When the old man and the old lady woke up, they felt that the world was going to change.
The girl who had been spoiled since childhood, who hated sunbathing and loved to show off, went to participate in militia training.
As for his grandson Liu Qian, he was lying on the bed groaning with wounds all over his body.
When asked who beat him, he naturally exaggerated Zhao Wei's evil deeds.
As a result, the two old men actually felt that Zhao Wei had done nothing wrong, and instead they scolded Liu Qian harshly.
"You are indeed going too far. How can you hit someone on the head with a stone?"
"Fortunately, the other party was lucky enough not to get hurt. Otherwise, no one would be able to protect you now."
"And you don't go to school at such a young age, do you think you can go to heaven?"
"Your mother can't control you, but we won't let you do that either. Get up! Stop playing dead here!"
Liu Qian originally thought that he could get some sympathy from the old man, but he didn't expect that the other party would speak to him so harshly.
Young people are at their most rebellious and they don't think before they speak. They just retort directly at that time.
"It's hateful. I'm already in this state. Do you two old people still have any conscience? Why do you have to torture me at this time?"
In response, he received a slap from the old lady.
"Asshole, you are becoming more and more uneducated. I told you to get up now!"
The old lady’s beating was quite painful, especially on the wound. Liu Qian really wanted to faint from the pain.
Unfortunately, he is a young man with strong resistance, so he can still handle such minor fights.
So, just when he was forced by the old man to read on the kang, Zhao Nan ran back.
She looked quite embarrassed at this moment, her whole face was sunburned and she was sweating profusely.
"Mom, you've only been out for less than an hour, why is it so hot? Did they abuse you?"
Liu Qian still has some protective feelings for his mother, so he is not too bad.
After Zhao Nan drank a bucket of well water, he began to complain.
"Xiao Qian, Mom has suffered a lot for you. You don't know that those people are really not human. They..."
Huangmao was just outside the door, and he was not happy to hear this.
"Humph, I'm here, stop accusing me here."
"What have you done in the past hour? The whole village is watching us. Who the hell bullied you?"
In many of their training subjects, the men had to do three sets of 50 squats, but she, a woman, only did eight and then cried out that she couldn't take it anymore.
To do one more would be like killing her.
Others are even more old-fashioned. She is just a delicate old woman. The men, young and old in the village frown when they see her. They all wish they could do it for her.
If these farmers only have this much ability, their entire family will starve to death.
Although Zhao Nan was very angry, he had no choice but to tell Liu Qian the purpose of his visit.
"Xiao Qian, um... I see that you are in good spirits and are able to read and study. How about... you go and take Mom's place?"
"Mom is old and can't take it anymore. You don't want her to die of exhaustion, do you?"
Liu Qian glanced at the yellow-haired man who was looking up at the sky outside, and then glanced at Zhao Nan who was staring at the shoe upper, and he couldn't help feeling angry.
Why is it him?
He took off his shirt, revealing his bruised and battered body.
"I'm injured and I'm just a child, and you... just have the heart to torture me, right?"
The yellow-haired man didn't respond. Zhao Nan hesitated for a moment and then returned to calm.
Things are getting tense.
Huang Mao glanced at the watch on his wrist, calculated the time and said, "We have already rested for half an hour. We can't delay any longer. It's time to carry out routine patrol missions."
Zhao Nan felt so regretful when he saw his son's aggrieved look that he felt like his intestines turned green.
If she had known this would happen, she would never have indulged Liu Qian and caused such a disaster.
Not only did he lose a watch, but he was now being tortured to death.
She silently put down the water scoop, her eyes reddened, and said to Liu Qian: "It's my fault. It's all my fault for raising you like this. I have to atone for my sins."
"It doesn't matter. No storm or wave can knock me down. I can do it!"
After saying this, he followed the yellow-haired man like a hero rushing to the battlefield.
Looking at Zhao Nan pretending to be strong, Liu Qian felt a little regretful.
After all, he is not young anymore.
In the past, boys aged fourteen or fifteen were already able to get married.
It's just that he was taken care of too well and always defined himself as a child.
Looking at the children of the same age in the village, they have already become the head of the family and can set up their own household.
Liu Qian couldn't concentrate on reading anymore. He even got off the kang impulsively and wanted to exchange Zhao Nan back.
But just as I walked out of the room, I saw Zhao Wei leading the old man and the old lady away.
It is said that you should go out of the village for a walk, instead of staying at home all day and doing some idle things.
The old man seemed like a different person since Zhao Nan came back. His sharp edge had long been restrained, and he even looked a bit more friendly.
If it were in the past, if Zhao Wei wanted him to go out for a walk, he would be absolutely unwilling to do so, as he disliked the dust, the strong sun, and the smell of cow dung and horse manure.
But now, it seems that I have understood that I will spend the rest of my life on this land, and my mentality has naturally changed. I want to see with my own eyes the living environment of my son and grandson.
The paths between the fields were surprisingly well maintained, very flat and spacious, without any overgrown weeds.
The seedlings in the fields are growing well, and as long as you look up, you can see people working together.
After weeding these days, everyone was assigned to do one thing.
In early spring, Zhao Wei led the whole village to dig out more river field silt, but they did not plant anything.
After the silt is dug out, it cannot be used directly and needs to be dried in the sun for three to six months. After all, it contains a high amount of water, impurities, and insects.
When spreading the fruits out to dry, lime is sprinkled on them to kill the ripeness.
This is a long process and it is also very hard.
Although everyone didn't understand, what Zhao Wei said made sense. After all, he was more educated than these peasants, so everyone chose to believe him.
As a result, the entire stretch of water along the river was filled with people spreading lime.
This kind of work is very hard, but a propaganda department was set up in the commune.
Those literary and artistic backbones have already been trained, and they can recite catchy rhymes at any time, which inspire people to cheer up and work hard. Only in this way can they create a better tomorrow with their diligent hands.
This was the first time that the old man, who had always been in a high position, had witnessed such a vibrant working scene.
He stood there and watched for a long time, feeling a lot of emotion.
In the past, his original intention was to ensure that people all over the world could have enough food to eat and live a happy life.
How did he go astray in the pursuit of power?
