Chapter 72 4. Li Meiqun knelt down in front of her mother-in-law and kowtowed three times. If she is worthy of the revolution, she will be sorry for herself and her family

Xiao Quanlie's crying awakened Li Meiqun from his memories. She learned her lesson, overcame great difficulties, and finally passed on a "post" to her second husband, Ni Zhishan, but now she feels that it is completely wrong.With one more person, there will be a series of new troubles and new pains. As a rural woman, Li Meiqun can fully understand her mother-in-law's reprimand, knowing that her mother-in-law's reprimand is for her own good.However, just because she stood out from a rural woman to become a cadre in the Soviet area, Li Meiqun compared the meaning of life between the two.

This is a different life!She wanted to open her mouth to debate a few times, but she hesitated to speak. In this world, Li Meiqun could face anyone calmly, but she couldn't face her mother-in-law calmly.Her sharp teeth can convince many people, but she can't convince herself when facing her mother-in-law. The disaster she caused to her mother-in-law was too heavy. The mother-in-law is a widow's child, and has gone through untold hardships.Her two sons were both mobilized by herself to serve as soldiers and sacrificed one after another.In the blink of an eye, the mother-in-law became a widow.Li Meiqun remarried and became pregnant. According to local customs, she could not return to her natal family to give birth. Ni Zhishan was a foreigner. When she was embarrassed, her elderly and frail mother-in-law accepted her. Day and night, she took care of her childbirth and confinement.The mother-in-law's hard work has not yet come to an end, how can I ask her to take care of the child!It is right for a mother-in-law to scold herself, as long as she wants to scold, she has the right to scold.She scolded, but also for her own good, for the good of the child!Even so, Li Meiqun couldn't look back.As the mother-in-law said, she has been "fascinated".

For many days, she examined herself and the land. Once a peasant has participated in the revolution, he cannot return to his former ignorance. Suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes approaching from far away, and the child who had finally fallen asleep was startled awake and started crying again. Li Meiqun unbuttoned his clothes, stuffed the nipple into the child's mouth, and walked out of the room. The correspondent of the Provincial Party Committee led the horse, walked into the yard, and shouted: "Minister Li, Minister Li!" Seeing that it was the correspondent, Meiqun let her in, and her mother-in-law hurried out to give up her seat and pour tea.

The correspondent said: "Minister, the situation is quite urgent. Secretary Li sent me to pick you up." At this time, the bay red horse tied under the tree in the yard raised its red mane and let out a long whistle.Li Meiqun became excited, her blood was surging in her heart, she said to the correspondent: "Let's go, let's go now!" As she spoke, she carried the child on her back and lifted the burden.Unexpectedly, before she got on the horseback, the child on her back started crying loudly. Correspondent: "Mr. Li, how can this work?" The mother-in-law said: "Yes, the child is too young, little comrade, please go back and explain to Secretary Li, let Meiqun stay at home for a longer time." "Aunt, Secretary Li and Minister Cai has also gone to the front line..." The correspondent hesitated to speak.

The mother-in-law asked incredulously: "Is it Minister Cai who lived in my house and asked the doctor to cure my rheumatism?" The correspondent carried the quilt and luggage and said to Li Meiqun: "Minister Li, you come to carry the quilt and luggage. Come to carry a child, I can carry a child, I have carried a child since I was 6 years old." When the mother-in-law saw her, she stomped her feet anxiously, sighed, and said, "Oh my God, what a crime, give the child to me!" The roar of the engine, the horses in the yard kicked their front hooves and neighed.Li Meiqun no longer hesitated, knelt down in front of her mother-in-law with a "plop", kowtowed three times, and shouted in a choked voice: "Mom, take care, your wife is not filial and can't take care of your elderly. I will entrust the whole list to you, please." Give her to a kind family!" The mother-in-law took the child with tears in her eyes, and Zhong Quanlie, who was not yet full moon, burst into tears, as if she knew that this was the farewell between mother and daughter, and she cried like a knife piercing her heart.

Li Meiqun turned around involuntarily, wanting to feed the baby again and kiss the baby's little face again, but she was afraid that her determination would be shaken, so she struggled with her weak body and turned around to get on the horse.She cruelly whipped the horse's back and galloped away... She's on her way. The dust and smoke billowed, and she never came back after she left.
