There is a Yang Guantun in Juye, the ancestors of the Yang family settled here first, and the Lu family arrived later, Ding Wang. When the team was divided, there was a squad surnamed Yang and seven squads surnamed Lu.

Lu Yunlian's grandmother has two children, and after her aunt got married, she had a hard time at her in-law's house, jumped into the pit and died, leaving her father behind.

The family is looking forward to the mother giving birth to a boy, and the mother has a daughter one after another.

Yunlian is the fourth girl, born in 1942, and the fifth is still a daughter.

There is a saying in this place, no full moon and no quilt. The mother was angry with herself, she felt that she couldn't live with her father, and she didn't live as a confinement child, she did all the work, and she dried her quilt all day long, and she died of postpartum wind. At that time, Yunlian was only two birthdays, and the fifth sister didn't live for a few days and died.

It didn't take long for my father to marry my stepmother, who was sixteen years younger than my father and two years older than my eldest sister.

At first, the four sisters listened to the words of the stepmother, and after a long time, the eldest sister and the stepmother always quarreled, and the trouble was very much, and the grandmother couldn't help it, saying who didn't listen, and the grandmother said: "Si Nier, go to find you Dada (note: father)." ”

As soon as Dad entered the house, no one dared to say anything, and the house was quiet.

When she was a child, Yunlian didn't like to go to her relatives the most.

Grandma often took her back to her parents' house, grandma had no daughter, she didn't dare to cry at home, and when she saw those old sisters, grandma said to cry once. When my aunt was gone, Yunlian didn't remember, and she cried when her grandmother cried.

The eldest sister sometimes takes her to her grandmother's house, and the grandmother originally had four daughters and a son, and the four daughters are gone, the grandmother cries, the eldest sister cries, and she also cries.

The stepmother went back to her parents' house and was willing to take her, but the stepmother's house had nothing, and the wall was low, so she climbed the wall to play. The grandfather of the queen mother saw it and shouted: "Come down, don't stone you to death!" She didn't know that the wall was going to fall, so she thought that her grandfather yelled at her, and she was no longer willing to follow her relatives.

Yunlian was raised by her grandmother and sister Raba, and her grandmother died when she was eight years old.

When she was eleven years old, her parents discussed letting her go to school. After graduating from primary school, she went to junior high school in Xiaguantun.

In 1958, when she was in her first year of junior high school, her grandfather went to the school to find Yunlian and said, "Your eldest sister brought her back from the city, but it's no longer good." ”

The eldest sister's in-laws are in Da Yao Village, and when Yun Lian went, the eldest sister couldn't speak.

Seven or eight days later, the eldest sister died.

The brother-in-law missed the eldest sister, and it didn't take long for her to die. Leaving behind a boy and two girls, the grandmother's family raised a boy and a second daughter, and the grandmother's family raised the daughter.

The stepmother brought her six-year-old niece and Raba to her to get married.

Xia Guantun had a meeting, she went to the meeting with her classmates, and there were people who played on Daoshan and sold tickets. The classmate has money in his pocket and buys a ticket to go in, but Yunlian has no money to buy a ticket and wants to go in.

The gatekeeper stopped her and shouted, "You don't have a ticket, you can't enter!" ”

The teenage girl asked the family to stop her, and she turned around and ran. After that, there were fewer and fewer words.

Yunlian loves to sing and has a good voice, and her relatives all said: "Si Nier sings evil (note: very) like!" The classmate also said: "Lu Yunlian sings well!" ”

Teachers often write two sentences at the end of the semester: "Advantages: hobby of cultural and sports activities; Cons: Withdrawn personality. ”

She asked the teacher, "What do you mean by being 'withdrawn'?" ”

The teacher said, "I just don't like to talk." ”

That's when she understood.

In the second year of junior high school, she didn't have cotton shoes to wear, and she didn't know how to protect her feet, and her feet were frozen and rotten.

One day, Teacher Shao saw it and asked her, "Why are you walking lame?" ”

Yun Lian said, "My feet hurt. ”

Teacher Shao said, "Take off your socks and I'll take a look." ”

Yun Lian took off her socks, and there were chilblains on both feet, and her heels were cracked with blood more than an inch long.

Teacher Shao asked the room to boil hot water and let Yunlian soak her feet.

This time the bubble was broken, the legs and feet were swollen, a red line was red from the feet to the thighs, and there was a big pimple on the thighs.

Teacher Shao was terrified.

The next day, I borrowed a ground row car, pulled by two male classmates, and they went to the county hospital together.

The doctor said, "This bag at the base of the thigh can only be healed when pus comes out." ”

Teachers and classmates sent her home, and ten days later, pus appeared at the base of her thigh, and three holes were leaking out.

The stepmother called the sister-in-law of the near door, squeezed the pus out of her, took it with a black partridge head bowl, and took half a bowl, she didn't get out of bed for a month (note: about a month).

Brother Jinmenzi went to Waizhuang to buy medicine, and her sister-in-law gave her three medicine twists in the eyes of the three holes. After another moon, she got out of bed.

After delaying school for two months, her grandfather pushed her to school in a little red car, and she was lame for more than a year.

One of my classmates said, "I thought you had to fall into trouble and be lame." ”

Everyone laughed.

In 1960, when Yunlian was nineteen years old, the second uncle of her own family, who was working in the house, told her: "I will send you a letter at home and let you go home." ”

She asked, "What's the matter?" She was afraid that her family would not let her go to school.

The second uncle saw that she was scared, so he said: "I will introduce you to the object, a Zhuang, our family is in the tenth team, his family is in the second team, he is a soldier and went to military school, and his father is a cadre of the brigade." You will meet when you meet, and you will succeed, but you will not disperse. ”

The two of them met, and they both fell in love. Yang Zhongqiu was tall and square-looking, and he was studying at the Xuzhou Tank Military Academy at that time. He was accurate and participated in the big competitions in the army.

After graduating from junior high school in 1961, Yunlian was admitted to Juye Normal School.

During the summer vacation, I came back to visit relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The introducer said, "You two will go to the city tomorrow to listen to the play." ”

Yun Lian said, "Medium." ”

The next day was August 1st, and in the morning I rode a bicycle to the Mid-Autumn Festival and took Yunlian to Juye County to watch a movie.

When I came back, the Mid-Autumn Festival said: "Let's go to Xiaguantun Township." ”

Yun Lian said, "Medium." ”

When I arrived at the door of the township, Mid-Autumn Festival said: "You wait for me here for a while, and I'll go in to see if anyone is there." ”

Yang Zhongqiu and Lu Yunlian took a group photo in Jinhua, Zhejiang during the Spring Festival in 1962. Provided by Lu Yunlian.

In the 60s of the 20th century, after graduating from normal school, Lv Yunlian (first from left), as the backbone of Juye County's literature and art, participated in the Heze area literary and artistic performance, and participated in the "Production Chorus - Come in February" program with singing and dancing. This photo is a group photo of Lu Yunlian and the sisters on the same stage who performed the show. Provided by Lu Yunlian.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival, he secretly got the marriage certificate and took Yunlian home.

There were many people inside and outside the Yang family, all of them were smiling, and Yunlian didn't know what was going on.

When I entered the courtyard, everyone was ready for everything, cigarettes, sugar, the housekeeper, and the statue of Chairman Mao. After a few shouts from the steward, the Mid-Autumn Festival pulled her to bow three times in front of the statue of Chairman Mao and got married.

After getting married, Yunlian went to Juye Normal School, where she was the Minister of Literature and Art and the Minister of Sports of the Student Union. After graduating, she was assigned to the county experimental primary school, and she didn't attend classes, either to participate in rehearsals or performances. In the later period, Yunlian returned to school, stayed in Zhangsui and Liuying, and finally returned to Yangguantun to settle down, teaching music, and also teaching mathematics and Chinese.

Lu Yunlian's father and stepmother took a group photo. Photo taken in 1994. Provided by Lu Yunlian.

After graduating from the military academy in the Mid-Autumn Festival, he returned to the army, and he was not used to seeing the place, but the leaders did not want to see him, and after seven or eight years of marriage, he was demobilized and returned home, and worked as a production captain in the countryside for two years. Of the 410,000 people who have been re-indeg, there are always people who have come to Beijing to petition. Two years later, the state gave him a job, and the county placed the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Highway Bureau, where he worked until he retired.

Yunlian has three sons and a daughter, the daughter died at the age of fifteen, and she was sick for two years. Since then, I have never taught music or sung.

In 2000, Yun Lian's father died and lived to be 87 years old.

The stepmother is eighty-nine years old this year, and she can take care of herself, but she can't remember taking medicine, Yunlian wrapped the medicine for her, the morning one in one piece, and the afternoon in one piece. They are all in Yangguantun, and the former stepmother is willing to live in her own house, she sends the food over, and then takes her to her house when the weather is cold. I couldn't live by myself in the past two years, so she took her stepmother to live with her.

The stepmother has a good heart, although she has not given birth in this life, she has brought up several grandsons and granddaughters, and these children often come back to see their grandmother.

Yunlian sisters are four, and now she is left alone, she said to me: "Now I am the closest person to my mother, and I should take care of her." ”

She is a mother, and she is very close, if someone hadn't told me, I would have thought they were my mother and son.
