Time Travel Article: My parents divorced at the beginning

Gu Qingyu nestled quietly in Li Dahua's arms, looking around. Ping'an County in the 50s was far from the prosperous county towns of later generations. The main streets were lined with two-story buildings with bluestone structures, white walls, and black tiles, giving them an antique feel. Many banners and slogans were hung along the streets.

Eliminate counter-revolutionaries from every corner!

Carry out land revolution and let the people live a good life!

Resist the US and aid Korea, defend our country!

Gu Qingyu gazed at the slogans hanging around her, reflecting the era's characteristics. She felt deeply that she had arrived in a difficult yet vibrant era. Though most of the people walking around her wore patched clothes, Gu Qingyu could sense a surge of vitality surging from their smiling faces. Coming from the future, Gu Qingyu knew that from this moment on, a mighty Eastern dragon would soar into the sky, towering over the world forever!

"Er Gouzi..." Village Chief Gu was swaying on his donkey cart as he hurried to the post office, preparing to chat with Li Jianguo. But before he could even begin, two children nearby couldn't help but burst out laughing at the earthy nickname.

"Hahaha...hahaha..."

The two children laughed and said, "Dad, why do you call yourself that?"

Zhang Caifeng glared at her two sons and said, "You two little brats, try laughing again! You dare to laugh at your father? I think you are itching for a beating after not being spanked for three days, right?"

Uh… too much joy turns to sorrow! Seeing their parents’ unhappy expressions, the two boys shut up tactfully and didn’t dare to act rashly.

"Life was hard in the past. When your father was born, he was weak and easy to raise. At that time, most people in our village were tenant farmers who worked the land for the landlords. We were thankful if we could have enough to eat all year round." Village Chief Gu said with emotion.

"Yes, it's not like now that the country is distributing land to those of us who have no land. When we came out, the working group had already gone to the neighboring Xia'ao Village, and they will come to our Gujia Village in a few days." Village Chief Gu became more and more happy as he spoke, and he wished he could go to the post office to pick up his things and return to the village. For rural people, land is their lifeline, and it is the most important thing.

"The land within a ten-mile radius of our village was originally rented by the landlord Cui in town. The eldest brother of his family, Cui Jinpeng, used to be a lackey for the Japanese. After the Japanese were defeated, he defected to the Kuomintang. When the People's Liberation Army entered the city, he wanted to defect to us." Village chief Gu continued to explain to Li Jianguo who had just returned.

Gu Xiaogu married into the county. Her family owned a tailor shop, so she had more contacts and knew more details. She added, "Cui Jinpeng was arrested a few days ago. A lot of police officers and even the army were dispatched. They also reportedly found a radio transmitter in Cui's house, along with more than a dozen boxes of guns and ammunition."

"what!"

"Ouch!"

"I'll be a good boy!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, and even Gu Qingyu opened his eyes wide.

Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Gu Xiaogu was very satisfied and continued, "It is said that Boss Cui was reported by Landlord Cui's youngest son, Cui Yinpeng, who accused him of being a counter-revolutionary. As a result, he was caught red-handed."

"what!"

"what!"

"What! Did someone from your family report it?"

Everyone was shocked by this sudden turn of events and exclaimed in surprise again.

"Why would his youngest son report his brother?" Zhang Caifeng couldn't help but ask because she was really curious about the reason behind the feud between the brothers.

"Yes, why?" everyone asked in unison.

Seeing everyone looking at her with curious eyes, Gu Xiaogu cleared her throat and continued, "This matter, the strangest thing is yet to come. If you want to know what happens next, listen to me and tell you slowly..."

"Hurry up and tell me! Don't keep us in suspense!" Li Dahua looked at her little daughter's funny look and slapped her a few times, urging her.
