In 1936, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Bocheng and Wang Ronghua, a young female soldier, held a simple wedding and walked hand in hand for 50 years.
Liu Bocheng and Wang Ronghua rarely quarreled after marriage, and have always respected each other as guests, but shortly after they were married, Liu Bocheng made a very harsh criticism of Wang Ronghua, which made Wang Ronghua cry for a long time.
What's going on?
At that time, Liu Bocheng was serving as the chief of the general staff of the Red Army, and Wang Ronghua was also responsible for receiving telegrams at the Red Army Headquarters, and he was very busy and often could not take care of eating.
Liu Bocheng knew that his wife was very busy at work, so his clothes were dirty and generally handed over to the guards to wash, but Wang Ronghua's own clothes could only be washed by himself, and the guards must not be allowed to wash them. Because the guards served Liu Bocheng alone, although Wang Ronghua was Liu Bocheng's wife, he could not command the guards.
Of course, Wang Ronghua is also a revolutionary woman with progressive thoughts, she never thought of following Liu Bocheng to get wet, her clothes were dirty and washed by herself, sometimes she really didn't have time, so she put it aside first, and then washed it after she finished her work.
However, on one occasion, something went wrong.
That day, Liu Bocheng's guards went to their room to clean up, and found a basin of clothes under the bed, and Xiao Was a very enthusiastic person, knowing that Wang Ronghua must be too busy at work, before he had time to wash, he went to the river with this basin of clothes.
Coincidentally, just when it was less than washing clothes, Liu Bocheng suddenly returned, found that less than washing clothes by the river, he went to say hello to him, and it turned out that it didn't matter, he found that Less than was actually washing women's clothes!
Liu Bocheng asked, "Whose clothes are you washing?" ”
Less than knew that Liu Bocheng had this discipline, but did not expect that he would suddenly come back this time, for a moment did not know what to say, Liu Bocheng looked at him like this, immediately knew the reason, said: "I said long ago, Comrade Wang Ronghua's clothes can only be washed by herself, can not let others wash, why should she instruct you to wash?" ”
Xiao Lian said, "It wasn't she who instructed me, I saw that there was a basin of clothes there that hadn't been washed, and I was fine anyway, so I took it and washed it." ”
Liu Bocheng said: "Who said you were okay? Your time is also precious and can be used to read more, study more, and improve your cultural level. ”
Less hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I will pay attention next time!" ”
After Liu Bocheng left, he thought that this matter had passed, and he did not care, after all, this was just a small thing that could not be too small to be small, there was no need to worry about it, but what he did not know was that this "small thing" made Wang Ronghua receive very severe criticism.
After Wang Ronghua returned home from work, Liu Bocheng opened the door and asked her: "Comrade Wang Ronghua, why did you ask the guards to help you wash your clothes?" ”
Wang Ronghua still didn't know what was going on, felt inexplicable, and said, "I didn't let Less help me wash my clothes!" ”
Liu Bocheng said sternly: "Don't you not admit it, I saw it with my own eyes, do you want me to call Xiao Xiao to confront him?" ”
Wang Ronghua seemed to think of something, and rushed to see under the bed, and sure enough, the basin of clothes was gone!
Wang Ronghua said embarrassedly: "I have always remembered what you said, this time because I was too busy, I also hid my clothes under the bed, and when I had time to wash them, who knew that I was less enthusiastic than that, or found the clothes." ”
Wang Ronghua thought that if she explained it clearly, her husband would no longer criticize himself, after all, he did not mean to let the guards wash his clothes, it was just a misunderstanding, but what she did not expect was that her husband still did not let her go, but continued to say sternly: "Don't push the responsibility on others, that is, you did not manage your own clothes, this kind of thing happened!" Don't think it's a trivial matter, it's a matter of principle! ”
Liu Bocheng criticized Wang Ronghua for half an hour, and Wang Ronghua was wronged and cried for a long time.
Of course, Wang Ronghua also knew Liu Bocheng's good intentions, did not blame him, and later strengthened his management of himself, whether in life or work, there are few similar mistakes.
When he was awarded the rank in 1955, Liu Bocheng was a marshal, and Wang Ronghua was also awarded the rank of colonel, and later served as an adviser to the General Office of the Central Military Commission.
