The east is red, the sun rises, and China has a Mao Zedong, who seeks happiness for the people.He is the great savior of the people...

Majestic singing came from the cable radio in the corridor.Wake Li Jiansheng from his sweet sleep.At this time, he didn't have to look at the clock and knew that it was six o'clock in the morning and the district radio station started broadcasting.

Li Jiansheng's family lives in the city, in a dilapidated two-story residential building. There are more than 20 single rooms on each floor, each with a size of more than ten square meters. There is a corridor connecting the door to the door.

There are about thirty families living in the entire building.

Li Jiansheng's family of five were all crowded in a room of more than ten square meters.

Because the room was too small and there were too many people to live in, Li Jiansheng's father used his strengths of carpenters and built a small attic of several square meters in the space between three meters and one meter high. There was a floor in the attic. Li Jiansheng and his younger brother were asleep, his parents and a sister were sleeping on a large bed in the room.

In the remaining space in the room, there was a square table for eating, a kitchen, a pile of boxes for clothes, and a few benches, and there was no decent piece of furniture.

Li Jiansheng's father works as a carpenter in a collective enterprise under the Nancheng Railway Bureau. His monthly salary is only about 30 yuan. His mother is a housewife and has not started working. The whole family of five lives on his father's salary and lives a tight life.

Li Jiansheng’s three younger siblings in his family are the eldest.He has been smart and studious since childhood, and has always been among the best in class when he was studying.

When he graduated from junior high school, Li Jiansheng could have been admitted to high school and then went to college to continue his studies, but his parents considered the difficulties at home and wanted him to start working as soon as possible to reduce the pressure on his family. Therefore, he gave up his dream of going to college and was admitted to the Nancheng Railway Bureau Construction Engineering Technical School.

In August 1968, after graduating from the Construction Engineering Technical School of Nancheng Railway Bureau, Li Jiansheng was exactly 18 years old and was assigned to work in the Construction Brigade of the Construction Engineering Company of Nancheng Railway Bureau.

Today is the day when Li Jiansheng reported to the Sixth Brigade of the Construction Engineering Company of Nancheng Railway Bureau. He sat up from the floor of the attic, bent down and took a small wooden ladder standing on one side, walked down the attic, and prepared to go to the public kitchen downstairs, wash his face and brush his teeth from the water tank, and then went to the unit to report.

When Li Jiansheng walked into the kitchen, he saw his mother squatting in the kitchen with a coal ball stove. The thick smoke choked her mother and she burst into tears.

Li Jiansheng's mother is Liu Aixu. She is a man in his early forties. Because of his poor housework, his hair turned gray prematurely and his back was a little hunched.

mom!Li Jiansheng shouted in pain, pulled his mother out of the kitchen, then wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a towel that washed his face and said: So early, why did you go to the kitchen to have the next stove?

Liu Aixu looked at her son and said happily: You are going to report to the unit today, I will make breakfast for you.

Starting from today, my son started working and became an adult. He could make money for his family. My mother was happy for him!

Then I'll help you build the stove.Li Jiansheng turned around and went into the kitchen, took a broken fan, and stoked the coal ball stove.

During the four years Li Jiansheng studied in the technical school, except for going home on Sundays, he basically ate and lived in the school.

Although life was difficult at home, my mother saved money and had to find a way to give Li Jiansheng money for food and accommodation at school, which made Li Jiansheng feel very guilty.

Now that he is working, he wants to try his best to reduce the burden on his family and do more to his filial piety.

Seeing that the smoke on the coal ball stove was gone, Liu Aixu said to Li Jiansheng: Okay, you go back first, I will prepare breakfast immediately.

Shortly after Li Jiansheng returned home, Liu Aixu brought a large bowl of fried rice with eggs to Li Jiansheng and said with a smile: Jiansheng, eat.

Li Jiansheng was holding a large bowl of fried rice full of eggs, his eyes were moistened.

He knew that according to the national plan, a strong man like him had only a monthly amount of food of more than 30 kilograms and only half a kilogram of cooking oil, so there was not enough food at home.

In addition, my father only earns more than 30 yuan a month, and the family of five has not met the minimum living standard of eight yuan each.

It can be seen that this bowl of fried rice has condensed my mother's efforts and mother's love!

Child, eat quickly, and you can go to work after eating.Looking at Li Jiansheng with tears rolling in his eyes, his mother said in love.

Um.Li Jiansheng started to eat with tears in his mouth.

After eating your stomach.Li Jiansheng dressed up carefully.

He wore a half-new white cloth shirt on his upper body, a Chairman Mao seal hanging on his chest, and a pair of grass-green military trousers that were washed a little white. He carried an old military schoolbag on his shoulders and a red quote bag on his back. Two straps crossed on his chest, and his handsome face was red.

Seeing that he had become a big boy, Li Jiansheng, Liu Aixu helped flatten his clothes while saying earnestly: Child, when you get to work, you must work hard. The hope for our family lies with you!

Mom, don’t worry!Li Jiansheng said firmly: I must make a personal example!

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to go out.

Child, you wait.Liu Aixu suddenly called Li Jiansheng.

Li Jiansheng stopped, turned around and looked at his mother and asked: Mom, do you have something to do?

Liu Aixiao stroking and took out two quick dollars from her pocket, handed them to Li Jiansheng and said: You bring two dollars, and you can take a car on the road.

Mom, I have money.Li Jiansheng said: After I graduated, the school refunded my living expenses.

Looking at her mother who was almost crushed by life, Li Jiansheng couldn't bear to ask for her money anymore.

Take it with you, the poor family is rich, and you are away from home, maybe you need money when you need it.Liu Aixu forced the money into Li Jiansheng's hands.

Then I'll leave.After Li Jiansheng took the money, he said to his mother.

Go.Liu Aixu nodded and repeatedly reminded: Remember, you must listen to the leaders of the unit and work hard.

knew.

As he said that, Li Jiansheng went out excitedly and went to the Sixth Construction Brigade of the Construction Engineering Company of Nancheng Railway Bureau.

Li Jiansheng's home lives in the north of the city, while the Sixth Construction Brigade of the Nancheng Railway Bureau Construction Engineering Company is located in the south of the city, with the two places being more than ten miles apart.

It took about an hour to walk from Li Jiansheng's home to the unit.

Because my family is having a difficult time, I haven't bought a bicycle yet, and taking the bus to work at the office requires a cent.

In order to save money, Li Jiansheng had no choice but to report to the unit on foot.

Fortunately, Li Jiansheng often runs in the morning, and this path is nothing to him.

Li Jiansheng walked out of the house at about 6:30 in the morning.He felt it was still early, so he walked along the way, looking at the scenery on the street, and walked towards the unit happily.
