Yulai's home is in Lu Hua Village, by the River of Returning Home. This is a small village in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border region. Lu Hua Village, what a beautiful name! It turns out that there are many reeds growing in the river of returning home. When reeds are in full bloom, the wind blows, and reeds like goose feathers fly all over the sky, covering small villages among soft reeds.
Yulai likes swimming in the river when he returns home. Every summer, when it rains, I will play naked in the river with a few friends, Steel-toed and Sanshuan. Rain has the highest lifting capacity. He can lie face down on the water and expose his little black belly on the water.
When Yulai 12 years old, his parents sent him to night school. Rain came to his mother and asked for a piece of red cloth. He wrapped the mimeographed book in leather and wrote the word "Rain is coming" in pencil.
The first lesson for female teachers in blue cloth is: "We come from China, and we love our motherland." Yulai studied hard and followed the female teacher word for word. He knows that his family is poor and has no money to send him to school. He should learn a few words at night school, not blind.
On this day, I came back from night school, and Yu Lai was lying on the kang studying, reading aloud and falling asleep. I don't know when I woke up and saw my father come back.
Dad wears different clothes in peacetime: a bullet bag on his shoulder, a Grenade on his waist and a rifle on his back. Dad is going to fight the japs?
I heard my father whisper to my mother, "The devils are going to sweep again, and it will take a month or two to come back this time."
Rain came to get up and asked, "Dad, is it far?"
Dad said, "then there is no certainty!" You go to sleep quickly! "
Dad said to his mother, "Tomorrow you go to his grandmother's house in Dongzhuang and tell his uncle to bring the militia to the area quickly."
The next morning, my father left and my mother went to grandma's house in Dongzhuang, leaving Xiaoyu alone at home.
Towards noon, Xiaoyu came to eat some leftovers and lay on the kang to study. Suddenly, I heard someone running outside, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and enough paper was ringing.
When the rain came, he jumped off the kang, hid the book in his arms and ran outside. No sooner had he stepped out of the threshold than a man ran over and hit him. Yulai was startled and looked up. That's Uncle Li, a local traffic policeman. Uncle Li usually comes to live in Yulai's house.
Some Japanese devils are chasing Uncle Li. Uncle Li had no time to say anything, so he hurried to the corner to move a jar and jumped into the hole. For Yu, he said, "Move the jar back quickly and don't tell anyone."
There was half a jar of chaff in that jar, and it rained little. It took a lot of effort to move the jar back to its original place. At this time, the Japanese have already broken in. The rain came and ran to the backyard. The devil shouted with a gun, "Where are you going?" The rain didn't stop. The devil shot and the bullet flew over his head.
There is no door in the backyard. What should I do? Rain came to climb a peach tree under the wall and wanted to jump out of the yard. However, the devil has followed him, reaching for the raindrop's foot and pulling it down. The rain fell to the ground, was caught by the devil, and tied up with a rope.
It rained and the devil fell into the house. The devil rummaged through the room, was turned upside down and even stabbed the pillow.
