Chapter 812 [811] Age of Famine 52 (10 more)

Ye Huan's directness made the people in the Political Department dumbfounded. When he reported the matter to the dean's secretary, the two exchanged glances and laughed.

"She is worthy of being his wife who fought with him. She is indeed strong enough. What others said is right. She just feeds her children normally. It is her own favor. What does it matter to you? I said, Lao Xu, that's about it. That's all. It's not easy for a couple to fight together. They live in two places and have made contributions to the country. Don't let the good people feel cold."

The dean naturally sided with Tong Zhan and Ye Huan. Although the director of the Political Department and the secretary of the hospital did not understand Tong Zhan, Ye Huan's behavior today made them feel a little uncomfortable. It's Gang, but isn't it too disrespectful of them?

Just when the people in this room were thinking about how to deal with Ye Huan, Tongzhan suddenly opened the door and walked in with a very ugly look on his face.

"If you have any questions, come and ask me. Why did you arrest my wife? She doesn't know anything. She wants to find out and ask me."

The dean didn't expect Tongzhan to arrive so quickly. It seems that someone reported the news to him secretly. It must be two or three hours' journey from Hebei to the capital. It seems that from the time Ye Huan was captured to now, he He rushed over without stopping.

As soon as Tongzhan sat down, the director of the Political Department went to answer the phone. After a while, he walked in and the secretary said something in his ear.

After hearing this, the secretary looked at his colleagues in surprise: "You used to be the brigade commander of the special operations brigade?"

Tongzhan glanced at him sideways, said nothing, and then raised his head to look at the dean.

"Dean Zheng, can my wife be released?"

The dean immediately stood up and said, "This is natural. Hurry, go and release Comrade Ye Huan."

When Ye Huan saw Tong Zhan, the originally strong man's eyes suddenly turned red: "Why are you here?"

"Someone secretly reported to me. My daughter-in-law, even if you are not with me, I have to protect you. Are you feeling wronged? Let's go home."

Tong Zhan squinted at the people from the Political Department: "Do you need me to write you a detailed report and tell you where I got these milk powder tickets from?"

The director of the political department and the secretary laughed at the same time, "No, no need." Just kidding, at the brigade commander level, you can't get as much milk powder as you want?

If he had known that his partner used to be a brigade commander, why would he have arrested her?

As soon as the couple left, the secretary looked at Dean Zheng complainingly: "You already knew who the lover Ye Huan informed was?"

"Nonsense, I signed the marriage application report. Do you think I can know it?"

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

Dean Zheng was a little speechless: "So what if I told you? How else should you deal with it? Is it possible that you are afraid of Tongzhan because of his previous identity?"

"Did you do this on purpose?" Dean Zheng chuckled, with a good-natured attitude, patted the secretary on the shoulder, and said lightly.

"Old man, even if some people retire, their influence and relationships are still there. Do you know why he retired to the arsenal and became a factory director? That's because he made great contributions but hurt his body. Just because of him The achievements you have made over the years and the circle you have been in are not something you can reach in this life. Their two children only drink some milk powder. How about you? Or do you think that the conditions of the couple cannot afford to raise a child who drinks milk powder? "

"You old fox!"

The dean and the secretary had a serious fight. Others saw and heard, but pretended not to have seen or heard, and silently turned away. This circle is not something they can squeeze into. Knowing too much is definitely not a good thing, not a good thing. Son.

After this incident, the couple gradually felt that an unhealthy trend was brewing within the party. This incident obviously had little to do with it. After all, it was completely impossible for him to reach this point based on his level before fighting with him. However, some People just turn a blind eye and let the people below them mess around, as if they can't show the importance of their department if they don't create flowers.

"A Zhan, if there is a chance and there is a quota, we can go to the Frontier Corps. Just apply and I will go with you."

Tongzhan frowned and couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek: "Are you scared? Be good, as long as I'm here, no one dares to bully you."

Ye Huan shook his head, "No, don't you feel it? This time it's just an appetizer, pediatricians. Next time they really catch our little problems, they will magnify them infinitely. I don't care, but your body , I’m worried, so instead of waiting to be plotted by them in this way, it’s better for us to directly apply to go to the border to suffer. We are far away, and these people can’t plot against us even if they want to, right?”

"But the weather over there, I'm afraid of you,"

"My sister can bear it, why can't I? It doesn't matter even if I can't bear it physically, as long as I'm not mentally tortured."

"Huanhuan, maybe you are thinking too much, no one will be so free,"

You are wrong, there are really people who are so free. Even the leaders above were killed in that incident, let alone you?

Ye Huan couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only insist on making this request to him.

After Ye Huan experienced this incident, she became more wary of her colleagues, and her daily life became more low-key. Even when she went out at night, she was worried that someone would follow her, so she was always careful because she had already planned to leave. He was determined to leave, and after the summer harvest, the price of food soared.

After her family's fruits were no longer interested, they sold grain instead, and used the grain sales in exchange for milk powder stamps, cloth stamps, tobacco, alcohol, non-staple food items, or medicines. Of course, if there were antiques such as gold, silver, and jewelry, she would also take the order. Receive them all.

For example, she sells 21 kilograms of grain in the market for ten yuan per kilogram or eight yuan per kilogram. It is much cheaper than others, so business is naturally very good.

She would dress up in disguise every time she went out, but instead of dressing up at work, she would go to a deserted place and dress up again. If she found someone following her (someone really followed her), she would change her clothes to get rid of them. So while others are still looking for her on the streets, she may have already returned to the dormitory to take care of her children.

Just like this, after the autumn harvest of a certain year, food prices shot up even higher, and incidents of starvation and poisoning seemed to emerge in various places.

Ye Huan's family, because they have the food they saved in the early years, is still hungry, but at least they won't starve to death. At most, they just don't have enough to eat. In addition, Ye Huan occasionally mails some secretly. After returning home, the Ye family had a relatively easy time in *.

At the end of * year, Tongzhan's application for transfer was approved, allowing him to be transferred to an independent regiment in Xinjiang as the leader. Although he and Ji Huzi were not in the same place, they were both affiliated with the Xinjiang Construction Corps. Although they were at the same level, But Tongzhan has the rank of colonel, which is higher than the average regiment commander.

Because of this transfer order, Ye Huan was unable to return to his hometown this year. In fact, there was a famine at home, everything was in chaos, and he could not take his children back. The journey was too torturous.

So Ye Huan sent a bag of dried sweet potatoes to his family, along with a letter from them about their trip to Xinjiang after the Chinese New Year.

The family now knows that the couple has adopted another set of twins, so they seem to be okay with not going home for the New Year.

This year was spent in the transition between Ye Huan and Tong Zhan. On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the couple finished handling family affairs and various relationships. They gave away what should be given away, packed what should be packed, and went with them. This group of educated youth heading to the frontier boarded the train to Xinjiang together.

*At the beginning of the year, Liu Hongqing was 4 and a half years old, Danfeng Chaoyang was nine months old, Ye Huan was 30 years old, and Tongzhan was already forty years old.

The trains to Xinjiang are all full of people in one carriage and a truck carriage with no seats. When the train first started, there was a lot of crying.

It was the first time for soldiers to go to such a far place. The majority of the soldiers were male and the minority were female soldiers. Naturally, it was the female soldiers who cried, but the situation over there with the male soldiers was not good either.

It was the first time they were far away from their parents and home. The sound of crying reached their carriage, and Ye Huan also sighed.

Since they were at the same level, the superiors gave the couple a separate berth. After all, they brought so many children and the couple went together to support the construction of the frontier, so the superiors gave them certain preferential treatment.

They are going to Xinjiang this time. It is very cold in Xinjiang in February. Everyone is wearing heavy cotton clothes. Their carriage is okay, there are quilts after all, but the soldiers are not as lucky as they are. They can't go to the toilet or anything. Convenient, the entire carriage is packed with people and luggage next to each other.

We have been supporting border construction for an unknown number of years, and everyone is feeling a little depressed, which is a normal expression of emotion.

From time to time, Tongzhan would go out for a meeting or something, so Ye Huan would stay in the carriage with his three children, serving them food and drink, and watching them to prevent them from running around or crawling around.

When they got on the train, she was hugged by one person in front of her, and by another person behind her. Tongzhan held someone in front of her and carried their luggage behind them. There were two soldiers who helped them carry two large bags of luggage, and then they climbed onto the train with difficulty.

Ye Huan didn't know if she was taking the right step, but she knew that this decision would not only save Tongzhan from suffering, but also maintain his current position, and she could also contribute what she had learned. Suffering is inevitable, but the peace and tranquility in the rest of her life that can be gained through hard work are worth it to her.

Therefore, no matter whether it is right or wrong, since you have made your decision, there is no possibility of regret.

She steamed a lot of white flour steamed buns before she came. When the children were hungry, she would scoop some for them, soak them in boiling water and sprinkle some sugar on them, and eat them without any oil or water, not even vegetables, and the white flour was for the children, and the two of them ate it. Just eat hard, hard-to-gnaw vegetables and swallow them with boiling water.

Even though Tongzhan was the group leader, when food was in short supply, everyone had only vegetables and boiled water. It would be difficult to eat better food.

After all, the construction corps in 1968 was actually more miserable than in 1968. At least some places had already been built at that time, but at the time they went there, it was likely to be deserted.

Unfortunately, the reason why I fought with them was to open up new regiments.
