Chapter 73

The pigsty was dark. The fat pigs hummed from time to time. There was a little candlelight in the room next to the pigsty.

Wang Yan Sheng strode towards the room.

Huo Hua Qing was sitting in the main room. From time to time, he looked outside. His wrinkled face was full of strain and exhaustion under the weak candlelight.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside. He clenched his fists and stood up at the sight of a tall man appearing at the door.

He looked at the other party and uttered, "The country is broken, mountains and rivers still exist."

Wang Yan Sheng replied, "The river flows into the ocean."

Huo Hua Qing was relieved when he heard him match his code. He turned around and blew out the oil lamp: "Come in and sit."

Wang Yan Sheng walked in, bowed deeply to him, and said, "Hello, Mr. Huo. My name is Wang Yan Sheng. I am a subordinate of Commander Jiang. Now I am the regiment leader!"

When Huo Hua Qing heard the name Commander Jiang, a concerned look appeared on his face: "Is Guo Hai okay?"

Wang Yan Sheng walked to the opposite seat and sat down. He nodded: "Commander Jiang is doing fine. He just misses you very much. This time he asked me to come and visit you!"

Huo Hua Qing sighed in his heart: "It's good that he's doing well. Tell him don't miss me. Now that with my status, it will only drag him down if he contacts me again!"

Wang Yan Sheng said, "Don't talk like that. Commander Jiang hasn't given up fighting for you all these years, but the current situation is still unstable. Although he is a commander, there are still many things that he cannot do."

Huo Hua Qing repeatedly nodded: "I understand. Don't worry. Tell him never expose his traces!"

Huo Family had been wealthy for generations. In the Republic of China, he was even more prosperous because of the establishment of factories. He was a well-known big capitalist at that time.

It was just that Huo Family had never done anything sorry to the country or its people. They had even spent their money to support the army during the war.

His only son was also killed while transporting military supplies. Even his corpse couldn't be found!

Even so, their Huo Family was accused and got labelled as wicked people. They were sent to the farm to reform through labor!

It was enough for him to suffer. But his family was also incriminated to suffer with him. How can he not be resentful?

Of course, compared with other capitalists who have lost their lives, it was already a great fortune for them three to be still alive!

The people he sponsored back then had been secretly helping them over the years.

The fact that they were able to come to the Qili production team from the farm wasn't due to their luck. In fact, most of the wicked people on the farm weren't bad people. If it wasn’t for someone operating in the dark, it would definitely not be their family’s turn to come out that time.

They had been in the Qili production team for a few months. Although they lived next to the pigsty, have to raise pigs, and clean up dung every day, but these were really nothing compared to the farm!

In addition, most of the people in the Qili production team were relatively kind, especially Qiao Family, who often help them. This life was completely unimaginable for them before!

Wang Yan Sheng spoke: "Don't worry, Mr. Huo. I will definitely bring the message back to Commander Jiang! By the way, Mr. Huo is an expert in planting Chinese herbal medicines. I wonder if letting you plant would be a problem with you now?"

Huo Hua Qing was stunned for a moment. Then he nodded and answered, "Although so many years have passed, I have never forgotten the knowledge of planting. But why are you asking this?"

If it weren't for the conditions, he would like to record all the knowledge about planting for future generations.

Wang Yan Sheng explained, "During this return, I plan to ask my eldest brother, the production leader of this village, to persuade the villagers to change their private plots to growing Chinese herbal medicine. Then I will recommend your family and get you to give guidance to the villagers."

Although there was no way to get rid of their wicked people identity for a while, their status in the production team will be greatly improved this way. Once the planting is successful, they will be more respected by the villagers.

Huo Hua Qing's turbulent eyes lit up. He excitedly reacted: "Is this possible? Will your eldest brother agree? Will the villagers be willing?"

Wang Yan Sheng frowned, "I'm certain I can convince my eldest brother. But the villagers, it can only rely on fate. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Even it's it justy one or two families are willing to plant Chinese herbal medicine at the beginning. But once they smell the advantage, they won't need us to persuade them next year. They will sign up voluntarily!"

Of course, changing all the private plots to planting Chinese herbal medicines wasn't his real purpose. After all, each family had only 50 square meters of private plots. Even if the entire production team's private plots were planted, it won't have much effect.

What he wanted was to change more than half of the land of the entire production team to grow Chinese herbal medicine. As long as growing Chinese herbal medicine is more profitable than growing food, he wasn't afraid that the community won't agree.

Huo Hua Qing was a big capitalist back then. Of course he understood the value of Chinese herbal medicine. If they can be successfully planted, their family will be able to make it through!

In the future, even if he and his daughter-in-law pass away, Chi'er will still be able to survive in the production team!
