Chapter 481: Rosen's Current Situation
In this way, Rosen and Liu Zhu's family changed from the elite class in China to the group of people who were educated and transformed, and they have been sent to Hujiazhuang from the capital of China for more than half a year, this is the first winter they spent in Hujiazhuang, because Rosen is old, the weather is too cold, and he didn't pay attention to the cold!
In this countryside, there is no medical treatment and no medicine, and coupled with the current identity of this 'rightist' element, he went to the county to find someone and ignored it. After dragging on for a few days, seeing that it was getting stricter day by day, Liu Zhu was anxious in his eyes, and he really had no choice but to get some local herbs from the countryside to boil it to see if he could make Lawson feel better.
"Pillar, where is your daughter-in-law? What about Jian'er and Hong'er? Rosen couldn't help coughing a few times, and then took the bowl of medicine that looked black and whirring brought by Liu Zhu, closed his eyes and drank it. Liu Zhu is right, he wants to get his body in good shape and wait for Xiaoju to come back.
"Xiaofeng, she's cooking in the kitchen! Two children followed her! Liu Zhu watched Lawson finish drinking the medicine, hurriedly took the bowl and put it on the kang table next to him, and then gave Lawson the quilt to put on his body, "Old man, add another fire, and burn the kang hot, right?" ”
"No, you don't! The kang burned too hot, people felt dry, and coughed even more! You let Jian'er and Hong'er stay on this kang, and it's warm on the kang! Don't let them get sick too! Rosen tried his best to hold back his cough, his eyes half-closed, thinking about Liu Zhu's pair of children, especially his daughter Liu Hong, who really had a little bit of Xiaoju's cleverness back then.
Lawson, who was half-closed in his eyes, had fallen into the memories of that year in his mind, and he remembered that the first time he saw Xiaoju was in Wuhan! At that time, the organization brought her in and asked her to play his daughter. That little girl, knowing in her heart that he was guarding against her, but she pretended not to know anything, not only played the role well. And helped him so much later! And at the critical moment, he was more reliable and firm than Ouyang Xiaohua, the old partner of the husband and wife for many years at that time.
Liu Zhu saw that Lawson seemed to be asleep, and hurriedly took the bowl on the kang table and walked out of the room lightly, during this time Lawson coughed badly day and night, and there was no way to sleep well, if he could rest well, he would definitely get better faster. How could Liu Zhu, who had this kind of thought, let his two sons and daughters come in and quarrel with Lawson?
He Xiaofeng is pasting tortillas in the kitchen. I saw Liu Zhu coming in with an empty bowl. So he asked, "Is the old man better?" ”
"It's not a bad cough! Just stick a tortilla for the old man, Jian'er, and Feng'er! I had to save the cornmeal that I got back from my comrades-in-arms two days ago, but it's hard to get it now! Liu Zhu looked at the children who were staring at his wife's several tortillas in the pot. There is some pantothenic acid in my heart.
"It's mainly for the old man! Jian'er and Feng'er can share one of them! It's time for the commune cafeteria! He Xiaofeng neatly shoveled out the fried coarse tortillas and put them in the bowl. Liu Jian and Liu Feng were also very sensible, holding a piece of thick corn tortillas that He Xiaofeng had given them a bowl to add, and happily shared the food.
Liu Zhu looked at the pair of children who had only left the capital for half a year, and their faces were obviously ruddy. I just feel that the sourness in my heart is stronger. He Xiaofeng couldn't see Liu Zhu's sadness, and said with a smile. "Don't feel too sorry for them! No matter what, you can secretly eat a tortilla! You see that many adults in the village are so hungry that they are walking and floating, and they have to go to work! ”
"I don't understand, every meal in the commune canteen is a dumpling of wild vegetables and a bowl of porridge with few grains of rice, and this year's harvest is not very bad. Where did all the harvest go? Sooner or later, people will starve to death! Liu Zhu hatefully put the bowl in his hand on the stove.
"Shhhh You still don't think your hat is heavy enough? He Xiaofeng rushed out of the kitchen in a panic and looked around, but didn't see anyone. Only then did he return to the kitchen and said in a low voice, "The old man was very sick two days ago. You took leave and didn't go to the mobilization meeting of the team, and I heard from the cadres of the brigade that the grain requisition task from above has increased again this year! I heard that when the president of the commune held a meeting in the district, he reported that he produced 12,000 catties of wheat per mu of land, and he was praised by the secretary of the district party committee! ”
"12,000 catties of wheat per acre?" Liu Zhu's face became darker than the bottom of the pot, "Crazy!" In order to make political capital, what kind of situation will the people be put in! Doesn't he know in his heart how much wheat is produced in an acre of land? In a bumper harvest year, he can produce four or five hundred catties, and he reports so much, and when the above requisition tasks are distributed according to his report, what will he take to complete it? ”
"Be quiet!" He Xiaofeng glanced at Liu Zhu, and was a little glad that Liu Zhu did not attend the first two brigade meetings, otherwise according to his temper, he would have made trouble on the spot again, and then he would become a typical example of sabotaging the socialist economic construction of the 'Great Leap Forward'.
"No, I'm going to talk to the captain about it! We have to find a way to go to the district to clarify the facts, otherwise everyone will not even have to eat a few grains of rice porridge next year! "The more Liu Zhu thinks about it, the more it's not a matter, '1,200 catties of wheat per mu of land', this is obviously a lie, can't the secretary of the district party committee even see such an obvious fact? Can't tell? Even praise the person who said such things?
"Pillars!" As soon as He Xiaofeng saw that Liu Zhu was about to rush out, he regretted telling him these things first, "Don't worry, you should sue the old man first about this matter, and see what the old man says!" ”
"The old man is sick like that, and he still doesn't have to worry about it!" Liu Zhu didn't listen to He Xiaofeng's words, opened the door and went to the village against the cold wind, only to be so anxious that He Xiaofeng's tears fell out. You must know that Rosen and Liu Zhu were branded as 'rightists' and sent to this small mountain village on the edge of the wall to be transformed, isn't it just a loss to tell the truth and do practical things? Now from top to bottom, they are shouting empty slogans and talking big things, and those who shout loudly and can speak big words will be promoted quickly, and people like the old man and Liu Zhu have long been branded as 'rightists' and decentralized.
"Mom! Did Dad bully you? I went to tell my grandfather that my grandfather couldn't spare my father! Liu Jian saw He Xiaofeng shed tears, and Liu Zhu ran out, thinking that Liu Zhu was bullying people, so he hurriedly stuffed his leftover corn tortillas into his sister Liu Hong's hand, and ran out of the kitchen to the kiln where Lawson was staying.
Although He Xiaofeng knew that Luo Sen's health was not good, he was even more afraid that something would happen to Liu Zhu, so he hurriedly picked up Liu Hong and returned to the cave.
"Jian'er, what's wrong?" Rosen didn't fall asleep at all, and he knew it as soon as Liu Jian came in.
"My dad made my mom cry! Grandpa, wait for my dad to come back, you criticize him! Liu Jian complained with an unhappy face.
"Oh? Where did your dad go? Rosen's heart tightened, although he has left Kyoto now, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the shape, he has been in the army for so many years, and there are his subordinates everywhere, not to mention that he is a dry agent, and his sensitivity to all kinds of information is higher than that of ordinary people, since the Central Committee put forward the three red flags, the general line, the people's commune, and the Great Leap Forward to build socialism in 59, the whole of China has fallen into a kind of exaggerated wind, and this exaggerated wind has a tendency to become more and more intense. Not long ago, he had written a long letter to Kyoto about what he had seen and heard below, hoping that his letter would be taken seriously by the number one person.
"Old man, Liu Zhu went to the brigade headquarters!" He Xiaofeng said with red eyes.
"What's going on? What is he doing at the brigade headquarters? When Luo Sen saw He Xiaofeng like that, he was anxious, he couldn't cough up a mouthful of phlegm, and his face was red and his lips were purple.
"Old man, don't scare me!" He Xiaofeng was so frightened that he put Liu Hong on the ground, and the whole person climbed onto the kang to help Luo Sen pat his back hard. When Lawson coughed up the phlegm and came back to his senses, He Xiaofeng found that his hands and feet were weak.
"Tell me quickly, what is Liu Zhu doing at the brigade headquarters?" As soon as Rosen took a breath, he immediately continued to ask. He couldn't help but be anxious, Liu Zhu's temperament belonged to the kind of person who admits death, otherwise he would not have been implicated by him and sent to Hujiazhuang. And Liu Zhu is still Xiao Ju's little uncle, but before leaving, he entrusted people to himself, if Liu Zhu has something, his old face will not have the face to see Xiao Ju. What's more, after getting along for so many years, he has long regarded Liu Zhu as his own relative.
"I shouldn't have told him about the brigade meeting two days ago!" He Xiaofeng blared and blamed himself.
"What's the matter?" Rosen repeated with some unhappiness, when has this been, and she is still such a mother-in-law, Liu Zhu's daughter-in-law used to look very cool, but now ......
"Two days ago, the captain said at the meeting that he wanted us to produce 12,000 catties of wheat per mu next year!" He Xiaofeng saw that Luo Sen's face was gloomy, and he didn't dare to hide his money, so he said quickly.
"He's crazy!" When Lawson heard this, he only felt a rush of anger rushing to his head, "Hasn't he ever farmed?" He doesn't know how much wheat is produced per acre when the year is at its best? It also produces 12,000 catties of wheat per mu, and the gods have to be tired, it seems that these people have to blow up the cowhide to enjoy it! ”
"It wasn't the captain who said that! I heard the captain say that it was the president of the commune who said it at the district committee! Therefore, the president of the commune was also praised by the secretary of the district party committee! He Xiaofeng explained in a low voice.
"A bunch of bastards! Occupy the pit and don't, a group of guys who bring disaster to the country and the people! Rosen scolded with a gloomy face.
"You go to the brigade headquarters for me to call Liu Zhu back, just say that I asked him to come back! What is the use of him going to the brigade headquarters? Lawson forced himself to calm down, and ordered He Xiaofeng, while thinking in his heart about how to get to Kyoto in this matter, and if he continued to be hot-headed, Huaxia would not see the future.
He Xiaofeng got Rosen's words, and immediately went out to the village brigade headquarters to run wildly, hoping to catch up with Liu Zhu, as for Liu Jian and Liu Hong, although they are not very old, but in the past six months in Hujiazhuang, they have already matured early, and at this time, from the heaviness of the conversation between Rosen and He Xiaofeng, they also felt that something big had happened, so these two little guys climbed on the kang and sat very well-behaved.
