Song Zhengang in the room had already woken up and was leaning over to pour himself some water to drink.
"Uncle Song!" Gu Zhao quickly supported Song Zhengang, reached out to take the bowl next to him, and handed it to Song Zhengang's mouth.
Song Zhengang drank a bowl of water in big gulps. Then he sighed comfortably. "Is your grandpa okay?" Song Zhengang looked at Gu Xingshu who was still sleeping.
"He's fine, he just has a little fever. He hasn't woken up yet. I've already given him medicine. He'll be fine once he wakes up. Uncle Song, you should sleep a little longer." Gu Zhao said.
"No need. I can't sleep either. I don't know when these days will end." Song Zhengang moved his body with difficulty.
He still had many wounds on his body from the parade, and he didn't dare move at all because it hurt when he moved.
"Days like this are coming to an end soon." Gu Zhao said with a smile.
Song Zhengang noticed something was wrong and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean by that? Do you know any news?"
Song Zhengang couldn't help getting excited. He ignored the pain in his body and held Gu Zhao's shoulders and asked anxiously, "What happened? Can we leave this place now?"
Even though Song Zhengang's life in this brigade was not as bad as he imagined, the people in the brigade were actually very caring towards him.
But Song Zhengang still hated this place. He was originally a high school teacher. Although he was not particularly outstanding, he was young and promising. He also had a happy family, a capable wife, and lovely children. But everything was ruined because of other people.
If not for this, he wouldn't have to do farm work in the countryside. He could have stood on the podium and taught, and perhaps he could have helped a few students who were in need in this life.
Instead of like now, one pair of hands can only use a hoe and a shovel to remove manure.
How could Song Zhengang like this team?
But Song Zhengang was still very grateful to the people he met here. The other people in the brigade did not trample on his self-esteem like those people he met in the county town, but treated him as a normal person.
It was normal for Song Zhengang to be so excited now. Gu Zhao had no intention of hiding the truth from Song Zhengang any longer, and he readily told Song Zhengang the news he had received. "My mother wrote to me, saying that many people in Liao Province have been rehabilitated, including my grandfather's colleagues. My family has also been rehabilitated, and the letter should be sent here soon, and then my grandfather and my father will be able to go home."
Song Zhengang was very excited when he heard the news. He had originally thought about what it would be like if he could really get his injustice vindicated one day. But when the day really came, Song Zhengang only felt uncontrollable excitement and grievance in his heart.
He couldn't help but buried his face in his hands and cried.
Originally, he wanted to avoid Gu Zhao a little, but in the end he didn't care whether Gu Zhao would laugh at him or not, and he cried out all the grievances, discomfort, and depression that he had felt in his heart over the years.
After crying, Song Zhengang felt relaxed all over. Even the stuffy heart felt a lot more open now.
He raised his hand sheepishly to wipe the tears from his face, "I am really making fun of you. I am so old, and I am still so excited."
"It's okay, I can understand. When I heard the news, I almost cried, let alone you, the person involved." Gu Zhao picked up the towel beside him and handed it to Song Zhenggang.
Song Zhengang wiped his face and then remembered what Gu Zhao had just said, "You just said that you have received a letter from your family. Does your grandfather know about it?"
Gu Zhao listened, nodded, and then shook his head, "The letter was just delivered yesterday, but my grandfather doesn't know about it yet, and I haven't told him."
Gu Zhao smiled again after he finished speaking, "Uncle Zhengang, you don't have to worry too much. This matter has to be redressed bit by bit. After a while, I'm sure you will have it fixed on your side."
Song Zhengang also smiled after hearing this. "I am just an ordinary high school teacher. I will definitely do it at the end. The most important thing is to have hope. I don't have to keep thinking about when it will end like before."
"Yes! We have just started, and the rest will be fine." Gu Zhao said.
After waiting for Gu Xingshu to wake up, Gu Zhao told him the news, and Gu Xingshu burst into tears again.
The first time I asked Gu Zhao, how is Gu Zhao's father doing now?
He has been here for many years, but he has never dared to ask how Gu Zhao's father is doing now. He knows that Gu Zhao's father is actually guilty of a serious crime, but he has never dared to ask Gu Zhao for fear that if something really happens, he will not be able to bear the responsibility, and he is also afraid that Gu Zhao will be implicated by his father.
Now that the matter has finally come to an end, Gu Xingshu can also ask about his son's current situation with peace of mind.
"Grandpa, don't worry, my dad is fine. He suffered a little on the farm, but there are people taking care of him. My dad lives a better life than us." Gu Zhao said with a smile.
Fortunately, their family members are all good-tempered. At work, I have not offended anyone except those with whom I have disagreed. So when this happened to their family, many people actually helped them and arranged their current place of exile and the farm where his father was exiled. Although they certainly can't live like at home, they will definitely not lose their lives.
Gu Zhao and his family are very satisfied with the current situation.
"Okay! Okay!" Gu Xingshu also covered his face to prevent everyone from seeing him crying.
Although he didn't say it, he was under a lot of pressure. After all, he was his only son. How could he not be worried?
In August, Gu Xingshu and Song Zhengang received the rehabilitation documents from above, and Gu Xingshu's son, Gu Shuyun, came to take Gu Xingshu back to Liao Province.
Along with the documents came Gu Xingshu’s property and house certificates that had been confiscated over the years, as well as his salary.
The team never thought that Gu Xingshu and his people would be able to return to Liao Province one day, so they curiously followed Gu Xingshu out of the team little by little. However, they were also worried that they would get involved in trouble, so they did not go forward to join in the fun. They just followed them from a distance and watched them leave the team.
"Aren't you going to say hello to your dad and grandpa?" Tian Tian turned around and looked at Gu Zhao who was also standing in the crowd.
"There's still a lot of time in the future. It doesn't matter if you don't say hello now." Gu Zhao said with a smile.
