Chapter 59: Strike First



With the intensified class struggle and the development of the revolutionary faction, what Zhou Yian feared finally happened.

Although I already knew the history, when I really faced it, the torrent still hit everything.

But what Zhou Yian never expected was that in addition to various things happening in the city, the first family to be affected in the countryside was Aunt Qi's family.

As a family that has been sentenced and has a rather notorious reputation.

The first target was their home.

There was nothing wrong with the house, but some things inside were smashed. Aunt Qi and the others didn't dare to step forward to stop it and could only watch.

Zhou Yian was a little scared when he saw this scene, as he didn't know what the situation in the city was like.

But even though I was worried, I knew it was not something I could control, so I had to do my own thing.

For example, digging wild vegetables.

I didn't expect that even though she thought she was not love-brained, she would still be reduced to digging wild vegetables.

But I have to dig it up. I have eaten enough cabbage and radishes in winter. Now the vegetables have just been planted and have not sprouted yet, so I have to come out to the mountains to find some fresh vegetables.

At this time of year, most of them are still yellow, but the big garlic, also known as garlic chives, and dandelions have already turned green.

Anyway, Zhou Yian can just dig as much as he wants. Although the wild beasts are hungry at the beginning of spring and cannot go to the mountains, there are still many of them at the foot of the mountain. When the time comes, he can store more in the space so that he will have wild vegetables to eat in the winter.

First, clean the mud and roots of the big melon, then add some salt and sauce and it becomes a dish. As for the dandelion, it has a bit of bitter taste, but it is also delicious after blanching and pairing with eggs.

Later, Village Chief Ge stepped in and the situation improved a lot. Originally, some children were unwilling to go to school, but under Village Chief Ge's strictness, in addition to breaking the feudal superstitions of each family, Gejiazhuang gradually settled down.

Zhou Yian and Song Songbai were also slowly doing their own things, preparing for the upcoming spring planting.

This is when the cow comes in handy.

Zhou Yian knew that plowing the land was not an option, so he asked to go and collect grass for pigs in the spring.

Although the work points for pig grass are not much, it is easy, especially since Zhou Yian still has space, which saves even more effort.

Now, most of the people cutting grass for pigs are children, and Zhou Yian, an adult, feels a little embarrassed to be mixed in with them.

But Ge Qing was quite happy. Zhou Zhiqing was obviously from a big city, and she still yearned for the city.

Then he followed Zhou Yian.

"Qingzi, has your sister-in-law given birth?" Zhou Yian asked. It had been several months since he first visited Village Chief Ge at his home. By now, she should have given birth.

"Yes, she gave birth. She is almost out of confinement. It's a boy." Ge Qing replied.

"That's good, I can take care of myself during the confinement period." The delivery period is comfortable, I just stay at home, and there are a lot of things to eat during the New Year.

She can also calculate when she will give birth. When can she have confinement at this time when it is not hot? Zhou Yian had wild thoughts.

After harvesting pig grass, he would take it to the pig pen to calculate his work points. Each basket earned him one work point. Zhou Yian calculated that harvesting three or four baskets a day was still easy, so harvesting pig grass was still more profitable.

After collecting grass for the pigs, she returned home feeling relaxed. It seemed that Song Songbai was still busy, so she decided to cook. She couldn't let him do everything.

Although her cooking skills were only average, she saved the trouble of adding ingredients. In those days, people were basically short of oil and salt, so if they lacked oil, they could just go to Ge Qiuze to buy it. It was really convenient.

You don't have to go through the station party in the city.

There were also some conservatives, who sometimes engaged in armed fights.

There are quite a lot of tricks. I finally understand why weapons were banned later.

Several people died after the fight, and some people became frightened and gradually became better.

It’s not as chaotic going into the city at this time as it was some time ago.

During this peaceful time, Zhou Yian clearly heard the issued documents coming from the radio.

"The countryside is a vast world where you can achieve great things."

"It is very necessary for educated youth to go to the countryside."

It’s finally here, Zhou Yian said with peace of mind.

He exchanged a glance with Song Songbai and said, "Then there will be more people in our yard."

"Then let's build our own yard and move out?" Song Songbai didn't want to get involved with others.

"That won't do," Zhou Yian refused. "This courtyard was provided by our resettlement subsidy. Is it going to be given away for free to the people behind us?"

Song Songbai was amused by her and managed the household frugally.

"This yard is big. Let the village chief decide how to divide it up."

I had originally planned to bring Zhou Yian into the city this year, but now I have to see the situation. Village Chief Ge here is still managing well, so I have to wait until the city is settled before going into the city.

Even his father and master wrote to him, asking him and his wife to stay in the countryside for another two years, work hard, and strive to become model workers.

When the movement first started, everyone was divided into revolutionaries and conservatives. Each faction had its own reasons, and there was some noise.

In Song Songbai's eyes, since he would not live there for more than one or two years anyway, it was okay not to build a house. After all, building a house was not that simple and required interpersonal relationships.

If there are not many educated youth coming here, this yard will be big enough for them to live in. They can build their own kitchen and basically separate themselves.

Zhou Yian thought about it and said, "If the educated youth really come here, let them build their own kitchen, otherwise they will have to eat together."

I have made up my mind and will talk to the village chief about this matter.

The village chief has a hard life and has a lot of things to do.

But it also needs to be discussed in advance. If you say it first, you can sell it well. Otherwise, the educated youth will be stuffed into this yard directly.

You can only suffer in silence.

He who strikes first gains the advantage, and he who strikes last suffers.
