Chapter 78 Sixties Chronicle 38
In 1970, the tenth year that Feng Wu had been on the farm, some of those who had committed rightist crimes were gradually rehabilitated. That year, Mr. Song and his colleagues also had their injustices redressed.
Feng Wu and Gao Nanting brought their aunt and two cousins from a small fishing village to the farm a month in advance, and the family was finally reunited.
In the past ten years, Feng Wu has been sending money and nutritional supplements to his aunt on a regular basis every month. Although he has worked hard these years, he has hardly ever gone hungry, and his health is a hundred times better than in his previous life.
As soon as Mr. Song left the farm, Mr. Zhong also received the news of his rehabilitation.
The family sat together and talked about future plans, and everyone was relatively silent.
Ten years in prison have made them lose their former high spirits. Song Jingyi's previous job has been replaced by someone else, and he can only start from scratch if he goes back now. Song Jingtong is even more confused.
He studied mechanics in college. Before the labor reform, he was a technician at the Beijing Machinery Factory. Now that he was almost fifty years old, he didn't want to just go into the factory and work as a technician with some young people.
This place that makes them hate and love it, and they find it hard to let go for a while.
At present, the endless rice fields in Jiufenchang are filled with heavy rice ears.
The artificial lake covering hundreds of acres is home to fat fish.
These were all dug out by them, shovel by shovel.
In the end, everyone unanimously decided to stay. As long as the family is together, anywhere is home.
The state gave them the subsidies that should have been paid in recent years in one lump sum, so they had some extra money and were not worried.
The farm naturally welcomes comrades who are willing to stay.
They were granted a residential plot to build houses. Over the past ten years, the two families have become one family and built a row of brick houses next to each other on a relatively open land.
Many prisoners who were affected by the rightist issue and had no ties also stayed on the farm with Mr. Song and his men.
In less than two years, that area of brick and tile houses became a major scenic spot in Jiufenchang.
As time passed, more and more employees worked in Jiufen Field, and the original simple cellar was transformed into a series of small buildings.
During the large-scale "Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside" movement, educated young people from all over the country came to Jiufenchang to shed their blood and build a better home.
Another decade later, the originally desolate and remote north has been transformed into the country's granary in the hands of the working people.
The spring breeze of reform and opening up blew into the country, and there was a first person to try it out. Gao Nanting seized this trend and contracted nearly 10,000 acres of land.
With the help of mechanical engineer Song Jingtong, he spent nearly half of his family fortune to buy dozens of agricultural machines of various types.
Gao Nanting felt embarrassed to spend his wife's money to buy these expensive machines, but when he saw his wife's nonchalant look, he felt sweet in his heart.
I hugged her and loved her for a long time at night, and secretly swore in my heart that I must make a lot of money to support my wife and make her fat and healthy.
Sun Qi followed his brother Ting, who was not as generous, and he and his wife contracted about 1,000 acres of land.
If you need a machine, you can rent one from Brother Ta Ting.
Gao Nanting only has this one brother in his life who is so open and sincere to him, so of course he doesn't want to accept him, but Sun Qi is not a narrow-minded person.
It was another bumper harvest year. Gao Nanting took his beloved wife to see the grain he had harvested. "Wife, if you sell these, your husband can buy you a car."
Feng Wu didn't have such big ideas about the car, but she couldn't dampen a man's enthusiasm, so she hugged him and praised him warmly, "My Nan Ting is great. Everyone envies me for marrying a good husband!"
Gao Nanting looked at his wife with bright eyes, looking proud and arrogant. He felt so fond of her that he no longer had the desire to show off. He held his wife's face and kissed her tender and plump lips passionately.
"Hiss, oh, Dad, Dad, it hurts, please be gentler!" Sun Qingyang covered his ear that was twisted by his father, grimacing in pain.
Sun Qi slapped his son's head in annoyance and shouted through gritted teeth, "You're sneaking around to watch your Uncle Gao having fun. Are you itching for trouble?"
Sixteen-year-old Sun Qingyang wasn't afraid of his paper tiger father at all. He cheerfully defended himself, "You're wrongly accusing your own son. It was my mom who asked me to come over and call my aunt for dinner!"
"Hey, you're showing off, little brat! Your uncle Gao will definitely give you more homework later, so you won't be looking at things you shouldn't be looking at." Sun Qi kicked his eldest son on the butt and looked back at the half-open granary door. "Let's go back first. Your aunt and the others will be here soon."
Brother Ting's enthusiasm for his wife has never cooled down in the past twenty years. He always talks about his wife, and everyone on the farm knows that he is a wife-showing maniac.
Even if this daughter-in-law did not give him a son or daughter.
At the beginning, many people on the farm talked about and laughed at him because of the issue of having children, but Brother Ting himself didn't care at all. If he met someone who said something excessive, he would just go to their door with a shovel and start digging into their house.
He also claimed that he was unable to have children and that his wife was wronged by following him. He would not be polite to anyone who dared to say anything about him in front of his wife.
The ferocious look on his face was so fierce and cruel that it frightened the person so much that he apologized and made amends on the spot and never dared to talk nonsense again.
After a few times, no one dared to talk about it in front of Feng Wu.
Everyone started to laugh at Gao Nanting in private, saying that he was not a man, and Sun Qi felt sorry for his brother Ting.
Gao Nanting still does his own thing. Whether he is capable or not, his wife knows it!
Life got better and better, and people grew older. The couple sent the old man away one after another, and watched Song Jingtong pass away peacefully. Feng Wu's mission was almost completed.
When Feng Wu was sixty years old, Gao Nanting completely put down the things at hand, handed over most of the family property to the country, and distributed a small part to Feng Wu's nephews and grandchildren, who followed Feng Wu around all day long.
No matter what they do, they always hold hands. At night, they hold each other tightly in their arms and sigh, "Little Phoenix, you have to stay with me a little longer. I haven't had enough of you yet!"
Touching the old man's still handsome face, the little old lady Feng Wu smiled softly, "Okay, I will try to live a few more years and accompany you, okay?"
Gao Nanting felt hot all over because of Feng Wu's coaxing tone. He couldn't help but gently bite his wife's still rosy lips and murmured softly, "Little Phoenix, I miss you..."
Feng Wu: “…” Didn’t you just think about it last night?
This old man is over 60 years old and still does it so frequently. Isn't it bad for his health?
The old man was nearly eighty years old when his health suddenly failed. Looking at his wife's appearance which had not changed much, Gao Nanting cried with red eyes, "Wife, if I die, will you find another old man?"
Feng Wu, who was originally very anxious: "..."
"Don't look for another old man, okay? I'll wait for you by the Naihe Bridge first. If I don't drink Mengpo soup, you have to be my wife in the next life!"
He endured like this for more than half a year. Feng Wu saw that he was having a hard time and looked so stubborn that he would not die until he died. He sighed helplessly.
This old body was really uncomfortable to use, so Feng Wu quickly withdrew most of his body functions, said to the stubborn old man, "See you in the next world", and then closed his eyes and died.
The moment the soul came out, the world consciousness of the small world immediately rejected this overly powerful soul.
Before Gao Nanting had time to tell his nephews and grandchildren, he anxiously pulled his wife's hand and shouted, "Wait for me, wife!"
People also lost their lives.
The whole family gathered in the hospital ward and watched helplessly as the two old men and women chased each other.
Everyone: "..." Can we still compete like this?
…
…
The road is long and the distance is far, but I have found my way home.
