Mother-in-law is indeed not an ordinary rural woman, she was born in a poor family, her real name is Lan Cuiying, she has suffered the pain of binding her feet since she was a child, she came to the Yu family as a child daughter-in-law when she was very young, she was called Yu Lan, she grew up and gave birth to two daughters in a row, her mother-in-law's face was very bad-looking, and she finally gave birth to her son Yu Chenghui, and she had a little status in the family, she didn't think that when her son was three years old, the man went to be a soldier, and the in-laws regarded her son as a treasure, which caused the jealousy of the man's brothers, after the death of the in-laws, the family was separated, and the orphans and widows had nothing, She was born a strong person, and she endured hardships to raise three children.
After the liberation, the poor turned over to be the master, during the land reform, the government working group entered the village, preached the party's principles and policies, organized everyone to study, Lan Cuiying saw hope, actively participated, spoke enthusiastically, crying about the suffering of the people in the old society who were exploited and oppressed, the female cadres of the working group appreciated her consciousness and her courage, helped her cultivate her from all aspects, taught her to read and culture, and talked about outside things, Lan Cuiying was smart and perceptive, and made progress very quickly, with the help of female cadres, she submitted an application for joining the party and became a glorious party member, When the female cadre left, she recommended Granny Lan to succeed her as the women's director of the village.
At that time, she often went to Fuyang County with the male cadres in the village to hold meetings and study, and the male comrades all walked, because she was bound to her feet, and the organization arranged for her to take a ride, and she also went to the provincial capital Chengdu.
Lan Cuiying can say that no matter how difficult the dispute is, she can convince both parties, especially if the female comrades in the village are bullied, she not only makes decisions for them, but also teaches the male comrades who love to beat and scold people so that they dare not commit it again.
Lan Cuiying knew a few words, but she couldn't write them except for her own name, but she was talking in a meeting or something, and she didn't need to prepare at all.
The schools in various villages of the riverside commune and the riverside middle school all asked her to make a report when they had a bittersweet meeting, and she sat on the stage without stage fright, talking about the bitter and bitter hatred of the past, and tears broke down in tears, which moved the teachers and classmates to tears.
The teacher used her narration to give the students a proposition: listen to Mother Lan's bittersweet memories. Write an essay, pick out the better ones to read to her, and let her give her an award.
Because it was becoming more and more inconvenient for her to walk on her feet, and it was inconvenient to go out for meetings or something, she resigned from the post of village women's director two years ago and recommended a literate female comrade to take up the post.
Lan Cuiying talked about her experiences, her face was full of pride and pride, and the wrinkles on her face were one after another when she smiled.
Who said it wasn't, Ma Yuping was deeply moved, admired Lan Cuiying, and was ashamed of himself. If the mother-in-law is educated, it should be even more remarkable.
Ma Yuping looked at her mother-in-law again and felt that she was very good-looking, she was absolutely beautiful when she was young, and now her skin is very white.
While talking, Yu Chenghui came out of the house and walked out of the courtyard quickly, only to hear him shouting outside at the top of his voice: "Three groups, get up and go to work." ”
Ma Yuping praised: "Mother-in-law, your son is very capable. ”
The mother-in-law's head shook like a rattle: "No, no, no, my two daughters are much smarter than him, others are honest, and everything needs my heart." ”
Yu's wife came out, pulled up the two braids on her back and tied them behind her head as she walked, greeted Ma Yuping, and went to work, and then, Hao Jianjun also came out of the house with a yawn, he stretched his waist and walked up: "Mom, I'm at work." ”
Ma Yuping watched Hao Jianjun go away, and felt distressed again, his eyes were withdrawn, Lan Cuiying smiled at her, Ma Yuping thought that with his mother-in-law's shrewdness, he must have seen his own thoughts, and he didn't feel a little ashamed.
Lan Cuiying: "Jianjun's mother, let's go and see where Jianjun lives." ”
This is what Ma Yuping wants to know, she got up and walked into the room on the left side of the hall with her mother-in-law, it was so big, there were two big beds and a lot of space, bigger than their house, and there were windows open in front of the courtyard.
The mother-in-law said: "Jianjun sleeps in one bed, and the two younger brothers sleep in one bed, and when there is thunder and heavy rain, they are afraid, and Chenghui will come over to accompany them." ”
Ma Yuping came in and saw Hao Jianjun's clothes, the bed was relatively neatly packed, and there were a few books on the bed, Ma Yuping was illiterate, and he didn't care about what books his son read.
The mother-in-law asked Ma Yuping to go to the right, which was as big as the one on the left, and it also had two beds, and it was not difficult to guess that it was the house where her son, daughter-in-law and two daughters lived.
Ma Yuping couldn't help asking, "Mother-in-law, where do you live?" ”
Mother-in-law came out, came into a side room on the left, only the two rooms just now were not half big, and there was a big smell of something, out of Ma Yuping only to know that the next door was a pigsty and a toilet, she was very upset, and said: "Mother-in-law, let Jianjun live in this room." ”
Mother-in-law: "The smell is big, I'm used to not feeling the smell anymore, and besides, I'm old and easy to wake up, in case there's any movement outside, I know it." ”
The mother-in-law also took Ma Yuping to see the stove room, as well as the fruits and vegetables planted in front of the house and behind the house, and after returning to the courtyard and sitting down under the shade of the tree, the mother-in-law asked: "Jianjun's mother, Jianjun lives in my house, don't worry." ”
Ma Yuping suddenly realized, it turned out that her mother-in-law asked her to visit because she was afraid that she would worry, and her little heart had already been seen through by Granny Lan's sharp eyes.
Ma Yuping was grateful: "Mother-in-law, I really don't know how to thank you, you are so old, and you cook for Jianjun to eat, and you think very well for us." ”
Mother-in-law: "If I can't do it in the field, I can do some housework and do some side jobs by the way." ”
