The jeep stopped at the entrance of the village and down a young officer
One night in the summer of 1938, Yi Mei was getting ready to sleep when there was a sharp shout outside the door. When I opened the door, the village chief was holding a one-year-old child in his arms, sleeping soundly.
"Sister Yi, this is the child of the division commander who used to live in our village, and I want to temporarily foster her here." The women of the whole village count you the most carefully, and I am assured to hand it over to you, and I am also assured of the organization. ”
At this time, Yi Mei was at home with her one-year-old son and five-year-old daughter, and her husband Meng Sheng joined the Northwest Army and went to the Taierzhuang area to block the Japanese Kou.
Yi Mei didn't say a word and took over the child. The child woke up in her arms and began to cry. Yi Mei quickly undressed and fed the child. Before long, the child was estimated to be full, so he grinned and smiled at Yi Mei.
At that time, there was a lack of food, and Yi Mei's milk was really pitiful, and when her son and the teacher's children were hungry and crying, Yi Mei always fed the little milk to the teacher's children first.
The milk was not enough for two babies to eat at the same time, and Yi Mei had to give her son coarse grains. As a result, the severely malnourished son died before the age of two.
In the spring of 1970, the mountain flowers were full of flowers. On the winding mountain road, an army-green jeep came.
The jeep stopped at the entrance of the village and down a young officer.
When the young officer stood in front of Yi Mei, the 60-year-old Yi Meng mother wiped her old eyes, unable to determine who it was. In those years, Yi Mei had brought too many children, and the descendants of several generals had been fostered in her family, ranging from weeks to months, and the most was the children of the division commander, who lived in Yi Mei's house for a full 7 years. Yi Mei even gave the child a nicknamed Mao Egg.
This young officer was the hairy egg of the year.
Meng Sheng sacrificed on the anti-Japanese battlefield, Yi Mei did not remarry in her life, pulling Nizi, and those children who were constantly taken in.
When Nizi pointed to the hairy egg to Yi Mei, who had some backs of her ears, and compared her "brother", Yi Mei was still confused at first, and after half a minute, a smile finally opened on her thin face, and then there were tears that kept coming.
Yi Mei grabbed Mao Egg's hand and looked left and right. Mao Egg knelt down in front of Yi Mei and shouted in a dumb voice, "Mother..."
Later, Mao Egg would return to the Yimeng Mountains once a year. When you have children, you take them with you. He will never forget his Yimeng mother. In the difficult years, it was Yimeng's mother's milk that fed "general descendants" like him.
