Xiaopang shook his head frantically and explained, "I didn't, I really didn't. Grandpa somehow ran over there when we were playing, and then someone suggested it, but we didn't throw it away."
Gu Jianqiang suddenly said, "It's not that you didn't throw it, it's that Yu'an didn't allow you to throw it, right? That's why you two are unhappy with each other, right?"
After listening to his grandfather's words, Xiaopang nodded and said, "Yeah."
Gu Jianqiang listened to his words, then sighed and said, "It's a good thing you didn't do anything, otherwise this would be troublesome. Forget it, I'll tell you, you don't understand, so go back first."
Grandpa Xiaochubby didn't get angry and continued, "Grandpa, I want to go find An An."
Gu Jianqiang said: "An An doesn't want to see you at this time, go back first."
After hearing the words of thanks from Grandpa, Xiaopang nodded and followed his grandfather back: "Okay then."
On the second day after the Chinese New Year, most people in the village went to visit relatives.
…………
Southeastern border of Longguo, late February 1970, Shanqiao Village.
After the Chinese New Year, it’s time to start work, spring plowing.
Spring plowing is the best time of the year in this village because it is cool and refreshing, and people are more energetic when working. It is not as hot as in summer.
Village Party Secretary Gu Ren, Village Chief Gu Jianqiang and other village cadres held a meeting the day before spring plowing to discuss how to arrange the division of labor.
The next day, everyone took the people assigned to their respective work areas to work.
During the spring ploughing period, except for children and the elderly who are unable to work, everyone else has thrown themselves into the ploughing craze.
This craze did not gradually subside until May.
At the Gu family, Gu Ranzhou and they were eating around a table at noon. At this time, Gu Jianqiang came hurriedly.
Gu Ranzhou was picking up some food when he heard footsteps. He turned to look at the door and saw Gu Jianqiang running in. "Fourth brother, why are you so anxious? What happened?"
Gu Jianqiang stopped in front of them, took a breath and said, "Someone's coming from the town."
Gu Ranzhou asked casually, "Who is it?"
Gu Jianqiang explained: "We are here to pick up the people from the cowshed."
"What?" Lin Feng suddenly stood up and shouted, then realized what he had done. But he could not care less and said to Gu Jianqiang, "Well, I'm really sorry, Village Chief."
Gu Jianqiang already knew about it, and he had no intention of pursuing the matter. After all, he had turned a blind eye to it before. "There's nothing to be sorry about. I understand. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You guys go and take a look first."
"Okay then."
Several people put down their bowls and chopsticks and didn't even plan to eat. Xiaobai originally wanted to follow them out, but the owner said it was not allowed to leave the yard. It ran to the young master and asked the young master to take it out.
Seeing that his father and the others were not eating, Gu Yu'an walked out and asked his brother, "What's wrong, brother?"
Lu Haoyu walked up to Gu Yu'an and grabbed his hand, feeling a little nervous, but he didn't show any excessive expression and said, "Nothing."
When a few people hurried to the cowshed, there were several soldiers guarding outside the cowshed. The old man and his friends had already finished their meal and were chatting with a middle-aged man in military uniform.
The middle-aged man heard the noise and turned around to see the people rushing over. He waved his hand and called out calmly, "Xiao Wu, A Feng."
Lu Zhenchuan hadn't expected that the person who came would be his second brother. He asked in surprise, "Second brother, why are you here?"
Lu Haoyu: "Father."
Lu Zhenlang stood up and explained, "Although the situation in the imperial capital hasn't been completely resolved, it's almost done. The rest of the people who were demoted have been recalled. To avoid any accidents, I came here."
"Pack your things, we're leaving today and we have to hurry back."
Lu Zhenchuan was shocked and said, "Ah, so fast."
Lu Zhenlang heard what his younger brother said and asked in confusion, "What did you say?"
Lu Zhenchuan shook his head and said, "No, second brother, you heard wrongly. My situation is different from Afeng's. If I go back, I have to file a report."
To put it bluntly, he was just looking for an excuse to go back later. He knew that redress would come quickly, and now that spring plowing was over, he thought he wouldn't have a good talk with his wife for a while. How could this be possible? He absolutely couldn't go back now, at least not in two or three days.
Lu Zhenlang didn't expect that the other party still didn't want to go back. He took out the report from his pocket and directly blocked his brother's escape route: "I have already prepared it for you, look."
Lu Zhenchuan sighed and said, "No need to be so fast."
"young married woman."
Lu Zhenlang looked at Gu Ranzhou, who was standing silently at the side, with eyes full of admiration and asked, "Ranzhou, will you come with us?"
Gu Ranzhou shook his head and refused, "No, I won't go. I've discussed it with Zhenchuan. I'll go in two or three years."
Lu Zhenlang looked at his brother with some confusion: "Zhenchuan."
Lu Zhenchuan said, "Well, second brother, I've discussed it with my wife. I'll go back in a few days."
Then he immediately said, "In a few days, we won't go back together."
Old Master Xu spoke up to help, "Alright, since Zhenchuan said he'd go back in a few days, that's all. Let the young couple have a good talk. After all, it'll be a long time before they see each other again."
Gu Yu'an seemed to understand somewhat, so he grabbed his brother's hand and asked, "Brother, are you leaving too?"
Lawrence Lu didn’t really want to answer this question, but he nodded and explained, “Well, I have to go.”
Gu Yu'an immediately refused to do so: "No, brother, please don't leave. Can you stay with me?"
Gu Ranzhou also knew that An An and Xiao Yu had always lived together, and they had a deep affection for each other, so he could only comfort her: "An An."
Gu Yu'an turned to look at his father and begged, "Dad, can you please not leave?"
Gu Ranzhou had no choice but to say, "Then I'll take you there later, okay?"
Gu Yu'an shook his head and tugged at Lu Haoyu's hand tightly: "No, no, I just want my brother."
Gu Ranzhou sighed and said to An An, "Then An An, can you go with your brother?"
"What about Dad?" Gu Yu'an was very happy after hearing this, but asked his father again.
Gu Ranzhou shook his head and said, "Dad doesn't plan to leave. He'll leave later."
Gu Yu'an was stunned when he heard his father's words. He didn't want to be separated from his father. "No." He thought for a long time before looking at his brother apologetically and said, "Brother, I'll come to see you with Dad later, okay?"
Lu Haoyu also knew that An An was still young and couldn't leave her uncle, and her uncle said that he would go to the imperial capital in a while, "Okay."
