Qin Dashu knew very well what the home was like originally. After obtaining Qin Huai's forgiveness, he calmed down and was surprised to find that both daughters were wearing new clothes and new shoes, their messy hair was tidy, and their spirits and appearances were refreshed.
The only one who can do all this is Qin Huai.
The house at home has also been repaired, and it was originally exposed to the sky.
Even if he wanted to do these things, it was not easy. How did the adopted son, who was so young, do it?
I wanted to ask a few questions, but when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say a single word.
A father's pride prevented him from opening his mouth.
So he took the water handed to him by the maid and put it aside and said, "Qin Huai, the family will depend on you from now on."
After saying that, he ran away.
The girl said, "Brother, why did Dad leave?"
"Maybe it's because it's getting late." Qin Huai looked at his figure without saying the real reason.
Is Qin Dashu cruel? Not really.
That he doesn't care about the old and young at home? Not really. He would send the extra salary back home without delay. Life is hard. Maybe a man chose someone he thinks is more important and didn't choose you.
But it would not be so easy for him to forgive Qin Dashu.
Qin Huai handed five dollars to the girl and said, "Give the money to grandpa later and tell him it was given by him." Thinking of Old Man Qin, who had worked hard all his life and had only ninety cents in savings, Qin Huai felt very sad.
The girl took it blankly and said, "Okay."
Although she couldn't understand Qin Huai's complicated heart, she didn't feel bad and refused this time.
Qin Xiaomi said, "Brother, my sister is going to school. We can't always call her 'girl'. The teacher has told her several times. Please give her a name."
Qin Huai slapped his head and said, "Blame me, blame me. Girl, what do you want to be called?"
The girl said indifferently: "Brother, just pick any one."
"We have Qin Xiaomi now. You can be called Qin Xiaoyun."
"Qin Xiaoyun, brother, this name is good, I like it." Qin Xiaomi also said it was nice. Qin Huai touched his nose. What's good about it? His mind is usually full of random thoughts, but when he really needs to use it, his brain is like a ball of paste and he can't think of anything.
Fortunately, the child is not picky.
Qin Dashu came and went like a gust of wind, and the two little girls forgot about him in a blink of an eye. They came to ask Qin Huai what he wanted to eat in the evening. Qin Huai said, "Whatever, you all need to eat enough, and eat a lot."
Girl, no, Qin Xiaoyun said with a smile: "Okay."
As Qin Huai awakened, the clouds of worry on her face were dispelled, she became much more cheerful, and she was no longer stingy when cooking.
Listening to the two people chattering in the straw hut, they were very satisfied with the current situation, but Qin Huai looked at the bare walls of his house and felt that he still had a long way to go.
It was drizzling outside. Every autumn rain brought a chill. Winter was too terrible, so he had to prepare early.
Just as they were preparing dinner, Qin Laoshuan's voice rang out from the big lama outside: "Comrades, comrades, tonight we will hold a meeting in the community building to remember the bitterness and sweetness of the past. Men, women, young and old must attend. After the meeting, the village will distribute "recalling the bitterness and thinking of the sweetness" rice. "Recalling the bitterness and thinking of the sweetness" rice.
The power of the last sentence was too strong. When the three Qin Huai siblings arrived, the venue was already crowded. Sister Hong waved to the two sisters in the crowd and said, "Girls, Xiaomi, come here."
Qin Xiaomi said, "Sister, my sister has a name now. It's Qin Xiaoyun."
An old lady said disdainfully: "Why give a little girl a name? I have lived my whole life without a name at my age."
Sister Hong said, "What era is this? Your era is long gone. Today we are here to criticize your old times."
The old lady was probably angry and said casually: "What was wrong with it before? When I was a maid in the landlord's house, I had delicious food every day, which was better than now."
Qin Laoshuan heard this in the crowd and pointed at her viciously, frightening her so much that she shrank her neck and complained, "It's all your fault."
Qin Laoshuan surveyed the venue from the podium and said, "Today's meeting requires us to emphasize politics, maintain a correct attitude, and strictly observe discipline to ensure effectiveness! Later, during the meeting, everyone must be serious and listen with class camaraderie to the stories of the abominable old society told by fellow members of the same class who have suffered so much. Afterward, we must share our learning experiences..."
Qinjiazhuang still used kerosene lamps. There were only three kerosene lamps lit in a venue with hundreds of people. The men smoked their pipes on the side, and the smoke swirled under the dim kerosene lamps, but no one disliked it. Most of the women brought needlework and did their own work under the light of the production team.
Under the dim kerosene lamp, all the old and young faces had one thing in common: they all looked pale.
Many people may be looking forward to the evening meal to recall the bitter past and cherish the sweet past, and the rumbling of hungry stomachs can be heard from time to time in the venue.
Qin Huai and his sister happened to sit next to Qin Man's family. Old man Qin coughed and said to Qin Man, "Let me change seats with you." The people next to them saw the reason and laughed. Qin Huai felt embarrassed, but he didn't expect that when Qin Man was leaving, she pinched his hand secretly with her fingers a few times.
When Qin Huai looked at it in surprise, he saw the old face of Old Man Qin in front of him, which frightened him so much that he immediately sat up straight.
The conference has already begun and it looks solemn and dignified. Qin Huai was born too late in his previous life and had no chance to participate in such a grand event. He didn't expect that he could have another chance to make up for it.
Qin Laoshuan was a versatile singer who could beat the beat and set the rhythm. The villagers were probably familiar with his routine. They sang along with his beat in a voice full of affection: "The sky is full of stars, the crescent moon is shining brightly. A meeting is held in the production team. People complain and vent their grievances. The evil old society..."
Accompanied by low singing, an old man walked towards the podium. He took off his hat, revealing his half-bald head, and first cleared his throat with "coughs, coughs". He took a breath and said: "Comrades, three generations of my family are poor and lower-middle peasants. We suffered from the oppression of landlords in the old society.
The old man from the Qin family said, "He's Wang Hanzi, the publicity expert from the next village. He's probably borrowed from us today."
Wang Hanzi's performance continued: "Not enough to eat, not enough to wear... As he spoke... he sobbed and forced himself to imagine the miserable situation. Then he spat, wiped the phlegm on the ground with his feet, blew his nose, and then wiped it with his sleeves. The shiny cuffs came from there.
If it weren't for this action, Qin Huai would still have some respect for him, but now he just feels disgusted.
The old man continued, "I remember one day, wearing tattered clothes and barefoot, I went to a landlord's house with my elderly father to beg for food. The gatekeeper not only refused to give us any, but also cursed us, saying, 'You poor devils, get out!' He let the dogs bite us and hit me on the head with a club. My head is still buzzing..."
Hearing this, many farmers in the audience burst into tears. The evil old society, the landlords and bullies were so hateful! Wang Hanzi was so excited that he couldn't continue speaking and just wiped his tears. The team leader Qin Laoshuan saw that the atmosphere had reached a climax and immediately raised his arms and shouted: "Don't forget the class suffering, remember the blood and tears of revenge!"
It was so lively. Qin Huai was watching intently when someone suddenly laughed in his ear.
