Qin Nian spoke up, and Shen Xianjun also shouted from the side.
"Mother-in-law, Mom."
"It's great that you two are together."
Professor Wen was very pleased to hear this, and Yang Yufen responded in kind.
"Yes, Mom's here."
Li Wen has already walked over.
"Mom, Dad."
Li Wen shouted into the conversation.
Upon hearing the voice, Qin Nian's eyes welled up with tears; she missed her child so much.
"Come on, tell your mom and dad."
Professor Wen asked Li Wen to move closer.
"Mom, Dad, my brother went to special training. He's not here. I'm in the gifted youth program now too."
Qin Nian listened to the voice on the phone. Li Wu wasn't home. Qin Nian was slightly taken aback, and then she heard Professor Wen's voice.
Professor Wen explained the current situation of the two children, and Qin Nian listened quietly.
"Won't Da Bao suffer a lot?"
Qin Nian didn't feel that she was suffering during the two years she was abroad, but she couldn't help but feel heartache when she thought of her child.
"If you can, give Li Wu a call."
Professor Wen gave Qin Nian his phone number, which Qin Nian memorized.
Knowing that everything was alright at home and that the two children were being well-behaved, Qin Nian and Shen Xianjun felt relieved. However, the call time was limited, and they had to hang up no matter how reluctant they were to do so.
"I never thought that Xianjun and Niannian could be together. That's good. They can discuss things together when something happens."
Professor Wen was talking to Yang Yufen after hanging up the phone.
"Yes, they've always been separated for long periods of time, so I never expected they'd have this opportunity to work together."
Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Professor Wen sighed.
In the last year of the 1980s, when the spring breeze of reform swept across the land and everything was thriving, some unpleasant remarks emerged.
"These individual business owners are making a fortune. That's capitalism. They're just using this as a pretext to swindle money from ordinary people and fatten their own pockets."
After so many years of reform and opening up, Gui Xiang never expected that she would hear such words again. She originally thought that these people were just making a few impassioned remarks and did not pay any attention to them.
But that evening, I heard the news that my niece's Lianxiangji restaurant had been vandalized and that she had been hospitalized.
"How did you get so badly injured? What the hell are these people doing?!"
Gui Xiang was heartbroken to see her niece's arm cut with a large, stitched wound.
"Auntie, I'm fine."
Lianxiang quickly spoke up to comfort Guixiang.
"It wasn't just Lianxiangji that was vandalized; many other shops were also damaged. The other party led a large group of people there, thinking that they could get away with it because of the sheer number of people involved. It was clearly premeditated, and I'm afraid they had ulterior motives."
Mr. Qian helped Lianxiang hold her hand so the doctor could stitch her up.
Yang Yufen and Aunt Wang were completely unaware of the turmoil here. Spring and summer were the busiest times, and the weeds in the orchard grew incredibly fast. They were busy fertilizing and pruning, and couldn't keep up with everything.
"This is it. They actually managed to rent out two mountains. Look at the breeding farm they built there. They must be making a lot of money. And those red brick houses, they're even two-story villas!"
I think it's just the big landlords. We farmers have to pay grain taxes, and these people are using our grain to line their own pockets. They can't see the poverty of the masses. Let's smash it up!
The leader stirred up the crowd's emotions, including those who had profited from previous operations, who stared at everything in the orchard as if it were a piece of fat meat.
