Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Dabao pushed the door and it opened. In the mountains, every household would never lock the door as long as there was someone at home.

Dabao brought his three children into the yard and saw the old man and the old lady sitting under the eaves basking in the sun.

Hearing the door open, the two old people looked up and saw that it was their eldest grandson and youngest grandson. The old man and the old lady quickly supported each other and stood up.

Dabao took two quick steps, holding one in each hand, and helped them up. Looking at their faces, Dabao felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. It had only been more than half a month since he last saw them, and the old man and the old lady looked completely gray and thin. It must be that they had not eaten enough.

The old man chuckled, and Dabao felt even more uncomfortable. Grandpa's teeth had always been in good condition, and he was usually very proud of them. But now, two of his big teeth had fallen out, making the old man's face look even older.

"Grandpa, when did your big tooth fall out?"

The old man grabbed his grandson's hand and laughed.

"It's been falling out for seven or eight days now. He's old, deaf and blind, and even his teeth aren't straight anymore..."

Dabao held his grandfather's hand, and the old lady asked Erbao to hold her in her arms, calling her her sweetheart. This made Dabao want to tell his grandparents the news that his father had died, but he could no longer open his mouth.

Dabao remembered his second uncle and pulled his grandparents to sit down. The two little girls came over timidly and Dabao held them in his arms.

"Grandpa and grandma, these are two children from our police station. I brought them to the mountains for a stroll."

Dabao knew that his grandparents always favored boys over girls. If they had two boys, they would definitely not have such an attitude. However, the old people's ideas were already deeply rooted, and even Dabao could not change them.

Sure enough, Grandpa just nodded, and Grandma looked at her two grandchildren with a smile, not even nodding.

"Grandpa, why did you come back to the village suddenly? Did my second uncle have a fight with you?"

Grandpa shook his head: "Don't mention that bastard to me, I get so angry when I mention him..."

Grandma hit him with a stick.

"Who are you calling a bastard? How can a father scold his own son like that?"

The old man also realized that scolding his son was bringing himself into trouble.

The old lady was always sensible. She pinched her grandson's face and said with a smile,

"What's the quarrel? He knows his own son's character very well. He fell into a trap set by someone in the production team. Others may not know about this, but how could we, the old couple, not know about it?

If we were in the village, no one would dare to do this. Your grandfather and I went to live in the commune, so they dared to attack your second uncle.

"Huh?" Dabao's face turned cold: "Who attacked my second uncle?"

Grandpa took out his pipe, lit it and started smoking. After all, they were all his people. He still felt ashamed when he was asked to speak out.

The old lady didn't care about that matter. The eldest grandson was back. He was the pillar of the family. Who else could she tell if not her eldest grandson?

The old lady said: "Who else could it be? Isn't it Qingrong and the former village chief of Lijia Village, Li Qi and the whole thing? The reason why your grandfather and I returned to the village to live is, firstly, to suppress these people, and secondly, to get to the bottom of this matter."

When Dabao heard this, he thought that the old couple was very methodical in their work.

"Grandma, have you and my grandfather figured out what's going on?"

The old lady still smiled and said: "What are you checking? It's just a trivial matter. Who in this production team doesn't know about it?

As soon as your grandfather and I came back, someone came to tell us about this matter.

"What's going on?"

The old lady curled her lips and said, "What's going on? It's your second uncle who offended someone at work!"

Dabao frowned, and the old lady continued,

"Ever since Qingfu became the team leader, the harvest has been bad, with a severe drought. Even the river has dried up. The commune has organized people from various production teams to go to Miyun to build a reservoir, hoping to store some water so they can plant the land.

What a pity, how could this dazzling ear hole be caught up with the sedan chair? When people see that the grain harvest is not good, won’t they lose their morale?

Our Qinjiagou is relatively good. At that time, your grandfather and your second uncle listened to you and planted corn and sweet potatoes in the mountains. They finally grew well, but distant water cannot quench immediate thirst..."

The old lady sighed and said, "Your grandfather and your second uncle have kept the secret of secretly growing crops in the mountains a secret. No one knows about it except the three families in the village.

Alas, during this period, the entire production brigade was almost out of food. Once the food was cut off, people became confused and began to blame your second uncle and the brigade cadres.

Your second uncle has no other choice. The relief grain can only be distributed in the last autumn. The members have no food in their stomachs, but they still have to go to work every day. They are full of resentment and do not work hard.

Someone started to have evil intentions. When your second uncle became the team leader, Qin Qingrong and Li Qi were not convinced. But with your grandfather and I in the village, they didn't dare to make any trouble.

With the addition of your eldest nephew, they finally calmed down. This time, the people were making such a commotion, and the commune did not intervene, so they pushed your second uncle and several other cadres to the front.

I heard that in the past two months, people in the village have been gossiping about all sorts of things, especially those from Qingrong's group, who have been gossiping about your second uncle everywhere.

He said that if Qingrong became the team leader, he would be able to ensure that everyone in the village had enough food to eat.

Hearing this, Dabao couldn't help but sneer. This is really bragging. Now in the whole country, only he dares to say such big words. What others say is bullshit.

"After they said that, the members all disliked your uncle and his men. However, it was not easy to remove your uncle as the team leader. After all, your uncle was a cadre appointed by the commune.

Besides, who can control whether it rains or not? You can't blame your uncle for this, right? So Qin Qingrong and the others started to think of a trick.

This trick of theirs is nothing new. They have done it several times before. In Lijia Village, there was a widow named Du.

Back then, before your second uncle married your second aunt, he had a matchmaking with that widow Du. If I hadn't asked someone to tell my fortune and told me that this woman and your second uncle were not compatible and that she was destined to marry badly, I would have tried every possible means to stop them from getting together.

Now I see that the prediction was really accurate. This woman had been married for only two years when her husband fell off a mountain and died. Isn't this a sign of bad luck for her husband?
