"Old Cai, here is the rehabilitation notice for you and Comrade Zhou."
In the fields, Bai Lianshan found Cai Qingwen, waved a cowhide document bag at him, and said to him with a smile.
Cai Qingwen stared at him blankly, then at the thing in his hand, and moved his lips: "..."
"Congratulations, but you're going back."
Bai Lianshan smiled and congratulated him again, this time reaching out and patting his shoulder hard.
"You said, you said, we are vindicated?!"
Cai Qingwen seemed to have not yet come to his senses and repeated it mechanically.
"Yes, you have been rehabilitated, Lao Cai, you can leave here and go back."
Bai Lianshan understood and understood Cai Qingwen's feelings. From the Meng family to Old Feng and his grandson, and now to Cai Qingwen, these were the expectations and hopes that many of them had brought him.
As it turned out, this time, they finally got what they were waiting for.
"Woo woo woo, we've been vindicated, and we can finally go back."
After Cai Qingwen finished saying this, he suddenly squatted on the ground like a child and burst into tears.
Bai Lianshan, Su Huaiyuan and Su Ze beside him, and several people in the cowshed who worked together could not help but have red eyes.
The hardships and suffering involved, being forced to work day and night in a mountain village thousands of miles away, that kind of torment is hard to imagine.
"Old Cai, it's finally your turn to be vindicated. This is a great event, you should be happy."
"Oh, tell Lao Zhou quickly, tell her quickly."
"Hahaha, we have delicious food again tonight. Lao Cai and Lao Zhou can't miss this meal."
"That's right, go back and get ready. We'll go over to eat after work."
"Congratulations, Mr. Cai. I like Mr. Zhou. The past is over now. A new one will come tomorrow."
…
Su Huaiyuan, Bai Lianshan, and several people from the cowshed, Su Ze hurried to comfort him in disguise. In fact, everyone envied him.
"Okay, I'll go now and invite everyone to my house for dinner tonight."
Cai Qingwen regained his senses, wiped the tears from his face, stood up, smiled and invited everyone, then went to the nearby field to find his wife to report the good news.
People not far away don’t know this good news yet.
"You said we were vindicated?!"
Zhou Meihua couldn't believe her ears. Although she had been looking forward to this day and knew they had been rehabilitated, it felt a little unreal now.
"Yes, we have been rehabilitated, and we can go back."
Cai Qingwen stepped forward and held his wife's hand tightly, feeling her excitement, and he himself felt the same.
"Okay, okay, okay."
Zhou Meihua's tears immediately fell. It was so good, so good that she didn't even know what to say.
This day, they finally got what they had been waiting for.
"Old Zhou, Old Cai, congratulations! Send a telegram to your daughter tomorrow to tell her the good news."
"Congratulations, Uncle Cai, Aunt Zhou! Will there be delicious food tonight?!"
Qiao Jiuru was really happy for them. They came two years earlier than him. Fortunately, the hardships were finally over and the sweetness came.
Zhou Wanwan was extremely envious, wondering when it would be her family's turn, and whether her parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law would also be rehabilitated.
"Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Wan and Lao Qiao, we're treating you to dinner tonight, and we need your help."
Cai Qingwen said with a hearty smile, now he seemed to have recovered his pre-release self, the news of rehabilitation soothing away most of his helplessness and despair.
Not long after Old Feng returned to Hai City, he wrote to them. The letter explained that he had been reinstated and had returned to his original position. The previously confiscated property had been returned to him, and he had also received a salary. Now, he and Lu no longer had to worry about going hungry.
In addition to the letters, he also sent a large bag of Haishi specialties to everyone. 떚路 also sent a large bag of Haishi snacks, cakes, and candies to Dabao and Xiaobao.
The letter that Lao Feng wrote to everyone soothed Cai Qingwen's worries and gave him great confidence.
Zhou Meihua, Qiao Jiuru, and Zhou Wanwan cooked dinner together. Now, only their two families, the father and mother, and Old Li who was alone were left.
Cai Qingwen invited Bai Lianshan, Uncle Jiu, and several other team leaders, but they couldn't even get two tables together.
However, everyone was very happy, happy for Cai Qingwen and Zhou Meihua.
The couple decided to leave early the next morning and packed their belongings, taking the necessary food, money, and bedding. Any leftovers would be given to everyone else, and any extra would be sold to the production team.
Bai Lianshan's eldest son came to pick them up early in the morning in a bullock cart. Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru took Dabao and Xiaobao to send Cai Qingwen and Zhou Meihua to the commune to take the bus. Su Ze and Zhou Wanwan were left alone to watch them leave.
