In 1984, a soldier died heroically, but his 23-year-old wife refused to remarry. Thirty-five years later, when the wife brought her son to sweep her husband's grave, she kept crying loudly at the tombstone: "I raised you, son, you can get up and take a look." ”
The wife's name is Li Faying, and her husband's name is Tao Ronghua, the two grew up as childhood sweethearts, and naturally developed feelings for each other, but they did not pierce the thin layer of window paper at that time.
In 1979, Tao Ronghua chose to become a People's Liberation Army and went to the south of the motherland, and the two who had feelings for each other separated, but neither of them forgot their feelings for each other.
Perhaps because they missed each other too much after separation, Tao Ronghua sent a love letter to Li Faying in the barracks, and the window paper was finally pierced, and the two sent letters back and forth to communicate their feelings.
The marriage was already a matter of the Spring Festival in 1983, but as a soldier, Tao Ronghua had few holidays, and the newlyweds could not be intimate for too long, so Tao Ronghua returned to the army with his wife.
Later, Li Faying chose to return to her hometown because she was pregnant, and no one thought that this would be the last time they would meet.
In April 1984, during the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, Tao Ronghua was unfortunately shot and died at the age of 23.
His departure brought a huge blow to Li Faying, the child was less than a year old, and he had never met his father, and even the photos that Li Faying specially sent over were still in the army and had not been unpacked.
But the reality is like this, everyone can only choose to accept it, and Li Faying still regained his strength after a period of decadence.
She was determined to take good care of her son and Tao Ronghua's parents, and to support this stormy home.
Li Faying's goodness is in everyone's eyes, and many relatives and friends, including her parents-in-law, have persuaded Li Faying to find a good family to marry, but Li Faying will always have only one answer, that is, refusal.
Without her husband's help, Li Faying only relied on her own farming, went up to the mountains to collect game, and tried her best to earn money to subsidize the family.
In 1999, Li Faying finally earned a little money to help renovate the dilapidated bungalow in his hometown, and his family's living environment was greatly improved.
Later, because of an accident, her mother-in-law was paralyzed in bed, and Li Faying took care of her without complaint, never screaming bitterly.
Her father-in-law passed away in 2004, and Li Faying took care of her mother-in-law more carefully, and by 2020, her mother-in-law had also left.
At this time, her son had already married and had children, and Li Faying, who had persisted for decades, finally fulfilled her vows, although she was very bitter and tired, but this family did not disperse with her efforts.
In 2019, when her mother-in-law had not yet died, Li Faying took her son to worship at her husband's grave, and at that time, this strong woman almost collapsed to the ground crying.
She told her husband how well her son was and how well her mother-in-law was taken care of, and she chattered for a long time, and her heart was full of nostalgia for this husband who had lost decades.
