The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 37: Revolutionary Committee

In the early morning, before the sun had risen, the air was still thick with mist.

Fu Weilun woke up early and, hearing some noise outside, got up to find Grandfather Fu practicing his punches. Seeing the old man practicing vigorously, Fu Weilun joined in and started his own routine.

"Father, do you get up so early every day?"

"Sleep well at night, and naturally, you wake up early. After this period of adjustment, I feel like I have endless energy all day long."

"That's great to hear. If you're in good health, we'll all feel more at ease," Fu Weilun said with a smile.

Their military-style boxing moves grew faster...

Soon, Li Xiufen also woke up and began preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

As the dawn broke, the two practiced boxing for an hour, sweating profusely.

When Fu Xiao heard the noise outside and opened her eyes, it was already bright outside. She dressed and went out to freshen up, then fed the chickens in the backyard. She also secretly took some spring water. Seeing that the eggs in the chicken coop were still there, she grabbed a small basket and collected them.

After putting the eggs in the kitchen basket, she noticed it was already quite full, indicating the hens hadn't been idle these past few days.

At this moment, Li Xiufen came over from outside, "Xiaoxiao, how many eggs did you collect?"

Fu Xiao smiled, "Aunt, I got seven."

Aunt Li also smiled, "Haha... our hens are really hardworking. Good girl, put the eggs away and wash your hands. I'll serve breakfast."

Fu Xiao washed her hands in the basin outside the kitchen door and then helped her aunt serve the meal.

Breakfast was simple: a bowl of white porridge, a steamed bun, some homemade pickled radish, pickled garlic, and a few boiled eggs. The adults usually left the eggs for the children.

When the adults weren't looking, Fu Xiao would give the boiled eggs to her younger brother or eat them herself, leaving the yolks for Fu Hong. She didn't need the extra nutrition and preferred the crispy pickled radish.

This breakfast was quite good compared to other families in the village, who might only have steamed buns and rice soup, often just enough to see their own reflections in the bowl with hardly any rice.

Fu's family was among the best off in the mountain village. The brick-and-tile house was the old family home, built by Fu's great-grandfather and renovated once. The family's financial stability was evident, with several members earning salaries: Grandfather Fu received a monthly pension, the eldest son was a team leader, the second son was a regiment leader, and the youngest was the county committee secretary, making sure the family was always well-provided for.

Despite their wealth, the Fu family took education seriously. The children were well-behaved and excelled in school, with Fu Yu being a top student and a diligent worker at home, as well as very filial.

After breakfast, the two elder brothers and Uncle Fu went to work in the fields, while the younger brother carried a basket and went to gather pigweed.

Grandfather Fu insisted on playing chess with Third Uncle Fu, and the chess table was set up in the sun.

Fu Xiao remembered she needed to dry the bedding from the other rooms, so she went to her brothers' room to hang their quilts and then carried Aunt Li's bedding herself.
