Chapter 404: Efforts
"Grandpa and Grandma, Happy Chinese New Year."
"Hello grandpa, hello grandma, and happy New Year."
"Grandpa and grandma, happy New Year."
Because it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were very few people outside at the moment. After all, it was dinner time and the weather was cold. When the children met these strange old people, they greeted them with special politeness.
Mooncake and Rourou also clenched their fists with both hands, their bloated little bodies leaned forward slightly, and then shook a few times.
Luo Wanyi nodded to his parents and Lao Jin and his wife, and looked at them for several times without speaking.
If Father Luo and Mother Luo, who were standing more than ten meters away, had not covered their faces with turbans, their excitement and joy would have been obvious.
Although they were not far away, they were not close either. They could see the children clearly. They could only nod to them and move their mouths, but in the end they did not say anything.
Lao Jin and his wife specially accompanied Lao Luo and his wife out just so that Luo's father and mother could see Luo Wanyi and the children at this time. It can be said that they had gone to great lengths.
The two sides looked at each other for a while, especially Yue Cake and Rourou, who kept tilting their heads to look at the old people in front of them. They felt that the old people in front of them were so kind, and they seemed to like themselves very much.
Therefore, the two little guys kept looking at Father Luo and Mother Luo with smiles. Especially when they were leaving, they shook their little hands and waved goodbye, and kept saying goodbye with their little mouths.
Luo Wanyi and Zhou Huainan could only secretly visit their parents and old comrades on the mountainside at night during the New Year.
On the third day of the junior high school, they had to leave Zhoujiazhuang and board the return car. There was really not much time left for them.
Therefore, Luo's father and Luo's mother were really reluctant to leave their daughter's family. They were not willing to leave until Luo Wanyi took the children and disappeared without a trace.
Lao Jin and his wife could not help but sigh. They could feel the same, but Lao Luo's family was always much better than their own. They hoped that in the future, it would be as Comrade Zhou and Ronaldinho said. Yes, the light will come soon, hold on, hold on, and hold on.
Although today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Huainan still invited his close relatives from the Zhou family and some elderly people from Zhoujiazhuang who had helped him and his mother to have a meal.
It was too cold, so I ate from a pot. I brought two earthen stoves from Zhou Lao's party secretary's house, plus one from my own house, and then sliced mutton, pork, fish, chicken nuggets, tofu, potatoes, and winter melon. Carrots, cabbage, mountain vegetables...this meal is perfect.
By the time Zhou Huainan and Luo Wanyi arrived at the house on the mountainside, it was already after nine o'clock in the evening.
Fortunately, there is no work in the fields now, everything is in Maodong, so there is no need to get up early to work, so it is okay to go to bed late.
Because it was too late and the children had gone to bed one after another, the couple did not bring the twins over to show Luo's father and Luo's mother.
However, they will definitely bring their two children over tomorrow night, because they will leave early the day after tomorrow, and the next time they meet will probably be in the second half of [-].
This time, the couple came here mainly to encourage the old comrades to continue to persevere.
"Mom and Dad, if you persist, the situation will get better and better. I don't believe it will always be like this. After so many years, things will change."
"Yes, parents, old comrades, I think what A Yi said is right. No matter what it is, it can never remain the same. It's just a matter of time."
"Dad, Mom, if we persist, maybe things will get better next year."
"Yes, if there is anything missing, just tell my uncle and we will work out a solution together."
"Xiao Zhou, Xiao Luo, do you really think things will get better in the future?!"
"Hey, Lao Huang, we are living a good life now. We are well fed, clothed, warm and sheltered. It is not much worse. I am very satisfied with our life now."
"Lao Zhu is right, it is already very good now."
"We all understand what Xiao Zhou and Xiao Luo mean. Don't worry, we are living a good life here and we will not give up."
"Let's just listen to Xiao Zhou and Ronaldinho and stick to it. Nothing bad will happen anyway."
"Xiao Zhou, do you really think things will get better next year?! Do you..."
"Old Fang, Xiao Zhou doesn't know anything. Don't ask. We just need to work here in a safe and orderly manner. We should listen to the village party secretary and the team leader and do whatever they ask us to do. Don't think too much about anything else. To you Good for them and good for everyone.”
"That's right, Lao Fang, let's just listen to Xiao Luo, Xiao Zhou, Lao Party Secretary, and the team leader. We rely on them to take care of us secretly. It's much better than many people."
"Yes, we should be content with our current life."
"exactly."
"I just listen to Huainan and Ayi. They said it will be fine next year, so it will be fine next year."
"Both of us absolutely believe in the words of our daughter and son-in-law. Comrades, don't be discouraged. Even if we are living our current life, we will live well."
Unlike other old comrades, Luo's father and Luo's mother believed in their daughter and son-in-law. They always thought that the son-in-law might know something, and then told their daughter, so their daughter kept telling them that there was hope.
Regardless of whether there is hope or not, whatever the daughter and son-in-law say is whatever they say. As long as the daughter's family is living well, they will feel fine.
After being encouraged by Zhou Huainan and Luo Wanyi, the old comrades swept away their depression and decadence and became a little more angry.
Moreover, they think about other people elsewhere, and then think about themselves, why would they not hesitate to be blessed? !
Zhou Huainan and Luo Wanyi stayed a little longer this time. When they returned home, the children were fast asleep, and Aunt Zhou and Party Secretary Zhou were still warming themselves by the fire, waiting for their return.
At noon on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Fang Xiaohong, Shen Mengyun, He Aihua, Tan Qingqing, Guan Xiaofang, Shi Aidang, and Li Yuanzhi all came with their things.
They were specially invited by Luo Wanyi to come over for a gathering. Not all of them came empty-handed. They all brought rations and some meat.
The female educated youths did not let Luo Wanyi do anything at all, and obeyed her instructions, slicing meat and vegetables, and also eating from the pot.
Eating hotpot is delicious and comfortable in winter. The steaming meals warm your body after eating them.
In fact, Fang Xiaohong, Shen Mengyun, He Aihua, Tan Qingqing, and Guan Xiaofang were not here mainly to eat. They most wanted to have a good chat with Luo Wanyi.
After all, every time Luo Wanyi writes a letter, he always sends some study and review materials. Basically all of them are handwritten, both in junior high school and high school. They are very complete and are sent once a month.
Not only that, she did not forget to warn the educated youth in her letter not to put down the textbooks in their hands and not to forget the knowledge they have learned. Maybe they can use it one day. They are always prepared, and opportunities are always left to them. Prepared people.
Luo Wanyi naturally couldn't tell them that the college entrance examination would be resumed next year.We can only use the excuse of taking the factory entrance exam or working as a teacher in a production team primary school or a commune primary school to keep everyone from giving up studying.
After being reminded a lot by her, receiving so many review materials, and having no work to do in the winter, some people began to pick up books and study obediently. If one was there, there would be two. The atmosphere was improved, and more people were studying.
Especially Fang Xiaohong, Shen Mengyun, He Aihua, Tan Qingqing, Guan Xiaofang, Shi Aidang and Li Yuanzhi still trust Luo Wanyi.
