Ask for peace of mind

Wendi's cousin, Wenfeng, just this year became the secretary of the county party committee of Baisha County, a notoriously poor county.There are three fires for the new official to take office. The new county party secretary is young, full of vigor, and very motivated. He wants to work hard and strive to make a good appearance before the new round of transfers, help Baisha County out of poverty, and strive for ordinary people to reach the line of food and clothing. .

Most households in the village where the Sun family lives cannot meet the food and clothing line.Although Xu Wei'an's grandmother's house has a tile-roofed house that is rare in the village, it cannot guarantee food and clothing for a year.Every year in March and April, there is a shortage of people, and the life of the Sun family is also very difficult.

The Sun family used to be regarded as a rich peasant in the countryside, and they were not as mean to the villagers as the novels said.After the turmoil began, the Sun family was ruined, and all food, land, and houses were confiscated.There are still a lot of kind people in the village. Seeing that the Sun family obediently moved out of the tile-roofed house and moved into the cowshed, they didn't do much to rape them. They just took things from the old house and occupied the old house.After the turmoil ended, the old house was returned, but the things in the old house had long since disappeared, and the Sun family only had one house left.

After Xu Wei'an's uncle Sun Yucheng and younger uncle Sun Yucai got married and had children, the old house was very crowded.After discussing with each other, Sun Yucheng and Sun Yucai decided to move out of the old house. The two built two rough houses on the embankment not far from the old house.

In recent years, land reform has been carried out in full swing in some areas, and the state has also issued some rural land contract policies, but information updates in small areas are slow, and it is common for government orders to be unreasonable in this era.Wen Di came this time to investigate the situation of land contracting in rural areas, observe the living and medical conditions in rural areas, and obtain some intuitive information.The top figures in the country are playing games about whether to reform and to what extent. Although Wen Feng has not been in the officialdom for a long time, but with the news from his family and his own unique vision, he finds that reform is imperative. on the agenda.Investigate more information now, and you will be able to avoid detours in the future.Because he was new to the job, it took time to get familiar with the daily work, so Wen Feng didn't have time to go to the countryside to investigate, and now he didn't have anyone he could trust, so he could only entrust his cousin who was studying in Baisha County to help.

Although Wen Di is not interested in politics, he is highly motivated to personally participate in the implementation of national policies. He has a passion that belongs to that era.Besides, because he was not at home all the year round, and he was not at the gatherings of the brothers in the family, in order to escape Wenfeng's nagging when they met in the future, he took the initiative to help his cousin.Wen Di and Sun Lin are classmates, and they have a good relationship.Knowing that Wen Di wanted to know about the living conditions in the countryside, Sun Lin brought Wen Di to Sunzhuang.

Wen Di didn't look far away, he was accompanied by Sun Lin to visit Xu Wei'an's uncle Sun Yucheng.Sun Yucheng is a serious farmer, working all year round makes him look much older than his real age.The persecution during the turmoil was still fresh in his memory, and he mostly held a cautious attitude in the face of the changes in the world.As for the land contracting mentioned by Wen Di, he also heard from the village chief that some farmers in the village who were really poor and unable to get rid of the pot took the lead in contracting the land. From watching with cold eyes to now gearing up, eager to try.Sun Yucheng was also tempted, but it was a sin to be able to eat enough during the turmoil. At that time, the wealthy households who lived in a similar situation to his family had already been persecuted and their families were ruined.After experiencing such a distorted era, he didn't dare to entrust the big one to contract the land, and now he just watched with a cold eye.He couldn't help but consider the damage that the new changes might bring. After all, his parents were old and couldn't bear another round of blows.In fact, there are many people with the same mentality as Sun Yucheng. They can barely live their lives now. Although their children have no money to go to school, at least they don’t have to worry about the risks they will bear when policies change.Sun Yucai has been listening to his elder brother on this matter, so Sun Lin directly brought Wendi to Sun Yucheng's house.

Xu Wei'an didn't know what they were talking about, he only knew that when he woke up, Wen Di was at the bedside, looking at him with a smile.He was slightly embarrassed, opened his mouth to say something but couldn't make a sound, his throat was burning and hurting.However, before he could speak, Wen Di promptly poured a glass of water for him to drink.

After drinking the water, his throat felt a little more comfortable, and Xu Wei'an seemed to wake up a bit. Just as he was about to say thank you, he remembered what happened last night.The child's face turned pale, and he shivered involuntarily.When Wen Di saw him like this, he knew that he remembered the experience of last night, thought of him crying silently last night, like a helpless little beast, and quickly hugged him in his arms and patted his back to comfort him gently.

After Xu Wei'an's mood stabilized, Wen Di stroked his hair and asked, "An'an, what happened last night?"

"Snake... I was on the side of the stone... I touched the snake..." Xu Wei'an said uneasily, holding on to Wen Di's clothes tightly.

Wen Di knew that he was afraid of snakes, but he didn't know that he was afraid to this extent.

"Then why did you touch the monkey at night? What if you touch the snake?" Wen Di already remembered what he said to himself last night.

"Sister Yanzi is not afraid of snakes, but she dare not go into the forest alone, I have to accompany her." The child is quite sensible.

Wen Di was a little soft-hearted, and a little bit dumbfounded.

"If you're afraid, you have to say it, or no one else will know." Wen Di reached out to touch his head, and found that the temperature had dropped. "If you don't talk about your own needs, when people get used to them, they will feel that you have no needs and gradually ignore your needs." Wen Di let go of him, pinched his face, and laughed at him, "Are you stupid or not? Um?"

Kid Xu Wei'an sniffed, didn't understand what was needed or not, but after understanding the two sentences before and after, he retorted: "I'm not stupid, I am the first in the class every time I take the exam." After finishing speaking, he was still proud He straightened his small chest, but then he sighed like an adult again, "Sister Yanzi treats me well, and I want to treat her well. Besides..." His voice became weaker and weaker, "I don't want to let Grandma is worried, and she doesn't want to be a drag." Actually, in his heart, he had a vague feeling that no one would care except grandma, and he couldn't always make her worry because grandma was getting old.Out of the child's shallow self-esteem, he doesn't want to think about it, and he doesn't want to tell the person around him about his embarrassing situation like a floating weed.

"You're still so young, how could you become a..." drag?Wen Di suddenly seemed to understand something. He was a little embarrassed and sad, so he adjusted his facial expression and said with a smile: "You are so sensible, no wonder your grandma, Sister Yanzi, and Brother Lin Zi like you. Even I like you It's over."

Xu Wei'an's eyes lit up after a "snap", and he was very happy to pick up Wen Di's clothes, and then he felt shy, blushing and whispered: "I like grandma the most, and I like you very much, I like Sister Yanzi them."

Wen Di saw that he forgot what happened before and felt better, so she teased him, "If you like me, you have to listen to me, you know?"

"Yeah." Little Xu Wei'an blinked his bright eyes and nodded heavily, not knowing that he had sold himself.

The weather was hot, and just after staying in the house for a while, Wen Di started sweating and felt very uncomfortable.The child was also sweating and had a low-grade fever, so it must be more uncomfortable.He put on Xu Wei'an's clothes and took him to enjoy the shade under the shade of the trees in the yard.

"Grandma, An'an's fever has subsided a bit. It's too hot in the room. I'm afraid he will feel uncomfortable, so I take him to cool off in the yard for a while."

"Hey, there's watermelon in the well. When it's hot, take it out and cut it up. The knife is on the table in the main room. Don't let An An eat it. It's cold. I'm afraid his fever will burn again." The old lady was in the kitchen. busy with lunch. "By the way, where did Lin Zi go, why didn't he come back with you?"

"He and his uncle went to collect the straw on the embankment, and he will probably be back in a while."

"Understood, you and An'an should cool off for a while, eat less watermelon, and dinner will be ready in a while. At noon, we will eat noodles with bacon and garlic moss. I hope you will never forget it after eating it." The old lady said with a smile.

"Hey, I won't eat watermelon anymore. You are good at cooking. I want to save my stomach and eat more for lunch."

The old lady was happy, "Okay, I'll make more, and I'll make sure you enjoy your meal."

Wen Di and Xu Wei'an sat side by side on a log under the shade of a tree.The cicadas sing loudly, the birds sing melodiously, the breeze blows from the other side of the river from time to time, the bamboo forest sways and rustles, and the air is filled with the green fragrance of bamboo leaves and the aroma of vegetables for lunch.Surrounded by the strong atmosphere of rural life, Wen Di, who squinted his eyes, felt unprecedentedly relaxed.

Once a person relaxes, his head tends to twitch, even though he is facing Xu Wei'an, who is much younger than him.

"An'an, have you lived at grandma's house for so long, do you miss home?" Wen Di tilted his head slightly and looked at the child next to him.

Xu Wei'an pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't know how to answer, but he still thought about it and gave an answer: "I don't know."

Wen Di was surprised: "Why don't you know?"

Xu Wei'an is just a child now, and he can't explain the specific emotional analysis, "My brother and sister are small, and my mother is too busy, so she sent me here. Grandma likes me, so I like to stay at grandma's house." He He lowered his head, fiddled with the caterpillars at his feet, and muttered in a low voice, "They said that I am not my mother's own child. I am afraid that my mother will not like me, so I dare not think about going home."

Wen Di was stunned. Although he had guessed before, he really didn't know that he could ask such family secrets.Seeing the child whose head was getting lower and lower, wishing to get into the cracks in the ground, Wen Di felt embarrassed and distressed.

Wen Di put his arms around the child's shoulders, and said, "An An is a good boy, my brother likes you very much, there must be many people who like you..." Wen Di himself felt dry, he really hated himself Reckless.

But Xu Wei'an's reaction was much better than he expected.The child raised his head, his eyes sparkled, and he lost the disappointment just now. He nodded vigorously and said, "Well, I know that people will like you only if you are sensible, so I will learn to be sensible." After finishing speaking, he was embarrassed He murmured softly, "Brother, I like you very much..." As he spoke, he raised his head, his eyes no longer dodged, but looked at Wen Di brightly with longing, "You must like me, okay?" ?”

Wen Di only felt that his heart was softening a little, and he quickly promised, "Okay, okay, as long as you are happy, brother will like you. Huh?"

"Yeah." Xu Wei'an threw himself into Wen Di's arms, raised his head, his eyes were bent into crescent moons, and the corners of his mouth were cracked to reveal small white teeth like rice grains. He nodded vigorously, just like the shy one who dared to peek at him when he first met yesterday His Xu Wei'an is completely different.

Wen Di realized in his heart that a child longs for love and care, and whoever gives him a little kindness will open his soft heart to that person, but now, Xu Wei'an has opened a thin protective shell for him.Wen Di's heart is sore and weak, seeing his cute and sensible appearance, it's rare to see him.Despite the hot weather, Wen Di still held the child in his arms and rubbed it, which made the child giggle.

If Xu Wei'an were older and experienced more, he would find that when a person is abandoned by the world, without relatives, friends, family, or even the material conditions for survival, his heart is worthless.Fortunately, he met Wen Di before he learned to be humble. He gave his heart to this little brother as a priceless treasure, and then he was cherished.And if Wen Di is older and has experienced the ups and downs of society, his heart will not be so soft and warm, but at this age, Wen Di was born in a family with no worries about food and clothing and relatives, and has never experienced wind and rain. In the most passionate and warm period of his life, he is warm and tolerant, upright and kind, and cherishes the beauty of the world.So, everything is just right!
