Red Story Speech Notes

A bag of dry food

This story happened many years ago, when my uncle in the Red Army was on the Long March.

In the hospital of the Red Army, there was a little Red Army named Xiaolan. Xiaolan is only 13 years old. Her father and mother were both forced to death by the landlords. She was also dragged to work by the landlords and was exploited, beaten and scolded by the landlords. Later, when the Red Army came, Xiaolan ran to the army and refused to leave the Red Army.

During the Red Army’s Long March, Xiaolan followed the troops into the grassland.

When children talk about grass, they will definitely think of the lawn with green grass in the park, which is flat and beautiful. The grassland where the Red Army uncle lived was not like that. It was extremely desolate. There are nothing but weeds on the ground and there are mud puddles, and it would take dozens of days to walk through it. Along the way there was not a single house or common people to be seen. There were only a few eagles flying in the sky.

On this day, while walking, a small village appeared in front of me. The Red Army uncle was very happy when he saw it. Xiaolan was also jumping up and down with joy. Once you have a village, you can find food.

When the troops entered the village, Xiaolan arranged for the sick and wounded, then took the rice bags and went to look for food. But there are no ordinary people in the village.

Xiaolan was walking in the village and saw a wheat field. There is a pile of wheat straw on the field, with unbeaten wheat grains on it. She pounded the wheat straw over and over again, picking up grains here and there. Totally less than a small bowl. How many meals can I eat with this food? No, we still have to find it! Xiaolan had just walked not far when she happened to meet a big red soldier walking over carrying a heavy bag of things.

Xiaolan took a look and said, "Hey, isn't this the big man who was injured in our hospital?" Xiaolan hurriedly asked:

"Hey, where did you get so much food?"

The big Red Army man put down his pocket and said: "Hey, it's Xiaolan, I This grain was dug out in the landlord's yard. How much grain did you find?"

Xiaolan stretched out her pocket and said, "Here, it's all here!"

Big man. The Red Army took the rice bag, weighed it, and said with a smile: "Xiaolan, I heard that I have to walk through the grassland for more than 20 days. This little wheat is not enough to fill my teeth!"

"Look for it tomorrow. Well!"

"Come on, give me some of mine!"

As he said this, he held the wheat and was about to put it into Xiaolan's rice bag. Xiaolan hurriedly hid the rice bag behind her back, waved her hand and said:

"No, there are many of you, and you don't have enough to eat."

The big Red Army man with long arms snatched it away As he poured the rice bag into it, he said kindly:

"It doesn't matter, each of us eats one less bite, and it saves money."

Xiaolan found some elsewhere. The wheat is fried, ground into wheat flour, and placed in a rice bag. I thought: If I eat a handful of these wheat flour in one meal, and pick some wild grass and vegetables, I can eat it for 20 days, and I will have no problem walking out of the grassland. right! We should also save some for the sick and wounded.

The next morning, the troops set off.

Xiaolan supported the wounded, closely followed the troops, and walked forward carefully. As we walked, a small river appeared in front of us. A temporary bridge was built on the river with tree trunks, and the river water flowed under the bridge.

Xiaolan put the rice bag on her shoulder, held the wounded man tightly and said: "Comrade, it's time to cross the bridge, walk slowly!"

Who knows, when we reach the bridge In the middle, the wounded man suddenly started coughing, his face turned red, and his body was shaking. His feet slipped and his body tilted. Xiaolan quickly supported him. But the bag of wheat flour on Xiaolan's shoulder fell into the river. The rice bag rolled in the water a few times and then washed away.

Xiaolan was stunned, and she shouted softly:

"Oh, what can we do?"

The wounded man looked at her and looked at the river. She was stunned and asked:

"Xiaolan, what fell into the river?"

Xiaolan quickly shook her head: "No, nothing fell. Let's go. Come on!"

At this time, the head nurse came from behind. Xiaolan told her that the wounded man had a bad cough. The head nurse held the wounded man with both hands and said:

"Okay, go to the front and see the doctor."

Seeing that Xiaolan seemed to have something wrong, she asked again:

"Xiaolan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No.

Hmm..."

Xiaolan took back the words that just came to her mouth. She thought: She can't tell her about throwing the rice bag. If the comrades know about it, they will definitely give away their food. Come out and give it to me. Everyone has very little food, how can I eat theirs? No, I have to insist!

The head nurse quickly pulled out a lot of weeds and put them in her satchel. , the satchel was stuffed as if it were real food.

At night, Xiaolan was afraid that everyone would see her eating weeds, so she went to change the dressings of the wounded and wash the bandages. After eating and resting, she cooked wild grass and ate it. After a few days, Xiaolan's health became worse. She often had diarrhea, felt dizzy, and had no energy at all. One day, she was walking and fell to the ground. When she woke up, she found that the head nurse was carrying her.

She was in her 40s. Now, like everyone else, she has been eating weeds and wheat flour these days and is very weak. She is carrying Xiaolan on her back, with big beads of sweat dripping from her face, breathing heavily, and staggering forward.

Xiaolan woke up and said: "Chief caretaker, I can walk by myself, please let me down!" "

After begging for a long time, the head nurse put her down. Xiaolan gritted her teeth and persisted until the evening. After everyone had a rest, she hid aside to cook weeds.

At this time, the head nurse came over with a smile: "Xiaolan, are you feeling better? Hey, why are you hiding here alone and cooking?

Xiaolan quickly covered the porcelain jar with her hands: "I've cooked something to eat, and I don't want you to see it!" "

"Okay! I don't look.

The head nurse said this, and when Xiaolan wasn't paying attention, he snatched the porcelain jar over and took a look: "Oh, Xiaolan, why are you just eating weeds without adding any wheat flour?" ? ”

“There’s still a long way to go, just save it and eat it slowly!” ”

“Where is your rice bag?”

Xiaolan patted her satchel and said, "Isn't this it?"

The head nurse asked strangely: "Why did you put it in your satchel?" ”

“There is a hole in the rice bag, so I’m afraid the wheat flour will leak out!” ”

“Bring it! I'll sew it for you. "

As he said that, the head nurse grabbed Xiaolan's satchel and opened it. It was full of weeds. She was stunned.

"Xiaolan, your wheat flour Woolen cloth? "

When Xiaolan saw the head nurse caring about her so much, she wanted to speak, but her throat seemed to be blocked. She couldn't say a word, and tears flowed down. Passed. After a while, she told the head nurse about the missing food.

The head nurse heard this and said, "Oh, Xiaolan, why didn't you tell me earlier? We join the revolution together, like brothers and sisters. You are out of food, everyone should help you!

As he said that, the head nurse took out a handful of wheat flour from his rice bag and put it into Xiaolan's jar.

"You eat first, I will report it right away." Chief. "

After a while, the news about Xiaolan throwing away food spread like a gust of wind. Comrades immediately came over with rice bags, and you grabbed them and went straight to Xiaolan's satchel. Xiaolan hurriedly waved her hands and said:

"No, no, thank you everyone..."

At this time, the wounded man came over on crutches, holding some food, and was excited. Said:

“Xiaolan, you lost the food to save me. You must accept my share.

The comrades all said: "Xiaolan, please accept it." No matter how difficult it is, we have to get you, the little Red Army soldier, out of the grassland. "

As for Xiaolan, she was so moved that she couldn't say a word, so she had to accept everyone's food.

That night, Xiaolan couldn't sleep. Thinking of her childhood, I was exploited, beaten and scolded in the landlord's house. If I hadn't found the Communist Party, I would have died long ago. After joining the Red Army, I received so much help and education from the leaders and comrades, and learned so much revolutionary principles!

Xiaolan secretly made up her mind to always listen to the party and always follow the Communist Party!
