1968
As Lu Xiaoran and her classmates walked out of the cinema, they saw Peter Ho riding a bicycle towards them.
"Sister Xiaoran, something happened to Uncle Lu and Aunt Shen."
She was shocked when she heard this. Everything was fine when her parents went to work in the morning. How could this happen?
She asked anxiously: "Zhen Ting, what did you say? What happened to my parents?"
Peter Ho pulled her to a deserted place and told her what had happened in a low voice.
"Sister Xiaoran, those people found unfavorable evidence in your house and have taken Uncle Lu and Aunt Shen away."
After hearing this, Lu Xiaoran's eyes went dark and he felt cold all over.
The situation has become increasingly tense in the past two years. Her parents often remind her and her brother to be careful when speaking and doing things outside, so as to avoid causing trouble by speaking.
She and her brother always listened to their parents and never said a word outside what they shouldn't say.
Unexpectedly, someone set up a trap for their family, especially at the critical moment when their father got a promotion.
She forced herself to calm down. The most important thing now was who to ask for help?
She thought about it for a while and decided to call her two uncles first.
Then go to my uncle's place to discuss it with my grandparents.
Although his grandparents didn't like their family very much, Dad was their biological son after all.
Now that something like this has happened, they shouldn't stand idly by.
Seeing her standing there without saying anything, Huo Zhenting asked anxiously, "Sister Xiaoran, what should we do now? Why don't we call Xiaotang and ask him to come back quickly to think of a solution?"
Lu Xiaoran refused: "No, you can't tell Xiaotang about this."
My parents have been taken away for investigation, and my younger brother must not come back now. What if he is implicated again?
"Zhen Ting, take me to the post office. I'm going to call my uncle first, and then go find my grandparents and uncle."
"Okay, Sister Xiaoran, let's go."
Peter Ho waited for her to sit down, then rode his bike quickly to the post office.
Unfortunately, my uncle was out on a mission.
When my aunt found out that my parents were in trouble, she burst into tears and asked my uncle to come over immediately and told her not to worry.
After hanging up the phone, Peter Ho took her to her uncle's house on his bicycle.
Peter Ho didn't go in, but waited for her outside the door.
When she arrived at her uncle's house, her grandparents and aunt were all there, and she anxiously explained the purpose of her visit.
Looking at the indifferent expressions of my grandparents and the gloating look of my aunt.
Lu Xiaoran said nothing, just turned around and left.
When Huo Zhenting saw her coming out, he hurriedly asked, "Sister Xiaoran, why did you come out alone? Where are they?"
Lu Xiaoran looked back at the door of his uncle's house, smiled coldly, and said, "Zhen Ting, we can't rely on this family, let's go!"
Huo Zhenting glared at the Lu family’s door angrily and left with her.
She couldn't go back to the compound, so she asked Peter Ho to take her to the Siheyuan.
This courtyard was the dowry that my uncle and aunt gave to my mother when my parents got married.
Since moving into the compound, they have rarely come here.
My parents will come over to clean the house when they are free. The furniture inside is quite complete, so it is no problem to live here temporarily.
Peter Ho was afraid that she would be scared living here alone, so he called Bai Xiuhe from the compound to come and stay with her for a few days.
Bai Xiuhe has been playing with them since she was a child. She has a very close relationship with them, has good character, and is very tight-lipped. She is not the kind of person who likes to talk nonsense.
After coming out of the courtyard, Peter Ho went to look for Wen Qing and Ming Yu.
He was next to Sister Xiaoran when she called today. When he heard her say that Xiaotang should not be allowed to come back, he felt that this was inappropriate.
If Xiaotang didn't know about such a big thing that happened at home, he would feel guilty and blame himself in the future.
Besides, Xiaotang has been very smart since he was young and knows how to act in moderation. Is it possible that he can come up with a good idea?
He discussed it with Wen Qing and Mingyu and decided that he would stay here to accompany Sister Xiaoran.
In order to help inquire about Uncle Lu and Aunt Shen's situation, Mingyu and Wenqing went to the Nanshi Military Region to find Xiaotang.
Lu Xiaotang arrived in Beijing three days later than his uncle.
When he came back, his parents' affairs had been settled and they were about to go to the countryside.
My parents were afraid of bringing trouble to them, so before they left, they asked my uncle to help them publish an advertisement in the newspaper to sever ties with them.
My uncle and my parents' friends used their connections to get them to a place in the countryside with better conditions.
Lu Xiaoran felt heartbroken when she saw her brother suddenly become calm and silent.
The two siblings have had a very good relationship since childhood. Although the younger brother likes to act naughty sometimes, he is always very good to her.
My uncle said, "Xiao Ran, pack your things and take everything you need. We will go to Xinshi to work in the countryside in two days.
I have a comrade working there. I talked to him on the phone two days ago. If you have any problems in the future, you can go to him. ”
Lu Xiaoran was silent for a moment, then asked, "Uncle, what about Xiaotang?"
"I plan to take Xiaotang to Nanshi to serve in the army. He will be with us then, so nothing will happen."
She thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, do you think this is okay? Take Xiaotang away.
I will go to the countryside to live with my parents, and then I can take care of them. ”
Her uncle refused without a second thought: "No, your parents are safe there, you don't need to go with them.
I have already made arrangements. You should go to the countryside in Xinshi and take good care of yourself there. Your uncle will come to see you when he is free. ”
Lu Xiaoran remained silent and looked at his brother worriedly.
Lu Xiaotang, who had been silent the whole time, comforted her, "Sister, don't worry about me, I will listen to my uncles, and you take care of yourself over there.
Don't worry about your parents, your uncle will make all the arrangements. ”
