Chapter 135: Rehabilitating the Zeng Family
The next day, Huo Haocheng drove Ruan Ruan, Zheng Xuyang, and Huo Haoshen to Zengjia Village. They had thought about coming here before, but from the information they got from 520, Ruan Ruan felt that they could not let down the families who had made great contributions, so they came here now after the matter had come to a conclusion.
Moreover, Zeng Yunye is truly a member of the Zeng family. On the surface, he was sent down with his grandfather, but in fact, relying on the Zeng family's connections over the years, he led the villagers of Zengjia Village to live a relatively wealthy life.
"It looks like Zengjia Village has a good harvest!" As soon as they entered the village, many villagers looked over. The people in the car also looked at them. Huo Haoshen even sighed.
"How do you know?" Ruan Ruan, who knew the truth, wanted to hear what Huo Haoshen said.
“Look, the people here, whether they are old or young, all wear patched clothes. At first glance, it gives people the illusion that they are very poor. However, if you look closely at their faces and hands, if they were really so poor that they had no food to eat, they should all be skinny. How could they be like this now? Except for the white hair on their heads and a few wrinkles on their faces, the elderly are all full of energy.
You are looking at children. If their families cannot afford food, shouldn’t they go to work with adults to earn work points? How can they play and read? Have you ever seen a poor family treat a half-grown child like this?
Several people followed Huo Haoshen's words and kept looking at the old people and children outside the car. As Huo Haoshen said, each of them was in good spirits.
"Auntie, I want to ask you something about someone. Where does Mr. Zeng Yuzeng live?" Ruan Ruan got out of the car, carrying the fruit candies she had prepared in advance, and walked towards the aunties and grandmas who were sitting under the tree and looking at them.
When passing by the children, he did not forget to give each of them two candies.
"What do you want to see Lao Yu for?" The old lady took the fruit candy handed to her by Ruan Ruan, put the candy into her pocket and asked her.
Zeng Yu has been back for so many years, and except for those people from the Cultural Revolution who came occasionally, no one has come to see him, and they drove here. Judging from Ruan Ruan's clothes, they knew she was not from a poor family.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Our elders have received favors from the old gentleman. Now we have a chance to redress his family, so we asked us to come and find him." Ruan Ruan saw that the old lady had been looking at her, and thought of what 520 had told her about the situation in Zengjia Village, she knew that the old lady had misunderstood.
"Oh, you are here to rehabilitate Zeng Yu! That's great. Just walk along this road to the end, and the house at the end of the village is it. Oh, go quickly. I'll go find the village chief first and I'll be there soon!" When they heard Ruan Ruan say that they were here to rehabilitate Zeng Yu, they were extremely happy. They all ran to tell him.
Seeing them like this, Ruan Ruan finally understood why Zeng Yunye wanted to help everyone in the village. This was truly the most united village she had ever seen.
"Let's go, this road to the end." After Ruan Ruan got in the car, they continued driving forward.
"Yunzhe, hurry up and call your father and tell him that someone has come to vindicate the Yunye family. Hurry, ask him to go to the Yunye family." The old lady ran to the team leader Zeng Yuan's house, but didn't find anyone. But when she saw Zeng Yunzhe at home, she really couldn't run anymore, so she told Yunzhe to go find someone.
"Really, Auntie, are you sure?" Zeng Yunzhe had just returned home when he saw the aunt coming over and saying this. He suspected that he had heard it wrongly.
"Of course it's true. You should go quickly. They should have arrived at Yunye's house by now. I don't know if Yunye is at home at this time." The old lady was too lazy to say more to him. She just told him to go quickly and turned to walk towards Yunye's house.
When Ruan Ruan and his friends arrived at Mr. Zeng's house, they saw the old man sitting alone in the yard weaving a backpack.
"Hello, are you Mr. Zeng Yuzeng?" Ruan Ruan walked forward and knocked gently on the door frame before asking.
Zeng Yu turned sideways when she heard the voice and saw Ruan Ruan and Huo Haocheng behind her. Huo Haocheng was wearing a military uniform and let them come in first. "Little girl, come in and sit down."
Afterwards, he went into the house and brought them some water.
"Young lady, officer, why do you want to see me?" The old man put the water on the stool in front of them and asked. It has been a long time since anyone came to see him, let alone a battalion commander.
"Old man, isn't your grandson at home?" Ruan Ruan asked after taking a sip of water. She didn't want to say the same thing twice, so she wanted to wait for Zeng Yunye to come back and tell him together.
"My grandson is in the field. I think he should be back soon." Old Man Zeng didn't know what she meant. Were they coming for his grandson? Did Yun Ye offend someone outside?
"Grandpa" Zeng Yunye had just come down from the mountains when he saw the team leader and Yunzhe coming towards his house. When he heard Yunzhe say that someone had come to their house, he immediately ran over.
"You're back just in time. These comrades are here to look for you." The old man looked at his grandson who had come back, glanced at him, and then said.
"Old sir, Comrade Zeng Yunye, let me introduce myself first. My name is Ruan Ruan, this is my wife, Comrade Huo Haocheng, and these two are my brothers Comrade Zheng Xuyang and Comrade Huo Haoshen. We are here to deliver a document to you on behalf of the Yuncheng Military Region."
Ruan Ruan saw Zeng Yunye also came back, and there were a lot of people following him. They should all come to understand the situation. Then Ruan Ruan explained to them, and then took out the plan she had submitted with the pharmaceutical factory to vindicate the Zeng family and the benefits they deserved.
"Old sir, I have cooperated with the military region to set up a pharmaceutical factory. The documents have just been issued. The address of the factory is the original food factory of your Zeng family. I am very sorry. This is all I can do for you now, but don't worry, I will make it up to you in the future."
Even in the current environment, Ruan Ruan still felt that they were taking advantage of someone else's factory by using it, and she had to do something to feel at ease with it.
"Comrade Ruan Ruan, thank you so much, thank you!" After reading the documents Ruan Ruan gave him, Zeng Yu burst into tears. He didn't expect that he would be able to see their family rehabilitated in his lifetime. He is old, but Yun Ye is still young. How can he keep carrying the reputation of a capitalist?
"This is what you deserve. Since I used your things, it shouldn't be in vain. We should thank you for your selfless dedication and saving my uncle and his family. Because of you, the soldiers of the Yuncheng Military Region were able to survive those difficult days."
"Thank you for your help back then. On behalf of all the soldiers in the Yuncheng Military Region, I would like to express my gratitude to you." Huo Haocheng stepped forward and saluted the old man. This was what Commander Gu asked him to do before they came. They couldn't come in person, but Huo Haocheng was the battalion commander of their military region and the most powerful soldier, so it was okay for him to do it for them.
"It's my duty, it's my duty, young comrade, please put it down, I can't bear it!" Zeng Yu saw Huo Haocheng like this, he felt that it was what he should do, the young master had helped him in the past! He just did what others did for him.
"Old man, you can handle it." Ruan Ruan helped Zeng Yu sit down. As he got older, his mood fluctuated greatly, and it was inevitable that he could not control it. Ruan Ruan was also afraid that they came here for a good thing, but if they did something bad, it would be bad.
"Young comrades, you all sit down, everyone." After Ruan Ruan helped Zeng Yu sit down, he also asked everyone else to sit down.
"That's good, Uncle Yu. After all the hardship, happiness finally comes!" The captain was also happy for them. He still remembered how high-spirited Zeng Yu was in the past, but he had been lifeless since he came back. If Yunye hadn't been there all these years, he might not have survived.
"Yes, Old Yu, now it's all right. You don't have to worry about Yunye's marriage. In two years, you can just wait for Yunye to bring you a pretty granddaughter-in-law."
"That's it, Grandpa Yu. You must keep a close eye on Yun Ye when the time comes!"
"Okay, okay, I feel relieved now, relieved." The old man was very happy to hear what the villagers said. Before today, he was very worried about Yun Ye's identity as a young master of a capitalist. Who would dare to marry their daughter to him? But now it's good. Their family has been rehabilitated and they don't have to worry anymore.
The old man looked at his eldest grandson happily. He was the only child in the family and he had suffered a lot over the years.
