The reborn little painting treasure had a great time in the 1960s

In the car, Tang Hua would either sleep or play with his grandfather's beard and make babbling sounds.

She liked this old man very much. He was smart and wise, as if he could see through you at a glance, and he was also very skilled. When she was bored, she would look at the picturesque scenery outside the car window. Tang Hua was filled with emotion.

Along the way, she saw vast fields, lush forests, sparkling rivers and majestic mountains.

These natural landscapes were like colorful paintings, slowly unfolding before her eyes.

As the truck moved forward and got closer to its destination, her excitement grew.

Because she knows that what awaits her ahead is a life full of unknowns and challenges, but also contains infinite possibilities.

The expectation for the future is like the bright sunshine outside the car window, illuminating her way forward.

The man in the driver's seat was named Gu Jianan, who was the child of my great-grandfather's sister. He was now 25 years old and in the prime of his life. He had two sons, the eldest was five years old, and the youngest was just three years old. During the whole journey, he always looked at Tang Hua with a loving and doting look, and told her that there would be many brothers and sisters to play with her when she returned home.

At the same time, she was comforted to be obedient and grow up healthily, and that even in a rural environment, there would still be many people protecting her.

Hearing these warm words, Tang Hua felt warm in her heart. Although she didn't know what happened to Gu's family, she had already made up her mind to protect him just based on what this uncle said.

Finally, two days later, the truck finally arrived at the Hongqi Brigade under Hongzhuang Commune.

It was evening time now. Every household in the village had finished their meal and were ready to go to bed. In those days, there were no lights. In order to save candles, every household finished their dinner and went to bed before dark. The car stopped at the door of a red brick house. Tang Hua was carried out of the car by Gu Zhonghua. She looked around curiously, but could not see anything. It was pitch black!!

Gu Zhonghua smiled, touched her head and said, "My dear, this will be your home from now on."

Tang paintings...are so dark, which means you can't see anything.

Gu Zhonghua turned to Gu Jianan who had just come down from the cab and said, "Anzi, move the food into the house first while no one is around. Otherwise, it will be bad if people come out and see it."

"Okay, uncle, you must protect the food supply of your little baby." Gu Jianan showed his big white teeth.

Sure enough, as soon as the food was moved into the house, the neighbors came out and saw that it was Gu Jianan.

"Jian'an, you're back from work. Why did you drive directly to your uncle's house this time?"

"Yes, Aunt Zhang, my uncle heard that something happened in his comrade's family and there was no one to take care of his newborn baby, so he went to pick the baby up. It was too late and the road was difficult to travel. I happened to be coming back from work and saw them walking on the road, so I borrowed my car to take the baby back. I ask everyone to take good care of the baby in the future." Gu Jianan said.

At this time, Gu Zhonghua's sister and her whole family also ran out. When Mrs. Gu saw that it was her eldest brother and her youngest son, she felt relieved. It would be a week since her eldest brother had been away, and he was old and still traveling all the way. How could she not be worried?

Mrs. Gu stepped forward and said, "Hey, big brother, you're back? Is everything going well? Are you tired? Anzi, have you taken down all the things of your uncle and niece?"

Gu Jianan saw his mother and said, "Mom, I'm back. Everything went well. I haven't arrived yet. Big brother, come and help me get my niece's things."

"Okay!" Then, several people took down several packages and a large bag of grain from the car, which was deliberately left behind to confuse the villagers.

The bag looked heavy, probably weighing about 100 pounds. Just like that, they walked into the house in full view of everyone.

Gu Zhonghua looked at the people gathered at the door and said, "Everyone, go home and have a rest. Sister, we haven't had dinner yet. You cook something and I'll come over with Guaibao's bottle and milk powder."

"Okay," Old Lady Gu hurried home with her short legs to prepare dinner. The villagers dispersed after hearing her words.

Gu Zhonghua held his little baby in his arms, brought her milk powder and a bottle, and told his brothers Gu Jianan, "Jianguo, you take a bag of rice, Jianmin, you take a bag of flour, and Jianan, you take a bag of millet. We'll go have dinner first, and I'll sort out the rest after I come back to sleep."

Gu Zhonghua carried Tang Hua into his sister's room and put her on the kang.

Tang Hua looked around curiously. The furnishings in the room were simple, but exuded a rustic atmosphere.

Mrs. Gu came in with food and said, "Brother, please sit down and eat." Then she looked at the doll on the kang, walked over, picked it up and said, "Oh, this doll is a lucky doll, so white, tender, delicate and cute."

"Well, this is her bottle, and this is the milk powder. Make a bottle of milk for me. I'm hungry."

Gu Zhonghua carried Tang Hua over and sat down. Tang Hua looked at the food on the table. Although it was simple, it exuded bursts of fragrance.

After dinner, Mrs. Gu called all the family members over. There were people in the room. Tang Hua sat in Gu Zhonghua's arms, drinking milk from the bottle and watching them.

Everyone in the village of Hongqi Brigade has the surname Gu. When Gu Zhonghua went to the war, he left his sister Gu Qianrou in the village. After he came back, she married and had children with villagers. The old lady Gu is called Gu Qianrou and her husband is called Gu Weiqi. They were in love and got married and had children. They had three children. The eldest, Gu Jianguo, married Liu Chunxing from the next brigade and gave birth to three sons and one daughter, Biewei (Gu Dong is 13 years old, Gu Xi is 12 years old, Gu Nan is 9 years old, Gu Lin is 7 years old). The second, Gu Jianmin, married Zhang Hongmei and gave birth to a son and a daughter (Gu Bei is 10 years old, Gu Pan is 6 years old). The third, Gu Jianan, married Chen Li and gave birth to two sons, "Gu Ping is 5 years old, Gu Chuan is 3 years old". There are 60 people in the whole family. It is now , and everyone's age does not match their actual age. They are pale and thin due to the famine.

The current captain of the Red Flag Brigade is Mrs. Gu’s husband, Gu Weiqi. The eldest son and the second son earn work points at home to support the family, and the third son drives a car for the transport team.

Aunt Gu said to them, "Your uncle's (grandfather's) family has a (niece) sister. You have to help take care of her in the future. Don't let outsiders bully her. Do you understand?"

"I know."

Gu Weiqi looked at the fat baby in his brother-in-law's arms and said, "Brother, we will take care of this child. We will let the child carry these grains back later. We can't snatch the grains from the baby's mouth."

Gu Zhonghua looked at Tang Hua in his arms, then looked at the group of little rascals standing on the ground.

He sighed deeply and said earnestly: "Put these away and give them to them to replenish their bodies. We don't know when this famine will end. Too many people have starved to death. Even if you don't consider yourselves, you have to think about these little rascals! Besides, these grains were specially sent by the child's grandparents. This child will have to stay in the village for at least ten years, and you will need to take care of him more on weekdays. By the way, this child will be called Gu Tanghua from now on."

Tang Hua sat quietly by the side and listened, thinking to herself: This old lady Gu gives people a kind and friendly impression! And judging from the attitude of her family towards her, it seems that there is no dissatisfaction. This is very good! Thinking that maybe I can get to know this family more in the future and take care of each other... Tang Hua couldn't help but smile slightly, feeling happy, dancing and babbling to show that she was in a good mood.

Mrs. Gu waved her hands and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? This child is so cute, we love her so much! Don't worry, we are here, as long as she is in the village, we will never let her suffer any grievances."

After the adults finished their chat, a few little kids immediately ran to their uncle and surrounded the baby in his arms.

"Is this the new girl?" "So cute!" the children said in unison.

Tang Hua responded to the children's love for her with a toothless smile.

The next day, Gu Zhonghua went to the commune for something. Tang Hua was held by her aunt early in the morning. After she finished drinking milk and changed her diaper, she was taken to the big tree at the entrance of the village to chat. There were a few little kids around her.

The older ones all went to school, and her son and daughter-in-law went to work. Every morning after she finished her housework, she would take the younger ones for a walk, then go back to make lunch. In the afternoon, she would get up and take care of the children while busying herself in the family's private plot.

In the morning, her eldest brother said he was going to the commune to take care of some things, so she took care of the child.

As soon as she arrived under the big tree at the entrance of the village, several old women who were also chatting at the entrance saw her and greeted her hurriedly.

"Mrs. Gu, are you holding the child your eldest brother brought back last night?"

"Yes." Mrs. Gu replied with a smile, "This child is very well behaved. He doesn't cry or make a fuss."

One of the women came forward and looked at the Tang painting carefully. "This child is really good-looking. She will definitely be a great beauty in the future."

Another woman also agreed, "That's right, it's obvious that this child is blessed."

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu was very happy. "That's right. This child is the granddaughter of my eldest brother's comrade-in-arms. His comrade-in-arms' family is in trouble and he is left with this child who can't be taken care of. We must take good care of her."

As they were talking, Gu Jianmin passed by the village entrance carrying a hoe and saw his youngest son and his mother under a tree, so he walked over and said, "Mom, you are here."

"Second brother, are you off work?" asked Mrs. Gu.

"Well, today's work is done." The middle-aged man walked to Mrs. Gu and looked at the Tang painting in her arms. "This niece is so beautiful."

"Yes, that's right," Mrs. Gu replied with a smile.

Gu Jianmin couldn't help but stretched out his finger and poked Tang Hua's little face, which made Tang Hua giggle due to the itchiness.

"How cute." Gu Jianmin said with a smile, then turned to his youngest son and two nephews and shouted, "Sixth Treasure, Seventh Treasure, Eighth Treasure are home!"

Liu Bao looked around and saw his father, so he ran over and asked, "Dad, you've finished work, and it's still early, can you take me to the river to catch fish?"

Gu Jianmin looked at the sky and it was indeed still early. "Come on, Dad will take you to play by the river." So the three little kids followed him.

Tang Hua looked at the figure walking away and glared at her legs. She wanted to go too, what should she do? But what should she do if she couldn't speak?

Old lady Gu looked at her and laughed a few times, "Huabao, you are still young and can't go to the river. When you grow up, I will ask your second uncle to take you to play."

Then he held her and sat there chatting gossip with a few old ladies.

After saying that, Mrs. Gu looked at the sky and said to the other old ladies, "It's getting late. I have to go back to make milk for the child and cook. You all should stop chatting for too long and go home early."

She didn't know what time Grandpa Gu came back. The afternoon sun was gradually setting. Anyway, when she woke up from her nap, she turned around and caught a glimpse of him lying quietly on the other side of the kang.

It seemed as if he had come from a distant time, feeling tired and sleepy.

He closed his eyes tightly, as if he was sleeping, but it was also like he was just taking a nap to relax his mind; his breathing was steady and deep, which reminded people of the old monk in the ancient temple in the mountains who was in meditation.

The whole room was filled with a sense of tranquility and peace, with only the occasional chirping of birds outside the window breaking the silence.

She was hungry, so she babbled and waved her little hands.

Gu Zhonghua opened his eyes when he heard her voice. The old man and the child stared at each other. Finally, Gu Zhonghua stood up and said, "Huabao, you are hungry. Grandpa will get up and make some milk for you."

Gu Zhonghua skillfully prepared the milk powder, tested the temperature, and then brought the pacifier to Tang Hua's mouth.

Tang Hua couldn't wait to put the pacifier in her mouth and suck it hard.

Looking at her satisfied expression, Gu Zhonghua showed a kind smile on his face.

After drinking, Tang Hua became lively. She used her hands and feet and turned over in an instant. Wow, she could turn over in less than two months. She is really a genius.

Gu Zhonghua sat next to her, looking at her lovely appearance, his heart filled with love.

At this time, grabbed his fingers.

Gu Zhonghua gently held her little hand, making her giggle.

Gu Zhonghua looked at her innocent look and said, "Grandpa went to the commune this morning to transfer your household registration. Your name is Gu Tanghua and you are my adopted granddaughter. I also wrote a letter to your grandfather. I wanted to send a telegram, but I think it's not safe. By the way, your grandfather said you can handle the grain. Grandpa will take you to the cellar later and you can handle it. Although the village is safe, I'm afraid someone will come to check."

Just like this, one was muttering to himself and the other was babbling.

Outside the window, the sun shines through the gaps between the leaves onto the ground, creating patches of light and shadow. Inside the house, an old man and a child are enjoying this warm moment, as if time has stopped.
