At the confluence of the Grand Canal and the Huai River, there is a historical city - Huai'an. In the early 80s of the last century, when people came to the Huai'an City Library, they often saw a female comrade who was nearly 50 years old and had a long figure busy, she moved neatly, walked quickly, and always had a simple smile on her kind face, giving people a sense of closeness at first sight. She is ***'s nephew Sun Guiyun. In the last 15 years of the life of this great man in Chinese history, he and her family had a happy and tragic experience.
Sun Guiyun!One day in 1960, the principal of Huai'an Hexia Experimental Primary School called her and said, "Please go to the town's cultural and educational assistant to get a radio." "OK. She said yes, got on her bike and set off. This 26-year-old girl, whose parents died when she was a child, developed her pungent and brave character in a difficult environment, and she joined the party before she was 20 years old. At school, she taught Chinese, arithmetic, and everything, and was also in charge of general affairs, full of youthful vitality. When I got to the cultural assistant, she got the radio and came back. The next day, the principal asked her with a smile, "Little Sun, did you see a young man in the house when you went yesterday?""Oh, yes. She remembered that there was indeed a young man with clear eyebrows sitting next to the assistant in education. He is ***'s nephew Zhou Erhui, 29 years old this year, teaching at Beijing Iron and Steel Institute, and this time he returned to his hometown to find a partner. He is very satisfied after knowing your situation, and yesterday let you go is actually a visual inspection, and he has taken a fancy to you. The headmaster laughed heartily. "You ......Playing tricks. Sun Guiyun's face turned red. What a radio, it turned out to be a trap. "Teacher Sun, you are 26 years old, you should also think about it. Well, this is a movie ticket, and they asked you to go to the movie tonight. Sun Guiyun's mouth was high, but she still went that night. After nearly 1 year of love, they confirmed their relationship and decided to build a small family in Beijing, and Sun Guiyun went to Beijing Iron and Steel Institute to teach in the children's primary school.
In June 1961, Sun Guiyun moved to Beijing, and the first major thing was, of course, to meet his uncle and aunt. Zhou Erhui is the son of the premier's second cousin, Zhou Enshuo. During the Anti-Japanese War, Zhou Enshuo sacrificed his life in the struggle against the Japanese puppet. After the liberation of the country, the prime minister took Zhou Erhui, who had lost his father, to his side to raise him. Zhou Erhui is simple and loyal, diligent and thrifty, and is very popular with his uncle and aunt. They were naturally very concerned about his marriage, and when they heard that he had found a very satisfactory partner in his hometown, they immediately expressed their desire to meet her. At noon in June 1961, Zhou Erhui led Sun Guiyun to the West Flower Hall in Zhongnanhai, and saw his uncle and aunt waiting on the steps. "You're here. Uncle smiled kindly and stepped forward to hold Sun Guiyun's hand. The aunt came and pinned two magnolia flowers with a faint fragrance to her chest. Two old men dragged her into the house. Uncle and aunt are both well-known revolutionaries at home and abroad, but they are so enthusiastic about themselves, Sun Guiyun is so excited that he doesn't know what to do. Then, a light lunch, she ate deliciously.
On July 2, Zhou Erhui and Sun Guiyun held a wedding at their uncle's house. What made them happy was that the uncle actually took half a day out of his extremely busy work to attend the wedding, and the whole wedding process, the uncle and aunt were in good spirits. When taking wedding photos, the little couple smiled like flowers on their faces. My aunt quipped, "Look how happy they laughed, and we weren't so happy when we got married." "When eating wedding wine, everyone asks the bride and groom to talk about their love story. Uncle turned his face to his aunt and smiled and said, "If you want Sun Guiyun to talk about it first!."When we got married, didn't you talk about it first?Looking at the uncle who was talking and laughing, Sun Guiyun wished he could stay a little longer, but as soon as the chopsticks were put down, the uncle hurried to work. Fortunately, his aunt arranged for everyone to go boating in Beihai Park, and Sun Guiyun spent a happy day that he would never forget. The summer vacation was almost over, and Sun Guiyun was actively preparing for the start of classes, when suddenly the Iron and Steel Institute withdrew her relationship. It turned out that the prime minister felt that such a transfer was inappropriate and criticized the Iron and Steel Institute. Sun Guiyun left her uncle and aunt, left her husband, left Beijing, and returned to the small city of northern Jiangsu. In other people, they may not be able to turn around for a while, but Sun Guiyun went back happily. When the prime minister heard about it, he couldn't help but nodded: "Sun Guiyun is a very reasonable person. ”
A year later, Zhou Erhui was also transferred back from Beijing to teach in Huai'an County Middle School, and their small family was settled in the old house of the Zhou family in Huai'an Horse Lane. In the summer of 1964, Sun Guiyun went to Beijing to visit his uncle and aunt. It just so happened that there were many nephews and nieces in Beijing, so the prime minister took two noons to tell you about his family history. In telling the family history, the prime minister evaluated the Huai'an Zhou family, a feudal and declining bureaucratic family, with a thoroughly materialistic attitude. At the beginning of 1965, he made the decision to clean up the old tablets, couplets and bury the ancestral graves in the old house. The specific task of undertaking these things naturally falls on the hostess of the Zhou family's old house, Sun Guiyun. To be honest, Zhou Guiyun was reluctant to do it. The old house of the Zhou family was built for nearly 100 years, and after the liberation, it has been decayed, and it was simply repaired in 1959, but it has not changed its dilapidated appearance. She wants to fix the house, not ......
However, she still went all out to complete her uncle's decision. She invited her younger brother, and the two of them cleared the shrines dedicated to the ancestral tablets one by one, as well as the couplets of "five volts in front of the hall and more than three under the steps", so that the old house was much brighter. It is easy to clear the couplet, but the difficult thing is to bury the ancestral grave deeply. When the news spread that the Zhou family was going to dig the ancestral grave, many villagers did not understand, they said: "The prime minister has become such a big official, which means that this ancestral tomb has good feng shui, and it must not be moved!."Sun Guiyun patiently explained to them: "Feng Shui is a superstitious thing, isn't it good to bury the grave and expand the cultivated land?""On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Lunar New Year in 1965, when every household in Huai'an City chopped meat and wine, set off firecrackers, and celebrated the Spring Festival with joy, Sun Guiyun led more than a dozen people to dig up the ancestral grave, and a total of 11 coffins, including the premier's grandfather, grandmother, and mother, dug deep and buried them, making the grave mound flat. She also paid off the loss of seedlings and other expenses caused by the flat grave according to her uncle's instructions, and everything was done properly. When the news reached Beijing, the prime minister was very happy, thinking of Sun Guiyun's usual pungent and hearty personality, he said with a smile: "Sun Guiyun is our Zhou family's 'Li Shuangshuang'." ”
When Zhou Erhui and Sun Guiyun got married, Sister Deng explained to them: "Don't have children in the first year of your marriage, it's best to have two in the future. In 1963, their eldest son, Zhou Ji, was born. In the summer of the second year, Sun Guiyun went to Beijing with his children in his arms. Soon after arriving at the West Flower Hall, when the prime minister came home from work, as soon as he entered the house, he saw Xiao Ji, who was less than a year old, crawling on the ground, and he happily picked up the child. The prime minister liked this little grandson very much, he patiently played with the child, and kissed and kissed the child's little face. 10 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and in the summer of 1974, Sun Guiyun took 11-year-old Zhou Ji and 9-year-old second son Zhou Ming to Beijing. The two children grew up, but the beloved uncle fell ill due to overwork. Sun Guiyun wanted to meet his uncle and learn about his condition, but when he arrived at the West Flower Hall, he learned that his uncle was in the hospital and had not been home for a long time. On the night of August 1, there was a sudden rustle of cars outside, and after a while, the uncle, who had been thinking about it all day and night, walked in.
Uncle!Sun Guiyun's eyes were moist. To her great relief, although the uncle had lost a little weight, he couldn't see much sickness, and his eyes were still so bright. The prime minister found Zhou Ji first, his eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand: "Well, we are old acquaintances." Then, when he saw Zhou Ming again, he immediately squatted down: "Hello, have you seen grandpa?""Yes. Zhou Ming's dark eyes flashed, "I've seen it in the movie." "Is Grandpa like in the movies?"Like. The Prime Minister laughed. Then, I don't know who proposed: "Xiao Ji can sing Peking Opera, welcome to a section." The Prime Minister also clapped his hands and welcomed everyone. 11-year-old Xiao Ji was very generous, and immediately stood in the house**, raised his voice and sang an excerpt from "Red Lantern": "The children of the poor are in charge early." "The children of the poor are in charge of the house early", the prime minister seemed to be touched, and repeated this sentence twice. He praised Xiao Ji's good voice, and then talked with everyone for a while. The secretary winked at Sun Guiyun: "The prime minister hasn't been so happy for a long time." I really didn't expect that on the evening of August 1, it was the last time Sun Guiyun saw his uncle. But to her consolation, when his uncle was seriously ill, the two children gave him joy and had perhaps the most enjoyable night since he was hospitalized.
On January 8, 1976, ** left us forever. Begonia flowers bloom, and great men are still there. The prime minister never used his power to seek the slightest personal gain for his relatives, friends or himself, and he has been spotless all his life, winning the heartfelt love of the people. Zhou Erhui, Sun Guiyun and their children worked diligently, studied diligently, and Xi for the great motherland in accordance with the premier's legacy, just like millions of ordinary working people.
