Travel through 70 and take brothers and sisters to the countryside together

"Qingshan, please add up how many households still haven't received cloth. Those who haven't received cloth have all been replaced. You can't favor one over the other. Everyone in your family has received cloth. Lobsters can be exchanged for five cents per pound. You can also use them. Let them change the cloth in the brigade headquarters, or you can change it with anything else. You can do it yourself, and don't organize others." The old woman's words made the brigade leader quickly agree, and the villagers in the open space nodded in agreement. The cadres of the village committee even echoed the call.

Wen Lei looked at the old lady with a kind face. She must be in her 70s. She had no age spots on her face, her skin was not very white, she had double eyelids and a high nose bridge. She still had red lips and white teeth in her 70s. Wen Lei thought to herself, she didn't know what kind of beauty she was when she was young. Looking at the surrounding villagers and village cadres, the eyes of old and young looking at the grandmother are full of respect.

Wen Lei couldn't help but whisper to Yuan Jian. "Who is this old lady? See, everyone respects her?"

"Girl, you want to know who grandma is? Just call me Grandma Ji. Grandma and your Grandpa Feng live in the southernmost part of the village. If you have time, go to grandma's house. Grandma will prepare delicious food for you. Qingshan, these two girls are good , The village cannot treat others badly. Grandma Tiedan, if I hear you talking nonsense or swearing at others, I will move directly to your house, do you hear me?"

Aunt Zhang got up from the ground, walked to Grandma Ji and squatted down. "Auntie, I will stop being a jerk. If I do again, you can beat me with a cane!"

"You also know that you are cheating? If I hear that you are cheating in the future, your eldest uncle and I will not come to the brigade headquarters. We, the old couple, will live directly in your house and let you take care of us." Grandma Ji pretended to be angry and took a picture. The aunt backed it up, and then said softly. "These days are not easy, but they are much better than before, aren't they? At least we won't starve to death. We are all living well and obedient! Is your uncle still waiting for me at home? I'm going back."

After saying that she was about to stand up, Aunt Zhang quickly stood up and helped her. Patriarch Zhang also stood up and tried to help Grandma Ji, but the young man in the village was too short-sighted and almost fell behind. Aunt Zhang supported Grandma Ji's left arm, and a young man supported her right arm. The captain and the squatting villagers all stood up. The villagers in the open space automatically gave way.

Wen Lei watched everyone stand up and prepare to see each other off, so she also followed. Grandma Ji stretched out her hand, took one of Wen Lei's and patted it. "Good boy! I don't want you to give it away. Go and do what you have to do. Cuifen can just give it to me."

Watching Grandma Ji leave, watching her leaving. Wen Lei couldn't help but wonder what kind of person he was and what he had done to earn such respect from the entire village.

After Grandma Ji left, the villagers also went to work one after another, and the farce ended like this. Zhang Feilai washed the bowl and handed it back to Ding Yanyu. Wen Lei told him to come over tonight to get the cloth. He nodded in agreement, and then went to cut pig grass again with the basket on his back.

Wen Lei and Ding Yanyu took half a day off from the team leader. They haven't eaten yet. Will they still survive if they go to work now?

Wen Lei and Ding Yanyu returned to Educated Youth Point and saw that it was past two o'clock. The two of them were so hungry that they went to a state-owned restaurant first this morning, where they drank a bowl of porridge and ate a steamed bun. Wen Lei took out the remaining rice from Ding Yanyu's backpack. She wanted to make egg fried rice, but was too lazy to do it. After rummaging through the kang cabinet for a while, I found the side dishes and two cans brought by Yuan Huilian. Roll it up with lotus leaves and make two rice balls.

Each person had a rice ball and a can, sitting on huanghuali carved chairs, eating happily.

"Wen Lei, what do you think Grandma Ji's background is? The people in the village respect her so much! She's more powerful than the leader who visits the countryside." Ding Yanyu kept eating food in his mouth.

"You are a beautiful person with a kind heart! You must have done great things, there should be more than one. To know that you can be treated like this, I feel that you should have done many great things. If a person wants to be respected by so many people, isn't it? It's very easy." Wen Lei sighed while thinking.

At this time, Congcong shook his head in space and said. "You want to know, ask me? I know about Grandma Ji."

Wen Lei thought to herself that the little guy was not idle. He must have used his consciousness to explore the village and its surroundings. From Congcong's mouth, Wen Lei learned about Grandma Ji's life.

Grandma Ji is the eldest daughter of the landlord's family and Zhang Laifei's cousin. Grandma Ji's uncle is an officer of the Kuomintang, and the family has fled to Wanwan. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Lanxi Brigade did not escape the Japanese burning, killing and looting. It was Grandma Ji who brought the whole village up the mountain with the help of her servants. There was nothing to eat in the mountains, so Grandma Ji organized the servants and young adults to hunt. When someone was seriously ill, she personally collected medicine to treat the illness. Grandpa Feng was a scholar, and his handwriting was as good as anyone else. The supply and marketing cooperative in the town used to belong to Grandpa Feng's family. It was jointly owned after the founding of the People's Republic of China and confiscated after the Cultural Revolution.

During the Republic of China, most of the strong laborers in the village were kidnapped and used as soldiers. Grandma Ji used her little feet to visit the county, city, and provincial capital. He forced the county magistrate to step down, and also raped all officials related to forced conscription. She brought back all the strong laborers in the brigade from the military camp.

The surname Zhang is a common surname in the Lanxi Brigade, but there are not many direct relatives. They are all from tenant farmers. Perhaps their ancestors adopted the surname of their master. Zhang Laifei's grandfather was Grandma Ji's uncle's cousin, and all the land in Lanxi Brigade once belonged to Grandma Ji's natal family and Zhang Laifei's family.

After Grandma Ji got married, she originally lived in the town. After the Cultural Revolution, she was taken over by the villagers. During the famine in the past few years, Grandma Ji led a group of strong laborers to do business, which helped everyone get through those years. There are many people in the village and town who have benefited from her. They have saved the Eighth Route Army, sent supplies to the army, and fought against the Japanese.

She and Grandpa Feng have three sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter joined the art troupe back then and now lives in the provincial capital. The second daughter married a soldier and has been with the army. The eldest son is teaching in Beijing, the second son is in the supply and marketing cooperative of the provincial capital, and the third son died during the Anti-Japanese War.

After listening to Congcong's intermittent narration, Wen Lei admired Grandma Ji! It's so awesome, no wonder the people in the village respect him so much. Congcong also told Wen Lei that Grandpa Feng was almost paraded through the streets. Grandpa Feng worked as a Kuomintang clerk in the town, and during this period he secretly let go of several Eighth Route Army soldiers. Congcong said that there are still people who want to criticize Grandpa Feng, and Grandpa Feng is not in a good mental state now. But no one in the entire commune raised the idea of ​​criticizing Grandma Ji, and many people were criticized for criticizing Grandpa Feng. But the little reds ran away whenever they saw Grandma Ji, and did not dare to enter Grandma Ji's house.

Wen Lei had an idea in her mind. Grandma Ji and Grandpa Feng were afraid that they would not be safe living in the town, so they came here just to hide from the peace. Those little reds are afraid that their families still owe Grandma Ji’s life-saving grace, right? I don’t dare and can’t face Grandma Ji!

[As an aside, many of the stories in this story are true. Most of the deeds and characters of Grandma Ji and Grandpa Feng are true. I knew a grandma, Grandma Littlefoot, who has passed away. She sued the county magistrate at the age of 18 and didn't know a single person. Her deeds were sung and praised by local people at that time. She sang it to me once when she was over 90 years old, but I didn't think of writing it down at that time. When he was 70 years old, due to the problems left over from the Cultural Revolution in the late 1980s, my grandma walked from the countryside to the county seat, to the urban area and even to the provincial capital. None of her children supported her. Not only did she not support but even stop her and make sarcastic remarks, my grandma persisted for three years, and finally she succeeded. My grandma is really beautiful. She is still in her 80s as described above. She lived a good life when she was young. Her uncle was an army officer and her grandma's family was a big landowner. During the Cultural Revolution, she was rated as a rich farmer. Grandma Keyuan has been a legend all her life, and she has not missed doing business for five or eight years. The Cultural Revolution may have been very violent in some places, and it varies from person to person in some rural areas. Grandpa Feng really was not criticized back then, but people often came to his door. But when the little reds arrived at the door of grandma's house, they didn't dare to go in. However, the Cultural Revolution was really tortured physically and mentally, and could destroy people's spirits. Grandpa Feng wanted to commit suicide many times even if he was not wearing a high hat and paraded in the streets! Perhaps it was during the Cultural Revolution that he suffered a huge mental blow. Grandpa Feng passed away in the late 80s. He had been mentally unstable for many years before his death. Grandma Ji’s life is full of stories, but she grew up in a rural area and didn’t have so many opportunities. If Grandma Ji had grown up in a city, her life would have been a legend known to the world. She should have been a very great legend, but it's a pity that no one of her descendants inherited her brains and IQ. If one day my writing skills can be improved, I will find out the life story of Grandma Ji and write about her! 】
