Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

In the northern room of the He family's central courtyard, lights illuminate the main hall.

The family sat around the dining table, on which were placed plates of delicious dishes.

He Yuzhu sat at the top, with a short beard on his chin, and his face looked more mature and stable than before.

"Tongtong, Yangyang, judging from the situation outside, you two can't go to school. Do you have any ideas?"

The sudden voice broke the silence at the table, and everyone looked at the siblings.

The strong wind had been blowing for several years, and they had grown from elementary school students to middle school students.

Tongtong now looks like her younger aunt, tall and fair, with features inherited from Chen Xueru, exuding a Jiangnan elegance.

Yangyang's appearance is also outstanding. His family has no worries about food and drink, and with years of exercise, he has grown tall and strong.

Hearing the question from their father, the brother and sister looked at each other.

Tongtong winked and asked her brother to answer the question.

It has become a habit over the years, and when Yangyang saw this look, he answered smoothly.

"Dad, I'm still young now, so I'll just stay at home. I want to go out and try my luck!"

When Tongtong heard this, she wanted to interrupt. It was obviously not what the two of them had discussed before.

He Yuzhu noticed Tongtong's abnormality and immediately understood what had happened. Relief appeared in his eyes and he raised his hand to prevent Tongtong from interrupting.

"You're a good kid! Your sister does face more risks when she's out.

As a father, I am very happy that you can make this decision.

Tell me! Where do you want to go? Even if I have to beg you for mercy, I will still support you! "

The significance of going to the countryside to receive re-education through labor is not just to relieve the pressure in the city and let the countryside take on the responsibility of supporting this group of people.

The current development situation in the country is very different, and various industries are still booming.

A large number of factories require a large number of workers, so they can naturally absorb a lot of personnel.

However, the population has increased from a number starting with 4 to a number starting with 8, a net increase of several hundred million.

The vast rural areas still need educated young people to participate in construction.

What is more important is to transform the educated youth, get them to participate in labor and broaden their horizons.

Walking barefoot on this ancient land, we use the knowledge we have learned to build it and benefit the people.

Instead of putting books under your feet, thinking that you are superior to others, and looking down on people from a high position.

The higher the books are stacked, the more painful it will be if you fall from them.

Yangyang subconsciously lowered his head, pretending to eat, not wanting others to notice his flickering eyes.

"Dad! There's still some time before my birthday. Let me think about it carefully first."

This is indeed a major event in life. He Yuzhu didn't think there was anything wrong with his answer and nodded slightly.

"You're right. It seems you've really grown up! Well, when you've made up your mind, feel free to tell me and your mom."

After waiting for a long time for He Yuzhu to finish speaking, Tongtong smiled when she saw that he agreed to help his brother arrange it.

But she knew that her father knew many important leaders and would definitely be able to take care of her family.

Normally, it was just an interaction between a sister and a brother. How could she not consider her brother in such a matter?

"Dad! You have to be more careful. Jiayang has suffered for me this time!"

He Yuzhu looked at his daughter who was acting like a spoiled child happily and waved his hands: "Okay, okay, I will definitely do it!"

Chen Xueru concealed her worries and added food to her son's bowl with a normal expression.

Since you have to go through this journey anyway and it cannot be changed, just make more preparations.

Uncle Fang, whose hair had turned white by this time, sat on the chair opposite and listened quietly.

He finished the food in his bowl, put down his chopsticks and made his proposal.

"Zhu Zi, Xiao Ru. How about sending Xiao Yang to the army? It's easy for me to send him there."

He has been in the He family for more than ten years. He has watched the siblings grow up and has already treated them as his own descendants.

He has no children or grandchildren, and never asks the organization for benefits.

It is reasonable that no one would stop sending a junior to the army.

"Sir, thank you for your concern. But let's wait until he has thought it over. It won't be too late then. What do you think?"

Uncle Fang's eyes fell on Yangyang who lowered his head. He didn't say anything at this moment, but he had made it clear.

He smiled and nodded: "Okay, a man should have his own ideas."

The next morning, He Yuzhu had breakfast at home as usual and rode his bike to work.

"Mom, I'm full! I'll go out for a walk later..."

Yangyang watched He Yuzhu's figure disappear in the yard and quickly finished his breakfast.

He stood up after saying this and hurried to his room.

Chen Xueru put some side dishes into her youngest son’s bowl and couldn’t help but laugh and scold.

"This kid... has been so irritable lately!"

He does not mean that.

Tongtong, who had gone to and from school with him for so many years, seemed to sense something was wrong and her eating movements suddenly increased.

She planned to go over and see what her brother was doing.

It came as a surprise yesterday. I was so touched at the time that I didn’t think much about it, but today I felt something was wrong.

"Mom, I've finished eating too! I have an appointment with my classmates, so I need to go out later."

Chen Xueru looked at her daughter in surprise, wondering how could it be so fast, but she didn't think much about it.

"Okay! Nannan, you can go out, but be careful. It's a bit chaotic outside, come back early and don't let your family worry."

"Mom, I know! Don't you know my skills? Three or five people can't get close to me!"

Tongtong showed a smug expression on her face and ran out of the room with a smile.

"Mom, I want to go out and play too!"

When the youngest son saw that his older brothers and sisters had all gone out, his eyes were filled with excitement as he wanted to go out.

As the sun was approaching its zenith, Chen Xueru told her youngest son not to go out and play as it would be dinner time soon.

I went into the kitchen alone, heated up the food, and had a simple meal as usual.

The steamer on the stove had just started to emit steam when footsteps were heard.

"Mom! Mom! Something bad has happened!"

Tongtong ran in hurriedly and shouted at her.

Chen Xueru was so frightened that her hands shook and the ladle in her hand almost fell to the ground.

"What's the matter? Don't make a fuss. If you have something to say, just say it. Don't scare me!"

Tongtong ran up to her, snatched the thing in her hand, threw it on the table next to her, and held her hand tightly.

“Mom, I followed Jiayang out this morning and saw him go to school, but I didn’t pay much attention to it.

When I came back, I went around to take a look and found that something was wrong.

I climbed over the wall and saw Jiayang in the crowd. I didn’t know how he got involved with those people!

Mom, what should I do? Dad, if he knew about this…"

Chen Xueru was very clear about He Yuzhu's attitude. She grabbed Tongtong's wrist with her backhand, eager to know the details.

"Tongtong, did you see it clearly? How could this happen! How could this happen! Yangyang is such an obedient child~"

"Mom, how could I have mistaken someone? What do you think we should do? Should we wait for him to come back or..."

Chen Xueru quickly came to her senses and realized that the matter could not be delayed. It seemed that sending her son away was a good thing.

Whether joining the army or going to work, it is better than joining the gang.

She shook her head and said firmly, "No, you must tell your dad about this!"

After a pause and some thought, he continued, "Well, you ride your bike to the workplace to find your dad, and take him to bring your brother back.

I'll go out and make a phone call to ask your aunt to come over. If your dad gets angry, there will be someone to stop him."

Hearing this arrangement, Tongtong nodded repeatedly: "Okay, Mom, I'll go right away."

The mother and daughter didn't have time to eat, so they rushed out of the kitchen, walked to the front yard, said something to Uncle Fang, and then went out of the yard to go their separate ways.
