The third grandmother is ninety years old, her body is still tough, her eyes are not dazzling, her ears are not deaf, she is in good spirits, she can read books and newspapers, and she often participates in the dance team in the village square. When she was 12 years old, she went to school in Suzhou and Nanjing with the exile of the young people in the village, and saw the world. When Nanjing was liberated, he met the third master who was a soldier, and because he was a fellow villager, the third master took good care of her. After she finished middle school, she traveled to many places in the south of the Yangtze River with the third master's troops, until the whole country was liberated and life was stable, and they held a simple wedding in Guilin. After the third master was injured in his right leg when he was suppressing bandits in Guizhou, he was demobilized and returned to his hometown, and the two became farmers from then on.

The third master has bad legs and feet, and he can't do heavy work, and the burden of the family falls on the third grandmother alone. With the birth of three uncles, Battle Banner, War Cloud, and Battle Cloud, family life becomes more and more difficult. The third grandmother is very strong, although life is hard, she also did everything possible to support her three uncles, and spent that unforgettable time in the hardship.

In the 60s of the 20th century, like the men in the production team, she dug trenches to improve the saline-alkali land. Work together to plant and harvest crops, and dig rivers and build ditches together. Every time she does more than others, she is energetic, so she has also been appreciated by the cadres of the brigade and promoted to the female production captain. Especially one spring, a military horse was assigned to the team, unruly and fierce. The old style of the team can't be cleaned up, the third grandmother took the initiative to step forward when she saw this, holding the reins in her left hand, holding a long horse whip in her right hand, and blasting three horse whips in the open field, the military horse screamed and screamed, the front hooves kicked in the air, the three grandmothers jumped on the military horse and galloped wildly in the field, only to see her holding the reins with her left hand, tightening the horsemane with her right hand, jumping up and down on the horseback, the military horse screamed, four hooves tossed for a while, front hooves soared for a while, whirling in place for a while, and rushing left and right for a while. For about half an hour, the third grandmother always stuck to the horse's back like a plaster, and she didn't fall off. The onlookers were stunned by this thrilling scene, and they didn't dare to come out until the military horse was strangled by the third grandmother with a horsewhip, and the reins paused four times, and the military horse slowed down and meekly stopped in a circle in the big field, and the third grandmother jumped off the horse and handed the reins to the old style Uncle Zhang, who said timidly: "Can this be stopped?."The third grandmother said loudly while sweating: "Okay, you can rest assured that he will be made!".The military horse was led back to the stable by Uncle Zhang like a tame lamb. At this time, all the members of the club burst into thunderous cheers. Afterwards, everyone learned that the third grandmother had ridden a horse to send information to the chief when she was in the army, and had ridden a horse to kill enemies and bandits on the battlefield. The members of the club admired the third grandmother even more. The third grandmother served as the secretary of the brigade branch in 1965, she was literate and hyphenated, progressive in thinking, active in work, and always rushed to the forefront of various tasks. Soon the "Cultural Revolution" began, followed by a wave of "breaking the four old and establishing the four new". As the secretary of the branch, he had to respond to the call of the first class, so the brigade was also vigorously carried out as well as all parts of the country. Especially in the matter of picking up the "Sanhou Temple", the third grandmother made a difficulty, the rebels insisted on picking it up and demolishing it, and the third grandmother insisted on keeping it. The third grandmother knows that the "Sanhou Temple" in the village is to commemorate the Zhou Dynasty Tang Ge Wednesday Marquis, the three marquis is a real person in history, the three of them dare to admonish directly when Zhou Li was king, loyal and loyal to the country. After King Li was mediocre, the three of them left Zhou to go to Wu, helped King Wu defeat the Chu State, and made great achievements. King Wu gave the official gift and did not accept it, Xuan Wang Li, the three returned to Zuozhi, the Zhou Dynasty was governed, the politics were clear, the people were harmonious, and King Xuan was awarded Tang Ge Zhou as the marquis because of the outstanding merits of the three people. Regardless of personal gains and losses, they asked for the people's lives, were highly respected, sympathetic to Li Yuan, and were deeply loved and missed by the people. During his lifetime, the three of them stationed soldiers here in my hometown until they died, and they were buried here after their deaths. Later generations built temples to commemorate and respect, praise their merits, and educate the people. Preserving the temple is to promote patriotism and benefit the country and the people, so how can it be torn down and demolished?The rebels believed that burning incense and offering proclamations was feudal superstition and resolutely destroyed it. Later, due to great resistance, the Sanhou Temple finally could not escape its doom. Because the third grandmother was born in a revolutionary soldier and was an old party member, she finally took a warning and punished her. The third grandmother attaches great importance to the education of her children. During the "Cultural Revolution", he hid some famous works collected during the Breaking the Four Old Movement, secretly handed them to his children to read, taught them to memorize books such as "Three Hundred Tang Poems", "Three Kingdoms Interpretation", "Song of Youth", and "The Sun Shines on the Sanggan River", requiring the three children not to stop reading and Xi, and not to participate in smashing and looting, so the three uncles also accumulated a deep cultural foundation. The eldest uncle and the second uncle were both recommended to the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers, and the third uncle was also admitted to the university after the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977. In the 40 years of reform and opening up, people in their hometown have not paid attention to their hometown culture, and even many people do not know who is buried in the three graves in their hometown. Five years ago, because the uncle's son was working in Shandong, the third grandmother had the opportunity to go to Mount Tai to play. Climb Dongyue, watch the sunrise, on the way to visit the Bixia Temple, the Jade Emperor Temple, the Qingdi Palace, the Dai Temple, the Queen Mother Pool, the Guandi Temple and other places of interest, until the tour is not Xuan Temple to know that this temple was originally enshrined in the Taoist legend of the three gates of the god Zhou admonished officials Tang Hong, Ge Yong, Zhou Wu. The three grandmothers were very surprised, the three marquis buried in the original hometown were so respected in Mount Tai, the temple was antique, the heavy eaves roof of glazed tiles, the eaves were warped, the bucket arches were staggered, the vermilion lacquer gate, the carved beams and painted buildings, the fine carving, the ingenious workmanship. The hall is resplendent in gold, the three marquis stand dignified, the majestic shore is high, and the respect arises spontaneously in an instant. Since then, what makes the third grandmother regret it is that when she was the secretary of the brigade branch, she did not attach importance to and protect the culture of the three tombs, and did not cherish the culture of her hometown. After returning from Shandong, the third grandmother brought back not joy, but remorse and repentance, more enthusiasm and passion. Three Hou Mausoleum in his childhood, divided into West Hou Mausoleum, Middle Marquis Mausoleum and East Marquis Mausoleum, each 500 meters apart, three mausoleums are about 30 meters higher than the ground, the mausoleum is overgrown with shrubs, the bamboo is dense, lush and gloomy, gloomy and terrifying. The pines and cypresses are all around, the branches are staggered, the shade covers the sun, and the purple smoke is swirling. The Sanhou Temple next to the Donghou Mausoleum is full of fireworks and many pilgrims. It is a pity that the villagers have a weak sense of cultural protection, and the soil has been exhausted, and the hills have been razed to the ground. The third grandmother was very sorry, and she and the pilgrims made a wish to rebuild the Sanhou Temple. Regardless of her old age, the third grandmother ran to tell each other, and together with the enthusiastic people in her hometown, she publicized the historical achievements of the three marquis and carried forward the patriotic feelings of martial arts and loyalty. Until three years ago, with the strong support of the three Song brothers in Sungang Village, the three grandmothers actively donated money and materials, built a monument building in the Donghou Mausoleum, added an incense burner, and engraved the inscription of the three marquis, so that more people in their hometown know and understand the cultural connotation of the three marquis, and aroused more people's attention to the history and culture of their hometown, in order to realize the long-cherished wish of the revitalization of the hometown culture. Nowadays, more people come to pay tribute to the three marquis, explore the secluded and seek victory, remember the sages, and miss the past and hurt the present. The three grandmothers happily volunteered to be docents, and it seemed that her wish would not be far off.
