A delicate cry broke the tranquility of Chenjia Village.

"Hey! Old man! Wang Simin? Come out here! Instead of working properly, where have you been hiding away again?"

"You capitalists are the parasites of society! You crawl on the backs of us poor working people, drinking their blood and eating their flesh!"

"Times have changed, capitalism has been overthrown! I'm telling you, you're being sent to Chenjia Village for labor reform! Not to enjoy a comfortable life!"

"Those sneaky tricks won't work in our Chenjia Village!"

Wang Erxiu and Li Baozhen were chatting on the side of the road with their hands in their pockets.

Hearing Chen Shuning's scolding, Wang Erxiu tightened her clothes, lowered her head and whispered to Li Baozhen:

"Hey! Do you think that girl Chen Aiguo is mentally ill? She blocks the entrance to the cowshed every day and scolds Wang Simin!

Who in our Chenjia Village doesn't hate capitalists? But she is the only one who doesn't do her job all day and just keeps an eye on Wang Simin!

Even the village chief couldn't do what she did. It was just a few more days of studying, but she was so outstanding!

Li Baozhen exhaled a breath of hot air and thought to herself, "It's really cold today! I'm shivering with cold!"

Li Baozhen stamped her feet and said, "What can I say? You said that the Chen family's little girl is already eighteen years old, and instead of looking for a husband, she's always arguing with an old man! She really has nothing to do!"

Wang Erxiu lowered her voice and said, "Chen Shuning is so fierce. Who in this area would dare to marry her? If you marry her, you will be in trouble for the rest of your life!"

Li Baozhen chuckled and said, "Anyway, neither of our families can let this rascal in! Phew! It's too cold. Let's go! Let's warm up by the fire at my house!"

Chen Shuning shouted a few times, but when he didn't see Wang Simin, he cursed even louder:

"Wang Simin, do you still think you're the eldest son of a landlord? You've been overthrown and should actively reform yourself!

Instead of hiding and slacking off like you are now! If you don't come out, I will report you to the village chief and hold a struggle session to criticize you!"

In the haystack next to the cowshed, Guo Junshan wanted to rush out to have a good argument with Chen Shuning, but was stopped by Wang Simin!

Guo Junshan gnashed his teeth and said, "Grandpa, please let go of my hand! I must teach her a lesson today!"

Wang Simin said with a smile, "Don't move! Don't you want to know how Grandpa has been living these days? Hide here, and don't come out no matter what happens!"

If you touch her, my life here will be miserable! Don't be impulsive! When encountering something, you must learn to think, and what you see may not be the truth! "

Guo Junshan sighed and suppressed the anger in his heart! He whispered: "Grandpa, this person is too much! Yes, you were sent here for reform because of your background problem!

But she can't talk like that! Listen to her tone! She wants to eat you alive!

Those who know her, she is from Chenjia Village! Those who don’t know her, might think Chenjia Village belongs to her! What’s wrong with me teaching her a lesson?

Wang Simin said earnestly, "Think about your current situation. If others knew that the police beat up ordinary people, how bad would the impact be?

Do you still want to be transferred back to Beijing? You are here under punishment, so don't mess around!

Besides, I had a lot of trouble getting your father out of this situation, and your father and son’s future has not been affected because of my problem!

If you act impulsively, all my efforts will be in vain~"

Guo Junshan thought of his grandfather's situation and nodded helplessly! As for his own future, he didn't care much. At worst, he would just shed his skin!

To avoid causing trouble for his grandfather, Guo Junshan dejectedly hid behind a haystack. Wang Simin was satisfied to see his grandson was willing to listen. He sprinkled a handful of hay on himself and walked out, hunched over.

Seeing that he was willing to come out, Chen Shuning glared at him and said fiercely, "Hey, capitalists, you still know how to come out! You're strolling around all day long. If you don't know, you might think you're here to enjoy yourself!

Remember your identity! You are here to be reformed! Do you understand what reform means? You must receive education, change your capitalist ways, and learn from us ordinary people!

Guo Junshan hid in the haystack and retorted indignantly, "You're like this, and you still want to teach others? What kind of little girl is blocking someone's door and cursing? You're a complete shrew!"

Guo Junshan was unhappy, but he didn't dare to make too much noise. If others found out, he would secretly come to see Wang Simin, which would cause even more trouble! In that case, all his grandfather's efforts would be in vain!

Wang Simin was scolded like a grandson. After Chen Shuning finished scolding him, he said awkwardly: "Little comrade, I'm not lazy! I went to sort the haystack over there!

It's snowing these days, and the grass gets moldy when it gets wet, and cows don't like moldy grass! I'll go over and do some work, cover the haystack! Look, I still have hay on me! I'm not being lazy! I'm really not being lazy!

Chen Shuning put his hands on his hips, looked at Wang Simin coldly, kicked forward, and a black clod of earth was kicked up and fell at Wang Simin's feet.

Chen Shuning said disdainfully, "Tsk~ You? You're still messing around with haystacks, who are you trying to fool? I'm telling you, I'll be keeping an eye on you at all times, so just behave yourself!"

Chen Shuning glared at Wang Simin again, cursing, "Bah! Evil capitalist!" and turned away!

Wang Simin looked around and saw that there was no one around. He quickly picked up the dirt under his feet and happily went to look for his grandson behind the haystack!

Wang Simin stuffed the black clump of dirt in his hand into Guo Junshan's and urged, "Quick! Open it and see what it is."

Guo Junshan frowned and said unhappily, "Isn't this just a lump of earth? What else could it be? Hey, why is it warm?"

Wang Simin smiled and said, "Dig up the soil!"

Guo Junshan lowered his head and quickly dug up the warm soil. Only then did he discover that what was wrapped in the soil was a roasted sweet potato!

Guo Junshan thought this was unbelievable! Where did the roasted sweet potatoes come from in this freezing weather? Could it be that the girl just brought them over?

Guo Junshan was shocked by his own thoughts! He simply couldn't believe that the shrew-like girl could be so kind.

Wang Simin took out the biscuits his grandson had brought him from his pocket, took a bite, and said vaguely, "Junshan! Let's take turns eating at noon today! I'll have the biscuits, and you can try the sweet potatoes. How about that?

This is what my old comrade-in-arms grew himself! He grows the best sweet potatoes in all the villages! He grew these secretly, but there aren't many. You can eat this thanks to me!"

Guo Junshan took a bite and was immediately conquered by the soft, sweet and fragrant taste! He hadn't eaten a roasted sweet potato in a long time, so he finished the whole sweet potato in just two or three bites.

A satisfied smile appeared on his face, as if he was still immersed in the sweet taste of sweet potatoes!

Wang Simin looked at his grandson's expression and said lovingly, "It's delicious, isn't it? That girl just now is the granddaughter of my old comrade Chen Feng, whom I often mentioned to you!"

Her name is Chen Shuning! She's a very good child! She's kind-hearted and smart. She's taken great care of me since I got here!"

The corners of Guo Junshan's mouth twitched. He didn't believe a word his grandfather said!

Guo Junshan retorted, "She bribed you with a sweet potato? And you call her kind-hearted... blocking the door and scolding you, is that what you call kind-hearted? I think you've been confused by her scolding..."

Wang Simin glared at Guo Junshan and said unhappily, "No wonder the leaders in Beijing sent you to the countryside to gain experience! Your brain is rusty and won't move at all!"

Who am I? I'm a capitalist sent to Chenjia Village for labor reform! If Shuning treats me politely, how will the villagers view her? If she's identified with me, her whole family will suffer!

You, you! You don't understand the ways of the world at all! Don't look at Shu Ning being mean to me, she often stuffs food into my mouth when no one is around! If it weren't for her, I would have starved to death! "

What Wang Simin said makes a lot of sense, and no matter how stubborn Guo Junshan is, he can't refute it! This is the current national situation. Whoever is close to the capitalists supports the restoration of capitalism!

Once you are labeled like this, your whole family will be implicated!

Wang Simin said earnestly, "Just because you know I'm safe, don't come to see me all the time. If someone finds out, it will be troublesome!

I've gone to great lengths to keep our relationship clean, so please don't let it get out of the way!"

Guo Junshan lowered his head and murmured, "Grandpa, I understand! Take care of yourself. I'm leaving now. I'll find another chance to come see you!"

Wang Simin looked at Guo Junshan with loving eyes, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go! I'm fine here, Shuning is here to protect me!"

Guo Junshan quietly left the village. On his way back to the town police station, he couldn't stop thinking about the Chen Shuning his grandfather had mentioned. The contrast between her words and actions was too great! Which side of her was the real her?
