With the spiritual spring space, rebirth in the red era

The green train arrived in Guangming County from the provincial capital in two days and two nights. When Xue Ming left the station, he first visited Pei Lin's house. The house his family rented in Guangming Town was the Pei family's old house.

The Pei family warmly received him. Mr. Pei took out the peanut cake from the cabinet and said, "My child, please try to see if it's sweet or not. Most people can't eat my peanut cake."

Laughter rang out. Xue Ming took a bite and tasted it. It was fragrant and crispy. It tasted really good. "Thank you, Mr. Pei. I also brought you a small gift when I came back this time."

Xue Ming took out bottles of white wine and Pechoin from his travel bag. The Pei family happily accepted the gifts and invited him to come in to rest. Everyone chatted while cracking melon seeds.

"Uncle Pei, are my mother and the others okay? Did the Zhaocun Brigade come over to cause trouble?" Xue Ming said.

"Don't worry, Xiao Xue. Sister Liu has done a good job keeping the secret. Zhaocun Brigade doesn't even know they live in my house." Pei Lin asked his wife to pour tea.

"That's good." The big stone in Xue Ming's heart finally fell to the ground. What he was most worried about when he was out was that the bastards from Zhaocun Brigade would disturb his mother's life.

"But I heard that your brigade is having a miserable life. More than half of the commune members have gone out to beg for food. From the party secretary to the accountant, everyone has been dismissed from their positions by the commune." Pei Lin said.

"The entire Guangming Commune is not good, and the Liucun Brigade next to your brigade is even more miserable. I heard that many people died. You should go back and take a look when you have time." Mr. Pei added.

Xue Ming was not in the mood to care about the life and death of Zhao Cun and Liu Cun, but he couldn't help but sigh at the dismissal of Zhao Tian and others, but he didn't feel pity for them because they had done their own thing.

After chatting for half an hour, Xue Ming said goodbye. The Pei family sent him to the gate. As soon as he opened the gate, he saw two beggars standing outside.

They were all dirty and looked like a couple. The man was holding two little boys with both hands, and the woman was holding a baby in her arms.

"Comrade, please have mercy on us who stutter. I am from the northern county and my family suffered a disaster." The man bowed to everyone, and the two children quickly bowed as well.

"Show me your letter of introduction. Our family is almost at a loss." Xue Ming was embarrassed to refuse them in Pei Lin.

The man hurriedly took out a letter of introduction from his pocket. It said that Comrade Fan Songning from the Fancun Brigade of Beibian County went to your place to beg for food. Please receive him as appropriate. The letter was stamped with the official seal of the Fancun Brigade.

Pei Lin handed the letter of introduction to Xue Ming for review. Pei Lin's wife went back to the kitchen and took out a dark steamed bun.

"Thank you for the good Samaritans. I wish you good luck every year and prosperity." The man hurriedly took the buns and put them in his bag. The whole family bowed to everyone again.

Xue Ming returned the letter of introduction to him. Whenever he left the local area, he had to go to the brigade to get a letter of introduction. He also needed a letter of introduction when begging, otherwise he would be taken away as a blind drifter.

The family went to the opposite yard again and said, "Good Samaritans, please do me a favor. I came here from the northern county to beg for food. Please give me something to eat."

"I don't have anything to eat at home, so you go to someone else's house." The neighbor across the door didn't open the door at all, so Fan Songning could only take the whole family to another house to try their luck.

Mr. Pei immediately asked his daughter-in-law to close the door. Pei Lin sent Xue Ming away from the alley. Along the way, he met three groups of cannibals with their families in tow.

"It has only been a few years since we settled down, and life has started to get difficult again." Pei Lin sighed, "Don't underestimate the letters of introduction in their hands. Not everyone can get a letter of introduction from the brigade leader."

"They are lucky. It would be a tragedy if the brigade cadres were worried that they would smear communism and did not give them letters of introduction." Xue Ming showed disdain.

Pei Lin saw that there was no one in the alley, so he pulled Xue Ming to quicken his pace, trotted out of the alley and said sincerely, "Don't dare to say such nonsense."

"I know what's appropriate. I'll only make a few jokes in front of you, but I won't say such things in front of others." Xue Ming said with a smile.

"You can't say anything in front of me. Remember to be careful with your words and actions." Pei Lin still looked serious, and the two of them slowed down and walked on the street.

There were very few pedestrians on the street. As I walked, there was a noise in front of me. A group of armed patrols were arresting beggars on the street. Seven or eight big men pushed two young people to the ground.

The arrest method was a bit extreme. The two young men were lying on the ground begging for mercy. A group of melon-eating people came from all directions to watch.

The patrol leader shouted at the top of his voice, "Don't talk nonsense to me. It's useless to beg for mercy. It's just you people who are smearing our Guangming Town."

Xue Ming and Pei Lin bypassed the crowd and continued on their way. They stopped for a smoke in the alley of the Pei family's old house and saw several children playing games in the alley.

"Is there any news about Chuanying? That girl is a good child, but it's a pity that she didn't get a good pregnancy." Pei Lin sighed again.

Xue Ming shook his head and took out a piece of manuscript paper and gave it to him. It said Li Chuanying go home quickly and go back to the county to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Director Pei Lin. Grandma and mother miss you very much.

"Uncle Pei, please help me go to the newspaper to publish a missing person notice. I'll give you ten yuan first. If it's not enough, you can go find me at home." Xue Ming gave him ten yuan.

Nowadays, the fastest way to circulate information is to publish in newspapers to find people. However, only money may not be enough to publish in newspapers. Relationships and connections are also needed.

"Looking for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. You have done your best to find her for half a year. Don't waste time and money anymore." Pei Lin waved his hand and refused to take the money.

"I have money, but my time is not valuable. Please help Uncle Pei." Xue Ming put the money directly into his pocket.

Pei Lin sighed again, "Guangming County newspapers are only circulated in Guangming County. I'm sure Chuanying girl is not in Guangming County, and your money will be wasted."

"Don't worry, Uncle Pei. I'm not short of money for the time being. My mother and grandma both hope Chuanying comes back soon," Xue Ming said.

"Okay, since you insist, I will help you. Come home quickly, kid, your mother will be happy to see you for ten days." Pei Lin patted Xue Ming on the shoulder and said.

The two parted at the entrance of the alley. Xue Ming returned home carrying a travel bag. There was a knock on the door and Xue Ling opened the door.

"Brother is back. Come out quickly and ask for our brother to come back." Xue Ming took his eldest brother's hand and walked to the main room.

Xue Ying, Xue Min and Xue Qing heard the noise and ran out of the house, "Brother is back..."

The younger brothers and sisters jumped up and down happily, surrounding the eldest brother. Xue Ming was also very happy to open the travel bag and give them various gifts, "Isn't our mother at home?"

The air suddenly became quiet, and the smile on Xue Ling's face disappeared. "Just now our mother went to the county people's hospital to buy medicine. Our grandma is sick."

"What's the disease? When did it happen?" Xue Ming put down his suitcase and strode into the house. He saw his pale grandma on the bed in the bedroom.

"Grandma, grandma, I'm back." Xue Ming gently shook his grandma's shoulders, "Grandma, I am Xue Ming, are you asleep?"

"Our grandma has just fallen asleep. Brother, let's call her later." Xue Ling walked to the eldest brother and whispered, "It was fine before, but ten days ago, grandma suddenly fainted while eating."
