这次重新划分行政区域也使米女士升职调往别处，我母亲的上司换了一位新人：她是中共宜宾市委宣传部部长，共青团系统也归她管。在共产党统治下的新中国，尽管也有各种各样正式颁布的规章制度，但是领导人的脾气秉性远比西方国家重要得多。领导者的态度就是党的态度。遇上一个好领导会使下属的人生轨迹发生根本的变化。

我母亲的新上司是一位女同志，名叫张西挺。她和她丈夫都是1950年进驻西藏的共产党军队的军官。四川是进入西藏的必经之地，汉族人普遍不愿意在西藏工作，认为西藏是一片环境恶劣的蛮荒之地。于是夫妻俩就找了个借口退出军队，转业后被派到宜宾工作。张西挺的丈夫姓刘，自取名为刘结挺。他改名为“结挺”，意在“永远跟张西挺结合在一起”，表示他极爱妻子。这对夫妻后来成为著名的人物，人们称呼他们俩为“二挺”。

到了春天，我母亲被提拔为宜宾市共青团团委书记，这是一个非常重要的职务，而她当时还不到20岁。她恢复了往日的平静乐观和勃勃生气。就是在这种愉快的气氛中，她怀上了我，这时是1951年6月。

我母亲现在进入了一个新的党小组，也只有三个党员：除了她自己，另外两个党员是“挺”夫人和一位原来是宜宾地下党的女干部，我母亲跟她们俩相处得非常融洽。过去没完没了的对个人私生活的侵犯和自我批评在新的党小组里完全消失了，既无须“交待思想”，也不在小事情上吹毛求疵了。新的党小组迅速做出鉴定结论，全票通过赞成她升格转正，于是在1951年7月1日，我母亲成为无比光荣的中国共产党正式党员。

Her new boss, Mrs. Ting, was no beauty, 26____ her slender figure, sensuous mouth, freckled face, lively eyes, and sharp repartee all exuded energy 27____ showed that she was a character. My mother warmed to her 28____ once.

我母亲的新上司“挺”夫人不是一个美女，但是她身材苗条婀娜，嘴唇性感迷人，脸上有几个雀斑，眼睛生动活泼，再加上言辞锋利善于巧辩，浑身上下都洋溢着旺盛的精力和斗志；从她的一举一动可以看出，这是一个很不简单的人物。我母亲立刻对她有了好感。
