When they got up early, the Yu family and the whole family stared at the breakfast on the table one by one.

"Milk, that's all you eat?"

Yu Yong looked at the vegetable dumplings on the table, as well as the soup that couldn't see the color, swallowed his saliva, and still felt that his throat and eyes were dry: "Can you eat this?"

"Why can't you eat it?"

Shen Linxian picked up the vegetable dumpling and took a bite and swallowed it: "Hurry up and eat, what so much nonsense." ”

Song Xiaoju looked at the food, didn't say anything, and drank the soup.

Brother Bai Zhao didn't take the food, and sat down for a while before saying, "Mother, I, I can't eat, can you get me something else to eat?"

"Okay, you make your own food. Shen Linxian glanced at her: "Why were you so happy when you sent things to your mother's family earlier, I didn't expect that there would be a time when I couldn't eat today, I will share all the food in our family with you, there are no good things left, I will eat these from today onwards, and I am afraid that I will not make dumplings during the New Year." ”

The Yu family only felt that the gap was extraordinarily large.

Yesterday I ate dumpling stew, and today I ate bran vegetables, which is unacceptable for a while.

"That ......" Yu Dagou put the chopsticks on the table: "Mother, we are young and eat these things, you have to eat something good, and the children are growing up......"

Shen Linxian ate the meal without changing his face: "You find a way to get some food, it's easy to say anything, don't be crooked if you don't have food." ”

In a word, no one in the Yu family dared to speak.

The rest of the Yu family had to eat with their heads bored, this thing was eaten in their mouths, but they felt very uncomfortable, thinking about it now that they are still eating this, the key is that I am afraid that the food will not be improved during the New Year, which is unacceptable.

When I was eating, I heard someone shouting at the door: "Auntie, is your aunt at home?"

Shen Linxian hurriedly went out, and saw Wang Zhishu standing at the door with the leaders of the two communes.

"Here, come in. Shen Linxian greeted with a smile and welcomed the three of them into the house.

In the hall, the Yu family was still eating, and when the three of them went in, Shen Linxian asked, "Have you eaten, do you want to eat at home?"

Wang Zhishu looked at the things on the Yu family's dinner table, and only felt that his eyelids were jumping.

When the two commune leaders saw a table of food, they also felt bitter in their mouths.

"No, we've eaten. Wang Zhishu hurriedly waved his hand, for fear that Shen Linxian would pull him to eat.

The two commune leaders nodded busily.

Wang Zhishu introduced with a smile: "These two are Director Wu and Commissioner Qian of the commune. ”

Shen Linxian said with a smile: "Welcome, welcome, the two leaders came to our Ping'an Village early in the morning to guide, they are really good cadres of the people and a model of leading by example......"

These two sentences are really good, and Director Wu and Commissioner Qian are held high, and both of them can't help laughing.

Director Wu coughed: "Recently, a member of the commune came to the commune to report, saying that Comrade Shen was not from a good background, and that you concealed your background, and that you had four old things in the family, and that you were a village tyrant, who usually bullied the villagers, and also acted as a prestige at home. ”

When Shen Linxian heard this, he lowered his head and was silent.

Wang Zhishu was anxious: "Auntie, what's going on, now that the leader is here, you have to talk about it." ”

Shen Linxian was already full of tears when she looked up, she didn't wipe her tears, she just cried: "Leader, you have to make decisions for us, it's not easy for me to raise six children with a lonely old woman, thanks to the new society now, without the cannibalistic set, I can survive, otherwise...... I am most grateful to the leader in my heart, I really don't know where I pierced other people's eyes, so deceitful people. ”

"......"

Yu Xiu put down the vegetable dumplings, walked to Shen Linxian in a few steps, took a dirty handkerchief and wiped her tears: "Milk, don't cry, when you cry, we feel uncomfortable." ”

The leaders of the commune were stunned when they saw this scene.

Shen Linxian pointed to his own dinner table: "The leaders have also seen it, this is our family's food, you see, do the village tyrants eat these?"

The leaders of the commune really can't bear to look directly at the Yu family's food, although everyone's conditions are not good now, and the food is not very good, but there are few people like the Yu family.

Shen Linxian wiped a handful of tears: "I don't have the ability, I lose my children and grandchildren, I don't have the ability to give them good food, I am guilty......"

"It's not. Yu Dagou was anxious, and immediately stood up and walked to the leader: "Director Wu, it's not easy for my mother, it's not easy for my mother to pull the four of our brothers, we are stupid, stupid and incompetent, the family depends on my mother, we can live to this point, we are already very grateful if we don't starve to death a child or grandchild, we really don't blame my mother, blame us for not having the ability." ”

"yes. Wang Zhishu sighed and said to Director Wu: "Comrade Shen is really not easy, she supports so many children and grandchildren, and she doesn't go to famine with the team every year, we all thought that they were living a good life, but I didn't expect it...... It's my responsibility as the secretary of the brigade. ”

Director Wu: ......

After waiting for a while, Director Wu asked again: "What's the matter with that concealing your origin?"

Shen Linxian burst into tears again, the tips of her fingers trembled slightly, and she looked excited.

Her face was full of sadness, and the sorrow in her eyes could overflow: "Leader, I didn't mean it, I just didn't want to mention the previous things, I have been bitter in this life, I was almost soaked in bitter juice earlier, I have to thank the party, the new society, and the leadership, it is the party that makes me a new person and let me live a personal life." ”

Shen Linxian recalled a play he saw when he was a child, that play seemed to be called a white-haired girl or something, anyway, how hard to say, how to make people cry: "The poor background of our eighteenth generation, I don't remember where my hometown is, I remember that I have been fleeing the famine since I can remember, and my life is really unbearable. ”

"Ahh

Yu Xiaohua screamed when she heard it.

Shen Linxian sighed: "In those days, there were many things like people eating people, and I think the leaders also knew about it." ”

Director Wu nodded: "Yes, when escaping from the famine, many families were eaten by Yizi. ”

"It's still the leader who is educated, and I can't say such words. Shen Linxian praised it, and quietly praised Director Wu, which made Director Wu's heart feel much more comfortable.

"Later, my father couldn't bear it, so he sold me and exchanged it for a small bag of millet. Shen Linxian cried again when he said this:" I was too young at that time, I didn't even know who my father and mother were, I only remember to take to several places for traffickers, and then I went to the capital, and was bought by a big family, and I was beaten that up, and my hard days came, and the big family rules were big, we had to learn the rules, and we had to learn how to serve people, and if we didn't pay attention to it, we would let the housekeeper beat me badly, and I still remember that I was punished for kneeling in the snow in the cold winter, and sometimes I knelt in the yard with an oil lamp in the summer, and the oil lamp was full of oil……”

Shen Linxian cried blood word by word, he really said that he was extremely miserable, and most of the Yu family members who listened to it cried, even Director Wu's eyes were red.

"I was forced to do work, if I didn't do a good job, I would be pricked with needles, the needles were pierced in inconspicuous places, it didn't look obvious, but it hurt to pierce my body, and I had to be scolded, there was no dignity at all, I followed the eldest lady, the eldest lady had a bad temper, we were beaten all day long, and became the eldest lady's punching bag, until the end, I was a little better because I was in the eyes, and the eldest lady was going to marry me to a leper in the stable, I had no choice but to run out, and then I met my family, so I came to Ping'an Village, since I called Ping'an Village, I lived like a person, I was not a slave, and a new society was established later, and I also turned from a slave to a master, a leader,It's really not like I deliberately concealed it.,It's just that I didn't dare to say it earlier.,I'm afraid that I'll have to be a slave if I'm found back.,Later, I really don't want to mention it.,It's too bitter.,I feel heartbroken every time I think about it......"

At the end of Shen Linxian's words, almost everyone cried quietly.

Commissioner Qian was a little younger, and couldn't help crying at this time: "It's too bitter, it's too bitter, Comrade Shen is really not easy, this is a typical case of the old society turning people into ghosts, and the new society turning ghosts into people." ”

Director Wu nodded: "Comrade Shen is not to blame for this, but Comrade Shen should not be afraid, we are a new society, there is no longer a set of slaves, we are all masters, and we can all stand up and be people." ”
