Volume III Chapter 5

One day, Yulan had just finished performing the model play "Red Lantern" and was removing her makeup backstage, when a leader of the propaganda team came to inform her, saying that the county leaders had something to talk to her.

Yulan wanted to go to Bai Li first, and asked someone to say that Bai Li had something to do, and then the county leaders saw Yulan and called her into the office, Yulan entered the office and sat down, the leader casually asked her about her situation, and then talked to her about her parents in a serious manner, and asked her to persuade her mother to close the capitalist cloth shop, and her father wrote a review and repentance of doing things in the Kuomintang organization, and the family completely broke the four olds.

The more Yulan listened, the more nervous she became, she didn't know how she walked out of the door, she just felt dizzy, the afternoon sun shone on her body, piercing her eyes and making it difficult to open them, Yulan's eyes were dull and walked all the way forward, and the smiling faces of her parents and Chen Gang flashed in her mind from time to time, and after a while, it became Chen Gang's accusation against her, and for a while her parents ignored herself, leaving her aside, she was isolated, thinking about walking, Yulan's eyes couldn't help but shed tears, The family she was once proud of has now become a difficult hurdle in front of her, and how to overcome it is related to her future growth and development.

Yulan returned home in a trance, just lay down on the bed, suddenly a wave of nausea made her sit up, covered her mouth and quickly got out of bed and ran outside to the bathroom and vomited vigorously, the whole breath was panting and uncomfortable, at this time Chen Gang opened the door and came in, saw Yulan like this, he was frightened for a while, and hurriedly came over to help her and walked towards the house.

Chen Gang helped Yulan to lie on the bed and asked with concern if she was sick. Yulan smiled helplessly, took Chen Gang's hand and put it on his stomach, Chen Gang wondered, thinking that Yulan had a stomachache, Yulan couldn't help but poke Chen Gang, Chen Gang immediately reacted, looked surprised, bent down, put his face on Yulan's stomach and listened carefully.

"What are you doing here? It's still early, and the child's heartbeat can be heard somewhere. Magnolia said.

"I didn't think I was going to be a father. Magnolia, what do you want to eat, tell me, I'll do it. Chen Gang raised his head and said.

"I don't want to eat anything, I just want to lie down and rest." Magnolia said.

"That's not good, you sleep first, and I'll make you something to eat right away." Chen Gang stood up happily, pulled the quilt over Yulan, and then went outside to cook.

Yulan watched Chen Gang go out, thinking that she couldn't affect Chen Gang because of her parents' affairs, this was her idea at the moment, of course, she couldn't let her parents be criticized and humiliated, so she could only rely on herself to convince her parents, especially now that she was pregnant again, so no matter what, the most important thing is that the family is safe.

Yulan didn't know how long she had been asleep in a daze, and when she woke up, she opened her eyes and saw Chen Gang sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her gently, and when she woke up, she asked softly if she was hungry? Yulan smiled, sat up to go to the toilet, Chen Gang hurriedly squatted down to put on her shoes, helped her out of bed, Yulan just stood still, suddenly only felt dizzy, almost fell, Chen Gang was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged her, and called "Yulan, Yulan", Yulan opened her eyes again, felt weak, so she had to be helped by Chen Gang to go to the toilet, and when she arrived at the door of the toilet, a female comrade came out of it, seeing them like this, she took the initiative to come over and help Chen Gang help Yulan into the toilet, Chen Gang stood outside and waited, until the female comrade helped Yulan out, Chen Gang took Yulan, thanked the female comrade, and helped Yulan to turn around and go back to the house.

Chen Gang helped Yulan back to bed, took the pillow and leaned on her, then brought a bowl of steamed eggs, soaked some rice and mixed it, and fed her with a spoon.

"It's all my fault, I'm busy during this time, I can't take care of you, from today on, I'll take care of all the things at home, so you can lie down and rest with peace of mind." Chen Gang said.

"It's okay, it's normal to have a big reaction when you're pregnant, and it's fine after this time." Magnolia said as she ate.

"You have to be careful when you go to rehearse the show, and if you feel tired, just tell them, don't hold on." Chen Gang said.

Yulan nodded, looking at Chen Gang's caring eyes, Yulan felt warm in her heart, and tears couldn't help but flow.

"Magnolia, what's wrong with you?" Chen Gang asked in horror.

"It's okay, I feel bad." Magnolia whispered, turning away.

"What happened to you? Tell me, don't worry me. Chen Gang said anxiously.

"Chen Gang, let me tell you, will you dislike me?" Yulan turned to look at Chen Gang and said.

"Look at what you say, we are husband and wife, what do you dislike or not. Yulan, you have to tell me anything you encounter, even if you don't think about me, you have to think about the child in your belly, don't have something to do alone in your heart, say it, let's find a way to solve it together. Chen Gang said sincerely.

"Chen Gang, I'm ......" Yulan threw herself into Chen Gang's arms and cried whining, Chen Gang put the bowl on the table in a panic, hugged Yulan with both hands, and gently patted Yulan's shoulder, Yulan told Chen Gang about the afternoon while crying.

After hearing this, Chen Gang comforted Yulan and said that he believed that Yulan's father was definitely not an enemy spy, and that her mother also made money with her own hands, and she was not a capitalist. Chen Gang wiped away her tears with her hands, and asked her if she had eaten enough, Yulan said that she was full, Chen Gang got out of bed and poured her a glass of water, Yulan took it and drank it, Chen Gang put the cup on the table for her, and then put away the dishes and chopsticks and took them out to wash.

A few days later, Yulan had something to do and went back to the department store, just walked into the unit, and felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, only to see that everyone was consciously avoiding her, and did not understand why, so they walked towards the office of the department store, and when they arrived at the door, they saw Bai Li talking to several people in the office, and stopped immediately when they saw Yulan coming.

"Yulan, you're here, I heard that I want you to persuade your parents, have you gone to talk?" Bai Li pretended to greet affectionately.

"I've been feeling unwell for the past few days, and I haven't been there yet." Magnolia said.

"Yulan, this is your fault, your parents are at fault, you can't be a daughter." Bai Li said.

"Yes, yes, if your parents don't repent again, the consequences will be difficult to say." Said the man in the office.

"Bai Li, I heard that you were officially transferred to the county." Magnolia asked.

"Yes, but the department store also needs me, no, I was appointed by the leader to guide the work of the department store." Bai Li said proudly.

When Yulan heard Bai Li say this, she pulled Bai Li to the other side and whispered that she hoped she could help talk in the county. After Bai Li heard this, she knew that the content of those conversations had been expected by herself, and now that she saw Yulan taking the initiative to beg her so much, she felt indescribable joy in her heart, so she pretended to be surprised and said:

"It's such a big thing, it's not easy to do, you have to think clearly, don't fight at this time."

"I know, let me do the ideological work of being the second elder again." Magnolia said.

"Then you have to hurry, otherwise everyone will have an opinion on you, whoever has this kind of thing now, others are afraid to avoid it, and this will also have an impact on your future." Bai Li continued.

Yulan originally wanted to tell Bai Li that she was pregnant, but seeing that Bai Li seemed to want to avoid herself, she looked towards the office from time to time, and ignored what she said, so she stopped knowingly, Bai Li took the opportunity to say that she still had something to do, and quickly left Yulan, Yulan looked at Bai Li in a daze, and her heart was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, which was very unpleasant, so she walked away silently.

After Yulan finished doing something, she walked out of the office building of the department store, stood in the courtyard and thought about it, and then walked towards home.

Hong Shun was sitting in the living room reading a book, while Lingzhi was sitting next to him sewing clothes, and when they saw Yulan come in, they both raised their heads.

"What's wrong with you? The face is so ugly. Lingzhi asked.

"I've been vomiting so much these days that I can't eat." Magnolia replied.

"Are you happy, sit down, if you can't eat, you have to force yourself to eat, I'll go cook you a bowl of egg noodles." Lingzhi said as he put down his clothes and walked towards the kitchen.

"Dad, aren't you going to work today?" Magnolia asked.

"Alas, I have nothing to do when I go." Hong Shun said.

"Dad, we can't be negatives." Magnolia said.

"I wanted to participate, but people didn't want me, they had to write a review of my repentance, but I didn't do anything bad," Hong Shun complained.

"Since you haven't done anything bad, just write it down clearly, it's always good to explain it to the organization as soon as possible, and the family won't be affected." Magnolia said.

"What? You say I've hurt you? Hong Shun stood up angrily.

"Dad, you are angry, I believe in you, wouldn't it be better if you had written it clearly earlier and handed it in." Magnolia said.

"I just don't write and see what they can do to me? I see that you are the same as your classmate Bai Li, I used to treat her as my own family, but after turning around, I began to disown people. ”

Yulan didn't know what to say for a while, Lingzhi walked in with boiled egg noodles and put it on the table and asked Yulan to eat, Yulan picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, and said to Lingzhi:

"Mom, haven't you been opening a cloth shop these days?"

"There is a lot of noise on the street, and there is not much business to do when the door is opened, and your father is not in good health these days, so he will rest for a few days." Lingzhi said.

"That's right, Mom, I think our cloth shop will be closed." Magnolia said.

"Why?." Lingzhi asked puzzled.

"People say we're capitalists." Magnolia said.

"It's up to them to say what others like, our family is doing right, and we are not afraid of what others say." Lingzhi said angrily.

"It turns out that you came back to teach me and your mother a lesson, okay, you think we have burdened you, then you don't want to go back to this house in the future." Hong Shun turned around angrily.

"Dad, what are you doing!" Magnolia begged.

"Your father and I have lived in this ancient city for so many years, and we are walking right and standing straight. In the future, you will cherish your own body. Lingzhi picked up Hong Shun and walked into the back room, leaving Yulan there alone, Yulan was so angry that she ran out of the door and never went home.

Soon, Lingzhi's cloth shop was sealed, Lingzhi fell ill in bed in a fit of anger, and Hong Shun stayed by the bedside every day to take care of it, patiently comforting Lingzhi not to be cheap for his body. Under Hong Shun's care, Lingzhi's body gradually recovered and improved, sewing clothes at home with Hong Shun every day, feeding the chickens, and gradually getting better, Hong Shun tried her several times if she wanted to see Yulan, Lingzhi shook his head and said forget it, wait until Yulan gave birth, Hong Shun felt that Lingzhi made sense, and never mentioned it again.

Just when Hong Shun and Lingzhi were staying at home peacefully, unexpectedly, one day, a group of Red Guards suddenly rushed into the house, grabbed Hong Shun and Lingzhi, forcibly put two signs around their necks, and dragged the two of them out of the house alive, pulling the parade all the way to the Grand Theater Square.

At this time, Yulan and Chen Gang were organizing the personnel of various units to gather in the square to prepare for the meeting, the two of them were busy on and off the stage, and after a while, Bai Li came with several leaders, and saw Yulan and Chen Gang preparing for the venue seriously, with a hint of a sinister smile on the corner of their mouths, and walked towards the stage with people, Yulan saw Bai Li coming, and instinctively wanted to say hello to Bai Li, but Bai Li pretended not to see it, and walked in front of Yulan with the others, sat down on the seats set up on the stage, and deliberately broke her hair with her hands. Yulan bit her lip lightly, turned around and walked towards Chen Gang in the corner of the stage.

At this time, a leader walked up to the stage and announced the start of the criticism meeting, everyone looked along the right side of the stage together, only to see Hong Shun and Lingzhi with a sign around their necks, their hair was messy, their hands were tied behind their backs, and they were dragged to the stage by a group of people, Yulan and Chen Gang were taken aback when they saw it, how could they not have imagined that they were called to arrange the criticism venue today to criticize their parents, Yulan saw the miserable image of her parents, opened her mouth wide and couldn't speak, Chen Gang never thought of it, and felt at a loss for a while, had to hug the trembling magnolia tightly. Hong Shun and Lingzhi have been resisting, and they didn't see Yulan and Chen Gang standing in the corner, and the two of them were pulled to the center of the stage to stand still. I saw Bai Li walk up to the stage with her head held high, pointing at Hong Shun and Lingzhi loudly exposing their crimes, Hong Shun and Lingzhi kept protesting, saying that Bai Li was talking nonsense, at this time, I saw Bai Li turn around, point at Yulan and Chen Gang and say:

"Hong Yulan and Chen Gang are here, what I said is not the truth, let them testify, if so, then we must draw a clear line with this pair of class enemies, if not, it means that Hong Yulan and Chen Gang can't distinguish right from wrong, and they also want them to be honest."

As soon as Bai Li said this, all of a sudden, everyone's eyes gathered on Yulan and Chen Gang, Yulan was sad and angry for a while, she never thought that Bai Li, who grew up with herself and had many years of friendship with classmates, would be so ruthless to expose her parents, and force her to express her position with Chen Gang like this, and then look at her parents who were bent over in front of the stage, Yulan only felt a heart-rending pain at this time, and she bit her lip so angry that she couldn't speak. Chen Gang looked at this situation and knew that he and Yulan couldn't hide from it today, and gradually understood that today's scene was completely directed by Bai Li, in order to force him and Yulan into a dilemma. Looking at Yulan's frightened appearance and thinking of the child in Yulan's belly, Chen Gang hugged her tightly and encouraged her in a low voice to be strong and never fall.

Yulan bit her lip and pulled away Chen Gang's hand, slowly walked over to Hong Shun and Lingzhi, walked up to them, and cried and said:

"Dad, Mom, you guys, just admit your mistake."

Hong Shun and Lingzhi thought that Yulan would run over to protect them desperately, but they didn't expect Yulan to say this to them, and the two of them turned around angrily and said loudly:

"What's wrong with us? One didn't steal and the other didn't rob, why should you admit your mistake? Lingzhi said.

"They are framed, Bai Li, you will be punished sooner or later." Hong Shun turned to Bai Li and said.

"Mom, Dad, I beg you." Magnolia knelt down as she spoke.

"You go away, we don't have your daughter." Hong Shun loudly motioned to Yulan and said.

Chen Gang was worried that Yulan was too sad, so he hurriedly ran over to help her up, and when he looked up, he saw Hong Shun blinking at him and signaling them to go away, Yulan only cared about sadness and tears, and stood up under Chen Gang's support, leaning on Chen Gang with grief and indignation, Chen Gang hurriedly helped Yulan up, when Bai Li turned to look at Yulan, she happened to meet Yulan's gaze, Yulan gritted her teeth and looked directly at Bai Li, her chest was full of anger, and Bai Li quickly turned her gaze away.

After the meeting, Bai Li followed several leaders to step down, and when the county leaders walked past Chen Gang and Yulan, they stopped and praised Chen Gang and Yulan for drawing a clear line in person, and said that Chen Gang would be transferred to the county. After Bai Li stood behind and heard this, she felt unexpected for a while, so she had to be silent, and Chen Gang pulled Yulan to cast a disgusted glance at Bai Li.

Lingzhi and Hong Shun angrily took off the sign hanging around their necks and slammed it on the ground, the two of them supported each other, Hong Shun lovingly cut Lingzhi's hair, Lingzhi gave Hong Shun a pull-out of clothes, and the two walked towards the stage together, and when they passed in front of Yulan and Chen Gang, they pretended not to see it, and walked over without saying anything.

Chen Gang sat on the edge of the bed and guarded Yulan, knowing that she had never been wronged today, she was deeply loved by her parents since she was a child, where would she have thought that she would encounter this kind of scene where she would report her parents, but her parents sternly refused, and finally became the same passerby as her parents. Chen Gang recalled all kinds of situations this afternoon, Bai Li's insidious viciousness made him shudder, if Bai Li kept grasping the affairs of Yulan's family, he knew that sooner or later he and Yulan would cause trouble to Xiao Wall. And what made Chen Gang puzzled was why Bai Li did this, recalling that in the past, she and Yulan were like sisters, and the relationship couldn't be better, Yulan was affectionate and righteous, and she was sincere to her, but she never thought that she would be framed, no wonder Yulan was so sad.

"Magnolia, don't cry, your body matters." Chen Gang put his arm around Yulan's shoulders and comforted.

"Chen Gang, I feel uncomfortable." Yulan turned over and snuggled into Chen Gang's arms and cried.

"I know, so let it out as much as you want. This kind of thing will be unbearable to anyone, but if you keep crying like this, you will cry and break your body, be obedient, stop crying, okay? Chen Gang said while wiping Yulan's tears.

"Hmm." Magnolia nodded.

Chen Gang saw that Yulan stopped crying, so he got up and poured her a glass of water, helped her to drink, let her lie on the head of the bed, and went to the kitchen to get food.

"I don't want to eat it, you can eat the rest." Magnolia said.

So Chen Gang ate the noodles in a few gulps, took the dishes and chopsticks out to wash them, closed the door and returned to the house after cleaning up, and lay next to Yulan.

"Chen Gang, this matter must have spread today, what will others think of us?" Magnolia asked.

"No matter what others think, what we should do and what we do, the more you shrink and shrink, the more others will look down on you." Chen Gang encouraged Yulan and said.

"By the way, I heard that the county leader said today that he was going to transfer you to the county, are you going to go?" Magnolia asked.

"Since the leaders have said so, they must go. It's just that I really don't want to go when I think of looking up and looking down with Bai Li. Chen Gang said.

"Why don't you go, the more you do this, the more you have to go. Hmph, I'm really blind, I haven't seen her like this for so many years. Magnolia said angrily.

"Have you thought about it, what happened today is actually Bai Li's ghost, it can be seen that she wants to perform too well." Chen Gang said thoughtfully.

Listening to Chen Gang say this, Yulan couldn't help but think about it seriously, remembering the situation when she met Bai Li in the unit last time, she felt a little wrong at that time, but Yulan didn't think about things in a bad way, it turned out that Bai Li had known for a long time, and deliberately hid it from Yulan, and she had always trusted Bai Li for many years, and she was full of hope that she would help in this matter of her own family, but she didn't think that she would use her own family's affairs as a step to move up, and when she thought of Bai Li's criticism at the meeting, Yulan gritted her teeth with hatred.

"Yulan, there is one more thing I didn't tell you today, at the criticism meeting, I feel that your father is deliberately not involving us, for fear that we will be affected." Chen Gang said.

"How? If he had been afraid that we would be affected, he would have listened to my advice and written a review. Magnolia blurted out.

Hearing Yulan say this, Chen Gang couldn't say anything more, after thinking so much, he felt that his head hurt too, so he and Yulan turned off the lights and fell asleep.

And in Lingzhi and Hong Shun's house, the two of them were also leaning on the bed, thinking about what happened this afternoon, like a nightmare, hating that Bai Li was reasonable, sighing that Yulan and Chen Gang's non-loneliness was almost implicated, Lingzhi shook his head and sighed, Hong Shun thought about it and couldn't find the answer.

"Why can't this Bai Li get along with us? She and Magnolia are good friends who grew up together. Hong Shun said.

"At a young age, we have a bad heart hidden in our hearts, and we are blind." Lingzhi said.

"When I saw Yulan kneeling in front of us, I knew that Yulan, this kid was too sincere, as long as it was said by the leader, she thought it was right, it was too simple and easy to be used, but fortunately, Chen Gang was by her side." Hong Shun said while thinking.

"But she always asks us to admit our mistakes, and she doesn't stand on our side and think about us." Lingzhi said angrily.

"Today's scene, I hope that she and Chen Gang will be cut off from us, otherwise, they will suffer with them, you didn't see how anxious I was at the time, and I gave Yulan a look, but Yulan didn't see it, but Chen Gang reacted after seeing it." Hong Shun said.

"Now even the family is estranged, alas." Lingzhi said with a sigh.

"At the moment, I'm still worried about Yulan, she is pregnant, although Chen Gang takes care of her, but she can't guarantee that Chen Gang also has a bad place to take care of, and she is so congested with us and doesn't go home, on the surface, it seems that she won't be implicated, but she will inevitably not be worried in her heart, especially today when she sees Bai Li treating us like this, I don't know how sad she is in her heart." Hong Shun said.

"I know you can't rest assured that Yulan is in your heart, but I think it's better to let her go through some hardships outside, we have spoiled her too much since we were young." Lingzhi said.

After Yulan survived the vomiting of the first pregnancy, she delayed some performances of the county propaganda team, so she no longer participated in the county propaganda team, but returned to work in the department store.

Lingzhi from that criticism of the meeting, the psoas muscle was damaged, a little movement on the heart of the pain, on the bed and in bed have to be supported by Hong Shun, Hong Shun every day intimate care of Lingzhi, a night to Lingzhi to take a towel hot compress, and then apply medicine, gently help Lingzhi to lie down and rest. However, Lingzhi often had nightmares after falling asleep, often calling out Yulan's name in his dreams, and sometimes being scared out of a cold sweat, which made Hong Shun anxious, and after thinking about it, he went to the department store to find Yulan.

Yulan lowered her head to clean up the paper and pen on the desk, Hong Shun waited outside for a long time, and when there was no one at this time, she quietly pushed the door and walked in, Yulan looked up, and when she saw Hong Shun, the word "Dad" swirled in her mouth, and then stopped, biting her lip in a complicated mood, and couldn't help but lower her head.

"Yulan, are you really going to plan not to see us for the rest of your life?" Hong Shun asked.

Magnolia endured the pain in her heart, shook her head, and still packed her things and didn't speak.

"Yulan, you are the only daughter of me and your mother, we raised you in the palm of our hands since we were children, everything is up to you, a family of three has lived together for so many years, is it possible that we have become enemies in your eyes in a blink of an eye." Hong Shun said.

"Daddy." Magnolia cried out.

"Your mother and I have lived all the way from the old society, we have worked hard, worked hard, never done anything against our conscience, we are neither spies nor capitalists, why do you dislike them so much?" Hong Soon continued.

"Not so, Dad." Magnolia said anxiously.

"You and Chen just got married and started a family, and your mother and I also hope that you will live happily, as long as you live a good life, your mother and I have nothing to worry about. Our second elder will not come over to affect you. But now that your mother is sick in bed, with nightmares every night, calling your name over and over again, and your life is on the line, are you really not going to go home to see her? If your mother can't survive and leaves us behind, won't you regret it? The more Hong Shun spoke, the more excited he became.

"Dad, I'm ......" Yulan didn't know what to say for a while.

"I'm here today to tell you this, and you can weigh it up for yourself if you don't go back." After Hong Shun finished speaking, he pushed the door and walked out.

Yulan looked at Hong Shun's departing back with tears in her eyes, her heart was as uncomfortable as a knife, especially now that she knew that her mother was sick in bed, and she was calling for herself in her dream, Yulan felt that no matter what, she had to go home to see it, and do her filial piety in front of her mother's bed, but could she take this step?

Yulan sat on the chair and pondered, her heart was full of contradictions, and then Bai Li pushed the door and walked in. When Bai Li entered the door of the department store, she saw Hong Shun just walking out of Yulan's office, Hong Shun saw Bai Li, turned his face to the side, and walked back without looking. Bai Li looked at Hong Shun's back, and then glanced at Yulan's office, so she walked straight towards Yulan's office.

"Yulan, it's your father who came to you, I saw it all just now, you have to think clearly about what to do, if you can't completely draw a line with your parents, don't blame me for not reminding you." Bai Li said.

"I don't need you to remind me." Yulan got up from the chair, cleaned up the things on the table, pushed the door and left, leaving Bai Li alone, Bai Li looked at Yulan's back thoughtfully, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Yulan came home to cook, Chen Gang came back, the two sat and ate together, Chen Gang helped Yulan clip a chopstick of vegetables, and asked with concern:

"Have you had a better appetite this time?"

"It's much better, and it's rare for you to get home on time." Magnolia said.

"Don't dare to relax, things can't be done one after another, and I'm even thinking about it when I'm sleeping." Chen Gang said while eating.

"Then you have to pay attention to your body, and when our baby is born, you have to stay with me well." Magnolia said coquettishly

"Of course, I can also have a reason to take time off work at that time." Chen Gang replied.

"I want to ask you if you like boys or girls." Magnolia asked happily.

"To be honest, I still prefer girls, but as long as you give birth to them, it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl." Chen Gang said.

Before going to bed, Yulan leaned on Chen Gang's arm and tentatively said that Hong Shun came to her in the afternoon, and asked Chen Gang if she wanted to go home to see her parents, Chen Gang pondered for a long time and said:

"From a human point of view, you have to go back to see them anyway, they are your biological parents after all. It's just that we have to be more careful, you don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us. Chen Gang turned around and continued:

"Today I saw a lot of units were smashed, those old leaders were hung up one by one to parade and criticize, you don't know, some Red Guards are too heavy, too much, directly with a steel brazing on the neck of the person to press down, where can this person stand it, I see it after the heart is very uncomfortable, but I dare not show too much in front of people. When they criticized your parents that day, I was trying to protect you, otherwise we might not be doing well now. ”

"Chen Gang, you are so good, it's just that I'm hesitant now and don't know what to do. Do you think I can't go back to this house? Magnolia asked.

"I think it's best to hide from people, and go quietly at night, so as not to be seen." Chen Gang said.

"When my father came to me today, he was seen by Bai Li, and she still wanted me to draw a line completely?" Magnolia said.

"Bai Li is too familiar with you, you should pay more attention to her in the future. I tried to stay away from her as much as possible. Chen Gang said.

"I don't have her classmates and friends anymore in this life." Magnolia said indifferently.

The next night, after Yulan went home to have dinner with Chen Gang, she decided to go home alone, Chen Gang was not at ease at first, but because he had to write a material to come out and hand it in tomorrow, he couldn't accompany Yulan back, and Yulan thought that if the two of them went back together, it would be easy to attract attention. Chen Gang thought about it and felt that what Yulan said made sense, so Yulan changed into a gray dress and took a scarf to cover her head, Chen Gang repeatedly told her to be careful on the road and go back as early as possible. Then he opened the door and looked to both sides, and saw that there was no one in the road, so Yulan walked out lightly, stood on tiptoe and walked downstairs with small steps, Chen Gang did not go back to the house until he could not see Yulan's figure, closed the door, and began to write materials on the table.

Yulan walked out of the dormitory of the Commercial Bureau, glad that she didn't meet anyone, walking alone on the street in the dark night, the cool breeze, the lights were dim, and there were few pedestrians, Yulan covered her scarf, and tried to walk along the eaves of the street, thinking that in case of accidents, she could also hide under the shadow under the eaves, although she was a little scared in her heart, but thinking that since she came out tonight, she had to be bold to move forward anyway, especially when she thought of the expectant eyes of her parents, Yulan mustered up her courage and couldn't help but speed up her pace.

When he came to the door of his house, Yulan's raised hand hesitated slightly, thought about it, looked around to see if there was anyone, and then gently knocked twice with his hand, Hong Shun was drinking water for Lingzhi in the house, and when they heard a knock on the door outside, the two of them couldn't help but be stunned, and guessed who would come at this time? After a slight pause, then there were two more knocks on the door, Hong Shun asked Lingzhi to stop making a sound, and he walked out gently, and saw a figure outside through the crack in the door.

"Who?" Hong Shun asked.

"Dad, it's me, open the door." Magnolia said hurriedly.

Hong Shun hurriedly opened the door, Yulan walked in sideways, Hong Shun looked outside, and immediately closed the door. As soon as Yulan entered the room, she walked straight to Lingzhi's room, took off the scarf on her head and held it in her hand as she walked, Hong Shun followed, and the two entered the room, under the light, Yulan saw her mother lying at the head of the bed, her hair was scattered, her face was haggard, her body was weak, her eyes looked at Yulan who hurriedly walked in, and looked at her frail mother, Yulan's tears flowed out.

"Mom." Magnolia threw herself on the bed and shouted.

"You're finally willing to come back, I thought you'd never go back to this home again." Lingzhi said weakly.

"Why don't I come back, this is my home." Magnolia said crying.

Hong Shun silently moved a stool over, sat close to the head of the bed, continued to feed water and drink Ganoderma lucidum, and asked Yulan Dao:

"It's such a dark day, you came alone, what about Chen Gang?"

"Chen Gang is at home to catch up with tomorrow's materials, and the two of them come over together, for fear of attracting attention." Magnolia said, placing the scarf next to the bed.

"Alas, now you have to sneak back home." Lingzhi said with a sigh.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you still mad at me? Yulan took Lingzhi's hand, brushed the hair on Lingzhi's forehead with her hand, and asked with concern.

"Your mother and I are not angry with you, you are still young and have experienced few things, I just hope that you and Chen Gang will not have a conscience when doing things outside." Hong Shun said.

"Yulan, you're about to become a mother, Mom just wants to see you give birth to a child peacefully, let me and your father help you bring it, you and Chen Gang go to work every day with peace of mind, our family can be happily together, Mom will be content." Lingzhi said lovingly.

"I knew you would feel sorry for me, I also told Chen Gang last night, don't blame him, he still blames himself in his heart." Yulan leaned on Lingzhi and said.

"I didn't want you to be implicated when I said angry words that day that I didn't recognize you, and Chen Gang understood my eyes that day. It's just that your classmate Bai Li has been looking for fault, and you and Chen Gang have to guard against her. Hong Shun said.

"Well, Chen Gang said the same thing. I finally saw what she was doing, and I was no longer a friend with her. Magnolia said hatefully.

"It's good to know how to guard against people, stay away from her for this kind of unrighteous person, and live your own life is the most important." Lingzhi said.

"Look, your mother is much better when you come, or stay with your mother today." Hong Shun asked.

"I want to stay too, but I'm afraid that after I go to work tomorrow and be discovered, I will cause trouble for you, so I will go back, and I will come quietly at any time in the future. Mom, Dad, take care of your health, don't worry about me. Magnolia said.

"You have to pay attention to yourself, you are now two people's bodies." Lingzhi stared.

Yulan picked up the scarf and wrapped her head again, Hong Shun was not at ease, took out a flashlight from the drawer on the table and said that it was to send Yulan back, Yulan was so frightened that she waved her hand and said don't send it, it will cause trouble if people see it, Hong Shun told Yulan not to worry, he just followed from a distance, and he wouldn't let people see it, until he saw Yulan enter the dormitory of the Commercial Bureau, and he returned. Lingzhi also said that it was indeed uneasy for a woman to walk back in Yulan, so let Hong Shun send it away from afar. So Yulan no longer insisted, and Tong Hongshun quietly opened the door, looked outside to the left and right, and saw that there was no one outside, Yulan walked out first, pretended to backhand the door, and then hurriedly walked in the direction of home, but unknowingly a figure flashed behind the opposite telephone pole, looked in the direction of Yulan's walk, and then walked in the opposite direction. Hong Shun waited for a while, gently opened the door and walked out, following Yulan from a distance under the eaves on the side of the street, looking back and forth from time to time, looking at each other, looking highly nervous, holding the flashlight tightly in his trouser pocket with his right hand, for fear that someone would suddenly jump out and be unfavorable to Yulan.

Hong Shun never thought that a father would use this way to escort his daughter home, born from Yulan, either in his hand or riding on his neck, the father and daughter laughed all the way, without scruples. Later, when Yulan grew up and went to school, she sat in front of Hong Shun's bicycle again, and talked endlessly about school with her father. Later, Chen Gang appeared, and he gradually withdrew from his daughter's sight as a father, and it seemed that he had completed the handover of his daughter's growth, and it was Chen Gang who accompanied his daughter's future life path, and he was no longer himself.

Hong Shun followed Yulan all the way from a distance, and when he was about to arrive at the dormitory of the Commercial Bureau, he suddenly saw a figure rushing out, pulling Yulan and walking quickly into the dormitory building, Hong Shun knew that it was Chen Gang, so he put his mind at ease, stood and stayed in place, looked up at the dormitory building, and after a while, he saw that the window of the room where Yulan and Chen Gang lived was lit up, Hong Shun stared for a while, then turned around and walked back, slowly disappearing into the night.

The next morning, as soon as Yulan arrived at the unit, she felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and everyone began to avoid her for some reason, Yulan just sat down, and an employee came over to inform her to go to the conference room immediately, Yulan agreed, stood up and walked towards the conference room in confusion, and when she arrived at the door of the conference room, she pushed open the door, and saw Bai Li sitting in it with a few Red Guards, and when she saw Yulan come in, Bai Li motioned for her to sit down opposite, Yulan walked over, and did not sit, but looked directly at Bai Li and asked:

"Is there something wrong with me?"

"Where were you last night?" Bai Li asked slowly as she drank her water.

"Nowhere to go, at home." Magnolia replied.

"No, do you swear?" Bai Li sneered.

Yulan was silent, and at this time, a Red Guard sitting next to Bai Li rushed to say:

"You went home last night, I saw it with my own eyes."

Yulan was taken aback, and couldn't help but stand on the table, Bai Li put down the water glass and said:

"You're doing this in front of you and behind your back, do you know the consequences of doing this?"

"My mom is very sick, I've got to go back and see it." Magnolia argued.

"Then why didn't you report to the organization beforehand? Sneaking at night, there is a ghost in my heart. I have already reported to the organization, and from today onwards, you have to honestly write a review to me and wait for the organization to deal with you. You've been relieved of your position at the department store, and you're no longer qualified to be a Red Guard. As soon as Bai Li said this, the two Red Guards beside her immediately walked over, tore off the "Red Guard" red sleeve on Yulan's arm without saying anything, and took it and put it in front of Bai Li.

"What right do you have to do this." Magnolia asked loudly.

"I'm now an instructor at a department store in the prefecture, so from today onwards, you can go to work at the warehouse." After Bai Li finished speaking, she led the Red Guards out, and Yulan suddenly collapsed on the chair.

Yulan came to the warehouse alone, walked slowly along the empty clearing, looking at the cold warehouses that were both familiar and unfamiliar, and the scene when she came here to see Bai Li came to her mind, and her true feelings for Bai Li were now torn apart by the ruthless reality.

Yulan thought that the people in the department store today were like great enemies to her, and after knowing what she had done, they all avoided her one after another, and now she came to the warehouse alone, although it was empty, she didn't have to worry about looking at anyone's face, and she was a lot less guarded, but it was also a good quiet place. Thinking of this, Yulan's mood was much calmer, so she walked straight to the room in the lounge.

Yulan opened the door of the lounge, and there was a musty smell inside, and the tables and chairs were full of dust, and it could be seen that no one had come to work here for a long time. Since the beginning of the movement, all the rules and regulations in the department store have been denied, no one has investigated the duty situation of each post, and even the duty post of this warehouse is useless, and how Bai Li left here, no one can say, I didn't expect that now she has mixed with the county revolutionary committee, and she has become an instructor stationed in the department store. Magnolia smiled wryly, took out the broom rag, cleaned the lounge, took out the key to the warehouse from the drawer, and tried to patrol one by one.

Yulan walked to the door of a warehouse, picked up the key to unlock the lock, tried a few but not, until the last one, finally opened the lock, Yulan struggled to push open the warehouse door, the light inside was dim, Yulan familiarly found the light switch behind the door to turn on, only to see piles of goods in the warehouse have accumulated thick dust, then a gust of wind blew in from the outside, and suddenly the dust in the warehouse rose, Yulan quickly ran out with her arms to protect her eyes and nose, stood at the door and waited for a while, and saw that the dust gradually disappeared, I walked in again, saw a pile of goods in a corner of the canvas was lifted by the wind, walked over and tried to pull it with my hands, but to no avail, so I wanted to find a stick to poke, looked around, found a bamboo pole, walked over and picked it up, it turned out to be the bamboo cut when I went to Tieshanxi with Chen Gang and Bai Li's family to play, and one end was also woven into a rake, Yulan took it in my hand, I had mixed feelings in my heart, walked back and pulled the corner of the canvas to cover it, and then walked out of the warehouse and locked the door.

Chen Gang was lying on the desk writing materials, Bai Li pushed the door alone and walked in, Chen Gang saw it, nodded slightly to say hello, and continued to write, Bai Li circled around Chen Gang, and then sat down opposite Chen Gang.

"Chen Gang, I just want to ask, do you know what Yulan did?" Bai Li said.

"What did she do?" Chen Gang said without raising his head.

"She ran to her parents last night." Bai Li said.

"Oh, but that's her real parents, and they always have to go and see it, what's so strange about that?" Chen Gang looked up at Bai Li and said.

"She has expressed her intention to draw a line with her parents, Comrade Chen Gang, do you know that the consequences are very serious, for the sake of our work together, I rushed over to give you a reminder." Bai Li said a little angrily.

"Well, thank you for bothering." Chen Gang continued to write materials.

Bai Li didn't give up, pulled a chair close to Chen Gang and continued:

"They are a family, and they can't draw a clear line, and you are from a poor middle peasant, with red roots, don't be influenced by her family, the county uses you so much, you have to think about your future carefully, don't go along with her and her family."

"Tell me, then, what should I do?" Chen Gang stopped and asked.

"Divorce, if you get divorced, you will definitely develop better." Bai Li said confidently.

"I know your intentions, but let me tell you, I will not divorce this marriage, I only love Magnolia in my life." Chen Gang stood up and said.

Bai Li was stunned for a while, and when she looked down, she suddenly saw that on the materials written by Chen Gang, she mistakenly wrote "Revolutionary Committee" as "Grass Committee", so Bai Li grabbed the materials and said angrily:

"Kindness is not rewarded, you wait, there will be your suffering." Bai Li slammed the door and left.

"Hey, why are you taking what I wrote?" Chen Gang chased to the door and shouted at Bai Li in confusion, but Bai Li walked away without looking back, Chen Gang dropped his head angrily, and came back to sit and continue to write materials.

After getting off work, Chen Gang just wanted to hurry home to see Yulan, and after hearing Bai Li say that he knew about Yulan's return home last night, Chen Gang has been worrying about it, not knowing how Yulan is doing in the department store today, especially thinking that Yulan is pregnant and worried that she will have a mistake. Thinking of this, Chen Gang couldn't help but speed up his pace, and walked straight to Nanchang, the dormitory of the Commercial Bureau.

Chen Gang went upstairs and walked into the aisle, and saw Yulan cooking in the aisle, like a person who was fine, Chen Gang unconsciously calmed down a little, walked to Yulan, took off her apron, pushed her into the room to sit, said nothing to let her do, everything was left to herself, she just waited for dinner. Yulan couldn't twist Chen Gang, so she had to go with him.

During the meal, Chen just saw that the red sleeve on Yulan's arm was gone, and looked up to see that there was no cool coat hanger, so he asked Yulan where she put the red sleeve, Yulan replied lightly that it was confiscated, Chen Gang was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Yulan what was going on, and Yulan calmly told Chen Gang the whole thing.

"Yulan, you are so abnormal today, when you encountered things before, your anxiety was written on your face, but today you are unexpectedly calm, what is the reason for you to be like this?" Chen Gang asked puzzled.

"I think it's a good thing that they let me go to the warehouse now, it's quiet and quiet, I can do whatever I want, and I don't see the noise outside, isn't it more beneficial to take care of the fetus?" Magnolia replied.

"That's just as well." Chen Gang couldn't help but nod and said.

"Now that they all know about my going home, I don't have to sneak around anymore, I want to go home and go back in the open, anyway, I've already taken on this role." Magnolia said as she ate.

Chen Gang felt that what Yulan said made sense, so he put his mind at ease, put food in the bowl of Yulan, and also told Yulan about his situation today. Chen Gang saw that Yulan was angry, and hurriedly persuaded her not to be angry for people like Bai Li, knowing in his heart that she was such a despicable villain, it was enough to guard against her in the future.

Bai Li took the materials that Chen Gang wrote typos to find a few leaders to report, and after several leaders opened and looked at it, they did not immediately express their position, first, because they had just transferred Chen Gang over, and now this kind of thing happened, I felt that I was afraid that it would affect me, and Chen Gang was born in a poor middle peasant, and he has always performed well, and the materials are also well written. Seeing that the leaders' attitudes towards Chen Gang were so vague, Bai Li suddenly became angry, and said loudly that no matter what, she had to ask Chen Gang to write a letter of guarantee and promise not to make such mistakes in the future, otherwise she would report this matter to the top. After discussing with several leaders, they decided to talk to Chen Gang alone. Later, Chen Gang obeyed their request and wrote a letter of guarantee that he would not make similar mistakes in the future, and Bai Li had nothing to say.

After a while, Bai Li came to the department store to supervise, and after finishing things, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Yulan for a long time, and she didn't know how she was doing now, so after sending the others away, she came to the warehouse of the department store alone, looking at the warehouses and empty spaces, she breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart, and walked straight to the lounge, and walked to the rest door, Bai Li quietly bent down and looked in through the window, only to see that Yulan was concentrating on knitting children's sari with her head down, with a peaceful and quiet expression, There was no such thing as the lost soul she imagined, Bai Li suddenly became angry again, pushed open the door with one hand, startled Yulan, raised her head in panic, saw that it was Bai Li, and instantly regained her calm, Bai Li stepped into the door with an arrogant look, and said with a fascinated look:

"Hey, it's very laid-back, it looks like the work here is so easy."

Yulan didn't answer, turned around slightly, and continued to weave the sarle. Bai Li pretended to be concerned and approached Yulan's side and said:

"Yulan, it's not me saying you, I arranged you to the warehouse, I want you to reflect on yourself and strive to return to the unit as soon as possible, but you are good, but you are here to weave clothes leisurely, and you really regard this place as a safe haven."

"Didn't you arrange for me to come? How do you make me reflect? I grew up in this kind of family, this is a fact that can't be changed in my life, should I be reincarnated? Magnolia said calmly.

"Why do you talk like that? I'm asking you to write a good review and expose your parents' crimes. Bai Li said.

"I can't draw the line, and I can't draw it clearly." Magnolia said.

"Magnolia, do you really want to be so stubborn to the end? Then don't blame me for not talking about the relationship between you and me. Bai Li said proudly.

"Is there still affection between me and you?" Magnolia asked rhetorically.

"Then you just wait." Bai Li coldly dropped this sentence and got up to leave.

Yulan put down the needle and thread in her hand, stood up, looked at Bai Li's distant back, closed the door again, and continued to weave clothes.

The next day, someone from the department store came to the warehouse to inform Yulan, saying that another person had been arranged to come to the warehouse to take over her work and let her go to the department store office. Yulan hesitated, simply packed up her things, came to the office of the department store, Bai Li sat on the chair with her hands crossed, and there were several Red Guards standing beside her, seeing Yulan come in, Bai Li glanced at a Red Guard, and the Red Guard took out a broom from the corner of the house and handed it to Yulan and said:

"From today onwards, your task is to clean the streets, including the public toilets in front of the Grand Theater, and clean them every day."

Yulan took the broom, glanced at Bai Li blankly, didn't say a word, turned to leave, Bai Li looked at Yulan's figure walking out, a smile appeared on her face, and looked left and right at the Red Guards standing beside her, they hurriedly bent down to Bai Li and nodded in praise.

After Chen Gang knew that Yulan was arranged by Bai Li to clean the streets, a wave of anger rose from the bottom of his heart, thinking that he and Yulan had already made a lot of compromises, especially after Yulan went to guard the warehouse, she did her duty and did not complain, but why is this Bai Li still so unrelenting and aggressive? Yulan is pregnant, how can she withstand the sun and rain on the street, is she trying to force herself and Yulan to a dead end? The more Chen Gang thought about it, the more angry he became, and rushed out of the door to find Bai Li's theory.

"Is there something wrong with me? Why are you so aggressive? Bai Li asked when she saw Chen Gang coming in.

"Do you still have a good conscience? Yulan grew up with you, what is sorry for you, you have been forced to work hard again and again, even if you don't have this friendship, looking at her pregnant body, you shouldn't arrange for her to sweep the streets. Chen Gang said angrily.

"Look at your distress, I thought something was a big deal, isn't it just sweeping the streets, Chen Gang, you don't know the reason why I arranged it like this, Yulan She hides in the warehouse all day long, how do others know that she is introspecting? I arranged for her to come out to sweep the streets, just to let everyone know that Yulan is really receiving reform education, and let her go back to work in the future, so everyone will have nothing to say. Bai Li stood up and said while pouring boiling water with the teapot.

"And how long are you going to let her sweep? She's pregnant. Chen Gang asked.

"When she can't sweep, naturally she doesn't have to sweep." Bai Li blurted out.

"That's what you said, please remember." After Chen Gang finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

Bai Li looked at the back of Chen Gang walking out while drinking water, couldn't help laughing, shook her head and sat down at the table again.

On the spacious street, pedestrians come and go inadvertently see a woman with a delicate face with a slightly bulging belly bowing her head all the way slowly cleaning the street, some pedestrians also deliberately turned around and turned their heads to take a closer look, a few familiar people recognized it as Magnolia at once, and couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise, and got together to discuss, not understanding how the glorious Magnolia in the past could be reduced to the point of cleaning the street, some sighed euphemistically, some said while watching, and the group walked over on chatter. Yulan knew that others were talking about herself, and she didn't hear or see it, so she just lowered her head and swept the floor, silently gritting her teeth in her heart to get through.

Just when Yulan struggled to load the garbage swept in the pile into the trash can, a pair of big hands reached over, grabbed the broom in Yulan's hand and threw it on the ground, Yulan raised her head and saw Hong Shun looking directly at herself and said:

"Go, come home with me, where is your job?"

"Dad, don't do that." Yulan begged Hong Shun as she went over and picked up the broom again.

"It's not a big deal, I'll give you a top when the sky falls." Hong Shun said angrily.

"Dad, please, you don't have to think about me, just think about Chen Gang, you can't affect him because of me." Magnolia whispered.

Hong Shun was stunned, he didn't think about Chen Gang in his anger, so he couldn't force Yulan anymore, only to see Yulan pack the garbage and slowly drag it to the garbage heap by the river, Hong Shun had to turn around and go home, and told Lingzhi everything he saw.

"How can this be reasonable, some time ago, she was bent to the warehouse, and now she is still asked to sweep the street, isn't this deliberately embarrassing her in public?" Lingzhi said indignantly, Hong Shun still wanted to explain something to Lingzhi, but Lingzhi couldn't listen, stood up and walked outside, Hong Shun had to follow Lingzhi out.

The two of them came to the street, looking around, but did not see Yulan's figure, the pedestrians who recognized Hong Shun and Lingzhi knew that they were looking for Yulan, they all watched and discussed from afar, Lingzhi turned a deaf ear, just looked for the past along the street, and kept asking Hong Shun where he saw Yulan just now, Hong Shun pointed to the place where he was talking with Yulan just now, and took Lingzhi to the garbage heap by the river to see, but still did not see Yulan, Lingzhi couldn't help but worry for a while, afraid that Yulan would not be able to think of doing something stupid for a while, Then he pulled Hong Shun along the river to look for the past, and when he saw pedestrians, he asked, but he still didn't see Yulan, and the two of them walked back to the street to look for it, and when they walked to the front of the big theater, they saw Yulan holding a broom and walked out of the public toilet in front of the big theater, Lingzhi saw it, and rushed over angrily and urgently, and threw away the broom in Yulan's hand without saying anything, and dragged Yulan towards home, Yulan just finished cleaning the public toilet, and was a little physically exhausted, seeing her mother forcibly pulling herself like this, struggling a few times to no avail, So I had to follow Lingzhi Hongshun back home.

"Magnolia, why are you doing this? You are pregnant, you will do whatever you are told to do, you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the child in this belly, you just stay at home and raise the baby well, with me and your father, you don't have to do anything. It's such a bully, I actually asked a pregnant woman to sweep the street, is this the ghost that Bai Li did, when I go to her tomorrow, I have to let her make it clear, we are not the ones who let her pinch and play with it. Lingzhi sat on the edge of the bed and said to Magnolia.

Yulan was lying on the bed, her whole body was weak, she opened her eyes and looked at the top of the bed, letting Lingzhi nag around her, but she couldn't listen to a word, recalling her acquaintance with Chen Gang in a daze, falling in love with her to getting married and starting a family, and her life was so sweet and happy, envying countless young men and women in the ancient city, walking on the street, never like now, avoiding people's eyes and ears, I thought that this kind of life would last a long time, but now because of the relationship between my family, I have become the object of isolation and transformation, and I am hidden by everyone all day long, I'm afraid that I will get dirt on my body, is it really my own mistake? Although Bai Li is not a big leader, why can she say that the wind is the wind and the rain is the rain in the department store? Even Chen Gang was almost framed by her, and now that she is implicated because of her own family situation, Yulan really doesn't dare to think about it, she only feels that she owes Chen Gang, as long as she can let Chen Gang work cleanly and without worry, she would rather die. Thinking of this, Yulan couldn't help shedding tears, Lingzhi saw Yulan crying, and panicked for a while, for fear that Yulan wouldn't be able to think about it, so he was busy persuading Hong Shun with kind words.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry about me, it's okay to sweep the streets, as long as you do things uprightly, you are not afraid of criticism from others, but I'm worried about Chen Gang, if something happens to Chen Gang, what will I do." Magnolia said with tears in her eyes.

"No, Chen Gang will be fine, don't think about it." Lingzhi persuaded.

"Chen Gang has a good background, has a red roots, and does things decently, so he won't treat him like anything." Hong Shun said.

"But Bai Li has been grasping him, I'm worried that Bai Li will make a fuss about my affairs and frame Chen Gang, she can do everything now." Magnolia said.

"And what do you want to do?" Lingzhi asked.

"Mom, you get me something to eat first, I still have to continue to sweep the street after I finish eating, I can't sit still at home." Magnolia said.

"What? You're still going to sweep the streets, can you stand it? Lingzhi said very reluctantly.

"It's okay, I try to take care of my body, I take a break when I'm tired, and no one dictates how much I have to sweep every day." Magnolia said.

"This?" Lingzhi looked at Hong Shun, Hong Shun heard Yulan say this, and knew that he couldn't be dissuaded, so he had to nod, turned around and went into the kitchen, Lingzhi stood up and followed Hong Shun.

After a while, Lingzhi and Hong Shun brought food from the kitchen, Yulan sat up, took it and began to eat, Lingzhi kept giving Yulan vegetables lovingly, telling her to eat as much as possible, don't starve herself and her children. After Yulan finished eating, she got out of bed and put on her shoes and prepared to go, Lingzhi said that she was okay to stay at home anyway, and she wanted to accompany Yulan to sweep the street together, and she could take care of Yulan at any time, Hong Shun said that the two of them would take turns to go, so that it would be more reassuring, Yulan couldn't twist her parents, so she had to agree.

Lingzhi came to the street with Yulan, picked up the broom and handed it to Yulan, and he went to the public toilet to find a short broom, and swept the street with Yulan, and the passers-by saw Lingzhi and Yulan sweeping the street together, and couldn't help but be curious, Lingzhi ignored it completely, just lowered his head and swept, and from time to time helped Yulan to put the swept garbage into the garbage heap, until the sun went down in the afternoon, and then helped Yulan to send her home first, and then returned by himself.

After Chen Gang heard Yulan say this, he felt guilty, blaming himself for not being able to take care of Yulan, but instead let his parents worry about it, and decided to go to Bai Li tomorrow to ask for an explanation, saying that Yulan was unwell and could not sweep anymore. Yulan hurriedly stopped Chen Gang and said that she would wait a few more days, and after only sweeping for a day, she would definitely hit a wall, anyway, now that she is accompanied by her parents, she can't be tired. Chen Gang thought about it, so he relied on Yulan.

A few days passed, Lingzhi and Hong Shun took turns to accompany Yulan to sweep the street was passed to Bai Li's ears, Bai Li decided to go to the street to see in person, surrounded by several Red Guards, Bai Li came to the front of the big theater, and saw Yulan and Lingzhi were cleaning in front of the public toilet, so he walked over slowly, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and said coldly:

"It's really the same mother and daughter, even sweeping the streets together, I want to ask, who is this sweeping?"

"You don't have to worry about it, you didn't sweep it anyway." Magnolia said angrily.

"I swept it? Hahaha, will I be reduced to sweeping the streets? And only people like you are worthy of sweeping, really, what kind of mother there is, what kind of daughter will be born. Bai Li smiled gloatingly.

"Shut up, what's wrong with us? Don't steal or rob, live in the ancient city for so many years, and eat with your own true skills. It's not like you, you don't have the ability to play the ball, and you don't recognize your six relatives, so you rely on stepping on others to climb up, and you will be retributed sooner or later. Lingzhi said loudly.

Pedestrians on the street stopped to watch, and when they heard Lingzhi say this, they all cast strange glances at Bai Li, and several Red Guards around Bai Li wanted to rush over to stop Lingzhi, but Bai Li stopped them.

"Your mouth is quite hard, your crimes have not been investigated, you dare to come to the street to mess around, you wait, I want to see who will be punished." Bai Li snorted angrily and left.

"Mom, we don't have to be angry with this kind of person." Yulan persuaded Lingzhi, and the two of them picked up the broom again and continued to clean, and the onlookers gradually dispersed.

When Yulan went to bed with Chen Gang at night, Yulan told Chen Gang what happened during the day, although Chen Gang felt relieved, but he was also worried about Yulan and her parents, because Chen Gang knew that Bai Li would not give up and would definitely do something to retaliate, so he couldn't help but be more worried about Yulan and her parents, Yulan in turn comforted Chen Gang, saying that as long as he was fine, the family would be fine, Chen Gang nodded, and the two turned off the lights and rested.

One day, Hong Shun accompanied Yulan to sweep the floor on the street, and when it was almost time to eat, Hong Shun asked Yulan to find a place to sit and rest, and he went home to bring food for Yulan. Magnolia put down her broom, walked to the river to wash her hands, and then returned to find a shady stone step at the entrance of the Pheasant Gate to sit down and rest.

Chen Gang received a temporary task in the office, because the county was short of manpower, the leader asked him to cooperate with Bai Li to prepare, Chen Gang heard that he was going to be with Bai Li, and he was extremely reluctant, especially very disgusted by Bai Li's pretentious practices. But Bai Li was very happy, feeling that this was another opportunity to show herself in front of Chen Gang, so she came to Chen Gang excitedly.

"Have you written all the presentations? This time we can't make a mistake like last time. Bai Li said.

"You go out first, I'll let the leader review it first after I write it, don't worry about it." Chen Gang said very coldly.

"Which leader will review it? You don't even know that the material you wrote is for me to review. Bai Li said proudly.

"You?" Chen Gang's eyes widened.

"What are you? Hurry up and write, it's too late. Bai Li urged.

So Chen Gang leaned on the desk and began to write, Bai Li turned around Chen Gang to look, Chen Gang's handsome eyebrows, straight nose bridge, and closed lips aroused Bai Li's heart to him for a while, Bai Li pulled a stool and prepared to sit next to Chen Gang, but he didn't know that one leg of the stool was loose, as soon as he sat down, the whole person fell towards Chen Gang, Chen Gang was startled, instinctively wanted to stand up, but was grabbed by Bai Li, and was about to break free, when several Red Guards walked in, saw this formation, stood dumbfounded, Bai Li saw someone coming in, she felt ashamed for a while, in order to save her self-esteem, she immediately angrily scolded Chen Gang for insulting her with bad intentions, Chen Gang was so angry that she pointed at Bai Li and was speechless for a while, Bai Li took the opportunity to shout to several Red Guards standing:

"Tie up this hooligan."

Chen Gang was arrested and held, Bai Li asked them to tie up Chen Gang first, and then he hurriedly ran out to find a few leaders to report, and brought several leaders over to see the scene, several leaders walked in to take a look, and felt that this involved the relationship between men and women, and did not dare to assert it, let alone protect Chen Gang, so they had to listen to Bai Li's words with pain, and agreed to criticize Chen Gang together with the landlord.

Yulan sat on the stone steps and ate the food brought by Hong Shun, her gradually bulging belly made her appetite better and better, thinking that she was accompanied by her parents every day, and she was cooking delicious meals for her every day, Yulan's heart was full of contentment. Hong Shun and Lingzhi saw that Yulan's mood was getting better day by day these days, and they gradually relaxed their hearts, just waiting for Yulan to give birth to full term smoothly.

Hong Shun saw that Yulan finished eating, and didn't let her clean up, so he put the dishes and chopsticks into the blue in a few moments, and then helped her stand up, and let her slowly walk back and forth at the entrance of the city gate to digest, and he was about to lift Lanzi home, when he saw a group of people coming out of the county revolutionary committee, the leading Red Guards took the lead in shouting slogans, and there were two people tied up in the back, who were pushed out of the street to show the public, Yulan because she could see this scene almost every day, so she didn't mind, just glanced at it casually, But she was stunned all of a sudden, because she saw that the person on the right who was tied up was none other than Chen Gang, who was like five thunderbolts for a while, and couldn't help but think about it, and rushed over desperately, Hong Shun was also stunned when he saw this scene, and hurriedly put down Tiran and rushed over.

"Chen Gang, what's wrong with you? Why did you tie him up? Magnolia shouted loudly.

Several Red Guards immediately came over to drive Yulan away, not letting her get close to Chen Gang, Yulan couldn't take care of it, struggled to pull away the Red Guard's arm, rushed over and hugged Chen Gang and cried loudly, Chen Gang looked at Yulan with mixed feelings, at this time a Red Guard actually came over and lifted Yulan, Yulan stood unsteadily, almost fell, Chen Gang was furious:

"Are you still human? She's pregnant! Magnolia, you have to hold on, you have to persevere. ”

"Chen Gang, I want to be with you." Magnolia cried sadly.

Hong Shun hurriedly came over to support Yulan, looked at Chen Gang who was tied up, his eyes showed grief and dissatisfaction, a group of Red Guards pushed Chen Gang to the venue, Yulan chased after him desperately, Chen Gang was pushed by the Red Guards onto the platform erected at the venue, Bai Likang angrily reported Chen Gang's crimes, especially mentioned that the loss of the manifest in the department store that year, it was purely Chen Gang who deliberately framed her, Chen Gang was so angry that he gritted his teeth and scolded Bai Li for talking nonsense, A Red Guard stepped forward and slapped Chen Gang fiercely, Chen Gang immediately bled from his mouth and nose, and Yulan was desperate to rush to the stage, but was stopped by a group of people.

"Bai Li, you spew blood, you will be punished." Magnolia cried.

After the criticism meeting, Bai Li led a group of people to leave hastily, Yulan walked up to the stage with the support of Hong Shun, and pounced on Chen Gang tremblingly, Hong Shun followed and untied the rope tied to Chen Gang's body, and Chen Gang couldn't help but shed tears when he hugged Yulan. Hong Shun took the two of them and walked home slowly, Lingzhi was also taken aback when he saw Chen Gang's ragged clothes and his face was bruised and purple, and after listening to Hong Shun, he was angry in his heart, and hurriedly asked Hong Shun to fetch hot water for Chen Gang to wash his face, find his own clothes for him to change, and he helped Yulan into the house and let her lie on the bed to rest.

Yulan was frightened and overly sad, lying on the bed and drowsy, but as soon as she fell asleep, she kept calling Chen Gang, Chen Gang washed his face and changed into Hong Shun's clothes, and quickly ran over to take Yulan's hand, comforting Yulan and letting her sleep peacefully, Yulan grabbed Chen Gang tightly, and said vigorously "Don't leave me", Chen Gang held Yulan in his arms and slowly coaxed her to sleep.

Lingzhi and Hong Shun watched this scene outside, and they couldn't help crying, and the two turned around and walked into the kitchen to cook. During the meal, Yulan finally fell asleep, Chen Gang gently put her down, covered her with a quilt, walked out lightly, and sat down to eat with Hong Shun and Lingzhi, Lingzhi asked Chen Gang what happened today, and Chen Gang told them everything that happened.

"Oh my God! Isn't this pure framing? It's not reasonable. Lingzhi said angrily.

"I think this Bai Li has reached the point of sadness." Hong Shun said.

"We can't keep being bullied by her like this, I'll go to her tomorrow for comment." Lingzhi said.

"You must not go, even if you go, it won't work, and in the end you will be angry with her, because she doesn't make sense at all, she just wants to fix us, she is already a pervert." Chen Gang said.

"And what happens to you next?" Hong Shun asked.

"Quarantine the review, write the review." Chen Gang replied. (To be continued.) )
