    Wang Jinna, escorted by Xiaohu, returned to Xiangxi again. Due to the resumption of classes in school, Zhang Yi's original plan to have Xiaoqiang come with him also changed. This time, Wang Jinna and Xiaohu only came here to visit relatives.

    The distance from Wuhan to Xiangxi is actually not that far, but due to the barrier between rivers and mountains and the inconvenience of transportation, it took four days to walk this road.  They first arrived in Changde, which is the only way to western Hunan. Wang Jinna spent a day here. This ancient city is now like all cities in the country. The city is covered with colorful big-character posters, and the walls are everywhere.  Eye-catching quotations from Mao Zedong are painted with lime, and people on the street are all wearing Mao Zedong's photo stamps. The streets are deserted and relatively clean, but the most prosperous He Street has lost its beauty and lacks the charm in Wang Jinna's memory.  The streets are full of pedestrians and shops. Many stores have been converted into public ownership at this time. Even if they are open, there are only one or two salesmen sitting inside, cracking melon seeds and chatting. No one cares about this store.  Are there any customers here?  Going down the river street is the wharf of Yuanjiang River. Today's wharf is also much deserted. There are almost no boats that transported grain and tung oil on the water. The wooden sailing boats have basically been replaced by motor sailing boats or small steamers.  Today, there is only one state-owned shipping company on the Yuanjiang River. The shipping bosses who were fiercely competitive back then have long since been wiped out.  On the surface, this is a gray city that has lost its tradition. Perhaps the people here have long forgotten the history of more than 20 years ago, the ruins, and the spirit!

    On the day she stayed in Changde, Wang Jinna took Xiaohu to the cemetery of the 74th Army. This cemetery is not far from the Yuanjiang Pier. The entrance to the cemetery is a tall cement stone archway with three doors.  , but now the archway is completely gray, and the original characters engraved on it are either contaminated by red paint or have fallen off, and the original appearance cannot be seen. What makes Wang Jinna feel a little comforted is that the archway is still there after all, and  Compared with the destruction of the Martyrs' Shrine in Hengshan Mountain, Nanyue, she was very lucky to have not been destroyed as one of the "Four Olds".  Just walking into the cemetery, he felt desolate. She saw that many tombstones had been broken, and some had been pushed down. There were messy scenes here and there. It was obvious that they had been vandalized.  .  The cemetery was knee-deep in grass and there were almost no roads, but Wang Jinna still walked around it. Suddenly she saw a section of human bones exposed on a cemetery. She was startled, and immediately walked over, scooping up handfuls of soil.  She was still a little worried about covering it, so she found another brick to press it down, for fear that the soil would be washed away by the rain.

    Seeing his mother¡¯s sacred and solemn appearance, Xiaohu couldn¡¯t help but tell her: ¡°Mom, these are the graves of Kuomintang soldiers!¡±

    Wang Jinna turned around, glanced at him, and then turned her head to the sky. The sky was still dark, and the sun had not appeared for a long time. The gloomy sky meant that the plum rain season would soon arrive.  She was silent for a moment, then turned around again, looked directly at her son's handsome face, and said slowly: "They are Kuomintang soldiers, but they are also Chinese, and they sacrificed for the liberation of our nation. They are also heroes!  "

    Xiaohu lowered his head, not daring to face his mother's reproachful eyes again.

    After coming out of the cemetery, Wang Jinna found an old tombkeeper. The old man told them that the reason why the cemetery was not completely destroyed by the rebels was because many citizens spontaneously formed a guardian group.  The park team stopped the Red Guards and rebels from doing whatever they wanted.  After hearing this incident, Wang Jinna had a lot of emotions, which shows that the people are still clear-minded. Changde has not forgotten those martyrs who fought bloody battles for him!

    There are two modes of transportation from Changde to Jishou, the capital of Xiangxi Prefecture. One is to take a car along the Changji Highway and pass through the three counties of Taoyuan, Yuanling and Luxi to reach Jishou. This road is also the one that Wang Jinna takes the most in and out of Xiangxi.  road; and another mode of transportation is to take a boat from Changde Wharf, go up the river, disembark at Luxi River, and then transfer to a car or small steamer to Jishou City.  Considering that Wang Jinna's health had just recovered, Xiaohu was worried that she wouldn't be able to withstand the bumps of the long distance, so he finally chose to take a boat. Although it was much slower than taking a car, it was relatively smooth.

    Sitting on a boat and traveling on the Yuanjiang River again made Wang Jinna recall the first time she followed Zhang Xian out of Guizhou. That time, she was also preparing to take a boat back to Changde from Hongjiang River, but she was overturned by Tian Xiuxiuma because of her greed for drinking.  , and then Zhang Xian married Xiu Xiu, but in the end Zhang Xian took him back to Changde by boat.  Thinking about the past that has become a memory is really disappointing.  She suddenly remembered the story about Shen Congwen that she told Zhang Xian back then.Although my wife is dark and not as beautiful as Dafeng, she is very hard-working and does not look like a coquettish lady.  However, now that she is still in school, you are right to reject her!  "

    Hearing that his mother also praised his actions, Xiaohu felt much more at ease.

    Wang Jinna looked at her son, who had already calmed down, and then persuaded him: "Xiaohu, don't worry, you can't rush about fate! Haha, just like me, who was in my thirties back then.  I haven't found a suitable lover. In fact, at that time, not only the family members were anxious, but I was also anxious. Until I saw your father, I knew that the person I was waiting for finally appeared, even though I was so much older than him.  , but in the end we ended up together, I think this is God¡¯s will!¡±

    Xiaohu nodded after listening to his mother's words, believing that when fate comes, love will come naturally.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
