Chapter 4: Sun Zhiqing Is Really a Bit Wronged

The villagers in the yard laughed and stopped asking questions. They started moving sacks.

Song Yu Nuan was indeed a little tired, so she lay down on the kang.

Although the house was dusty and the walls were mottled mud walls, and even a newspaper could not be pasted on them, the quilt was clean and fresh, and it was very comfortable to lie down.

Just as she was thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps. The younger brother A Sheng climbed onto the kang, brought a pillow, and lay down beside his sister.

The voice was soft: "I will accompany my sister. If there is a big rat on the kang, I will be the first one to bite. Sister is not afraid."

Song Yu Nuan opened her eyes immediately.

Turning her head, the little guy was very clean, barefoot, with a chubby little face and black eyes. He looked cute no matter how you looked at him.

She pinched her cheeks: [Strange, why is there no information about my brother? Did my brother change his name after being adopted? 】

Song Mingsheng's eyes turned around, and then he hugged Song Yunuan's arm: "Sister, you won't change it in the future, right?"

"... Well, I shouldn't."

Song Mingsheng leaned forward again. The little baby's body was soft, like a glutinous rice dumpling. Song Yunuan felt sleepy, probably because she was staring at the beams just now. After a while, she hugged her brother and fell asleep.

Old lady Song stood in front of the window and whispered to Xia Guilan: "It's strange, Ah Sheng and Siqi have never been close. Look at this, sticky and leaning forward."

Xia Guilan smiled, the two siblings snuggled together and slept soundly.

After Old Lady Song finished cooking, several people also knew the rules.

You can't say what you hear.

You can't ask.

You can't communicate with each other.

Not to mention reminding Xiao Nuan.

It's better this way, otherwise it's too scary.

Old lady Song brought out a large bowl of fish sauce, and Song Yunuan was also woken up. She walked out of the house holding the little fat boy.

It was chilly in Nanshan County in April, but the sun was shining and the sky was blue.

Erdaohe Village was the poorest brigade in Kuihua Commune, and every household had a mud-brick thatched house.

The Song family had five main rooms, one east wing for living and one west warehouse for storing things.

The thatched roof looked low, shabby and shaky. The spring wind was strong, and even the cleanest house would be filled with dust.

However, there were bursts of fresh fragrance coming from the hall.

Millet rice, a large bowl of fish sauce, and a dish of fried eggs with garlic sprouts.

This was already a very rich meal in the Song family.

Old lady Song ignored her daughter's sad eyes and pushed most of the eggs into Song Yunuan's bowl.

[Millet rice with fish sauce, so fragrant, I hope I can eat it in the future. 】

Old man Song paused for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Xiao Nuan, I've put another fish basket by the stream. Grandpa will take you to collect the fish tonight, okay?"

"Okay."

Song Yu Nuan agreed obediently.

[Lin Qing reported my father. Some of the contents in the letter are true, but it's not a big problem. The main thing is that he embezzled grain and public funds to protect bad people. But if we check it out, we will know what happened. My father would not commit suicide out of fear of crime. It seems that my grandparents have not admitted their guilt, so they went to Beidu to complain. There must be someone in the village who my father has offended. 】

Song Yu Nuan thought while eating, and didn't notice Song Liang's shaking hands at all.

[This person is definitely familiar with Lin Qing. Maybe they contacted before entering the village just now. Wait for me to finish my meal and take a look. 】

Song Liang finished his meal in no time, stood up and said to Old Lady Song: "Mom, I just remembered that the three educated youths at the educated youth point told me yesterday that they had no food. Take out some of our millet and cornmeal. Oh, Guilan, there is so much fish sauce. Put some in bowls for them."

Old Lady Song frowned, took out the key reluctantly, and muttered: "We only have this little food. It's spring now, and it's the time when there is a shortage of food. I'm worried about what to do next month..."

That said, she finally took it out. Each item weighed about seven or eight pounds. Song Yu Nuan volunteered to help carry the fish sauce. Ah Sheng insisted on following, and finally took it with him. He was not empty-handed either, with a small bowl filled with salted radish.

The educated youth point was not far away.

When we arrived, we saw smoke coming out of the chimney.

After entering, we found that there were two female educated youths in the kitchen, boiling water in a big pot. There was no rice, but vegetable roots dug out of the ground.

It looked black.

The two female educated youths looked listless and greeted them weakly.

In the yard, a young man was chopping wood with a gloomy face, not even looking at them.

[This educated youth Sun had good academic performance, but he was punished because of a few years ago. In fact, he was framed. This year is the last year without age restrictions and the exam is not limited. It would be a pity if he missed it. He was kicked away by Lin Qing after being used. His life is worse than that of a beggar... It turned out that he provided the information. Why does he hate my father? Oh, the punishment was given by my father. At that time, he did not investigate it clearly and muddled things up. As a result, it was recorded in the file. In fact, this rule will be cancelled soon. In a few years, such books will be everywhere on the streets. Sun Zhiqing is really a bit wronged. ]

Song Liang glanced at his daughter, who was talking to two female educated youths: "…The relief grain has not been approved yet, and my father can't do anything. He knows that you have no food and is very anxious, but the brigade doesn't have a pound of food in stock. My father will share some of the rations at home. This is also the brigade's intention. Let's work together to overcome the difficulties, and life will get better soon."

Song Yu Nuan spoke slowly and softly, with clear and bright eyes. She held the hands of the female educated youths and was very close.

The two female educated youths said words of gratitude, and their hanging hearts were relieved a lot.

With these foods, they can save them and hold on until the relief grain comes.

There is no way, their families have no connections, they can't go back to the city, and can only endure here.

Song Liang glanced at his daughter with a smile on his face, then squatted in front of Sun Zhiqing and asked casually: "I saw several books in the kitchen, are they used to start the fire? Don't you plan to study?"

Sun Zhiqing looked at the team leader gloomily, suppressed his hatred, and said sullenly: "I won't study anymore."

It's useless to study until you die, but you are not allowed to take the exam.

There are many brothers and sisters in the family, and he still can't get a quota to return to the city.

Song Liang came closer and lowered his voice: "Sun Zhiqing, I want to tell you something secretly. The matter in your file will not be pursued immediately. You still have to study. I will register for you in May. You can take the joint examination with peace of mind. If you get into a good university, your uncle will be happy too."

Sun Zhiqing looked up in disbelief, with shock in his eyes.

That's not what Lin Qing said just now.

She said that his problem was very serious and he still couldn't take the exam, but as long as he helped her, she would get him a quota to return to the city.

In the 1980s, it was difficult for educated youth to return to the city. If they did not have a receiving unit, they would not be allowed to stay in the city and would be driven back to the countryside.

"Really?" Sun Zhiqing's voice was trembling.
