Seventy-year-old book: The villain Zaizai’s best mother

They also heard the sound of the loudspeaker.

Except for Xiao Zaizai and Yaya, everyone else has an impression of the public trial meeting. The commune held it once every two or three years, especially in the past few years, which was held very frequently.

After the public trial, there were arrangements to shoot the prisoners. The militia companies escorted the criminals, sent them to remote wilderness areas, and then made them kneel down and be shot.

Those who are unlucky may have to be shot several times. In one case, a murderer was frightened to death by the sound of gunshots.

Da Zhuang and Gu Nianjun suspected that the militiaman missed on purpose. After all, how could he miss every time at such a close distance? They shot the murderer four times and frightened him to death.

Miaomiao had told her brothers before that they should not ask random questions when they go home, lest they ask something they shouldn't or embarrass their fourth aunt.

Xia Mingshuang and Zhao Peihong prepared the rice, served it in three portions, and said to Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang, "Go and deliver food to your third aunt and Doctor Qian."

Third Sister Gu and the others also have to take turns on duty at noon, so today it's her turn to eat there.

Now there are mushrooms, leeks, leeks, spinach, bean sprouts, etc. at home. Even in winter, you don’t have to just eat cabbage, radish and potatoes, you can also eat some fresh green vegetables.

Xia Mingshuang made spinach, vermicelli and meatball soup, as well as cabbage and tofu. If there were more people, the portions would be larger, and they would be served directly in small pots for everyone to eat.

Han Shunong hasn't left yet, but he is very busy now. In addition to teaching the Gujialing mushroom group, he also has to teach the brigade, other production teams, and even the outside brigade sends people to study.

Wherever he went to teach, he would have room and board, so he wouldn't bother Xia and Ming's family.

Having a hot meal on a cold day makes everyone feel warm in their hearts.

After dinner, the children went to school, and then snowflakes started to fall.

Xia Mingshuang asked them all to put on their hats and scarves to prevent snow from hitting their heads and to be careful of catching a cold.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, so Xia Mingshuang closed the door tightly, buried a few chestnuts in the stove, and then took fried melon seeds and put them on the kang to eat with Zhao Peihong.

Yaya walked around the house for a while after dinner and fell asleep now.

Zhao Peihong picked up the third sister's unfinished sweater and helped her continue knitting. She said to Xia Ming, "Sister-in-law, when the weather gets warmer, we want to build a house."

Xia Mingshuang: "It's a good thing. Where do you plan to build it?"

Zhao Peihong: "Originally we wanted to build it to the east of you, but since Dr. Lou's family has moved in, we wanted to build it behind you."

The Xingfu family is not directly behind Xia Ming's house, but behind Aunt Zhang's house. It's perfectly fine for Zhao Peihong and the others to build a house there.

The terrain of Gujialing is undulating. The original old village was in the flattest and most spacious area. The houses on the two north and south streets of the village were aligned in rows. The whole village looked relatively square.

Later, as the population increased, it was necessary to expand the house when the family was divided. If there was not enough space, they had to move to the side.

When the family was separated, Gu Yunshan did not build a house in the village. Instead, he chose a site in the west of the village. Seeing this, other families followed suit. The Xingfu family, Aunt Zhang'er's family, and several other families also came here to build houses.

Now the place is also lively.

If you want to build a house, you have to apply for a housing base from the production team, which is usually approved.

Xia Mingshuang said: "It takes several years to save materials to build a house. You definitely don't have it, so spend more money. If you need money, just say, I still have it here."

Gu Liangshan now has a job, and Zhao Peihong is not someone who takes advantage without repaying it, so Xia Mingshuang is naturally willing to help.

The two of them were talking about what kind of house they needed to build and what materials they needed, when they heard a call at the door from outside.

In the countryside, the door is always open during the day and will not be closed as long as there is someone at home, or even if no one is home.

Xia Mingshuang looked out of the glass window and saw several people carrying things into the yard.

She didn't recognize who it was at first, but Zhao Peihong took one look and her expression changed, "It's the captain and his wife, and his eldest daughter-in-law. They probably want to come here for privacy."

This matter actually only took a few days from the time she and Chen Lingjuan broke up to Zhou Chengguang looking for Zhang Meimei and Dong Hongbo.

They kept silent and didn't look for her before, so why did they suddenly come here now?

Xia Mingshuang: "The county public security bureau has already sentenced me. The public trial in the commune is just a formality, and it is useless if it is private."

plead? You can't blame her. After all, the Revolutionary Committee is responsible for this matter.

Xia Mingshuang went down to the ground and called the people in, "Captain? Why are you here in such a cold weather?"

Zhang Dezhong's face was ugly, and his wife Ma Huahua's face was even more gloomy. Her eyes and face were swollen, and she looked like she was crying hard.

The eldest daughter-in-law is not a big problem, but her face is not good either.

They carried a lot of gifts, including meat, candies, eggs, canned snacks, etc., all in two big bags.

Ma Huahua put the gift on the kang and said nothing.

Just when Zhang Dezhong was about to speak, his eldest daughter-in-law took the initiative and said, "Sister Mingshuang, Peihong, you are all here."

They just went to Lao Gu's house and wanted to talk to Zhao Peihong, but Wang Lanxiang said she was not at home.

Mrs. Gu took the initiative to say that her fourth daughter-in-law had gone to her boss's house and was with Xia Mingshuang.

Xia Mingshuang: "Yes, you must have come prepared. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Today is different from the past. She has already established a foundation in Gujialing and will not be bullied casually.

Don't beat around the bush, the people from their family have nothing else to do but plead for mercy, and they won't come here to apologize.

The eldest daughter-in-law forced out a smile and said, "Sister, as the saying goes, it's better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies, right?"

Xia Mingshuang: "Yes, but we were not the ones who took the initiative in making enemies."

You said that it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies, so why didn't you say this back then? At that time, Dong Hongbo harmed Zhao Peihong. If you punished Dong Hongbo directly, wouldn't it mean that there was no enemy? You have protected criminals and made this enemy. Now is the time to say it is not appropriate to make this enemy. Don’t you think it is too late?

You guys have taken advantage of all the good stuff.

When the Zhang family heard this, their faces turned ugly.

Ma Huahua said angrily: "It's been so long since this happened. We've all already started families. If we don't live a good life, why are we settling old scores again?"

Zhao Peihong's face changed with anger, and when she was about to speak, she was patted lightly by Xia Mingshuang.

Xia Mingshuang signaled Zhao Peihong not to be angry, and said to Ma Huahua: "Isn't it Zhang Meimei who convicted Dong Hongbo? Your daughter personally confessed, and the Public Security Bureau finally convicted Dong Hongbo. Why are you blaming us? Three years later, it seems that You still don’t realize your mistakes, and you still think it’s someone else who is wrong.”

The captain said hurriedly: "Comrade Mingshuang, don't get me wrong, that's not the case. Dong Hongbo is a liar. He coaxed Meimei to testify for him. We were all deceived by him. We are not actively protecting bad elements."

Now that the daughter has decided to give up on Dong Hongbo and expose him, naturally they can no longer protect Dong Hongbo, let alone be implicated by Dong Hongbo.

They have to pick their own.
