Chapter 3 Section 12 Mei Lian was moved by the life experience of the founding of the country
"We went back to the countryside, orphans and widows, and there was no labor, fortunately in Wujia Village, there was Jianguo's father's land at home, our mother and son survived by relying on the three acres of arable land, the bitterness in the middle, I just told you three days and three nights can not finish, in short, Jianguo is a strong and backbone child, when he was a child, he was always bullied, scolded for being a fatherless child, he took a big photo of his father and hung it at the gate of his house, and told everyone that his father was a big hero, It was to save the officials of the Communist Party who sacrificed, who laughed at him for being a child without a father, he would fight with whom, at first, he went home every day and other children were beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, it really made me anxious, I was afraid that he would be injured somewhere, and I was worried all day long, and later, the surrounding ten miles and eight villages knew the situation of our family, and everyone heard that Jianguo's father died to save people and also thought that he was a big hero, and he was the pride of Wujia Village, so the villagers gradually sympathized with our orphans and widows, When the spring ploughing and farming are busy, we will help our family plough the land when we see that our family does not have strong labor, and when the rice is harvested in the autumn, we will collectively go out to help our family to harvest, and we will send food to our mother and wife during the New Year's holidays, we will try to do what we can when we are not reciprocated, we will try to do what we can, when we are very young, we will help some old, weak, sick and disabled people carry water and chop firewood, and some children will skip school and not study well, and Jianguo will help the children make up for classes, take the children to go to school in the morning, and take them to help the family work in the afternoon, Since he was a child, he was a little adult, the children in the village liked to follow him, and the adults often praised him, he was really for me as a mother to earn face, with the children were concentrated in the Wu family ancestral hall to read and write, I also often washed and mended the children, and gradually our family became the center of Wujia Village, the children came to Jianguo to play as soon as they were free, and obeyed the arrangements of the founding of the country, the adults saw it in their eyes, and were happy in their hearts, and often praised him in front of me, saying that the children born to the hero's father were also as selfless as heroes. I really see it in my eyes and joy in my heart, and as the founding of the country becomes more and more sensible, I really have hope for life. When the founding of the People's Republic of China was 16 years old, the Kuomintang army came to conscription, there were more than a dozen boys in Wujia Village, but none of them were willing to sign up, and then they said that they would catch it if they didn't sign up, and whoever they caught was whoever they caught, anyway, someone in such a big Wujia Village must be a soldier, otherwise the whole village would have to be arrested and searched door to door, in this case, Jianguo and I said that in order to repay the villagers of Wujia Village for their care and help to our mother, he took the initiative to sign up, so as not to suffer the people of the whole village, I was reluctant, I also didn't agree with Jianguo to be a soldier as cannon fodder, but Jianguo knelt in front of me with both feet and begged me to let him go to be a soldier, he said that he was a man, he was the son of a hero, he couldn't be a bad seed, he couldn't dodge or dodge in case of trouble, he could only go head-on, so that he could not only relieve the difficulties of the whole village, but also find a way out for himself, he wanted to avenge his father and kill the Japanese devils. Looking at Jianguo, who grew up to be more and more like his father's character, I knew that there was no turning back on the things he decided, even nine cows couldn't pull it back, there was no way, so I had to follow his heart and send him to be a soldier with tears. On the day I left, I took him to his father's grave and asked him to swear in front of him and me that he would come back alive, and he agreed, and vowed to avenge his father and set out on the journey. My old bones from now on is every day to look forward to the month and the moon, looking forward to his early return home, he has not heard from him for more than ten years, the whole village said that he has no one there, I cried for more than ten years, and then suddenly saw him return home lively, my heart is really happy, finally I did not live up to the founding of the country and his father, raised his son to adulthood, and then to Jiuquan to explain to him, it doesn't matter whether Jianguo is an official or not, as long as his people stand in front of me well, I will be satisfied, I haven't come to the world in vain in this life. ”
The old lady of the Wu family will cry for a while and laugh about the past, Meilian followed the old lady and kept wiping her tears, her heart was undulating like a sea and a river, not only for the old lady's fate, but also for the courage of the founding of the country, she was white about how to be the daughter-in-law of the Wu family in the future.
