It is precisely because of the inheritance of the red family style that the children and descendants of the founding generals have maintained a hard and simple style, and they have mixed the hard and simple style into every bit of life. Because of this family style, they never use the public car in their lives, and they never have any sense of privilege in their hearts, which is the influence of the hard and simple red family style on them.
Chen Xiaolu's family photo.
It is hard to imagine that the marshal's son actually wore an old-fashioned shirt for several years, and did not wear new clothes when he was a student, and he picked up the leftover clothes worn by his two elder brothers, and it was even more unimaginable that he spent 16 yuan for two years in the army, and this 16 yuan only bought daily necessities such as soap and towels, and an old military uniform was worn for a year, washed and yellowed, yellow and washed. In his later years, he recalled that it was all his father who passed on to him, and the hard and simple family style influenced his life! Who is he? He is Chen Xiaolu, the youngest son of the ** marshal.
Chen Xiaolu was born in the liberated area of Shandong, but he was "disliked" by his mother as soon as he was born, so his mother threw him out of the door and jokingly said: I don't want this child, whoever wants it will pick it up! Why? The reason is that their family had given birth to two boys before, and the mother's third child was eager to give birth to a girl, but she didn't expect that the third child in the family was still a boy. So Chen Xiaolu's mother Zhang Qian threw him at the gate, and later, under the repeated persuasion of the eldest sisters in the compound, the mother relented and took Chen Xiaolu home again.
This name was given to him by his father Mr. Chen, the meaning of the word "Xiao Lu" lies in the Confucian classic "Mencius": Climb East Mountain and Xiao Lu, Mount Tai and small world, the background at that time was that the People's Liberation Army was in a balance of power with the Kuomintang army on the battlefield in Shandong, Mr. Chen hoped that the birth of his son could bring good luck to the People's Liberation Army, and also hoped that his youngest son: to the point of profound knowledge and to be able to understand and be far-sighted.
Mr. Chen has been strict with Chen Xiaolu since he was a child, and Mr. Chen always said that the red family style of the communists is hard and simple, and they insist on self-reliance and serving the people. Chen Xiaolu was never allowed to sleep lazy, Chen Xiaolu was in bed when he was a child, but he didn't expect his father Mr. Chen to run to his room and pull him out of the bed, and said to him sternly: Sleep lazy at a young age, what will be the future of you?
Since he was a child, his father taught Chen Xiaolu to give full play to the hard and simple style of the People's Liberation Army, and taught the three brothers (plus the younger sister who was born later): You must not have any bad style of cadres. The brothers all took the bus to school, and even the clothes and schoolbags, Chen Xiaolu picked up the clothes that his two brothers didn't use. An old-fashioned shirt with an old and big style, Chen Xiaolu wore it for two or three years, and he didn't even wear a watch before high school.
My father always told them stories about the hardships and simplicity of the Red Army and the New Fourth Army, and the arduous and simple style was also passed down by their brothers. In his eyes, his father never bothered the public and the organization in his life.
When Chen Xiaolu was a teenager, his father Mr. Chen liked to teach him to play Go, because the hobby of the ** marshal was to play Go, at first Chen Xiaolu couldn't play his father, and then he frantically studied Go games, with the continuous improvement of his Go skills, his father was not his opponent at first, and every time he played against him, he relied on regret chess.

Chen Xiaolu's academic performance has always been good, but in the third year of high school, when he encountered a special period of ten years, Chen Xiaolu's dream of the college entrance examination was shattered, and with the development of the situation, his father Mr. Chen was also affected by a lot of impact. Later, at the suggestion of the prime minister, Chen Xiaolu chose to join the army and chose to train himself in the army.
In fact, in the eyes of his father, Mr. Chen, he never wanted Chen Xiaolu to be a soldier, he hoped to choose the future according to Chen Xiaolu's own preferences, but changes are always faster than planned. Chen Xiaolu successfully enlisted in the army under the arrangement of the prime minister and others. On the day he left the army, Chen Xiaolu came to his father in a brand-new green military uniform, and his father looked at him and smiled slightly, as if he saw his heroic appearance back then, and instructed his son a few words. But the mother Zhang Qian was not worried about her son, so she gave Chen Xiaolu 100 yuan, but two years later, Chen Xiaolu only used 16 yuan.
The environment in which Chen Xiaolu served as a soldier was deserted, and it was all saline-alkali land, and the living conditions were very difficult, but Chen Xiaolu kept in mind the red family style of hardship, simplicity and self-reliance, and rushed to do all the dirty work in the army. Because in his opinion, only by constantly sharpening and improving himself, no matter how hard and tired he is, he must adhere to the family style of self-reliance, so that he can stand higher and see further. In addition, his father, Mr. Chen, gave him the biggest red family style is positive and optimistic, and his father once wrote in the face of difficult and hard revolutionary years, "What does the severed head mean today?" Starting a business is difficult and there are many battles. I went to Quantai to recruit the old department, and I raised the banner of 100,000 to kill Yama", which is full of revolutionary optimism. Revolutionary optimism and hardship and simplicity are the biggest red family style that his father gave Chen Xiaolu, giving him the courage to overcome the difficult environment in front of him.

I don't know why Chen Xiaolu has not been officially established for the first two years of his military service, and he believes that the matter will be resolved one day! In the past two years, he has been wearing the military uniform that he has just gotten out of the army, washed and yellowed, yellowed and washed, before he left home, his mother gave him 100 yuan, he only used 16 yuan, or buy soap, laundry detergent and other daily necessities. When the comrades-in-arms saw Chen Xiaolu being so hard and simple, they thought that he was the son of a peasant family, but none of the comrades-in-arms thought that he was the son of a marshal. Later, Chen Xiaolu's performance in the army became better and better, and the leaders of the army gave him the official establishment of the army and promoted him, but the company never knew Chen Xiaolu's true identity.
When he saw his father's old and thin face again, Chen Xiaolu didn't know that only a few years later, his father, who had always been elegant, was so old and old by the disease. He walked quickly to his father's bed, held his father's hand tightly, and when his father saw his heroic appearance, as if he had seen his golden iron horse years, his father smiled with relief. At the dinner table, his father, Mr. Chen, encouraged Chen Xiaolu to work hard in the army and strive to contribute to the country and the people's army. After the meal, he once again accompanied his father to play Go. Chen Xiaolu returned to the army, and his father wrote him a word: hard work. He knew that his father wanted him to inherit the red family style. After returning to the army, Chen Xiaolu worked hard in the army according to his father's instructions. What he didn't expect was that half a year later, his father's condition deteriorated further, and when he saw his father again, his father passed away regrettably before he had time to explain what happened. His father only left him a picture of Go as his last thoughts.
As the saying goes: Misfortune is not a one-way street, and my mother will die three years later. Within three years, Chen Xiaolu lost his parents and was very sad, but fortunately, a kind and beautiful girl came into his world.
This girl's name is Su Huining, and she is also the daughter of General Su Yu. Su Huining brought him the unique tenderness between lovers and the warmth of home, they also watched movies like many lovers at that time, Chen Xiaolu also came to Su Huining's house from time to time, helped Su Huining's mother do housework, and talked about military affairs with his father-in-law Su Yu. In the end, the two became husband and wife with everyone's blessing, and it can be regarded as writing a new legend between the pair of Su Yu.
But Chen Xiaolu, who was serving as a colonel, originally had a great future, but suddenly made a decision that surprised everyone: resigned from the military and went to the sea to do business, everyone was against Chen Xiaolu's decision at that time, only his wife Su Huiling always supported her husband's decision. As for why he went to the sea to do business, Chen Xiaolu later made this explanation: I am not suitable for being an official, but I am still suitable for doing a little career, and I want to continue to challenge myself in the unknown field, and make my career bigger and stronger to give back to the society.
After years of hard work, Chen Xiaolu became an independent director of Jiangxi Changyun Co., Ltd., and in addition to working hard, he did not forget to contribute money and efforts to support the economic construction of the old revolutionary area. After retiring, he and his wife moved back to the old house left by his father-in-law Su Yu to spend their old age, and the two couples played the red family style of "hard work, simplicity and selfless dedication", and have always adhered to hard and simple life, donating the saved money to the old revolutionary base area and the children who can't afford to go to school, and have been giving back to the society with selfless dedication.
