Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 44, Forty-Nine City Change Flag
On January 1949, 1, not long after the New Year, the ancient Forty-Nine City ushered in good news again.

After several rounds of arduous negotiations, Forty-Nine City declared its peaceful liberation, and our red army entered the city to take over the defense.

Dong dong dong, this early in the morning, before Jiang Yan got up, there was a knock on his door.

"Who is it?" Jiang Yan asked towards the door.

"Boss, get up, hurry up, if you go late, you won't be able to find a good seat."

He Yuzhu's broken voice came from outside the door.

Hearing this voice, Jiang Yan felt a black line in his head. It was discussed in the courtyard yesterday, and today he went to see the army enter the city, but what happened at dawn, are you so anxious?

Jiang Yan scolded He Yuzhu himself, but the speed in his hands did not put on the clothes that grandma had prepared.

Pushing open the door, he saw He Yuzhu and Xu Damao holding a small red flag in their hands, their faces flushed with excitement.

"Why are you two, what about them!"

"They haven't gotten up yet! The two of us called you first." When He Yuzhu said this, he still looked at Jiang Yan with a face, as if you were coming to praise me.

Looking at the newly polished sky outside, Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and said to He Yuzhu: "You two are really kind to me."

"Silly Zhu, go get me some face washing water," Jiang Yan said, pointing to the iron kettle on the fireplace.

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, He Yuzhu rushed to get it.

After grooming, Jiang Yan's anger also dissipated, and he kicked Xu Damao and He Yuzhu each, "Go and eat."

Seeing that He Yuzhu opened his mouth to say something and glared at He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu just shut up, and the two of them followed Jiang Yan to Grandma Lu's room for breakfast.

After breakfast, Jiang Yan helped Grandma Lu and walked out of her home. Grandma Lu seemed quite excited today, and even dressed up specially. He wore the clothes that Jiang Yan specially made for him from Ruifuxiang before.

At first, Jiang Yan thought that Grandma Lu was dressed very solemnly, but after arriving at the gate of the courtyard, he found that almost all the people in the courtyard who watched the army enter the city were wearing new clothes and holding small red flags in their hands.

On this day, the vanguard of the Red Army entered the city from Xizhimen, Deshengmen and Fuxingmen in Sijiu City.

After entering the city, it joined the defense with the troops of the original government.

At about twelve noon, a neat and majestic large force entered Sijiu City from Xizhimen.

At the head of the army are several cars on which are placed portraits of great men, commander-in-chiefs and prime ministers.

Jiang Yan huddled in the crowd and desperately waved the small flag in his hand, tears blurred his eyes, and he repeated in a voice that only he could hear, "This is a civilized teacher, a mighty teacher. "

Now Jiang Yan wished he had a camera to take pictures of everything he saw.

It has been several days since the army entered the city. In the past few days, Jiang Yan has been busy outside with the courtyard house and his group of little brothers, voluntarily participating in the garbage cleaning work.

After the people's government began to take over Forty-Nine City, it began to clean up the garbage left in the city.

You must know that there are as many as 30 tons of garbage in the city at this time.This is not counting the garbage in the Forbidden City, which still has 20 tons.Otherwise, how would Tian Zao lead his children to pick up garbage.

What is the concept of this more than 50 tons of garbage?To put it simply, the area of ​​Beiping at that time was a little over 700 square kilometers, with a population of nearly 200 million. If the 50 tons of garbage were distributed, there would be two catties of garbage per square meter of land, and each person would have to carry 300 catties of garbage on their backs.It can be said that the people of Forty-Nine City at that time had been living in a huge garbage dump.

There is not only a lot of garbage in these four nine cities, but also a very long time. The earliest can be traced back to the end of the Qing Dynasty.

That day Jiang Yan had just come back for lunch, when a military vehicle came outside the courtyard. The military vehicle stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and a few heavily armed people came down from it.

The people in the courtyard didn't know what was going on when they saw these soldiers with guns in their hands. One by one, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe, and looked at these soldiers who came into the courtyard tremblingly.

Are you afraid?This group of people was the soldiers when the army entered the city, and they were not familiar with each other at all.

At a time when everyone didn't know what to do, He Yuzhu ran out of the house, walked around the soldier, and looked him up and down curiously.

This action of He Yuzhu scared the adults in the courtyard.Especially He Daqing was trembling with fright.

But he naturally suppressed his fear and walked out, pulled He Yuzhu behind him, and quickly explained to the leader who came, "Master Jun's children are ignorant, ignorant, and you have a lot of adults. If there is anything to do next time, as long as we can do it, you can just ask."

"Dad, you called me wrong. You shouldn't be called Mr. Jun, you should be called Comrade." He Yuzhu said while hiding behind He Daqing.

"This kid still knows to be called Comrade, who taught you this." The instructor of our army touched He Yuzhu's head and said cheerfully

These few days, He Yuzhu followed Jiang Yan to work outside, and Jiang Yan kept instilling in his ears the people's army as a mighty and civilized teacher. He naturally knew what to call it.

"My boss told me." He Yuzhu said proudly.

"Who is your boss!" the instructor of our army asked again.

"My boss is Jiang Yan. Let me tell you, my boss knows a lot. He often finds stories for us!"

"Then do you know where your boss lives? Can you take me to meet your boss."

"Okay, okay, the boss is in the backyard, I'll take you there." After speaking, He Yuzhu took the soldiers to the backyard with his short legs.

As soon as the soldiers left, everyone in the courtyard exploded.

"I knew this person was a troublemaker. Sooner or later, others will know what he did outside. Look! Someone will come to deal with him, and I don't know if it will hurt us." This Jia Zhang The first to speak.

Hearing Jia Zhang's words, someone immediately catered to him, "Yes, yes, I don't know if it will hurt us."

"Boss, open the door, someone is looking for you." Jiang Yan, who had just finished eating and was about to take a rest, heard He Yuzhu's voice.

"Who is looking for me! If you dare to lie to me, silly Zhu, be careful with your skin." Jiang Yan couldn't stop sleeping, and opened the door of his room cursing.

Seeing the people behind He Yuzhu, he was stunned, and said happily, "Company Commander Ma, why are you here?"

The company commander Ma was also very happy to see Jiang Yan, "Xiaoyan, you have grown taller, and our troops have also entered the city. It doesn't mean that our captain is worried about you and sent me over to see you."

"Where is Captain Hao! Didn't he come?" Jiang Yan asked.

This company commander Ma was from the previous advance team and was under Hao Pingchuan. In those few days, apart from Hao Pingchuan taking him to play, this company commander Ma took him the most, and the two of them were familiar with each other.

"Our captain went to study, but maybe he will also go to the city, but I don't know when."

Hearing Company Commander Ma's words, Jiang Yan remembered that this "Glorious Age" had something Hao Pingchuan and Zheng Chaoyang studied, and this guy probably should work in the police station when he comes back.
