Dongquan Farm Management Office!
When Zhou Yang was having dinner at the Li family's old house, Zhou's father and mother had just finished work, and a group of people were queuing up at the entrance of the management office to hand over tasks and production tools.
Because the environment here at Dongquan Farm is so harsh, although the name of the farm contains the word "spring", there is actually no spring water, and even the draft of the entire farm is a problem.
In addition, the land here is barren, lacks rain, and the annual output is very low, so the living conditions are very difficult.
In order not to freeze and starve to death in the winter, people on the farm can only work harder and plant a few acres of land in the spring, hoping to harvest more food in the fall.
Because there are so many crops, people here have to leave work at seven or eight o'clock every day.
And this is already early. If the farming season is busy, it is possible to finish work at 11 or 12 pm.
In the crowd, Zhou Yawen kept breathing heavily, feeling like he had survived another day.
He was originally a professor and department head at a university in Beijing. He was a nationally renowned expert and scholar. He had never done farm work before being sent here.
Although he has stayed here for more than six years, he is still not used to this kind of life and feels like he is suffering every day.
Looking at the skinny figures around him, Zhou Yawen couldn't help but sigh, when will this kind of life come to an end?
At this moment, Zhang Hanwu, the farm director on the stage, suddenly shouted: "Zhou Yawen... Where is Zhou Yawen, get out of the queue!"
When Zhou Yawen heard the sound, he immediately walked to the front with a hoe and said at the same time: "Director, are you looking for me?"
"Well, there is your letter!"
With that said, he handed over an opened letter.
When he heard that there was a letter from him, Zhou Yawen was stunned at first.
It was a sudden decision from above that he and his wife were sent here. Before that, even they didn't know where they would be sent.
After arriving here, their personal freedom was also restricted. They were not allowed to go out or contact their families.
Although in name it is reform through labor, in reality it is no different from going to jail.
In fact, the entire Dongquan Farm is a special prison, and they are a special group of prisoners, but they just lack an official name.
Therefore, Zhou Yawen and his wife have never contacted the outside world over the years, no one has written to them, and it is impossible for anyone to know their location.
So who wrote this letter to them?
With doubts, Zhou Yawen took the letter!
However, he did not open it immediately, but returned to the crowd with the letter.
He had learned nothing else over the years, but he had learned to be cautious.
Although he also knew that there could be no sensitive content in these letters that had been reviewed above.
But you still have to be careful, lest you get into trouble again if someone sees you.
After returning to the crowd, his wife Ye Lifang hurriedly asked: "Old Zhou, who wrote the letter to us?"
"have no idea!"
"Then take a look, haven't they already been opened?" Ye Lifang said a little anxiously.
"Go back and watch!"
Ye Lifang obviously knew her husband's concerns and nodded immediately.
Suddenly, Ye Lifang whispered: "Old Zhou, do you think the old leader wrote it to us? After all, most people don't know our address!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yawen's eyes suddenly lit up, he nodded and said: "Don't talk about it now, let's talk about it when we get back!"
After saying that, he took his wife's hand and walked quickly towards his shack.
After entering the house, Zhou Yawen looked out through the simple fence door. After finding no one eavesdropping, he carefully took out the letter from the envelope.
To his surprise, in addition to a few thin pages of letter paper, there were several photos inside.
Before he could read the content of the letter, Zhou Yawen looked at the photos first!
What the couple didn't expect was that the first photo turned out to be a little girl about three or four years old!
The little girl in the photo is very cute, with a pair of big watery eyes on her chubby face, like two sparkling black gems.
At this time, her braided head was leaning on her right shoulder. Her big, watery eyes seemed to be blinking playfully at the camera, and her nose was slightly upturned, showing a mischievous look.
"What a lovely girl, what a beauty!" Ye Lifang couldn't help but admire.
"It's quite cute!" Zhou Yawen also praised sincerely.
"Lao Zhou, whose family do you think this child belongs to? Why did you send us a photo!"
Zhou Yawen did not answer his wife's words, but continued to look at the photos below. After all, he could not answer this question.
The second photo is of a pretty girl!
This girl looks to be about 20 years old. She has delicate eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, a melon face, a high nose bridge, and a head of straight black hair simply tied behind her back. The first impression she gives is that of gentleness and delicateness.
"Who is this girl? Why haven't I seen her before?"
Zhou Yawen had some vague guesses, but he was still not sure!
When the couple saw the third photo, they suddenly lost their voices and said, "Xiao Yang?"
The third photo was clearly a family photo. The youngest son Zhou Yang was standing on the left, holding the little porcelain doll-like girl in his arms, while the one on the right was the delicate girl.
The three people in the photo are all smiling happily, and it can be seen that they are a very happy family.
"Lao Zhou, this girl is probably Xiao Yang's wife, and that little girl should be our precious granddaughter!" Ye Lifang guessed.
"Hmm! I didn't notice it just now, but that little girl looks a lot like Xiao Yang when she was a child!"
While talking, Zhou Yawen looked at the remaining two photos one by one.
Then, he handed the photo to his wife, and he unfolded the letter and read it.
The content of the letter had obviously been reviewed, so the letterhead not only had the signature of the leader of the farm management office, but also the seal of the relevant department.
Zhou Yawen counted it in detail, and found that there were six departments with stamps alone, involving multiple departments at the three levels of management: county, commune, and farm management office.
From this alone, you can see how strict the management here is!
It is really not easy to deliver such a letter to them!
When Zhou Yawen saw his son's first familiar title, his eyes instantly became moist!
He really couldn't imagine that he would receive a letter from his son here one day. It was really an unexpected surprise!
With excitement, Zhou Yawen carefully read this letter from his youngest son!
