Zheng Zhendong rode a bicycle, his sister sat on the beam in front, and Zheng's mother was carried in the back, and walked towards the courtyard.

On the way, Zheng Zhendong suddenly thought that his eldest brother had been hospitalized for so long, why didn't the armed forces department and the street come to visit him, thinking of this, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help asking.

"Mom, you said that my eldest brother was injured, why didn't the people from the sub-district office and the armed forces department come to visit my eldest brother's injury?"

Mother Zheng sat in the back seat and said unhurriedly.

"I really can't blame them for this, our family's situation is a bit special, and it's understandable that they don't come!"

Without waiting for Zheng Zhendong to ask, Zheng's mother explained.

"Third child, I'll tell you about the situation in our family, and I also listen to you and your grandmother about these things.

This matter has been talked about for a long time, and it has to start from the winter of the 32nd year of Guangxu at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

That year, the floods in southern Jiangsu were serious, and it was difficult for the people to live.

Your grandfather was young and strong at that time, and he was left alone in the family, because of the lack of land and the disaster year, he could not eat enough, so he went to the nearby landlord's house and worked part-time to support himself.

Speaking of this, it's really a coincidence, this landlord is your grandmother's father, your maternal great-grandfather's family.

As the saying goes, hunger and cold steal hearts, wealth knows etiquette, and in the year of the catastrophe, the common people can't live anymore, how can they manage so much.

Your grandmother and your maternal great-grandmother, the two of them went to the temple to burn incense and make vows, and met bandits who robbed the road halfway.

Your grandmother and your maternal great-grandmother were kidnapped by bandits, and then they sent a message to your great-grandfather asking for food as ransom.

Although you are reluctant to increase your grandfather, it is your wife and daughter who are tied up after all, and you still take out the food.

But the nurses and elders at home didn't dare to pay the ransom with your maternal great-grandfather, and finally your grandfather stood up.

In this way, the two of them drove the carriage and pulled the grain to the place agreed by the bandits, waiting for the ransom.

These heavenly bandits, seeing that the grain is not trustworthy, insist that the grain is the price of ransom for a person.

In the end, only your maternal great-grandmother was released, leaving your grandmother to continue to be a meat ticket.

Your maternal great-grandfather begged for a long time, but the kidnappers were stunned and did not agree, and in the end the three had no choice but to go back.

Halfway through, your grandfather didn't know what was going on, but suddenly turned back and found the kidnapper's lair.

Taking advantage of the kidnappers' inattention, they rescued your grandmother in the middle of the night and found a safe place.

Let your grandma hide first, and go back to the kidnapper's lair yourself.

Your grandfather set a fire and burned the kidnappers' lair and the food he had just gotten, and then he went back and took your grandmother home.

After this incident, your grandmother and your grandfather also have feelings, but unfortunately the identity gap can only be sneaky with each other.

Later, for some reason, let your grandfather know, beat your grandfather, kicked him out of the house, and locked your grandmother in the boudoir.

Your grandmother went on a hunger strike for a few days because of this, and your maternal great-grandmother felt sorry for her and released her.

Your grandmother left the house and found your grandfather wandering nearby, and the two discussed how to elope.

The next day, your grandmother took dry food and private money and joined your grandfather, and the two went all the way west, and finally settled in Huang'an.

After staying, the two soon got married, and gave birth to your father the next year, and later gave birth to your second uncle and third uncle.

If the days are like this, it's good to live ordinarily, but that world, hey! ”

Mother Zheng sighed as she spoke, and became silent.

Zheng Zhendong, who was pedaling, was listening to it, and Zheng's mother suddenly stopped talking, and hurriedly asked him, who was in a hurry.

"Mom, what happened later, what happened later? You suddenly stopped talking, this is not deliberately to hang my appetite! ”

When Zheng's mother heard this, she first glanced at Zheng Zhendong, and then thought that Zheng Zhendong was riding in front of her and couldn't see it at all, so she scolded with a smile.

"Hey, you little bunny, what's the hurry? I'll have to take a breather!

Okay, okay, don't rush, I'll continue!

It is said that back then it was not as good as now, after your grandparents fled to Huang'an, they first relied on your grandmother's private money to live.

But how much money can there be, and in desperation, your grandfather has no choice but to look for work everywhere.

But your grandfather turned out to be a rural farmer, in addition to farming, he also had the strength to carry a big one!

How much money can you make by working hard? What's more, at that time, your grandmother was pregnant with your father again, and life was even more panicked.

Later, your grandfather saved some money, bought two acres of land, and began to become a farmer again.

In this way, your grandparents have lived a stable life for more than ten years.

Then it was the 15th year of the Republic of China, when your father was 17 years old, studied for a few years, and knew a few friends.

One of them is Liu Songqing, a native of Luojiatian Village, Bali District, Huang'an County, and this guy was the chairman of the District Agricultural Association at the time.

Liu Songqing is three years older than your father, and often comes to your father to talk about the agricultural cooperative.

Your father was not very interested at the time, but your grandfather was very interested, after all, he has been a farmer for half his life, which is understandable.

Later, your grandfather joined the peasant self-defense army, and later participated in the Jute Uprising.

In this way, your grandfather took his family to follow the team and went all the way to the war, and even joined our party during the period.

Under the influence of your grandfather, your father also joined the team,

After all, your father has read books for a few days, and with the courage of battle, when he arrives, he is like a tiger descending from a mountain, and this is how the nickname Zheng Laohu came.

Soon your father was promoted, and in the 34th year of the Republic of China, he became the head of the regiment.

Speaking of this, Zheng's mother leaked a sweet smile and recalled many past events, as if the happiness of this life bloomed at this moment.

Because of the lesson of the last time, Zheng Zhendong did not interrupt Zheng's mother's memories this time, and also made this woman who had worked hard for half her life shed tears of happiness.

……

Until Zheng Zhendong parked the car at the entrance of the hospital, Zheng's mother was still stuck in memories and couldn't extricate herself.

Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but look back, looking at Zheng's mother's eyes, there were tears slipping down, but the sweet smile on her face couldn't be faked.

This time, Zheng Zhendong and his sister Zheng Xinyi were stunned, and said in their hearts What is the situation, the brother and sister have never seen Zheng's mother have such a time.

Seeing that her sister Zheng Xinyi was about to open her mouth to ask Zheng's mother, Zheng Zhendong hurriedly covered her mouth and signaled her sister not to speak.

Then he brought his sister down from the front beam, and then he got off the bicycle from the front, and finally pushed Zheng's mother on the bicycle and walked home.

When someone wants to say hello on the road, Zheng Zhendong will put his finger in front of his mouth and "shhh", signaling the other party not to speak, so as not to wake up Zheng Mu, who is crying happy tears behind him.

Zheng Zhendong knew that she was too tired and too bitter, her husband died, her eldest son was seriously injured, and her second son was still on the battlefield, and there may be accidents at any time.

Let her remember a little longer, or maybe only now she is happy!

How Zheng Zhendong hopes at this time, time will stop at this moment, so that this woman who has gone through vicissitudes of life will be happy forever!
