His problem was that he was rehabilitated the year after the movement ended. Three cars came to pick up his father and son from the Third Brigade. However, they left the countryside but did not return to their original life. He fell ill halfway through. , sent directly to the hospital.

He lay in the hospital for three months, confessed his posthumous affairs, and then passed away.

Later, she wanted to find the child, but she didn't know where to look.

When she got news about the child again, the child had already achieved amazing results and stood at a height that others could not reach.

Now, the man is a bit older than she remembered. He is in his mid-thirties and looks like an old man in his fifties. The child is almost the same except that his clothes are more shabby, his body is thin, and his head is big. .

We met two years later than in the previous life, and he had barely grown at all.

Zhu Xiaomin's heart was being pulled hard by an invisible hand, but she could only use all her strength to suppress her emotions and not let anyone see it.

It is now April 1974, three and a half years earlier than when they left the countryside in their last life. I hope that her reaching out can help this man escape the fate of his previous life.

The militia captain of the Third Brigade went through the handover procedures and shouted to the man: "Luo Tingyuan, from now on, you will work in the First Brigade and obey the arrangements of the First Brigade, do you hear that?"

The boy pursed his lips and looked at him with hostility, but Luo Tingyuan remained calm, still lowering his head slightly, looking at the ground in front of him, and replied in a low voice: "I know."

The militia captain turned around and confessed to Gu Mancang and his party: "I leave the people to you." After saying this, he said hello again and left with his people.

This side of the First Brigade has many hills and slopes, so there are fewer livestock. This is the first time a capitalist roader has arrived. Suddenly, everyone didn't know what to say to the father and son.

After a moment of relative embarrassment, Qian Yuanfei said coldly: "Since someone wants you to come, you should be honest. Don't think that if you leave the third brigade, you can rebel and do whatever you do, and you will still get the result. Do you understand?"

The boy's eyes turned to him, and his lips pursed tighter.

This time, Luo Tingyuan didn't answer, and he didn't even move a muscle on his face.

No one knows whether he has ignored such reprimand in his heart or whether his whole person has become numb.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Qian Yuanfei's eyes filled with anger and asked again: "Do you understand?"

"Director Qian." Zhu Xiaomin intercepted him in time and gave him a fake smile in response to his gaze before saying, "They are here and have their tasks. The team has already made arrangements. If Director Qian has something to say, why not wait for the whole team?" Let’s talk about it during the meeting.”

That is to say, don't flaunt your authority at any time.

When he heard the words "convene a meeting," the boy's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he held his father's hand tighter.

Qian Yuanfei choked, his face turned the color of pig liver with anger, he just gritted his teeth and shouted: "Bless the educated youth!"

"I know, I know!" Zhu Xiaomin interrupted with a smile, "Take them away immediately." After speaking, he suppressed the blurted address and said to the father and son, "We will take you to settle down first, and we will talk about other things later. ." He winked at Xie Chengzhi and wanted to leave.

"Let the militia escort them over, don't run away halfway." Qian Yuanfei said coldly.

Zhu Xiaomin looked back at him, then at Xia Laosan and the others who had followed. Not wanting to cause trouble, she nodded and said to the boy, "Let's go!" She naturally went to help him get the basin in his hand, but he avoided him warily. .

Zhu Xiaomin's hands froze in mid-air, she paused her relieved smile, nodded, and walked ahead.

Seven or eight educated youths plus five or six militiamen, with the Luo family and his son in between, really looked like they were escorting prisoners.

Luo Tingyuan's left leg looked a little awkward. He lowered his head slightly and walked step by step without even glancing to the side.

But the boy's big dark eyes were wide open. He grabbed his father's arm and followed him, but his eyes were alertly paying attention to the unfamiliar environment around him.

After going downhill through the woods and then uphill, Zhu Xiaomin led the people directly into the courtyard of the educated youth spot.

Xia Laosan breathed out and said, "I've left the man to you. If... anything happens, remember to go to the brigade headquarters to call for me."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded and said with a smile: "We still have things to do here, so we won't keep you here."

Xia Laosan also smiled: "You're welcome." After saying that, he led the militiamen away.

The boy obviously didn't expect to come into a place like this. Although the house was also a low mud house, it was obviously a place where people lived normally. Even the yard was neatly kept. There was more expectation in his eyes, and he shook his head quietly. He shook his father's hand.

Luo Tingyuan was obviously a little surprised, but he just glanced at the yard, and then his eyes fell on the ground in front of him.

With only his own people left, Zhu Xiaomin breathed a sigh of relief and said to the two of them: "This is the educated youth point. Your accommodation will be arranged in the inner courtyard. I will send you there."

The light in the boy's eyes quickly faded, and he looked at her warily again.

The outer courtyard is where people live, or the inner courtyard is where animals are raised.

Zhu Xiaomin Quan pretended that he didn't see it and walked directly through the yard.

Xie Chengzhi was worried and followed him anyway.

After passing through the door that separated the inner and outer courtyards, the yard in front of him was much smaller, but the smoother and cleaner house and yard made the boy open his eyes wide again. He turned around and saw only a chicken coop in one corner. There was nothing else. of livestock.

Both father and son were full of suspicion. They followed Zhu Xiaomin through the courtyard again, turned a corner, walked to the end, and stopped in front of the last room.

Zhu Xiaomin opened the door made of tied branches and went in. Then she turned back and said, "This is your residence."

Luo Tingyuan paused at the door, held the boy's hand, and stepped in. Seeing the environment in the room, he was obviously surprised. He turned his head and his eyes finally fell on Zhu Xiaomin.

Along the way, it was obvious that the houses in this courtyard were newly built, and none of them had doors or windows. Only this one had doors and windows made of branches tied together.

Originally he thought it would be a firewood shed or something like that, but what he saw when he came in was a flat house with a kang, a stove, and a half-old mat spread on the kang.

Although there is nothing usable anymore, this is really a house for people to live in.

Seeing doubts in his eyes, Zhu Xiaomin explained apologetically: "The house is newly built. I only knew you were coming the day before yesterday. The time was too short and I didn't have time to make the doors and windows. Fortunately, the weather is getting warmer, so I have to make do with it."

She was explaining about the doors and windows.

Luo Tingyuan hesitated for a moment, full of questions but still didn't ask them. Instead, he said thank you.

Zhu Xiaomin added: "You settle down first, and then slowly add whatever you need. If you need anything, just contact us directly."
