Chapter 105: Begonia Blossoms (2)

Zhou Xiangyu also used his personality charm to deeply influence the beliefs and souls of Fengtian and many people at that time, just as Fengtian said.

Zhou Xiangyu was honest and honest, strict with himself, and after the founding of New China, he always maintained the style of hardship, simplicity, and frugality during the war years, and many of his stories are still widely circulated and unforgettable.

Zhou Xiangyu is a person who is particularly able to endure hardships, and he suffers not for himself, but for the people.

In the spring of 1934, the consolidation and development of the Central Soviet District made the Guo Min Dang reactionaries restless. As a result, while constantly stepping up the military "encirclement and suppression" of the central Soviet region, Guo Min Dang also strengthened the economic blockade of the central Soviet region, causing the difficulty of the extreme shortage of salt in the Soviet area.

Yang Ju, commander of an independent battalion of a certain unit of the Red Army, was transferred from the front line to study at the Red Army University. Before joining the army, he was the head of the Military Department of the Soviet Government in Xiaxiao District, and he was very familiar with Mrs. Zhou Xiangyu, and he was no stranger to Zhou Xiangyu. When Mrs. Zhou Xiangyu learned that he was back, she invited him to her home for dinner, and by the way, she learned about the situation at the front.

Yang Ju happily went to Zhou Xiangyu to be a guest, but he didn't expect that Zhou Xiangyu, who was in a high position in Zhong Yang Ling Dao, only had a bowl of April plums with a little chili, a bowl of sauerkraut, and two baskets of rice on the dinner table.

Yang Ju thought to himself: "If I eat Zhou Xiangyu's food, will they be hungry?" When he felt cramped and uneasy, Zhou Xiangyu had already served him food and vegetables. Yang Ju had no choice but to eat it, but he couldn't help frowning after taking a bite of the dish, the dish didn't have a bit of salt at all.

This change in Yang Ju's expression was discovered by the careful Zhou Xiangyu, and Zhou Xiangyu hurriedly smiled and said, "Hehe~ I forgot, I forgot." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Xiangyu poured out a small half bowl of salted water from a bamboo tube and asked Yang Ju to dip the vegetables in salted water, but he himself was still willing to eat the saltless meal. Zhou Xiangyu's wife {hereinafter referred to as Mrs. Zhou} watched from the sidelines, just saying that this is a temporary difficulty, wait until our revolution is victorious! The days are much better.

Yang Ju couldn't help but say to Zhou Xiangyu: "You guys are too bitter, even more bitter than the soldiers in front of us!" ”

Zhou Xiangyu said as if it was okay to hear it: "Can you still endure hardships when you do revolution?" If we endure hardships now, the people will not have to endure hardships in the future. Then he asked Yang Ju about the supply of grain and salt in front of him.

Yang Ju replied: "The supply of food and salt at the front is better than that at the rear, because there is support from the rear, and sometimes it can be captured directly from the enemy. ”

After Zhou Xiangyu heard this, he said again and again: "That's good, that's good." The enemy has stretched out two hands, and we must also stretch out two hands, one hand to smash their military "encirclement and suppression" and the other hand to smash their economic blockade. ”

Yang Ju listened to the blood boiling, stood up and said, "Yes!" I listen to you. ”

Later, in addition to studying at the Red Army University, Yang Yanju also made great efforts to boil nitrate for the local people.

Zhou Xiangyu is a person who loves the motherland very much, and it can be seen from his dress, simple and unpretentious.

It was after Dung Zhong Yang entered Beijing, in order to meet foreign guests and attend meetings, Zhou Xiangyu went to make clothes for the first time and chose the Beijing "Red Capital" clothing store. The staff said: "This is a clothing store that is famous all over the country. ”

Zhou Xiangyu replied with a smile: "I just came here." ”

Faced with various foreign fabrics such as British woolen materials and Australian woolen materials introduced by the staff, Zhou Xiangyu shook his head and said: "I want Chinese materials, and no matter whether the wool fabric is domestic, it must be domestic." ”

This time he made a blue wool tunic suit, a blue khaki jacket and a gray muslin tunic. These garments were worn until 1963 and were always neat and structured. The clothes are still neat and crisp after 10 years of wearing, and there is certainly a mystery to them.

Zhou Xiangyu has two sleeves, which must be put on his arms when working, so as to protect his elbows from wearing out too quickly. However, Zhou Xiangyu worked for seventeen or eighteen hours a day, and it was still worn out for a long time, so he sent it to the "red capital" to ask the tailor to weave and repair, and it was used for many years.

Although the clothes are old, when the clothes are ironed at the reception, they are still neat and crisp, and his chic and generous appearance and demeanor do not damage the demeanor of the prime minister of a big country in the slightest.

Zhou Xiangyu is a person who is sympathetic to the people's feelings and is willing to endure hardships with the people. He opposed image projects and strictly controlled the construction of buildings and halls.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, some localities and departments wanted to build large buildings, halls, and halls, but Zhou Xiangyu always delayed in approving this. He often said to his secretaries, "If you want me to approve it, it's easy to sign it." But this is the country's funds, the people's blood and sweat, I am lifting a thousand pounds! ”

In June 1962, Zhou Xiangyu went to a certain city to inspect, when a new hotel had just been built in a certain city, and the local person in charge was ready to let Zhou Xiangyu live there, but Zhou Xiangyu resolutely did not stay when he went to the hotel. Zhou Xiangyu said: "Why is the hotel built so well? You know, there are many places in the country that are still relatively difficult, and I can't live here! ”

During the inspection, Zhou Xiangyu found that the city was still building a new auditorium, and there were many places in which the appearance of the Ren Minhui Tang column-style building was imitated, so Zhou Xiangyu immediately said: "What? You've moved Ren Minhui Tang here! Then he immediately instructed: "This auditorium cannot be used!" ”

Zhou Xiangyu is honest and honest, and even his own residence is very simple.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhou Xiangyu has been working and living in the West Flower Hall of Zhong Nanhai. This is an old house, old, dark, damp, in the summer on the green brick floor often flooded with a layer of white alkali flowers, which will undoubtedly damage Zhou Xiangyu's health, for which the relevant departments have repeatedly proposed repairs, but he refused.

Once, the secretary suggested to Zhou Xiangyu to repair the West Flower Hall in the name of repairing and protecting cultural relics, and this time Zhou Xiangyu finally relented, but made it clear that "where it is broken, where it is repaired, it must not be extravagant and wasteful."

Soon, Zhou Xiangyu went out to inspect, and the secretary took this opportunity to instruct the maintenance workers to lay the floor on the damp green bricks, remove the moldy old carpet and replace it with new ones, seal the leaky windows, hang relatively thick new curtains, and bring two sofas, and repaint the beams at the same time. After that, the secretary settled the accounts and felt that it should meet Zhou Xiangyu's requirements of "trying to save as much as possible".

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhou Xiangyu came back, he noticed these changes, and he stood at the door and asked angrily: "Why are you so extravagant!" Who told you to buy these things? ”

The secretary hurriedly reviewed: "Prime Minister, I was wrong...... Let's go live and rest......"

Zhou Xiangyu asked angrily: "I'll go back to the house and accept your fait accompli?" Then he stretched out his hand and pointed into the house and said, "Remove all those things, or I won't come in!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

Seeing this, the others hurriedly chased after him to persuade him, only to hear him shout: "I won't enter, that's not my home!" Later, at Zhou Xiangyu's insistence, the staff removed all the carpets, sofas, curtains and other things that could be removed from the West Flower Hall to restore the original appearance, and Zhou Xiangyu returned to the West Flower Hall.

For this matter, he also reviewed himself many times at the Guoyuan office meeting, and taught his secretary: "As the prime minister, I will take a good head and influence a large area; With a bad head, it will also affect a large area. You spent so much money to make my house so good...... How can we continue to develop in this way? ”

Zhou Xiangyu mostly postponed or paid according to the market price for gifts from his subordinates.

On one occasion, because he missed his old leader Zhou Xiangyu, the deputy commander of a certain military region asked someone to send a basket of oranges from Fujian, and asked the prime minister to try it. After knowing this, Zhou Xiangyu immediately said: "I don't want it!" Everyone felt that this was a bit unreasonable, so they persuaded him: "Since it has been delivered, it cannot be sent back." Zhou Xiangyu thought about it and asked how much a basket of oranges was, and after learning that it was 25 yuan a basket, he immediately instructed his secretary to send 50 yuan to the deputy commander of a certain military region.

It is understood that Zhou Xiangyu often receives some local products from his old subordinates, for which he refuses to resign, and what he can't push away is always paid at the market price, but this time it is more than doubled, and the staff around him are puzzled, so Zhou Xiangyu explained: "If I pay more, he will not send it again in the future." Sure enough, since then, the deputy commander of a military region has never sent anything to Zhou Xiangyu again.
