Chapter 51 Returning to My Mother's Home



In 1949, after the Communist Party's victory, Chiang Kai-shek led the Kuomintang's top leaders to Taiwan, but he planted many spies in cities across the country.

Guan Huashu is a particularly patriotic businessman, both in modern times and in the 1960s. After traveling here, he tries his best to help those around him solve their problems without exposing himself.

Professor Dong is a professor of history in modern times and has a very good understanding of various eras in our country.

The development trajectory of the 1960s was explained in detail to Guan Huashu and Shuishui, and all the major events that occurred were explained very thoroughly. Those years were about to come, which was also the main reason why Guan Huashu led the villagers to do various processing jobs to earn money.

Once the movement begins, it will be safest to stay in the village.

Professor Dong's teachings weren't limited to textbook material; they also included a host of other negative aspects. The existence of spies was paramount. They were adept at hiding, lurking in unimaginable occupations, gathering intelligence and wreaking havoc on society. Every village meeting, whether it was the men's gang organized by Guan Huashu or the women's group led by Professor Dong, emphasized the importance of vigilance against spies.

It was past ten in the evening when Guan Huashu and Fifth Grandpa arrived home. Professor Dong had been waiting for them, awake all night. As they ate, the rice in the pot was still warming, and they briefly chatted about arranging the arrangements for the newly arrived young people who had gone to the countryside. After that, Guan Huashu lowered his voice and carefully told Fifth Grandpa about the secret agents. He told him that more and more people would be coming to the village, and he wanted him to be on guard.

Who was Fifth Grandfather? He was a staunch veteran of the Eighth Route Army. Upon hearing this, his blood immediately boiled, his whole body filled with strength. He repeatedly praised Guan Huashu for his thorough consideration. Anyone who dared to undermine the country's construction and threaten the lives and safety of the people was an enemy of the motherland, and he must be nipped in the bud. This was something that must be prevented.

Because it is not the same space as the original one, it is not certain whether the specific date is the same as the date of the first batch of young people going to the countryside in the original era before they came here, so Guan Huashu made preparations in advance and arranged the resettlement of the first batch of young people going to the countryside.

With so many unemployed people in big cities and the pressure of living and housing problems on their lives, a policy was introduced to encourage students and young intellectuals to go to the countryside to support national construction. Initially, neighborhood committees persuaded them, providing them with money, tickets, food, and even train tickets.

Later, it became a mandatory requirement that each family could only keep one child, and the rest had to go to the countryside.

Finally, it is compulsory. If you don’t leave, you will be escorted to your destination.

Guan Huashu, under the pretext that the production team headquarters was a bit small, built three rooms on the west side, the same size as the houses standing side by side, and also built two kangs. Just two months after the construction was completed, someone came.

The Guan family has been quite lively these past two months. The third wife's parents and four brothers have all come. They've settled in the third room and can't be driven out. They grab the food before anyone else, showing no respect to their relatives.

The story begins when I returned to my parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year.

The third daughter-in-law's parents' home is in Taohua Village, five miles away, also known as Taohua Brigade. It is in the same commune as Xiangyang Brigade. Their brigade leader Guan Huashu went to the commune for a meeting to meet her and even tried to get close to him by using the relationship with the third daughter-in-law.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the third daughter-in-law went back to her parents' home. She took out the meat hidden in the house and the delicious food she had saved. These were usually the food for the two children, but the mother did not give a single bite to the two children and took them all to her parents' home.

Because of taking food from the child's mouth and giving it to her mother's family, she was beaten several times by the third brother, but she still did it and could not change.

On her return trip, Zhang Cuihua told her parents about the changes in Guanjia Village, how people there were now wealthy, and how Guan Laoer had split up the family business and was now the powerful production team leader.

After hearing this, Zhang Cuihua's parents paused at the same time, looked at each other, and understood what they wanted to express.
