After a long absence, the two have too much to say.

Cong Jing handed him two crumpled letters, both written by his second brother Letian. The edges of the envelope are fluffing through, revealing the yellowed letter inside. She said that fortunately she found out early and hurriedly put it away, as soon as the word spread in the office, you would be in trouble if you looked at him.

She insisted on helping him wash his clothes and shoes, and took the basin to the bathroom. Jiang Lesheng read the letter under the lamp.

The first letter reads: The brigade set off a great revolution**. Each of the activists had a red sleeve with the word "rebel" printed on it. Those who wore red sleeves did not work according to their work points, sang quotations and songs in Sanjia Village, made wooden signs with high hats, and paraded four types of elements on the street. Break the "four olds", destroy the land temple that has been restored in recent years, and dig an open-air dung pit at the original site, so that the land master will never have a foothold; The coffins of the rich peasants buried in the ground were taken out, and the bridges were repaired and shipwrought by cutting the plates and nails. -- Exploiting people while they are alive, and not wanting to live in peace after they die!

The coffins of the grandparents are all fir wood, the bottom, the gang, and the cover are four, five, and six inches thick, and the archway brigade is one of the best, and the coffin is split and the corpse is abandoned from Jiang Wangfa.

Xu Qihu's sixteen-year-old son, Xu Xiaohu, became the accountant of the production team. He came up with a brilliant idea: order Jiang Letian and Jiang Legu brothers to dig their ancestral graves!

He sent the Jiang brothers and two other members to pick up the coffins of Jiang Wangfa and his wife, and finished picking up the eight points of work for each person in one day. The Jiang brothers didn't say a word or move, Xu Xiaohu shouted: Give you a chance to make meritorious service and atone for your sins, don't go quickly!

At the end of the dispatch, Xu Xiaohu announced: After the end of the work, each family went to the yard to pre-divide the wheat cooked rations. He glanced at Jiang Letian, who was stunned and motionless: Don't come to distribute grain if you don't accept the dispatch, drink the northwest wind!

The Letian Legu brothers couldn't survive by drinking the northwest wind, so they had to accept the assignment. When I came to the place where my grandparents were buried, I lay on the ground and kowtowed three times, and dug down with a spade and a spade. After the lid of the coffin was revealed, they handed the crowbar to the other two members and begged for you, "Pry it, we don't want today's work, we will give it all to you." The brothers couldn't bear to do it, and walked away to smoke with tears in their eyes.

In the evening, when the grain was distributed, the loudspeaker on the big tree was broadcasting the "news flash" of the county radio station. One of them said: The correspondent reported that the first team of the archway of the Pailou Commune carried out the "four olds". Under the education of the leaders of the production team, Jiang Letian, the son of rich peasants, performed actively, picked up the fir coffin of his grandparents who had been buried in the ground for 16 years, and dedicated it to the collective shipbuilding. They deserve credit for what they have done.

The two little brothers who were "praised", one carrying half a pocket of new wheat on their backs, and the other carrying the wheat straw that had not yet been dried, staggered back home.

The second letter was written a week ago.

A wind of "clearing floating wealth" that does not know where it started, like a storm sweeping through the archway brigade. At the end of the day's parade on the streets, more than 30 landrich elements took off their top hats, took off the signs, and carried them in their hands, waiting to be disbanded and go home. Wang Huaibing came to the front of the queue, and the whistle blew majestically and said: Attention! The masses revealed that someone had secretly hidden gold and silver treasures, and ordered them to hand over all of them tomorrow morning. Take the initiative to turn in the past and not blame; If the stubborn resistance continues, the dictatorship command will resolutely take revolutionary action!

On the afternoon of the next day, Xu Xiaohu led a group of "red sleeves" and wolves to break into Jiang Letian's house and surrounded his mother Qu Ming. The mother stared at her frightened eyes, clenched her hands into fists and begged for mercy, her pale hair like a clump of decaying grass under frost. She was exhausted from three days of street travel, and her wrapped small zongzi could not keep up with the team, and she was constantly beaten with sticks and sticks.

Xu Xiaohu roared: It's useless for you to kowtow. Hand over the gold and silver treasures when you know each other!

The mother sped up the frequency of the flattery, trembled, and repeatedly spat out the word "no".

Revolutionary action began. The "red sleeves" took out a thin hemp rope, tied their mother's two thumbs, and pulled the other end down around the beam. As soon as she pulled the rope, her feet were suspended from the ground, like a swing. Xu Xiaohu smiled and said: I pity your old bones and brittle, otherwise I will taste the taste of hanging on my back. Hurry up, you can't bear to hang you like this!

The mother's white hair hung down to her chest, and she howled a few times at first, but then she didn't cry or scream as if she had lost her breath. Sweat and tears dripped down his chin, and several bean-sized pits dripped from the ground.

"Click" sounded, the hanging body shook, and the mother's thumb bone was broken!

Le Tian pulled his younger brother Legu and knelt down for Xu Xiaohu, who was squinting and smoking: Xu is doing well. I have no gold or silver treasures in my house. Mother is too old to bear it, so if you have to hang us, hang us.

Xu Xiaohu, who had not yet grown hair on his mouth, rolled his eyes, imitated his Lao Tzu's posture, bit his lower lip with his upper teeth and said coldly: You two did a good job in digging the ancestral grave the day before yesterday, how did you intercede for the four types of molecules today?

He instructed his subordinates: hang for half an hour and rest, and continue tomorrow if you don't recruit today.

A few "red sleeves" were spread under the pillows, digging and planing along the roots of the wall with shovels and pickaxes, the ground seemed to be arched by an old sow, the clothes with tattered books and patches were thrown everywhere, and half a bag of wheat grains that were not willing to eat were sprinkled on the ground, and nothing was found until it was dark. The mother groaned and said, "Legu, pick up the wheat, step on the mud, and have nothing to eat......

As soon as the whistle blew, the "red sleeves" were withdrawn, and Xu Xiaohu said that he would come back tomorrow!

All "revolutionary actions" were repeated the next day. Before leaving, he still claimed: Come back tomorrow!

The brothers discussed that they could not just wait for death, but had to find a place to reason, and took turns carrying their mother to the county seat overnight. I didn't eat for two days, my feet were like stepping on cotton, and I was sweating after walking a few steps, and it took three hours to walk seven miles. In the second half of the night, I found the county people's committee, and a family of three stayed in the gatehouse on duty until dawn. A cadre-like person came to work at eight o'clock, glanced at his mother's purple wrist and drooping thumb, turned around and went to the opposite office to make a call. came back and said with a straight face: Go home, I won't hang you again. If you have something, you should take the initiative to hand it over, sacrifice your life rather than your wealth, is gold and silver treasure worth or is your life valuable? Le Tian cried and said with a sad face: It's good to have it, but I hate it! Legu boldly asked: What should they do if they hang again? The man replied angrily: Hang you again!

At the end of the letter, Rakuda wrote: "My mother lay in bed and cried day and night. Brother Lesheng, I haven't received your letter for two months, how do you live these days?

Cong Jing hummed a cheerful song and came back with a basin. She shook off the washed clothes one by one, flattened them, and hung them on the wire in the room. Seeing Jiang Lesheng holding the letter in a daze with a sad face, he comforted: I sent fifteen yuan in your name according to the address of the letter, and I should have received it. How painful it is to break a bone, how can it not be cured? She sighed deeply and said: Liu, the mass movement is terrible! I couldn't believe it was true. How pitiful your mother is so old!

She pushed away the few pieces of RMB he handed over: Who wants you to pay it back? Your mother is also my mother, let me do my filial piety. Jiang Lesheng's heart was warm and his nose was sour.

Next, they discussed, college admissions have been abolished, and the road to hope that was previously calculated is blocked, what should we do next?

Cong Jing said that she had taken a leave of absence and was going to go home for a few days. I saw the opportunity to talk to my father again, and begged him to transfer you as soon as possible...... Alas, it would be nice if you were a formal cadre, Commissioner Hu of the Executive Department lives opposite my house, and his lover Aunt Sun is the director of the personnel bureau, and she likes me like her own children, but unfortunately she is only in charge of cadres, and she can't do it by work. The infatuated girl has put a lot of thought into saving her "Liu".

Cong Jing said she was particularly tired of her current situation. The school has stopped classes, and there is no sound of reading aloud, no singing and laughing, only overwhelming big-character posters. The well-born "red soldiers" set up a school protection team, and all the children of employed peasant workers were swept out of the school and rushed home.

In addition to memorizing quotations in school documents, the daily work of teachers is to criticize Principal Doulin over and over again, and focus on a few old "problems". She couldn't bear to see Principal Lin being shaved yin and yang, bowing her head and sweating profusely and standing on a jet stool. You Hongshan, Li Feng and other leftists were certainly active, but even Liu Ya's people followed suit, shouting slogans that shook the sky, and expressed their loyalty to the revolution by trampling on the dignity of President Lin. "I can't stand it!" Her eyes were red.

Principal Lin was locked up in a black hole warehouse, guarded by red soldiers in shifts, with a nest head and a bowl of salted water to cook vegetables for each meal. Her husband Lao Zuo simmered a hen and sent it, and the red soldiers did not allow him to approach on the grounds that "the leader instructed him not to send food". You Hongshan led a group of people, shouted the slogan of protecting the young revolutionary generals and not allowing the rightists to turn the sky, and sent the old left to the confinement room, and Wu Bande ordered handcuffs and leg shackles. Pity the two children of his family, gnawing on the cold nest and drinking well water, but no one came to the door to take a look.

The air was dreary. Cong Jing said tell a joke, listen to it: the school will have a bittersweet meeting, and Uncle Bian, who is on the watch, will make a report. Lao Bian Tou said that he worked as a long-term worker in the old society and suffered a lot, and the primary school students were all moved to tears. The slogans of "not forgetting the hardships of the class, remembering the sorrow of blood and tears" and "learning from Uncle Bian and paying tribute to Uncle Bian" are wave after wave. Lao Bian Tou was excited for a while and said that the rich man also had a good heart. The third family I carry is surnamed Liang, the family is very kind to me, usually a table to eat, at the end of the year a copper is a lot, the owner also sent a pig's head plus two catties of meat, to my mother to keep the New Year...... Before the words fell, You Hongshan jumped onto the stage with an arrow step, grabbed Lao Bian's head and neck and didn't allow him to say more. The order of the venue was chaotic, You Hongshan said that Lao Bian Tou was drunk, poisoned and talked nonsense, and the bitterness meeting ended here. Lao Bian lost face and stomped his feet under the stage: Who the was drinking? Who the is poisoning and talking nonsense? Next time, your kid will lift the sedan chair, and grandpa will never come again, hum!

She smiled forward and backwards, smiled and bent over and laughed, still so innocent and romantic.

She suddenly covered her stomach and said, "By the way, Liu, I have to check my body when I go home this time." I don't know what's going on, I have a bad appetite these days, I don't want to eat and I vomit twice. Dr. Niu was found out, and other doctors in the health center were poor at seeing a doctor, and they couldn't take a lot of stomach medicine. It looks like something grows in its belly, and sometimes it moves.

Jiang Lesheng was surprised when he heard this, and comforted her and said no, it must be a spiritual effect. Excessive longing can affect appetite and digestion, and I have barely eaten enough in the past two months.

She suddenly screamed: "Woo, it's moving again, come and touch it!"

She motioned with her eyes for him to close the door.

Cong Jing leaned on the quilt and reclined on the bed, unbuttoned his pants and grabbed his hand and pressed it on his lower abdomen. Jiang Lesheng held his breath and touched her smooth and delicate skin, there was indeed a small pimple moving, arching and stopping, stopping and arching.

The room was so quiet that you could hear the heartbeats of two people. Jiang Lesheng leaned in her ear and whispered: You won't be pregnant with our child, will you? His eyes were full of horror and confusion.

Cong Jing was stunned for a moment and shook his head: Won't it? Just twice is that coincidental?

She sat up and said unusually calmly: "It's really good to be like that." Raw rice is cooked rice, and all problems are solved!

There was a "bang", and the door was kicked open. You Honglu raised the camera in front of him and pressed the shutter, and took Jiang Lesheng's panicked demeanor and Cong Jing's action of buttoning his trousers into the camera one after another; It was followed by two people wearing red armbands, one was strong and the other was thin and tall.

Honglu immediately announced on behalf of the leading group: Jiang Lesheng was isolated for reflection, and Cong Jing wrote a written inspection. The two asked in unison why? You Honglu pinched his waist with both hands and said viciously: The revolutionary masses are vigorously engaged in the great revolution, and you are hiding in a dark corner and messing with the relationship between men and women!

The red armband held Jiang Lesheng hostage from left to right, pushed and shoved him into an empty room that exuded a musty smell, which was the isolation room prepared by You Hongshan. Cong Jing cried angrily protested behind him: We didn't do anything, you are responsible for your actions!

Wu Bande set the tone: Cong Jing's consciousness is not high, he is blinded, and he is based on criticism and education; Jiang Lesheng was born in the Black Five Category, corrupt and degenerate, and morally corrupt, just waiting for Cong Jing to fight back, sort out the materials and send them to re-education through labor!
