Aunt Wu is already seventy-nine years old and her walking is not very stable anymore.

Only three of his teeth are still intact.

He has a lisp when he speaks and his ears don't work very well.

However, she liked to be in the hustle and bustle and always liked to work with the educated youth.

The young people were chattering away. Even though Aunt Wu couldn't hear what they were saying sometimes, she was happy to see them having so much fun.

The educated youth were immersed in sorrow.

Zhou Xiaoshan's body was placed among them.

In the morning they were still talking and laughing together, looking forward to whether they could go home away from everyone's sight after leaving Weijia Village and meet the people they wanted to see.

Now, he is just a corpse.

His favorite sister was also taken away and fell into the hands of that group of people. Zhou Fanghua's fate can be imagined.

When a rabbit dies, the fox mourns.

Everyone can see their own past shadow in Zhou Xiaoshan and his sister.

Teacher Hu sat in the corner, immersed in deep self-blame.

There was an air of sadness surrounding him.

The two remaining female educated youth hugged each other's shoulders and cried sadly, their voices full of sadness.

Aunt Wu staggered over and said, "The village chief asked me to inform you that the sweet potato cellar in the village needs to be cleaned out so that we can store the sweet potatoes that will be dug next. Now go get your farm tools and follow me."

The depressed atmosphere in the house fell silent for a moment.

The educated youth looked up in disbelief.

Those pairs of eyes were wide open and full of condemnation.

It seemed as if he was questioning Aunt Wu, asking whether she had any conscience at all for urging them to work at this time?

"When you go to the countryside to join the production team, you must obey the arrangements of the village leaders and not be passive. The village chief has spoken, so you have to go and do it." Aunt Wang's eyes were blurry and she couldn't see the expressions of the educated youth at all.

So any reaction from them would not affect her.

She was like a messenger, diligently urging the educated youth to go to work.

Teacher Hu stood up slowly and sighed helplessly.

The escape plan was forced to abort because of the sudden appearance of the group of men. They voluntarily returned to the village and now have to obey the supervision of Lin Village.

To them, Zhou Xiaoshan is a classmate, a student, and a relative with whom they spend every day and have a deep affection.

But to these villagers, he was just a stranger who had only been in the village for a few days.

They could not relate to his death.

"Let Xiaoshan sleep here alone. Let's go to work first. After today's work, we will discuss how to bury him in the evening." Teacher Hu's voice was full of grief.

The educated youth stood up angrily and followed Teacher Hu out to get farm tools.

Aunt Wu closed the door with a smile.

Take the educated youth to the sweet potato cellar.

After coaxing them downstairs, Aunt Wu threw down the bag of several kilograms of boiled chestnuts given by the village chief and slammed the wooden board of the cellar shut.

The educated youth below had just adapted to the light below when they discovered that the only light above their heads had disappeared.

They quickly shouted: "Aunt Wu, Aunt Wu!"

Aunt Wu was trembling as she held a stone and pressed it against the wooden board.

When you hear shouting, just pretend you don't hear it.

The villagers who were guarding nearby also came up to help, and soon the thick wooden boards at the entrance of the cellar were filled with stones.

For fear that it was not safe, Fifth Aunt had people bring over all the millstones that were placed in the corner of Wei Dingbang's yard and press them down.

After the incident, Aunt Wu said to the people below, "Stay down there and peel chestnuts to eat. In order to help you vent your anger, Jianshe followed the group of men and was discovered. His head was smashed. Our village will report it to the police.

The village is in chaos right now, so just behave yourself and don't make things more chaotic.

When the village chief gives the order, we will release you.

Well, if you don’t obey and anger the village chief, he will release bees to live on you.”

After Aunt Five finished speaking, she moved a stool and sat down nearby to take a break.

The educated youth who were clamoring to build a human ladder to break out of the door immediately stopped when they heard this.

Teacher Hu sat down slowly.

There was some dry straw in the cellar, which rustled when people sat on it.

"The village chief means well and is afraid that we might run into the police," said Teacher Hu.

The educated youth also figured it out and groped their way to sit down in the dark.

"Village Chief...did you discover something?"

"In this Weijia Village, from Wei Dingbang to the village chief, to Wei Jianshe, and Aunt Wu... they are all good people."

"We are sorry for Jianshe. We don't know how serious his injury is. When he recovers, I will catch him a hundred grasshoppers and roast them for him to eat to thank him."

Someone touched the big bag of chestnuts, fumbled to untie the hemp rope that tied the bag, took out a handful of chestnuts, and chewed them with a crunch.

Gradually, the people below passed the chestnuts around, and everyone got a handful.

Aunt Wu asked a little kid to put his ear between the cracks in the rocks and listen carefully.

The little kid's mouth was watering as he listened to the sound of them eating chestnuts.

Aunt Wu waved for him to come over, rummaged in the pocket of her large apron, and took out a piece of fruit candy that had already melted a little and handed it to the little boy.

The little kid peeled off the candy wrapper stuck to the candy, tearing off the skin bit by bit.

The saliva kept dripping down, and soon wet the collar of his clothes.

The candy was finally peeled off, and the kid handed it to Aunt Wu first: "Aunt Wu, you take a bite first, and give me the rest. My mother said that we should be filial to the elderly and not eat alone. If we eat alone, our teeth will fall out."

Aunt Wu opened her mouth, revealing her four remaining teeth, and shook her head, saying, "Grandma Wu can't bite it anymore, so let the little kid eat it by himself."

The kid thought about it, then put the candy in his mouth and bit it hard.
