Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

Later, Uncle Shen lost consciousness and fell into a coma. When he woke up again, he only felt pain all over his body. He moved his limbs slightly and found no bone fractures. Uncle Shen then breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did they have time to observe the surroundings and found that this was a small warehouse with more than a dozen people detained in it. Some of them had already woken up, while others were still unconscious.

Uncle Shen found a corner to lean against and rested quietly. After an unknown amount of time, the door of the warehouse opened and a man came in carrying a cloth bag. "Get up and eat."

The man shouted and people came to him immediately. He took out a fist-sized steamed bread from his cloth bag and distributed it to these people one by one.

Although there were few things, at least they would not starve to death. Then the man brought over a bucket of water with a porcelain bowl on it. Whoever was thirsty could drink from it.

Everyone wolfed down the steamed bread, and then rushed to the bucket to drink water. Half an hour later, the man took the bucket away without even looking at the unconscious people.

The room fell silent for a moment. Everyone hid aside and licked their wounds secretly. No one cared about the life or death of others at this time.

In the following days, the red armbands held several criticism meetings, and only after tormenting these dozen people enough did they allow them to be taken away.

On Xiaoxue's side, Mr. Shen and Aunt Shen had already settled down in the village. When Mr. Shen had nothing to do, he would sit under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village and became familiar with all the old men in the village.

Aunt Shen was at home cultivating the land and sometimes chatting with the women in the village. Anyway, the saying in the village was that the newly moved people were easy to get along with.

Aunt Shen also half-truthfully revealed some information about the Shen family's situation. Her children were working in the south and her husband was not at home. She had been taking care of the old man after he retired, and she had also retired early. This let everyone in the village know that this was a family that had no worries about food and drink.

At the same time, they are a family that cannot be offended. Not to mention that the children in the family all go to work, even those who often deliver firewood to the military region know whose relatives these are.

The firewood for Mr. Shen's family was also sent by the villagers, and the villagers didn't say anything. After all, the people in the Shen family are not young anymore.

While Mr. Shen was free, he also took a look around the cowshed. There were three people living in the cowshed, an old man and a couple.

The old man's surname was Su. He was a lookout for cows in the cowshed and was from the brigade. The couple were from Shanghai and taught at the university. Later, they were reported by students for having reactionary books at home, and that's why they were sent down here.

Of course, these were all heard by Old Man Shen when he was chatting with Old Man Su. According to Old Man Shen's observation, Old Man Su did not talk to the Qin couple in public, but he took good care of them in secret.

And the couple was also easy to get along with. Mr. Shen had spoken to them several times. Although they were all very cautious, Mr. Shen could still see a little bit of their personalities.

This made Mr. Shen feel relieved. At least his son would not suffer too much when he came here. He just didn't know when he would come.

As for Uncle Shen, after several criticism meetings, they were already exhausted. They thought that enough was enough and further trouble might result in loss of life, so they assigned them according to the list.

Captain Su also received the notice at this time. Although he cursed his bad luck in his heart, he still had to go to the commune to bring the person back.

Fortunately, Uncle Shen was the only one assigned to the Qianjin Brigade. Captain Su drove a ox cart to the commune and returned with one person in the morning.

At this time, Uncle Shen looked listless, as if he was about to faint at any time. Captain Su was really afraid that something might happen, so he let him get on the ox cart. The ox cart went all the way back to the Qianjin Brigade. When passing the village entrance, Old Shen saw his weak son.

Although he wanted to go forward to check on his son, Mr. Shen still suppressed his excitement. He couldn't let anyone know the relationship between his family and Shen Qingshan, otherwise it would not only implicate the children at home, but also implicate Li Tianyi.

After the ox cart went away, the group of old men and women at the village entrance were still talking. Mr. Shen sat for a while before getting up and going home.

When they just got home, Aunt Shen was still hoeing the fields. Old Shen called her over and told her that Shen Qingshan had arrived. Aunt Shen suddenly became excited and stood up and wanted to go out. Old Shen hurriedly stopped her, then told her his concerns and thoughts, and repeatedly warned her not to recognize Shen Qingshan outside.

We can talk about it in the evening. Now let's hurry to find some medicine at home. Just now, Mr. Shen took a quick look and found that Shen Qingshan should be injured. We don't know what condition he is in now. If the medicine at home is not complete, go find Xiaoxue and ask Xiaoxue to go to the hospital to get some anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and some medicine for injuries.

Aunt Shen hurried into the house to prepare. When Mr. Shen and his family moved, Xiaoxue also moved in the bedding that she had prepared for Uncle Shen, which made it convenient to deliver it to Shen Qingshan in the evening.

Just as Mr. Shen was sitting in the yard thinking about how to check at night, Aunt Shen ran out of the house, "Dad, there is no medicine at home. I'll go to Xiaoxue's place."

Mr. Shen nodded, then whispered, "Don't show your emotions on your face when you go back, otherwise it will easily arouse suspicion!"

Aunt Shen nodded. After all, she had participated in the war with Old Man Shen and Uncle Shen when she was young. She was just excited for a moment, but now she has returned to normal. Aunt Shen tidied her clothes and walked out of the door with a calm face.

Old Mr. Shen nodded with satisfaction. The Shen family had married a good daughter-in-law. Although she was an orphan of a martyr, she was able to support the family.

When Aunt Shen met villagers outside, she greeted them as usual. When others asked her where she was going, Aunt Shen did not hide it and said directly that she was going to the military district’s family compound to see her children.

The villagers had no doubts, they were just very envious of Aunt Shen.

After leaving the village, Aunt Shen quickened her pace and soon arrived at the gate of the military area. After registering, Aunt Shen walked towards the family area.

As I walked through the door, I saw Doudou playing by himself and Xiaoxue cooking in the kitchen.

When Doudou saw Aunt Shen coming, he called out "Grandma" and then threw himself on Aunt Shen. Aunt Shen quickly squatted down and hugged him.

Xiaoxue noticed the commotion in the yard and came out to check. Seeing that it was her aunt, she quickly asked her to sit down.

Aunt Shen was not in the mood to chat. She pulled Xiaoxue to sit down, then lowered her voice to tell Xiaoxue that her uncle was here.

Xiaoxue was also very excited, and then continued to listen to her aunt. When she heard that medicine was needed, Xiaoxue said, "No need to go to the hospital. Tianyi was injured before, and the hospital prescribed a lot of medicine. He is now in Sijiu City, and the medicine is changed there, so the medicine at home is basically not touched."

"Aunt, come with me now and take a look. Let's take some things back. At night, I will take An An and Dou Dou to live in the village, and I will go to see my uncle at night."

Aunt Shen quickly stopped her, "No, you can't go. This matter can't involve you. If something happens to you, what will happen to the children at home?"

Seeing Aunt Shen's firm attitude, Xiaoxue had to suppress the idea.
