Half bowl of highland barley noodles character quality

Premier Zhou is a person who cherishes food, loves food, is kind, helpful, never gives up on the revolutionary cause, and is generous.

Before Vice Chairman Zhou recovered from his illness, the Red Army entered the grassland.

The vast grassland is vast and full of waist-deep water plants. Under the water plants are either tangled haystacks or deep mire. If you accidentally step into the mire, you will be swallowed up in the blink of an eye. The weather in the grassland is very strange. From morning to night, you can experience the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter in one day. One moment it was cloudless, and the scorching sun made my skin hurt. Then it was cold and rainy, and then there was heavy snow, which was so cold that my teeth chattered.

On this uninhabited grassland, the Red Army had only a pitiful amount of highland barley (that is, naked barley) as military food. In the beginning, every time they arrived at the camp, the Red Army soldiers would cook a bowl of highland barley noodles in a washbasin, which was counted as one meal, three bowls a day. Later, I could only eat two bowls a day, and then I could only eat a small bowl of highland barley noodles a day. The officers and soldiers were so hungry that they were all weak and staggered when they walked. This is true for healthy people, but it is naturally even more uncomfortable for Vice Chairman Zhou who is ill. However, Vice Chairman Zhou resolutely carried out the order and never ate more highland barley. He also taught the soldiers that in order to get out of the grassland and go north to fight against Japan, they must cherish the food.

After listening to his words, the soldiers all put the little bit of highland barley noodles in their grain bags with tears in their eyes and tied them to their belts.

The soldiers mixed a little bit of highland barley with wild vegetables to make soup every day. One day, the soldier Wu Shengkai hid outside the crowd, squatting on the ground and vomiting. Vice Chairman Zhou saw it and walked over to him and asked:

"Are you sick?"

"No , no."

"How can you vomit if you are not sick?"

"That's it"

"That's it? "The wild vegetables are too bitter. After eating them, you will feel dizzy and your whole body will be weak."

Vice Chairman Zhou knew that Wu Sheng had no more highland barley noodles to eat, so he asked guard Wei Guolu to give Wu Sheng two bowls of the highland barley noodles he had saved. . He looked at Wu Sheng's sallow face and encouraged him:

"This is revolution. If we suffer a little today, the people will not have to suffer in the future. For the sake of the revolution, we must be prepared to suffer a lot." He Wu Shengkai was asked to persist and walk out of the grassland, and he was asked to ride on his horse.

Wu Shengkai was moved to tears and said: "As long as I have breath, I will follow the party and follow you out of the grassland to revolution to the end!"

That night, there was another violent storm. . Of course, the tent made of sheets could not withstand the wind and rain, and the soldiers were soaked in the rain. Vice Chairman Zhou ordered the guards to rest in the tent where he worked. Everyone was afraid of affecting his work and refused to go. He came in person in the heavy rain and said, "I feel uneasy if you don't go." Everyone had no choice but to walk into his tent and sit back-to-back with Vice Chairman Zhou until dawn. The cold wind on the grass chilled the muscles and bones of the soldiers, but Vice Chairman Zhou's affection warmed the hearts of the soldiers like fire.

After walking like this for several days, the grass is still endless. The soldiers had finished eating their highland barley noodles and all the wild vegetables on the road. The headquarters ordered that the army horses be killed and their meat eaten. There are many people but few horses, and the horse meat is quickly eaten up. So the Red Army burned their belts and even swallowed the papers they carried to satisfy their hunger. The Red Army was in great difficulty.

Vice Chairman Zhou gave an order to give everyone the little highland barley noodles he treasured to soak in water.

Wei Guolu was anxious: "Then, what do you eat?"

Vice Chairman Zhou's two big eyes shone with a stern light, and the muscles on his thin face were trembling: "Comrade As long as one more revolutionary comrade lives, it will add strength to the revolutionary cause!"

This is mixed with a little bit of hot water from highland barley noodles. into the hands of a warrior. The soldiers shed tears, this is not a little bit of highland barley noodles, this is Vice Chairman Zhou’s heart and his own life! Everyone silently swore, "As long as I don't stop breathing, I will crawl out of the grass!"

The soldiers were on the road again, marching on this vast grassland with an indestructible iron path. Red Army.
