Chapter 55: The Old Turtle

In the mid-50s, the victory of socialist transformation liberated the shackled social productive forces and promoted the development of the social productive forces; along with the changes in the social and economic structure, the class relations in Chinese society also underwent fundamental changes, and the broad masses of working people got rid of the situation of exploitation and became the masters of the country's means of production, realizing the real masters of the country.

The tail of the land reform ended when my grandfather was criticized every day! My grandfather and my third grandfather both returned home! After the land reform, the peasants were allocated land, and agricultural production was greatly restored and developed. A cooperative has been set up in the village! The cultivated land is managed by each family in a scattered manner. The first five-year plan of our country has begun!

After the land reform, my grandfather and my grandfather for three years were sent home to be renovated! At the same time, the village re-distributed more than a dozen acres of land to my grandfather and my third grandfather! Grandpa was busy with crops in the fields every day! Although he was now fatherless and motherless, his grandfather had a lot of medical skills! Gradually, no one in the village was embarrassed about his grandfather anymore!

In the rural areas, it is very rare for a 25-year-old to be a single! Because my grandfather had been participating in the prevention and treatment work of the blood bank a few years ago, his personal marital problems had never been resolved! The year before he was criticized as a landlord, no girl was willing to follow his grandfather! Some children in the village kept calling his grandfather an old bachelor!

One day, my grandfather was resting on the ground with a dry cigarette in his mouth! The captain of the production team in the village came to the field of his grandfather's house in a hurry, and when he saw his grandfather who was smoking dry tobacco, he beckoned him to come to his grandfather's side!

The eighth boss of the Lu family! You don't want the boss anymore, do you want a wife!

Third Uncle Lu! Will there be a girl like me who will follow me?

"You are also a big boss, there is a widow Zhang in the next village, she is very good, her husband died last year, or I will tell you about the matchmaker!"

"Then thank you Uncle San!"

"Wait for my good news!"

Soon the production captain brought Widow Zhang from the next village to her grandfather's house, and the grandfather himself cleaned himself up!

The woman who came was wearing a big red scarf on her head, of medium height, twenty-one or twelve years old, and holding a one-year-old child in her arms!

Grandpa looked the woman in front of him up and down, and his mouth couldn't close with joy! He immediately agreed to the marriage, and the woman stayed at Grandpa's house with the child that night!

Soon, the third aunt in the back gathered some sugar, water, wine, and a new quilt, and the grandfather married the widow in the next village! Some people in the village sent a bowl of millet as a gift! Among them, the production captain pulled the grandfather aside and gave the grandfather 5 yuan, saying that it meant that the whole village was young, and gave the grandfather as a wedding gift!

In this way, grandpa and grandma lived a good life!

At that time, the whole country was implementing large-scale population production, and grandma was indeed very fertile after marrying grandpa, and she already had an aunt before, and then gave birth to an uncle, a second uncle, a mother, a third uncle, a fourth uncle, a younger aunt and a fifth uncle!

After a few years, my grandfather's family became a big family with many families! At that time, every family was like this! There were many children in the family!

In the 60s, my mother and uncle were born at a time when the country was in a difficult period of famine, and the people of the whole country were tightening their belts to get by! Grandpa had to take care of his old business again because he had to feed the population of the family, and he had to take care of people's illnesses! Every day, he went out early and returned late to help people see a doctor and earn money! The money he earned every day was barely enough for the whole family to eat one meal! Every day the whole family was at night, and when my grandfather came back from his medical practice, he brought some rations, and the whole family stewed in a big pot and drank some rice cereal!

At that time, rural life was very casual, there were no requirements, simple and convenient, to the New Year's Festival members or their own pigs killed everyone to divide a few catties, or the production team slaughtered a collective pig or cattle, and then cut by catty, and so on for the New Year to have meat to eat, the distribution of pigs and beef is a rural people already feel very happy.

One day, after my grandfather was practicing medicine, it was already dark. Today, my grandfather has not harvested any grains, and my grandfather has not eaten for a day, and he is rushing home from the village next door! Walking in the middle of the road, I saw a loess mound the size of a yellow basin!

Because it was dark, Grandpa didn't care, and accidentally tripped over this small mound!

Grandpa thought he was dazzled, so he slowly walked over to see what was going on!

Suddenly, this earthy yellow mound felt that there was danger approaching, and immediately crawled towards the forest next to it, and Grandpa saw clearly what this mound was, it turned out to be a big turtle!

Grandpa immediately ran over and lay on top of the old turtle and subdued the land old turtle!

Grandpa's family was a little dizzy from hunger! He said, "Old fellow, this may be your fate!" Today you met me, in order to save the whole family, I had to take you back! The family has been out of food for several days, and there is no more stuttering, and my babies will starve to death!"

Maybe the old turtle has learned about human nature, and when Grandpa heard what Grandpa said, he suddenly became quiet! Grandpa found a few rattans, tied them to the shell of the old turtle, and dragged the old turtle home!

After Grandpa and Grandma stewed the old turtle, they made two pots of meat! Grandpa told Grandma that she must not leak the slightest rumor! Otherwise, the meat would not be saved, and she would be charged with embezzling collective property!

During that time, every day my grandmother took out a little bit of meat, minced it and mixed it into rice cereal, and quietly added food to her family! During that time, my mother and her brothers and sisters gradually survived! At that time, many children in the village starved to death because they did not have a bite to eat! My mother and uncle were struggling to survive in those days!

Maybe it was fate, and soon in the 70s, life in the village was getting better day by day, but Grandpa's family was still poor! Grandpa was a man, but none of the uncles inherited Grandpa's mantle. The eldest uncle is a little wooden by nature, and he is not suitable for medical skills, and the second uncle is also not interested in medical skills, and the third and fourth uncles can't run home every day, and fights with the gangsters in the village all day long!

Many of my grandfather's medical books were used up by my uncles as paper every day! Only the last one of my grandfather's grandfather's old medical books was wrapped in sheepskin and preserved! It wasn't until after my grandfather's death that I stumbled upon them among my grandfather's relics, and when my third uncle was about to put my grandfather's book in the coffin, I stopped it!

With the death of my grandfather, everything was sealed in the cold coffin! Only this ancient medical book passed down by my grandfather was left! And this medical book was also put away by me as a treasure. And the traditional Chinese medicine skills of the grandfather Lu family have been completely lost to grandpa's generation!
