Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

A train from south to north was moving at a constant speed. Dabao was sitting in the soft sleeper compartment, watching the scenery flashing outside the window. Jinhai stayed in Shanghai to deal with the aftermath, and Dabao had to go to Hebei before returning to Beijing.

According to Yu Zecheng's recollection, his wife Chen Cuiping was from Yi County, Hebei Province, and had served as a guerrilla leader. On the eve of the liberation of Beijing, he lost contact with his superior, Emei Peak, and was forced to go to Lingnan by Wu Jingzhong, the station chief of the Beijing Military Control Station.

At the Beijing airport, that was the last time he saw his wife.

Soon after arriving in Lingnan, he reconnected with the organization. The organization also sent him a new liaison and gave him a new mission, requiring him to follow the defeated army to Taiwan to continue lurking.

He once asked the contact person to help find his wife's whereabouts. At that time, the contact person smiled bitterly and said, what would happen if he found her? From the contact person's words, he learned that

His wife, Chen Cuiping, was not allowed to appear in public until his mission was completed and could only stay in the mountains or in the town to prevent him from being exposed.

Therefore, Yu Zecheng believed that Chen Cuiping must be in Yi County, and if Dabao did not accompany him on this trip, the local government and military would not be able to help Yu Zecheng find Cuiping's whereabouts.

Ten years is a very critical period for a person. Losing contact for ten years often means never seeing each other again in your lifetime.

Yu Zecheng sat opposite Dabao, Mu Wanqiu and Tong Liang sat in the private room next door. Mu Wanqiu insisted on accompanying Yu Zecheng to find Cuiping. She wanted to return Yu Zecheng intact to Cuiping in person.

This is an obsession. Only by seeing Cui Ping can Mu Wanqiu completely let go of Yu Zecheng.

Dabao glanced at Yu Zecheng and sighed secretly in his heart. The files about Yu Zecheng had been transferred to him from the General Staff. Among them, on the eve of the liberation of Beijing, Yu Zecheng used the dead mailbox to contact the organization when he arrived in Lingnan. During this period, Yu Zecheng was out of contact for twelve days.

For underground workers, these twelve days of loss of contact were fatal. The reason why Yu Zecheng still stayed with Dabao and his superiors did not assign him any work was because they could not find out where Yu Zecheng had been during these twelve days.

It wasn't that the organization didn't trust Yu Zecheng, but it was the rule. According to the rule, Yu Zecheng was to be isolated for investigation. It was Dabao who saved him. However, Dabao didn't tell Yu Zecheng about these circumstances because he didn't want to disappoint a hero.

Yu Zecheng was feeling uneasy, in stark contrast to his calm personality. The closer the train got to Hebei, the more fluctuating his heart became. When the two separated, Chen Cuiping was already pregnant. If she calculated, the child would be nine years old now, but he didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl.

The train stopped at Baozhou Prefecture, and the local military district arranged a car to pick them up. Two cars stopped on the platform, and two officers stood beside the cars. They were there to pick up Dabao and the others.

The train door opened, and Dabao was the first to get off the train. Two officers hurried forward, stood at attention and saluted.

"Hello, Commander! You've worked hard. We are from the Security Department of the Baozhou Garrison District. My name is Li Liang, and this is my colleague Wang Mingyu. In accordance with your orders, the Commander and Political Commissar are waiting for you at the military district."

Dabao raised his hand in return.

"We need to go to Yi County later to make some arrangements."

"Yes! Make arrangements immediately."

Dabao and others got on the jeep, which drove out of the station and headed towards the security area.

In front of the garrison office building, three lieutenant colonels surrounded two colonels and were waiting anxiously. One of the lieutenant colonels was sharp-eyed and pointed at the jeep that had just turned in and shouted.

"Commander, Political Commissar, the Chief is here."

The vehicle stopped in the middle of the yard, and two officers quickly jumped out and opened the doors.

Yu Zecheng, Mu Wanqiu and Tong Liang quickly got out of the car. Dabao was the last one to get out of the jeep.

Several leaders of the garrison area hurried over and saluted.

"Hello, Commander Qin!"

Dabao returned the greeting and shook hands with the commander and political commissar one by one. Now Dabao was full of momentum as a superior. He was used to bowing his head in his previous life, but in this life he finally held his head high and straightened his chest.

The commander whispered.

"Chief, the food is ready and we can eat soon."

Dabao nodded.

"After dinner, please arrange two cars for us. We need to rush to Yi County."

The commander said repeatedly.

"No problem, but Commander, the call from the General Staff is in an hour. Director Wu, please answer the phone. Otherwise, you can stay here for the night and come back tomorrow."

Dabao frowned. Director Wu? Wu Jianghe, the second-in-command of the General Staff, what did he want from him? Regardless, he had to take the call. He probably wouldn't be able to go to Yi County today.

Dabao turned around and asked.

"Lao Yu, I have something to do here. Do you want to go to Yi County today, or should we go together tomorrow?"

Yu Zecheng was extremely anxious at this moment. If possible, he didn't even want to eat this meal. He was anxious to see Chen Cuiping and the child, he said hurriedly.

"Director Qin, please go ahead and do your thing. I'll go look for it first."

Dabao understood Yu Zecheng's mood at the moment, and he waved to Tong Liang,

"After dinner, the garrison will send a car to take you to Yi County. I'll be there later or tomorrow. When you get to Yi County, first contact the Public Security Bureau and the government and ask them for help in finding the person. If you encounter any problems that are difficult to resolve, bring your General Staff ID to the Armed Forces Department for help."

"Yes."

There is famine all over the country, the army's food standards have been reduced again and again, and the army's daily training has been changed from daily training to training every three days, and now it has been even more severe, changed to training every five days.

In the spacious cafeteria, there was a table at the side with four dishes on it: stir-fried bean sprouts, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, sweet and sour fish, and braised pork, with a bowl of rice next to it. The standard was already quite high.

Dabao didn't act pretentiously and started eating after a greeting. After the meal, Yu Zecheng, Mu Wanqiu and Tong Liang left accompanied by an officer.

Dabao accompanied the commander and the political commissar to an office. Offices in that era were all the same. The only difference was that there were two telephones, one black and one red, on the table to prove that this was the commander's office.

Dabao drank tea, slightly closed his eyes and waited for the call. The commander and the political commissar did not dare to speak, but sat beside him.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally the red phone rang. Dabao stood up and picked up the phone. The commander and the political commissar hurried out. The red phone was a confidential phone and they were not qualified to answer it.

"Director, I'm Qin Dabao."

Director Wu on the other end of the phone had a hoarse voice. It seemed that he had not rested for a long time, and his tone was full of fatigue.

"Comrade Qin Dabao, you must return to the capital within three days. There is a mission for you to complete..."
