Stargirl's guide to life in the 70s

Chapter 352: Night Visit to the Farm 3

Although Yu Jiang's words were not very pleasant to the ear, they were truly for their own good.

Zhang Tong's parents did not have such concerns: "You don't have to think so badly. The people who are with us are all pitiful people, none of them are evil.

As an uncle, I cannot ask you to do anything, but if possible, I would still like to ask you to bring something for them.

You don't have to worry about money."

Since Mr. Zhang said so, Yu Jiang did not refuse. After all, it didn't matter whether he took one person or several people, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Okay, now that we have confirmed that those people are going to help, it is obvious that the things Yu Jiang brought before are not enough.

At this time, the two had already walked back to the front of the car. Zhang's mother was still in the car, staring at the letter Zhang Tong had given her, while trying to calm her overly excited mood today.

Seeing Yu Jiang coming over, Zhang's mother quickly put away the letter in her hand and apologized to Lian Jiang, "I'm sorry, Xiao Yu, it's all because of Auntie talking too much. Did I keep you waiting for a long time?"

Yu Jiang smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I don't have anything to do anyway. I just went to the river to fish while you were talking."

Yu Jiang pointed to the bucket in his hand and said, "We have a good harvest today. Uncle and aunt, you can bring some back later. It will be good as a snack."

Zhang Tong's parents knew about his current difficult situation in life, so they did not refuse too much and accepted Yu Jiang's kindness.

"Most of the things I brought for you this time are food, and there are also some daily necessities, clothes and so on. Considering that dressing too well may attract attention from others, and it is still quite hot now, everyone is wearing thin clothes, so I didn't bring too many clothes for you.

As for winter clothes, your daughter-in-law is already helping to prepare them. They are all made of new cotton. When the time comes, make the clothes look a little old, patch them up, and I'll bring them to you. It won't be easy for you to be spotted wearing them outside in the winter."

Zhang Tong's parents never expected that their winter clothes and quilts would be taken care of by this daughter-in-law whom they had never met.

"This... I just talked so much on the phone, but Xiao He didn't mention it!"

Although Zhang Tong's parents said this, there was no complaint in their tone.

Not only did their daughter-in-law not despise their current status, she also took the trouble to prepare things for them and asked friends from far away to take care of them.

This alone is enough to make Zhang Tong's parents truly accept He Zhile as their daughter-in-law.

Yu Jiang led Zhang Tong's parents around to the back of the car and opened the trunk: "Uncle and aunt, let me help you take the things back this time!"

As he spoke, Yu Jiang picked up one of the two packages in her trunk, which was the food she had put in there separately today.

Father Zhang was a step slower and only grabbed the package that Zhang Tong sent to them.

Zhang's mother was the slowest and weakest, so she was only allowed to carry a few fish.

In the dark, the three of them groped their way to Zhang Tong's parents' "home" on the farm.

This time they intended to wake up the others, so they did not walk lightly, but instead deliberately made some noise.

Amid the commotion, the first people to wake up were an elderly couple who were not very sleepy. They put on tattered clothes and pushed open the door of their room and walked out. What caught the eye were the large and small bags in the hands of Zhang's father and mother!

At the same time, there was an extremely beautiful but unfamiliar girl standing next to them!!!

This……

Before the old couple could ask, the doors of the two rooms next door opened.

Everyone looked at each other, and their sleepiness disappeared instantly...

After confirming that Yu Jiang was the person brought back by Zhang's father and mother, the others felt relieved.

After a while, everyone sat down at the only intact table in the room.

Zhang's father and mother briefly introduced Yu Jiang to the others, but they only said that Yu Jiang was asked to bring some things for them, and did not fully explain their relationship.

Yu Jiang also took this opportunity to take a good look at the people present.

Several of them looked obviously depressed after being tortured by life.

Among them, the old couple, as former aristocrats, were the first group of people to be demoted.

Even though less than ten years had passed since they first came to the farm, the two men, who were less than sixty years old, already looked like people in their seventies or eighties.

Perhaps they had already lost hope of returning to the city safely after years of hardship, and the reason they were still alive until now was only because they were still holding on and were unwilling to die so easily.

However, no matter what their goal in living is, Yu Jiang can't help but admire their perseverance in being able to persist in such a life for nearly ten years.

And judging from the first impression, Yu Jiang had a pretty good impression of them and was willing to help them.

"So the little girl will send us food and supplies later?"

Several people were obviously a little suspicious, but when they saw the things that Yu Jiang and his team had just brought in placed on the ground, they dispelled their doubts.

Maybe the girl really has the ability to help them? !

Sure enough, Yu Jiang's words "she has a car" finally convinced them.

Have a car? !

What does it mean to have a car in this era? It means that you are a person with a lot of money, status and contribution!

Although I still don’t know the background of the girl in front of me, one thing is very clear: this person is not simple!

"You don't have to feel troubled or embarrassed. I'm bringing it for Uncle Zhang and the others anyway. It doesn't matter if I bring one extra portion.

I just hope that you can keep my existence a secret because I have helped you all.”

Everyone nodded and promised, and almost swore an oath to show their position.

After the premise was agreed upon, Yu Jiang took out a pen and paper from his backpack and handed them four copies: "Write down everything you need. I will buy it for you when I come to deliver things in half a month."

Everyone took the paper and pen, but at this moment they remembered a question, and they looked at each other, unable to write for a while.

"Little comrade, you helped us carry things, we can't take advantage of you for nothing, but we have been sent down for so long, and most of the money we have is used up.

We know our request is unreasonable, but can the money for buying things be exchanged for something else?"

The person who said this was the former factory director who was demoted, and he was not just talking about himself. When they were demoted, although the incident happened suddenly, they still tried their best to pack up the money or valuables they could take with them, hid them secretly, and took them to the place where they were demoted.

Although the way to carry things is really hard to describe... but in a place like a farm, if you have some money, you won't be helpless when you encounter any problems.

However, after all, they have been relocated for so many years, and have only spent money with no income, and now they don’t have much money left.

But they just asked this question. If Yu Jiang only charged money, they would just buy less.

Yu Jiang could guess their situation without much explanation.

Forget it, I’ve already helped, so at worst I can help more!

"You don't have to give me the money for the purchase now, or anything else. I can write you an IOU. If one day you can get your rights rehabilitated, you can give it to me when you are able."

Hearing this, not only the other five people, but even Zhang's father and mother were shocked: Isn't Yu Jiang doing charity?

They said they would return the money when they were able to, but who knows how long they will stay in this shabby place? After so many years, they themselves don’t think they will be able to see the light of day again!

If there is no redress, the money will not be returned? !

"No, young comrade, you have helped us so much, we can't thank you enough, how could we do something like this to take advantage of you!"

The husband of the old couple objected immediately, and the other four also agreed with him. It was obvious that they were unwilling to take advantage of this.

Yu Jiang is rich now and doesn't care about the little money he spends on buying things for them, but he can see that these people are all worthy of help and at least they know how to be grateful.

"Don't worry, I'm not a good person who does good things for nothing. You may not know the current situation in Beijing, but I can tell you that this kind of life will not last long and will be over soon."

Once these words were spoken, they undoubtedly gave those in prison a strong boost of confidence.

Although it seems that they have accepted their fate and accepted that they will die of old age and exhaustion on the farm in this life.

But who doesn’t yearn for sunshine and hope to get out of here one day?

Now they learned from Yu Jiang that they still had a chance to go back. Although they didn't know how long they had to wait, from now on, waiting was no longer despair but hope!
