Li Yunlong's family has a nanny named Zhang's mother, an elderly widow with no children and no daughters, from rural Shandong, who has no food rations.

When entering the three years of natural disasters, Li Yunlong's ration was only 27 catties, and he had to deduct 5 catties to support the treasury and 1 catty to support the disaster area, so he only had 21 catties left.

Tian Yu is only 21 catties alone, the whole family has five mouths, a total of only 42 catties of rations, can't eat at all, if there are another 15 catties, he can't get through the belt of his trousers, but now, Li Yunlong can only let himself eat three or four steamed buns a day from the past, reduced to half a catty of grain a day, and drink water when he is hungry.

The former general's belly was also sunken, and the ribs protruded.

Even when he went to inspect the artillery position and climb a small hill, he also had gold stars in his eyes and sweated profusely.

In 1960, Li Jian was eight years old and in the second grade, and he wanted to go out and pick up rotten vegetable leaves and come back, but he didn't expect this kid to pick up a cabbage from a tricycle and be caught red-handed.

Li Yunlong's family method is to tie his son to the bench, take off his pants, and pump it with a belt, and pull Li Jian to death every time.

After this fight, Zhang's mother began to blame herself, feeling that she had dragged down the Li family, so she began to go on a hunger strike, ignoring no one's call.

When Li Yunlong saw Zhang's mother like this, he also regretted that he shouldn't have beaten his son for this matter, which made Zhang's mother careless, and Zhang's mother had eaten enough.

In the end, the four members of the Li family knelt in front of Zhang's mother's bed and begged her, saying all the good things, recognizing Zhang's mother as the child's grandmother, and she would definitely give her the old man's old age to the end, so as to save Zhang's mother's life and regard the Li family as their relatives.

In 1966, Li Jian went to middle school and joined the Red Guards, and he was still a leader.

In the past, he hurt him very much, but now he has a red hoop on his hand, and he has an inexplicable sense of superiority, and he often dangles in front of Li Yunlong, looking very presumptuous.

Li Yunlong didn't understand the situation at that time, and felt that these boys were so arrogant, and even they seemed to have to stand aside and 'clean up' outside all day long.

One day, Li Jian was rummaging around in Li Yunlong's closet, looking for the yellow cloth military uniform issued when he was awarded the title in 1955 to wear, with buttonholes on his shoulders and epaulettes, his clothes washed white, and a three-inch cowhide belt.

After Li Yunlong saw it, he wanted to beat this kid very much, but when he saw the posture of these kids, he still didn't dare to make it.

One day, Li Yunlong was having a meeting when he suddenly received a call from Tian Yu, asking him to go back, something big happened.

After Li Yunlong rushed back, he saw Tian Yu distributing biscuits to the four children, and when he saw Li Yunlong, the four children cried and knelt down and shouted: "Uncle Li, save us......"

Li Yunlong only learned at this time that Zhao Gang and Feng Nan had an accident in Beijing, and their four children were given to him by Tuogu.

Zhao Gang's children, the oldest fifteen or sixteen years old, are the eldest son Zhao Shan, the second son Zhao Gao, the third daughter Zhao Shui, and the fourth son Zhao Chang. This sentence is from Fan Zhongyan's "Mr. Yan's Ancestral Hall".

From then on, these six children were all his Li Yunlong's children.

One day, Li Yunlong came back from work, and before he entered the hospital, he heard the sound of gunshots, and rushed to the backyard to take a look, there was a row of bottles under the corner, and six children were taking turns shooting at the bottles.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong was simply mad, at such a close distance, the bounce of the bullet would completely kill people.

Li Yunlong could only walk over calmly, first take down the guns in their hands, pull out the magazine, withdraw the bullets, close the safety cover, and then explain the characteristics of these two guns to them, and ask them where they got them?

Li Jian said that it was issued by the "Red Revolution Union", and many people received guns, and Li Yunlong took a deep breath.

After the reasoning is over, there is still a punishment, after all, today you dare to play with guns in ignorance, and tomorrow you dare to play with explosives bags.

Li Yunlong said that Li Jian and Zhao Shan were the two largest, and each pumped 10 strokes, except for Zhao Shui, a daughter who was only punished for two hours without being beaten, and the other three small ones each pumped 5 strokes.

Zhao Gang has never beaten a child, Zhao Shan was not convinced, and stood up to reason with Li Yunlong, but Li Yunlong said that this is his family rule, and now he must obey it, Zhao Shan said very hard, then beat him alone, after all, he caused the matter.

Li Yunlong felt that this was really Zhao Gang's species, but it had to be fair, so everyone received the punishment.

Several children often play sand table confrontation games with Li Yunlong, and will also put forward some of their own opinions, and Li Yunlong will also take the opportunity to explain some combat methods and skills to them, and ask them about their methods.

Another day, Zhao Shui and Zhao Chang caught a wild cat, no matter how they looked at it, they felt that there was a difference between the cats in the south and the north, and the cats in the south looked like thieves, so they decided to punish it.

Li Kang tied a piece of cotton soaked in gasoline to the cat's tail and lit it, the cat was frightened, jumped up and down in the house, lit the curtains, and Tian Yu came in time to douse the fire with water.

Tian Yu was so angry that she went crazy, not because of fire, but because of their disrespect for a life, she made such a cruel move.

She slapped the buttocks of the three children with a feather duster, Zhao Shui, who had never even beaten Li Yunlong, Tian Yu actually beat her, she was very aggrieved and remembered her mother Feng Nan, so she cried very sadly.

Tian said that when he heard Zhao Shui say that he missed his mother, he couldn't help but apologize to her non-stop, hugging Zhao Shui and crying.

In Li Yunlong's "Taishan Division Headquarters Building Incident", the other side suffered 158 casualties and 18 comrades-in-arms.

These 158 families surrounded Li Yunlong's home, and they were murderous.

Tian Yu suddenly appeared with six children, everyone surrounded Li Yunlong in the middle, Tian Yu shouted: "Whoever dares to touch my husband, our whole family will fight with him!" ”

A few days later, Kong Jie sent a letter to Li Yunlong from Unit 6957 of the Shenyang Military Region, in which the officer said that Commander Kong ordered them to escort Li Yunlong's family to the northeast to ensure absolute safety, and that they could take any means if anyone stopped them.

Li Yunlong rejected Kong Jie's invitation, how could he be a deserter?!

Li Yunlong only handed over his six children to the northeastern officer and entrusted them to Kong Jie.

Li Jian and Zhao Shan were the biggest, they had a premonition that something big had happened in the family, and this time was probably the last goodbye, he took his younger brothers and sisters to kneel, kowtowed to Li Yunlong and Tian Yu, and cried and said, "Dad, Mom, take care!" We thank you for your nurturing grace and will never disgrace you! ”

Li Yunlong finished his last words to the six children: "Children, if one day in the future, you go to the battlefield, you may be shot and sacrificed...... But what I hope is, my children, that even if you die, you will only be able to meet the bullets with your chest, not your back. ……”

Li Yunlong eventually committed suicide with a gun in his living room, and two days later, Tian Yu cut his wrists in prison and followed him. The year is 1969.

In 1978, Li Yunlong was rehabilitated and his reputation was restored.

Twenty years later, Li Yunlong's six children wore military uniforms and came to this old house where they grew up, where a Taiwanese businessman and a retired soldier already lived.

Of these six children, only one is a major general, and the rest are colonels and colonels.

They politely begged their master to come into the house, and after a round of sightseeing they came to the backyard, knelt down in front of a wall, and wept silently......
