Chapter 395 Special Era
The next day.
Gu Qingzhou had already left.
Shen Sangning started the live broadcast at six o'clock as usual.
[Good morning, Master Shen! You look good today! ]
[So sleepy...I've been getting up at 108: every day for days. I feel like my biological clock still hasn't adjusted.]
[Really, in the past year, I never left the house before 7am. Recently, I get up at 5:30am, go out for a walk, and breathe some fresh air. I feel like I have changed a lot.]
Shen Sangning smiled and said, "Okay, my dears, let's follow the old rules and give out lucky bags!"
One minute later, the lucky bag was drawn.
The lucky audience member is named [Andos, how are you? 】
The scene changed, and a youthful girl appeared in front of the camera.
Next to the girl, there was an old lady with gray hair and a kind face.
"Grandma! Grandma! We're connected!"
"Look, this is the Master Shen I told you about. She is my idol, I admire her so much!"
"She is really amazing!"
"Okay... okay... okay..." The old man smiled and nodded: "Grandma saw it..."
The girl's name is Li Minghui. She waved enthusiastically at the camera: "Master Shen! I didn't expect to win the lucky bag today!"
Shen Sangning smiled and said, "Hello, grandma."
Li Minghui moved the camera closer, then stood behind her grandmother and said excitedly, "Grandma, believe me, Master Shen is really amazing!"
"You can tell her anything you want to calculate!"
Grandma looked at Shen Sangning in the camera with a smile in her eyes and praised: "This child is so beautiful..."
"I'm already quite old. There's nothing to calculate..."
"Grandma!" Li Minghui said coquettishly, "Do you think Master Shen is too young?"
"Never judge a person by his appearance! Tell me yourself, when have I ever lied to you?"
"You've always wanted to find my grandfather, right? Just give it a try!"
"Can you tell me your previous story and just treat it as a casual chat?"
The old lady turned her head and glanced at her granddaughter, her eyes full of doting: "Okay, grandma will listen to Xiaohui. Xiaohui is the only one who treats grandma well!"
"Unlike your father, who never comes to see me, an old woman, once all year round."
"Oh, grandma..." Li Minghui explained for her father, "My dad is too busy with work. My mom and I only see him a few times a year."
"He's always thinking about you, so he asked me to come and accompany you when he's free!"
"Talk to Master Shen about you and my grandfather."
"Oh...Okay." The old man turned around, looked at Shen Sangning, and said with a smile: "Little girl...it's great that you live in this era."
“People can meet each other through mobile phones…”
Shen Sangning smiled, looked at the old lady gently, and said softly: "Grandma, technology is developing. The hardest life is yours. Please talk slowly, I am listening."
The old man raised his head slightly, as if lost in memories, and said slowly: "Xiao Hui's grandfather and I got married early at that time, and it was all arranged by our parents and matchmakers."
"Life was hard back then, and being able to fill one's stomach every day was the people's greatest hope."
"Xiao Hui's grandfather is a simple and honest man. Everyone in the village knows him."
"In the second year of our marriage, I gave birth to a big fat boy..."
"My husband works day and night so that my mother and I can live a good life." The old man's eyes softened and a happy smile filled his face.
She patted Li Minghui's hand and sighed, "What a pity. Later, we encountered a famine, and life became even more difficult."
"In the face of natural disasters, we ordinary people suffer the most."
"I remember that at that time... there were really corpses everywhere."
"Three years of natural disasters, I don't know how many people died..."
"Those who can survive are lucky!"
"At that time, if there was anything to eat, your father would eat it first. Your grandfather and I ate grass roots and tree bark..."
"It's nothing like now, you can stay at home and have people deliver all kinds of food to your home."
"Grandma...that's takeout." Li Minghui responded, blinking her big eyes.
"Oh, yes, yes... takeout." The old man smiled warmly and continued, "After enduring those three years, life has become a little better."
"I remember it was in 68 when the educated youth responded to the country's call to go to the countryside."
"At that time, five educated young people came to the village."
"People's thinking was different back then. No matter whose family had problems, everyone would help. But there were some exceptions..."
"Your grandfather is honest and kind-hearted."
"At that time, there was a female educated youth from a high-ranking cadre family. But her parents were labeled as capitalist roaders..."
"She was a female educated youth, but she was only sixteen years old at the time..."
"Girls from the South have never worked."
"I was assigned to the north and I was so cold that I cried."
"Add to that different living habits, and the female educated youth fell ill soon after."
"Because of political factors, no one cares about her..."
"In the end, it was your grandfather who carried her to the health center."
"It was because of this incident that your grandfather was arrested. They said he was against GM..."
"After that, I never saw your grandfather again..."
"During those days, I cried all day long, took your father to work in the fields, and asked people to find out the whereabouts of your grandfather."
"I remember that it was more than a year after your grandfather was arrested that I learned from the new Party Secretary that your grandfather was exiled to the Great Northern Wilderness..."
"What is that place called the Great Northern Wilderness?"
"The natural environment is harsh, with long and cold winters, swamps everywhere, and overgrown weeds. Most areas are uncultivated primitive landforms, and the soil conditions are also relatively complex."
"A large number of people went to the village near us before. Within two years, there was no news of them all..."
"When I found out your grandfather went there, the sky fell."
"For more than a year, I was foolishly looking forward to his return..."
"It's been almost sixty years now..."
"Xiao Hui, I know you feel sorry for your grandma, but your grandpa... must have passed away a long time ago."
"I have been waiting for him to come back. In the 1990s, there were reports that more than a million people died in the Great Northern Wilderness..."
"You haven't seen your grandfather before. He's a stubborn ass. When he was beaten up and rebelled against GM, he refused to admit it or give in. He refused to admit his mistakes..."
"Otherwise... we wouldn't be in this situation today."
"If your grandfather is still alive, given his temper, he would crawl back even if he has to..."
