It's so hard, I'm dressed like a group favorite in the 1960s

Soon after Jiang Junjun and his group went up the mountain, a commotion was heard in the quiet village. It turned out that the news that the educated youth and the people sent down to the countryside had arrived had reached the village, and Grandpa Jiang and his group were asked to go and pick them up.

Upon receiving the notice, Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Aiguo didn't waste a moment, quickly driving their old oxen pulling their battered cart to the designated location. Along the way, the father and son were filled with curiosity and anticipation, wondering what kind of people would be assigned to their village this time.

After a bumpy ride, they finally arrived at their destination. However, what they saw surprised them greatly—there were five people sent down from the countryside and three educated youth waiting for them.

A closer look revealed that the educated youth were evenly distributed across the villages, but the situation with the people being sent down was different: only their village received five people, while the surrounding villages received none.

Just when Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Aiguo were full of doubts, Zhao Liang in the crowd took the initiative to walk over.

Everyone knew about his relationship with the Jiang family, so he didn't hide it.

Seeing his grandfather's bewildered look, he quickly explained, "Grandpa, this is what happened. This year, our village's greenhouse planting and breeding base has been doing very well and has achieved remarkable results. It's well-known in the surrounding area!"

This made the cadres and villagers in other villages feel unbalanced. They raised objections and said that they would follow our example and start breeding next year.

So, to calm public anger and appease everyone, the higher-ups decided to relocate all five of these relocated households to our village." At this point, Zhao Liang winked at Grandpa Jiang and, while no one else was paying attention, quickly slipped a note into Grandpa Jiang's pocket.

Grandpa Jiang was such a clever man that he instantly understood Zhao Liang's words and that mysterious gesture. He didn't need to explain anything; he simply exchanged glances with his son, Jiang Aiguo, and they both understood. Everything was said without words.

"Let's go. It's so cold. Let's not wait any longer. If everything is fine, I'll take them back."

“Everyone is welcome to come to our village to study.”

Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Aiguo didn't say a word, which made the people from other villages blush with embarrassment.

"Oh my god, there's a child here. You're walking too slowly. I'm too old to stand the cold. Let's all get on the oxcart." The few people sent down were flattered. They had been treated with contempt all along the way, criticized and scolded, and beaten at every turn. This was the first time someone had shown kindness.

"What are you doing standing here, waiting to freeze?

The oxcart was a little worn, but it was clean and clear of cow dung. The three educated youths who had all come from Kyoto were the first to react. They quickly climbed aboard the oxcart.

It's even colder here than in Kyoto.

The other five people also slowly made their way onto the bus. They were all poorly dressed and wearing very thin clothes. The child, who looked only two or three years old, had his hands cracked from the cold.

"Brothers, I'm leaving now. You guys can continue chatting. Liangliang, don't forget to come back for the New Year. We've prepared New Year's goods at home. Don't ask your parents to buy any."

"Oh, I understand, grandpa." After saying that, Jiang Aiguo flicked the whip and the ox cart drove away.

Zhao Liang took a quick look around and saw that the people from other villages, as well as the educated youth, had gone straight back to their units.

"Who is that? He's pretty handsome. He looks like he's from GWH, and he actually knows someone from that village."

"I don't know, why don't you go ask."

......

The village heads of several other villages looked at each other in confusion. They had offended this old man.

But isn't this also to make life a little better for their village? Well, it seems they have to apologize later. This time they didn't think it through.

"Hurry up and leave. If there's no room, put your luggage on the bus and walk."

This was the case in every village. Fortunately, not too many people came this time because it was Chinese New Year, otherwise, with so many people sharing rations, the village would have been in an uproar.

Grandpa Jiang saw that the child was so cold that he was shivering even when his father was holding him, so he just carried the child away.

"Let me hold it. Don't let anything happen to it before we get to the right place. It's almost New Year, so it's better to have less trouble than more.

Grandpa Jiang was wearing a fur coat with a down jacket underneath, which made him very warm.

The child was held directly in Grandpa Jiang's clothes and felt much better instantly.

The child’s father is also a smart man. He did not refute and just said thank you in a low voice.

The other three educated youths saw it but pretended not to see it. This is very interesting.

"There is a torn quilt in the car. You can use it to cover yourself and sit closer. It will be much warmer." Jiang Aiguo saw it and said it directly to the educated youth.

This was before they left the house. Grandma Jiang had specifically asked them to bring it with them, and they hadn't expected it to be useful. He and Grandpa Jiang weren't cold, as they were dressed warmly.

Grandpa Jiang sat with his back to the others. Seeing that the child was very sensible, he took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and stuffed them into the child's hands.

"Eat it," he said, and gave him another bun. These were all brought by Grandma Jiang when she came. Grandpa Jiang also stuffed the hand warmer in his arms into the child's arms.

This operation stunned the child. Although he was very young, only three years old, his experience during this period had made him understand a lot of things.

Something terrible happened at home. His mother was beaten to death while trying to protect him. Since then, he has only trusted his father. No one has ever treated him so well. The people along the way have all called him a son of a bitch.

Seeing the child like this, a trace of pity flashed across Grandpa Jiang's eyes. The child was so young, how could someone be so cruel?

"Eat, no one dares to say anything bad about grandpa, don't be afraid." Grandpa Jiang touched the little boy's head.

The little boy raised his head and looked at his father. When his father nodded, he began to eat in small bites.

Tears welled up in the man's eyes. He knew that this village should be different. His wife was murdered, and if he didn't have a son, he would have died with her.

During the whole journey, they didn't eat much and wore very thin clothes. The child didn't get sick, and he thought it was because of his wife's blessing in Tianshan.

He was sitting next to Grandpa Jiang, so he heard what Grandpa Jiang said just now. He didn't know if he would have the chance to repay him in the future.

The little boy ate a bun, peeled a candy, gave it to Grandpa Jiang first, and then peeled another and put it in his own mouth. He put the rest in his pocket, cherishing it, to leave it for his father and the other three uncles.

Grandpa Jiang did not refuse the candy given to him by the little boy. For a sensible child, acceptance is also a form of care.

Jiang Junjun had given him this candy. He hadn't eaten it before, but it came in handy today. He should probably stock up on some more in the future.
