60s Splendid Life

This matter is a bit complicated to talk about. From the memories left by his original body, Lu Jin knew that their grandfather's ancestors were landlords, and the life of their grandfather's generation was pretty good.But precisely because of their grandfather's identity as a landlord, many landlords were dragged into criticism during the earlier campaign, and their family property was confiscated or robbed. In order not to get involved, their grandfather Children, if you break your relationship with your children, you will also break your relationship with them.As for their grandfather, he was sent to the Anshan labor camp for labor reform, and he is still locked up there.

Lu Jin came here, accepted the memory of the original body, and also knew something about their grandfather's house.

He also didn't know how to judge the matter itself.He remembered that when he saw this period of history in his high school history book, he still felt that the landlord deserved to be criticized.But when you really understand the consequences, you will know that whether you are a landlord or a poor person, there are good people and bad people. It does not mean that the landlord is a bad person, nor does it mean that the poor are good people.But in that special period, all the landlords were beaten into a group, and there were many innocent people, including their grandfather.

It is difficult for Lu Jin to talk about this matter with a few children. He can only truly understand this period of history after they grow up and understand it by themselves.

When the children asked why grandpa didn't come to see them, and if he didn't remember them, he told the children: "Grandpa has always missed us in his heart, let's go and see grandpa, grandpa will be happy." And they I'm afraid that no one will inform the old man about the death of his parents. He doesn't know how big a blow it will be to the old man when they pass by and bring this news to the old man. Don't talk about it, you still have to tell the old man frankly.

He remembered that Aunt Yuanzheng said that they had an uncle, but he didn't have the slightest impression of their real uncle. Maybe Yuanzheng had seen it when he was young, but maybe it was because he was too young at that time, so he didn't have any impression. .

"Let's go to see grandpa, let's go with brother and you." Lu Haochen was still thinking about going to see grandpa and bring him something delicious. Well, he even hid two pieces of candy for each meal, and There is still half of the moon cake my brother gave today...you can take it to grandpa.

Lu Qinglian was thinking about whether she had a grandfather, but after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't remember that she had a grandfather.

Xiao Bao'er is still young, with a simple mind, and now she only knows how to act like a baby in her brother's arms.

Lu Jin raised his hand to touch the children lying in his arms, said something to the children, and asked his sister to put on the oil lamp and go back to sleep in the next room. They slept in the room next door.

***

Two days later—

Early in the morning, Wang Chenglin drove a mule cart to their door, accompanied by his sister-in-law Xiumei and brothers Da Mao and Er Mao.Lu Jin opened the door to invite people in. He just baked some sesame pancakes this morning, and he took them out to share with everyone, and put the rest in a basket to take with him on the road.

"Is everything packed?" Wang Xiumei knew that Lu Jin's brothers and sisters were going out today, so she followed them here to see if there was anything they could do to help.

"It's all packed, that's all." This time when they went to visit their grandfather, Lu Jin brought over the two new quilts that had just been laid a few days ago. The autumn wind started in August, and the weather was going to be cold. Except for being taken by their father to visit the elderly when they were young, the other three children have never visited their grandfather.

They haven't visited the old man for so many years, and they don't know what the old man lacks.There must be a shortage of things. They will send some food and food first, and then slowly send the rest.

"I'll take you to the cart." Wang Chenglin helped them take the packed things to the mule cart and put them away.

Lu Jin gave Wang Xiumei the keys to the house, and handed over the affairs of the house to her, "I'll ask my sister-in-law to help us look after the house during the few days we're not at home. There's a pot of fish on the stove. It is used to feed the cat. Sister-in-law, you have to cook it sooner or later. When feeding the cat, take a spoonful of fish and soup and mix it with rice, and the cat will eat it. The rice does not need too much, half a bowl of rice is enough for it to eat It's gone."

"There are also chickens and ducks at home. Please ask my sister-in-law to help us feed them. Two geese and some ducks like to swim in the river outside the village in the evening. If you let them out, they will come back by themselves." The melons and vines have all withered, and he has too many things to do recently. He has no time to tidy up the vegetable garden, so he can only do it when he comes back.

"Okay, I remember. Don't worry, they won't be hungry." Wang Xiumei took the key and wrote down everything Lu Jin explained.

Afraid of the strong wind on the road, Lu Jin took each of the three children a thicker coat to wear on the road, and also carried an old quilt and spread it on the mule cart, otherwise they would have to sit so far away. Butt hurts, it will be better if there is something under it.

Carrying little Bao'er to the car, Chenchen and her sister climbed up by themselves.

"Brother, take care of them on the way, go and come back smoothly." Wang Xiumei told her brother.

"Well, I understand. We are leaving, you don't have to send them off, I will send them back in two days." Wang Chenglin waited for Lu Jin to sit in the back of the mule cart. He sat in the front, grabbed the reins and moved the mule. Pulled the car away.

"Sister-in-law, let's go." Lu Jin turned his head and waved to the people behind.

Lu Qinglian and Lu Haochen also waved to their sister-in-law and two younger brothers.

Wang Xiumei led her two sons out to the entrance of the alley, watched her elder brother drive the mule cart away, and raised her hand to wave to the children who were waving to them.Da Mao raised his head and asked A Niang: "A Niang, where are Chenchen and the others going?"

Er Mao also looked up at A Niang, waiting for A Niang to answer.

"They're going to visit their relatives, and they'll be back in two days." Wang Xiumei touched the heads of the two children and said.

I met people from the village on the road, saw them sitting in a mule cart, and asked them where they were going. Lu Jin just smiled and said that he would go to the town. Fortunately, they often go to the town. The younger brother went to the town for medical treatment, and no one would suspect that they were going out.

In advance, he had explained to the three children that they were not allowed to say that they were going to visit their grandfather, so as to avoid revealing their identity as their grandfather when they could. Although the trend of fighting landlords has passed in the past few years, who knows when it will revive again, and Maybe it's going to start up again soon.He only told his sister-in-law Xiumei about their going out, and went to Captain Lu to approve a note, otherwise there would be no note for going out now, and many places would not be able to enter.So only Captain Lu and his Aunt Qin knew that they were going to Anshan Labor Camp to visit their relatives, but even if Captain Lu and his Aunt Qin knew about it, they would not go out and tell others, so he was more at ease about it of.

On their way out of the village in the carriage, they saw many people working in the fields.

After the last season's rice is harvested, they will plant another season of corn, peanuts, potatoes and cabbage, so at this moment, the commune members are plowing the ground and sowing seeds again.

After leaving the village, the mule cart went in the direction of the town. What they were going to was the Anshan labor camp, which was the largest labor camp in their Anhua County. All the people in the county who needed labor reform were sent there. Their grandpa was there too.

Starting from their village, there is still a hundred kilometers to the Anshan labor camp.

The distance of hundreds of kilometers does not sound too far away. If a car is used to drive there in a few decades, it will only take more than half an hour to drive there.But in this era of inconvenient transportation, it is very difficult to travel far away. If they just rely on two feet to walk, they may not be able to get there from sunrise to sunset. It's better to sit in a mule cart now, at least you don't have to walk on your feet.

"Brother Cheng Lin, do you know how to get there?" Lu Jin didn't have any impression of the way there.

"I've heard people say that there, but I haven't been there. I should be able to find it by asking people on the road." Wang Chenglin has only been to their county town as far as he has heard before. Over there, but no one would go to the labor camp if nothing happened, so he didn't know how to go.

"The left and right are on the county side. Let's go to the county first, and then ask someone."

"Yes, we will find someone to ask about it then."

Lu Jin probably knew the direction, but he didn't remember the exact way.Little Baoer was playing with his brothers and sisters in the car, so he moved to the front to chat with Wang Chenglin, asking how he borrowed the mule cart.

"It's still thanks to the jar of wine you gave that day. I sent what you gave and told Qi Ye that I would borrow his family's mule cart for two days. When Qi Ye opened the jar and smelled the wine, the two of them said nothing. I agreed, and let me ask you if your wine is sold, and let me buy some for him." Wang Chenglin is a dull person in front of outsiders, but once he gets to know him well, he still has a lot of words .

"Although the wine is delicious, you can't be greedy. I have boiled a few jars of wine in the past two days. When you go back to Cheng Lin, you can go to my place and go back with a big jar. The sweet rice wine I brew should be the same. It's alright, I'll make a jar for Brother Cheng Lin, and you can take it home to drink with your sister-in-law in winter." Lu Jin knew that Wang Chenglin was already married at this age and had several children. It was all in the name of giving it to his wife and children, otherwise Wang Chenglin would not be willing to take his things given his personality.

But when it comes to giving wine, men should like to drink. He still has some confidence in the wine he brews. As long as he likes to drink, there should be no one who doesn't like the wine he brews.
