Pei Yin fell asleep, half asleep, when she heard the sound of movement, she opened her eyes and saw that under the dim oil lamp, Second Brother, with the help of Third Grandmother, had slowly placed Jinhua on the brick bed. Shen Jinhua did not know if she had fallen asleep or fainted.

Pei Jun said: "Third Grandmother, I'll look after you first, Jinhua. I'll go call Shengquan's Mother over."

Third Grandmother hurriedly went into the outer room to pour water and change a towel to help Jinhua wipe his face. There were mud marks on Jinhua's face and some dried up grass and leaves on her head.

Pei Zhi timidly said, "Third Brother, do you think Sister Jinhua is sleeping or dead?"

Pei Tian swallowed his saliva, and said softly: "Don't speak nonsense, go outside and bring a bowl of water over, let's feed it to Sister Jinhua first."

Pei Zhi said in fear: "Third Brother, I'm scared."

Third Grandmother was busy with the matters at hand, and gently told the two children, "Jinhua is fine, you two don't have to be afraid.

Pei Jun said: "Third Grandmother, I'll go pour some water for you."

Behind him, Pei Zhi also followed. Third Grandmother cleaned up Jinhua's clothes and followed the two children to the outer room.

Pei Yin rolled over. Just from the dim yellow light, he could see that Jinhua was lying on the other side of the brick bed. She must be tired, and her hair was a little dry.

Third Grandmother pulled Pei Zhi with one hand and a black porcelain bowl with the other as they entered the house. She looked at Jinhua who was lying on the bed and sighed, then said: "Your Big Sister Jinhua is completely exhausted, I'll feed Jinhua some water. You two stay here and guard him, Third Grandmother will go and make her some food."

Third Grandmother placed the bowl on the table, then took off her shoes and climbed onto the brick bed. She supported Jinhua up against the wall, and with a pillow behind her back, she placed the bowl next to Jinhua's mouth and said: "Drink some water and rest. Your daughter, you sure are bold.

Jinhua woke up at this time, her body weak and leaning against the wall. Listening to Third Grandmother's words, she drank the water in her bowl, and a line of tears flowed down her face.

Third Grandmother said, "Alright, when your mother comes to apologize, your mother will worry so much that you won't feel well. When you are young, your mother will spend most of the night walking around the entire courtyard hugging you, and during the summer, your mother will fan your entire body with hot heat. You are already seven or eight years old, but during the summer, when you fell asleep with our children, your mother would wake you up and carry you home.

Jinhua was tired, after drinking some water, her body was full of energy, she leaned against the wall and silently wept.

The Third Grandmother sighed and said: "Don't cry anymore. Your mother will be here soon. Just wait here with your brother and sister, Third Grandmother will go and prepare some food for you. "

Without waiting for Third Grandmother to sit properly with the food, Mrs. Shen heard Pei Jun say that he would carry Jinhua home first. She asked Pei Jun about him saying that Third Grandmother had helped him clean his face and fed him water, so he went to the backyard to cook food. Mrs. Shen quickly went to help Third Grandmother cook food.

Third Grandmother was carrying a bowl of corn porridge, while Mrs. Shen was holding a pickled vegetable bowl with one hand and a small bamboo basket filled with noodles with the other. She entered the house and said: "Jinhua, your family has gone to find you.

The Third Grandmother looked at Mrs. Shen and said: "Good child, it's alright. When your mother comes back later on, you can just apologize to your mother. Your mother has been your eyes watching you all these years."

Not long after, there were anxious footsteps outside the window. When Shengquan's Mother entered the room and saw his daughter sitting at the brick table eating, he immediately hugged her and cried.

As she cried, she said, "Little girl, you're really stubborn. Didn't I say you could run with just a few words? What if you have something on your mind? What do you want your mother to do?"

Jinhua also cried, crying loudly. As sshe cried, he said, "Mother, I was wrong, I won't be like this again, please don't be angry."

Uncle Shengquan followed behind them and told the two crying girls, "Alright, alright, it's good that the child is back. There's still a child on the brick bed, stop scaring the child."

Shengquan's Mother wiped the tears off his face, and the Mrs. Shen behind him smiled apologetically. Mrs. Shen went over to look at Pei Yin, who was pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed, and said: "It's okay, Pei Yin's sleeping pretty good.

There were still a few people in the village helping to find their children. When they saw that Shen Jinhua was on the brick bed at Pei Yin's house, they left when they were free.

When Jinhua's grandmother saw her own granddaughter on the Shen Family brick bed, she was so happy that she acted like she was something, like she was an old wife bringing Shen Jinhua home.

Pei Tian was brought to sleep by his grandmother, where Pei Hua sat on the brick bed with the other two young masters. Uncle Shengquan took a deep breath and asked Pei Jun: "Pei Jun, where did you find Jinhua?"

Pei Jun said: "It's at the mountain back of the village. There's a small pit there, I saw it when Jinhua and I went to plant the cows. I used to go there often to play later on, there are still a lot of wild vegetables nearby."

Mr. Shen looked at Shengquan, who was bowing his head and crying, and said: "Tomorrow, if anyone in the village asks, can you tell me if it was too late to dig wild vegetables with Jinhua?"

Pei Jun nodded his head and said: "I got it, when I was carrying Jinhua, I met a few people at the entrance of the village, they asked me where I found Jinhua, and I said that I would go to the back of the mountain with Jinhua to dig some wild vegetables, but Jinhua had twisted her ankle, and we walked so far away before finally returning."

Mrs. Shen looked at Pei Jun with praise. Shengquan's Mother said with tears in his eyes: "Pei Jun, thank you."

When they were sleeping, the Mrs. Shen said to the Mr. Shen: "I didn't know that we, Pei Jun, were so cunning."

The Mr. Shen said: "Our mother said that when she was looking for Jinhua, she would carry those few people from the village on her back. When she went back home, she would stay with Jinhua."

The Mrs. Shen said, "It's like having an old man or a treasure, our mother thinks that things will happen before us."

Mr. Shen said: "That's right, otherwise, wouldn't a little girl like Jinhua be messed up by the people from the village? For such a young child, it is hard to say whether or not she can take on the rumors."

Mrs. Shen said, "I wonder if Jinhua can get close to Sister Shengquan like she did in the past."

Mr. Shen patted Mrs. Shen's hands, and said: "People can only grow in adversity, as long as they grow, they would know how to be grateful. Don't worry."

As the weather grew warmer, Grandma would sometimes take Pei Yin to the big locust tree at the entrance of the village to bask in the sun. Like Grandma, farmers were usually older people who didn't need to work, chatting and talking, and of course, every old woman would carry needle and thread in their hands, or take out their shoes to mend their old clothes. When they were almost done, they would go back to their homes to cook for those who earned money by working.

Pei Yin lied inside a shallow basket made of thorny branches. Sometimes, his grandmother would use a small blanket to wrap her around and let her sit inside it, but she wouldn't dare to do it for too long. The child's spine wasn't fully developed yet, so sitting there for a long time was bad for her body.

These two days, Shen Jinhua and Shen Jinhua had become the main character of the gossip in the village. But because had a grandmother, what she said was not too bad, and because everyone was thirteen or fourteen years old and had children, there was no need to make things sound bad. Grandfather and grandmother had formed a good relationship with each other in the Shen Village, and because the Second Grandpa was slightly knowledgeable about the arts, and since everyone present was invited to visit the Second Grandpa to check out the diseases that were not too serious, everyone's attitude towards the people in the Shen Family was still very friendly.

It was a common custom in the village. If a child saw an elderly person crying, it meant that the person would not live for long, and Pei Yin, not just anyone, as long as they went up to look at her, they would reveal their two small teeth, squinting their eyes and making sounds. If they wanted to piss, they would hum a few times, and their grandmother, who knew how to do it, would go over to the side to help.

Hong Genji's wife did not lose out, and Hong Genji's mother did not hold back either. Jinhua's big ruckus was caused by Hong Genji's wife, but Hong Genji's mother acted like nothing had happened. Sometimes, when she met Jinhua's grandmother under the scholar tree, she would even affectionately greet her, and did not mention anything about Hong Genji's wife speaking nonsense.

Pei Yin lied in the bamboo basket, looking at the blue sky through the mottled leaves, listening to the nagging of her grandmothers, who would think about the affairs of his family when they were bored.

Second Uncle Shen Shengqin was about to find a wife to marry into his family. If he were to find someone who knew his place and live a peaceful life, he would be able to live a peaceful life for his family of old people and children. If he found someone like his wife, it would be troublesome, and he would not be able to live a peaceful life.

These few days, there were a few people who mentioned this to Grandma. Grandma's reply was to go home and discuss it with them, but in reality, they were waiting for Shengquan's Mother to find them a suitable one.

Within a few days, Jinhua's matter was forgotten by the villagers, because a huge incident happened in the village.

The Red Guards would fight with each other every day. No one knew who gave this letter to them, but they took a glance at Shen Village and the few lower right wing.

There was a young man from the Hong Genji Family who was the same age as Pei Hua. He had gone to the first county high school with the Tian Aiguo from the Secretary Tian and was now a small leader of the Red Guards from the commune.

The leaders of the Red Guards' organization were no longer in charge of the commune. These young men and women of seventeen and seventy-eight came to the house every day with red books to inspect the place, and in order to respond positively to the Central Committee's call, the leaders of the commune had to attend the Red Guards' punitive meeting. That morning, Tian Aiwen, a Tian Honggen kid, and a group of Red Guards wearing green uniforms and with red sleeves came into the village.

Such a great display of power caused those who were about to go to work to stop and watch. A group of children even followed behind them, and when they saw that they had barged into the sheds where the old professors were staying, some of the more quick-witted ones quickly called out to the elders of the Shen Family and Tian Family.

A group of hot-blooded youths pushed a few elderly people out of the village. Before they could reach the old locust tree at the entrance, they were stopped by a few elderly people.

The Third Grandpa of the Tian Family leaned on his walking stick as he looked at Tian Aiwen who was walking in front of the group with a red book in his hand and shouted: "Little brat, what are you doing?"

Tian Aiwen said solemnly: "Chairman Mao has taught us that all reactionaries are paper tigers. Third Grandpa, I am no longer called Tian Aiwen, I am Tian Weidong, sworn to protect the Great Leader, Chairman Mao. We are here to fight these reactionaries."

The Third Grandpa said: "These reactionaries receive education from the poor, middle peasants here. The effect of education is very good.

, who was being carried by his grandmother in the middle of the crowd, unknowingly smacked his lips when he heard Third Grandpa's words. He was truly an intelligent person, although Third Grandpa was not very proficient in sports, he was able to think of a safest method in the shortest amount of time. The Red Guards were all children of the nearby villages, and the Third Grandpa had a very high prestige in the villages.
