Chapter 53 Chapter 53
Although Lin Dakui was identified by Mrs. Zhang, he only conveyed the news to Mrs. Zhang at the beginning. Even if he was pointed out, it would not have much impact. Therefore, there was not much panic.
In addition, the commune cadres in charge of criticizing the old lady Zhang used to have an old relationship with Lin Laoguo. Although they knew that Lin Dakui was involved, they were not very happy, but they still helped to get along.
When Lin Da'an saw that the leader wanted to protect Lin Dakui, although he was dissatisfied, he could no longer insist on severely punishing Lin Dakui.
In the end, Lin Dakui was not pulled up to fight as Li Yufen expected. Instead, he was deducted for a month's centimeter and fined twenty kilograms of grain to compensate the old lady.
Li Yufen and Old Lady Zhang were very dissatisfied with this. Just as they were about to protest, they were stared at by the commune cadres standing next to them, which scared them to their heads immediately shook back.
The old lady also knew that Lin Daan was pressured by a cadre with a higher level than him. It would be good to be able to get her compensation under the pressure. Food and centimeters are more important these days, so she happily accepted the result.
The commune cadre didn't have much patience. After solving Lin Dakui's case, he immediately signaled everyone to continue criticizing Mrs. Zhang and the others.
It was not until Old Mrs. Zhang was not sure who had poured her head on her body, and she fainted without lifting it up in one breath. Because she was afraid of death, she had to announce that the criticism and fight meeting ended here.
Li Yufen lowered her head and wiped her tears. She didn't dare to watch the tragic situation of her parents on the stage. It was not until the people from the armed forces carried the half-dead Old Mrs. Zhang away from Shanglin Village that she burst into tears.
However, the popularity of this criticism and fight in the village lasted only a few days, and it was washed away by a sudden heavy rain.
After several days of sultry heat, the sky suddenly began to lightning and thunder, and the originally bright sky suddenly became dark.
Lin Yuan was following the old lady to tidy up firewood in the wild woods, because there were still many empty places in her space. As soon as the old lady hugged a bunch of firewood, she immediately put it into the space, which saved the effort of moving back and forth.
Just after Lin Yuan put away a pile of dead branches and leaves, he was about to continue cleaning up the next pile when he heard a big thunder raid.
Lin Yuan was so scared by the thunder that his heart beat faster. Seeing the dark clouds gathering above her head, she hurriedly put the next pile of firewood into the space. Then, before she and the old lady could run to the door, a heavy rain fell down.
Lin Yuan has never seen such heavy rain since he came here. He was like the long-dried seedlings, and was instantly energetic when he was soaked.
After she ran under her roof, she heard the other people in the village cheering excitedly. Many villagers who came back from work from the field didn't want to shelter from the rain. The man walked leisurely in the rain with his shirtlessness, while the children screamed and ran back and forth, all of them were full of energy.
The old lady was also very excited. Lin Yuan looked at her breasts standing in the rain and grinning, and couldn't help but reach out to pick up the rain under the eaves.
The heavy rain accompanied by strong winds, blowing away the original sultry heat in the air. Lin Yuan breathed the air with the smell of earth, making his body and mind feel much more relaxed and happy.
This is a timely rain. The crops in the fields are more severely affected by the continuous drought than spring. At this time, a sudden heavy rain fell, and the corn and other crops in the fields were watered. The farmland that was almost dead instantly rejuvenated.
Lin Yuan was shocked when he saw that the old lady was not stepping on her feet because the ground was slippery and muddy, so she staggered and almost fell down.
She was afraid that the old lady would fall or catch a cold, so she didn't care that it was still raining outside, and rushed into the rain and wanted to pull the old lady back.
The old lady smiled happily, and Lin Yuan pulled her into the house and wiped her face. Seeing that her clothes were soaked, she hurriedly poured a basin of hot water to take a shower for Lin Yuan first, and changed into clean clothes.
After taking a shower, the grandparents and grandchildren were too lazy to cook lunch, so Lin Yuan took out all the leftover food in the morning from the space, cut a small melon, and made do with the old lady to have a simple lunch.
The heavy rain fell for nearly twenty minutes, and it came and went quickly. When the rain curtain disappeared, the hot sun quickly steamed the water on the ground, as if the rainstorm had just been just an illusion.
Although the young and old in Shanglin Village regretted that the rain did not last longer, they were no longer as anxious as before. Not long after the rain, another good news followed.
The county finally got relief food from the superiors and was able to come down soon.
Lin Daan, who came back from the meeting, just as he informed the news, the villagers cheered, but Lin Daan soon poured a basin of cold water on everyone.
"Don't be happy too early. Since our village lives better than other places, even the county leaders have heard of this situation. Therefore, when it comes to relief grain, many people suggested not to give it to our village. Although after some arguments, they finally agreed to give it to us relief grain, the amount of relief grain we allocated was only half of the amount in other villages."
As soon as Lin Da'an said this, the villagers below were immediately furious. Everyone obviously couldn't accept this cruel fact and started to make noise.
"Why? Everyone is from the countryside. Although life in our village is easier, it is not much better than other villages. Why just give us half of the relief food?!"
"That's right?! We haven't starved to death yet. That's why the captain is wise and hasn't done anything conscience for political achievements. But we can't give us less relief food just because of this, right?! How can this work!"
"Captain, you have to tell the leaders again that not every family in our village has food storage, and there are many people who can't get rid of it. We are all communists, why is this part of relief grain unfair?"
Lin Daan was troubled by the chaotic scene. He had long expected that the villagers would be dissatisfied after hearing this, but he had really tried his best.
The reason why the county distributed them so little relief grain this time was mainly because of the disaster laid when collecting public grain in the summer.
The amount of public grain he handed over was too small at that time, and offended a group of leaders. Many people still disliked him. Now they finally took the opportunity to make things difficult for him, so how could these people miss it?
If County Magistrate Zhao hadn't asked for help to plead for him, he might not have even won half of the relief food. This made Lin Da'an smile bitterly and felt a little ashamed of everyone.
The villagers who were originally protesting and dissatisfied with the protests slowly calmed down after Lin Da'an's apology. Thinking that if Lin Da'an hadn't tried to keep more food for them, they would have said that they would have starved to death like the next village.
Thinking of this, the young young people who had just shouted at Lin Daan were slapped by the old man at home, and they all asked them to apologize to Lin Daan.
Everyone knows that Lin Daan has done his best this time. He can't blame him for the lack of relief food. This is because his arm cannot resist his thighs. The leader above wants to target them. Even if Lin Daan is exhausted, he cannot reverse their decision. They have no other choice except for receiving relief food that is half less than other villages.
Lin Daan not only moved the understanding of the villagers, but also felt guilty that he had not won what they deserved, so he decided to work harder to serve everyone in the future to repay the trust and support they gave.
Two days later, the relief grain was brought from the county to the township. Lin Da'an led seven or eight powerful laborers to bring the relief grain back from the commune, and then notified the families to start collecting the food.
Lin Yuan ran to the place where he received the food with his small pocket and directly found Uncle Da'an and asked to give her the twenty kilograms of grain that Lin Dakui should have compensated her from the relief grain.
After the punishment decision for Lin Dakui came out, Lin Dakui took the excuse that there was not much food left in his family and kept dragging it out. This time, Lin Yuan came to wait early in order to prevent Lin Dakui from continuing to pay the debt.
Lin Da'an agreed to Lin Yuan's request without saying a word and decided to deduct twenty kilograms of grain from Lin Dakui's family when it was the turn to save food for Lin Dakui's family.
Lin Yuan smiled with satisfaction. Lin Dakui and his wife who had just arrived were dark, but now the food is in the hands of Lin Daan, and even if they protest, they can only swallow the bitter fruit.
Lin Yuan is not short of this little food, but even if she doesn't, she doesn't want a villain like Lin Dakui to pay the debt. As for whether their family can't hold on with the lack of these twenty kilograms of relief grain, this is not something she needs to care about.
Lin Yuan and the old lady received a total of more than 70 kilograms of relief grain, most of which were coarse grains such as millet and sorghum, but there were still some old rice. Unfortunately, the amount was not large, and only five kilograms were given.
With the twenty kilograms of coarse grains that Lin Yuan asked for from Lin Daqina, he just made up one hundred kilograms of generals.
The same is true for other families. They have to eat this little grain until the autumn harvest, but at this time there is still one or two months before the autumn harvest. Even if they are eaten with sweet potatoes, it is a bit tight.
However, although there were not much relief grains, the young and old in Shanglin Village were relieved. Some time ago, because other villages all rushed to borrow food, which made the whole village chaotic. Now that every village has relief grain, they can finally live a few days of peace.
However, just as August and September began, the weather had just cooled down, Lin Yuan received a news that was not very wonderful for her. Her younger sister Luo Xiaohua was about to start elementary school!
Since she came to this world, the one who got along with Lin Yuan the most on weekdays is Luo Xiaohua. Now she learned that her sister was going to go to school, and because of her age, she became weakened.
Seeing that she was listless for several days but had not recovered, the old lady thought of many ways to coax her. Lin Yuanqiang cheered up and finally made the old lady feel much more at ease.
Lin Yuan proposed to go to school, but unfortunately, because there is no elementary school in their village, they have to go to the village to go to school. They have to get up early and walk for more than ten minutes to get to school. The weather is not cold now, and when it is winter, they will suffer even more. The old lady is neither at ease nor reluctant to let her granddaughter suffer at such a young age.
Seeing that the old lady could not convince the old lady, Lin Yuan had to give up the idea of entering school immediately. However, when the old lady saw that she was not tempted, she promised to send her to elementary school next year.
In order to make her granddaughter happy, the old lady had just had dinner and searched for something in the house. Then she took out a wooden box from the box and handed it to Lin Yuan, saying that it was something left by her mother during her lifetime and now it was handed over to her for safekeeping.
Lin Yuan was still very curious about the past of her mother Song Min, who had been in her life, so she opened the box and started to look at it.
In addition to two old photos, several letters written by her father to her mother, and two old decorations that were a little old, she found that she had two thick brochures in the box.
Lin Yuan looked through two photos, one of which was a wedding photo of her parents, and the other one was obviously a little old, and the corners of the photos began to turn yellow.
In the photo, a woman wearing an old-fashioned cheongsam was holding two children in her arms. The little girl with a braid could vaguely see the shadow of her mother Song Min, while the little boy who held Song Min and nested in the woman's arms aroused Lin Yuan's curiosity.
When she saw the handwriting written on the back of the photo, she was surprised. She really didn't expect that the little boy in the photo was actually her uncle and her mother Song Min were twins!
