It's already February, there is no spring breeze like scissors, only a compelling chill.

The cowshed was drafty and smelly, and there were no beds or quilts to sleep on.

Zou Chengyan could only lay out as much thatch as possible for his grandfather to lie on. The two of them didn't even have food, but no hot water for their mouths.

He fetched water from the river, found an earthen pot and boiled it secretly, because the two of them were not worthy of hot water.

"Cheng Yan, don't be too busy, I drink raw water the same way. When I was in war, I was so thirsty that I would eat snow to quench my thirst. There is no reason to pay attention to these things when I am in trouble."

"Grandpa, that big brother told me to drink more hot water to get better quickly. You lie down and the water will be boiled soon."

"That's a good man." Zou Fengnian began to sigh with emotion. Only when he was in trouble did he realize how precious the kindness of others is. "Whether I can go back or not, you must repay this young man for grandpa."

"Grandpa, what are you talking about? We will go back to the city together, and then you will repay big brother yourself."

"That's right, you survived the Long March back then, how can you survive this minor illness?" Zou Fengnian knew in his heart that this was different. He was young and strong at that time, and he had a strong desire for the victory of the revolution in his heart. Old and weak, he became a burden to his grandson.He glanced at Zou Chengyan, and sighed speechlessly, he was sorry for his family and this child!

Zou's house has been ransacked by gangsters, nominally ransacked house, but in fact gangsters, what was useful was taken away, and what was useless was smashed.

The house is gone, as long as the people are still there, the home is there, but the family doesn't know when they will be reunited...

Unlike other young people who voluntarily responded to the call, Chu Sha was forced to jump in line.

Due to his poor status, most of the educated youths were reluctant to approach him, and avoided him when they saw him, for fear of being troubled by him.

squeak-

The door opened.

Chu Sha walked in with a musty quilt in his arms, and the educated youths who were chatting just now went into their respective quilts immediately.

The weather has been a bit cloudy recently, so it's hard to dry the quilt.

A tall and strong young man walked in after washing, he deliberately bumped Chu Sha, and then lay down on the bed.

He sleeps alone for two people, leaving only a corner position for Chu Sha.

Chu Sha lay down in obscurity, covered the quilt and fell asleep.

It's just that this place is facing the door, and the wind is blowing at night, which woke him up several times.

During the day, the educated youths go out to work hard. Compared with the villagers, they are naturally "pampered" and not good at serving the crops.

However, they have a passion for returning to the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

Chu Sha steadily carried the heavy burden, with stinky slop buckets at both ends. He knew he was being embarrassed, and they gave him the hardest, most tiring, and dirtiest work.

But there is no way, the black 'five categories of disciples just want to be well educated by the poor and lower-middle peasants.

People in the village said behind his back that he was a son of the bourgeoisie, that he was not humble, could not work, and had no affection for the poor peasants.

Captain Ge Yan is holding a whip. This is not an ordinary whip. It is a whip that can drive away unhealthy tendencies. She wants to cut off the capitalist tail of Chu Sha, a bad guy!

Snapped--

"Why are you so slow? Why can't you do what the poor and lower-middle peasants can do?"

Chu Sha didn't refute, picked up the burden again, and walked in the mud step by step.

He picked it like this all day long, leaving deep red marks on his shoulders that he couldn't touch, and he couldn't lift his arms anymore.

Back in the earthen house at night, Chu Sha didn't even think about washing up, and lay down on the bed without thinking about anything.

A stone hit the window, and a small sound came.

"Big brother."

Chu Sha glanced around, the moonlight came in, he put on his clothes, got out of bed and went to the yard.

Zou Chengyan, who was squatting in the corner, dared to come out when no one else came out. He was also afraid that others would see him meeting Chu Sha. If he hurt his elder brother, he would regret it too late.

"Why are you here?" Chu Sha was also looking around. The identities of the two of them, let alone have any relationship, even if they said a word, they would be misinterpreted by others as a "criminal gang" that wanted to destroy the peace of socialism.

Those people criticize Zou Fengnian once a week, and don't let him live in peace, and usually ignore him, letting him and Zou Chengyan fend for themselves.

Zou Chengyan sneaked to the mountains during the day, and he didn't know what to eat and what not to eat, so he picked some wild mugwort and shepherd's purse and cooked them for his grandfather.

At this time, food was in short supply, and wild vegetables were dug up by the villagers themselves as soon as they appeared.

In order to find some edible wild vegetables, he walked for a long time, and even went into the deep mountains, where he fell down and was injured.

"Big Brother, I'll give you this. I know it's not a good thing. I even picked up firewood for you...Can you go and see my grandpa?"

Chu Sha looked at the cleaned wild vegetables stuffed into his arms by Zou Chengyan, and then at the firewood Zou Chengyan was pointing at. He hid the firewood and wild vegetables somewhere, and turned to look at Zou Chengyan with a reserved expression.

"Let's go."

"Thank you, thank you so much."

For self-defense, Chu Sha carried a needle bag with him, and he ran away after thinking about it a few times, fearing that he would hurt his mother.

He asked Sister Yin to follow his mother to take care of him, and he came to jump in line alone.

Zou Chengyan led the way. He stopped as soon as he reached the cowshed, and pointed to the corner a little uneasy. He was afraid that Chu Sha would think it was dirty and smelly.

"Big brother, wait here for a while, I'll help grandpa out."

"No, it's not that particular." Chu Sha lowered his head when he entered the cowshed, which affected the scar on his shoulder. He took a breath and immediately explained to Zou Chengyan, "I was injured by a burden on my shoulder. ,No other meaning."

"Big brother, do you know any herbs that can heal wounds? Tell me what it looks like, and I'll pick them during the day." Zou Chengyan is not someone who accepts help from others with peace of mind, and he also wants to repay the other party's kindness as much as possible.

Chu Sha half-kneeled on the ground to feel Zou Fengnian's pulse. He touched the other person's head. This kind of bad environment is not suitable for recuperation. In addition, Zou Fengnian is getting old, and this disease is also caused by torture.

"It's better than last time. I'll give it another injection. If you still feel uncomfortable in the future, you can go to me at night and don't disturb others."

The firewood ordered by the educated youth was wet, and the female educated youth who was in charge of cooking for everyone did not burn any firewood for a long time.

Chu Sha brought a bundle of firewood, "Use this."

Liu Xiaoli didn't dare to pick it up. The educated youths here didn't dare to deal with this bad person in front of her. Naturally, she was also worried that the other person would bring her back to the city.

"The food here is moldy."

"Oh, how can you eat this?"

"Let's go to my hometown."

Every time the food ordered by the educated youth became moldy or the firewood was wet, the team would send the educated youth to board with the villagers.

However, Chu Sha's identity is sensitive, and no villager is willing to accept such a person to live in their home.

So he stayed alone in the educated youth camp, eating moldy food, drinking the water he carried, and using the firewood sent by Zou Fengda.

"You want to teach me to read?"

"Well, you were supposed to be in school." Chu Sha took out a self-made textbook from the drawer, which was a middle school Chinese textbook he wrote silently. Fortunately, the educated youth lacked everything, except paper and pen.

"Thank you." Zou Chengyan ignored the politeness and eagerly took the book by hand. He immediately opened the textbook and looked at the square words on it. He was silent for a long time before he said, "I don't know how to thank you." .”

Zou Chengyan was forced to drop out of school when he was 11 years old because of unnecessary crimes, and he didn't even have time to go to junior high school.

"I'm idle, and I'm idle." Chu Sha was either being criticized by the team or working every day. Although it was bitter and tiring, life was very boring, and it was indeed "idle".

In this era, many people are "idling". They obviously have a greater role, but they can only be locked in the cowshed, unable to do anything.

Zhao Yanfen was wearing a flat-topped black woolen hat. She had her hair well gathered up and then combed into a spherical net. She was wearing a black coarse cloth coat and trousers that ordinary old ladies would wear. The trouser legs were tied and her feet were still small. She was hunched over. body, limping and struggling to walk on the dirt road.

"Grandma Niu, what have you been doing?"

"It's time to see my daughter." Zhao Yanfen protected the egg in her heart, which she just got to make up for her daughter-in-law.

"Mother, what door are you closing in broad daylight?" Niu Erdan put down the firewood, scratched his bald head, and looked at his old mother in confusion, "What are you doing so mysteriously?"

"Your daughter-in-law's belly button is bulging. She must be pregnant with a baby. Mother is very happy, but your daughter-in-law is weak, so mother went to buy something good to mend her."

"What good thing?" Niu Erdan watched his mother take out an egg from her bosom, his eyes widened in fright, and he hurriedly checked to see if there was anyone outside the door, he smiled and looked at the egg, " It’s so good, I cooked it for my daughter-in-law.”

"Add some water to make egg drop soup, and some brown sugar, it will replenish your body."

Before the Niu's daughter-in-law could drink brown sugar and egg soup, the door of their house was kicked open by Ge Yan.

"I heard people report that there is hedonism here, and the tail of capitalism has been brought in, say! Who of you is a monster?!" Ge Yan saw the egg drop soup at a glance, and immediately shouted, rushing forward to grab the egg drop soup. Holding Niu's daughter-in-law's hair, she began to scold, "I'm going to take you to fight!"

"You let my wife go! Please, she's still pregnant!"

"You asked me to spare your daughter-in-law? Spare the bad elements who want to destroy the atmosphere? How can socialism do it? It is because of her that capitalism came to destroy our country!" Ge Yan still grabbed Niu's daughter-in-law's hair, raised eyebrows Looking at the other gangsters, "Where are the five black children and Zou Fengnian who defected to the enemy and treason?"

"Still waiting for us on stage."

"Bring them together to critique!"

"Niu's daughter-in-law steals eggs behind her back!"

"Stealing eggs is a monster!"

"Ghosts and ghosts are counter-revolutionaries!"

"Eliminate ghosts and monsters!"

"Down with all counter-revolutionaries!"

The daughter-in-law of the Niu family was frightened by Ge Yan and others. Some people came forward to punch and kick her, and she was knocked down to the ground, screaming out loud.

"The amniotic fluid broke!"
