Lao Wu Tou is a farmer in Dawang Village, Shifu Management District, Longwu Town, and is 69 years old this year.

But the years of manual labor, wind and rain, made him look much older than his actual age.

It stands to reason that the elderly of this age in the countryside still have to do some farm work.

There is no way, the peasants facing the loess with their backs to the sky, digging food from the land, if you don't do it, where will the food come from?

Counting on the baby?

The children are already married, and each has its own difficulties.

Every month, his three sons give him 8 catties of rations, plus he grows some vegetables by himself, and his life can be okay.

Fortunately, my wife has left a few years ago, otherwise, the burden on the babies will be heavier.

I'm not afraid of hardship, but what I'm most afraid of is that I have to eat together.

The daughter-in-law's face is no longer good-looking, and sometimes she will call him old and immortal behind her back.

Alas, he's already done the math.

There were also people who were beaten by their sons and daughters-in-law, kicked to the ground, and did not dare to speak out.

Some of the lonely old men and old ladies in the village, who were about the same age as him, went with a mouthful of pesticides.

Once a hundred, dust to dust to dust.

Give back the body to the land that gave birth to them.

He hasn't read any books, but since he was a child, he has heard people say that he should respect the old and love the young, but when he is old, he only sees the love of the young, but he doesn't see respect for the old!

Two years ago, there was something in my eyes, Bai Huahua couldn't see, and the quality of life was much worse than before.

Some people say it's cataract and they have to go to the hospital for surgery.

Just kidding, he lived for almost seventy years, that is, one year when he had a fever, he went to the village infirmary and got a few small pills, called paracetamol.

Hospital, where can people like them go?

On this day, after breakfast, he sat at the door and basked in the sun.

Suddenly, the door opened, and several people walked in.

Old Wu Tou was instinctively a little scared when he saw the living, but when he saw his eldest son following behind, he felt a little relieved.

"Uncle Wu, what's wrong with your eyes?" Said the lead man.

Old Wu couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"Hey, hey!" He didn't know what to say.

"This is the leader of the town, who specializes in helping the 65-year-old man in the village, aren't you a cataract? The village reported it to you a few days ago! The leaders of the town came down to visit today! "It was the village accountant who spoke.

"Hey, hey!"

"Dad, don't just hey, thank the government! It's all said, you are eligible for assistance, and the government will pay for your medical expenses! The eldest son said excitedly.

"Huh?"

Old Wu Tou doesn't believe it, there is such a good thing? Isn't this pie in the sky? Wouldn't lie?

"In addition to surgery, you don't have to pay a capitation fee every month in the future, and you can also receive fifty yuan of pension money!" Said the cadres in the town.

"Huh?!"

There is no money for farming, but also money, and the world is opened from Pangu, this is the first time!

Happiness came too suddenly, and Lao Wu didn't know how to believe it, just looking at his son's expression, it seemed to be true.

Admission, in the central hospital of the county.

He looked at everything around him like a child, it was amazing!

Surgery was scheduled soon.

After the operation, the moment he opened his eyes, it was as if he had been given a new lease of life.

When I returned to the village, I saw that the road surface was hardening, and the tap water at home was also being installed, as if I had just come back to the taste, and the old tears were ruffled, and my mouth muttered: "The party's policy is good, the party's policy is good!" Thanks to the party, thanks to the government! ”

Walked out the door and lit a cigarette, he hadn't gone out in the sun for a long time, his eyes couldn't see, and he didn't dare to come out.

Now, he wants to take a good look at the world.

"Sanyazi, what are you doing running so fast?" Old Wu Tou stopped a little child.

"Second grandfather, I'm going to school."

"You're not going to herd the cows?"

Old Wu asked strangely.

He remembered that the three boys stopped studying last year, the first year of junior high school.

His parents are disabled, and his sister is alone, so she can't afford it.

It's a pity for this kid.

I heard that I was very smart, and I took the first place in the back exam.

"There is a new policy in the town, not only does school not charge tuition, but also books and miscellaneous fees! If it's particularly difficult, you can also send money! I told my sister and she told me to go to school again! I'm going to go to university in the future! The three men said loudly, their eyes flashing.

The three boys ran to school, and today was his favorite history lesson.

The teacher is a very energetic young man, named Hong Liang, who just graduated from college last year, and his lectures are very exciting.

"Students, the Communist Party led the people to overthrow the three mountains and won the victory of the New Democratic Revolution, and since then, the people have stood up!"

"After the reform and opening up, the economy is developing rapidly, life is changing with each passing day, and the pace of the party leading the people to a well-off life is getting faster and faster! The people must become rich! ”

"Do you know what we're going to do in the future?" Hong Liang stopped.

No one answered.

"That's to get stronger! Realize the great rejuvenation of the nation and reshape the glory and glory of the past! That day will not be far away! ”

"How is it not exciting to look at the great feats that the party has led the people to achieve that have attracted worldwide attention? Children, you live in a great era, and you must not live up to it! ”

The loud words planted a small seed in the hearts of the children.

The seed grows bigger and bigger until it becomes a towering tree!

After class, Xiao Wu from the office hurriedly ran over and said, "Teacher Hong, go to the principal's office, there is something urgent." ”

When Hong Liang found the principal, the principal seemed very excited.

"Xiaohong, there's a call from the town, and I'm going to transfer you to work in the teaching office!"

"Huh? How so? ”

For an ordinary small town middle school teacher, being able to work in the teaching office can be regarded as changing the future and destiny!

That's a trap!

This step is big and must have a very hard relationship!

But Hong Liang asked himself, he has nothing to do with it!

Could it be the principal's recommendation?

For him, a rare college student, the old principal has always taken good care of him.

"Leaders know people! I heard that Secretary Liang in the town saw the article you wrote, and he appreciated it greatly, and immediately made a decision! Good job, young man, the future is yours! In the future, you have become the leader of the teaching office, but you have to take good care of our school! ”

Hong Liang was stunned, and a sentence echoed in his mind: "Great era!" ”
