Support each other, wind and rain follow
Huang Shiyou and Zhou Xifeng
In May 1971, Huang Shiyou and Zhou Xifeng married. At that time, Huang Shiyou was 23 years old and a worker in the rubber factory of the former Yuehua General Factory; Zhou Xifeng was 20 years old and worked as a farmer at home. After getting married, the two lived a life of separation between the two places - Huang Shiyou returned to the factory to work, and Zhou Xifeng stayed in his hometown. While working as a farmer, Zhou Xifeng took care of the family, not only filial piety to the elderly mother-in-law, but also to pull two sons, is a well-known good daughter-in-law. It was not until 1992 that Zhou Xifeng came to Yuehua as a family worker, and the family was reunited.
In the 1970s, the family lived on Huang Shiyou's salary alone, and their lives were tight. Zhou Xifeng looked for work everywhere, worked as a janitor, a temporary worker, and sold popsicles in the summer under the scorching sun. Huang Shiyou never hangs out after work, always rushes home, makes a meal for Zhou Xifeng, and then rushes home to take care of his son to eat. Although life was difficult at that time, the two families never quarreled, always had business, harmony, and saved a part of the limited income to send back to their hometown to support the elderly.
After retirement, Huang Shiyou, who had worked hard all his life, couldn't stay idle, and then found a temporary job to watch the pump room, he said: "I'm used to it, I can't stay idle." If I do something, I can also lighten the burden on the children. "As the children and grandchildren grow up, the old two take care of each other more, buy vegetables and cook together, walk and exercise, and respect each other." In recent years, Zhou Xifeng has suffered from cerebral infarction, gallstones and other diseases, in order to increase nutrition for his wife, Huang Shiyou has made delicious meals according to his wife's taste. Under the meticulous care of Huang Shiyou, Zhou Xifeng's body is gradually improving.
Plain and simple, happiness as ever
Liu Guanghui and Peng Peizhen
On the eve of the Chongyang Festival, Liu Guanghui and Peng Peizhen ushered in their 50-year golden marriage. Hand in hand through the half century of cold and summer, husband and wife have always raised eyebrows and cared for each other.
Liu Guanghui is 75 years old this year, there are 7 brothers and sisters in the family, the family is poor, after demobilization in 1965, he was introduced to Peng Peizhen, and the two married in their hometown of Huarong. At that time, Liu Guanghui was already working in the resin factory of the former Yuehua General Factory, and his wife was working as a farmer in her hometown. With the birth of a son and a daughter, the family that was not rich was even more economically stretched. Peng Peizhen has to take care of her children at home and also assumes the responsibility of supporting the elderly. In order to increase the family's income, she often works odd jobs. Until 1991, the family of four was finally reunited, ending the career of "half a family".
Due to long-term heavy physical work, Peng Peizhen fell into a serious lumbar disc herniation and was often bedridden when she was seriously ill. While working, Liu Guanghui took on housework, the big and small things at home, and did not let Peng Peizhen interfere with half a hand. Under the meticulous care of Liu Guanghui, Peng Peizhen's old illness has not recurred.
Liu Guanghui is a "warm-hearted" and was unanimously recommended by his neighbors to serve as the building chief after retirement. Although the "official" is not big, he has done a lot of work, and he has been elected as the branch committee of the 7 retired branches of the Wangjialing community. During the COVID-19 epidemic last year, Liu Guanghui served as a community volunteer, mapping out the situation of residents, inspecting buildings, guarding community entrances, and going home at night to summarize and report epidemic prevention data, often busy until midnight.
Peng Peizhen understands her 53-year-old party partner very well and has never complained. Liu Guanghui often went out as soon as she received the call, and she quickly chased after it and instructed: "Old Liu, when you are old, you must pay attention to safety!" Sometimes when the meal was ready and Liu Guanghui was still busy outside, she would make the meal hot and hot until Liu Guanghui came home and ate together. She said: "Old Liu runs outside every day, I have to make a good meal, so that his nutrition is guaranteed and his resistance is improved." ”
"Mordaunt sang yu late, the world is heavy in the evening sunshine." From youth to whitehead, hand in hand through most of their lives, the two are considerate of each other, love each other, take care of each other, this is happiness.
The old man continues to exert his residual heat
Li Yuanlong and Liu Fengqin
"I don't have anything to introduce, I mainly talk about our teacher Li." Liu Fengqin, 72, said: "At that time, the secretary of the branch where I went to the countryside to join the team was Teacher Li's cousin. Teacher Li was a graduate of Central China Normal University at that time and was assigned to Xi'an, at that time he still wanted to return to Hunan and wanted to find a girl from Hunan as a daughter-in-law, so he met through the introduction of his cousin. ”
This year is the 51st year of their marriage, and on October 4, under the arrangement of the retirement management center of Baling Petrochemical Company, the old couple put on suits and wedding dresses and took a sweet group photo. Recalling the process of knowing each other at that time, Liu Fengqin still remembers it vividly, at first they mainly communicated through letters, although they were separated from each other and had never met, but there was nothing to talk about between the two people. In that era, no matter what he did, he paid attention to "origin", and Li Yuanlong had always carried a heavy ideological baggage, and in his letters, he also frankly explained to Liu Fengqin that he was afraid that because of his "origin", he would not affect the lives of the two people and the next generation.
Liu Fengqin is a high-ranking cadre. Through the letters, she saw Li Yuanlong's people and abilities, and did not break the connection because of his origin, "I was right at that time, no matter what impact his origin had on future generations and life." "After more than a year of correspondence, they got married, and since then the two have shared honor and disgrace, and they have been in the same boat in the same boat.
"My lover is 80 years old this year, before retirement was a teacher at Yuehua No. 2 Middle School, after retirement has been in the community to help students volunteer free make-up classes, I used to be a teacher of the University of Electricity, after retirement in the community as a building chief, and is a volunteer in our Jinbin community." Talking about retirement life, Liu Fengqin said happily: "Now all the activities in our community are particularly well organized. Thank you very much to the organization, the care of our elderly, let us have a dependence on the elderly, we also try to do something for the elderly, and dedicate the residual heat to the society. ”
Together for 50 years, we have never quarreled
Luo Binghuang and Yang Xiantao
"We got married in 1971, and it's been exactly 50 years now. Over the years, we have not had a single fight, and we have discussed everything in the family. Luo Binghuang, now 77 years old, can't help but praise his wife Yang Xiantao: "She has a very good personality, is a typical housewife, buys vegetables, cooks rice, washes clothes, cleans up the house, likes to grow vegetables, is diligent and thrifty, and is virtuous and capable." ”
Luo Binghuang, a native of Xiangyin County, transferred from the army in 1971 and worked in the administrative section of the former Yuehua General Factory. When he returned from the army to visit his relatives in 1970, he was introduced to Yang Xiantao by relatives at home. "At that time, we were very reserved, and we wrote letters secretly." Recalling the scene when the two were separated and determined their love relationship through Hongyan's biography, Luo Binghuang still couldn't hide his liking for his wife, "We knew each other for a year, and we got married after returning from the army. ”
Finally, talking about the current retirement life, Luo Binghuang said: "The company will come to visit us every year on major holidays, organized care, and our old age life is very happy. Although all the retirees have now been handed over to the localities, the organization still does practical things and offers love to the elderly in need everywhere to solve practical difficulties. ”
