The Redemption of Spy War

Meng Ying saw off Meng Ao and went to her hometown of Wuxi again. When he comes back and completes the divorce procedures with Zi Ziping, I wish him smooth sailing in the future. After Meng Ying rested for two days without stopping, it was time to consider her own arrangements.

In fact, the organization still took good care of her. It sent Gui Yi, who was already working in a ministry in Beijing, to talk to her about whether it was easy for cousins ​​to talk to each other. As expected, Gui Yi was not very polite and went straight to the point, "Your official job has always been as a nurse. , considering your physical condition, you are not suitable to continue working in secret transportation. The organization and I personally recommend that you continue to work in the hospital."

Meng Ying sneered and said: "Cousin, you also know that my medical level is second-guessing. If it is a miracle, then it is forced to rush. If I continue to do specific work, it will harm others and myself. Even if I stay, In the hospital, I'm probably working as a handyman. That's really not interesting."

Guiyi sat with her in the guest house, looking at his cousin who was no longer young in the morning sun. She was wearing work clothes but had her hair tied up, as if she were a hibiscus blooming among the spring trees. Although it is no longer the spring flower season, the beauty of autumn is not the same. He couldn't help but sigh, "Then what are you going to do? You're not that good at other things. I know you have done the dock reconstruction work. But now that the three major reconstructions have been completed, there is no room for you to continue to use it. Otherwise, you should think about it. , go to the factory to be a publicity officer."

Today's Shanghai Beach has undergone ten years of transformation under the new China. It’s no longer that decadent and luxurious place. There are no more round-the-clock dance halls and beggars on the roadside. Instead, there are many more state-owned stores and various factories. As far as Meng Ying knows, she has reformed many prostitutes in the past! Women all work in glass bottle factories.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. In the past few years, the country has been striving to develop industry. Meng Ying came decades later and knew that it is these industrial foundations that will allow our country to no longer be controlled by others in the future.

But the problem is, good things come true, but this path may not suit her personally.

So she said: "Brother, if you can help me, I hope to work in the municipal library. I have experienced too much in my life and I want to write about it."

With Guiyi's rank and Meng Ying's outstanding contribution to national security. Arranging a library job is really not a big deal. But after all, Gui Yi also comes from an old underground party. Hearing this, he immediately frowned, sat upright, and said, "Yingying, I don't object to your liking to read and write, but you have to know that many of your experiences are not allowed to be made public and cannot be written down."

Of course Meng Ying knows that many things are still top secret, and some things will remain secret forever. How dare she write these things into a book? That not only harms others but also harms ourselves.

However, "Cousin, you misunderstood me. Our generation has experienced too much. From the Anti-Japanese War to the Liberation War, and then to the peaceful founding of the country, there are always some people and some things. In the great era, there are always There are many ordinary people who have experienced many extraordinary things. Some are deeply disgusting, and some are deeply touching. They should not be submerged in history with the changes of the times. At least someone should record them through artistic means. Come down."

Gui Yi pinched the cigarette butt unconsciously and was obviously touched. He smiled and said, "Now that you say this, I understand a little bit. It's a good idea. It's quite practical. Let's do this. The senior official of Qingpu District is now His name is Meng Siyuan. I have contacted him twice at work. I will go find him tomorrow morning. Just wait for my news."

Upon hearing this name, Meng Ying laughed to herself and said, "If it's him, I might be more familiar with that brother. After all, I worked with them when we went south, and I even took his arm from his comrades. I'll go find him myself." Him."

Guiyi smiled and said: "Yes, I'm really old. I remember this matter was even published in the newspaper. Okay. Then you go ahead."

After not seeing each other for nearly ten years, Meng Siyuan looked very old, but he also had the demeanor of a leader. He was still very happy after seeing Meng Ying coming. He made tea for her and said: "My sister sent this from Hangzhou. I want to thank you for this. When my ex-wife made trouble with me, I couldn't take care of her. If it weren't for you After finding connections with the Democratic League, the couple went to the bicycle factory in Xiaoshan, so they must return to their hometown."

Meng Ying smiled and finally decided not to hide it from him anymore. Instead of drinking tea, she said: "Actually, this was done by Comrade Zhou Yu back then. She was afraid that you would be embarrassed and didn't let me tell you."

Meng Siyuan's smile stopped. He abandoned his first girlfriend Zhou Yu for the kindness of his comrades, but what he got in the end was a shrewd wife and a useless marriage. I hurt the feelings of many good friends. In the end, they tried their best to get divorced, but found that the couple had already found another wife. He could only swallow the bitter pill and bless silently.

He took a sip of the tea, which was full of bitterness despite the mellow aroma. He couldn't help but ask: "I heard that she married a military commander in the Northeast. How are you... all these years?"

"Originally it was fine, but Commander Kong Jie is a bit stubborn. He has not been doing well recently. But Zhou Yu and several other children are not involved. In fact, I have long wanted to persuade you about our friendship. .For the sake of Xinhua and for yourself, find another one."

Meng Siyuan smiled bitterly, "Xinhua is also in college, so let's not talk about me. You want to work in the library, right?"

Meng Ying told him her original intention again, and Meng Siyuan, who had experienced profound changes in Chinese society, also strongly supported his idea. Arrangements were made immediately. People of that era loved work. Meng Ying was arranged to move into the dormitory on Jingle Street that afternoon. In the evening, she was notified to go to work on Monday.

In the past two days, many people I met at the beginning came, and the most enthusiastic one was of course Jiang Tianmei. She is now the leader of the Women's Federation, and she still has the same fiery temperament. He came with a lot of local specialties and talked about the gossips of people in those days for half the night.

From this, Meng Ying learned that Yuxiu was extremely unwilling after the divorce, and it was Qian's mother who forced her to go to Baoshan County to work. Wang Sancheng works as a security director in the government, but he still doesn't like to study. Xiang Hua unfortunately fell ill and was not as lucky as Tang Jixian. During the three years of natural disasters, he could not keep up with his nutrition and died. Tang Jixian and Situ Mei adopted the son he left behind, who happened to be the companion of their daughter. And Chen Shimei, the Chen family's best friend, was also transferred back to Shandong, and his wife left crying...

In the end, Meng Ying couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the person she wanted to introduce to her, so she forcibly sent him away. When I arrived at my workplace, there were not many materials in the libraries of that era. After sorting it out for a few days, Meng Ying found that it was similar to what she had read in the mountain city, so she started writing in her spare time at work.

Of course, Meng Ying's health is still not very good, and she still has to go to the hospital occasionally. Fortunately, she has also worked in the medical system for many years and still has many acquaintances. So it is more convenient to see a doctor and buy medicine.

During this period, I also met Jiang Bida's lover Jiang Chunyun who came to see the doctor. The two chatted for a long time, adding a lot of material to Meng Ying.

The years passed like this little by little. Time has eroded Meng Ying's original beautiful face and also given her some social hardships. Fortunately, everything will pass.

After the reform and opening up, Meng Ying went to work at the National People's Congress. Most of her old friends were gone, but she still wrote from memory.

Maybe it's because she's really old, and sometimes she gets things confused between two lifetimes. But it doesn’t matter. After all, novels are not documentary literature. His original intention was to record the joys and sorrows of this great era.

In 1983, Meng Ying finished writing the final draft in Shanghai. At this time, the country had returned the villa that belonged to the Fang family to her, and Tian Yu, who had gone through hardships, even brought her children as guests. But Li Yunlong was no longer here. She sighed, "I have never understood what you thought in this life. Fortunately, everything is over. I have endured all the suffering I should have suffered, and I can just look at the children."

Meng Ying smiled and said: "Look, you still place your hopes on others. Forget it, your personal life will get better and better in the future. How could I have imagined that I could return to the garden of my childhood to live in my lifetime? Look, So beautiful.”

The garden house was decorated by He Xiaoyu who came from afar. This top student who was supposed to shine in the field of economics can only do some housekeeping now.

After all, Meng Wei will come back with his family in a while, and they will have to accommodate him.

But Meng Ying did not wait until that day. One afternoon during Mengchun season. She fell asleep forever on the desk where she had been writing for many years.

By the time Xiaoyu found out, he was already completely cold, with only a faint smile on his face.

Next to her lies the book "Floating Clouds Scattered" which she wrote over twenty years.

The bright moon shines on people, the flowers are always beautiful, the moon is always full, and people last forever.

Xiaoyu couldn't help but burst into tears, and was afraid of getting the manuscript wet, so he quickly turned his back.

Finally, under the auspices of the Fang family, Meng Ying was buried beside her mother, less than two kilometers away from the place where she was rescued by Zheng Yaoxian.

Zhou Qiao also came, bringing with him a keepsake, which was the sapphire kept by Meng Ying. It was also the only proof of Zheng Yaoxian's identity. In order to hide it from others, they both said it was a wedding ring.

Now the organization has returned it to Zheng Yaoxian, and before Zheng Yaoxian died, he asked Zhou Qiao to hand it over to Meng Ying.

The Fang family didn't stop her. Zhou Qiao placed the box next to Meng Ying's ashes. Looking at Meng Ying's portrait, she suddenly felt that this relationship might be defined by love, which was too small.

At this time, a gust of warm wind blew by, as if saying a final farewell.
