In 1975, Kerr was 13 years old and graduated from high school.
A lot happened this year.
First, General Chen returned to the capital. Zhou Jinyan followed General Chen back to the capital.
That morning, as the villagers finished their morning work and went home for lunch, they heard a group of children shouting, "Two cars are coming, and there are soldiers."
"The car drove to the cowshed to arrest someone."
Qin Feng's family was sitting under a big tree in the yard eating breakfast. When they heard the shout, they immediately stood up. Ke'er was the first to rush out of the yard. "Dad, I'll go first."
When Ke'er arrived at the cowshed, she saw two army green jeeps. Two soldiers in military uniforms were standing in front of the cars, watching over a group of children and telling them not to move.
Ke'er hurried in and saw Director Wu Gang from the county seat there, and Ke'er felt relieved. Wu Gang also saw Ke'er and greeted her with a smile, "Ke'er, don't worry, these are the comrades who are here to pick up our old leader."
Ke'er smiled and thought to herself: This year is only 1973. Could it be that my experience with Hu Bao is different? No matter, as long as Grandpa Chen no longer suffers, it will be fine.
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhou Jinyan walked into the yard with his backpack on his back. Seeing Ke'er, he trotted a few steps and took Ke'er's hand. "Ke'er, I'm going back to the capital with grandpa. I'll wait for you in the capital."
Seeing Zhou Jinyan's reluctant eyes, Ke'er's eyes also turned red with sadness. She nodded and said, "Well, I will definitely be admitted to a university in Beijing. You wait for me."
Zhou Jinyan gently held Ke'er in his arms and patted her back. "Okay, I'll wait for you in Beijing. I will miss you."
He let go of Ke'er, grabbed her arm with both hands, looked into her eyes and said, "Ke'er, whatever you do, always prioritize your own safety. Don't act on impulse. People in this world are very smart, and bad people are even smarter. You must be careful. Also, I will write to you, and you must reply. I can't send you gifts every day, so I will save them and mail them to you together."
Ke'er nodded gently a few times and said, "I see. You are nagging like an old lady." After saying that, she giggled.
Qin Feng and his family also came to the cowshed, and seeing the situation, they were no longer worried.
General Chen came out, wearing a washed-out military uniform and a military cap. He stood straight, his face flushed with excitement.
Seeing Qin Feng's family, he walked forward and held Qin Feng's hand tightly with red eyes. "Qin Feng, thank you for taking care of me for so many years. Otherwise, I'm afraid my old bones would have been buried in the sand long ago. Thank you, your whole family."
Qin Feng also excitedly shook Chen Lao's hand tightly and said to him, "You must take good care of yourself. Watch Jin Yan grow up, get married, and have great-grandchildren."
Old Chen turned to look at Ke'er, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and laughed, "Yes, I want to live a good life, see the country become prosperous, and see my grandson get married. Hahahaha."
The village chief also came to see Old Chen off. Old Chen shook the village chief's hand again and said, "Thank you! You have taken good care of us old guys over the years. Thank you."
He turned to the other people in the cowshed and said, "Wait a few days, everyone will go home." Everyone was very excited. Seeing Mr. Chen today, they saw their own hope.
When leaving, Ke'er stuffed a note into Zhou Jinyan's hand and whispered, "Read it quietly." Zhou Jinyan nodded to show that he understood.
The two jeeps took Old Chen, Zhou Jinyan and Jian Yue away and returned to their original positions.
Everything is different now.
The days continue to pass slowly.
Peonies and herbaceous peonies have settled in Xiaoqingshan for three years. Now the flowers are lush and the fragrance is everywhere. Xiaoqingshan has become a real sea of flowers.
The petals that were picked were handed over to Qin Muxiao for trading. Han Yanzi and her daughter had always raised chickens on Xiaoqing Mountain, and Qin Feng had not increased the number of chickens. Everyone urged him to raise more chickens, saying that they could bring in considerable income and produce waste. The villagers said that the two barren sand mountains were able to be managed well because of Qin Feng's cleverness. He raised chickens on the mountain, and the large amount of chicken manure was used to continuously improve the sandy land.
Qin Feng heard it, smiled, and didn't explain. Ke'er also smiled when she heard it, and didn't get angry.
The second thing was that the boys in Qin Feng's family were all older, and Li Shuwan was anxious to find them partners, but they weren't in a hurry. They said if they didn't find a partner now, what would they do when the college entrance examination came? Or it would be better to go to Beijing and find a partner after the college entrance examination. Li Shuwan thought it made sense, but she felt anxious as she watched the children grow older day by day.
This year, Qin Muze was 24 years old and had been in the army. The year before last, Qin Chengrui brought him home for the New Year. He was 1.85 meters tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Now he was the deputy regiment commander, so many people came to ask about his relationship. Li Shuwan politely declined them all, saying that he already had a partner in the army. Only then did these aunts and uncles stop asking Li Shuwan.
Qin Muxiao, 22, wasn't as tall as his brother, but he was strikingly handsome, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a broad forehead, a high nose bridge, and lips that were neither thin nor thick. Standing 1.8 meters tall, he wore a white shirt tucked into his green military trousers, tied with a wide leather belt. He'd saddle up his bicycle and stride forward, one foot on the pedal, the other on the ground, revealing his long legs. Every time he went to pick up Ke'er and Qin Muchun from school, he'd draw admiring glances from the girls.
Qin Feng heard that there was an educated youth who came to the commune and was always pestering Qin Muxiao for no reason. Qin Feng specifically inquired about the girl's character. As a result, he scolded Qin Muxiao when he got home. It turned out that the girl's family was from Hai City. For her own sake, she reported her grandfather and father. The whole family followed her grandfather and father to the farm in Heilongjiang Province for reform. Because of her meritorious report, she came here and worked as a cultural officer in the commune.
