In the month of 1959, Li Yuzhi's mood was uneasy. In the past, when her husband Deng Hua went to other places for meetings, he wrote frequently with her and contacted her, but this time it was very rare.
Soon after, Dai Juesheng, the driver of Deng Hua's special car, told her that the people who had gone to Beijing for a meeting had returned. But Deng Hua didn't come back
This made Li Yuzhi's heart even more suspenseful.
On this day, Tang Zi'an, deputy chief of staff of the military region, officially came to his home to inform him that Deng Hua had been dismissed.
When Li Yuzhi heard the news, he took a special plane from the military region to Beijing the next day and met Deng Hua at the guest house of the Central Military Commission.
During those days, Li Yuzhi accompanied Deng Hua day and night, constantly giving him comfort and encouragement.
At the end of the same year, Deng Hua suddenly asked Li Yuzhi for his opinionAsk her if she wants to go to the dining hall to have a look
That hot land is where the two met and got married. Li Yuzhi saidIt's too stuffy here, it's time to go outside.
So, Deng Hua took his wife and daughter to the dining hall together. There, they met an elderly man with whom they had a good conversation.
And the old man said:"I'll be able to recognize Commander Deng when he's here. ”And the person in front of the elder was Commander Deng Hua.
Deng Hua has been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, and the warmth he gives to his wife and children is relatively small.
And Li Yuzhi understands her husband very well, she thinks"As a soldier's wife, there is a price to pay. ”
After returning from the Korean battlefield, Deng Hua's due position in both the party and the army was established. It can be described as "infinitely good spring".
On January 8, 1955, Deng Hua's last child was born. He personally named it, called"Deng Xin".
Judging from the daughter's name, it is difficult to hide the joy of Deng Hua's family at that time.
In September 1955, Deng Hua was awarded the rank of general. The following year, at the Eighth National Congress, Deng Hua was elected as a member of the ** Committee of the Communist Party of China.
As the war faded and his life became more and more stable, Deng Hua thought that it was time to make up for the emotional "debt" of his wife and children.
After that, Deng Hua took his family to the park whenever he was free, or went to the Shenyang Peking Opera Troupe to watch Peking Opera.
Deng Hua also often told the children about his experiences during the war years. At that time, the family lived a very leisurely life.
At the beginning of the First Five-Year Plan, the country's large-scale economic construction required a large number of scientific talents. So, Li Yuzhi thought of going to college.
Li Yuzhi's past education was a primary normal graduate. During the Anti-Japanese War, she studied medicine at the Bethune Health School in Tang County, Hebei Province.
Later, Li Yuzhi worked in the medical team of the army.
When a friend learned that Li Yuzhi was going to college, he persuaded herWith Commander Deng's current strength and status, why do you still have to study hard?
But Li Yuzhi didn't think so.
Deng Hua is very supportive of his wife's decision. At this time, there was an index of transferring cadres to Xi, and Li Yuzhi successfully entered China Medical University.
Xi there for 4 years.
Later, the name of the university was changed to "Shenyang Medical College".
After the Lushan Conference, Deng Hua's mood was depressed. He took the initiative to propose to his wife Li Yuzhi that he wanted to go to the dining hall for a spin.
After Li Yuzhi agreed, Deng Hua added:"We'll leave tomorrow. ”
That day, Deng Hua, Li Yuzhi and Xinxin, who was less than five years old, took a car together and went to the dining hall.
Along the way, Deng Xin curiously asked his father Deng Hua, what kind of tree is that?Like a pen?
Deng Hua had something in his heart, so he just hugged Deng Xin tightly and didn't say a word.
Li Yuzhi explained that it wasPen poplar.
The atmosphere inside the car was still dreary. However, Deng Xin is still young and likes to ask questions. She pestered her father again and asked him to tell her the story of beating devils.
Deng Hua answered, go to the place where the devil is beaten first, and ask your mother to tell you the story of the devil in a while.
Deng Xin asked,Does Mom also fight devils?
When the words fell, Deng Hua was amused by his daughter's innocence and ignorance.
At the same time, her daughter's words also evoked the unusual past ...... Deng Hua and Li Yuzhi in the dining hall in the past
Zhaitang has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. As a natural barrier to the western part of Beijing, its importance cannot be overstated.
In March 1938, Deng Hua, who was not yet 28 years old, was ordered to lead his troops to the area of Zhaitang to fight against the Japanese invaders.
It was also here that Deng Hua and Li Yuzhi met and got married. At that time, there was no honeymoon talk, and the day after they got married, the two were busy fighting and working.
When Deng Hua's family came to the location of the headquarters of the year, a well-meaning landlord's house surnamed Nie, Deng Hua was full of emotion.
It was a small chic building with six or seven rooms. Later, due to the war, it was destroyed by artillery fire, leaving only the ruins of the wall.
At this time, Li Yuzhi suddenly mentioned a name"Nie Yanfang".and asked him if he remembered
Deng Hua said casually, saying that she was the younger sister of the landlord Nie, and she was the same age as Li Yuzhi. At that time, under the leadership of Li Yuzhi, Nie Yanfang also quickly devoted himself to the revolutionary cause.
Li Yuzhi added that Nie Yanfang likes to sing and dance. The two of them often work together to do propaganda work, often busy all day, but when they return to their residence, they are still full of energy.
Just as Deng Hua and Li Yuzhi were reminiscing about the past, an elderly man appeared and interrupted their communication.
The elder asked, have you ever lived here?
Deng Hua said he fought here.
The elder nodded and saidThere are many Eighth Route Army people who have lived here.
Li Yuzhi interjected and asked the elder, what is your surname?Always living here?
The elder said that his surname was Li, and that his ancestors had lived here for generations. He also saidThere was originally a commander named Deng Hua living here, and his lover was Li Yuzhi.
The elder then told the story of Deng Hua's War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, saying that the villagers missed them very much.
Speaking of which, the elder tentatively asked Deng Hua what his surname was?
Deng Hua said decisivelyHis surname is Lee.
After hearing this, the elder said that there was a chief of staff living in his house back then, Li Zhongqi.
Hearing this, Deng Hua and Li Yuzhi both remembered. This elder, surnamed Li, was a member of the militia at that time, and later joined the district cadre team.
What Deng Hua and Li Yuzhi didn't expect was that after many years, the villagers were still thinking about their soldiers. They were really touched.
The elder saidIf Commander Deng Hua came, he would definitely be able to recognize him.
Li Yuzhi took the conversation and asked, after decades, maybe admit your mistake.
The elder said firmly, no. Later, the elder asked againWhat is Li Yuzhi's surname?
Li Yuzhi said, surnamed Li. For fear that the elders would hear it, Li Yuzhi also said that it was the pear of Yali pear.
After hearing this, the elder said in surprise, "Huh?"”
In other words, why did Deng Hua say that his surname was "Li"?It turned out that when Deng Hua was a soldier in the company in 1958, he used the pseudonym "Li Jian".
The reason why he was "incognito" was related to Deng Hua's punishment.
In 1977, Deng Hua was appointed vice president of the Academy of Military Sciences.
On the day they received the letter of appointment, Deng Hua's family was as happy as the New Year.
Deng Hua immediately said that he wanted to treat him at night, and he asked Li Yuzhi to get a few more dishes.
That night, Deng Hua also made a special decision to quit smoking.
On August 25 of the same year, the new ** Military Commission was formed, and Deng Hua served as a member of the Military Commission.
During a meeting of the Military Commission, Deng Hua suddenly felt unwell, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered until the last day.
Deng Hua cherished the opportunity to return to the army. In the hospital, Li Yuzhi was with him at all times. Deng Hua told Li Yuzhi that he had a dream of fighting.
Then, Deng Hua read another poem by Lu You. Lu You's poem "The Wind and Rain on November 4th" was written when he was 68 years old, and Deng Hua was also 68 years old that year.
Li Yuzhi told Deng Hua,Let him take care of his body, Lu You lived to be 85 years old, and he will also live to be 85 years old. There were many years to go, and there were many battles for him.
Unfortunately, on July 3, 1980, Deng Hua died of illness in Shanghai.
