Pei Hua's mother asked: "Mother, Father Pei Hua didn't eat anything, right?"

's mother said, "No, I heard that it was just to dig a reservoir this time. All the people that we went to the village to dig up were people who came back with shovels and dirt, that's right, father Pei Hua brought someone back, saying that he's your classmate. I will make some food for them to eat first to make them feel warm."

Pei Hua's father and a middle-aged man lifted the curtain and entered the room.

Liu Ru heard a refined and elegant voice and said, "Pleasant, look who this is?"

Pei Hua's mother took a look and said happily: "Hu Ji Ming, it's really you."

Hu Ji Ming smiled and said, "That's right, that's me. We haven't seen each other for years. Look at you two, this is the fifth child, right?"

Liu Ru heard her mother blush as she said, "Yeah, this is Little Wu, he was just born yesterday."

Hu Jiaming said, "There's so many people in our class, but only you two have the most children. Ai, it's been twenty years now." His mind felt distant.

Pei Hua's mother said, "Why are you here?"

Hu Jiiming said in a low voice, "I'm escorting a few teachers here for labor reform. Sigh, one of them is one of our teachers."

When Liu Ru heard this, she could more or less understand the current era.

After the three of them were silent for a while, Liu Ru's father whispered, "Ji Ming, the current situation ?"

"The form isn't good, the students have rebelled, and many teachers in the school are being criticized. Shengsi, ah, you were actually very lucky to be sent back two years ago to reform the academy, you don't even know what the form will be in the future. You guys should take less of a shock here, and remember your old classmate's words.

The couple agreed as Grandma carried two big bowls of stick noodle soup, a stick noodle cake and spicy pickled vegetables. She said, "There's nothing delicious at home, so I'll just eat some cushions to warm my body."

After dinner, the three adults lit the kerosene lamp to chat, Liu Ru closed her eyes and listened to their conversation.

"It's not normal for schools to start in series," said Hu. "The students took a bus to Beijing and began to 'break four old schools and four new schools'. They burned a lot of good stuff. Alas, everything was a mess from top to bottom."

After a moment of silence, Hu Jiaming continued, "When we went to school, we would march on the streets because we were anti-feudal and anti-imperialist, and now the children are going to march against their teachers. As we watched those white-haired teachers stand in the carriages and parade on the streets, I couldn't even describe the bitterness in our hearts."

Pei Hua's mother said: "The times are different now, we don't know what the children are thinking anymore."

After a moment of silence, Hu Ji Ming said: "Look at me, it's rare for me to come across such heavy topics. Shengsi, I'm glad that you guys are taking these kids and living a good life, waiting for the day when we are free to meet. Our class will hold a big gathering, and at that time, I'll tell everyone to come and take these kids with me."

Beautiful thoughts always made people happy, Pei Hua's mother said, "Alright, then our class must have around thirty people, other than those who went to the foreign countries, the majority of them should be in the capital."

"Well," said Hu, "but this time there are a few who are going back to their hometowns to work with you. Pleasantly, you must take good care of these children. This is our hope."

Pei Hua smiled and said, "Alright, I'll definitely take care of the children. "Oh right, Ji Ming, you weren't married when we left right? Are we married now?"

Hu Jiaming said, "No, I have a lot of things to worry about right now, so I haven't had the time to think about them yet. When I'm ready to get married, I'll definitely come and tell you about them."

The three adults spoke softly. They were people who had gone through the War of Liberation against Japan and had gone through many brutal battles. If their words were to be overheard, it might become a crime that no one would ever be able to understand.

Pei Hua's father said: "Pei Hua's mother, the few teachers who came this time were all grabbed by the students. Ji Ming knew that we were here, that's why he brought the teachers here. "Pleased, let's see if there are any teachers in our house who can still use them. Let my mother find one and send it over to them."

Pei Hua's mother said, "We should still send them over secretly. We should still come back to reform it. If those people knew about it, they would probably go through quite a lot of trouble."

Pei Hua's father nodded and said to Hu Ji Ming: "Our Shen Village is not big, and we use this surname for the majority of the time. Although the clan's thinking is a lot weaker, there are still some elders in the village who are still discussing things. I was knocked down and sent back to the village for labour reform, but the villagers are still quite good to our family. Tomorrow, you and I will go find the seniors of our Shen Family and talk about these teachers, the seniors still respect the most knowledgeable people, and with them restricting the young, the teachers will be able to endure less pain.

Hu Jiaming nodded and said, "That's for the best. Ai, the situation is unclear, but we all have to put our tails between our legs."

When Liu Ru heard the words' series of events', she recalled that pitiful amount of historical knowledge and made some calculations in her heart. It should be 1966, alas, there were still ten years left, her childhood would have to pass in such an absurd period of time.

He did not know when he fell asleep, but the next day, when he woke up, the sky was already bright. When he opened his eyes, he saw her sister Pei Zhi with a ponytail on her head. Liu Ru pursed her lips and laughed at Pei Zhi, who immediately shouted to his mother who was lying beside him: "Mother, Mother, quickly come and see, your sister is smiling at me.

Pei Hua's mother said with a smile, "Your little sister just got born, how could she smile? You must have seen wrongly."

Pei Zhi pouted and said: "It was obviously just a smile." 's mother quickly stopped her and said: "Pei Zhi, you can't poke your little sister's face with your hand. Your little sister has just been born, her skin is still very tender."

Pei Zhi pouted and said: "I want to let little sister laugh one more time so mother can see."

Pei Hua's mother laughed as he caressed Pei Zhi's ponytail and said, "Can you wait for your younger sister Pei Zhi to come back and tease your younger sister again? My sister is too young now, and doesn't understand anything. "

Pei Tian lifted the curtain and entered the house, then said to his mother: "Mother, big brother told Second Brother that my father came back last night, is it true?"

Pei Hua's mother said, "That's right, your father has returned, but your father has matters to attend to with your uncle Hu. When they return, you all have to greet your uncle Hu, and also greet your father."

The two of them nodded their heads seriously, and Pei Tian said: "I have to ask my father if he has eaten well these few days, Jianjun said that his father did not have enough food when he went with his husband, and when he returned, he was so hungry that he could not walk anymore."

Pei Zhi said: "Mother, do we still have anything good to eat? Let's make it for my dad to eat. My dad would be better off if he eats until he's full. "

Grandma carried a wicker basket filled with soybeans into the house and said, "Okay, let's make some good food for your dad. In a while, Grandma will go change some tofu. How about we have some cabbage and stew some tofu at noon?"

Pei Tian and Pei Zhi cheered. In this era, being able to eat tofu was something that was worth being happy about for a long time. Liu Ru felt sad in her heart.
