Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 111. Origin

Although after her rebirth, she possessed supernatural abilities, Shuzhen only focused on building wealth with her husband and achieving prosperity. Relying on others never crossed her mind.

But the more friends, the more paths you have; having strong allies is undoubtedly a blessing, not a curse, right?

After sleeping a night on the warm kang, by early morning the next day, everyone felt much better.

There was a meal again of cornbread and millet porridge from Lianshan, along with crunchy pickled vegetables and sauerkraut noodles cooked with lard.

Lianshan provided hot water, and each family received two doses of penicillin. Since their high fevers had already subsided, they didn’t take aspirin.

When everyone was tidied up, Lian Hai hurried over with the tents and cattle wagons that hadn’t been dismantled yesterday to take everyone to report to the brigade, and then send them to the cowshed.

Originally, once the reformed personnel arrived in the village, they certainly wouldn’t enjoy the privilege of cattle wagon transport, but Sun Accountant and Lian Hai coincidentally exaggerated their hardships. Afraid they’d be worn out to death, Lin Yuanzhi immediately agreed to Lian Hai’s request for transport.

Of course, these people had thin clothes, no bedding, and forget about cotton jackets, it was a difficult issue.

If not resolved quickly, even if saved now, they definitely wouldn’t survive the winter. freewebnoveℓ.com

Therefore, Lin Yuanzhi initiated a good deed broadcast mobilization across the village. From this brigade leader starting, everyone was to contribute a bit of kindness to help donate cotton jackets, pants, and bedding to the eleven reformed labor personnel.

The broadcast generated a lot of boos.

It’s not that the villagers were stingy or cold-hearted, the key was that every household was not affluent, okay?

In these times, each person received only a few yards of cloth tickets per year, and cotton tickets were even harder to get. Every household wore clothes for new three years, old three years, patched and mended for three more years!

Patches upon patches, even when clothes were worn out, they still had to be refashioned into shoe linings. How could there be any unwanted, surplus to give to people?

This autumn, benefiting from the Lianshan couple, they sold herbs to the purchase station and made a small profit while getting some highly sought-after tickets.

Otherwise, when winter came, members might have pleaded with Lin Yuanzhi to help them personally.

As for his call for good deeds, it wasn’t that everyone wasn’t responding, it’s just they truly lacked the resources!

After shouting and fussing for half a day, all they ended up with was Lianshan donating his old bumpy pre-marital bedding. They found two old cotton jackets worn in past years for Grandpa Jiang and Wu Hao to wear.

Additionally, the Liu family had a higher income this year, and both brothers had new cotton jackets made.

The remaining old cotton jackets naturally were eliminated and happened to be available when Lin Yuanzhi shouted over the loudspeaker. With inherent sympathy,.

Two cotton jackets, two cotton pants, plus Liu Shouyi’s old mattress where the cotton inside had hardened and was set to be made into cotton shoes.

Piling them up, the brothers carried them to their little sister’s house.

Cough, these things certainly did not require both brothers to handle.

It’s just that Liu Shouyi hadn’t seen his little sister for a while, and was thinking about her.

Moreover, he wanted to inquire about what happened last night, about how Sun Accountant bullied his little sister and dumped stuff on their couple. Once he understood the situation, as the second brother, he could confront that bastard with the surname Sun and vent his fury.

Already somewhat fearless by nature, backed by brothers-in-law known as the Eight King Kongs, Liu Shouyi feared no nonsense from Sun Accountant!

With thoughts of learning more and then exacting revenge, Liu Shouyi eventually came along, but what happened as a result was something he never expected.

Upon witnessing the cold, indifferent old man, who seemed to be in debt, break into a smile like the spring waters of the rivers when he saw Liu Shouyi, it honestly chilled the courageous Liu Shouyi a bit.

Before he could unravel the situation, the old man stared at him, making Liu Shouyi’s scalp prick from the stare, and finally asked his surname. Where was his ancestral hometown, were there any relatives left, and whether he had any elders in the military early on.

With a series of questions thrown at him, Liu Second Brother was left a bit dumbfounded, wondering why Wu Old Man wasn’t keeping cool and started asking household registration questions.

Seeing Liu Shouyi remain silent, only staring at him with bewildered eyes like looking at a lunatic.

Wu Liguo realized his abrupt behavior had frightened Lian’s little sister’s second brother.

Rather embarrassedly pulling at the corners of his mouth, he attempted to express himself sincerely, amiably. Unfortunately, having been hardened for a lifetime, his smile muscles were seldom used. So the result was somewhat lacking.

At least being offered a smile, Liu Shouyi secretly felt lucky: fortunately, his two little rascals at home hadn’t insisted on coming along. Otherwise, wouldn’t the old man’s grin scare his precious sons to tears?

Finally, Shuzhen noticed Wu Old Man seemed to have something to say, considering his strong background and seeing no ill intentions. She found an opportunity for him to speak privately with Second Brother.

Seeing the old man’s appreciative and approving eyes, Shuzhen knew she did the right thing.

When rallying the community failed, they had to rely on themselves, the accountant, several team leaders, and the women’s director, among other village officials to actively work. After finally gathering cotton jackets, pants, and bedding for eleven people, they could send them to work and live in the cowshed, pigpen there.

Shuzhen and her husband and Liu Shouren eventually learned from Liu Shouyi about the events and understood why Wu Old Man, though normal last night, turned from a cold block into river spring waters upon meeting Second Brother/Second Younger Brother.

It turned out that he resembled their deceased heroic uncle, Liu Chengji, who had already sacrificed himself.

Coincidentally, Uncle Liu had once been a great comrade shoulder to shoulder with Wu Liguo.

Because he was older than Wu Liguo, Uncle Liu considered himself an elder brother and often cared for Wu Liguo, his little brother. He pulled him from death’s grasp three times and ultimately sacrificed his life to save him.

Uncle Liu was lifelong unmarried and childless, his three nephews and niece as dear as his own, most concerned about his younger brother at home and his nephews and niece.

His last words spoke of having no regrets for the revolution and the country’s prosperity despite dying. His only unfinished concern was his younger brother and the nephews and niece, asking his little brother and uncle to take care of them if possible.

Due to unclear addresses, Wu Old Man had been searching in vain for years.

Something thought to be an unresolved regret of life, finally had a turning point in the depths of despair, how could he not be overwhelmed with mixed emotions?
