Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

Lin Baoyan struggled to shovel the last shovel of wheat into the bamboo basket, gasping for breath as she leaned on the wooden shovel.

She doesn't plan to grow staple food this year or next year because manual farming is too tiring. Her small body is not strong enough yet and she can't get too tired.

Fortunately, after two seasons of planting, we have stored a total of 2,000 kilograms of dried wheat and rice. What we are worried about now is how to remove the shells and grind them into powder.

It was impossible to process it by myself. There was no flour mill or rice mill in the space. What use would a small stone mill be? But how could I find someone to process it outside without leaking it?

I am worried that this space cannot be more intelligent. I have to do everything by myself and there are no advanced tools. It will take a long time to achieve this.

Looking at such a large space, she was really worried. If she just left it alone, she would feel reluctant. But if she didn't, she could grow vegetables or crops there. But the same thing happened: she couldn't eat them all.

As for that, take it out and exchange it.

If it was half a year ago, she would still dare to go out and change it, but now, if she doesn't want to cause any problems, she should not move.

With Xiao Li around, do you think the country will pay attention to certain situations?

Especially after the high-yield rice and wheat are harvested.

I harvested all the wheat, fed the chickens and ducks, picked up chicken and duck eggs, caught a rooster and slaughtered it, fried a chestnut chicken, and ate it all with my mouth full of oil. Then I picked a mango and ate it. Then I changed my clothes, brushed my teeth, and left the space.

When she came out, it was almost five o'clock and it was still very hot outside. She brought back the water that had been outside for the whole afternoon and took a good bath. She was so tired that she didn't want to move.

Now she has three rooms, a kitchen, a utility room and a bedroom.

The bedroom is the main room where Chen Datou and his wife originally lived. It is spacious, well-lit, and very comfortable to live in.

The only bad thing is that there is an old deaf person living next door who has good hearing and good eyesight. Any noise can be heard by the neighbors.

It was strange to say, how come the deaf old lady had not yet become a so-called five-guarantee household? Without the title of a so-called five-guarantee household, she would not have any special prestige in the courtyard.

They all came out of the chaotic times. They didn't want to eat the old lady and make her family extinct. They just wanted to respect her, fear her, and be filial to her because they seemed to have some relationship with her. Go to sleep. Everything is possible in dreams.

But this is only now. Ten years later, the situation will change.

In this era, many people still don't understand the assistance system for the elderly and widows. During the New Year and other holidays, when the street office visits the elderly and widows to express their condolences, if Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady were a little more vague in their words, they could distort the story into that the street office made a special visit to the deaf old lady to add some luster to her identity.

At that time, Yi Zhonghai would spread some rumors, such as the old lady's entire family had sacrificed their lives in the anti-Japanese war, and that the old lady had even made shoes for the Red Army. If people who didn't know the truth heard them, they would naturally be able to portray her as a military martyr's relative.

With these two layers of golden light protecting her body, and the fact that the deaf old lady was indeed very old, it was natural for her to be so domineering in the compound later on.

But why is it that now, these two layers of protective golden light are still silent?

Speaking of this matter, it is all thanks to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li had seen Qin Man, so how could he not know what kind of image the deaf old lady had in the TV drama fan fiction? He asked at the time, was this person a five-guarantee household? Was she a family member of a military martyr?

But the person being asked at the time was amused. What is a five-guarantee household? There is no such policy in cities. The state has special assistance for urban people with "three noes". Does this deaf old lady belong to the "three noes" who have no ability to work, no source of income, and no legal supporter? If not, then there will be no assistance.

As for the families of military martyrs, they have not yet obtained certificates and there is no sign hung at the door, so it is impossible for them to be such.

This matter was later reported to the street office and a number was registered there.

It was also because of this that when Yi Zhonghai went to the street office to apply for assistance for the deaf old lady as a "three-no" person, he encountered a problem: the deaf old lady was not a "three-no" person.

Haven't you, Yi Zhonghai, always claimed to be a model of morality and took the initiative to support the deaf old lady? Then she would have a supporter, and she would not be a "three-no" person. Or, are you, Yi Zhonghai, just making verbal claims but not actually paying a cent, and isn't that deceiving the government?

Also, is the deaf old lady sure that she has no source of income?

As a result, the first step of the plan of the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai could not be carried out. When they spread rumors later, as soon as they spread the word that they were making shoes for the Red Army, they were questioned in the face: The Red Army had never been to Sijiucheng, so how did the old lady deliver shoes to the Red Army?

And all this is thanks to Lin Baoyan.

Lin Baoyan didn't want to waste too much time in elementary school. In order to skip a grade, she created an image of herself as a diligent and studious person. She would go to He Yushui from time to time to borrow textbooks and ask questions. On weekends, she would go to the library to borrow some books related to modern history, and then discuss them with He Yushui.

What they discussed were all the history of the past few decades, and the aunties and grandmas in the yard felt the same way after listening to them. Sometimes they would ask about something they didn't know. As a result, the glorious history of our army was spread to the aunties and grandmas in the yard, which led to the rumor that we gave shoes to the Red Army.

Without mentioning Yi Zhonghai's shame, anger, and frustration at the time, Lin Baoyan was quite curious as to why the newly moved in Wuzhi had been so well behaved in the past two weeks?

"Bah! If he were honest, there would be no dishonest people in this world!"

He Yushui said angrily.

"What did he do to make you so angry?" Lin Baoyan was curious.

"He is just a, just a," He Yushui was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Lin Baoyan was very excited now. Wu Zhi must have done something terrible to make He Yushui so embarrassed.

After she repeatedly assured him that she would never tell anyone, He Yushui told her half-heartedly that Wu Zhi had taken He Yuzhu to some alleys to broaden their horizons.

Lin Baoyan opened her mouth in surprise.

"But they didn't really do it. Really, my brother said they just went there to see it for themselves. They really didn't do it." He Yushui emphasized, her face red. It was hard for her, a 14-year-old girl, to worry about her brother's affairs. In other words, if it wasn't for Lin Baoyan, she wouldn't have told others about this.

Lin Baoyan believed that the two people did not really do it. If there was no medical space, who would dare to patronize the half-closed door in this era? Aren’t they afraid of various infectious diseases that cannot be cured?

"In the future, you'd better be careful and don't get close to that Wu. It will be bad if people tell others about it. If my brother wasn't always hanging out with him, I would want to stay away from him." He Yushui warned.

"What's wrong? Did anyone in the yard know what they did? And is they talking about you?" Lin Baoyan immediately realized that something was wrong.

"It's all Yi Zhonghai's fault. He told many people that he saw the two of them go to that alley. Now everyone in the yard looks at me strangely." He Yushui wanted to bite him to death. Is there anyone who can harm others like this?

Lin Baoyan was speechless. This Yi Zhonghai was really the one doing bad things everywhere.

However, Wu Zhi's desensitization therapy for Sha Zhu is too radical.
