Return To 1977 Chapter 344: Big wall

After lunch, as Secretary An burped and led the family away, everyone in the village gradually learned about the marriage between Zhaoqing and Xiaoqin.
Especially those who followed Secretary An in the morning. They never expected that Secretary An's family, who came to the door angrily, not only did not have any conflict with the Yuntai family, but the two families actually became friends with Qin and Jin. This is natural It was a big surprise.
And most of these people are busybodies and gossipy old women, so they can discuss all kinds of things in private.
Some people said that Secretary An was asking for a betrothal gift. Knowing that relatives from the Yuntai family came to the capital, he opened his mouth and sold Xiaoqin to Zhaoqing at a high price.
There are also people who are jealous that Zhaoqing can get such a beautiful wife as Xiaoqin, and that he will have the brigade secretary as his backer in the future. Let's just say that Secretary An is old and confused. If he dares to marry into the "Five Black Category" people casually, he will definitely be implicated in the future and will be in bad luck.
Other people, on the other hand, felt that Zhaoqing was simply stupid for not going to college in order to marry Xiaoqin. It was a joke that he could have been a city dweller and could find a good job, but he had to stay as a farmer and marry a country girl.
But in short, most villagers are kind and simple.
Not only were they happy that Zhaoqing and Xiaoqin could finally get married, but they were also emotionally closer to the Yuntai family, a semi-foreign household.
Everyone thinks that Zhaoqing's ability to stay and marry Xiaoqin proves that he completely regards Longkou Village as his hometown. From now on, he will be truly one of his own.
And it is precisely this change in consciousness that will have great benefits in the future not only for Zhaoqing himself, but also for the families of Yuntai and Secretary An, and even for the entire Longkou Village, making Zhaoqing successful in life. Far more than what university to go to.
It's just that, not to mention that almost no one could predict it in advance at this time, even most people today can't imagine it.
Because to be honest, simple inertial thinking and herd mentality are not just common problems in this era.
The arrangements for the afternoon are very simple. The adults still have endless things to say, so the children don’t need to talk about any rules. Everyone has become a prince, and they can go their own way and do whatever they want
Zhaoqing volunteered to take everyone to fish.
For Hong Yanwen, Shouzheng and Hong Yanru, this is an activity they have never experienced before and they are all very interested. Even Hong Jun was clamoring to go.
It’s just that Andaniel is worried that the sun outside is too hot and the children will suffer from heatstroke. Especially Hong Yanru and Hong Jun, it would be terrible if they were really tanned. Don't want them to go.
Fortunately, Wang Yunlin was very open-minded and said, "Let them go. The Hong family's children are not that delicate. It doesn't matter if they are sunburned. Who can let them be happy?"
Just like that, Andaniel no longer objected.
Zhaoqing was very considerate and first put on the two straw hats at home for Hong Yanru and Hong Jun, the two key protection targets. Then he took the fish basket from the wall and took them out.
In this way, six young people and one child, followed by a yellow dog, walked to a puddle in the south of the village.
The water bubble is large in area, quiet and calm, and has large lotus leaves growing there. It looks quite beautiful. But Zhaoqing said that you should pay attention to the water plants below and be sure not to get your feet tangled. He also said that the water was very deep in some places and people had drowned here.
Hearing this, Hong Yanru became frightened and refused to let Hong Jun go into the water. She kept asking the others, "Are you okay? Are you okay?" Concern and nervousness were palpable, which meant that he should not go into the water. .
But Hong Yanwu said, just take Hong Jun and watch, and you will know later whether we can make it or not.
In this way, he asked Hong Yanru to take Hong Jun to one side to avoid it, and the rest of them took off their underwear and got into the water.
Zhaoqing was very familiar with the situation. He pointed to the east and said, the water there is shallow, warm under the sun, and full of fish.
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan looked at each other and smiled, then plunged in. When they emerged again, they already had a small fish in their hands.
Hong Yanru and Hong Jun jumped for joy on the shore. Zhaoqing took the fish basket and put it down, and couldn't help but praise it. "Okay, he's a good player!"
Shou Zheng and Hong Yanwen became excited when they saw it, and they also got in.
But these two college students looked simple. Who knew that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan had learned their skills through the sea, and they could almost be said to be the biological sons of the Dragon King?
In the end, they really followed the saying "A useless scholar is a scholar". After a long time of effort, they didn't catch a single fish and all of them were scared away! It’s pure chaos!
Not to mention Hong Yanru and Hong Jun making fun of them, even they themselves were embarrassed and knew that they had to humbly ask for advice in order to master the tricks of fishing.
So, from this moment on, Hong Yanru took Hong Jun and the yellow dog to look at clothes, swoop at dragonflies and catch butterflies on the shore. The five young men concentrated on drilling up and down on the water.
In the gentle breeze and the singing of insects in the grass nest, they spent a sunny and wild afternoon together. They didn't end up going home until a beautiful sunset appeared in the western sky.
At this time, their fish basket was almost full. They are all "ears of wheat" and restless little loaches.
Supper was naturally settled by their collective efforts. It was another kind of wonderful thing that can only be shown by firewood pots - boiling small fish with pancakes.
The big pot, firewood, bellows, and small bench. This time, Yuntai personally lit the fire under the stove and added firewood to pull the bellows. He was more methodical than Hong Yanwen, who was too tired to move. After a while, he put out the contents of the pot. The water is boiling.
Annelle began to pour the prepared fish in. She scooped out some home-made miso from the small jar, threw in two handfuls of chives, threw in half a head of garlic, and then used a big iron spoon to Stir slowly.
Zhaoqing grabbed a handful of reconciled stick noodles from the side and threw them **** the side of the hot pot.
In the thick steam, those yellow doughs looked like a circle of little piglets sucking milk, which was so cute.
Immediately after the lid of the large pot was tightly closed, Yuntai took out the firewood. The fire on the bottom of the stove gradually became gentle and gentle, and it simmered slowly over a low fire.
This family works really well together, as if they have completed a wonderful performance together, each performing their own duties and playing their respective roles very well!
We ate dinner in the courtyard. The smell of fish and pancakes came out of the pot, which made people feel nervous.
This kid Hong Jun is probably very hungry. He is too anxious to sit or stand. He always wants to walk to the pot, lift the lid and take a look to see what is inside.
When the pot was done, Andaniel brought another basin of fresh food to the table. New cucumbers with flowers and thorns on top, radish that makes water flow in one bite, and sweet but not spicy scallions are all used for dipping.
The sauce is pure soybean paste. It has been dried in the sun for a whole summer. When you open the sauce vat, it bubbles up and ferments at the right temperature.
Everyone ate a lot this night, and everyone had to eat dozens of "wheat ears" and loaches in their stomachs.
It’s just that Hong Jun is a bit picky about food. He didn't dare to eat the fish heads because he was afraid they would get into his stomach and rebel. How could he withstand the bite?
On the pancakes, he only likes to eat the crunchy ones on top. The thing tasted "crack-bang-bang", so fragrant and crispy that he couldn't even put away a few pieces.
As for the pancakes that had been revealed to be "crunchy", Hong Yanru took the initiative and gave the ones that she couldn't eat to Hong Yanwu. As her "uncle", she was a bit spoiled for choice when it came to her nephew.
The only one who felt aggrieved was the big yellow dog, which could only lie down in the distance and glance here from time to time.
Hong Jun looked at the pitiful yellow dog and asked his aunt and uncle why they didn’t feed the yellow dog?
Aniel told him that dogs in the countryside were never fed, and they had to go out to find food on their own.
After hearing this, Hong Jun understood why his "new buddy" was so thin, so he secretly hid half of the pancake again.
It is getting dark. The only thing that can be said to be more advanced in Longkou Village is that it has electricity and electric lights.
But after dinner, no one wanted to enter the house, so they didn't turn on the lights. After everyone cleared away the dishes, they chatted in the yard listening to the chirping of autumn insects using only the faint starlight.
At this time, the fields were all dark, and there were fireflies gathering in the distance, flashing and flashing, showing a mysterious unknown. It is very surprising to people who have never seen this kind of scene.
The sky above is filled with stars. The thick and strong Milky Way appears to be trance-like, densely packed, and delicate across Qiongyu. This kind of magnificence and romance is rarely seen in today's brightly lit technological age.
And night is also the time when Andanelle can best show off her talents. Not only can she cook, but she can also fan herself and tell many anecdotes.
Like a weasel worshiping the moon, a fox refining elixirs, or a hedgehog getting hit while practicing and will have to endure another five hundred years. There is also the "Galaxy angle, cotton trousers and cotton jacket, Galaxy bifurcation, single pants and single coat", which attracts young people at once.
The night in the countryside is really interesting.
On the second day, everyone got up early because today Yuntai was taking Wang Yunlin to pay homage to his mother's grave.
And because of the greetings yesterday, Secretary An also came early in the morning. He also specially found a carriage from the village to drive a carriage and personally escorted him off.
When they arrived at their destination, what surprised everyone was that the ancestral graves of Yuntai and Wang Yunlin were no longer the same place as before.
What they came to was at the foot of Jiulong Mountain at the west end of the village. There was no trace of Wang Yunlin’s memory of two stone sheep kneeling on both sides and the majesty of the stone horse. All that can be seen is a stone wall hundreds of meters long, with various revolutionary slogans painted on it.
Then, Yuntai found the article based on the content of the slogan: "The great leader taught us: learn from Daqing in industry, learn from Dazhai in agriculture, and learn from the People's Liberation Army throughout the country!" He reluctantly told Wang Yunlin that their mother was buried behind the word "people".
Seeing everyone's surprise, Secretary An quickly explained to everyone. It is said that this is Yuntai's great contribution to Longkou Village.
When the Ganqing "movement" began to destroy the "four olds", the village received instructions from the superiors to level the graves.
This matter is very difficult for Secretary An. He is a party member, secretary, and a filial son. Not leveling the grave? This belongs to the "Four Olds", and in the future they will have no face to see Marx underground.
The grave will be leveled, right? The task of the superiors was completed, but once they plowed the ground and dug up the bones of their parents and ancestors, they would be even more embarrassed to face their parents and ancestors when they got there tomorrow. What's more, the people in the village didn't do it, so he had to poke his spine, which was really embarrassing for him.
So he later held a village meeting and asked everyone to think of a solution together. But when it comes to this kind of thing, no one can do anything. In the end, Yuntai came up with a good idea.
If he says no, just move. To put it bluntly, this means moving the grave. His idea was to move all the graves in the village to a land with good feng shui at the foot of Jiulong Mountain. That's how I got over it.
But something happened later, and the superiors called for "Agriculture to learn from Dazhai" to flatten the mountains and transform them into terraced fields.
In this case, the ancestral graves of the villagers cannot be saved. Secretary An had to ask Yuntai to think about it again.
Yuntai finally figured it out after three days of hard thinking.
That is to first go up the mountain to open fields, and then use the stones dug from the mountain to build a large wall outside the villagers' graveyard and surround the graves. Finally, various revolutionary slogans were painted on the wall. This reflects the determination to learn from Dazhai and make revolution. Who dares to dismantle it?
As soon as Secretary An heard the case, he was so impressed that he immediately followed the instructions. As a result, Yuntai became a great benefactor in the village.
It is because of him that the ancestral graves of all families have been saved. This great achievement also allowed his family to live happily in the "movement".
It’s just that from now on, the villagers will have more trouble when worshiping. People can't get in, so they can only have fun outside. Each household has to figure out its own markings.
Although Wang Yunlin was very sorry about this. But knowing that there is nothing we can do about it, we are lucky to still have the graves of our ancestors left. This is thanks to my brother's resourcefulness and the care of the villagers.
Of course, she would not blame him, but instead thanked Secretary An for his thoughtfulness over the years. He silently placed the sacrifices brought by his family under the wall.
Then Yuntai took the lead and together with Hong Lucheng took several of his children to hold a ceremony, spread libations and burn paper money.
Only Wang Yunlin can know the unspeakable feeling in her heart when she knelt down to worship.
She remembered her mother sitting in a chair smoking a hookah and patiently teaching her how to manage the household.
I also remembered the way my mother hated Yuntai and complained to her endlessly.
I even remembered how when I first got married, after my mother seemed heartless and said the words never to be together, she tilted her head and held back her tears and handed her the jade flat square
Alas, decades have changed, and now people are separated from yin and yang.
After many years of missing her, although she found her mother's grave, she still rarely saw her through a big wall. And her mother, who has a title and can wear four dongzhu on her hat, is now buried behind the word "people".
All of this can really be said to be the will of God and destiny, but how can she be able to calm down in her heart?
In such a complicated and unspeakable mood, Wang Yunlin kowtowed seriously one after another. She forgot the time and counted, and the last one got up.
At this time, everyone discovered that although she was wiping her tears and did not speak out, the ground under her body was already wet.
