Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

After Liu Jingxue left, the four people in the cowshed looked at the things placed there and looked at each other in silence.

Liu Weihua sighed, "We were supposed to take care of her as her uncle and aunt, but now it's the other way around, asking her to come all the way to the countryside to take care of us."

Wang Xiulan knew what Liu Weihua was thinking, so she patted Liu Weihua on the shoulder and said, "The current situation is like this, and it is not something you can change on your own.

Don't think too much about it. What you should think about now is how to take care of your body, do more work, earn more food, and not cause too much trouble to the children."

Thinking about the scene in the dream where someone came to vindicate them, Wang Xiulan said with hope,

"I believe that these sufferings are only temporary, and we will all have our grievances redressed one day.

What we need to do is to get through this dark time and greet that day with a healthy body and a good condition. "

"If we are defeated by the difficulties before us and never recover, that would be exactly what those villains want."

Grandpa Zou glanced at Wang Xiulan. He didn't expect that even though he was so much older than her, he still didn't think as clearly as her.

"Xiu Lan is right. Let's not feel sorry for ourselves here. We need to cheer up."

Seeing that Liu Weihua still had a frown on his face, Wang Xiulan said, "Xiaoxue is already 16, and she will have to find a husband in two years.

My second brother and his wife died long ago, and my parents have also passed away, so we two are the only elders left to her.

You must not take charge of her lifelong affairs.

What if she is young and naive, and gets tricked and schemed by a scumbag? How can we face our second brother, his wife, parents, and mother in the afterlife?"

"We have been in the army for these years, leaving our parents in our hometown, and letting Xiaoxue accompany and take care of them. We already owe her a lot.

Now she has come here for us, and we owe her a lot.

In order to reduce her burden in the future, we must also be independent, take good care of our health, and not let her worry too much about us."

The old leader looked at Liu Weihua, "Weihua, your wife is right.

I know you feel bad for your niece, but it’s too late to think too much. What you should do is to be self-reliant and let your child worry less.”

“Wei Hua, I’ve actually always been curious, you’ve only been here for a dozen days.

You came to me some time ago and said that a younger generation in your family was going to come here to work as an educated youth, and asked me to find the team leader to arrange her not far from the cowshed.

At that time, you had just arrived here not long ago, and it was impossible for you to inform your niece of your arrival by yourself."

The old chief pointed at the things on the ground and said, “It will take a lot of effort to get these things except the quilts and beddings at home.

The little girl was able to get these, it was obvious that she was well prepared.

And what you said about having a falling out with your two sons and breaking off relations with them before the accident, seems weird to me no matter how I look at it.

This isn’t something you’re used to doing.”

The old leader looked deeply at Liu Weihua and his wife.

"Everything was like you knew something was going to happen and you made arrangements in advance.

I broke off relations with my son in order not to bring trouble to them.

Part of the reason I asked my niece to sign up to go to the countryside was to use her as a bridge to keep in touch with my son and take care of him.

Another reason is that I am worried about her being an orphan in a foreign land, and I am afraid something might happen to her."

Old Man Wu interrupted and said, "Big Brother is right, I feel the same way.

This feeling was especially strong after seeing this little girl today."

Wang Xiulan looked at Liu Weihua, not knowing how he would respond. After all, the dream from the ancestors was too weird. Even if she told it to others, she was afraid they would not believe it.

Liu Weihua had already thought of a countermeasure for this. After all, with the old leader's keen sense, he would definitely be able to spot the abnormality.

So he half-truthfully said, "The old chief is right. I did make arrangements in advance."

Old Man Wu was surprised and asked, "Did you know in advance that something bad would happen to you?

But that's not right. If you knew it in advance, you could have avoided it in advance, and how could you have ended up being demoted?"

Liu Weihua smiled bitterly, "It's not that I don't want to avoid it.

But if you want to avoid it, you will have to go against your own principles and become corrupt like others.

I can't do this kind of thing, so I can only accept my fate of being demoted."

Thinking that this would be a very long story, the old leader simply walked over to the kang and sat down, saying, "Tell me in detail."

"Who are these people and why did they attack me? I have already told you everything since I came here, so I won't repeat it.

I will just tell you how I knew those people were going to attack me.”

"In fact, the matter is very simple. When they sent people to search my office and home, they didn't pay attention and left traces, which were discovered by me.

At first I didn’t take it seriously, thinking I had remembered it wrong, but after it happened many times, I checked it again and it was confirmed.

Over the years, there have been cases in the military where people have had things that shouldn't be there found in their homes or offices, and some have been caught and demoted.

I thought about myself and felt that I might be targeted as well.”

Liu Weihua sighed, "Although I know their methods, there is really no way to defend against them.

After all, it is impossible for me to stay in the office and at home 24 hours a day.

You never know when they will suddenly attack.

So we have to make some other arrangements.”

"At the end of July, my mother passed away. I went home to attend the funeral and escaped from the surveillance of those people. I told my family about it.

Originally, I planned to sever ties with my children and divorce Xiulan, so that even if something happened to me, I would be the only one to be demoted, and they wouldn't be implicated.

But I didn’t expect that Xiulan would never divorce me, and my children also didn’t want to sever ties with me, wanting the whole family to go through the hard times with me.”

"I tried my best, and with Xiaoxue by my side, I used my grandson as an excuse to convince my son and daughter-in-law, but Xiulan just wouldn't agree to divorce me."

“And Xiaoxue, she said that if she stayed in the city alone, guarding the big house, she would also be targeted.

Moreover, if the news of our accident gets to her, I'm afraid many people will attack her.

According to her idea, it would be better to find a place to hide. "

"Xiaoxue said that if the two of us were to be sent down, and if there was no one to help us, our lives would be difficult and we might not be able to survive.

My grandson is still young, and Jianguo and his family can’t come with us because of their grandson, but she doesn’t have this concern.

She asked me to arrange someone to find out the address of our relocation in advance and inform her. Then she would sign up to go to the countryside where we were relocated and take care of us.

At that time, she will serve as a transit point, and the sons will send us money and things, and the family will work together to get through this period."
