Travel through 1972 with a space mall

Su's father and two brothers from the Su family came back on the afternoon of November 5th.

That afternoon, while Father Su and the others were still on the road, it started to snow lightly.

Several production teams in Xiangyang Village were assigned the river digging site at the far west of the commune, and it took more than two hours to walk back to Xiangyang Village.

When Su's father and two brothers from the Su family returned to the village, their hands and feet were cold from the cold, their lips were chapped and their faces were blue.

Su's father sent his two sons home trembling while trembling. He didn't even return home, so he came to Su Jiao's side immediately.

When Su's father went to work on the river, it was when Su Jiao was vomiting every day and her face turned pale. Su's father was worried about her for more than half a month.

"Dad, you're back! Get on the kang and warm yourself up." Su Jiao saw the surprise on Su's father's face and his face turned a little blue, so she hurriedly called Su's father to get on the kang.

"Looking at you, you are so unshaven that you don't know how to go home and tidy up before coming back. Your daughter is here, and she can't run away. Hurry up and get warm by the kang."

Su's mother knew Su's father best. When she saw Su's father coming here after a long journey, she knew that Su's father must be thinking about his daughter and came here without even returning home.

Mother Su reached out to touch Father Su and found that Father Su's hands were cold and his face was not very good. She didn't care to say anything else, so she turned back to the kitchen to make ginger soup.

Su's father grinned and shook his body. He sat on the kang and began to ask, "My daughter, have you been vomiting recently? If there is anything you want to eat, please tell me. I will go to the city to buy it for you tomorrow."

"Dad, I'm already well. My appetite has improved recently. I have everything at home, so I don't need to buy anything."

Looking at Su's father who was shivering, Su Jiao quickly stood up and put the quilt covering her legs on the kang around her body.

Mother Su quickly cooked the ginger soup and brought it in, saying, "Hurry up and drink it while it's hot."

Seeing Su's father obediently take it and start drinking, Su's mother began to mutter: "You are so old and you don't know how to pay attention. You thought you were young. Didn't I bring you two sets of clothes? It's so cold. Why don't you wear them together?"

Father Su finished the ginger soup in one go and felt his body starting to feel warm. He said, "I didn't expect it would snow today. I asked Shui Qing to put my luggage on the oxcart and help bring it back."

Shui Qing is the cook in Su's father's team. Every year when working on the river, the team's cooks would sit in an ox cart one day in advance, pulling pots and pans, and go to the team's designated river digging area to set up the pots. When the river digging project was completed, the team would be notified in advance to let the team handle the work. Drive the bullock cart over in advance to pack up your things and return to the team.

"Then why didn't you and the eldest and the third eldest son come back in the car with Shui Qing?" Mother Su said.

"There are a few women in the team who have also signed up. As the captain, I am too embarrassed to ride in the bullock cart, so I let them sit." Su's father felt that his body was starting to sweat, and he pulled away the quilt from his body.

"I haven't seen them miss you well if you do this." After Su's mother said, she gave Su's father a blank look, but she didn't say anything unpleasant.

Su's father stayed for a while and his body was completely warm. Su's mother saw that it was getting late, so she took Su's father home. Su's mother was going home to help Sister Su prepare dinner.

Su's father and two brothers from the Su family just came back today, and the whole family always has a reunion dinner together.

Su Jiao had discussed with Su's mother before and decided to wait for Su's father and others to come back and explain clearly what happened to Mrs. Su and Uncle Su's family during the family reunion dinner.

When it was time for dinner, Ye Mingyuan took Ye Yao and carefully supported Su Jiao to the Su house. The family had a lively dinner.

After dinner, Sister-in-law Su took Dabao and Ye Yao to the east room to play.

While cooking, Su's mother told her that they had something to say to Su's father and the Su brothers after dinner. Let her take her two children back to the house to play.

Sister-in-law Su also knew what they were going to say about Mrs. Su, so she nodded in agreement without saying anything.

Su's father looked at Sister-in-law Su's actions, and saw Su Jiao looking at him hesitant to speak. He knew in his heart that Su Jiao probably had something to say to him, so he asked.

"Jiaojiao, do you have something to tell daddy?"

Father Su couldn't help but pursed his lips after speaking. He had the habit of smoking after meals, but today when Su Jiao came over, he couldn't help but hold back and kept feeling uncomfortable in his mouth.

"Dad, a lot of things happened at home while you were away. It was about grandma and uncle's family. We think we should tell you." Su Jiao said hesitantly.

When Su's father heard the names of Mrs. Su and Uncle Su, his brows instantly furrowed into Sichuan eyebrows. For so many years, in his impression, anything related to her mother and brother was not a good thing.

Father Su thought about the way the villagers he met on his way home today looked at him with sympathy, and he began to have a bad feeling in his heart.

Brother Su and Brother Su couldn't help but frown when they heard their names.

"Boss and Third, you two just listen carefully, don't talk, and just understand what's going on." Seeing the expressions of the Su brothers, Su's mother said calmly.

The two brothers nodded quickly to express their understanding.

Wait until Su Jiao explains everything about Uncle Su's work, Su Caixia's marriage, Su Baozhu's arrest, and the old lady's return to beat him up.

Father Su was already trembling with anger.

Brother Su and Brother Su looked shocked and angry after hearing this. They were shocked because they didn't expect that so many things had happened at home during the more than half a month since they had been out. They were angry because they heard Mrs. Su beating Mother Su.

The two brothers remembered Su's mother's words. Although they were angry, they did not speak and just listened silently.

Seeing Su's father's appearance frightened everyone in the room. Everyone hurriedly poured water and patted his back. It took a long time for Su's father to recover, and he lowered his head and remained silent.

"Old man, I used to think that we were all a family. Broken bones and connected tendons. I didn't want you to be caught in the middle, so I kept tolerating. The result is today's result."

"But from now on, I will not continue to be patient. We will not give less of the filial piety that should be given, but don't expect me to give one more point." Su's mother expressed her position.

Father Su's shoulders slumped, and he was silent for a long time before finally nodding.

After hearing the whole story, Su's father had completely given up and no longer had any extravagant hopes for Mrs. Su.

Mother Su was very satisfied with Father Su's attitude. Mrs. Su had already reached this point. If Father Su was still soft-hearted and refused to make a decision, Mother Su would not be polite to him.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

It's now late November.

During this period, life at home was ordinary, with three meals a day of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

During this period, Meng Long came again, mainly to tell them that the verdicts of Yu Huaicheng and Su Baozhu had come down.

Yu Huaicheng was a bad element who had not been reformed and committed crimes again, so the sentence was aggravated and he was sentenced to 20 years of hard labor on the farm. Yu Huaicheng was already over years old and was old enough to come out alive.

Although Su Baozhu was a first-time offender, his attitude was arrogant and he refused to cooperate during the investigation and interrogation. The circumstances were serious and he was sentenced to five years of hard labor on the farm.

Su Jiao heard Meng Long say that the old lady fainted on the spot when she heard the verdict, which made Su Jiao feel very happy.

Su Jiao was woken up early this morning by the sound of Ye Mingyuan getting up.

"Daughter-in-law, it's still early. I'm going to the team for a meeting. You can go on to sleep." Ye Mingyuan tucked Su Jiao into a quilt and said softly.

"Hmm~" Su Jiao responded lazily. She really hadn't slept enough yet. .

Su Jiao raised her head and looked out the window, and found that there was a white sky outside with snowflakes falling.

Su Jiao endured the sleepiness and forced her eyes open and said, "It's snowing outside. Remember to put on your straw sandals and hat when you go out, and be careful on the road."

"Okay, go to sleep." Ye Mingyuan responded with a smile, reaching out and patting Su Jiao's quilt gently.

Su Jiao didn't get enough sleep, and the bed was too warm. Listening to the rhythmic beating, Su Jiao fell asleep again after a while.

Ye Mingyuan looked at Su Jiao and smiled fondly, then reached out and touched under the mattress. He found that the kang was a little cold. He leaned over and pulled the quilts for Su Jiao and Ye Yao, then put on his clothes and got off the kang. Added firewood to the stove and fire wall.

Ever since it snowed in early November, there have been constant snowflakes, and the weather has become colder and colder. The temperature in the morning and evening has dropped to about minus ten degrees. Now it can be said to be a world of ice and snow outside.

The fire wall at home started in early November, and a thick straw curtain had already been hung outside the door.

Ye Mingyuan put on straw sandals outside his cotton shoes to prevent slipping, put on his ear protection hat, wrapped himself in a thick cotton jacket, put his hands in his pockets and headed towards the production team office.

Yesterday, the captain informed that each family would send representatives to the team for a meeting today. Today is the day for the team to distribute soybean oil and cotton tickets.

Soybean oil is made by manually pressing soybeans in the oil mill of the production team. After the autumn harvest, the soybeans are stored in the warehouse. After the oil-pressing members come back from working in the river, the soybeans in the warehouse are taken to the oil mill for oil extraction. Finally, the oil is pressed according to work points. and heads are distributed among the members.

Cloth tickets and cotton tickets are distributed evenly per capita after the tickets are received every winter.

When Ye Mingyuan arrived, the team's small office was already crowded with people.

After a quick roll call to confirm that everyone had arrived, everyone started to draw lots and line up to receive the tickets.

It was already past eight o'clock when Su Jiao woke up. Su Jiao heard a noise in the kitchen and knew that Ye Mingyuan had returned from the meeting.

Su Jiao turned around and saw that Ye Yao had also woken up and was lying on the bed playing with the little turtle.

"Sister-in-law, are you awake? My brother is making breakfast. Let's play with the little turtle together." Ye Yao looked up and found that Su Jiao was awake and shook the toy in her hand excitedly.
