The fourth uncle did not heed the advice of the eldest uncle and fled with his wife to Zhejiang, where he was called "Jiangxi Yankee". It turned out that the eldest uncle was right, and when the policy was implemented later, no matter how hard the fourth uncle tried, he could not restore his identity, could not resume his work, and finally became a commoner.

The fourth uncle left the organization on his own initiative, and the suffering caused by this was quite great. Soon after fleeing to Zhejiang with his wife, his wife left him, taking a daughter with her, leaving behind two sons.

The place where he fled was in Ninghai County, Zhejiang Province, a place called Dajia River, behind the house was the sea, and the land that could be used for farming by the sea was scarce.

Therefore, the fourth uncle once took his son back to his hometown and burned charcoal in the mountains for a year in exchange for food rations. The eldest son, who was only seven or eight years old, fostered his third uncle's family for a year, and after the fourth uncle returned to Zhejiang, he fostered his grandmother for another year or two.

This cousin, I have a deep memory of this time, in his words, all the memories are one word - "bitter", grandma is very concerned about him, the most said is "there is grandma there is a mouthful of rice for you to eat", this bite of rice is porridge, it is difficult to see rice grains only soup.

Grandma is indeed full of love for this cousin, and often changes ways to find him delicious food, and then I realized that in front of my grandmother, the care and love we received are actually the same, and they are all her blood and flesh and blood that she can't give up.

Because of this experience, this cousin has a particularly deep affection for his hometown, and later enlisted in the army in Zhejiang and grew up to be an officer. When he wore a neat officer's uniform and went back to his hometown to visit his grandmother, it caused a sensation in his hometown, and everyone was proud of him.

I remember that it was the Spring Festival of 1985, I was only 12 years old, followed my father to my hometown, and met this cousin, wearing a dark green military coat, which was particularly powerful and shining with a military demeanor, which left an indelible impression on me. At that time, I had a yearning and thought that this was what I should be like in the future.

The happiest thing is, of course, the grandmother, who was on tiptoe with her three-inch feet wrapped in a footcloth, and was busy in and out on crutches, and when she crossed a high threshold, she accidentally tripped and broke a bone, which broke the ground and died a few months later.

After the eldest uncle arrived at the lead mountain sand dealer farm, in order to make a living, the second, third and fifth uncles all went to the farm to look for him, and he did his best to help, and all arranged for the farm transportation team to work.

The second and third uncles were already married, and the wages of the transport team were too small to support the family.

Grandpa has a younger sister, my name is my aunt, married to Huangjiazhou in Anyi County, opposite Songbu, and then I don't know why, I once remarried and moved to Yuxia, and settled down in Yuxia Agricultural Machinery Factory.

After remarrying, they gave birth to a son and a daughter, the daughter is a little older, both of them are younger than their father, I call them cousins and cousins. I grew up with my father and had a very close relationship.

My cousin's youngest daughter had just grown up and went to Lead Mountain to join her uncle, who was still generous and arranged to work in the art troupe on the farm.

During her work in the art troupe, she fell in love with a young man who lived in Yiyang Village, which is adjacent to Lead Mountain, and soon married the young man, and both left the art troupe and settled down in Yiyang Village.

After getting married, I gave birth to five boys one after another, and their lives in the countryside were as hard as my hometown, or even worse. My cousin once took his eldest son and lived at his aunt's house to earn a living for a while.

About eighty-four years, his eldest son used to revise at my house, but he didn't get into college. My second son grew up and served in the Navy for a few years, and soon after I joined the army, he retired and sent me some photos of his navy uniforms.

My third son was born in the same year as me, and he was admitted to the normal school and became a teacher. The fourth son was one year younger than me, was admitted to the police academy, and grew up to be a police station chief. The fifth son was admitted to the normal school, and after being a teacher for more than ten years, he was admitted to the judge and entered the county court.

Every year, they come to the bath to pay their respects, and sometimes they come to my house to play. Therefore, I have been in contact with me since I was a child, especially the fourth and fifth children, who are similar in age to me, have the most contact and have the closest relationship. After entering high school, they often wrote to each other.

My father implemented the policy and assigned him to teach at Yuxia Middle School, and the number of visits to my aunt's house began to increase, because her home is not far from the school, which is the only way for us to go to school, and we have more contact with them.

When I was studying in a military school, during a winter vacation, I once followed my cousin to Yiyang, a remote rural area, where a large family and several other families were crowded into an old house, and they could still be seen living in poverty at that time.

There is a small episode in this, it is said that the grandparents and aunts intended to let the cousin marry the father, I don't know if it was because after the father went to the family, he knew that the close relatives could not get married, or because of family changes, or other reasons, and finally it didn't work out.

My aunt and mother-in-law are the only ones around my cousin, and the family has been relatively embarrassed, until my cousin grows up, the family conditions are poor and I can't find a partner, and my mother has been busy introducing him to the object for a while, but because I dislike the family and the poor, none of them have negotiated, and I didn't marry a girl from a nearby farmer until I was in my thirties.

When the traffic is inconvenient, even if the lead mountain is adjacent to Yiyang, whether it is to visit the eldest uncle or the cousin's house to play, it is just to visit one family and return, until there is a private car, will go to the two at the same time.

Remembering the selfless help of the eldest uncle, every time my cousin accompanied us to visit the eldest uncle, we always saw him stuffing money for the eldest uncle and the eldest uncle for hundreds of hundreds.

The eldest uncle never shirked, never reached out to pick it up, let him stuff, crossed his hands and ten fingers on the lower abdomen, his expression remained unchanged, he still smiled, his body would not move, looking at the people around him, he didn't seem to see money and things in his eyes, only history, only changes, only his classic quote "Everything looks forward".
