Chapter 12: The Good Aunt

"You don't come, sir, I'm in charge of this matter today. Don't think I don't know, you just want to bully Aunt Yueyue, she ignores you, and she will declare a personal vendetta. That's it, I won't talk to you anymore", said to Zhou Kun in a childish voice, dragging the tone, and frustration in the tone of Peking Opera:

"I'm waiting here today, and there's a kind of you letting go of the horse yourself-come-ah!"

There were a lot of onlookers, but they were all amused, and a few girls such as Qiaoyun and Su Yun clapped their hands hard to add fuel to the fire. Zhou Kun was exposed by someone, and he was about to jump like thunder, but he saw Yu Songyuan suddenly singing under the cheering of the onlookers:

"Little turtledove, coo, I have a good aunt in my house. You eat with me in a pot of rice and sleep in the same room with me. During the day, I went to the field to engage in production, and when I went home, I swept the floor and fed the pigs. I have time to take me to learn culture, and I also drove my mother to make clothes. Her mother asked her if she was bitter, and she said that she was very happy if she was not bitter or bitter. If you want to ask her which one she is, she is a good aunt who has been sent down......"

Su Yun, Qiaoyun and the young boys and girls who were watching all sang along with the four of them, making the tense atmosphere of struggle relaxed and funny, and the onlookers all leaned back and fell back with laughter. She Wenfang and Yu Yueyue were also teased by them and laughed to tears, She Wenfang scolded with a smile, "Little bastard, there are so many bad ideas." ”

Zhou Kun's face turned pale with anger, and he was a dignified political captain, and he couldn't even put a few teenage hairy dolls on the table. Such a serious class struggle has been turned into a farce by these few dead mustaches, how can they lead the masses of the people to carry out a movement? But after all, it's a child, what should I do?

He was in a dilemma, awkwardly thinking about a good strategy, when he suddenly saw Yu Xinhe and Yu Xinmin, both standing in the crowd of onlookers with their arms crossed. And several of their eldest sons, such as Yu Songlu, Yu Songjiu, Yu Songming, etc., all stood behind their father. He knew very well that if he really let the militia hurt these hairy boys, Boss Yu and Boss Yu would never give up.

In Yujia Village, he is an outsider after all. Although he has the power, he never dares to do things too much.

So, he shouted: "Boss Yu, Boss Yu, don't care about your lawless dead mustache, don't blame me for being rude!" Yu Xinhe just looked at him expressionlessly, and ignored him.

Yu Songyuan's father's attitude made Yu Songyuan deeply encouraged, he asked "Fat Dun" to break off a few large green bricks from the pigsty wall, the four brothers each held one in their hands, stood up and walked on horseback, and shouted in unison "Hey, hey", Yu Songyuan stretched out his tender little palm, and first cut the green brick in his left hand, and the green brick broke into two halves in response. Then, he opened his bow left and right, and split the green bricks held by the other three people.

The villagers who were watching in front of the door all cheered, and Su Yun, Qiaowen, etc., all screamed and coaxed.

Today's disaster is obviously a bit big. Below, the young Yu Songyuan didn't know how to end. After all, sports are not a joke, and he turned his eyes to his father for help.

At this time, the little aunt She Wenxiu tugged at the corner of Yu Xinhe's clothes, and Yu Xinhe said to Zhou Kun: "Old Zhou, the professor has been sick with a cold, and Lao Chen is not lightly ill, and the two of them almost can't survive this winter." Folks in the township, in the future, snow clearing, I don't think they will go. ”

Everyone listened quietly to Yu Xinhe's words, "Don't these stinky boys think that they are very capable and capable of fighting, then good, in the future, you will let them be punished instead of the professor and Teacher Chen, and accept the re-education of the poor middle peasants, which is also to strengthen the transformation of the children's outlook on life and shijie, so wouldn't it be the best of both worlds." ”

Zhou Kun was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood. This is Boss Yu giving himself steps, why don't you hurry up and get off the donkey? So he immediately said, "This idea is good, this idea is good, just follow Boss Yu's method." ”

He turned his head again and said to Yu Songyuan and them majestically, "You little bastards, today's mistake is serious, I think you are young and ignorant, and the people are not as knowledgeable as you. From today onwards, instead of the professor and Mr. Chen, you will participate in voluntary labor with the 'four types of elements' and accept the education and transformation well. After saying that, he took those few waste militiamen, squeezed out of the crowd, and walked away.

A criticism meeting that had been notified finally ended without a hitch under the stalking and nonsense of Yu Songyuan and his brothers. This is the first time in the history of Yujia Village.

Why should we be reformed by labor? Yu Songyuan originally wanted to refute, and even wanted to scold, "You old pervert should accept labor reform!" But Yu Xinhe seemed to understand his thoughts, his eyes glared at him fiercely, and he finally held back his words, like a deflated ball, feeling bored. Because, he felt that his heroic performance, to achieve such a result, the effect was too unsatisfactory.

The two hands of flying eaves and walking on the wall and breaking the blue bricks shocked everyone at once.

These militiamen are actually honest peasants, Zhou Kun doesn't look at the usual rampant and domineering, in fact, he is a rural ruffian who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard. He had only heard of these kung fu in "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", "Yang Jiajiang", "The Biography of Yue Fei" and other commentaries before, but he had never seen the real one, and he was naturally shocked.

So, from then on, the "Four Brothers of the Yu Family" became famous, and the children who fought in groups in eight villages in ten miles all walked around the village. Even adults, no one takes the initiative to provoke them, and even takes the initiative to give them three points.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Yu Songyuan's mother and Yu Yueyue dared to open the door. Brother Yu Xinhe and some villagers went into the house to visit the professor together, and asked everyone to sit down in Yueyue. Yu Songyuan and a few close friends also walked in after cleaning up the front of the door.

When they sang "Good Aunt" in unison, the professor had already woken up, she had already woken up, and he had heard the conversation outside just now. Yu Yueyue told her about rescuing her and Teacher Chen in the past few days, and the professor was in tears and sobbing.

Shu Tong walked over painfully and hugged his grandmother who was leaning on the head of the bed, and also shed tears with him. Yu Xinhe sat in front of the bed, and after giving the professor a pulse, he said, "Professor, don't be too sad, keep warm, and don't freeze again." The brazier is more prosperous, and in a few days, I am afraid it should be fine. ”

The professor said with tears in his eyes: "Boss Yu, Boss Yu, it's too xiexie." Without you brothers, my old bones would have been handed over to this heavy snow this year. ”

Wang Feng also said with tears in his eyes, "Fortunately, thanks to the prescription prescribed by Brother Yu, Brother Yu braved the heavy snow in the middle of the night to go to the county seat to get medicine, and Lao Chen finally survived." ”

Yu Xinhe said, "Don't see each other too much, don't dare to thank our brothers for this, just thank Shu Tong and Chen Lan of your two families." It was the four of them who protected you with their little fists. The professor touched his grandson's head lovingly, with tears in his eyes, and choked speechlessly. Wang Feng also held Chen Lan in his arms, and he didn't love enough.

The professor suddenly sat up straight on the bed and said solemnly, "Boss Yu, Elder Yu, your two brothers are benevolent and righteous people. I have something to trust today, please don't shirk it. ”

Yu Xinhe sat up straight, "Professor, please speak!" ”

"Lao Chen and I are both guilty of crimes, and the day is precarious, and I don't know when I will let go."

The professor took a sip of water and said, "Since the decentralization, I am fortunate that you two brothers have helped me to survive until now. I'm old, and Lao Chen is terminally ill. Especially us, the three orphans and widows, have no tomorrow today, and I don't know if we can get through it. If I have any accidents with Yueyue, Lao Chen and Wang Feng, please brothers and sisters, you must raise Shu Tong, Chen Lan, and Xiaojing as adults! ”

Speaking of this, the professor, Yu Yueyue and Wang Feng were all crying.

All kinds of experiences and bitterness since decentralization have come to their hearts, making them sad and making them really unable to see the future and hope. She Wenfang and She Wenxiu, two sisters, also accompanied them to tears, and kept comforting the professor, Yu Yueyue, and Wang Feng. Many villagers in the room also accompanied them to tears.

The professor said solemnly to Shu Tong, Chen Lan and Chen Jing, "You three children, kneel down and kowtow to your two godfathers now!" From now on, you are their children, a member of the Yu family, no matter how high the mountains and rivers are, how dangerous the road is, you two godfathers will always be a big mountain, and you will be the only one to rely on in times of crisis! ”

Shu Tong was very sensible, he whined and cried, set up the two stools, and invited Yu Xinhe, Yu Xinmin and his wife to sit down on the stools. Then he pulled Chen Lan and Chen Jing, and the three children stood side by side, facing Yu Xinhe and Yu Xinmin, knelt down solemnly, and kowtowed three times respectfully.

……

From this day on, Shu Tong, Chen Tian, and Chen Jing officially became the righteous sons and daughters of Yu Xinhe and Yu Xinmin, and Zhou Kun and others did not come to them again. This big family, which is composed of four families, has also survived the biggest crisis since Yu Yueyue and Wang Feng were decentralized, and the smiles slowly returned to the faces of the two of them.

The difficult winter finally passed slowly, and the sky gradually became less cold. The health of the professor and Mr. Chen, as the temperature rose, miraculously slowly improved. But the brothers Yu Xinhe and Yu Xinmin still regularly checked their pulse and continued to take the decoction for a period of time.

The winter in northern Jiangsu is extremely cold, and the temperature rises quickly in spring. Since April, Yu Yueyue and Wang Feng, who have been relieved, have begun to make their vegetable gardens prosperous, and the melons, fruits, vegetables, beans and seedlings are full of vitality. The trees in front of the door and the fence of the vegetable garden are full of gourd seedlings. On the roadside and along the ditch, they planted pumpkins, watermelons, and vegetable melons. They even helped and guided She Wenfang and She Wenxiu to grow vegetables scientifically, which is a bit surprising.

They were also smart women, and the embarrassment of not being thrifty when they first moved to the countryside soon became history, and the advantages of intellectual women were slowly revealed. Planting vegetables, melons, fruit trees, and even the wheat in their own fields began to grow like them, tender and tender, delicate and spiritual.

By the time everything recovers and spring blossoms, the professor's body has basically healed and he can walk outdoors by himself. Mr. Chen's coughing up blood has gradually improved due to the careful care of the Yu Xinhe brothers.

What makes them even more comfortable is that because Yu Xinhe and Yu Xinmin's brothers accepted Shu Tong and Chen Lan as their righteous sons, several families have really become a family, and those who beat the widow Yu Yueyue's idea are completely dead. There are fewer people wandering around the avenue next to the house, and the inexplicable sound of knocking on the window of Yu Yueyue's east room at night has never appeared again.

By the time of the summer harvest, Yu Xinmin, as the leader of the sixth squad, was busy organizing the wheat harvest. The team produced hundreds of acres of wheat with an average yield of more than 400 catties per mu, all of which reached the standard of "Shangjiao" (note, 400 catties per mu), and carried back the commune's advanced red flag of grain production.

It turned out that before the spring sowing of the year before the Great Front, in view of the habit of extensive planting of field crops in northern Jiangsu, the professor made suggestions to Yu Xinmin after reading and summarizing the experience of various places, suggesting that the habit of sowing and planting wheat should be changed, and the method of centralized planting and phased fertilization should be adopted in ridges and branches. It can not only increase ventilation and light transmission, but also promote tillering and improve yield.

Yu Xinmin carried out shiyan in the self-reserved land of the four families the year before last, and sure enough, the yield per mu increased by 1/2 to 1/3. This is terrible, the whole team of more than 400 acres of wheat, if all of them are improved so much, they will all be "on the outline", and some good plots can even cross the "Yellow River" (note, the yield per mu is 600 catties), after handing over the public grain, the remaining grain in the whole village is definitely enough to eat, and I am afraid of a spring famine.

Therefore, when planting spring wheat at the end of last year, the sixth team completely followed the professor's suggestion and carried out trial planting in all the more than 600 acres of wheat fields of the whole team. When Zhou Jianguo, secretary of the brigade, heard the letter, he was greatly surprised and immediately brought people to sum up the experience. It was decided to start next year and promote it throughout the brigade.

Zhou Jianguo is a vigorous and resolute grassroots cadre, who will do what he says.

Sure enough, from the second year onwards, it was generally extended to the whole brigade. In the third year, it was gradually extended to the whole commune and the whole county, so that the county's grain production has reached a great level, and all of them have reached the standard of "upper outline", becoming an advanced county in grain production in the province. The provincial newspaper also reported on the matter, but the reporter omitted the significant contribution of the professor, a "four-class element".

In this regard, Yu Xinmin was quite apologetic, and the professor who had experienced ups and downs naturally did not take it seriously, but just laughed it off. Of course, that's an afterthought.
