The next day, Lin Qingmei was awakened by a whistle. She rubbed her eyes and walked downstairs, just in time to see He's father and He Xufeng going out.
"Qingmei, why did you get up? Were you woken up by the whistle?" He Xufeng asked her concernedly.
"Well, where are you going?" Lin Qingmei looked at He Xufeng in confusion. He's father got up early to do daily training, so it would be difficult for He Xufeng to go for training as well.
He's father glanced at He Xufeng, then smiled and said to Lin Qingmei: "I'm going to the army first. Since Qingmei has woken up, Xufeng, you don't have to go out today."
"Don't worry about me. I'm going to go back and take a nap." They obviously had something to do, and Lin Qingmei didn't want to get involved.
"Then you wait for me at home. I'll be back soon. You don't have to make breakfast. My mother will go to the canteen and bring it back later." He Xufeng did have something to do today, and it was a bit inconvenient to bring Lin Qingmei with him.
He had planned to go early and come back early, but he didn't expect her to wake up so early.
"Okay, you guys hurry up and go out, I'm going back to my room." Lin Qingmei waved her hand and turned to go upstairs. It was only a little after five o'clock and it was indeed still early.
He Xufeng and his father separated after leaving home. He's father was going back to the military camp, while He Xufeng rode his bicycle in another direction.
He got up so early today to look for someone, the director of the Revolutionary Committee who framed Commander Yang.
Although he was caught at the beginning, he has always been unwilling to change his confession. As long as he admits that he was the one who put the English documents in Commander Yang's home, Commander Yang can overturn the case.
In the past, the Red Guards were too rampant, and He's father had never dared to act rashly. Now that they had calmed down for the past two days, he had the idea of helping Commander Yang to overturn the verdict.
He Xufeng rode a bicycle for an hour and arrived at a village more than ten miles away from the army.
Then he avoided people and came to a shabby house, took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
After a while, a hoarse voice came from the room: "Who is it?" The door slowly opened, revealing a wrinkled face with vigilance in his eyes.
When He Xufeng saw the old man, he directly stated his purpose. The old man turned pale when he heard it. "Don't look for me again. I won't change my confession."
He Xufeng frowned tightly: "Why? You have no grudge against Commander Yang, why do you have to put him to death?"
The old man sneered: "Humph, you think you are the one who framed me, right? I underestimated you. Now that we are talking, don't ask me whether you will confess or not."
He had figured these out long ago. If she wasn't greedy for him, why would she cooperate with others to frame an old revolutionary?
He had brought all the suffering on his family, but he would not regret it. The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. If it happened again, he would still cooperate with those people.
He Xufeng clenched his fists in anger when he heard the old man's words, "You can indeed choose not to change your confession, but you have to think about the consequences carefully."
A trace of panic flashed across the old man's eyes, but he still said stubbornly: "I am like this anyway, the worst that can happen is that I die."
He Xufeng knew that being tough would not work, so he took a breath and said, "What about your family? Don't you think about them? As long as you change your confession, the Yang family will not embarrass your family, and they can even help you get your son back. You should know that your son is almost unable to bear it on the farm now. If you don't get him back, he may never come back."
The old man trembled slightly after hearing this, and it was obvious that he was shaken. After a long silence, he sighed and said, "I'll think about it."
Seeing this, He Xufeng could only say: "I hope you can make the right decision as soon as possible, time is running out." After that, he opened the door and was about to leave.
