Chapter 254: The Great Man Dies

Grandma looked at Yoyo's eyes, probably she was a little afraid of Yoyo's ability to foresee, especially the ability to break bad news. In the evening, the two of them were over, and grandma couldn't stop asking: "Yoyo, tell grandma, what else do you know?" ”

Yoyo pressed grandma to the computer, called up the memorabilia of New China, and explained it for grandma to see.

Seeing the information that the "Gang of Four" was smashed on October 6, 76, Grandma still couldn't believe it, "Can this be true?"

Yoyo forced grandma to continue to look down, resumed the college entrance examination in December 77, and held the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee in December 78, reform and opening up, set things right, and China entered a stage of rapid development.

After reading this, Grandma muttered to herself: "If this is all true, we will finally get through." Yoyo, what the hell is this thing you get, you can really know what will happen in the future. And where are all the people in you?"

Such an esoteric question, Yoyo really didn't understand, so he had to helplessly tell his grandmother that he didn't understand either. However, it is certain that he and the future generations will only contact through the e-mall, and there will be no accidents.

After more than a year of observation, grandma was basically relieved, and she didn't go to the bottom of it.

The next day, people consciously put on black veils and wore small white flowers on their chests to express their sorrows. Everyone is working, and there is no longer the noise of the past.

My uncle and grandfather brought their own radio, and everyone listened carefully, sobbing from time to time.

In the days that followed, a heavy atmosphere hung over the village, and many people's eyes were swollen from crying. Everyone mourned the death of the great man in various ways, pasted the portrait of the chairman on the central hall of the farmhouse, and placed offerings and incense.

September 18 is the time for the chairman to hold a memorial service. In the village, a mourning hall was erected on the balcony of the house, and in the center hung a statue of the chairman with a black frame and black veil, surrounded by pine branches and white flowers.

When the flood washed out the cable broadcasting line, my uncle and grandfather took their radio to the mourning hall. In the afternoon, the whole village came to the mourning hall, and the memorial service began at three o'clock.

As the radio came to say, "Bow three times to the remains of the great leader and mentor!", everyone bowed respectfully to the statue of the chairman, and the children of two or three years also bowed to the adults. Many adults couldn't help crying, and the children held on to the adults' clothes tightly, so quiet that no one cried.

Then the majestic Dongfanghong song sounded:

Dongfang Hong,

Sun rises,

China has a Mao Zedong,

He worked for the happiness of the people,

He is the great savior of the people......

This great ode to the great ode of high and passionate soul has stirred the hearts of hundreds of millions of people and inspired them to miss the great leader and mentor who will always be with us.

Finally, the radio came: "We must turn our grief into strength, grasp the revolution and promote production, and carry the great proletarian revolutionary cause to the end." ”

This pointed out the direction for the whole village, and after the memorial service, everyone consciously continued to work until it was dark and could not be seen.

In the days that followed, everyone was highly motivated and always adhered to the principle of turning grief into strength. It seems that only by working more can we express our sorrow for the great man.

On September 23, the autumnal equinox arrived, and it was time to sow wheat. This year's farmland was flooded, and it has been less than two months since the flood receded, leaving behind enough mud to hold people.

You don't need to plough the land, you can sow the seeds directly. This time, except for the vegetable garden, there was no spring land left in the village, and more than 1,000 acres of cultivated land were all planted with wheat.

When the wheat is planted, the dustpan willows are harvested. The wicker on the production embankment is growing well, and in the river beach, the wicker planted last year is also very good, that is, the wicker that was just planted a few days ago, although it is fine, it can also be used, and it is used to weave exquisite handicrafts. Although the process is complex and there is more labor, the price is higher.

In October of the solar calendar, the sows in the team gave birth one after another, and this time it was the second litter, and there were more of them, with a total of 186 piglets.

At ten o'clock in the morning of October 6, the loudspeaker on the embankment sounded again, and everyone stopped what they were doing and listened carefully.

Be happy and smash the "Gang of Four". Grandma and Youyou glanced at each other, nodded tacitly, and Grandma whispered, "It's true." ”

Since then, Grandma has never doubted Yoyo's prophecy, and it can be said that Yoyo is obedient. However, every fifteenth day of the new year, she will steal incense to worship God and bless you with peace and health. She believes in the local tradition that children are too smart to live a long life.

When the chairman died, everyone turned their grief into strength and hurried to work. This time the "Gang of Four" was smashed, and everyone was a little hesitant and a little confused.

People secretly discussed: "This is going to change the dynasty, once the son of heaven and a courtier, it has been turned upside down in less than a month." ”

Uncle and grandfather stopped everyone's discussion in time: "We ordinary people don't care so much, working with peace of mind is the right reason, and earning the money in our own hands is real." ”

After listening to it, everyone felt that Uncle Grandpa's words were reasonable, no matter what happened outside, our people's roots are farming, and only by planting the land can we be full and clothed. Only by earning the money in your hands can everyone live a good life.

Now that there is a way to make money in the village, we have to grasp it, no matter how much the world changes outside, there will be no pie in the sky, so let's work hard.

After harvesting the dustpan willows, everyone then harvested alfalfa grass, and finally cut the "eight arrows" on the embankment. When everything is harvested, we go to sweep the leaves under the embankment.

This year, everyone knows that there is enough forage, but they are still used to sweeping the leaves, and they get up every morning when the weather is unknown and go around Sanhuali Road to the embankment, which is not too hard.

On October 23rd, the first day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, my grandmother took Youyou and went out for two days while she was in a hurry. He picked the winter peaches, winter dates, and pomegranates from the three courtyards.

Winter peaches are extremely sweet, rich in peach aroma, good in taste, and easy to store. Winter jujube is of better quality, crisp and delicious, moderate sweet and sour, that is, for future generations, winter jujube is also more than 100 yuan a catty. These two varieties can be stored at room temperature for two months without any problems.

And I bought a lot of vegetables, this is the last batch of land vegetables this year, grandma bought a lot, go back to the cellar, at least can eat for more than a month. Of course, you have to use the inventory in the space to constantly replenish.

After a busy month, the time is the end of October. The second uncle sent a letter urging grandma to go to the army and serve the second aunt in confinement. On the sixth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the uncle patriotically sent his uncle and grandmother to the army, and when he left, he took winter dates, winter peaches and pomegranates, plus a piece of fifty or sixty catties, and the uncle became a porter. The third aunt had a confinement period, so she had to let her mother-in-law serve her.
