"Auntie, no, we don't drink this porridge! ”
In 1940, in a farmhouse compound in Yimeng Mountain, Shandong, several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army suddenly stood in place with porridge bowls.
When the peasant woman heard this, she said with an unnatural expression: "Hurry up and eat, there is still in the pot." ”
Seeing that the peasant woman was talking about him left and right, the squad leader directly put down the bowl and said to the peasant woman seriously: "Auntie, if you don't tell the truth, we won't eat!" ”
Only then did the peasant woman tell the truth.
After listening to the eldest mother's explanation, the squad leader and the whole class of soldiers said bitterly: "Auntie, you are confused! ”
What the hell is going on in this small compound?
What secrets are hidden in this small bowl of porridge?
This peasant woman's name is Fang Lanting, because her husband's surname is Zhou, and the neighbors call her Aunt Zhou, and she is the president of the 4 counties promotion association of Lintan Feiyi Bianlian, and the president of the Wenhe County Women's Association.
To say that this Fang Lanting has been extremely assertive since she was a child, she hates that her little feet hurt, so she often unravels them. As an adult, he followed his grandfather who was a beekeeper and practiced good eloquence.
When he was 20 years old, Fang Lanting married Zhou Zhencang of Fei County.
In 1931, on the way back from the eastern part of the country, Zhou Zhencang met Guo Yunfang, a member of the Communist Party, and his home became a contact point for the Communist Party.
In 1933, Zhou Zhencang joined the Communist Party of China and became an underground traffic officer.
Because both husband and wife are illiterate, and the traffic officers are one-line contacts, no one knows anyone, and the transmission of information is based on codes.
Like most people, they ask how much this thing costs, and the couple knows that it is just an ordinary customer. Once someone asks, "Are you going to come back next time?" The couple knew that the man had arrived.
Of course, for the sake of prudence, only if both parties have the right code, the couple will take out a note with information and hand it to the visitor.
Once on the way to the market, the couple met a dying little beggar, and Fang Lanting gave the little beggar a fire.
A few days later, the little beggar suddenly climbed over the wall and startled Fang Lanting, who was spreading pancakes.
Fang Lanting looked at it, wasn't this the beggar he met on the road a few days ago? At this time, she only heard the landlord shouting to catch the thief, so she quickly hid the little beggar in the firewood and covered the mat.
When the landlord broke in to inquire, Fang Lanting pretended to be scared and pointed to the east wall of the courtyard.
After the landlord walked away, the little beggar came out and kowtowed three times to Fang Lanting, saying: "From now on, you are my godmother, my name is Shi Bangjie, and I will repay you in the future." After speaking, he left with the pancakes that Fang Lanting had packed for him.
Fang Lanting didn't take it to heart, it was just a meeting in Pingshui and a gesture.
In 1938, the Communist Party of China established a base in Lunan and established a unified office in the four counties of Lintan, Feiyi, and Bianlian, and Fang Lanting became an honorable member of the Communist Party of China and served as the head of the promotion association.
In 1939, he led the 115th Division to be stationed in the Lunan Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Base.
In the fall, there is a piece of information that needs to be sent to *** in the 4 border counties.
Because Zhou Zhencang was sick and bedridden, Fang Lanting offered to complete this task by himself. She hid the information in her bun, crossed the mountains and mountains, and successfully handed the information into the hands of ***.
When Fang Lanting was about to return home, she found that her husband Zhou Zhencang was escorted out by a group of Japanese soldiers, and it turned out that her husband was arrested for being betrayed by traitors.
The Japanese army did not get any information from Zhou Zhencang, so they were so angry that they tied him to the jujube tree at the entrance of the village and showed him to the public, and later stabbed him to death with a bayonet, and the blood stained Zhou Zhencang's white coat red.
Fang Lanting reluctantly buried her husband, she took her 2 daughters, resolutely left home, and replaced her husband as the new underground traffic officer.
She hid the information in her bun, or in the soles of her shoes, or on her daughter's body, and successfully completed the information transmission work again and again.
In 1940, there was a squad in the 115th Division that lived in Fang Lanting's house, which was a group of half-year-old children. Since they moved in, they always helped Fang Lanting clean the yard and chop wood and carry water.
Fang Lanting's 2-year-old daughter, Xiaolan, likes to play with these big brothers very much, and Xiaolan's laughter echoes in the yard.
In 1940, under the influence of the enemy's sweep and natural disasters, the common people had difficulties in life, so they could only rely on digging wild vegetables and cooking vegetables to survive.
The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were no exception, and they could only eat bran vegetables. These children still have to fight devils, and they are all hungry because they can't eat, and one has yellow faces and thin muscles.
Fang Lanting was very distressed, but the rice jar at home had long been empty, and the wild vegetables in the mountains had long been dug up, she had the heart but was powerless.
At this time, Xiaolan, who was more than 2 years old, dragged Fang Lanting's trouser leg and cried: "Mother, I'm hungry." ”
Seeing Xiaolan, Fang Lanting had an idea, she picked up her daughter and said let's go, my mother will take you to find food for the Eighth Route Army brother.
Fang Lanting took Xiaolan to a house in the village and put Xiaolan down.
Sensible Xiaolan thought that her mother had to foster herself in someone else's house because of work, and she didn't cry or make trouble when her mother left.
In the evening, Fang Lanting brought back 20 catties of millet and beckoned the soldiers to help grind the millet and make rice.
The soldiers were astonished and asked where the grain came from in this year of famine.
Fang Lanting told them that she had borrowed the grain from a long way away, and would return it when she had harvested the grain the following year.
The warriors didn't think about anything else and happily helped Zami.
In the evening, they drank fragrant and thick millet porridge.
After eating halfway, the squad leader found that something was wrong, the little girl Xiaolan didn't come out to drink porridge, so he asked Fang Lanting where Xiaolan went to play.
Hearing the mention of Xiaolan, the corners of Fang Lanting's mouth twitched, she didn't answer, just turned her head and said, "Hurry up and eat, there is still in the pot after eating." ”
The squad leader put down the dishes and chopsticks and forced Fang Lanting, Auntie, Xiaolan not to eat, and we didn't eat either.
Fang Lanting said at this time, she gave Xiaolan to a childless family in the village as a daughter, and the 20 catties of millet were given by that family.
When the soldiers heard this, they were anxious, and they all knelt in front of Fang Lanting and shouted: "Auntie, it's not right for you to do this, how can you let us eat like this." ”
The squad leader took the lead in taking out the change on his body, saying that this was the party fee that he had not yet had time to pay, and called on the soldiers to get together and go to redeem Xiaolan first.
After the soldiers of the class hugged their heads and cried, they all drained their pockets, they did not ask Fang Lanting which house the child was sold to, but organized people to go door to door to ask who had an extra year-old girl.
In the end, the brothers of the Eighth Route Army wasted their efforts and finally brought Xiaolan home.
They said that Xiaolan was a descendant of the revolution, and the Eighth Route Army fought devils precisely so that Xiaolan and children like her would not be bullied in the future.
Xiaolan, who returned home, didn't know that she was almost sold, and she happily stretched out her little hand to her mother to hug her.
Fang Lanting accepted the criticism with tears, and since then, she has never had the intention of betraying her child, no matter how difficult it is, she will take the child with her.
When the commander of the Eighth Route Army found out, he was also moved, this is the simple people in our Yimeng Mountains, who would rather be hungry than support the front line, would rather sell their own children, and exchange food for the soldiers.
One day, the organization gave Fang Lanting a task: to persuade Shi Bangjie's subordinates to go down the mountain to resist the Japanese, and she learned that it turned out that Shi Bangjie went up the mountain to become a bandit, specializing in robbing the landlord's old wealth.
Under the persuasion of Fang Lanting, Shi Bangjie did not hesitate, and the next day he took a team of several hundred people down the mountain, accepted the reorganization of the 115th Division, and rushed to the front line of the War of Resistance against Japan.
In 1940, the brave and resourceful Shi Bangjie, in a battle against Zaozhuang, was betrayed by a traitor and would rather die than give in, and was buried alive by the enemy.
When the news of Shi Bangjie's sacrifice came, Fang Lanting wiped away his tears and continued to take Xiaolan on the road of resisting Japan. During the Liberation War, she has also been the pioneer of the front, and has been awarded second-class and third-class merits many times.
The people in the Yimeng Mountains are helping our Eighth Route Army and the People's Liberation Army with their lives, and the people's army loves the people, the people support the army and love the army, and the army and the people love each other.
Some people say that Fang Lanting was too ruthless, and in order to exchange food for the soldiers, he even gave up his own daughter and was not worthy of being a mother.
But as everyone knows, during the war years, it was precisely because there were countless Yimeng Hongsao, like Fang Lanting, and heroic mothers who gave up their small families and made great sacrifices for the sake of thousands of children, that our party and army won the victory of the revolution! Only then do we have a quiet and stable life!
Salute to the heroic mother Fang Lanting! Salute to the martyr Shi Bangjie! Salute to the people of the Yimeng Mountain Base Area!
