Fengying felt that her youngest son was so sensible, but she mistakenly thought that her son was doing bad things outside without knowing it. She looked at her son with distress and felt full of joy and guilt. The dinner was very delicious for the family.
Although Lin Jin teaches in school, his family's life is not as good as that of the people working in the team. The government is in short supply of finances and the salary paid to teachers is pitifully low. The Lin family, which has raised four children, is indeed very poor in material life.
Fengying never complained to Lin Jin. She knew that Lin Jin was a responsible man, and he was the only one in the village who was competent for the teaching job. If he only cared about his family, no one would teach the children. So she always supported her husband's work. Even after the flood washed away the old stone bridge leading to the school on the other side, the children had to flow across the river to go to school.
Fengying would wait by the river to and from school to and from school to and from, and carry the children one by one, and carry them for several months. It was not until winter came that a bridge was built on the river again. Fengying suffered from rheumatism because she often walked in cold water. When the weather changed, her legs became sore.
Lin Jin felt sorry for Fengying and the children from the bottom of his heart. He felt really uncomfortable watching Fengying and the children suffer with him.
He taught diligently, but even the children's desire to wear new clothes could not be satisfied. The eldest daughter, as a girl, rarely makes a set of clothes, but she cannot choose the floral fabric she likes, because she can't wear sister and younger brother, and she has to continue wearing them. She can't let boys wear floral clothes, so she can only feel wronged Lin Zhixiu, who is the eldest sister.
A brand new clothes passed by several children and then moved to Lin Zhihui. The clothes were so worn out that they were ugly patched.
Lin Zhihui has never complained about the fact that he always wears worn worn clothes, but as a father, Lin Jin knew the child's desire for new clothes in his heart. Once, Lin Jin was going to do business in the city, and he was going to take the child who had never been to the city to open his eyes. When the boy found out, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep at night and was just thinking about going to the city to play.
In the city, Lin Zhihui saw his father Lin Jin take out all the cloth tickets that had accumulated in the house for a long time and pull a few feet of cotton cloth to make clothes for him. She realized that the new clothes he wore on him were borrowed by his father from someone else's house. No wonder the kind and kind mother would repeatedly remind him not to dirty his clothes.
It turned out that he was afraid that he would not be able to explain to others if his clothes were dirty. Lin Zhihui suddenly felt a little disappointed, but after seeing the few feet of cloth his father bought for him, he became happy again because he would soon have his first new clothes.
Lin Zhixiu studied for two years and did not continue to go to school. She knew that family was in difficulties and that four children were really embarrassed to study as parents. Parents would rather suffer themselves than to feel wronged.
The sensible Lin Zhixiu's considerate and hardworking parents took the initiative to help the family work so that her younger brothers and sisters could study with peace of mind. As a father, Lin Jin, of course, did not want to treat any child unfairly, but the family really couldn't afford to study for four children, so he had to bear the pain and acquiesce to Lin Zhixiu's approach. Later, the second and third brothers only finished junior high school and stopped studying, and participated in labor.
One day, Lin Jin heard someone say that the "Cultural Revolution" is coming. The more I listened, the more confused he became, and asked, "Don't teach? No more study?" The man said, "The teacher and the students have participated in the revolution. They said that reading is useless and the school is no longer in class."
Lin Jin was shocked when he heard this. He widened his eyes and asked, "Reading is useless. If you don't attend classes, what are the school doing?" The people answered very quickly: "Revolution!"
Lin Jin thought that the fire of revolution would sooner or later come to the village in the town. Sure enough, the revolutionary fire that was burning with flames licking the sky soon spread to Gongde Village, which was as quiet as water. Lin Jin never expected that the violent and uncontrollable fire would burn to their own homes, almost burning the Lin family.
Suddenly one day, when I was about to finish my work, Lin Zhixiu saw her eldest brother Lin Zhihong running towards this side in panic, and the eldest sister felt something was wrong.
She had never seen her eldest brother cry like this. Before Lin Zhihong could run to the front, she jumped to the trunk and asked her far away: "What happened?" Lin Zhihong cried and said: "A few people from the city came to our house to find my father and were beating people!" Lin Zhixiu was shocked. The two of them threw down their things and ran wildly towards the direction of their homes. The doorstep was surrounded by villagers.
Someone said, "Isn't the woman who takes the lead Wu Suzhen, who taught in the primary school in the village?" Lin Zhixiu breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her brother, "It should be a problem for my father to know."
As Lin Zhihong said, someone beat people at home, and the person who beat people was the team of Red Guards they saw when they were working in the field. They not only beat people, but also threatened to search their homes.
The group of people surrounded his father. His father was beaten a little blue and swollen by the cruel and uninvited guest. The woman in the lead interrogated Lin Jin who was beaten with a high opinion of himself: "Do you admit that you have worked for the Kuomintang newspaper? Do you admit that you have published reactionary articles in the newspaper?"
Lin Jin raised his head and answered the woman in a firm tone: "I am writing an article about fighting against Japan and saving the country, an article that awakens the patriotic enthusiasm of the people!"
The woman raised her hand and pointed her firm face with a firm face. The righteous Lin Jin said, "You have two ways. Either you confess your guilt and hand over the things, or we search them yourself!" Lin Jin still faced the imposed threat with an open attitude: "I have never written a reactionary article."
Someone in the team finally couldn't help but said to the leading woman impatiently: "Team Leader Wu, he is still stubborn, let's search the house and search the things!" Team Leader Wu said to Lin Jin, who was not in trouble, "Principal Lin, if you don't cooperate with our work, don't blame us for being rude!" After that, he asked the people who were traveling with him to search the house.
