At noon, because the children were happy as if it was New Year due to a meal of cabbage stewing tofu, Pei Hua's parents and Hu Ji Ming were upset.

After lunch, Hu Ji Ming said to Pei Hua's parents, "The teachers have already settled down, I need to go back and report. Shengsi, Glad to see you guys still have the money to take these two tickets, give the children and the teachers some food to eat."

Pei Hua's mother said, "Ji Ming, how can we do this, quickly take it back."

"These are not only my own, but also what the leader gave me when I came," said Hu. I've already talked it over with your village's elders. Although it's down, it's also to protect them, and these things can't be brought out on the surface, so I can only entrust it to the two of you to take care of them. "

Pei Hua's father lowered his head in thought for a moment, then took the thing in Hu Ji Ming's hands and said: "Ji Ming, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of these teachers."

Hu Ji Ming held Pei Hua's father's hand and said: "Shengsi, I know who you are, I will come again a year ago. Your county's chief is an old subordinate of my leader, and this time, I have used this relationship. Shengsi, you must remember, in a situation where you don't understand the situation, walk in front and take the risk. In the rear, you must protect yourself and your children well."

Pei Hua's parents nodded. Being able to tell them all to him in this period of time meant that this old classmate of his, Hu Ji Ming, really did not treat him as an outsider.

Hu Ji Ming left, leaving behind a few teachers. Pei Hua's mother kept the food stamps and money, then called Pei Hua to enter the house.

After Pei Hua entered the room, he first looked at his little sister who was kicking her legs and opening her eyes wide, then sat on the edge of the brick bed and asked: "Mother, what are you looking for me for?"

Pei Hua's mother said, "Pei Hua, you are really old now, Mother thinks that you can understand a lot of principles now. There are some things Mother wants you to know, so you can know what you should or should not do in the future."

Pei Hua lowered his head and was silent for a while, then said: "Mother, I have let my father down, I should not have followed him to make connections, and should not have helped him draw comics and ridicule others. If it were not for my ignorance, my father would not have coldly went out to dig a reservoir." A few drops of sparkling and translucent liquid dripped onto the matting and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Pei Hua's mother said, "Good child, your father does not blame you. Really, your father was already set to go out as a husband, and our family will be returning to the countryside to take part in the labor reformation. You must not bear any burdens, for Mother has something to discuss with you today."

Pei Hua wiped away his tears and said: "Mother, I will definitely think about doing this again in the future. If I don't understand this, I will definitely ask you and your father, and won't be acting on my own."

Pei Hua's mother said: "Pei Hua, for you to think like this means that you have grown up. You are the eldest son of the family, and in the future, if father and mother are willing, they will not have the time to take care of little brothers and sisters. You must help father and mother take care of them. Don't cry, in mom's heart, Pei Hua is the most sensible child. "

Pei Hua nodded and asked: "Why is Mother looking for me?"

Pei Hua's mother said, "When your Uncle Hu left, he left some food stamps and money for Father and Mother. These things belong to the teachers in the village.

Pei Hua nodded his head, and said: "Alright, mother, we will be less than ten miles from the county, and I will be going back and forth very quickly. Furthermore, I have already mentioned to the production team's Pei-ming that once we pick up the trash, we can go to the city's purchasing station to sell them.

Pei Hua's mother said: "Alright, I will leave this matter to you from now on. Also, no matter what happens in the future, we will not stick our heads out and don't fall behind either.

Pei Hua nodded his head, and said: "Mother, I understand. In the future, when I bring my younger brothers and sisters out, I will not talk too much.

Pei Hua's mother nodded, sighed, and said: "Pei Hua, I've troubled you."

The winter weather was short. Due to the lack of supplies, the villagers all put out the oil lamps early on to sleep.

After Mr. Shen came back, he slept in the same room as Mrs. Shen. Grandma went back to her room, the children were full of energy, they couldn't sleep at night and ran to his parents' kang to let his father tell them stories.

Many of the stories that were passed around for a long time could not be told anymore. Pei Hua's father tried his best to tell the stories about the heroes of the War of Resistance Against Japan, while Liu Ru listened silently with him, thinking back to his era where television and mobile phones were on the internet, adults and children all busy themselves, no one had time to care about anyone else. Although the current situation was not rich, it was filled with spirit, so when his father led the children to tell stories like this, it was still a childhood story that was worth remembering.

Time did not move fast because of the suffering of the environment, nor did it move slowly because of the children's wishes for the new year. Just like that, more than ten days passed.

Liu Ru slowly adapted to this poor yet abnormal society, slowly feeling the care of her family bit by bit. When she had time, her brothers and sisters would come to the brick bed to look at her, and her youngest sister, a small action, would be talked about for a long time.

After the child was born, his relatives came to give him rice, because no one dared to continue with the old customs of "broken four generations". It was just that on that day, his grandmother secretly cooked two more red eggs with Mrs. Shen.

The little baby was either eating or sleeping, Liu Ru slowly grew up while listening to gossip. Sometimes it was her family's brothers and sisters, sometimes it was her grandmother who was nagging at his mother, the other few elders in the family, Second Grandmother and Second Uncle, only Second Grandmother would come in to see her, other than listening to their conversation in the courtyard, she did not even see him.

The production team didn't have much work to do now. Sometimes, the production team captain would come to call for father to go to the fields and compose himself, and most of the time, father would teach a few children who hadn't gone to school to read at home. Sometimes, father would secretly go to the warehouse of the production team to check, and Mother would sometimes instruct big brother Pei Hua to deliver food there.

A few days after entering, the team killed a new year pig. Although the fourth is old and the fourth is new, but the new year still has to go by. For the new year, you all have to prepare some delicious food ?

When they heard the sound of the pigs struggling in the distance, Grandma hung the washed meat on a rope in the house and said to Mother with a smile, "The two pigs in the team have been fed well this year. They are healthy and strong, so we can share more of their meat."

Mother looked at Liu Ru, who was stretching her arms and kicking her legs for exercise, and said: "Well then, children can eat more good food. "Mother, in the next two days, we have been shouting like this for the little girl. It's already the Full Moon. Why don't we give her a name?"

Grandma said, "That's right. I'll let Father Pei Hua think about it in the evening."
