Chapter 1: Stealing
In 1969, Zhang Guangming was in his thirties, a talent, thick eyebrows and big eyes, thin and thin, with a straight backbone, he was not only handsome and chic, but also upright, open-minded and generous, and helpful.
Because his father's leg was broken, he deliberately asked for leave to go home to visit relatives.
On this day, he had just picked up six buckets of water into the vat.
My mother was picking up the weeds in the yard, feeding the chickens, ducks and geese, grabbing a handful of yellowed grass, throwing it on the ground, and saying, "Bright, you can rest for a while." ”
The chickens, ducks and geese scattered in all directions, as soon as they saw the weeds on the ground, fluttered their wings, and rushed over to eat.
"I'm not tired, my father's leg is broken, I can't work these days, I have to take on all the housework!"
The mother listened to her son's words and smiled with relief, but then frowned and said, "Now the people in our village are running out of food, even the wild vegetables are almost gone, and they are in dire straits, if you can transfer the job back......"
Zhang Guangming was taken aback, "What? Now the villagers' lives are so miserable? ”
He fell into deep thought.
Xinxiang is his hometown, and he has deep feelings. However, Xinxiang and Heze are friendly areas, and Xinxiang sent dozens of their agricultural technicians to Heze, first, to guide them in planting cotton, and second, to research new varieties of high-quality and high-yield agriculture there, so as to help solve the problem of food and clothing for the people in Heze area.
He had developed new varieties of maize and cotton with high yields, and if he were to be relocated, it would inevitably affect the friendly relations between the two regions.
But as an agricultural technician, he should save the villagers from fire and water......
He's really in a dilemma.
When the mother saw that her eldest son was very embarrassed, she shook her head and sighed and said, "Then who will save our villagers?" ”
Zhang Guangming decided to visit the old branch secretary first, and it just so happened that he came back this time to bring a bottle of royal jelly to the old branch secretary.
As soon as Zhang Guangming walked out of the street door of his parents' house, he saw Yin Jixiang, the son of Yin Zhaogen, a neighbor on the wall, pushing a dilapidated bicycle with a ball of seedlings in the basket, and entered the house in a panic.
When he walked further, he saw Zhang Guangda, the director and accountant of the county No. 1 middle school, and his wife, running out of the house to look around.
Zhang Guangda's mother, Zhang Wang, was scolding at the door of Zhang Guangqian's neighbor next door: "Just now, which three hands stole my family's bicycle, sweet potato seedlings, and rape seedlings?" ”
He saw Zhang Guangqian's mother and son blushing angrily, and they came out with Qiang Qiang, and they quarreled with Zhang Wang's family.
Neighbors came out of their homes to see the excitement.
As soon as he saw it, he immediately turned back and came to the door of Yin Zhaogen'er's house, and saw Lao Yin's eldest daughter Yin Daniu running to the door, and his sister Yin Qimei followed behind her sister.
As soon as the sisters saw Zhang Guangming, they said, "Uncle Zhang, go and save my mother!" ”
He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with your mother?" ”
Yin Daniu said: "My mother fainted with hunger. Then he said to his sister, "Hurry up and go to the field and call back our father, grandfather, and grandmother." ”
Yin Qimei agreed and ran out.
Zhang Guangming immediately went into Brother Yin's house, Yin Jixiang was hugging his mother and crying: "Mom, I brought you seedlings with green leaves and green stems, and I will boil porridge for you to drink, you wake up quickly!" ”
But his mother's face was pale and she still didn't open her eyes.
Among the people who pinched Yin's sister-in-law, Yin Jixiang's mother finally woke up.
She said weakly, "Thank you for saving me." ”
Zhang Guangming turned around and went back to his mother's house, and told his father and mother about the situation of Brother Yin's wife, and his mother immediately put a bowl of cooked corn porridge and handed it to the eldest son, and his father also put the sorghum flour steamed buns in his hand and asked the eldest son to send them to Jixiang's mother quickly.
Zhang Guangming took the things and returned to Yin Jixiang's house, and asked Yin Daniu to quickly feed the food to her frail mother.
Then he said to Yin Jixiang, "Nephew, you push the bicycle, take these seedlings with me, and go and return them to others." ”
Yin Jixiang said: "I didn't mean to steal Grandma Zhang's bicycle, and these seedlings, I want to ......."
Zhang Guangming led Yin Jixiang, and when he was about to walk to the door of Zhang Guangda's house, he heard the angry quarrel between the two parties.
Zhang Guangqian's mother, Song Qiuju, asked loudly: "Guangda Niang, you have been facing the gate of my house twice for three days, scolding and saying, 'Which three hands came to my house to steal things?' Aren't you afraid that I will sue him to the police station? What do you mean by that?
You see how easy it is for my orphans and widows to bully......"
Zhang Guangming immediately asked Yin Jixiang: "Your grandmother Zhang said that his family has lost things more than once, did you steal them?" ”
"I didn't steal it alone, and ...... And ......" Yin Jixiang is a stammering mouth.
"Oh, so you still have an accomplice?" Zhang Guangming asked him to name his accomplices, but he just kept silent.
When the two of them got closer, they saw that Zhang Wangshi was like crazy, raised his slap, and slapped Zhang Guangqian's left and right cheeks a few times.
Zhang Guangming hurriedly shouted: "Auntie, you have wronged Brother Zhang Guangqian!" ”
Zhang Wang's saw that what Yin Jixiang was pushing was her family's lost bicycle, as well as rape seedlings and sweet potato seedlings.
Suddenly, she was extremely embarrassed, and immediately she was at a loss, and her face was red to the root of her ears.
"I said I didn't steal it, I just don't believe it." Zhang Guangqian's two hands immediately covered his red and swollen face that was slapped by Aunt Zhang and said.
His mother was crying, and at the same time rubbing her son's red and swollen face with slap marks, both mother and son were crying bitterly, looking bullied and aggrieved.
Zhang Wang looked at Yin Jixiang, and said angrily: "Oh, it turned out that Yin Jixiang, you bad boy, stole my family's bicycle and these seedlings."
See if I don't kill you! ”
With a hot temper, she scolded, and at the same time, she pounced on Yin Jixiang like crazy, and raised her slap to slap her head and face.
Zhang Guangming and Zhang Guangda immediately dissuaded.
Zhang Guangda and his wife looked guilty on their faces, and immediately apologized to Zhang Guangqian, who was wiping his tears.
Zhang Wang turned her face to look at Zhang Guangqian, she was panting like a cow with a guilty expression, took Zhang Guangqian's hand and said, "Guangqian nephew, I'm sorry, it's all the aunt's fault for you." Don't hold a grudge against your aunt. ”
She patted her chest and said, "I've got your object!"
Auntie, I promise to introduce you to a capable and good daughter-in-law! ”
Zhang Guangqian lowered his head and nodded while wiping his tears.
Zhang Guangming blamed Zhang Wang and said: "Auntie, shouldn't you beat the innocent Zhang Guangqian indiscriminately?" ”
The crowd of onlookers all looked at Yin Jixiang with hatred.
Yin Jixiang said with a bitter face: "My mother is hungry and hungry......"
"Goose goose, duck duck!" Zhang Wang said hatefully.
Everyone present couldn't help but laugh.
"His mother fainted from hunger." Zhang Guangming hurriedly explained specifically for Yin Jixiang, "He took away those seedlings from your house to make a bowl of porridge for his hungry and fainted mother."
He pushed your bicycle away because he wanted to take her mother to the village clinic to see her mother. ”
