Zhang Xudong had no idea about the commotion outside. After he returned home, he received another piece of surprising news.
He Jingxian and his parents decided to stay here for the Spring Festival.
Thanks to the joint efforts of countless people, the three new houses were completed on the day of the Little New Year.
The old ladies from the neighborhood committee were afraid that the dampness in the house would be bad for the calligraphy, so they burned charcoal fire in the new house day and night.
Under the leadership of their grandmother, they decorated the three rooms while warming the fire.
They want to get everything ready before the New Year so that it can be open on the Spring Festival day.
So, when He Jingxian said she wanted to take the calligraphy to the Northeast, a group of old ladies were unhappy.
When exhibiting this treasure alone, how can the effect be better than exhibiting two treasures together?
More than a dozen old ladies took turns to persuade He Jingxian and her family of three.
Please ask them to go back after the Lantern Festival and let the calligraphy be displayed here for ten days or half a month, as a way to support the construction of the red education base.
He Dapao was in a dilemma this time. He didn't dare to raise his voice to those old ladies.
He Dapao had no choice but to call the farm and explain the situation.
There's nothing they can do over there. A group of old ladies are refusing to let the person go. Can they send someone to get him back?
In this way, He Jingxian and her family of three could not leave and could only spend the Lantern Festival here.
Zhang Xudong was delighted when he heard this. The old ladies were so powerful that they could complete such a difficult task.
Zhang Xudong walked around the middle yard and thought the layout was quite good and well-organized.
There is a sign for the Treasure Exhibition Hall hanging on the door of the main house in the middle.
In the center of the room was a large table covered with a glass cover, and the two calligraphy works were spread out and placed on the table.
There is a small display stand on each side of the large table, on which are placed badges of great men made of various materials.
There are dozens of them, large and small, ranging from the Yan'an period to the present.
The sign hanging at the door of the east room reads Qingshan County Martyrs Memorial Hall.
It displays the deeds of all the revolutionary martyrs from Qingshan County.
The west room has a sign that reads Qingshan County Hall of Honor.
It displays the deeds of heroes, advanced individuals and advanced collectives in Qingshan County.
"Grandma, you guys did a great job. You must be exhausted these days, right?"
Zhang Xudong said to his grandmother who looked more energetic than before.
"Why should I be tired? This is all thanks to everyone.
You haven’t seen how lively it is those days. There are crowds of people here from morning to night.
People from miles around and even further away came to help." Grandma said with a smile.
"There shouldn't be enough food, right? It would be bad if everyone came to help on an empty stomach," said Zhang Xudong.
“Not only is there no shortage of food, but the food supply is increasing.
Those who came to help brought their own dry food, and the most they had was some hot water to drink.
They even had to be persuaded to drink the broth. They would rather eat the various substitute foods they brought with them than touch the steamed bread provided.
Finally, we couldn't stand it anymore, so we distributed it to everyone, so that everyone could have a steamed bun every day.
The meat processing plant also had people deliver some pig bones and offal every day to ensure that there was broth to drink every day.
For some people who cannot come to help, you can bring a handful of grains, and I will bring some potatoes and cabbages.
Fortunately, some people came over, left some money and tickets, and turned away.
So, the house was built, but the money, tickets and food became more and more.
Finally, on the day of Little New Year, I asked my comrades in the civil affairs department to go door to door to deliver gifts to the homes of martyrs and heroes.
I distributed some of the food, money, and coupons to them, hoping they can have a peaceful New Year."
The old lady gave Zhang Xudong a brief account of what had happened in the past few days.
After hearing this, Zhang Xudong gave the old lady a thumbs up.
"Gao, you did a great job!
Especially those families with disabled veterans, most of them live worse than ordinary lives.
Grandma, I think you can invite some veterans here more often to tell people their stories.
This will not only allow people to understand their contributions, but also provide them with appropriate subsidies.”
"This method works, you can give it a try." Grandma said after hearing it. On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the neighborhood committee and Zhang Xudong's family moved into the new house.
Zhang Xudong originally planned to wait for the house to air out before moving in after the New Year.
But the old ladies in the neighborhood committee didn't say a word, just called a group of young men and started moving the things away.
Zhang Xudong had no choice but to let them do as they pleased.
The Taoist priest happened to come back in the afternoon. There were many houses in the new house, so he occupied one of them without any hesitation.
"Dongzi, this is your uncle Sima Hongyan's martyrdom certificate, signed by the master himself.
The other documents have been sent to Wancheng, and your sister will no longer be implicated by the class background issue."
After the old Taoist priest had packed up his things, he handed Zhang Xudong a certificate.
Zhang Xudong felt mixed emotions after taking it.
If this certificate had come earlier, my poor aunt and cousin would not have been forced to death.
Zhang Xudong discussed it with his grandmother and then called Sima Nianfang.
After receiving the call, Sima Nianfang immediately asked for leave to go home.
She was going to visit the graves of her parents and brothers and tell them the good news.
Zhang Xudong made an appointment with her, and he would go to Wanping at that time to visit the grave of his uncle and his family of three.
The new year has arrived in the midst of busyness.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the education base was officially opened to the public.
From the moment the gate opened in the morning, there was a constant stream of people coming.
Even with the help of the old ladies from the neighborhood committee, grandma and the two staff members were still very busy.
Zhang Xudong and He Jingxian were afraid that the old lady would be too tired, so they took Zhang Xiyan with them to help.
He Junqiang and his wife, who came as guests, acted like hosts, doing everything from cooking, chopping wood, and fetching water.
The Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival passed in the busyness.
Zhang Xudong sent Sima Nianfang away one after another; sent He Jingxian and her family of three away; and sent the old Taoist away.
After everyone left and the room was empty, Zhang Xudong couldn't stay any longer.
There are so many good things in his space, and he is eagerly waiting for an opportunity to take them out.
After much consideration, he felt that going to Hong Kong City would be the most appropriate option.
After all, it is a world-class metropolis, and no matter what you do, it won't be noticeable.
In addition, with a Hong Kong ID card, it will be convenient to travel to any country in the future.
Zhang Xudong left as soon as he said he would leave. He told his grandmother that he was going on a long trip. He walked out of the house under Zhang Xiyan's aggrieved gaze.
The old lady has now abandoned her grandson who has been away from home for years.
Do whatever you want, as long as you can stay active and energetic.
