Returning pears in the Mid-Autumn Festival
In 1948, there was a pear tree in the yard where Zhou Enlai lived in Xibaipo. Before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the pears are ripe. Sometimes the wind blows off one or two pears, and he asks the guards to pick them up and give them to the landlord. Landlord Yan Zhongyun deliberately didn't pick fresh pears in order to let the chief eat them. Zhou Enlai and the guards began to take off the pears, wrapped them and sent them to the landlord. The landlord said to everyone, "I have never seen such a good leader in my life."

12. When the mason
was in Xibaipo, Zhou Enlai learned that the houses of several poor and middle peasants in the village were leaking, and when it rained, water could flow to the kang, so he organized more than 2 workers to set up a "maintenance team" to go deep into the houses to help the people repair the houses. When repairing a house, Zhou Enlai came. He first looked at the house, then rolled up his sleeves and became a mason. He talked with everyone about his family while working; Ask people if they can eat enough and sleep well. At lunch time, the villagers brought Zhou Enlai delicious pancakes and scrambled eggs, but Zhou Enlai didn't eat them, but he picked up a tortilla from the basket next to him and ate it.

121, Summer Harvest Back Wheat
In 1948, in Xibaipo, Zhou Enlai and the cadres participated in the summer harvest. He wore a faded military uniform and held a sickle, and he was sweating all over. During the break, he also publicized the revolutionary truth and told revolutionary stories to everyone. As long as he comes, there will be cheers and laughter in the wheat field. After the wheat was cut, it had to be transported to the field. It was more than a mile from the beach to the wheat field. When Zhou Enlai saw that everyone was shouldering it, he also shouldered a big bundle. When everyone saw Zhou Enlai's sweaty and soaked clothes sticking to his body, he was afraid of being tired, and repeatedly advised him not to carry it. He smiled and said, "it's good to do some work!" What are you doing every day? "

One, two, trifles matter
That was in 195, when Zhou Enlai went out for a meeting, he made a scene in the Prime Minister's office and broke the glass plate on the coffee table. The duty officer severely criticized him when he found out and planned to transfer him from his post. When Zhou Enlai came back, he knew, and said to the little waiter, "Children are not sensible, so why bother?". On another occasion, Zhou Enlai took a bus back to the West Flower Hall. It happened that a young waiter came from the shade by bike and almost collided with his car at the corner. The waiter was in a hurry, and his hands pinched the brake, and as a result, people and cars fell to the ground. Zhou Enlai hurried out of the car, stepped forward to help the waiter who had fallen, and asked him with concern if he was hurt. Look left and right, there is no problem, and then get back in the car. Until a few days later, he still remembered it and asked people about the waiter.

One, two, three, why stay
In the spring of 1951, Zhou Enlai went to Dalian to recuperate due to illness. In order to make Zhou Enlai move easily and really get a rest, the staff around him suggested that he temporarily grow his beard so that people wouldn't recognize him. After listening, he laughed and said, "I am the prime minister and the servant of the people. How can I be separated from the masses? ！” After coming to Dalian, Zhou Enlai took advantage of this opportunity to visit the hospitals of Lvda to express condolences to the wounded and sick volunteers, visit nearby, go deep into the masses and conduct investigation and research. During his illness, Dalian and Lushun left his footprints everywhere.

One, two, four, ten children
Some people can't understand why Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Enlai live such a poor life without children. What do you leave the money for? In 1952, Zhou Enlai had a long talk with her when she met her childhood friend and cousin Gong Zhiru. Gong Zhiru once mentioned: "It's a pity that you have no children." Zhou Enlai immediately replied, "Who said no? We have ten! " Said, and stretched out five fingers, doubled, and eyes for Deng Yingchao's support. Deng Yingchao nodded with a smile. Zhou Enlai went on to say, "Ten! All descendants of martyrs! All are raised and borne by us. " In fact, as far as people know, there are more than ten children of martyrs raised by Zhou Enlai and his wife. ! The couple have always regarded these martyrs and orphans as members of their own family.

125. Crowding experience
One afternoon in 1954, Zhou Enlai said to his secretary, "The masses reported that buses in Beijing are very crowded now, and it takes one or two hours to get to and from work. Today, let's take a bus to find out the situation. Don't tell the security department." At the bus station of Beijing Library, Zhou Enlai and other people got on the bus and finally got on the bus. Sure enough, the bus was crowded and there were no empty seats. He took a few steps inside, holding the rings in his hand and standing in the middle. People couldn't take care to look around in the crowd. After two or three minutes of driving, a passenger standing opposite him shouted, "Oh dear! Isn't this the prime minister? " "Prime Minister?" "The prime minister? ！” The carriage immediately became active. People offered their seats in succession, but Zhou Enlai refused to sit down. He waved his arms and urged everyone to sit down. A passenger took his hand and asked, "Premier, you are so busy, why did you come by bus?" Zhou Enlai smiled and replied, "I'll experience your life, too." Then, I started a conversation with the passengers and asked their names, which unit they belonged to? Where do you live? How long does it take to commute every day? I got off the bus, got on the trolley bus, and turned half a circle in Beijing. After you come back, Zhou Enlai immediately called the relevant leading comrades and held a special meeting to discuss and formulate specific measures to solve the problem of bus congestion. He also instructed all departments and relevant units in the State Council to use carts to transport workers to and from work, if conditions permit.

One night in July, 1955, Zhou Enlai was still working nervously when it suddenly rained heavily. In a short time, Deng Yingchao came to the place where the guards stood guard, holding a raincoat in his hand and kindly said to the soldiers, "The Prime Minister asked me to send you a raincoat. Put it on quickly!" Then, Deng Yingchao said: "The Prime Minister asked me to tell you that it is dangerous to stand guard under the tree when it thunders and rains." The guard soldier took the raincoat, looked at the light in front of Zhou Enlai's window, looked at the back of Deng Yingchao leaving in the rain, and tears rolled down.

127, closely related
During 1955-1956, serious natural disasters occurred in some areas of Guangxi Province, and some cadres did not take effective measures for disaster relief, and more than 5 people starved to death. After listening to the report of this incident, Zhou Enlai felt extremely sad. He said: "Our national system is superior because our political power is the people's political power, and our people's government serves the people and must be closely related to the people. It is absolutely not allowed to care about the sufferings of the people or to care enough. It makes us angry to hear such a thing. No matter whether it is local, a province or a county, it is a matter that should be paid attention to and must be dealt with seriously. "

128. Small talk
In April 1956, after observing several large factories in Angang, Zhou Enlai specially visited Wang Xiulan, a model family member of Angang. In the evening, when Zhou Enlai entered the door, he saw Wang Xiulan's lover, Lao Yang, still sleeping after the night shift. He immediately lowered his voice and turned around to signal the comrades behind him not to speak loudly. Wang Xiulan recognized Zhou Enlai, so excited that she didn't know what to say. She tried to wake Lao Yang, but Zhou Enlai stopped her softly. Zhou Enlai sat on the edge of the kang, drinking boiled water, and had a cordial conversation with the worker's family as a family. He found this street very remote, so he asked how far it was from the store, where to buy the needle thread, and whether it was convenient to drink water. Wang Xiulan said it was convenient, and Zhou Enlai was relieved. At this time, many children outside looked at the window. Zhou Enlai asked Wang Xiulan if there were any children. Wang repliedno. Zhou Enlai said, "You know, I don't have any children either. These are our children outside. We should cultivate revolutionary descendants." And said: "You street cadres have a hard time doing the work of thousands of families. I want to learn from you." They talked cordially for over an hour. A year later, the responsible comrades of the provincial party Committee went to Beijing for a meeting. Zhou Enlai also asked: "I heard that Wang Xiulan of Angang is sick. Please give her my regards. Is there any difficulty?"

Visiting workers
On a sunny Sunday in May 1956, Zhou Enlai came to the workers' dormitory of Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant, which was only four rows of bungalows on the hillside. Zhou Enlai first came to a fitter's house in the power plant, and the young couple happily welcomed Zhou Enlai into the room. Zhou Enlai sat by the bed and chatted with them. When he heard that the young man was studying in an amateur school, he took the textbook and asked him which lesson he had learned. "I am learning the lesson of Zhan Tianyou." The young man replied. "Oh, this is our great engineer in China." Zhou Enlai said with a smile. I also checked the young man's homework, praised him for learning well and encouraged him to study hard. Then, Zhou Enlai visited the home of an amateur teacher. When he was going to visit an old worker's house, he heard that the old worker was working night shift and sleeping. He quickly waved his hand and said softly, "Don't bother, don't bother, let him have a good rest." "Premier Zhou came to the foundry village!" The news soon spread all over the small workers' village, and people put down their work and flew out to visit Zhou Enlai. How much they wish he would stay a little longer.
however, the sun is setting by the west, and he will leave soon. The workers reluctantly saw me off, and Zhou Enlai leaned forward, lifted the nearest child, and smiled kindly.

13. Try to cool down
In July, 1956, Zhou Enlai braved the heat and traveled to Shanghai for investigation and study. When he went deep into the converter workshop of a steel plant to observe the production situation, he saw that the workers in front of the furnace were sweating and hot, so he asked the person in charge of the workshop with great concern: "How high is the temperature in the workshop?" Answer: "It's over forty degrees." Zhou Enlai immediately questioned and said, "I have been to the tropics in summer, where the temperature is over forty degrees, but it is far less hot than yours." He immediately instructed: we should care about the sufferings of workers, improve their production conditions, and do a good job in heatstroke prevention and cooling in summer. Shortly after Zhou Enlai returned to Beijing, the State Council issued an urgent notice to the whole country that industrial enterprises must do a good job in heatstroke prevention and cooling, and urged all localities to do this work quickly. The heatstroke prevention and cooling work of factories and enterprises all over the country was quickly improved and strengthened.
