One day in September 1950, a young man in his early 20s came to the entrance of the railway department and wanted to enter. The security guard at the door stopped him, and the security guard saw that the young man was dressed in a rustic rural dress, and decided that he would not come to visit relatives, and was afraid that he would come, so he interrogated:
Are you here?Who to look for?
The security guard's voice may be a little loud and not very friendly, and the young man was asked like this, subconsciously lowered his head, and replied timidly, I'm looking for my dad. The security guard couldn't help but sneer and asked disdainfully: Who is your father?Is he in it?
The young man replied boldly, My father's name is Teng Daiyuan. Teng Daiyuan's three words shocked the security guards, that was the minister of their Ministry of Railways, the supreme chief. Every time the security guard saw Minister Teng, he had to salute. This young man said that he was the son of Minister Teng, like?
The security guard looked at the young man carefully, and he didn't look like it. But he didn't dare to slack off as a small security guard, and immediately reported to the inside. After several twists and turns, after being contacted, Teng Daiyuan's guard Xiao Liu drove the young man to his home.
At that time, Teng Daiyuan was busy with work and was not at home. The son came to recognize his relatives, but Teng Daiyuan was quite cautious, he had a son in his hometown, but his hometown Mayang was located in Xiangxi, and there were many bandits and reactionaries in that area, all of which were high mountains, and it was very inconvenient to travel.
New China has just been established, and the social situation is relatively complicated, Teng Daiyuan and this son have not seen each other for more than 20 years, so they dare not recognize each other rashly. Teng Daiyuan, who has always been cautious, decided to have a "recognition test".
How is it a test?Teng Daiyuan arranged for his secretary to meet the young man in the duty room and asked several questions. These problems are all from Teng Daiyuan. For example, the specific time of birth, the names of relatives in the clan, whether the gate of the hometown faces east or west, how many rock bowls there are at the door, how many stone steps there are, and so on.
The young men all answered fluently, and the score was exactly the same, indicating that he was really Teng Jiuxiang, Teng Daiyuan's son. Teng Daiyuan then agreed to meet his son at the beautiful Summer Palace in Beijing. How could Teng Daiyuan have a son who hasn't seen each other for more than 20 years?
Teng Daiyuan is a native of Mayang, Hunan, and is of Miao nationality. After graduating from high school, he worked as a Chinese teacher at the village's junior primary school. Teng Daiyuan was 17 years old that year, and according to the customs of the Miao people, he had reached the age of talking about marriage.
The family introduced Teng Daiyuan to a marriage, the woman was an uneducated rural woman, 4 years older than Teng Daiyuan, and was his mother's maiden niece. It's kiss on kiss. In the second year, Teng Daiyuan was admitted to the Hunan Provincial Second Normal School, and since then he has gone out to study and embarked on the revolutionary road.
He rarely goes home and doesn't have much affection for his wife, but he has a son, this is Teng Jiuxiang. After participating in the revolution, Teng Daiyuan restarted his family. All this is caused by the times.
Seeing his eldest son who had been absent for more than 20 years, Teng Daiyuan was very happy, and after work, he took Teng Jiuxiang to visit Beihai Park, the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace and other places of interest, and the father and son got along relatively happily.
On this day, Teng Jiuxiang suddenly made a request, he said, Dad, you are the Minister of Railways, can you arrange a job for me in Beijing?In this way, our father and son can see each other often. Teng Daiyuan pondered for a moment and said to his son
According to the relationship between father and son, I should arrange a job for you in Beijing, but I am a cadre of the Communist Party, and I serve the people wholeheartedly, and I absolutely do not have the right to use my power for personal gain. Besides, you have a grandmother in your hometown, a lover and a child, you can't hand over this burden to the local ** and the people, you should go back to your hometown in the countryside.
At first, Teng Jiuxiang, who was rejected, felt very uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, his father's words still made sense, and finally he accepted his father's suggestion and obediently returned to his hometown.
Before leaving, Teng Daiyuan repeatedly warned him: After you go back, don't use my brand to ask for relief or other demands, work honestly in the peasant association, and don't leave the masses.
Teng Daiyuan also gave Teng Jiuxiang a big cloth bag, Teng Jiuxiang thought it was something valuable, but he didn't expect to open it and see that it was all some worn torn clothes, and a belt, which Teng Daiyuan used when he fought in Jinggangshan.
After returning to his hometown, his grandmother hurriedly asked Teng Jiuxiang, the family is so difficult, and your father didn't give me any moneyTeng Jiuxiang replied very aggrievedly, I got off the train, and I only had one and five dimes left, and if I went a little farther home, I was afraid that I would be hungry.
