Rebirth 1978, Wife, I won't go back to the city

It's much better than those who are undergoing labor reform and suffer every day.

After all, not having to work in the fields yourself is really better than anything else.

But even this has a problem.

That is, although they don’t have to work in the fields, they still face a very serious problem.

That is, freedom is greatly restricted.

To put it bluntly, although you don't have to work in the fields, you have to work in the relevant departments.

The files clearly record that you were sent to a farm for labor reform.

But you are in a courtyard house somewhere in the north city that no one knows about.

Let me put it this way, this is a backdoor way of avoiding labor.

If no one knows about it, then there is naturally no problem.

But once it gets known to others, it will be no small matter.

I'm afraid that by then it may not be impossible for him to be shot.

Therefore, people in this yard basically stay at home every day.

At most, I would go out to buy some rice, grain, oil, etc.

Besides, I only go out once or twice a month.

Go in a hurry and come back in a hurry.

There is no other entertainment.

Even in this courtyard, they live door to door.

On ordinary days, no one dares to visit each other on the street.

The main reason is that no one knows who the other person is.

Is it possible that I was reported and betrayed?

This results in almost zero trust between them.

But no matter what, the price paid for family affection is almost the same.

Saw Li Jingshen come to visit his parents.

Others also more or less hope that their children can come and see them.

Although I know this is almost a luxury.

But no matter what, at least everyone is willing to give this family reasonable time to get along.

After putting the things down, Jiang Xue looked at everything in the house.

It's a very simple layout, with two rooms and a kitchen.

I can’t say it’s very big, but at least it’s still habitable.

At night, Jing Shen, Tuan Tuan and I were able to fall asleep.

At this time, Jiang Xue was still thinking about getting some water to wipe her face.

After traveling all the way, the three of them were a little tired.

However, Jiang Xue looked for a long time but saw nothing.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law seemed to be looking for something, Wang Fang asked curiously: "Xiaoxue, what are you looking for?"

"Mom, I want to get some water to wash the child's face. We have been traveling all day and our faces are all dirty. I want to wash our faces and hands."

After hearing Jiang Xue's words, Wang Fang smiled bitterly: "I don't know what's going on lately, there's always an intermittent water shortage."

"Look, there's no water this morning, and there's no water anywhere nearby."

"The water tank at home is only half full. If I want to wash my face, I'm afraid..."

Hearing this, Li Jingshen asked curiously: "Mom, I know the specific situation between you and Dad."

"They just hide here and don't make a fuss about it on weekdays."

"It doesn't make sense to play tricks on people like this, right? Can't you even give me the water to wash my face?" Li Jingshen asked curiously.

My parents can be considered as being "sly and cunning", but there is nothing they can do about it because they are forced to do so.

Li Jingshen knew very well what a farm was.

If I really let my parents go to the farm, they would be half dead.

Therefore, his parents secretly asked their old leader for help, and finally hid in a small alley in the north city without knowing the truth.

Even if he had to live a miserable life, Li Jingshen had nothing to complain about.

But it’s a bit unreasonable that the water is not even prepared.

No matter how much you talk about it, it's just that you didn't go to the farm.

It's not to the point of violating the laws of heaven.

Although he said so, Li Jingshen felt really bad.

"Depth of Field, it's not that there is no water supply, but the North City has been suffering from a systemic water shortage recently." Li Congwen explained on the side.

"I don't know what's going on lately, but North City has been experiencing water shortages, and there are also frequent problems with the water supply."

"This has caused water shortages for a large area of ​​residents across the city. This is not a problem unique to us."

"Then how do you and your mother wash your face recently?" Li Jingshen asked in surprise.

"Why wash your face? We just try to wipe it with a towel and some water, and only in the morning when the centralized water supply point is up."

"Then your mother and I will go out with buckets and fill them up properly. When we have enough water to eat and drink, we will have enough to drink."

"By the way, I can also get some more water to wash myself or something." Li Congwen said happily.

Hearing this, Jiang Xue couldn't help but feel her eyes turn slightly red.

In fact, before she came, she had heard her husband talk about the current situation of her parents-in-law.

Although I knew that life must not be easy for them, I didn't expect it to be so hard.

When she first met the two elders and saw how thin they looked, she knew they must have been suffering from long-term malnutrition.

But unexpectedly, the two elders, who live a low-key life in North City, still have to face problems such as water shortages from time to time.

This made Jiang Xue feel that the lives of the two elders were really too painful.

Although Jiang Xue grew up in the countryside.

But it must be said that she is indeed loved and cared for by her family.

It can be said that I have never suffered much since I was a child.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Jiang Xue was completely broken by what happened to her parents-in-law.

"Daughter-in-law, don't be sad. We are used to it." Wang Fang said with a smile.

"Mom and Dad, has there always been such a shortage of water here?" Li Jingshen asked with a frown.

Beicheng is a prefecture-level city after all, it shouldn't be like this.

Even if it is due to water storage problems, there should not be such a shortage of water.

"Of course not." Li Congwen shook his head. "It was fine before. Even if there was a problem with the water pipe, at least the centralized water supply was fine."

"It's just that since the second half of last year, for some unknown reason, there has been no rain in the entire North City."

"It is said that the reservoirs in the northern part of the city are almost dry, and the relevant departments are trying to find a solution."

"The meteorological department is running around everywhere, but they just can't make it rain."

"Because of this, almost all residents in the entire North City are now facing water shortages."

"It's just that, son, you know your parents' current situation is rather special."

"And the public security organs also understand the nature of the people living here."

"So, to put it bluntly, once the North City centralises its water supply, it will be given priority to households with normal water supply, and only then will it reach us."

"There's nothing we can do about this. After all, we can't just go out on the street and shout loudly, right?" Li Congwen shook his head helplessly.

Although he was not sent to work on a farm.

But there is also the helplessness of not being able to speak out.

When Li Jingshen heard what his father said, he couldn't help but shook his head.

"Then, have the leaders of the relevant departments, especially the leaders of the Meteorological Bureau, ever thought of a solution?"

“Why haven’t I thought about it, but there is no solution.”
