Xu Wenjin, who had been farming for more than ten years, looked at the staff in front of him and couldn't believe that his father was still alive. The rural woman, who was less than 30 years old, looked much older than she really was. Previously, Xu Wenjin had only heard his uncle mention that his father was an Eighth Route Army.
Xu Wenjin was still in shock when he looked at the very sincere expression of the People's Liberation Army and the staff brought by the village chief. Xu Wenjin's father was named Xu Haidong, and in 1955, Xu Haidong was awarded the title of founding general. Xu Wenjin was the daughter of the founding general, and what Xu Wenjin did not expect was that when she met her father and begged him to arrange a job for her, she was rejected.
1. The life of orphans and widows
Xu Wenjin's vowel is called Tian Dezhai (田德斋). Tian Dezhai and Xu Haidong are arranged marriages, Xu Haidong's family is an ordinary farmer, but Xu Haidong has a characteristic that his temper is not very good. Xu Haidong angered the little young master of the landlord's family because of his fiery temper.
The little young master could not beat Xu Haidong and told his landlord father that seven or eight years old was the age of dogs, and Xu Haidong was beaten badly by the landlord. From this time on, Xu Haidongqingzhong planted the seeds of resistance and also influenced his future revolutionary path.
The 13-year-old Xu Haidong did not like to read, so his parents asked him to go to the kiln factory as an apprentice. At that time, the apprentices not only had no salary, but also had to be called by the master to drink. Even so, Xu Haidong would rather go to the kiln factory as a hard apprentice than study. Seeing that at the age of marriage at that time, his parents found him a simple rural daughter-in-law.
This girl is Tian Dezhai. Tian Dezhai fully met the requirements of a virtuous wife and mother in the eyes of the rural people at that time. She has no culture, but she is diligent and quick,000, and she manages the family inside and out very well. In this way, Xu Haidong obeyed his parents' arrangement and married Tian Dezhai.
Xu Haidong joined the Communist Party in 1925, and the young and strong Xu Haidong followed other Communists to participate in the revolutionary uprising. It is precisely because of Xu Haidong's excellent work that he has become a thorn in the eyes of the Kuomintang reactionaries, and the threat of the reactionaries has not stopped Xu Haidong's revolutionary determination.
Later, Xu Haidong left his home to continue the revolution, and who knew that chiang kai-shek, who was extremely vicious, launched a brutal massacre against Xu Haidong's hometown. Chiang Kai-shek sent a group of men and horses to Xu Haidong's hometown, and what people did not expect was that the Kuomintang reactionaries not only killed Xu Haidong's mother, but also killed Xu Haidong's uncle, uncle, and other relatives who could find them.
One of Xu Haidong's relatives saw that Tian Dezhai had been captured by the enemy, and in order to protect Xu Haidong's young daughter Xu Wenjin, he quietly transferred her in a basket, thus saving Xu Wenjin's life.
Chiang Kai-shek's reactionaries tortured Tian Dezhai in prison and released the news. They did this in order to lure Xu Haidong into taking the bait and letting Xu Haidong rescue Tian Dezhai so that he could catch it all. Tian Dezhai died unyieldingly, and later Chiang Kai-shek confessed with good food and drink, who knew that Tian Dezhai, a rural woman who seemed to have no culture, understood the great righteousness and did not eat soft and hard.
Finally, thanks to the efforts of many people, Tian Dezhai was released. But the distraught Chiang Kai-shek made a request for Tian Dezhai to marry someone else. At first, Tian Dezhai did not agree, and later Chiang Kai-shek threatened the life of Xu Haidong's old family, and Tian Dezhai had no way to agree to marry a simple peasant.
Twenty-three years later, I saw my father
After Tian Dezhai remarried, Xu Wenjin has been living an anonymous life and has not revealed his identity to anyone. Especially after growing up and having memories, Xu Wenjin only knew that she was rescued by her second uncle, and her father was called Xu Haidong, but she had no impression of her father's memory.
As xu Wenjin grew older, Xu Wenjin soon reached the age of talking about marriage. Xu Wenjin, who has been living in the countryside, met Gao Zhengkai, a barefoot doctor in the countryside. In this way, the two people came together and took root in the countryside. Xu Wenjin occasionally heard through various channels that a man named Xu Haidong had made great contributions to the ranks of the People's Liberation Army and had become a high official.
Xu Wenjin wasn't sure if it was his father. Still buried in the daily work. After liberation, Xu Wenjin and her husband returned to their hometown after a long absence. Here Xu Wenjin finally no longer has to hide his name, everyone in his hometown knows his father, and these people tell Xu Wenjin that her father became a high official, and Xu Wenjin will have a good life in the future.
Xu Wenjin, who had not traveled far away from the countryside since he was a child, did not think of going to find his father, but he was an ordinary rural woman with poor economic conditions, and gradually dispelled this idea, until 1951, when several PLA and other workers led by the village chief came to the field to find themselves.
Xu Wenjin was sure that what others had told was true, and his father had become a founding general. Before meeting her father, her husband Gao Zhengkai quietly told Xu Wenjin to ask her father Xu Haidong to find a job in the city. Xu Wenjin thought about it and felt that it made sense, and she followed the staff to the Dalian Sanatorium where her father was nursing with excitement.
Third, the father's request to find a job was rejected
Xu Wenjin was away for 23 years to see his father, and by this time his father had remarried and had a son, Xu Wenbo. Xu Haidong did not feel strange because he had not seen his daughter for 23 years. In order to make up for the fatherly love that his daughter has lost in the past 23 years, Xu Haidong let her accompany him.
Xu Wenjin also accompanied his father to live in a nursing home to take care of his father's daily life. Xu Haidong often told his daughter that he was sorry for her and made her suffer. At first, Xu Wenjin did not ask his father to arrange a job for him, but seeing that the time of separation from his father was getting closer and closer, Xu Wenjin asked his father if he could arrange a job for himself in the city.
After Xu Haidong thought about it for a long time, he solemnly could not privilege his daughter and could not cause trouble to the government. Although Xu Wenjin was sad after listening to her father's words, she returned to her hometown to continue farming with the villagers.
Later, Xu Wenjin gradually understood his father's thoughts, and after returning home, he not only actively produced but also worked hard to learn cultural knowledge. Xu Wenjin often communicated with his father through letters, reporting to him his progress bit by bit. The daughter of the founding general has been rooted in the countryside all her life and dedicated herself to the countryside.
summary:
Xu Wenjin, who farms in the countryside, not only works harder in his work and life, but also leads the women in the village to actively produce. Every harvest season, Xu Wenjin always sent the grain he grew, or some local specialties, to his father. From the time he met his father in 1951, his father's death has not been broken for many years.
During the three years of difficult times, Xu Wenjin's husband Gao Zhengkai finally did not carry it, leaving Xu Wenjin and five children behind. Even so, Xu Wenjin still remembered his father's instructions not to cause trouble for the state and the government, and relied on his thin shoulders to carry the family's livelihood. Xu Wenjin died in 2009.
