With the spiritual spring space, rebirth in the red era

When Xue Ming came to the Liu Village brigade headquarters, he saw a huge crowd of people. They were also holding a meeting of all members, and they were too lazy to waste time and shouted at the top of their lungs, "Uncle, uncle Liu Jianqiang."

The venue fell into silence for an instant, and everyone focused their attention. The cadres of the Liu Village brigade all knew Xue Ming and did not dare to scold him. This was the people's inventor who invented the pedal threshing machine and was named and commended by the People's Daily.

Party secretary Liu Yunqi heard from somewhere that Xue Ming had the idea of ​​settling in Liu Village. He hurriedly stood up from the rostrum and chuckled, "Comrade Xiao Xue is asking your uncle for furniture, right? Jianqiang, please go back with Xiao Xue." Home."

Liu Jianqiang stood up and patted his buttocks and left. The two men walked home slowly. When they arrived at the door, Liu Jianqiang said, "I will pick up your grandma later. Your team will definitely not let her eat in the canteen."

"Okay, I'll go to grandma's house to clean up her room later." Xue Ming stepped into the yard.

Liu Jianqiang took out the key and opened the west woodshed. There were some furniture inside, including two large, three small and five canopy beds, two desks, two large wardrobes and eight chairs.

The uncle is very good at craftsmanship and even carved dragons and phoenixes on the wardrobe.The material of thousand-year-old ginkgo wood is better, and these furniture give people a sense of elegance and luxury.

It must be very hard to make these pieces of furniture. There are obvious scars on Liu Jianqiang's hands, probably from the injuries he sustained while making the furniture. He is much thinner than before.

"The remaining materials can only be used to make a dressing table. Let's bring these to your home first. If you want to know what else is needed, I will make it for you." Liu Jianqiang said.

Xue Ming took out ten dollars and stuffed it into his pocket, "I originally wanted to give you food, but now I can only give you money."

"It's useless to provide food. I can't light a fire for cooking at home in the future, and I won't be polite to you." Liu Jianqiang said.

"Give me the key to grandma's house. You go to my house and pick up my grandma. I'll find someone to transport the furniture away." Xue Ming pointed to the frame truck in the yard and said.

Liu Jianqiang went to the main room to get a quilt, spread it on the car, and pulled the car away from home. He always obeyed what his nephew said.

Xue Ming directly put the furniture into the space, put the small bamboo bed in the bamboo house into the warehouse, and threw in a large canopy bed.

The small square table was replaced with a writing desk, the small bamboo stool was replaced with a large chair, and the small bamboo cabinet was replaced with a large wardrobe. After some fiddling, the bamboo house became high-end and classy.

All the remaining furniture was thrown into the warehouse, and I left the space and came to my grandma's small courtyard. When I opened the door of the main room, a wave of moisture hit my face. The whole main room turned out to be dark and damp.

"Is this a place where people live?" Xue Ming gritted his teeth and started cleaning. The small wooden bed was shaking and falling apart. The sheets and bedding were dirty, rotten and damp.

"My two uncles are really nothing." Xue Ming put the bed and bedding into the space to build a dog house, took out a small canopy bed for his grandma to sleep on, and replaced all the bed sheets, pillows and pillows with new ones.

He opened the drawer and put in two packages of biscuits, then took out a handful of two and a half cents and put them in. He then rode to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a new lock to replace the old one.

At this time, the uncle Liu Jianqiang and the second uncle Liu Jianguo pulled grandma back, and Xue Ming hurriedly walked over to help her out of the car.

When Guo Xiuhua entered the house and saw the new bed and new bedding, she couldn't help but burst into tears. "Good boy, take all these things away. This old woman who is dying is not worthy of using them."

"Look at what you said, my grandma will definitely live a long life." Xue Ming helped her sit on the bed, "When I get home, let Xiaoling make you a new dress."

"It's been done a long time ago." Guo Xiuhua wiped away her tears and unwrapped the package she carried with her, and took out a piece of clothing made of Soviet large-flowered cloth, and even a cotton coat and trousers for winter.

There is greed in the eyes of the Liu brothers. Brand-new carriages, quilts and clothes can be sold for seventy or eighty yuan in total.

Xue Ming looked at them from the corner of his eye, held his grandma's hand and said, "I will come over to visit you often. Just tell me what you want."

"Okay! Okay!" Guo Xiuhua was so moved that she said, "My child, you don't want anything at my age. If you feel sorry for me, give me a great-grandson to take care of."

One sentence made Xue Ming scratch his head, and Guo Xiuhua finally had a smile on her face, "The Chuanying girl is diligent, thrifty, and gentle, considerate, and has a big butt and plenty of milk. She is a good match. Don't miss her."

"Why are you talking about this in such a nice way? We'll talk about getting married and having children later." Xue Ming chatted with her from noon to sunset, while the Liu brothers sat beside her and listened quietly.

In the end, Xue Ming quietly left the key to his grandmother and asked her not to give the key to anyone else, which made the two uncles look embarrassed.

Xue Ming was still worried. Before leaving, he said in a semi-serious tone, "These things are for my grandma. They will be yours after a hundred years. If I come over next time and find that things are missing, don't blame me for turning against you." .”

The eldest uncle Liu Jianqiang kept his head down and said nothing. The second uncle Liu Jianguo showed a trace of disdain. Guo Xiuhua lightly hit her grandson and said, "You can't talk to your uncle like this. Go home quickly."

Xue Ming rode his bicycle home. He always felt that the Liu brothers would cause trouble and hoped that they would not turn a deaf ear to my words.

The following days were quite boring. The construction of the brigade canteen was in full swing. The brigade left rations for the Xue family for ten days. My mother was sad for several days.

Xue Ming could only comfort her, "This kind of thing is not something ordinary people like us can handle. Our arms can't hold our thighs."

The operation of the brigade to collect livestock and poultry grain is also in full swing. Every day, the noise and the crying of children can be heard from the streets. Doing this kind of thing will definitely cause conflicts.

After dinner that night, Liu Yue'e came to her son's room, closed the door and whispered, "Zhu Chunhua fell ill. I heard that the two pigs were the cause of the trouble."

Two days later, Xue Ming heard the news of Zhu Chunhua's death. The old Xue family did not come to report the funeral. Xue Ming had no feelings for her and could only sigh.

The village became more and more chaotic, and Xue Ming became more and more upset. He gave his mother ten yuan and said, "I want to go hunting in the forest for a few days. You can take care of yourself at home."

"I heard from Zhao Molong that the Chuanying family has a lot of worries. You guys should go out together to relax." At this point, Liu Yue'e sighed, "I also want to go to the barren mountains and wild places to relax, but it's a pity that I can't leave."

"Take my sister and let's go together. It doesn't matter if I am the captain of the [-]th team." Xue Ming said.

"No kids, you go out and play." After Liu Yue'e said that, she went back to her room to sleep and closed the door without turning on the light.

Early the next morning, Xue Ming rode to the commune apiary. On the way, he went to Liu Village to visit his grandma. The new bed and bedding were still there. It seemed that the two uncles did not dare to be reckless.

The commune apiary has been temporarily closed, and bees will hibernate when the weather is cold. I inquired all the way to Li Chuanying's house, and saw a house even more shabby than my grandma's house.

Li Chuanying ran over and threw herself into Xue Ming's arms and cried loudly, "Brother, my grandfather is gone, he is gone..."
