Siheyuan: The Rebirth of the Silly Pillar in the 50s

Labor camp.

Yi Zhonghai was doing farm work in the sun with his back hunched over.

After a while, he would straighten his back and tap his waist.

"I am getting old after all..."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but sigh.

But reality does not allow him to have too much time to sigh.

Without paying any attention, a whip was whipped out.

"Who told you to rest! Hurry up and do it!"

Yi Zhonghai endured the pain and the depression in his heart and could only continue to work hard.

The moment he lowered his head, countless people lowered their heads.

I was afraid that I would be whipped.

"Hurry up! No one will be allowed to eat tonight unless the production tasks are completed!"

The supervisors walked in the farmland with whips in hand and showed off their power.

At this moment, what he faced was not a human but a group of beasts.

"You are a bunch of worms in the country! The country is kind to you by sending you here for reform! If you were left in the old society, you would be dead! You must learn to be grateful, you know?"

His words fell to the ground, and no one dared to respond.

After all, Yi Zhonghai is still a fitter worker who has been working as a fitter all his life.

There are many people here who have studied all their lives.

Facing such intensity, I could no longer hold on.

People fall down every day, and they are taken away when they fall.

Those who are taken away, some will come back.

But some will never be seen again.

No, another person fell.

"Take it away! Take it away!"

The overseer directed the medical staff to carry him away.

Yi Zhonghai followed everyone's gaze and looked over.

He has long been used to it.

He thought that if he hadn't been in good health, he might have been the one being carried on a stretcher right now.

He sighed softly and was about to turn around and continue working.

Wherever his eyes touched, he seemed to see a familiar figure.

Out of curiosity, he actually saw Qin Huairu.

The two people looked at each other, neither of them dared to recognize each other.

"You, take the hoe and go to work quickly!"

The overseer's whip cracked on the ground.

Qin Huairu was so frightened that he dodges.

"Why are you hiding? It wouldn't be a pity to beat someone like you to death! It's all because of our kindness that we can keep you alive!"

Qin Huairu didn't dare to make any mistakes when he first arrived.

I got the hoe and hurried over to work.

She deliberately stayed close to Yi Zhonghai.

The two people were close to each other, but they didn't dare to say a word.

"There's still half an hour for dinner, so hurry up! Anyone who hasn't completed today's goal is not allowed to eat!"

The overseer's fierce voice echoed through the fields.

Yi Zhonghai quietly glanced at Qin Huairu beside him.

A moment of doubt in my heart.

How did Qin Huairu come here?

She comes to the farm, what should I do with the stick?

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat.

Qin Huairu didn't look at him and sat silently minding her own business.

When it was time to serve meals, the supervisor took a small notebook recording the work and directed the canteen staff one by one to serve meals.

"This, let go!"

"That, no!"

Those who have not received the meal are not allowed to leave.

I can only stand in the cafeteria and watch others eat.

After a day of hunger and a day of intense work, they looked at the food in their eyes and drooled in their mouths.

Saliva is also a rare thing here.

This is their only source of water.

They were reluctant to drool and could only swallow it.

The queue for food finally advanced to Qin Huairu.

"This does not!"

The supervisor's voice made Qin Huairu raise his head.

"why?"

Qin Huairu asked in surprise.

"Did you complete your goal? If you didn't, what would you eat?"

"I just came!"

Qin Huairu argued.

"Clap"!

The overseer's whip struck her back, and she screamed.

But no one looked at her.

Everyone is indifferent.

They only have eyes for meals that do not look like they are meant for human consumption.

"Go over there!"

The overseer raised his whip and continued to threaten.

Qin Huairu looked at him with stubborn eyes.

This undoubtedly angered him.

The overseer went up and whipped him again!

"Why are you looking at me! Are you trying to make me look good? Get over there!"

Qin Huairu remained motionless.

The overseer's whip was raised again, but before it fell, he was stopped by Yi Zhonghai who suddenly rushed over.

"Comrade, don't blame her for just coming here. Eat what you want."

Yi Zhonghai offered the steamed bun in his hand with both hands!

But the supervisor didn't like it at all and just gave it to him!

The steamed bun rolled in a circle on the ground, and the black steamed bun became even darker covered with black soil.

Yi Zhonghai feels distressed!

He bent down to pick it up again.

The supervisor looked at his embarrassed appearance and laughed.

"have a finger in the pie!"

The supervisor didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he let him go if he was in a good mood today.

If he was in a bad mood, Yi Zhonghai would also be in a bad mood today.

The time for putting out the meal is over.

Everyone has a half-hour break.

Qin Huairu squatted in the corner and cried silently.

Yi Zhonghai walked over slowly. He didn't say anything, he just handed her the steamed bun that he just dropped on the ground.

Qin Huairu looked up at him.

If this steamed bun was outside, she would definitely not eat it.

All dirty.

But here, she was too hungry.

Without hesitation, she grabbed it and put it into her mouth. The mud mixed with the black bun almost made her choke to death.

Yi Zhonghai stretched out his hand to pat her and reminded her: "Eat slowly and don't make any noise when eating, lest others find out."

Qin Huairu cast a moved look at him.

"Why did you come here? Where is Banggeng? Who will take care of Banggeng now?"

Qin Huairu cried even harder when she heard the word "banggen".

Her miserable son!

"You won't leave it to your mother, right? Can she take care of it?"

Yi Zhonghai said in horror.

Qin Huairu nodded.

"What happened?"

"I killed someone."

Qin Huairu choked up and said.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes immediately shook, and he didn't even know what to say.

"I killed..."

Qin Huairu repeated it again.

Yi Zhonghai looked at her in horror.

He wanted to ask, but he couldn't. He wanted to speak, but he couldn't.

"Uncle Yi, can you let me out? Banggeng can't do it without me! My mother, my mother will definitely sell him! Please, help me get out!"

Qin Huairu was ill and sought medical treatment urgently.

She actually thought that Yi Zhonghai, who was also a criminal like herself, could save him.

Yi Zhonghai laughed.

He smiled bitterly and said: "If I can help you, why don't I go out myself!"

Qin Huairu fell into despair again.

She hugged herself and really wanted to die.

If you die, it will be over.

But she won't die.

Those bastards didn't even sentence her to death.

He actually didn't let her die.

It is said that her death is a waste of the country's resources.

It is better to create benefits for the country.

At least on the farm, she could work without eating, which was a huge bargain.

"Why are you……"

After all, Yi Zhonghai didn't ask for an exit.

Qin Huairu didn't answer and handed the remaining half of the bun back to Yi Zhonghai.

She turned around and walked away, as if she had made some kind of decision.

Yi Zhonghai looked at her back, and two lines of clear tears flowed down into his mouth, so salty.
