Chapter 31: The Martyr's Mother

"This Mrs. Liu is over 90 years old, his eldest son died in the Anti-Emperor 38 War, and the second son died in the counterattack war, he is a lonely old man, our township government received a direct order from the Municipal Armed Forces Department and the municipal government to give preferential treatment to the martyr's mother, so her life has been the responsibility of our township government all these years, but I really don't know that the two martyrs are buried here." Zhou Xiannian told everything he knew.

Shen Congyun glanced at Wang Youliang and said softly: "Isn't there a martyr's cemetery over there in Dawu Township?" How the martyrs were not arranged there. ”

"Township Chief Shen, you don't know this, the old lady's husband died very early, and then buried here, after the body of the eldest son was transported back, the commune attached great importance to it, and was ready to place the martyr's body in the martyr's cemetery, and had communicated with the Martyrs' Cemetery Management Committee over there in Dawu Township, but the old lady disagreed, feeling that she was old and it was inconvenient to move around, and it was too difficult to go to see the eldest son. Then the body of the martyr was buried here, her second son was about to be discharged from the army, the counterattack broke out, went to the battlefield, and came back with a corpse, the old lady still had the same requirements as before, and it was also arranged here, but, Township Chief Shen, Secretary Zhou, don't worry, I am doing the old lady's ideological work now, and she is not so resolute, just afraid of disturbing his wife and children. Wang Youliang said in a heavy tone.

After listening to Wang Youliang's words, Shen Congyun's heart was very touched, the calm and peaceful life they have now was all bought by the ancestors and martyrs with their blood and lives.

Shen Congyun said softly: "Secretary Zhou, let's go see this old lady together." ”

Zhou Xiannian nodded, and said to Wang Youliang: "Wang Zhishu, you can take us on a trip, speaking of which, it is also a dereliction of duty in my work, and I have not been to see our martyr's mother."

Wang Youliang nodded, and led the way to Mrs. Liu's house, what surprised Shen Congyun was that the place where Mrs. Liu lived was still very good, four brick houses, when Shen Congyun, Zhou Xiannian and others came, they were watching the old lady sitting outside basking in the sun.

In addition to him, the old lady now has a grandson and his daughter-in-law in addition to him.

Wang Youliang walked forward with the two of them, and the old lady also opened her eyes in a daze, and after seeing Wang Youliang, her voice trembled a little and said: "Youliang, didn't you say that you don't bother me, what, why are you here again." “

"Third grandma, the leaders of our township government have come to see you, and I am here to show them the way." According to the seniority in the village, Wang Youliang wants to call Mrs. Liu the third grandmother.

The old lady glanced at Shen Congyun and Zhou Xiannian behind Wang Youliang, and shouted to the house: "Xiaoying, take a few stools, let's have the leader again." ”

Xiaoying is the old lady's granddaughter-in-law, dressed very plainly, after hearing the old lady's words, Xiaoying went out and saw Shen Congyun and a few people, and took three small stools out of the hall.

"Come, leaders, sit down."

After Shen Congyun took the stool, he said thank you.

The three of them sat around Mrs. Liu, and Zhou Xiannian spoke first: "Old lady, I am the deputy secretary of our township party committee, and I came to see you." ”

"Look at me, don't you just want to remove my son's grave? That's so nice. Although the old lady was old, her voice was still full of energy, and these words made Zhou Xiannian's face blush.

"Old lady, we are not here to move the grave, but to see you, your sons are heroes of the country, and you are also the heroes of our Huji, we are here this time, just to ask, how are you doing recently." Shen Congyun opened his mouth and said, now that the site has been decided, and Chen Wow No. 2 Middle School has begun the initial construction, now change places, the loss is very large, but Shen Congyun thinks that if this poor old man insists on not agreeing to move the grave, the township government can retreat, even if it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, it cannot hurt the hearts of the martyrs' families, so Shen Congyun came this time, and he didn't want to talk about moving the grave at all.

"I'm fine, I still have to watch the graves of my wife and son." The old lady's tone was still very bad.

The granddaughter-in-law, who had been standing aside, saw that her grandmother didn't give face to these leaders, squatted beside her grandmother, and said, "Grandma, these leaders are all here to see you, and they are guests when they enter the door, so we can't be without courtesy." ”

The old lady glanced at her daughter-in-law Sun, then at Shen Congyun and the others, snorted coldly, and twisted her head to the side, it seemed that she didn't want to speak and was angry.

"Comrade, what about the old lady's grandson?" Shen Congyun asked softly.

"Jin Lei went to work in the second middle school. Are you Township Chief Shen? After answering Shen Congyun's question, Daughter-in-law Sun asked instead.

"Yes, I am."

"I've heard it all here, it's the money you asked for in the county, and you want to build a school for us, and when the time comes, it will be much more convenient for our children to go to school." Grandma's daughter-in-law said with a smile, and then said to her grandmother: "Grandma, this is what Jin Lei told you, a leader with special ability, the money he asked for in the county will give us Chen Wagai Middle School, as well as primary school, when the time comes, your great-grandson will be able to go to school at the door of his home." “

After listening to her daughter-in-law's words, the old lady became interested, glanced at Shen Congyun and shook her head: "He's not, how can there be such a young leader." “

"It's him, everyone says that our township chief is from Jinghua, and he looks very young." The granddaughter-in-law explained to her grandmother.

"You are Township Chief Shen, do you want to give us Chen Wa a school?"

"Old lady, it's not me who built the school, here Secretary Zhou and Secretary Wang are responsible." Shen Congyun said with a smile.

The old lady's attitude was a little better, and she said sadly: "Township Chief Shen, I understand what Youliang came to tell me, I know that I want to build a school on that land for the benefit of the children, but my wife is just reluctant." ”

"Old lady, don't worry, if you don't want to, no one dares to touch your son's grave, let's go back this time, reconvene the meeting, and find a site, no matter what, our township government will definitely consider your ideas." Shen Congyun said what was in his heart.

After listening to this, Wang Youliang called out to Township Chief Shen softly, and Shen Congyun glanced at Wang Youliang and didn't say anything.

Zhou Xiannian listened to Shen Congyun's words on the side, and had nothing to say, if Mrs. Liu disagreed, who could say anything, it was better to change the location early, and reduce the waste of human and financial resources.

I hope you have a recommendation vote and give a recommendation vote
