Chapter 152 Xing Fangcao learns that Wang Simin has been rehabilitated
The driver urged, "Old comrade, hurry up and get in the car! We have to leave right away and catch the train!"
Wang Simin said loudly, "Comrades, I'm leaving! I'll come back to see you all after I finish my work in Beijing! Goodbye~"
Chen Shuning stood on the low wall, a smile on his lips, watching quietly as the car slowly drove out of the crowd and out of Chenjia Village.
"very nice!"
Chen Shuning's whispers dissipated in the cold wind. No one except the Chen family knew how happy Chen Shuning was! Happy for this kind-hearted veteran! A hero shouldn't be treated like this...
Wang Erxiu stopped Lin Shitou and said, "Secretary Lin, please tell us how Wang Simin was rehabilitated."
Li Baozhen agreed, "Yeah, this is too sudden!"
“Ahem—” Lin Shitou cleared his throat and said loudly: “The document says that there are problems with his background.
Although his biological father is a capitalist, his mother is a poor peasant! Comrade Wang Simin grew up with his mother in a slum and never had a good day!
"Hey~" Chen Hongjiang slapped his thigh and said in a weird voice: "Why didn't he say it earlier! If he had said it clearly earlier, he wouldn't have to suffer so much~"
"What are you talking about?" Lin Shitou sucked his teeth and said, "The older generation is almost all dead! It's not that easy to explain.
I heard that this witness is already in his nineties! If we go there any later, the old lady might not be there anymore! It’s really too late~”
Lin Shitou put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "Alright, everyone, go away! Um, Chen Erlai, come in with me."
Chen Erlai followed Lin Shitou into the house, stood straight at the door, covered his face and started crying.
"Look at what you've accomplished!" Lin Shitou said in disgust, "Wipe your face quickly. A grown man crying like that, aren't you ashamed?"
Chen Erlai stiffened his neck and said, "I, I, I can't bear to leave Uncle Wang~ Woo woo..."
"He went back to Beijing to enjoy his life!" Lin Shitou patiently explained, "Now that he's been rehabilitated, even if he's not reinstated, the government will still find him a good place to live!
Isn't that better than staying in this remote and poor place like ours? Here, we don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, and we are also criticized and struggled against..."
Chen Erlai sniffed his nose, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stood in front of Lin Shitou without saying a word.
Lin Shitou sighed and said earnestly, "Er Laizi, before Comrade Wang Simin left, he gave you all the rations he had saved!
You can't let him down! Now that you're on the right track, you can't go back and stop doing sneaky things! "
"Yeah, I know!" Chen Erlai said with a sad face, "My Uncle Wang told me that he would come back to see me..."
Lin Shitou nodded and said, "That's good! I'll supervise you! And ah~ the blind old lady next door, I see you're taking good care of her, you deserve a compliment!"
Chen Erlai scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "What's the big deal! It's not hard for me to do the little work at her house."
"Okay~" Lin Shitou said without further ado, pointing outside. "Now that Comrade Wang Simin has left, I'll leave the village cow in your care! Do you know how to feed it?"
Chen Erlai nodded vigorously, puffed out his chest and said, "Of course I know! How to feed this cow, how to raise it, and what to eat when it's sick, I know everything! Hehe~"
Lin Shitou amused Chen Erlai, who said with a smile, "You~ Look at how good you are! Did you learn this from Comrade Wang Simin again?"
"Hehe~ I can't hide anything from you~"
Lin Shitou stood up and walked out, saying, "Alright! I still have things to arrange! You go ahead and get busy~"
The village election has been delayed for a long time. While all the villagers are here today, let’s hurry up and get it done!
"Attention all villagers! Attention all villagers!"
"Hear the broadcast and hurry to the brigade for a meeting! Hear the broadcast and hurry to the brigade for a meeting!"
Before Chen Shuning could even sit still, he stood up again and complained, "Oh! When will I be able to study properly?"
Chen Shuning hadn't read properly for several days. She was already feeling irritable, and the village meeting really added fuel to her fire.
Chen Jiawang put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "Stop complaining and let's go~"
If you were to ask who in the village least wanted to show up, it wasn't Chen Shuning! Nor was it Chen Qin, but Xing Fangcao, who had just returned to the village.
When Xing Fangcao heard the broadcast, she closed her eyes tightly, wishing she could disappear right there.
After Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi left, she slowly got up, tightened her clothes, dug out an old handkerchief and covered her head with it before leaving.
After leaving the educated youth center, she didn't dare to walk on the main road. She lowered her head and walked on secluded paths.
"Hey~ Did you guys go to watch the fun just now?"
Just as Xing Fangcao was about to turn into the path, she heard someone talking at the corner. She quickly hid behind the haystack and squatted down, not daring to be seen.
There was a sound of footsteps, and several villagers walked past the haystack.
"Are you talking about Wang Simin? I went over to see it, and that car was really impressive!"
"The Party Secretary said he was rehabilitated! I think he's definitely going back to Beijing to continue his career as a high-ranking official. I wonder if Chen Shuning can sleep at night?"
"Hehe... We should scare her! This little girl is too bold and has a bad temper. She curses at people all the time..."
"She should suffer..."
"..."
Xing Fangcao hid behind the haystack, tightly covering her mouth. Suddenly, countless thoughts flooded her mind: Was Wang Simin really taken away? Then, was my dream...
Thinking of her current situation, Xing Fangcao clenched her fists and made up her mind!
The only way for her now is to take the college entrance examination! Even if she has to borrow money, she will buy a set of books this time.
"Right! Go ask Chen Shuning! She's sure to know where to buy textbooks..."
Having made up her mind, Xing Fangcao smiled again. Once she got her high school textbooks, she could use the opportunity of studying to continue getting close to Xu Qingshan.
Also, she had to find a way to smooth over her relationship with Ma Lanzhi and Wang Na! Although that dream was too bizarre, hadn't it come true?
Xing Fangcao crawled out of the haystack, stamped the mud off her feet, raised her head with hope in her eyes, and walked towards the brigade.
Xu Qingshan studied every day, and Xing Fangcao figured that if the Gaokao were reinstated, it would be close. He wouldn't be staying in Chenjia Village much longer anyway, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Let them laugh as much as they want! When Xing Fangcao gets admitted to university, I guarantee that these onlookers won’t even be able to laugh.
The brigade office was full of people. Ma Lanzhi pulled Wang Na to Chen Shuning and sat next to her.
Ma Lanzhi complained quietly, "I just got back when I heard the loudspeaker going off. Secretary Lin should have said it earlier. I had to make an extra trip."
Wang Na asked curiously, "Shuning, what kind of meeting is this? Isn't it about Comrade Wang Simin?"
