I took at least ten gold bars from home to support the underground party's undercover intelligence work in Shanghai.
My husband, Liu Guopeng, was shot three times for his revolutionary cause, and there is still a bullet fragment in his body that has not been removed.
He was a hero in the founding of the Republic and a communist fighter recognized by the organization. How can you gossipy women criticize him?"
"Besides! What's wrong with me buying steak and red wine? Since the government provides these goods in the supply and marketing cooperatives and stores, as long as you have a ticket and money, you can buy them. What's the problem?"
"Yes! A few years ago, our family was in great difficulty. I needed to send money to support my daughter who was sent to work in the countryside, so I asked the director for an advance on my salary.
I didn't steal or rob. The advance salary I received was the result of my own labor. I could spend it however I wanted. What's more, I really sent it to my daughter.
The money I used to buy these today was given to me by my husband Liu Guopeng.
Do you recognize him? My General Liu! He has been rehabilitated! The organization has removed the rightist label from our family. Do you dare to slander me again? "
Wow!
Several aunties in the alley were completely shocked by Guo Linxian.
They had never thought that this delicate and gentle capitalist daughter, who was used to being bullied by them and never dared to talk back, actually had such a tough side.
Not to mention, when they heard Guo Linxian talking about the news of Liu Guopeng's rehabilitation, the expressions on their faces froze, and then they completely collapsed.
"Ah? Miss Guo... Miss Guo, oh no! It's Madam Liu, look at our stinky mouths. We have already crushed the x-gang, and now we don't need to criticize people anymore.
Besides, you are a beautiful and kind person. Although you come from a capitalist family, you have a red heart and have participated in revolutionary work a long time ago. There is no doubt about that."
"Yes, yes, yes! Madam Liu, it's only right to improve the food occasionally. You look so thin, you should supplement your nutrition and eat more meat."
"Madam Liu, we won't disturb you from making dinner. It was an unintentional mistake just now. Please don't take it to heart!"
…
Knowing that Guo Linxian was not someone to be trifled with, the aunties quickly apologized and slipped away.
Today, Guo Linxian finally returned home with her head held high. As soon as she closed the door, she threw herself on the bed and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Old Liu! For so many years, my mother and I have been bullied terribly.
Today I can finally…finally hold my head up high and live my life as a human being.”
After wiping away her tears, Guo Linxian got up to fry the steak. She smelled the aroma of the beef, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but murmured: "It smells so good!"
…
On the other side, in the Linjiagou Production Brigade.
As the county public security bureau brought Zhong Yue in to identify the scene, all the villagers were stunned when they saw Tian Jinbu's body dug out from the backyard of the dilapidated house.
Who could have thought that Zhong Yuejin, this clean-looking educated youth from the city, would be a murderer?
But later I heard that it was the female educated youth named Zhao Huan who did the killing, and she even cut the man’s neck with a knife. I was even more horrified.
Lin Huowang and Liu Rumeng were also watching the scene. When they saw Tian Jinbu's body being dug out, they all frowned.
"Awang! This is really horrible. That Zhao Huan actually killed Tian Jinbu just to get a chance to return to the city."
Liu Rumeng leaned closely against Lin Huowang and said.
"For a chance to return to the city, everyone has gone crazy! They dare to do anything."
Lin Huowang also shook his head, then quickly took Liu Rumeng away from the scene and returned to the Lin family yard.
In the inner room, Liu Rumeng sat at the desk and copied down the poem "A Generation" written by Lin Huowang today on a piece of paper.
The more I watch, the more I like it, and the more I feel that Lin Huowang is full of talent.
In fact, from the first time she came into contact with Lin Huowang, the words he said to encourage her to stay strong and live on had already made her feel that Lin Huowang was extraordinary.
However, Liu Rumeng could never have imagined that Lin Huowang could be so powerful that the poem he composed casually could become a great poem that swept the country and encouraged thousands of educated youth.
"Awang, I think that even though you didn't agree to go to the capital to be the editor of Poetry Magazine, you definitely shouldn't waste your creative talent because of this.
If you have any inspiration in the future, write it down quickly..."
Looking at Lin Huowang lovingly, Liu Rumeng said with a hint of regret.
Because maybe when Lin Huowang was with me before, I had many moments of bursting with inspiration, and poems emerged in my mind, but I didn’t say them out loud or write them down!
Lin Huowang became interested immediately when he saw his wife adoring him so much.
He thought about it, then took the paper and pen, and said as he wrote: "It just so happens that I have been thinking about writing down a good story in the past few days!"
"Stories? Not poems? Could it be that, Awang, you can also write novels?"
Liu Rumeng became even more excited.
After all, in this era of spiritual scarcity, any novel is enough for the educated youth to read and spread over and over again.
Even various kinds of manuscripts emerged one after another, attracting young people to read eagerly.
"Yes! It's a novel, but it may be a bit long..."
As Lin Huowang spoke, he wrote down the name of the novel.
"Drawing Sword?"
Liu Rumeng's eyes lit up. The title of the book triggered her endless imagination. "Sword? Could it be that, Awang, you are going to write a martial arts novel?"
