Chapter 135: Things from the Past

After my aunt and I stood on the terrier for a while, we saw that my father and grandfather had already carried the stool into the water, and then we also carried the stool over. After a night of soaking, the ground has become much softer. I plucked a few seedlings and tried them, but it was very good. Dad threw the straw into the water and kicked it at me. I brought it over, pressed it into the water for a while, and then picked it up and threw it on the rice in front of me. Because the straw is too dry, it will not break when you have to wet some water to plant the seedlings, but it is not good to soak in water for a long time.

The five of us started to raise seedlings, but my uncle didn't stay here because he had to watch the machine refill water and refuel from time to time. But even the four of them rose up quickly. At eight or nine o'clock, the sun began to get hotter and hotter, and my uncle came over and urged my grandfather to hurry back. But after he urged him several times, Grandpa got up and went back at ten o'clock.

However, although grandpa is not young, his body is very tough. There is no such old state as an eighty-year-old man should have, but an unusually straight waist, although he does not walk like a fly, but he is not far behind the average young man.

Grandpa's good health is mostly related to the fact that he has joined the army before. I remember my grandfather said that he had also been on the battlefield, and he had touched foreign guns and cannons. Although he did not participate in any large-scale battles, he did participate in some small-scale battles. He had shot, but he had never killed anyone, and he had not made any military achievements. The company to which he belonged belonged to the kind of backup, and he joined the army relatively late, and it did not take long for the People's Republic of China to be formed. Not long after, his unit was disbanded and reorganized, and he and some of his comrades left or stayed. Until now, contact has been largely lost.

But even so, grandpa still has the most basic qualities of being a soldier. Because of the strict training at that time, my grandfather's body has always been very healthy.

"And what did my dad do when he was younger?" When my grandfather left, I suddenly became interested in my father's past because of what I had just recalled, so I chased after him and asked.

Dad didn't expect me to ask him that all of a sudden, so he was stunned for a moment and then boasted to me, "Your dad, what didn't I do when I was young?" I've done everything! As soon as he finished speaking, I was listening curiously, when my uncle next to me interjected, "Listen, your dad is going to start blowing for you!" When he said this, my aunt and I and my father were all happy. I think it's funny for my uncle to interject, and my aunt and I guess it's the same. But Dad's smile was not a charm, so he heard him say, "I blow? You didn't know where I was when I was born. You don't even know about 60 years......"

"Then we really don't know." Uncle nodded, a rare time without arguing with Dad. I was a little curious, so I asked, "What year is '60?" ”

"Sixty was a year of famine, and people were starving to death, and there was nothing ......to eat," said my father, and I wondered. Don't have anything to eat? Why is there nothing to eat? Don't you grow food in so many lands? I asked my father, and he said, "The lake is full of food, but you can't eat it...... "Why?" I asked, "The lake is full of grain, why can't I eat it?" Don't you give it to eat? ”

"If you give it food, can you starve so many people to death?" Dad said, I don't understand, if you have food, don't you eat? Watching people starve to death?

"In those two years, the whole country was engaged in * and natural disasters, and the grain could not be produced much catty per mu, and local officials even made false reports. In the end, all the grain will not be able to reach the output of 10,000 catties! Dad said, "If you don't have food to eat, you can only eat grass roots and tree bark, but can that compare to food?" How many people starved to death in the end...... "He sighed deeply as he spoke. I still don't understand, what does Dad have to do with false food reporting? When my uncle heard me ask, he said, "* It is an ultra-leftist line movement launched by the Communist Party of China throughout the country. He called on the whole party and the people of the whole country to strive to catch up with Britain and surpass the United States within 15 years. Didn't you take a history class in junior high school? I shook my head and said no. The uncle said, "Eighty percent can only be learned in the second year of junior high school." Then he briefly told me about it, and I thought it was incredible after listening to it. Can a pig be bigger than an elephant? Turnips to be pulled by oxcarts? Tens of thousands of pounds of grain? How is this possible? It's not a fairy thing anymore. Then I looked at my dad, and I also felt that he was dying, and he didn't starve to death in 60. I was about to ask when I heard my aunt say that the old man was coming, and when I looked back, I saw my grandfather carrying a basket to bring us food.
