Introduction to Mrs. Yuan Longping

Students launch love offensive

In 1953, Yuan Longping graduated from Chongqing Xianghui Agricultural College (now Southwest Agricultural University) as the first generation of college students in New China and was assigned to the remote Anjiang in Xiangxi. Teaching in agricultural schools.

Time flies, and it has been a few years since Yuan Longping graduated from university. As an older young man, he is still alone. Colleagues and friends are eager to find potential candidates for Yuan Longping. However, one person is always introduced and the other is played, and the girls all stay away from Yuan Longping. Once, a male colleague accompanied Yuan Longping on a "blind date". After Yuan Longping met the woman, the woman did not fall in love with Yuan Longping, but instead fell in love with the introducer, which made people laugh and cry. Why? Because Yuan Longping's life was too casual when he was young, he was not only plainly dressed, but also unkempt.

When Yuan Longping was teaching at the agricultural school, Deng Zhe was his student. When Yuan Longping asked Deng Zhe's classmate to propose marriage to her, the introverted Deng Zhe was filled with worries. "What does it mean for a teacher to fall in love with a student? How should I call him in the future? He is already in his 30s and is 8 years older than me. Is the age difference too big?" But Yuan Longping seemed to have identified Deng Zhe—— This quiet and delicate girl from Anjiang is my wife.

33-year-old Yuan Longping and 25-year-old Deng Zhe did not spend too much money, nor did they buy any wedding items. The two older young people who had known each other for a long time held a very simple wedding. In Deng Zhe's eyes, Yuan Longping is a romantic, thoughtful and good husband. A few days after their wedding, Yuan Longping enthusiastically invited Deng Zhe to go swimming, which surprised Deng Zhe. Deng Zhe recalled: Yuan Longping had a meeting until 11 p.m. that day, and when he got home, he had to take her to swim. Before going out, Yuan Longping specially took a pair of small scissors. Deng Zhe asked him what he was doing with scissors when swimming. He said that there were many fishnets set up by fishermen in the river. If a blind fisherman encountered a fishhook while swimming, he could immediately cut it open to help her escape. After hearing these words, Deng Zhe felt very warm in his heart: "Mr. Yuan is a thoughtful person. I have found the right husband."

In 1990, Yuan Longping's family moved from Anjiang, Qianyang, Huaihua The agricultural school moved to a new house in Changsha City. The new home has a gas water heater installed. Every time Deng Zhe took a bath, as long as he didn't hear the sound of running water for two or three minutes, Yuan Longping would shout loudly - "Deng Zhe! Deng Zhe!" At first, Deng Zhe complained, thinking that he would keep shouting even after taking a bath. , he replied with resentment: "What are you shouting? You won't stop even after taking a shower." Yuan Longping stopped shouting when he heard Deng Zhe made a sound. Later, Deng Zhe learned that Yuan Longping was worried about her gas poisoning and would call her twice every once in a while when she heard no sound. Only when Deng Zhe responded could he feel relieved. Deng Zhe said he thought he was "annoying", but in his heart he was very beautiful.

All the problems will be taken care of for you

In the late 1960s, in order to let Yuan Longping continue his hybrid rice research, his superiors decided to transfer Yuan Longping to work at the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and his wife Deng Zhe failed to follow the transfer and had to stay in Qianyang with his children. After Yuan Longping left, the couple began living apart in different places for more than 20 years. Deng Zhe, who understands and supports her husband, has no complaints and takes on all the responsibilities of the family with her weak shoulders.

In the eyes of outsiders, Yuan Longping and his wife have a deep relationship and are role models for husbands and wives to follow each other. Deng Zhe smiled and said that in a married life, there are no pots and pans without bumps. But these stumbling blocks are not disagreements about principles, they are just different positions and arguments. As a member of the Hunan Hybrid Rice Research Center, Deng Zhe can occasionally hear voices from his colleagues, but this kind of voice may not be heard by Yuan Longping. The kind-hearted Deng Zhe wanted to convey these details, but was "bombarded" by Yuan Longping, who asked Deng Zhe not to interfere with the institute's affairs. Deng Zhe fought for the "right to speak" because he was a member of the institute. "We had two quarrels, just two times. There was no conclusion. I don't know if he listened to what I said, and there was nothing more to go on." Deng Zhe said that the couple had never had major quarrels, rarely at work, and more in life. No. "I basically listen to Yuan Longping, and there is no chance to quarrel."

"People talk about him too well, and he may not be familiar with many things that are not in his professional field." In Anjiang, Hunan At that time, Deng Zhe was about to give birth to her second child. Her mother came to take care of her and needed an extra bed. Deng Zhe borrowed a framed bed from school, and he only needed Yuan Longping to take the time to put it together according to the structure. "It's such a simple thing. Mr. Yuan can't do it. No matter how you put it together, it won't look like a bed."

Deng Zhe and Yuan Longping had been married for a long time and lived a life of separation in two places. When they were working in Anjiang, the couple spent less than one-third of their time together a year. It wasn't until Deng Zhe turned 50 that his family moved to Changsha and lived in the Hunan Hybrid Rice Research Center, where the couple really got along day and night.

In the winter of 1974, Yuan Longping's father Yuan Xinglie suffered from gastric cancer and was living in Chongqing No. 3 Hospital. People around his father sent a telegram of critical illness to Anjiang Agricultural School where Yuan Longping was studying. At that time, Yuan Longping was conducting breeding experiments in Hainan and could not get away. Yuan Longping's wife Deng Zhe traveled from Anjiang to Chongqing day and night to visit the old man. On January 3, 1975, Yuan's father passed away, and she died in place of Yuan Longping. Beside the old man, other descendants have arrived, only Longping is absent. Before his death, his father said: Long Ping was busy conducting hybrid rice experiments and had a heavy responsibility, and he did not want him to come back under any circumstances. Afterwards, Deng Zhe wrote a tearful letter to Longping, telling him about his father's death and telling him that he had brought his eldest son back to Anjiang from Chongqing.

Previously, the eldest son was raised by Yuan's father and Yuan's mother, Hua Jing. Hua Jing graduated from Zhenjiang Mission School in Jiangsu Province in his early years. He is very good at English and is careful in educating children.

Yuan Longping has three sons, but only one "belongs to him." The eldest has lived with his grandmother in Chongqing for many years and belongs to her. The third son has lived with his grandmother since he was a child and belongs to her. There is only the second child. When he was 5 years old, Yuan Longping took him to Hainan and Guangxi to live for a period of time on a business trip. "Everyone said so, this second child is his father's."

It is also interesting for Yuan Longping to name his children. He has three boys, named Wuyi, Wuer and Wusan respectively. He said: "My children are of a single breed, all males. It would be great to have a girl!" In the next generation, his wish came true. He had an eldest granddaughter and a second granddaughter, both of whom were named after him. The name was meaningful and humorous: the eldest granddaughter was named Yuan Youqing, because it rained non-stop before she was born. On the day she was born, the sky cleared after the rain. The second granddaughter was born on February 18, 2005. This day happened to be the "Rain Festival" of the lunar calendar, so she was named "Yuan Youqing". He said: "Not only do these two names sound easy to pronounce, but together they mean sunny and clear. Sunny means the sun, and clear means rain. If there is sun and rain, all things will naturally thrive."

He His love for his wife moved God

In Yuan Longping's memory, there was a "black" day that almost broke his heart. On New Year's Eve in 1982, Yuan Longping went home to celebrate the Spring Festival for the first time in more than ten years of breeding in the south. On the second day of the first lunar month, his wife Deng Zhe suddenly suffered from acute viral encephalitis and was sent to Huaihua District Hospital for emergency treatment. Misfortunes never come singly. Then, his 80-year-old mother also suffered from a severe cold and was bedridden at home. His mother-in-law suffered from cerebral thrombosis and was admitted to Qianyang County Hospital. This sudden attack of the disease dealt a heavy blow to the originally happy family, and made Yuan Longping, who was not good at housework, very busy.

In addition to urgently mobilizing his three sons to serve the patients separately, he hurriedly ran to three places to take care of the patients in turn, from registering, paying bills, and getting medicine, to buying nutrition, carrying feces, urine, and urine. Tea and food, very busy. Fortunately, old colleagues from Anjiang Agricultural School, Cao Panggong and his wife, and Li Daiju enthusiastically helped sweep the floor, plaster, and wash several large basins of dirty clothes. Otherwise, Yuan Longping would not know how to deal with this pile of housework.

At that time, Deng Zhe was lying in a deep coma on the hospital bed. He did not open his eyes for nearly half a month and relied on infusion to maintain his life. Yuan Longping took care of the two sick elderly people during the day and stayed with his wife almost every night. He looked at his wife's frail and pale face affectionately, feeling heartbroken, half guilty and half sad. He murmured, "It's all my fault. I'm not a good husband. You are tired and sick, but I can't help it. I can't live without hybrid rice, and the seedlings can't live without me. God is unfair." You can't have your cake and eat it too... Deng Zhe, I'm by your side, guarding you, protecting you, just wake up... As he spoke, tears blurred his eyes.

In the days to come, he took more careful care of his wife and repaid her for her contribution to his family over the years. He wiped her body, changed her clothes, and fed her chicken soup spoon by spoon; he recited Tang poems to her, told her stories, and sang "Old Black Slave" softly in English. He knew that his wife knew in her heart that he was blessing her, praying for her, and doing everything a husband should do for her... Maybe the sky has eyes, and good people are rewarded. His true love and infatuation moved the sky, and even the god of death quietly withdrew. After retreating, Deng Zhe finally opened his eyes, looked at her husband in a daze, and uttered a few words affectionately: Mr. Yuan.

"Thank God, you finally woke up!" Yuan Longping smiled happily like a child, and he smiled very happily. Next, he followed the doctor's instructions and helped his wife turn over and massage her every hour. A month later, Deng Zhe was discharged from the hospital without any sequelae.

In 2006, Deng Zhe and her work colleagues were involved in a car accident on their way to Yan'an for a visit, and her leg was severely fractured. Yuan Longping, who was in Beijing to attend the CPPCC meeting, was worried about Deng Zhe and couldn't wait for the meeting to end. He rushed to Xi'an the same day he finished his report. "He was still worried when he heard the secretary describe my condition on the phone. Only when he saw my condition with his own eyes could he feel relieved. Mr. Yuan's attentive love after so many years still touched me," Deng Zhe said.

Deng Zhe learned to drive when he was 63 years old and took the Z license test for automatic transmission. "When I asked Mr. Yuan for his opinion, he was very supportive. I learned for a month and passed the test easily." However, although Yuan Longping encouraged his wife to learn to drive, he did not encourage her to drive it often, let alone ask his wife to be his driver. Deng Zhe said that once the couple went to the city to do business, Yuan Longping took a ride in the Sail car she drove. Although Deng Zhe spoke in a clear-eyed manner, Yuan Longping still felt guilty. "He is afraid of riding in my car. Maybe I am old and he is worried about it." Deng Zhe, who can drive, wants to drive out for a walk by himself, but it is not that easy because Yuan Longping always has to look around. As long as there are young people in the family who can be drivers , Deng Zhe can’t even touch the steering wheel.

"Mr. Yuan is becoming more and more strict with me now." Deng Zhe said with a hearty smile, and then she happily added: "If someone takes care of you, it means they love you, which is a good thing.
