In 1949, ** and Lin Boqu finally found their long-lost child with the help of the organization.
**。But many years later, ** found that Lin Boqu's son looked very similar to himself, and his wife also found the same problem, they realized that they might have made a mistake back then, and his wife wanted to change it back, but ** said: "No need, they are all descendants of the revolution, don't change it!" ”
Fan Yide has been very entangled in his birthday since he was a child, and his mother said that he was born in 1934, but she could not tell how many dates in October it was. Whenever he wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, his mother always used other words to divert his attention.
At the age of nine, Fan Yide entered the academy. He remembers that his family was very poor at that time, and he could not save food all year round, and his parents always kept the best for him. His parents have never been to school in his life, and he can't read a few big characters, but they very much hope that he can develop a reputation through school.
So, despite the poverty of his family, his parents enrolled him in school. He remembered that the tuition fee was a load of grain, which was equivalent to half a year's food for the family. My father was in the rice noodle business at the time, and he got up before dawn to work every day, and stood on the street selling at dawn. No matter whether it is cold or warm in winter or summer, cold and sick, not a day has fallen.
Fan Yide felt sorry for his parents and cried and said, "I don't go to school anymore." To this, my father always said, "You don't have to worry about tuition, you just need to study." Fan Yide took these words to heart, and from then on, he had no distractions and concentrated on reading. His grades are among the top among children of the same age, others praise him for being smart, and his parents' faces seem to be stained.
But when he was 11 years old, the sudden death of his father brought a lot of blows to Fan Yide's family, and his desire to make a name for himself by studying was completely shattered.
After the death of his father, the burden of the family fell on his mother alone. Her mother was sick all the year round, and Fan Yide couldn't bear her to work, so she dropped out of school on her own initiative. When my mother found out, she was very sad, but she was helpless.
Without a life, Fan Yide went to a shoe factory to learn art and became a child laborer. Fan Yide has to get up at 5 o'clock in the morning every day, and the first thing he does is to empty the urinal and brush the toilet for the boss, and then he has to go up the mountain to chop wood and carry water, and he can't stop all day.
The living conditions are also extremely poor, not only do they not have enough to eat, but they also can't sleep well at night. There are many other children at his age, everyone sleeps together, sometimes they can't even cover the quilt in the winter, and they are bitten by mosquitoes in the summer, and their lives are miserable.
Fan Yide said: "Where is a free labor, can you learn the craft?" But he couldn't help his mother when he went back, so he could only stay in the shoe factory as a child laborer. In this way, Fan Yide worked in the shoe factory for several years.
Once, because Fan Yide was not as tall as a flat shoulder and a bucket, when he was trying hard to carry the water steps, he accidentally tripped and fell down the steps, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't get off the ground for several days. His mother was very distressed and decided to let him go home, unwilling to let him stay alive or dead.
Fortunately, under the care of his mother, Fan Yide recovered fairly quickly and did not leave any sequelae.
In 1949, when Huichang was liberated, the people of the whole country were celebrating, but Fan Yide found that his mother was full of sadness. He asked his mother worriedly what was wrong, but she just shook her head, sighed and returned to the room. Fan Yide didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
The next day, Fan Yide was just about to go out when his mother in the house called out: "Yide, I have something to tell you." His mother's expression was solemn, as if she was going to discuss something important with him, and Fan Yide felt a little worried, and he was sitting precariously waiting for his mother's next words.
The mother slowly leaned back in the chair, her eyes were slightly blue and her eyes were slightly red, she stretched out her old hands to hold Fan Yide's, and said in a trembling voice: "Child, there is one thing I have to say, no matter what I say, you are not too excited. ”
Fan Yide nodded, and his mother slightly pursed her lips to tell the story of a separation and death more than ten years ago.
In 1934, before the Red Army began the Long March, it was decided that in order not to affect the operation, only some of the Red Army's family members could follow, and the children should stay. ** Comrade's lover Huang Xiuxiang had just given birth to a son, who was handed over to his comrade-in-arms Lin Boqu's wife Fan Lechun to raise, and left in a hurry.
At this time, Fan Lechun had just given birth to a baby boy, she wrapped the two children in cloth, and rode a horse from Ruijin to Huichang late at night. Fan Lechun's cousins Fan Meihong and Guo Fazai live in Huichang, and Fan Lechun begged them to raise their two children**, and they will definitely come to find them in the future.
Fan Meihong couldn't afford to raise two children, so he gave one of the children in good health to a couple of childless and daughterless Lai Zhaozhi and Mangu couple, and named it Lai Pingya. And Fan Meihong left behind a child in poor health, named Fan Yide.
Fan Yide's eyes widened in disbelief, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he didn't expect that his father Fan Meihong, who had worked hard to provide for his schooling, was actually his adoptive father, and his mother Guo Fazai was his adoptive mother.
Guo Fazai said: "You are the son of the Red Army. Now that Huichang is liberated, if your biological parents are still alive, they will definitely come back to look for you. When the time comes, go with them! ”
His mother's words were like thunder, which deeply stimulated Fan Yide, and he couldn't believe that he was actually the son of the Red Army. Are the biological parents still alive? Will they come to him? Van Yide is also unclear.
In 1949, Huichang was liberated. Ever since Fan Yide learned from his mother that he was actually a child of the Red Army, he had been imagining what his biological parents would look like in his mind, but he never wanted to leave his mother.
After hearing the news of the liberation of Jiangxi, the *** who worked in Wuhan missed his long-lost son even more. He wrote to Chen Renlin, a fellow villager stationed in Ganzhou, asking him to help find him and Lin Boqu's children.
Lin Boqu. In addition to a letter, ** provided some clues and sent his own ** over as a reference. In fact, he asked someone to find the child as early as after Japan's surrender, but the fellow was not sure whether the person who came to recognize the child was a Communist Party or a Kuomintang spy, and no one was willing to disclose the child's information, so it became very difficult to find it.
One day, the people of Huichang County ** came to a soldier carrying a briefcase. The soldier took out a letter and a ** from his briefcase and said, "I was instructed by my superiors to come here to ask for help from **." Comrade Lin Boqu and Comrade *** have lost two children in Huichang County, and they hope that ** can help find them. ”
A few days later, the staff found Fan Yide's home according to the clues provided by ***. Fan Yide didn't want to leave at first, but his mother said, "You go!" Your biological parents must miss you very much, don't worry about me, I'm fine. Under the persuasion of his mother, Fan Yide could only follow the staff.
According to Fan Yide's mother's identification, the staff found another boy, Lai Pingya.
After Lai Pingya was adopted by Lai Zhaozhi and his wife, who had no children and no daughters, she was also regarded as a treasure in the palm of her hand. Helplessly, his family was poor, so he could only let 5-year-old Lai Pingya go to herd sheep, but the mountain road was rugged, Lai Pingya did not stand firm and fell down the hill and broke a leg. Lai Zhaozhi and his wife felt very sorry for their son, and took him around to seek medical treatment, although the leg injury was cured, but he always walked a little lame.
Fan Yide and Lai Yaping were sent to Wuhan together, and ** and his current wife Chen Lan warmly entertained the two children. **Ask the staff: "Which of these two children is surnamed Deng?" At this time, the leader of the battlefield also became cramped at this time, and asked cautiously. The staff pointed to Lai Pingya and said, "Chief, he is your child, and Fan Yide is the son of Chief Lin Boqu." ”
**happily hugged Lai Pingya into his arms, and the feeling of being lost and regained was indescribable. That night, ** sent this good news to Lin Boqu of the ** Politburo. When Lin Boqu heard the news, he happily didn't close his eyes all night.
**。At that time, **'s wife Chen Lan felt that Fan Yide looked more like Deng Lao, and asked to do a blood test for the children first, but *** did not agree. **Said: "Pingya has not had a good life since he was a child, he is lame at a young age, even if he is not my biological flesh and blood, I will raise him." Don't mention it to anyone. ”
** Insist that people recognize Lai Pingya as their son and change his name to Deng Susheng.
In 1950, Fan Yide was sent to Beijing, and Lin Boqu and his wife Zhu Ming saw that Fan Yide was very thin and hungry and malnourished. The teenage young man looked like a preschool child, Lin Boqu was very distressed, touched Fan Yide's head and said lovingly: "Child, you have suffered." I am your father. ”
Fan Yide looked at Lin Boqu's wife Zhu Ming and asked, "Are you my mother?" Zhu Ming said distressedly: "I am not your mother, your biological mother's name is Fan Lechun, she has died during the war years." It turned out that after Huang Xiuxiang sent the child away, she died heroically, and Fan Lechun also suffered from lung disease and died soon after.
But I can be a good mother to you and take care of you. Zhu Ming said softly to Fan Yide. Fan Yide nodded obediently. Although Fan Yide was thin, he was very capable, and Lin Boqu liked him very much, so he renamed him Lin Bingsu.
In 1953, as the vice premier, the family moved from Wuhan to Zhongnanhai, and Lin Bingsu also lived in Zhongnanhai with Lin Boqu, and the two families who had not seen each other for many years lived together again.
And whenever the two children come back from school, they will gather together to eat in the canteen where the leaders of the ** are eating, and after a long time, the leaders of Zhongnanhai have known these two children. But **, wait for the leader to see the problem at once.
One day, **Looking at Lin Bingsu running around, the more he looked at it, the more he looked like ***, so he asked*** Did you two admit that you were wrong, Bingsu and you were carved out of the same mold. Then, ** asked Lin Bingsu jokingly: "Whose cub are you?" ”
In the evening, **'s wife proposed to exchange the two children back, but ** said: "There is no need, they are all descendants of the revolution, don't change them!" ”is a selfless Communist Party member, and he doesn't think it matters whether Lin Bingsu is his child or not, as long as the child is doing well.
** did not care about who was his son, but in order to find out the truth, ** the general office sent someone to Huichang to check again. The staff found Lin Bingsu's adoptive mother, Guo Fazai, and asked again, and then they figured out the truth.
It turned out that after Guo Fazai and her husband Fan Meihong sent Lai Pingya away, they felt sorry for their cousin, and in order to appease Fan Lechun's heroic spirit, they agreed to say that Fan Yide was Lin Boqu's son.
Maybe *** also knows who is his son in the end, but he has never had the idea of changing his son.
On the first day of the first lunar month in 1954, the whole country was immersed in the lively atmosphere of New Year's celebration, and every family sat together to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Lin Boqu took Lin Bingsu to ***'s home, and Lin Bingsu politely greeted ***: "Uncle Deng, Happy New Year!" ”
**happily took out a handful of candy from his pocket, stuffed it into Lin Bingsu's hand and said, "Bingsu is a good boy, Lin Lao is very well educated." Lin Boqu said modestly: "* I have come this time to discuss something with you. Lin Boqu pulled *** aside and said mysteriously.
What's up? Lin Boqu's expression suddenly became serious, his thumb kept pressing his index finger, and he seemed to be a little confused about how to open his mouth. **Seeing this, he also became serious.
"**Someone from the office came to my house yesterday and said something. Bingsu is indeed your child, and Su Sheng is my child. * seems to have known about this for a long time, and has not kept silent. Lin Boqu also said: "I came today in the hope of being able to explain the situation of the two children to them and see what they mean. ”
**。Completely understood what Lin Boqu meant, nodded, called out Deng Susheng, who was eating in the house, and walked into the living room hand in hand. Lin Boqu looked at the two young men of the same age and said, "You are all 20 today!" They've all grown into adults. ”
Lin Boqu sighed and said: "Time flies so fast, so many years have passed. Today, Deng Lao and I want to explain to you a historical situation, and then you need to make your own choice. ”
The two children looked at each other, unforgiving. Lin Boqu said again: "After re-verification, Lin Bingsu should be the son of Deng Lao." Deng Su gave birth to you, your child. This fact came so suddenly that the two children couldn't react.
Lin Boqu.
Seeing the reaction of the two children, ** then said: "I want to make it clear to you today that I want you to have the right to know, and it is also our responsibility and wish as parents." Now that you have grown up, you have the freedom to choose independently, you can follow whoever you want, and your name is just a symbol, it is up to you to change it or not! ”
"But you must not forget your father and mother, and remember them forever. As revolutionaries, our responsibility is to train you to be the best people in the revolutionary cause, you are the descendants of the Party, the descendants of the Red Army, not private property, you are all the children of the people! ”After these words, Lin Bingsu and Deng Susheng looked at each other, and they both secretly made up their minds in their hearts. The truth was revealed, and everyone thought that the two children would recognize their ancestors and change their names, but neither of the two children did so, but just returned to their biological fathers.
Lin Boqu took a group photo with his children, grandchildren and relatives.
and Lin Boqu have lived in Zhongnanhai for a long time, and their relationship is also very strong, plus the two children have a constant relationship, the adults of the two families love these two children very much, treat them as their own, and do not cause disputes because of their life experience.
In 1957, after graduating from high school, Lin Bingsu applied for the physics department of Beijing Normal University, but hoped that he could study agriculture. But when Lin Bingsu received the admission letter from Normal University, ** didn't say anything.
At that time, Lin Bingsu didn't understand the good intentions of ***, only that his father was a soldier who loved farmers very much. He could often see his father helping the people who had contributed to the revolution in the past, and he would not hesitate to take those who came to Beijing to live at home.
In 1960, the country entered a difficult period, and many people did not have enough to eat. **Led the whole family to visit the Sichuan clay sculpture "Rent Collection Courtyard" exhibited in Beijing. Lin Bingsu remembers very clearly that when his father passed by a statue of a girl with a straw marker, he actually shed tears.
After that, ** said to his family: "Chinese farmers are the most honest, we must love and cherish them." ”At this time, Lin Bingsu understood his father's good intentions in letting him choose agriculture as a major.
Under the influence of ***, Lin Bingsu understood the right and wrong, right and wrong of many things, and gradually understood his father's spiritual comprehension, and he resolutely changed his name to Deng Ruisheng. Father is right, the name is a symbol, and the name "Deng Ruisheng" is a continuation of his father's spirit.
After graduating from college, Deng Ruisheng brought a classmate named Gao Songxiu home and proudly said to ***"Dad, you and Lin Lao often tell us, 'The children of cadres should not get together all the time, because they will be separated from the masses, and they must be combined with the workers and peasants!'" I'm going to bring you back a daughter-in-law today, and she's a farmer's daughter!" ”
Deng Ruisheng and Lin Susheng.
Although Deng Ruisheng is a descendant of leading cadres, he has always lived the life of ordinary people, and he has perfectly inherited his father's spirit and regarded the development of agriculture as the top priority in his life. Even after retirement, he still has to do something as much as he can, he said: "I want to participate in poverty alleviation work, and I also want to engage in the promotion and ...... of agricultural science and technology."”
