"We should bring our children to this black land......"

Zhang Guoqing, who was returning from the journey, looked out of the car window and was silent for a long time, and after a long time, he spit out this half sentence to his wife.

Like him, Zhou Jiao can't tell the shock in her heart. In just three days, after leaving Sijiu City, she really felt what patriotism is.

She saw with her own eyes the desire of those young people to return to their hometown, but she also saw the kind of innocence they had when they threw themselves into this black land without hesitation.

This spiritual journey left the couple no longer had time to wander elsewhere, and a little more idle wandering seemed to be condemned by their conscience.

Compared with their generation, they are still too self-righteous in the end.

This feeling of saying it was not until their hometown that their mood slowly recovered, especially when they saw their three sons busy on the ground against the blazing sun......

"Mom and Dad, we helped."

"Mom and Dad, we've been doing this for days, isn't it?"

Zhang Guoqing threw down his luggage, stretched out his arm and hugged the three sons who came over with one hand, and looked at the three little faces that were tanned and peeled in distress.

Everyone has value in the world, doesn't he?

He still has to keep going.

Zhou Jiao gave the children a thumbs up, smiled, and greeted the fathers and villagers who came together.

"Coming back? Okay, well, the three children are well taught, they are the species of our old Zhang family, and they are not squeamish at all in the city. Your family will go back first. ”

The old captain smiled like a flower, and after praising it, he urged the big guy to start working in a hurry.

Zhang Guoqing saw his mother on the side, threw away the backpack on his body, took a towel and left, "Jiaojiao, you and your mother go home first, I'll do some work first." ”

Zhou Jiao knew that he couldn't be idle, nodded with a smile, and saw that her sons were still young and kept looking at his father, she didn't stop it, and waved her hand to let them go.

After a while, everyone left, and Zhou Jiao complained: "Mother, why do you also work in the field, what should you do if you suffer from heat stroke?" The kids are older, so you can just let them go. ”

Mother Zhang kept holding her little daughter-in-law's hand, reluctantly looking at the old son and grandchildren who ran away, and said with a smile: "It's okay, my mother is watching from the side." ”

"Have you seen it, our family is safe, their little hands are blistered, why do you think they are so honest with Xiao Wu? I told them to do it a little bit, ouch, not to stare at it. ”

Zhou Jiao stared at her three sons just now, how could she not know? But since the children have a beginning, she doesn't want the children to give up halfway, which is why she didn't show a distressed look in front of people.

Outside, she hopes that her sons will learn to do everything from beginning to end, to know what it means to do what they can, and to understand what real farm work is.

What is the little farm work that usually takes them to the suburbs of Beijing to experience? Compared with the endless black soil of the Great Northern Wilderness, this is not real farm work.

"Why did you lose so much weight, starving, right? My mother will mix cold noodles for you, add more cucumber shreds, you like to eat. May Day is up to you, you can eat a big bowl every time. ”

"I just like my mother's craft."

Zhou Jiao didn't tell that she actually had grown meat. There is a kind of love, that is, no matter how round you are, in the eyes of those who feel sorry for you, you are thin.

Zhang's mother smiled happily, "The three brothers of Ping An also said so. Jiaojiao, you don't know how fun they are, when they first came, they slipped with those red soldiers in the county seat, that is amazing. If it weren't for your father's concern that the children would have run away with those wild boys, we would still be in the city. ”

"It's still Dad who can see far, amazing!"

"What's the matter, my little grandson can't work again. I saw that your father just wanted to go to the village to help, just to make excuses. ”

"Hahaha, that means my dad is good at educating children. Don't feel sorry for them, they're smart, and they'll run back when they're tired. ”

Mother Zhang glanced at her angrily, but she was extremely happy in her heart. Her Jiaojiao is different from such a little daughter-in-law, what children and mothers have seen, you can't say that you have wronged your grandchildren.

The small courtyard is still very clean, and the fruit trees in the front and back yards have really been treated, which is a pity, but the fruits of the vegetable garden also make up for this regret.

There is a faint smell of wormwood in the air in the house, and looking at the kang mat and bed, I also know that the child's grandmother must be here to accompany the children during this time.

"You wash first, wait until you eat and then go to sleep for a while, have you been to the city before?"

Zhou Jiao shook her head and took the basin, "No, there happened to be a nearby production team ox cart in the county seat, so we came back directly, and my brother said that you should be in the village." ”

"It's still my old son who is smart. In the city, you have to weigh every word, the cat winter will be better, on a hot day, there are many people in front of our house every day, or the people in the village are sincere. ”

Listening to the meaning of the words, there must have been something unpleasant before, Zhou Jiao didn't ask in detail, just go back and find peace, the little guy should inquire about it.

"Mother, when we came back just now, why did we see that the big guy was more enthusiastic than in previous years?"

Mother Zhang stretched her neck to look outside, and whispered, "You don't know this." This year, there were five soldiers in the village, they didn't know that the conditions in our village were good, and the children were selected because they were strong, and they thought that the top was on the face of the little five. I explained it to your father, but they still don't believe it. ”

"Oh, that's right, I'll just say it's weird."

"What's strange, there are so many things you don't know yet, your father is not good at writing in the letter, if the letter doesn't reach you, outsiders will not be able to say that our family is stinky and look back."

"The year before last, it was not only in the city, but also in the village. There was a young man in the red heart production team a few hundred miles away, but he just said the wrong word, and he was beaten by PI, and later he hanged himself;

There is also a family in the team next door, after the little daughter-in-law of the family finished the needlework, she casually inserted the needle on the wall, just inserted in the eyes of the person who pasted the painting, and was reported by the child who came to her house to play. ”

Zhou Jiao really didn't expect so many things to happen in her hometown, but it's not surprising when you think about it carefully. Nowadays, class struggle is the mainstay, and there are also Red Soldier organizations in the countryside.

"In our team, the wife is peaceful, nothing happens. But you know why not? What a good person your third grandfather is, as soon as he saw that something was wrong in the city, he hung your pennant, as well as the photos of you and Xiao Wu and the chairman, in the office of the team, and even those red soldiers had to be polite first. ”

Zhou Jiao smiled dumbly, worthy of the old captain she knew!
