With the spiritual spring space, rebirth in the red era

At the end of June 1966, the letter of introduction to Beijing was finally approved by the relevant departments.

Xue Ming originally thought that he would get it in four or five weeks at most, but he did not expect to wait for more than half a year.

With this letter of introduction, you can stay in the capital for four months. You must return to the provincial capital to hand in the letter of introduction before August 30. After all, the capital is a very important place and the management is very strict.

For six months, Xue Ming read the People's Daily every day and often discussed current affairs with Zhao Dingkai, feeling like a storm was about to come.

Zhao Dingkai's body has recovered. He could not get out of bed before, but now he can. Only then did Zhao Xue feel in the mood to visit the capital.

That night, the couple hugged each other and whispered.

"Husband, let's go for an outing in the southern suburbs tomorrow, go to the Guandi Temple the day after tomorrow to fulfill our vows, and buy a ticket to the capital the day after tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay, but it's best to ask grandpa for his opinion."

"Grandpa said it's okay, he listens to us."

"Oh, what was the outing like?"

"Tomorrow the school will organize an outing for all students to the southern suburbs of Lotus Root Commune. The principal said that they can bring their families."

Xue Ming had never participated in this kind of activity before, and suddenly found it very interesting.

He smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together tomorrow."

"Long live, thank you husband." Zhao Xue was very happy.

Tomorrow is Sunday. After so many years of marriage, Xue Ming has never accompanied his wife to participate in school activities. Zhao Xue mentioned it several times before but he rejected it.

A few months ago, Zhao Xue made a wish at the Guandi Temple, hoping that her grandfather would recover. Now that the old man's illness has almost recovered, she went to burn incense to fulfill her wish.

The next morning, the two got up early, rode their bicycles to school after breakfast, and all the students had already gathered on the playground.

They used to wear various clothes, but now they all wear green military uniforms. Teachers and school leaders also wear military uniforms.

These military uniforms flowed from the army to the people. These days, more and more troops have replaced their uniforms.

Xue Ming saw Shen Xiaoli. After not seeing her for many years, she had become a big girl, from a junior high school student to a high school student.

"Daughter-in-law, what grade are you and Sister Yanyan teaching now?" Xue Ming asked in a low voice.

"They are in the fourth grade of middle school and will graduate this year. This is the last outing for me and the students." Zhao Xue couldn't help but sigh.

The fourth grade of middle school involves Xue Ming's huge knowledge blind spot, but the current student status system is messy enough.

Zhao Xue and Dong Yanyan have been taking care of this class of students since they were in the first grade of middle school. It has been four years now. Even dogs can get along with each other after four years of being together.

The principal delivered a brief speech, and the students lined up in long queues according to their classes. They either shouted slogans or sang red songs, and the vast procession went to the Lotus Root Commune.

The Lotus Root Commune is a semi-off-the-job commune and is responsible for providing lotus roots to the people of the provincial capital, so there are lotus ponds everywhere.

The lotus flowers are already in full bloom in June. The lotus leaves are infinitely green and the lotus flowers are exceptionally red when reflecting the sun.

They said it was an outing, but it was actually labor. The commune members arranged for the students to add water to the pond. The group of old boys smiled and looked at the students who took turns fetching water.

Zhao Xue and Dong Yanyan's classes were working in a corner. At noon, the sun began to burn fiercely, and the students were sweating profusely from the heat.

Xue Ming felt a little distressed. The average age of these children was only sixteen years old. It was too hard to do such physical work.

"Sister Yanyan, let the children rest for a while." Xue Ming quietly took out two kilograms of brown sugar from the space and handed it to Dong Yanyan.

Dong Yanyan clapped her hands, "Students, Teacher Zhao's lover Comrade Xue Ming donated two kilograms of brown sugar to us. Do you want to eat it?"

"Think!" The students hurriedly untied the enamel cups from their waists and ran over to surround Xue Ming, raising their enamel cups and shouting.

"Keep your voice down, don't let the children in other classes hear." Xue Ming reminded them with a smile.

The students immediately fell silent. Zhao Xue and Dong Yanyan asked them to line up, and Xue Ming put brown sugar cubes into their enamel cups.

"Classmate Erzhuang, don't forget to say thank you to Uncle Xue." Dong Yanyan patted a boy on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Uncle Xue." Erzhuang held the enamel jar and went to find a member of the club to get hot water, for fear that the sugar in the cup would be snatched away.

Xue Ming loses himself in the "thank you" one after another. It is worth giving a gift in exchange for a thank you.

"Thank you, brother Xue Ming." Shen Xiaoli smiled brightly and raised the enamel cup. On such a hot day, she still wore a glove on her left hand. This glove was bought for her by Xue Ming.

"You are the only one in the class who calls me brother. I almost got called old by them." Xue Ming laughed and put two pieces of candy in her cup. The extra piece was a reward.

"I am already sixteen years old this year, and you are only in your twenties. Of course I will call you brother." Shen Xiaoli said with a smile.

The classmates all felt that they were at a disadvantage when they heard her words. They all cheered and called Xue Ming brother, making Xue Ming laugh.

Shen Xiaoli was the last student to receive candy. She ran to the club members only to find that there was no water in the thermos bottle, so she just pouted and returned to the team.

"Why didn't classmate Xiaoli get water?" Dong Yanyan asked softly.

"The members who provided us with hot water have no hot water, and we can't drink hot water even though we work for them." Shen Xiaoli looked depressed.

"I have it here." Dong Yanyan said, taking off the military kettle on her body, unscrewing the lid and pouring water into her enamel jar, when a bee flew to the back of Dong Yanyan's hand.

"what--"

Dong Yanyan jumped up with a loud shout, and the hot water in the pot spilled on Shen Xiaoli's left glove.

"what--"

Shen Xiaoli screamed when she was burned, and she jumped in pain while holding the glove with her right hand. Xue Ming and Zhao Xue, who were chatting by the lotus pond, hurriedly ran over.

After regaining consciousness, Dong Yanyan immediately reached out and took off Shen Xiaoli's gloves, because the woolen gloves would keep burning her hands after absorbing hot water.

Shen Xiaoli, who had not recovered her senses, was caught off guard and Dong Yanyan took off her gloves. Shen Xiaoli suddenly froze on the spot.

"Look, Shen Xiaoli has six fingers."

"Really, it's really six fingers."

"whee……"

Some students couldn't help laughing. Xue Ming ran to the scene and found that Shen Xiaoli's left hand had six fingers, and there was an extra deformed finger outside the little finger.

Shen Xiaoli forgot about the pain and stared at Dong Yanyan with resentment in her eyes. Everyone finally knew the reason why she wore her left glove regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter.

"Yes...I'm sorry." Dong Yanyan was frightened. Of course she knew that people with disabilities would try their best to hide their disabilities. They didn't want to be treated as aliens.

"Hehe, there is one more tickle with six fingers. Shen Xiaoli has one more tickle than us." The naughty Erzhuang chuckled.

The students who were watching all laughed. Human beings always like to base their happiness on the pain of others. Shen Xiaoli had tears in her eyes.

"Shut up, you naughty kid. No one can tell anything about what happened today." Xue Ming hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe off the water on her hands, and quietly took out a new pair of gloves from the space for Shen Xiaoli to put on.

Xue Ming still looked very fierce when he was angry, and the students hurriedly shut their mouths and did not dare to say anything more.

"Xiao Li, don't cry, Teacher Dong and I will help you." Zhao Xue said softly.

"I hate you, I hate you." Shen Xiaoli suddenly turned around and ran away.

"Husband, hurry up and chase her!" Zhao Xue was very worried that Shen Xiaoli would not be able to think about it.

Xue Ming couldn't care less and hurriedly chased him out.
