Scholars in the courtyard

Liu Haizhong volunteered to check what was going on in the backyard. There were only a few households in total. Everyone looked up, and then someone shouted, "Xu Damao is not here."

"Where's Xu Damao?"

Liu Haizhong asked strangely after hearing this. You must know that although Xu Damao was in labor camp at the steel rolling mill, he was not restricted there.

Of course, the schedule and rest are different from those of workers, but up to this point, they are all at home.

Why haven't you seen anyone today?

Several people around him shook their heads.

"Dad, I guess he's at the steel rolling mill right now."

Liu Guangtian said something and Liu Haizhong nodded. This is the time to work.

I didn’t ask any more questions.

Siheyuan, in the middle courtyard.

Qin Huairu looked pale and stood under the locust tree holding a small locust flower, looking at the gloomy night sky from time to time.

"Mom, are you really not going?"

In the room, Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted coldly.

"Don't worry, after so many years, there's never been a time when I took off my pants and farted without seeing the shit."

"This time it must be a fool's errand."

"Besides, Sijiu City is so big, how can it take care of us here? Come in and eat quickly."

In the room, Mrs. Jia Zhang was swearing, not forgetting to stuff the smelly steamed buns into her mouth.

"But, everyone has gone."

Qin Huairu thought for a moment, then pulled Xiaodang towards the house.

"Fuck them, a bunch of old fools! Leave them alone."

"Eat quickly."

Mrs. Jia Zhang greeted, "The world is big and the earth is big and the food is the biggest."

Ever since Qin Huairu brought back the steamed buns, she could finally fill her stomach with just these steamed buns.

Of course, it would be nice to have meat.

Look at the middle courtyard, Yang Xiaotao's family is rich in fish and meat. The little daughter-in-law ate six chickens during her confinement period. Six chickens. Their family couldn't eat two chickens in a year.

Wang Dashan's family guards the slaughterhouse, and the boys in the family are as strong as cows.

There are also a few workers in the steel rolling mill. Life has been getting better and better every day in the past few years, and their children are born like rats. They can only have children if they don't have enough to eat.

Counting over and over, it turned out that their family was the worst in this courtyard.

In the past, there was a fool like Shazhu who brought them lunch boxes, but now it's better and no one can leave the steel rolling mill.

Jia Zhang was eating steamed buns, while Qin Huairu sighed and led Xiaodang to sit down and continue eating.

If a bomb were to fall from the sky, she would admit it.

Banggeng on the side didn't know what to think, so he took two bites of steamed buns and ran out.

"Where are you going, Bangge?"

Qin Huairu shouted, but Banggeng didn't even look back.

"shit!"

…

At this time, Xu Damao was running out of the backyard.

After realizing that he couldn't do anything because his family had no money, Xu Damao thought about how to make money.

Of course, I would never dare to do anything illegal again.

If you get caught again, you'll have to wait until you're in jail.

After much thought, I still have to start with the projectionist.

He took advantage of his return home at night to go back to his father. When his father was a projectionist, he used an old camera.

Later, the factory replaced a new projection machine, and the old one broke down, so his father used one month's salary to replace it and it became a household item.

He used to play around with it when he was little.

Xu Damao put his mind on this old machine. Sure enough, Xu's father was such a son. Seeing that Xu Damao was really pitiful, he gave him the machine.

In the past few days, every time I get off work, I rush out and go back to work in the rolling mill at eight o'clock.

During this period, Xu Damao made an excuse to go home for dinner. Relying on his previous relationship, he shamelessly went to show movies to others, but he also earned some extra money.

I also have something in my pocket.

At this time, just as I was about to go home after the screening, I heard a sound.

Xu Damao ran back to the courtyard without saying a word, and then ran out.

At this time, the safest and most important thing is to go to the air raid shelter.

Who knows when a lump of iron will fall off the top of his head, especially since he has been suffering from back pain lately!

When he came to the front yard, Xu Damao suddenly heard something going on at the third uncle's house. Out of curiosity, he saw a figure rummaging around inside quickly. Upon closer inspection, it was Bangge.

Xu Damao rolled his eyes and hid aside without disturbing Bang Jie.

When Banggeng came out again, he held something in his hand and scanned the surroundings with one eye. When he saw no one, he immediately ran to the alley.

Xu Damao was hiding aside, with rumbling sounds coming from above his head from time to time. His head trembled, but his eyes were still fixed on the stick.

After a while, Banggeng stopped in front of the garbage pile at the entrance of the alley. He stretched out his hand and pulled it twice on the ground, then turned around and fell from the corner.

He learned this ability of hiding things from Jia Zhang.

Moreover, this is a place where garbage is stored. Most people would never think of hiding anything here.

Bangge carefully stuffed the money in his hand and then quickly ran back to the yard.

When Bangge ran away, Xu Damao came running over.

Looking at the garbage pile, his nervousness made him forget about the pungent smell and carefully rummaged through the garbage pile.

"Damn it, you didn't even choose a better place to hide."

Xu Damao only saw Bangge tinkering on the wall, but he didn't see which piece clearly, so he could only look for it piece by piece.

snap

Suddenly, a brick became loose after being knocked. Xu Damao was so happy that he quickly pulled out the brick and reached inside.

The next moment, he clenched a ball of something in his hand. After a vague glance, he knew it was coins.

“Damn it, it’s true that a horse won’t get fat without night grass, and a person won’t get rich without windfall!”

With that said, he put the money in his pocket and quickly ran to the nearest air-raid shelter.

…

Yangjiazhuang

Gao Yufeng immediately ran out of the brigade headquarters after receiving the call.

Yang Dazhuang was still wondering what was going on, but Gao Yufeng had already ran over to explain the situation.

"What?"

Yang Dazhuang still couldn't believe that a village like theirs deserved attention.

But this is the case in real time, I have to believe it.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and let everyone hide in the cellar according to the plan."

"Also, send someone to inform others and make preparations to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Mr. Yang was talking to the side. Yang Dazhuang understood immediately and ran to the side gratefully to sound the alarm.

Dang Dang Dang

The sound rang over the village, and everyone in Yangjiazhuang woke up from their sleep. After understanding the source of the sound, they immediately took their wives and children to hide in the reserved cellar.

The militiamen in the village also gathered and began to patrol and implement light control.

"Master, what should I do with these grains?"

"Don't worry about it. It's just a fool's errand. As long as we don't mess around, they can't see it."

"Also, keep an eye on the livestock and don't be frightened."

Mr. Yang reminded him from the side, and Yang Dazhuang gradually got into the mood and began to arrange work.

The elderly and children were properly placed, and the militiamen, led by various captains, also entered key areas of the village to guard against trouble.

Not long after, I heard fire coming from above my head, and then a booming sound.

Everyone calmly waited.

Forty-Nine City, in the air raid shelter.

A group of people huddled together, running out in the middle of the night, yawning constantly.

Yang Xiaotao held his son in one hand and let Ran Qiuye lean on him to rest. Wangcai was wagging his tail at the side.

There was a faint rumbling sound in my ears, and I just endured it slowly, heart-wrenching.

When the cancel alarm sounded again, the sky had already turned white.

"Gone! Gone. Home."

The sound rang out, and everyone yawned and left the air-raid shelter one after another. When they came out, they were surrounded by people going home.

Yang Xiaotao also took his wife and children back home.

Looking at the half-cooked food in the pot, Yang Xiaotao quickly packed it away and prepared to cook.

Ran Qiuye hugged the little Dragon Boat Festival. Fortunately, the little guy had ready-made food. He was full but content in the air-raid shelter.

After the family had dinner, Yang Xiaotao went to the steel rolling mill to see the situation.

Others in the courtyard also walked out of their homes and got ready to go to work.

Living in this day and age, such beatings are not uncommon.

And this is why people would rather eat less and support Guo Jia's construction.

There is a sword hanging over your head. If you don't break it, you will never be able to lift your head.

In Yangjiazhuang, everyone came out of the cellar, looked at the rising sun in the sky, went home silently, and started the day's work.

In the brigade headquarters, several people in charge of the farm gathered together.

"Director Gao, do you think they are coming for us?"

"yes."

Gao Yufeng's concise answer made everyone in the room feel tense.

"To be more specific, it's coming towards the corn." Director Gao picked up the cigarette, equally worried.

"It's not convenient for you to know some things, but just know that the other person is here for the corn."

Mr. Yang smoked his pipe and pot, and the shredded tobacco made people choke.

"Director Gao is right, a village as big as ours is not worth it."

"The real value is these grains, or seeds."

Yang Dazhuang and others nodded, and then expressed their stance, "Since they want to destroy the seeds, I will take people to hide them."

"You can see it from the ground, but I'm hiding underground to see what they do."

Pan Jianjun on the side nodded, "The captain is right."

"I agree."

Gao Yufeng also nodded, and soon the farm reached an agreement.

Not long after, everyone in Yangjiazhuang began to gather and arrange tasks.

Within today, hide the food underground.

The task was issued and everyone took action immediately.
