1. The soul returns to its hometown

After learning that her husband was being held by the enemy, the old lady's first reaction was to buy some ribs and simmer a crockpot - she was going to visit the prison!

When the old lady was about to go out with a crockpot, she unexpectedly learned the bad news that her husband had died. She suddenly had her liver and intestines broken, and she fainted...... After waking up, she insisted on collecting the body despite everyone's dissuasion. She was sad, sad, and wronged, and she wanted to "wake up" the person who was already dead and called her husband - how could she be so ruthless!

At the river beach scene, the old lady witnessed her husband's bloodstained and unrecognizable appearance. She suddenly felt pity and sorrow, she couldn't "scold" out, and after crying for a while, she lost her voice, only the tears were still falling involuntarily......

The strong old lady washed her husband's face and scars with river water, and then took the initiative to transport his body back to her hometown. (Note: Among the more than a dozen people who died this time, Wang Shihong was the only one who was transported back to his hometown by his family for burial.) Because of the "White Terror" at the time, most of the family members did not dare to claim it, so the bodies of other martyrs were later buried by the guerrillas near Yejiawan. The burial procedure follows the folk custom, asking someone to build the coffin in time, and selecting and digging the cemetery...... The funeral robe was sewn by herself, so she took care of her husband's funeral with dignity and dignity.

After the liberation, the relevant government departments urged the old lady to move her husband's remains to the martyrs' cemetery in the county seat. But she replied: "First of all, I thank the party and the government for their care, but after death, people pay attention to the soil for peace, so there is no need to move around - add a burden to the government! Second, this is his hometown, let him 'sleep' here - down-to-earth!"

2. Hand sewn

When his grandfather died, Wang Linlin's father was only eight months old, and his aunt was just over two years old. The old lady wore the hat of a bandit family on her head, no one was too close and sympathetic, and in the face of the fields that needed to be cultivated, and the mouths of two young children who were waiting to be eaten, the life of the family was extremely difficult.

The old lady described the situation: "I had no tears at that time, I only thought about how to live and raise my children to adulthood!" So she was strong, relying on the skills of a female worker, and used a pair of scissors and a ruler to go from east to west and sew clothes for people.

At that time, all rural women could do female labor, but their skills were quite different, and there were very few people who could really do it well. Sewing clothes is a "porcelain" job, and there is no so-called "diamond diamond", which is absolutely impossible. One of the most difficult processes is cutting, which must be of the right size and not waste fabric. The old lady is a first-class master in cutting, and the stitches are fine and dense, so the clothes made by her will be very beautiful and durable.

Because of her excellent craftsmanship, the old lady gradually continued to work, but her meager wages could often only be calculated in kind such as rice and oil. Because everybody was poor at the time. Someone was so poor that it was rare to ask her to make clothes, and when it came time to settle the wages, she only received a symbolic fee. The most valuable thing is that most women can sew but can't cut, so helping people cut for free takes up a lot of her time, but she is always eager to help others. The old lady's behavior won everyone's praise, but she often said: "Alas, it is not easy for everyone, and it is right to help each other!"

The old lady was thrifty all her life, never wasting every piece of small cloth, the material was coarse for the soles, and the colored cloth was used for children's pockets. In particular, the colorful children's pockets are made up of many scraps of fabric of different colors. This durable and beautiful pocket has made Wang Linlin, his siblings, and many relatives and children enjoy it, and their second and third generations are still using it today.

3. Field complex and labor

People in the agricultural era had a strong concept of land and always believed that land was the foundation of human life! From a historical point of view, this idea is correct; if we look at it from the perspective of the future, the countryside and land are even more beautiful and precious.

Wang Linlin grew up in the countryside and knows that farming is difficult and difficult. In the era of farming, it is also the era of looking at the harvest, and people need to be diligent and attentive, but also look at God's face. Especially in times of drought, people are not only helpless and angry, but also engage in endless competition for limited water resources, and it is not uncommon for people to fight each other to the point of bleeding and even causing death.

After the death of her husband, it was indeed difficult for the old lady with small feet to take care of the fields. In the meantime, I also thanked many relatives and friends for their help. But "helping people for a while, it's hard to help for a lifetime", so she has to deal with many things herself.

Planting rice and weeding in the countryside is a common thing, but it is extremely painful for the old lady with small feet. Because the sand and gravel in the muddy water drilled straight into the flesh, her feet were bloody and blurry every time she was done. For this reason, the old lady once said: "I really wanted to lie down in the paddy field and never get up again, but when I think of two poor children, I can't even die!"

One year there was a great drought, and the old lady took her young children to irrigate the rice fields. She carried the barrel on her shoulder, and the two children also cooperated by shoulder-lifting and hand-carrying. After a few days of hard work by the whole family, and thanks to the help of many relatives and villagers, the paddy field finally rippled.

The old lady was satisfied, and also fertilized the paddy field. At night, she dragged her scattered body bones, hugged a pair of black and thin children, and slept beautifully. However, when she went to the paddy field the next morning, she was paralyzed - the water in the paddy field had disappeared and had already dried up. It turned out that there was a low-lying paddy field next to her paddy field, and I don't know whether the owner of the field intended or not, anyway, the water and fertilizer went into the other party's field. The old lady suddenly went crazy, and came up with a desperate posture to theorize with the other party, and after many mediations, it finally calmed down.

The old lady has been farming for many years, and the bitterness during this period is indescribable. But her affection for the field is extremely deep, and even the three Wang Linlin sisters and brothers have become farmers and participated in the field work.

Wang Yongqian used to work in a state-owned textile factory in a prefecture-level city. Due to his outstanding overall performance, the unit asked him to move his family's household registration to the urban area, but the old lady resolutely refused to allow it, thinking that there was no better place than his hometown!

Wang Yongqian, who was helpless, had no choice but to give up. A year later, he resolutely transferred back to work in the ancient city despite the retention of the city unit. After Liu Ying married him, she has been teaching in her hometown, during which she has many opportunities for job transfer or adjustment, but because of the old lady, she finally worked in her hometown until she retired.

Wang Linlin's parents are public officials, and when his sister Wang Yaqin was born, she became a commercial grain household according to the policy. But the old lady talked about the benefits of the countryside, and her father had to transfer her hukou to the countryside. Later, Wang Linlin and his younger brother Wang Bing went directly to the countryside and became authentic farmers. In 79, when the fields were divided into households, the old lady and Wang Linlin's siblings were assigned to the fields, so the three of them had to participate in the field work in addition to studying.

This life experience has benefited the three Wang Linlin siblings a lot. To this day, they are still grateful, thanking the old lady for providing them with a valuable experience in their lives.

4. House renovation

Before and after liberation, most of the rural areas were grass houses, with only very few tiled houses. The daily maintenance of the house is an important job. Whenever the rainy season comes or the rainstorm season, it often rains heavily outside, and the house leaks light rain; every house is full of large and small leakage appliances, and the sound of ticking is endless; and the ground is slippery, the situation is very similar to the ancient battle formation, and people can only move in small steps. As soon as the day cleared, the men consciously climbed onto the roof of the house to carry out repairs, but on the roof of the old lady's house, she was the only lonely figure.

One night, the wind was howling, the rain was pouring down, and the rain was leaking badly. Wang Linlin's young father and aunt were very frightened, and the old lady had to hug them, and they didn't dare to sleep. In the middle of the night, the rain was heavier and the wind was stronger, and the entire roof was torn off.

The old lady said: "The moment the roof was torn over, I changed my previous nervousness and became calm. Anyway, the whole family was exposed to the rain, and they couldn't sleep. So I found a corner to house the two children, and then simply climbed on the roof to repair it. "It turned out that the old lady had repaired the roof by herself before dawn.

An ordinary and respectable old lady, who never flinched in the face of difficulties and dangers, is also a heroine who dares to fight with the sky, the earth, and people!
