In recent days, the Red Star Commune has been particularly lively.

When the news of the fall of the "Gang of Four" came, everyone didn't believe it at first, but after seeing the headlines written in the newspapers, everyone jumped up with excitement and spontaneously held parades and rallies for days. Even at night, the streets of the commune were brightly lit and the sound of firecrackers was deafening.

Lin Xuan also ran to join in the excitement. The scene was quite spectacular at that time, with people moving and red flags waving. There were also slogans on the streets saying "Warmly celebrate the great victory of smashing the 'Gang of Four''s conspiracy to usurp the party and seize power". Young people sang and danced on the streets to celebrate the victory, just like a carnival.

After the "Gang of Four" was smashed, the cronies of the "Gang of Four" in various places fell one after another. In the Red Star Commune, anyone who had any connection with the "Gang of Four" was declared isolated for investigation.

The members of the Cleansing Committee were liquidated, and many things were uncovered, including that the Majiagou Brigade Leader Lu Jiahui used his power and the relationship with the Cleansing Committee to seek personal gain and persecute educated youth. In addition to him, his son Lu Hongwei and his younger brother Lu Jiabao were also involved. Lu Hongwei's body was lost and could not be investigated. Lu Jiabao was taken away and detained with his brother. What awaits them will be a few years or even decades of imprisonment.

After hearing about this, Aunt Gu went to Majiagou and came back with Lu Yuan, who was bruised and battered, carrying a shabby little package.

"From now on, Xiaoyuan will live in our house."

"Axing, take your brother to get things settled first, and he will live in the same room with you in the future."

Gu Langxing nodded and took the pale and silent Lu Yuan back to the room.

After he left, Gu Langyue asked indignantly, "Mom, who hurt Xiaoyuan's face?"

Auntie Gu was silent for a few seconds, with some sadness and anger in her eyes, "All the people in the Lu family were arrested, and the people in Majiagou who were bullied in the past took it out on Xiaoyuan."

Gu Langyue raised his eyebrows, "They are so hateful! Xiaoyuan didn't participate, but he was bullied by his cousin."

Gu Er Aunt sighed, "Okay, the past is over, let's not talk about it anymore, I'll go find a set of bedding for Xiaoyuan first."

Lin Xuan raised her hand, "Second Aunt, I have extra bedding here. After the fire, I bought a set myself, and my mother also sent me a set. It's just right for Xiaoyuan to use."

She is now using the cotton quilt that Lin's mother sent from Jincheng. It is very thick and weighs eight kilograms. The original six-kilogram one was put aside.

The Gu family didn't have any extra new bedding to find, only old and thin old bedding. It was still very cold at night in late October. She originally planned to take out the ones she used and make do with the blanket and old bedding.

Aunt Gu thought about it and agreed, "Thank you, Xuanxuan, I'll make a new set later and return it to you."

Lin Xuan waved her hand quickly, "No need, I have both thin and thick ones, this one is just taking up space."

She took out the set of military green quilts. This fabric was originally intended to be used to make pants as a reward for the children, but she never had the time. After washing it, she put it in the cupboard. The cotton mattress and quilt were all newly bought, white and soft.
