Da Bao and the others came back in the afternoon. After dinner, they said they were going to become Red Guards. Everyone in the family was stunned.
Han Dashan took a puff of his pipe: "Then you can take Grandpa away first."
Da Bao thought Han Dashan was saying this to stop them from becoming Red Guards: "Grandpa, why are we arresting you?"
Tang Huihui glared at Da Bao and Da Ni: "If you want to be soldiers, you'll have to arrest your grandfather first."
Tian Dahua slapped Da Bao and Da Ni on the back twice: "If you dare to go, I'll beat you to death."
Han Zhuang: "Da Bao, Dani, if you dare to go, your second aunt will definitely teach you a lesson." The scene of Xiao Man snatching Han Bin was still imprinted in Han Zhuang's mind. Han Zhuang always felt that his second sister-in-law was more powerful than his second brother. He would dare to mess with Han Bin, but he really wouldn't dare to mess with Xiao Man.
Li Qiaoqiao: "That's right. Da Bao, Dani, why did you go to Hongbing? If you go, your second aunt will definitely punish you."
Da Ni didn't understand: "Why is Second Aunt punishing us? We weren't doing anything wrong."
When Jinbao heard Han Dashan tell Dabao and Dani to take him away, he remembered what happened that day: "Brother Dabao, Sister Dani, if you try to catch Grandpa, Uncle Han Yong and the others will beat you with knives."
Da Bao looked at Jin Bao: "What do you know, you little brat? You want to hit us with a knife? Hitting us with a knife is called chopping, hitting us with a stick is called beating."
Jinbao puffed out his chest: "It means beating people with a knife. You can ask Grandpa if you don't believe me."
Erniu is two years older than Jinbao and knows more: "Brother Dabao, Sister Dani, a few days ago the Red Guards came to our house to catch Grandpa, but Uncle Han Yong led the militia and drove them away."
Da Bao and Da Ni: "What?!"
Han Dashan glanced at them and said, "If you want to go, you'll have to take me away first."
Da Bao couldn't understand: "Grandpa, why did they capture you?"
Da Ni: "Did they make a mistake?"
Han Dashan glanced at Han Yong, who then got up and closed the front door. After closing the door, Han Yong took Li Qiaoqiao and Jinbao back to their room. Grandma Han also took Erniu back to her room. Only Han Dashan, Tang Huihui, Tian Dahua, Dabao, and Dani remained in the main room.
Han Dashan took a puff of his cigarette: "You're all grown up now. There are some things I can tell you now. Do you remember those years when the harvests were bad?"
Da Bao and Da Ni nodded.
“Grandpa was afraid you would go hungry, so he tried to get some food. When those people heard that our family had enough to eat in those years, they said that Grandpa was undermining socialism.”
Da Bao: "Nonsense."
Da Ni: "Why are they like this?"
Han Dashan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed his two grandsons hadn't abandoned their families for their ideals: "Grandpa isn't against your progress. Grandpa just felt some of their actions were a bit off. Later, your village chief grandpa and the other cadres thought about it, and they realized that the director wasn't trying to find out where the grain came from; he wanted to use my arrest to let the people of Hanjiazhuang know that he could deal with whoever he wanted. Even military dependents could be dealt with."
Da Bao was thinking about what Han Dashan had said.
Da Ni stomped her foot angrily: "That director is so wicked. Our grain wasn't stolen or robbed, so why is he making such a fuss about it?"
Tang Huihui: "Didn't your grandfather say that they weren't after the grain at all? They just wanted to take us down."
Tian Dahua: "Fortunately, that director was stabbed to death, otherwise this matter would not be over."
Da Bao and Da Ni: "What?! The director has been stabbed to death?!"
Tian Dahua: "Mm."
Da Bao: "Who stabbed him to death?"
Da Ni: "Evil will be punished."
Tian Dahua looked at Dabao and Dani: "I don't know, he's done too many bad things. If you go out and cause trouble with those people, you might get stabbed to death too."
Da Bao's expression changed.
Dani: "Grandpa, I'm not going."
Han Dashan looked at Da Bao: "What about you?"
Da Bao hesitated for a moment: "I..."
Tian Dahua: "If you dare to go, I'll have your second aunt beat you up."
Da Bao found it both funny and helpless: "Mom, how old am I? Why are you still using my second aunt to scare me?"
Tian Dahua: "Aren't you afraid of your second aunt anymore?"
Da Bao: "I...I won't go, okay?" Although his grandfather said that he got those grains, he still knew how capable his grandfather was.
Tian Dahua: "That's more like it."
Da Bao looked at Han Dashan: "Grandpa, schools are closed now. Should we come back to farm or..."
“I sent your father to ask your second uncle. If he can get you jobs in the city, then go. If not, come back and farm. Let me tell you, if your second uncle can't get you jobs in the city, you can't blame him. He's your uncle, and if he has a way, he definitely won't abandon you.”
Da Bao and Da Ni: "We know."
On the other side, Han Gui took out the shoes that Tang Huihui had made for Nao Nao and Tengteng. The older sister immediately spotted her little flower shoes: "Those are mine."
Tang Huihui made three pairs of shoes for her sister. After Han Gui gave her the shoes, she hugged them to her arms.
Then, Han Gui took out a bag of shoes: "These were made for you by your aunt and your third aunt."
Xiaoman raised an eyebrow. Tian Dahua often made shoes for Naonao and the other children, but Li Qiaoqiao had never made shoes for them before.
After Xiaoman took the shoes, she picked out a pair and gave them to Naonao. Then, Xiaoman refused to give them away. Naonao thought for a moment and understood: "Brother Yangyang, these are for you."
Yangyang was stunned for a moment: "For me?"
"Mmm." Nao Nao stuffed the shoes into Yang Yang's hands: "Brother Yang Yang, we are all Grandma's grandsons, and the shoes Grandma made are for you too. Brother Yang Yang, try them on, and if they don't fit, you can exchange them."
“I…I have shoes.”
Nao Nao looked at Yang Yang's feet. Yang Yang's shoes were almost worn out: "I have some too, but I still prefer new shoes. Try them on quickly, and we'll all wear new shoes to play later."
Han Gui rubbed Yangyang's head: "Try it on. Your brother is right. These shoes were made by your grandma, your mother, and your third aunt. You made a part in them too."
"Wah..." Yangyang hugged the shoes and cried, crying very sadly.
Han Gui hugged Yangyang and said, "Come here, let Daddy change you."
"Ugh... I... my feet are dirty."
"It'll be clean after a wash. Come on, let Daddy wash you."
Yangyang choked up and said, "I...I'll wash it myself."
"OK."
Seeing Yangyang crying so sadly, Naonao was a little confused: "Mom, did I say something wrong?"
"No. Your brother Yangyang wants to wash his feet, so take him to wash his feet."
“Okay.” Nao Nao walked over and tugged at Yang Yang’s hand: “Brother Yang Yang, I’ll take you to wash your feet.”
Tengteng looked at Zuozuo, Youyou, his older sister, and his younger brother: "Come on, let's go wash our feet too, and then we can go out and play in our new shoes."
Zuo Zuo, You You, and younger brother: "Okay."
The older sister wanted to wear new shoes but didn't want to wash her own feet: "Brother Nao Nao, I want to wear new shoes too."
Nao Nao glanced at Xiao Man, and seeing that Xiao Man's expression hadn't changed, she quickly gave her sister a wink: "If you want to wear new shoes, come with your brother."
"good."
After the children left, only Han Bin, Xiao Man, and Han Gui remained in the room. Han Bin told Xiao Man about Yangyang. After listening, Xiao Man thought for a moment: "How did he know his grandparents and his father were dead? Did someone tell him? Did he see it with his own eyes?"
