After a while, the grandma brought a thirty year old girl into the house. The girl said with a smile, "Auntie, this is Big Brother's daughter. Let me take a look."

While saying that, she rubbed her hands together, coaxed Pei Yin with her mouth, and gently hugged him, then laughed and said to Grandma: "Aiya, Aunt, this girl is really handsome, let me see who she looks like."

The somewhat tired Pei Yin yawned, and looked at the woman who was hugging him. She was in her thirties, her eyes were smiling like two crescent moons, her short hair was combed to 30% or 70% of her ears, and the one with more hair was holding two long black hairpins.

The three children who were standing next to her saw their mother pick up their child and hurriedly pulled on their mother's arms, shouting, "Mother, mother, quickly show me what my little sister looks like."

The woman said, "Slow down, don't scare your little sister. Come, take a good look at your little sister and see if she looks good."

An eight-year-old girl, a six-year-old girl, two girls with pigtails, a cotton jacket, blue cotton pants and a pair of cotton pants. There was also a four-year-old boy wearing a tiger hat.

The little boy said, "Little sister looks really good. Mother, let's carry her home when we leave."

The woman said, "Oh, no."

At this time, Second Grandmother walked in and said, "You want your little sister to have your mother give birth to one more."

The lady looked at Second Grandmother embarrassedly and said: "Mother, why are you talking about this to your child?"

So this was actually the daughter of the Second Grandmother family, Aunt Jue who married into Qing He.

Grandma said, "You girl, tell me, why don't you send us a message, and see how anxious your mother is. She was carrying a bag and came to your house early in the morning, but fortunately, we met her halfway. What if she turns her back on us?"

Aunt Jue embarrassedly said, "Auntie, aren't I just thinking of picking up the wild boar meat and bringing it along with me?"

Grandma said, "Quickly tell Auntie what happened. Why did I hear your mother say that your village has entered the wild boar herd?"

Aunt Jue said: "I've heard from the village elders that this wild boar has not been down the mountain for many years. It's probably because of the heavy snowfall a few years ago that the wild boar didn't have any food to eat on the mountain. "Aunty also knows that our Qinghe Village is about five kilometers away from the nearest village, and the production team has been organizing traps to catch wild boars since the twenty-seventh or eighth of the first month, and they have been waiting for this group of wild boars since the third day of the first month." Aunty also knows that our Qinghe Village is about five kilometers away from the closest village, and the production team has been organizing traps to catch wild boars, and has been waiting for this group of wild boars since the twenty-seventh of the eighth of the first month.

Just then, a man in his thirties entered the house, called out his grandma, then said to Second Grandmother: "Mother, I've already hung the wild boar meat on the beams of the woodshed, it'll be fine while I cut it during eating."

Second Grandmother said, "Good, good, good. Mother will cook a good meal for you today. Jue, you rest in this room with Meixia father first. I'll go to the kitchen to cook."

The granny called for the three children to take off their shoes and go get warm on the brick bed, allowing Pei Zhi to accompany the three children to talk and eat. She also poured hot water for Aunt Jue and her wife and sat on the edge of the brick bed to talk.

Aunt Jue placed Pei Yin on a mattress and covered the blanket with a small blanket. Only then did she take out the hot water poured by her grandmother and talk to her about the recent developments at home.

Because Qing He Village was very far away from the surrounding villages, it was even further away from the commune. It was said that the village leader had to leave one day earlier if he wanted to go to a commune meeting. Traffic was really inconvenient.

Fortunately, this was not convenient, as the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. Currently, many movements were not reflected in Qing He Village, and the villagers still lived a simple life.

Grandmother looked at Aunt Jue's slightly protruding stomach and said happily, "Jue, how many months have you had?"

Aunt Jue said, "It's been three months."

Grandma said, "That's great. This time, we're going to give birth to a son. We, little Iron Egg, also have a companion."

Due to the arrival of Aunt Jue's family, as well as the large piece of wild boar meat that Aunt Jue brought along, Second Grandmother made a huge table of sumptuous food.

When the Second Grandmother saw his daughter's family, his mood improved a lot. When Aunt Qiong's Taihe's cousin came, he even cut a piece of wild boar meat for them to bring back as a toothpick.

Spring was the most difficult time for people. They had already finished the food they had shared last year, and the new food had not come yet. The spring breeze blew, and after a few rounds of spring rain, the wild vegetables had become food for the people living in the village.

's house was located at the westernmost area of the village, not far from it was a small river. On the cove near the cove, there was a small forest under the cove where wild vegetables were growing the most, and Grandma who did not work until the end of the day placed Pei Yin onto the brick bed and covered him with a blanket. who did not go to school was brought along by Pei Yin to dig wild vegetables, which were mixed with wild vegetables and steamed them in cornflour and beans, saving him a lot of food.

After they started spring, Pei Hua and Pei Jun went to work with the adults. Pei Tian's school was not even opened yet, and all the children in the village were helping the adults in their work. Many of them were carrying baskets made from thorns and digging wild vegetables.

After working for a whole day, even the master and children were tired, the mechanization of agriculture was still too far away, and the entire ground was filled with manpower. Even if they worked hard during the day, it was still a bit hard to bear, not to mention Shen Family, which were young and weak.

That night, my granny steamed some wild vegetables again. Mr. Shen saw that there were still a lot of them in the pot, so she told my granny that my granny wrapped a lot of things up, causing Mr. Shen to call Pei Tian over. He said: "Pei Tian, send these over to your few grandfathers.

Pei Tian nodded, took the things and hid them under the clothes, then turned and walked out of the courtyard.

Pei Tian followed his two brothers and delivered many things back and forth. He was also familiar with the road, mainly because Pei Tian was small in size and his target was also small.

After a while, Pei Tian returned. He gave the bundle to his grandmother, went into the west wing, and whispered to his father: "Dad, when I went there, I met the Tian Clan's Third Elder."

Mr. Shen asked, "What are the three grandpas doing there?"

Pei Tian said: "I don't know, but when Grandfather Zhou received the things, he told me that your two families had given us enough food for us to eat for a few days."

The Mr. Shen thought for a moment, then said: "Pei Tian, don't go out and say random things about this matter today."

Pei Tian said: "Father, I know, I won't speak carelessly. Don't look at my age, I know all of this."

Mr. Shen looked at his eight year old son and asked with a smile, "How do you know?"

Pei Tian lowered his head and said: During the new year, Er Wazi said that his uncle would rather send some food when he's at home with his aunt, than if his uncle's family's children were to tell others, his uncle would be beaten into a counter-revolutionary state. Father, Er Wazi said that his uncle was also roaming the streets and had been beaten up a lot.

He didn't know what to say to his own son, but as a father, he should say something when his son's heart was being assaulted. After struggling for a long while, Mr. Shen let out a long sigh and said: "Pei Tian, you are a good child, your father is happy to have a child as obedient and sensible as you."

Pei Tian said: "Thank you Father, in the future, I will help Grandma with more work, Pei Zhi and I will not earn an equal share, we will be able to work as brothers for our family."

Pei Yin, who was lying on the bed, felt very sad. A child who was only eight years old already had such a high level of thought, which was probably also a characteristic of this era. The environment, which forced people to continuously grow up, should have been a carefree childhood, because it was also the helplessness of this generation to see and hear these ugly, evil and mature with one's own eyes.

At night, Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen slept on the kang and talked.

The moonlight outside the window was as clear as water, drawing lines on the kang through the window.

Pei Tian who was lying on the side had already fallen asleep. The Mr. Shen tucked up his bed and looked at the pitch black roof with his pillow and his arm in a daze.

Mrs. Shen asked: Shengsi, why aren't you sleeping?

The Mr. Shen said, "I am thinking that the children should still be educated. People must not study."

Mrs. Shen said in a low voice, "The school is already closed, where are we going to go to school? When I finished my work in the afternoon, I saw Tian Family's patriotism looking for you.

Mr. Shen said, "Tian Aiguo is a good child. He has his own thoughts and likes to think about why he doesn't go with the flow when things happen. When I was teaching these children, I already thought that Tian Aiguo was someone with potential."

Mrs. Shen said, "Wasn't he admitted to a high school in the county? This batch, how many did our village get into? "

The Mr. Shen said, "Yes, I did pass a few exams, but after experiencing so much, I can still stop and think."

Mrs. Shen asked, "Is there anything he doesn't understand?"

The Mr. Shen said, "He asked me what is the purpose of making such a ruckus and what is the actual meaning of it. If this goes on, what will happen? I said I couldn't answer him.

The Mrs. Shen said, "Then did you advise him to not think about these anymore?"

The Mr. Shen said: "I said you should read more. The production team has newspapers and you need to read more. Don't think about these things anymore.

After a moment of silence, the Mr. Shen said: "It's so nice to meet you all. Today, Pei Tian told me a few things, and I feel that it's very painful for such a young child to be living in such a depressed manner."

Mrs. Shen said, "So what if I feel heartache? It's fine as long as I can grow up safely."

Mr. Shen let out a long sigh and did not speak further.

Pei Yin opened her eyes wide as she looked at the moonlit skies, his thoughts floating very far away. In this era, it was so distorted, so ugly, even after being tempered by these people, some held onto their hearts and others floated along with the flow. Many years later, these thoughts would still affect people's lives ?
