Chapter 50: Encounter

My father was kind, kind, helpful, hardworking and capable, but also stubborn and stubborn, straightforward in everything, and never gave up. He never wore buttons, but with a large belt, revealing his broad and great mind in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

He was in good health. However, he took on the heavy responsibility of supporting the whole family.

He has a mind to pursue ideals, unwilling to be subordinate, and perseverance.

All his life, he has been tired of his muscles and bones for his children, and he has shed all his efforts, but he never said that he was tired, and he raised several children with hard work and started a family.

Father was born in the dark old society, due to the early death of grandma, under the leadership of grandfather, at the age of fourteen, father can support a piece of the world, mother at the age of sixteen married to the Chen family, and father depended on each other, not afraid of poverty, hard work, hard work, thrifty, thrifty, a few acres of thin land, after liberation consciously put into the people's commune.

But the worldly prejudice caused my father to suffer more pain and suffering.

Whenever there is a work meeting, let the parents and the five types of molecules together. (Note: Landlords, kulaks, counter-revolutionaries, villains, and rightists are called five types of elements)

When it was divided, it was classified as a rich peasant, because at that time it did not understand the distinction between classes, and thought that all the components were people. So my father didn't care.

Later, my father saw that something was wrong, and he was listed on the rich side of the land, and he was determined to fight.

It was at the time of the meeting that the division of classes was carefully studied, and through study, my father mastered all the knowledge and basis for the division of components, and believed that although he had a few acres of thin land, he cultivated it all by himself, supported himself, and did not use long or short labor, and should not be classified as a rich peasant. Only those who have used long and short labor, who exploit the power of others, and who eat without labor, are considered rich peasants.

In order to take off the kulak hat, my father was not afraid of power, and he repeatedly reported his own mistakes, and was criticized and fought against for his dishonest attitude.

Although he was criticized, his beliefs remained unchanged, he fought on the basis of reason, insisted on holding meetings and working, and stood with the poor and middle peasants.

Later, under the wise guidance of the leaders of the Commune, he took off the kulak hat and was given a new life.

My father believed that there was no hypocrisy and obedience to the question of the line and class at that time. Otherwise, you will be saddled with the notoriety of five types of molecules for the rest of your life.

To this day, the family is still grateful to their father for bringing a new life to their offspring.

My father was kind and charitable all his life, helping the needy.

There is a blind couple in my village who come from a poor family and live on begging for food.

Two sons and two daughters were born in the midst of begging. Every time he came home begging for food, it was the father who gave relief, so that the children could save money, and also helped a blind couple to tide over the difficulties.

One night, the blind couple, dressed in stars and moons, starved, returned home from hundreds of miles to the south, and after a long journey and a cold wind, his wife was sick, and she was dying and in critical condition.

It was her father who helped her with the food rations that the children had saved from their mouths, and took out the only 10 yuan in the family to help her get medical treatment, saving her life.

The clothes worn by the children were left for them to keep warm when the blind couple brought their children home.

Fathers don't know how to be tired in their lives, and when they have a little time, they also have to take time out to help their children do things.

My eldest sister's house is three miles away from my house, and whenever the farm is busy, my father finishes their work in advance and then does his own work.

Once, the eldest sister went to her family's sorghum field to hoe, but found that more than 3 acres of sorghum land had been hoeed by others. And I haven't drunk a sip of cold water from my eldest sister's house.

The eldest sister was moved to tears, and when she met people, she said that she had a father, which was better than others!

The second sister's family is not wealthy, and when building the house, she can't even afford to use the Jian corner (when building the earthen wall, to prevent flooding, and the bricks used underneath are also foundation bricks).

It was her father who picked up bricks in the village, on the roadside, and in the deserted suburbs to send them to her family to lay the foundation.

I remember one time, when my father and I were delivering bricks to my second sister's house on a rack car, I tripped over the rope when the bridge was steep and the wheel ran over my calf, and I lay down for several days before I could go to school.

There are countless things that fathers work hard for their children, and they really pity the hearts of parents all over the world!

I have a cousin, because her parents died prematurely, no one to help her, her family is in a dilapidated situation, life is more difficult, in order to make a living, she learned to be a cannon, she is in her thirties, she is busy with work and taking care of the family at home, although we are a family of cannons, she has never done it herself.

In order to help my sister learn to make cannons as soon as possible and get out of poverty, my father took a break from his busy schedule and left his work at home, and went to her house many times at night to help cut paper, cut cannons, and load gunpowder......

My sister is also a reasonable, capable and virtuous person, a good godson, and a person who will repay her kindness. The children gradually grew up, became the pillars of society, and their lives became rich.

My father is very diligent and thrifty, and he does not smoke, drink, and eat less meat and more vegetables in his life. Three meals a day is considerable. Life is frugal, never extravagant and wasteful, and I hate to spend a penny in half.

All year round, never add new clothes to yourself, and so-called luxuries.

It wasn't until the children got married that his life changed.

After completing his mission, his elderly father also became open-minded and cheerful, never taking big and small things to heart, let alone taking matters seriously.

Fortunately, he married a pair of virtuous and filial daughters-in-law, never made his old man angry, and was considerate and caring for his father. The improvement of life is refined, so that my father feels fresh all year round.

The grandchildren are more filial, as long as they are at home, they talk to their grandfather and make them happy.

Since the two sons got married, the old people took turns to eat and live. The four daughters often come to ask for warmth, add clothes and send snacks, so that their father always has endless new clothes to wear and snacks. worked hard in the first half of his life, but in exchange for the blessing of old age.

As the saying goes: the son is filial to the father. It is the filial piety of the children that makes the father feel comfortable, and often laughs at life like the pot-bellied Maitreya Buddha.

Fathers often show off in front of others, and it is their children who add blessings to their longevity.

Accompanied by his children, his father did not leave any regrets during his lifetime, and at the age of ninety-eight, he drove a crane to the west and died.
