He Xiaoyou is young, but he is the most far-sighted among his brothers and sisters.
Through observation, he became keenly aware of the crisis hidden beneath his family's ordinary life.
As He Chunsheng's position in the factory became higher and higher, not only the neighbors in the yard, but also some colleagues whose careers were blocked by him had complaints about him and wanted to bring him down when they saw the right opportunity.
The most obvious thing is that he has no children in his family who go to the countryside, and he abuses his power for personal gain and acts lawless with the protection of the factory director.
To put it more seriously, it means not supporting the great man's policies, having incorrect thoughts, and being corrupted by the petty-bourgeois lifestyle that pursues hedonism.
The sensational movement spread from top to bottom and eventually reached the city.
Many factory executives were investigated and dismissed, and they went from high-ranking cadres to ordinary workers cleaning toilets and streets.
Many children in the yard have stopped going to school. They wear red armbands in groups and walk around the streets all day long, shouting slogans and wanting to criticize and overthrow this person.
Dr. Liu has been greatly affected. Apart from his job, he has recently stopped seeing patients.
Once, a few children brought a group of classmates and shouted that they wanted to raid He Chunsheng's house.
It was the highly respected Mr. Zhao who stood up and spoke a few fair words, forbidding similar incidents from happening in the yard, and called their parents to take the children home.
But the eager looks in those children's eyes showed that they would not give up.
As expected, He Chunsheng later caught several people delivering letters of denunciation to the Revolutionary Committee.
Fortunately, one of the children who was close to He Xiaojie informed him of the situation, which allowed him to intercept it in advance, otherwise it would have been another trouble.
Even if there is nothing shameful in his house, when people come to search his house, they will inevitably take away some valuable items.
He Chunsheng put down his tools and patted him on the shoulder. He was pleased that he had grown up, but also helpless that he was too impulsive.
"How old are you? Do you really need to worry about family matters? This matter won't last long. Factories need people to work and schools need people to study.
Aside from those with ulterior motives, who wouldn't want to live a peaceful life? Isn't it much quieter now than it was two years ago?"
He Chunsheng might have heard the rumors. Even Director Liu had implicitly reminded him to set an example and not let anyone catch him.
But in his heart, climbing up is to give his family a good life.
If I can't even protect my children, what's the point of being a cadre?
He Xiaoyou pursed his lips and said nothing, with his neck raised and a stubborn look on his face.
Wang Taozhi got angry when she saw this and kicked him. "Go dig up two cabbages from the vegetable garden. I think you've eaten too much and are feeling bloated. You've got nothing to do every day so you just want to daydream. From tomorrow on, you'll be chopping wood at home. If you work for a few more days, you'll behave yourself."
He Xiaoyou walked out the door silently, looking as if he had given up.
But the He family's stubborn nature is engraved in their genes, and He Ruixue always feels that he will not give up so easily.
In fact, it would be a good idea to wait until it gets warmer next year and go to a place where they only grow rice for one season and then go to the countryside. You don't have to work in the winter, so you can stay indoors and read and study.
After four years of settling down in the village, you can directly take the college entrance examination. If you stay in the city, you will have to work, and the hustle and bustle will only drain your energy.
Moreover, his experience of going to the countryside will be a bright spot if he goes into politics in the future, and his path will be easier.
More than a dozen chickens have been almost processed. He Qiu Sheng had already stewed the chickens on the stove, throwing in a handful of various mushrooms collected from the mountains, and some red dates that grew on the big tree at the entrance of the alley last year. It is very nutritious to eat in winter.
The pork that was slaughtered a few days ago has been kept in the cupboard. It can be kept in cold weather and there is no peculiar smell.
He took out a whole pork knuckle and stewed it with radish in a big pot, and then fried some pickled cabbage and tofu with hot peppers on a small stove.
Together with the sour and spicy chicken offal from more than a dozen chickens, the food was very filling and the table was filled with large porcelain basins instead of plates.
Zhao Meiya first scooped a spoonful of the old hen's soup for He Ruixue. Time was limited, and the chicken was more chewy.
He Ruixue had good teeth, so it was not difficult for her to bite the chicken. She was just worried that the two elderly people would not eat well, so she picked up the chicken legs and put them in the bowl, then helped them take out the meat and gave each of them half.
"Mom and Dad, eat more meat and drink some pig's trotter soup. If you can't finish it, don't force yourself to eat it. Let my third brother simmer it overnight. It will be mushy if you eat it tomorrow."
"Hey! Okay, you eat too."
He Dagen nodded quickly and took the bowl.
Zhao Meiya smiled, "Dongbao is the only one who knows how to love his parents. Your two brothers are useless. And your sister is not coming back this year. I think she has really become like spilled water. It's a waste of time to raise her."
"It's not easy for my brother-in-law to ask for leave. Second sister can't leave him alone in the military camp for the New Year. Besides, didn't she take time off to come back last year?"
Since Qiao Rui became the head of the group, his work has become increasingly busy, and his second sister and her husband have not been back for two years.
Zhao Meiya is now content with following He Ruixue. She doesn't have to endure gossip during the New Year in the village, so she doesn't bother to care at all.
Perhaps He Xiasheng felt guilty, so he returned to his hometown with his children last year and stayed at He Ruixue's home for the New Year reunion.
Zhao Meiya got angry when she talked about this. "It's better not to reply. You just come here to make me angry. You keep asking me every day if Qiao Rui is okay over there.
Everyone was so happy, except her, who looked like she had lost her soul. It really spoiled the fun and made me angry just watching her."
It’s no wonder she has an opinion. It’s really that He Xiasheng’s love brain is at the level of digging wild vegetables.
After eating the delicious food, she said with a lonely look on her face that it would be great if Qiao Rui was here.
Xiaofeng and Xiaoyun were playing with firecrackers, and she kept talking about how great her father was. He said he had controlled not only firecrackers but even cannons.
Then he began to talk incessantly about their past love affairs, and the two siblings covered their ears and hid away.
