Younger sister, seeing her brother for the first time, married to the deputy commander of the Rocket Army
In December 1935, the Red Army completed the feat of the 25,000-mile Long March and successfully arrived in northern Shaanxi, which was undoubtedly a milestone historical event for all the Red Army officers and men.
And for the Propaganda Minister of the Red First Army, while completing the Long March, he also received good news that he had added a sister to his hometown, which doubled his joy, because this sister was 31 years younger than him!
**, this name is undoubtedly familiar to people in Guang'an, Sichuan. He was born into a merchant family, and his father, Deng Shaochang, married four wives, one of whom was his stepmother, Xia Bogen.
Deng Xianqun, this name sounds a little familiar, she is the daughter of Deng Shaochang and Xia Bogen, and she is also the younger sister of ***. However, Deng Xianqun's childhood was not smooth.
After the death of her father, her mother took on the burden of the family on her own, and her thin body took on the heavy housework. In this environment, "the children of the poor are in charge of the house early", and Deng Xianqun learned to help his mother with household chores at the age of four.
As Deng Xianqun grew up, she began to get in touch with the outside world, and she also knew that she had a big brother who fought for the hardworking people of the world-*
The news made her both proud and a little scared. However, she began to feel frightened when she saw a group of guerrillas with guns coming to her home, one of whom was also seriously wounded.
However, her mother told her, "Don't be afraid, they are the same people as your eldest brother." This sentence made Deng Xianqun respect these people and no longer feel afraid. Although Deng Xianqun's childhood was full of hardships, she always firmly believed that as long as she fought for the people like her eldest brother, she would definitely be able to create a better future.
With wisdom and courage, his mother protected the wounded guerrillas, allowing them to hide in their haystacks, and asked Deng Xianqun to consult a doctor. Although the meal was ready, the guerrillas refused to eat because of guilt, and the mother told them to eat in peace with white lies.
However, this lie left Deng Xianqun's family facing hunger for several days. In order to protect them, Schabben came up with an ingenious way to let the partisans hide their ** in their farming tools and escort them safely through the enemy's outposts.
It wasn't until Chongqing was liberated by Liu Deng's army that Deng Xianqun and his mother were able to meet their long-admired eldest brother. ** was deeply grateful to her stepmother Xia Bogen for her hard work for the Deng family for many years, and invited her to live with her sister and go to Beijing together.
** Concerned about her sister's studies, she was placed in Beijing Experimental Middle School, which is a school with a very high level of teaching. ** Always encourage your sister to study hard.
Deng Xianqun worked very hard and was finally admitted to the famous Harbin Military Engineering College. In the Kazakh military industry, Deng Xianqun not only completed his studies, but also met the love of his life - Li Qianming.
After graduation, together they entered the 2nd Artillery Corps and became colleagues. Therefore, the marriage of the two was also put on the agenda. **After hearing about it, he specially invited them to his home, and was very satisfied with his future brother-in-law Li Qianming, so he asked Zhuo Lin to help prepare the newlywed bed sheets and some daily necessities.
After Deng Xianqun and Li Qianming returned to the army, they held a simple wedding, and only bought two catties of candy and one catty of tea to entertain the guests. ** I was also very satisfied, and also humorously said to my wife: "This is very good, and the children's marriage will be done like this in the future!" ”
Later, this simple way of marriage became known as the "Deng family model".
After that movement, ** was wrongly criticized, and Deng Xianqun and her husband were also forced to go to rural Hubei to undergo reform. Before parting, Deng Xianqun entrusted his 4-year-old son to his 11-year-old daughter and taught her how to live independently and take care of each other.
It wasn't until *** went out of the mountain again that Deng Xianqun and her husband returned to Beijing and reunited with their children. However, the good times did not last long, ** was defeated again, and Deng Xianqun also prepared for the worst, sewed a 10 yuan and 10 catties of food stamps into a cotton coat, handed it to his daughter, and told her: "If you can't wait for your parents to come back, go to your uncle." ”
In 1976, with the end of that movement, Deng Xianqun's family also ushered in spring. Later, Deng Xianqun was transferred to the General Political Department and served as the head of the Mass Work Department, while Li Qianming continued to stay in the Second Artillery Corps and served as deputy commander of the Second Artillery Corps.
Deng Xianqun was awarded the rank of major general, and Li Qianming was awarded the rank of major general in 1988 and lieutenant general in 1993.
The Second Artillery Corps, as a unique strategic nuclear strike force of our army, has always been highly respected. In 1991, ** inscribed the military journal "Rocket Soldier Daily" for the Second Artillery, which is one of the few inscriptions, and it was also realized by Li Qianming by virtue of his brother-in-law's identity many times.
Today, although Li Qianming and Deng Xianqun are old, their love story is still moving. Every time Li Qianming called his wife's name, Deng Xianqun would shout "to" loudly like when he was young, and stand up and salute, so that the family laughed constantly, warm and harmonious.
