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

After hearing what Liu Weihua said, the old leader nodded and said, "I have to say, your arrangement is really good.

Your grandson is less than two years old. If he were to be sent down with you, given the conditions here and the cold winters in the Northeast, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to survive.”

Liu Weihua nodded. "It was based on this consideration that Jianguo, the stubborn man, was finally convinced by us and agreed to break off the relationship with me."

"It was Xiaoxue. I tried to persuade her not to come down here, but she always refused to listen. I was also really worried that something might happen to her at home, so I had no choice but to let her come.

You all know what happened next, so I won’t go into detail.”

Old Man Wu sighed and said, "You are lucky to have discovered the signs of someone else's attack in advance, otherwise the children at home would not have been able to escape.

But I'm not bad either. I was prepared when this revolution first began to take shape.

I wrote a letter of severance in advance and filed it, leaving out my only surviving daughter and her family.

She married a soldier, and her family is quite powerful. As long as I break off the relationship with her, I think her family will be able to protect her and avoid being implicated by me."

Liu Weihua said, "Brother Wu, you are more prophetic than me."

The old chief sighed, “You guys are lucky to have helped your family escape.

As for me, not only have I ended up in this situation, I don’t even know where my son and his family have been sent to.

My great-grandson is only a few years older than your little grandson, Wei Hua, and I don’t know how he is doing now.”

“It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have time to prepare.

If I had been as alert as you were, I could have cut off ties with them to avoid implicating them.

Or bring them to your side, so that you don't have to worry about them every day like you do now."

Seeing that the old leader was thinking of his son and his family who were nowhere to be found, Liu Weihua hurriedly comforted him, "Old leader, don't worry, Brother Youguo and his family will be fine.

As long as you stay healthy, the family will be reunited one day."

Wang Xiulan said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, the most important thing for us now is to take good care of our health."

She picked up a can of malted milk and a packet of milk and stuffed them into Old Man Wu's arms.

"This is a can of malted milk and milk. Mr. Zou and Mr. Wu, you two can make some.

The other couple, Wei Hua and I, drank.

Don’t be reluctant, after you finish drinking it, Xiaoxue will continue to get more for us.”

"There is still food. Xiaoxue told us to eat enough and not go hungry. After we finish eating, she and Jianguo will find a way to get more for us.

Next time I cook, I’ll cook more so we can all have enough to eat.

The intensity of labor is so high every day that if you don’t eat enough, your body won’t be able to bear it.

Especially Wei Hua and Zou Lao, both of you came back from the battlefield, and you have many hidden injuries. If you don’t eat enough, those illnesses will defeat you.”

Wang Xiulan picked up the ginseng and said, "This is a good thing, you are in need of it right now.

I have to think about how to maximize its effectiveness and restore your health."

Looking at the coarse cloth and cotton, Wang Xiulan said, "After work, I will make cotton coats and trousers for you, and try to prepare all our thick clothes before the snow falls.

As for chopping wood, Wei Hua, I'll leave it to you."

Liu Weihua said, “Leave this to me.

Xiaoxue has brought us the firewood, it just needs to be chopped into small pieces, I can still do it."

Zou Lao said, "We two old bones are not yet unable to move, we can still do the task of chopping wood."

Old Man Wu smiled bitterly, "Originally the little girl only had to take care of you two, but now we two old men are living with you, so she has to take care of two more people."

Knowing that the other two were feeling bad, Wang Xiulan quickly comforted them, "What's the big deal? You two were famous figures in the past, and our Xiaoxue couldn't even compare to you back then.

For our Xiaoxue, this can be considered an investment.

I have to take advantage of your downfall and cling to your thighs.

You should remember the good things our Xiaoxue did, and when she is vindicated in the future, just support our Xiaoxue."

The old chief and Old Man Wu laughed, “We are all at this age, and we don’t know how long we can last.

Do you really think we can turn things around? "

Wang Xiulan said confidently, "Of course.

Since ancient times, evil has never prevailed over good, and those people will not last long.

We have to wait patiently, there will be a day when order will be restored.”

The old chief and old man Wu looked at each other and said, "Then let's wait and see. When we are vindicated, we will all support the little girl."

Wang Xiulan ordered Liu Weihua to move the food into the kitchen and hide it well.

He also divided some quilts and bedding between the two rooms.

Put away the ginseng, medicinal herbs, cloth and cotton yourself first.

The rest of the stuff was divided among the people.

After packing up, Wang Xiulan said, "It's getting late. We have to get up early to go to work tomorrow. Let's all go to bed."

Liu Jingxue is here, and with her as an intermediary, I will probably receive news about my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson soon.

Liu Jingxue also helped them solve the problem of winter equipment, which had originally worried them.

Liu Weihua and Wang Xiulan put down a few big stones with peace of mind, and as they were too tired during the day, they fell asleep quickly.

In another room, Old Man Zou and Old Man Wu were lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Feeling that Old Zou kept turning over, Old Man Wu asked, "Old Zou, are you worried that your son and his family won't be able to sleep?"

“That’s part of the reason.

Also, I feel a little guilty for receiving such a great favor from the little girl for nothing."

Old Man Wu said, “You’re fine.

Judging from what Liu Weihua said, both brothers have served in the army under you and can be considered your old subordinates.

Given this relationship, it is reasonable for the little girl to take care of you."

“As for me, I just took advantage of it for nothing.

Thinking back to the past, I, Old Wu, was such a great man, and there were countless people who had benefited from my kindness.

I didn't expect that once I lost power, those who had benefited from me would become ungrateful and wish to bite off a few pieces of meat from me.

It was a little girl I had never met before who came to my rescue and gave me hope of survival. I felt really bad. "

"Tell me what is wrong with this world.

Look at Liu Weihua and I, we came out of the hail of bullets.

I didn't die on the battlefield or at the hands of the enemy during the war. Unexpectedly, after the liberation and the founding of the People's Republic of China, I was framed by my former comrades-in-arms.

As for you, Old Man Wu, you are a capitalist, but you donated money, food, and materials to the war of resistance. You are a red capitalist and have been received by the leaders. How did you end up like this? "

"Your in-laws didn't run around for you," Mr. Zou asked curiously.

“Why not, but I stopped him later.

Now that you've come down, things aren't going well for him either, and many people are watching him."

Old Man Wu got up and said, "No, I can't accept a gift from a young girl with a clear conscience."

Zou Lao also got up and said, "What are you going to do? We are here now and there is no way to repay her."

Old Man Wu chuckled, leaned close to Old Man Zou's ear, and whispered, "To be honest, when I came here, I did hide some things on me.

There are money tickets and small yellow croakers.

I will give these things to the little girl when the time comes, otherwise I will feel bad."

"Then I'll give it to you too. Although I don't have any yellow croaker, I did bring some money."

After the two came up with an idea, they felt a lot more relaxed and fell asleep in a daze.
