Today is Tomb-sweeping Day. Old man Song is going to ancestral tomb to worship his father and is packing incense and candle offerings. Hong Mei, the new president of Shanhua Poetry Society, is here.
"Old Master Song!" Hong Mei carried a pocket of apples.
"Aren't you in class?" Old Man Song asked.
"Our first year of Qingming is on holiday ." Hong Mei responded and went to the kitchen and handed the apple to Grandma Song.
Lao Dingtou also came. Old Man Song asked: "Why are you here?"
"Can I not come to visit my uncle's grave?"
Hong Mei felt strange: "Aren't you all educated youths who were sent here? Why is Master Song's ancestral tomb here?
Old Dingtou said: "His hometown is here. He used to be a famous big landlord. There are fields around him for more than 20 miles, and the rent has been collected from Dahua Mountain. His home is in Hankou Concession . There are also shops. Lao Song’s father joined the underground party when he was studying at Nanjing , and later he fought guerrillas in Dabie Mountain. When Lao Song was sent to the educated youth, his father was still squatting in the cowshed. It was his father who let him go back to his hometown to cut the queue. Yes."
Hong Mei shook her head: "I don't understand that. Why did so many children from wealthy families participate in the revolution ? . This is too stupid, right? I really can't figure it out."
"Don't go too far. You don't come here specially for apples, right? Tell me if you have anything to do, I have to rush to the grave."
"It's a little bit, but it might not matter to you." Hong Mei handed over a piece of paper, "Look, these are two broken poems. A new member of the Poetry Society gave it to me. He asked me to ask. Can you fill in. I made a package at the time and said that Mr. Song is only a high-ranking man and can be waited for by horses.Isn't writing a poem a piece of cake?
Old Man Song took a look and his expression changed immediately: "Do you know whose broken poem this is? "
Hong Mei shook her head: "I don't know. He didn't say and I didn't ask. Don't you think it's just to complete the two residual poems, what a big deal? However, this verse has a great spirit. I am confident in my life for two hundred years, and I will be able to hit water for three thousand miles. "
Old Dingtou laughed loudly: "You really have caused a big problem for you, Master Song. This is a verse from the great man . Can he make up for it? You look too high on him too. "
Old Man Song smiled slightly: "It really gave me a big problem. But I just told them to think about everything and not to be superstitious. Don't be superstitious if you want to learn from great people. The reason why the great man is great is that he is good at uniting mortals to achieve a great cause, so that mortals become great men in the great cause. "
Old Dingtou pointed at Old Man Song: "You, you, you, I know you are arrogant, but I don't know how arrogant you are. Simply incomprehensible. No wonder your uncle wrote an inscription 'foolish and disturbing' for you, and I think you have to add a sentence of 'extremely arrogant'! "
Old man Song said to Hong Mei, "Old Dingtou and I go to the grave first." Anyway, you're on vacation today, so you'll stay at home with grandma and wait for us to come back for lunch. "
" I'll go with you too. Grandpa is a revolutionary martyr. I also have to worship with . This Qingming is also meaningful.
Old Man Song looked at Old Ding, who nodded, "Let her go." It is rare for a child to be filial. "
The ancestral tomb is only a mile away from home. It will be there soon. The three of them planted some new soil for the tomb, burned three sticks of incense and some paper money, and paid tribute. After the worship, they sat on the ground and the old man told Hong Mei. The story of Grandpa Song: "I said the stupid things you said to Grandpa Song just now when I was young.Back then, Old Man Song and I were in the same educated youth group. After Mr. Song came out of the cowshed, he was sent back to his hometown and taught in the middle school of the commune. It just so happened that I was also selected as a private teacher in school . Old Man Song is more knowledgeable than me, but his composition is also higher than mine. So the commune chose me instead of him. I live in the same dorm with my uncle. When I saw that he was cheerful all day long and taught very seriously, I laughed at him: 'You are too stupid, aren't you? What revolution did the landlord's young master do? It turned out to be a counter-revolution. I don't believe you really don't regret it. ' Guess what my uncle told me at the time? He said 'You think I'm going to regret it because you don't understand the past. The country is divided, there are bandits in the mountains, there are tyrants in the water and water, warlords scuffle , and local ruffians are rampant. The productivity is extremely backward, floods, droughts and insect pests year after year, sometimes several times a year. That is really Zhumen wine and meat stinking road has frozen bones. Every passionate young man is worried and anxious about the future of the nation. We came out for the revolution with the intention of liberating the people and the future of the nation. Don't we know that the revolution will eventually come to our own family? Leather to the head of a loved one? we know! Gouli's country lives and dies, how can it be avoided due to misfortune and good fortune? Do you know what the couplet of Whampoa Military Academy was in those days? If you are promoted and rich, go to other places; if you are greedy for life and fear death, do not enter the door. Horizontal criticism: The revolutionaries are coming. At that time, we joined the revolution with the belief of in mind and for the sake of the public. ' I really cried when I heard what my uncle said. I couldn't help but ask again, you have such a broad mind, why would they still persecute you? ! Uncle stroked my head and said, you are still too young. You do not understand. It is not easy for a revolution to break the law of cycles without giving up halfway. Revolution is to liberate the people. But the people themselves will make mistakes on the road to liberation.For the mistakes of the people, we can only wait patiently for them to wake up and correct them gradually without complaining and resentment. Otherwise, I've strayed from my original intention and returned to my personal position, . If you stand up for the revolution, you are prepared to suffer, even if you sacrifice your life. We should trust the masses and we should trust the party. This is by no means just lip service, it is an unshakable belief. I don't go to hell who goes to hell? You will understand later. Later generations will understand! "
Hong Mei turned to look at Old Man Song, only to see him secretly wiping his tears: "Master Song, are you crying? "
" how can there be. wind blown. Oh, I really finished the homework you gave me. Look, can you pass? "
The old man Song stood up and chanted loudly:
The tiger and the wolf ran to the people's hardships, and the Jin Mau was broken and trapped in the mud. When the water hits three thousand miles.
Gou is a fair fight in the world, what a pity to give up my head?
