Deng Hua and his wife Li Yuzhi.
Recently, the editorial department of Red Boat interviewed Deng Ying, the daughter of General Deng Hua, and listened to her talk about the influence of her parents on the family.
Deng Ying said: "Our parents taught us to be honest and honest, to do things carefully and carefully, and to rely on ourselves in everything. ”
Deng Ying, the daughter of the founding general Deng Hua.
When Deng Ying's siblings were a few young, General Deng Hua asked them to turn a small garden in front of their house into a vegetable field to grow vegetables. He did not allow his guards, cooks, and drivers to help, and the children were all responsible for plowing the ground, planting vegetables, loosening the soil, watering, and fertilizing. He did this in order to cultivate his children's concept of labor from an early age and tell them not to forget their roots.
From an early age, my mother taught us to be hard and simple." Deng Ying recalled. She still remembers that every Sunday, her mother would sew socks with her children. While teaching by example, Li Yuzhi will also tell the children: "It doesn't matter if your clothes are torn, as long as you wash them cleanly and dress them cleanly, others will not laugh at you." ”
In 1979, Deng Hua and his family were in Beijing.
Deng Ying said proudly: "I can step on the sewing machine, embroider pillows, and sew clothes, all of which my mother taught me. Deng Ying's sisters and brothers were deeply influenced by their mother, and until now, the clothes are worn in turns, and the clothes worn by the elder sister are then worn by the younger sister. She pointed to the sweater she was wearing and said, "My sister gave me this sweater." ”
My mother also often taught us to learn to be united, friendly, and help each other in our daily lives. Deng Ying said. She remembers that when she was a child, her family used to eat a dish called "steamed pumpkin". Once, when she was steaming a pumpkin, she removed the peel, and her mother saw it and said, "The peel is a good thing, you can't throw it away." Then, he told her about the past when she was in Yan'an, cultivating wasteland and planting pumpkins. At that time, there were no storage conditions, so the first troops ate the pumpkin meat, peeled off the pumpkin skin and dried it, and left it for the later troops to eat. Deng Ying often heard her mother say: "Pumpkin skin is a good thing, without the front army planting pumpkins for us to stay, we can't even eat pumpkin skins." ”
In 1979, General Deng Hua's family took a group photo at their residence in Beijing.
My mother was also very kind to people, and she said that everyone in the revolutionary ranks was equal, and there was no distinction between high and low. Deng Ying said.
Li Yuzhi is not only kind to her family, but also kind to the people around her. When Deng Hua's driver's lover and child are sick, she will help contact the doctor and hospitalization, and will also provide financial support. When she got older, she asked a nanny to take care of her, but she was afraid of troublesome nannies, so she tried her best to do many things by herself. Once, in order not to affect the babysitter's rest, I wanted to stand up, but I fell.
