Chapter 190 Reporting to the Village
After getting the answer she wanted, Liu Jingxue did not stay in the town any longer. She ran to the supply and marketing cooperative and exchanged all the tickets she had just exchanged, except for the coal tickets, for real items, and then set off back to the production team.
After riding her bicycle all the way back to a place not far from the village entrance, Liu Jingxue put the bicycle into the space and walked into the village.
When passing by the brigade headquarters, she thought for a moment and decided to walk inside.
The captain should be there at this time.
Although the leaders of the Revolutionary Committee were struck by lightning, they still had many people under them, so it was unclear whether they would carry out the order to carry out the movement in the countryside.
It would be better for me to tell the captain and the others so that they can make preparations early.
When she arrived at the brigade headquarters, Liu Jingxue saw many children playing there, and Tiedan was still the leader.
When they saw Liu Jingxue coming, they greeted her sweetly one by one, and the voices calling her "Sister Xiaoxue" rose one after another.
Liu Jingxue took out a handful of candies from her bag and prepared to give one to each person.
The children refused to answer.
"Sister Xiaoxue, candy is precious. Keep it for yourself and don't give it to us every time."
Liu Jingxue touched the head of the child next to her and said, "It's okay, these candies are not expensive.
Sister Xiaoxue has too much candy and can’t finish it all by herself.”
Liu Jingxue did not accept their refusal and forced one pill into each of them.
"Tiedan, is your grandfather in the office?" Liu Jingxue asked Tiedan.
Tiedan replied, "Yes, I just saw Secretary Grandpa go to his office."
"Okay, I'll go talk to your grandfather.
Tiedan, you can play here with your friends."
Liu Jingxue left the group of children and walked towards the captain's office.
As I got closer, I heard the voices of the team leader and Secretary Xu talking in the room.
Liu Jingxue quickly called out to remind them of her arrival so that they would not hear anything they shouldn't hear.
"Captain, Secretary."
The team leader and Secretary Xu were talking in the room when they heard the noise coming from outside.
Secretary Xu spoke first, "It sounds like Xiaoxue's voice."
"It should be her." The captain said, "Xiaoxue, the door is not closed, just come in."
Liu Jingxue walked straight in after hearing that.
"Xiaoxue, is there anything you need to come here for?" the captain asked first.
Liu Jingxue nodded, "Yes, I have something to tell the captain and the secretary."
"I just came back from town and heard about something, so I came here to tell the captain and the secretary.
A few days ago, the town's Red Guards and the Revolutionary Committee were struck by lightning while carrying out a movement. I wonder if you two uncles have heard about this?"
The two nodded.
Secretary Xu said excitedly, "Someone from our production team went to the town these days and told us about this when he came back."
The captain also laughed and said, "After I heard the news, I ate an extra bowl of rice."
"Captain, Secretary, I'm afraid you will be even happier after listening to what I'm going to say next," Liu Jingxue said with a smile.
After hearing this, Secretary Xu hurriedly urged, "Xiaoxue, don't keep us in suspense. If you have any good news, tell us now."
"I just came back from town and got some big news.
Today, the thunder god showed his might and struck the building of the Revolutionary Committee.
It is said that the director of the Revolutionary Committee was convening leaders of all ranks for a meeting on the second floor when he was struck by lightning.
When I came back, they were being taken to the hospital by the Revolutionary Committee.
It was a very severe blow.”
Upon hearing this, the team leader and Secretary Xu stood up immediately.
"Xiaoxue, are you telling the truth?
Was the director of the Revolutionary Committee really struck by lightning?" the captain asked anxiously.
Liu Jingxue nodded and said, "I heard with my own ears those people from the Revolutionary Committee shouting, 'Quickly send the director and others to the hospital.'
The Revolutionary Committee should have at most one director.”
"Great, this heartless man finally got his comeuppance.
It would be the best if we could kill him." Secretary Xu clapped his hands excitedly.
The captain said, "Don't be too happy yet, he still doesn't know whether it is true or not.
The government doesn’t have an office director or a propaganda department director, and we don’t know whether the Revolutionary Committee really has only one director.
There were a few lightning strikes, but no one was killed.”
When Secretary Xu heard this, he felt that what Lao Zhang said was right.
He suggested, “It’s not about sending people to the hospital.
How about we send someone to the hospital to check and see if it's someone who deserves to be cut into pieces."
The captain nodded, "Okay, let Ge Dazhuang go.
This kid is smart and knows people in town, so he will definitely be able to find out a lot of information."
When Secretary Xu heard this, he shouted outside, "Tiedan, Tiedan, come here quickly."
Tiedan was having a great time playing with the children and didn't hear the call at all.
The child who lost the game again and was waiting for the next round heard it and reminded him,
"Tiedan, the secretary wants you to come over."
Tiedan stopped and listened carefully, but Secretary Xu didn't call out anymore.
"Are you lying to me? I didn't hear you."
Another child said, "We just heard it, Secretary Grandpa is calling you.
You should go there quickly."
Tiedan glanced at him reluctantly and said, "Wait for me then. I'll be back soon."
Rushing into the captain's office, Tiedan asked, "Grandpa Xu, you're looking for me."
The captain said, "Tiedan, go call your uncle Dazhuang over. I have something for him to do."
"Okay, Grandpa, I'll be there right away."
Tiedan ran away, and when he passed by the group of children, he shouted, "You guys go play first, you don't have to wait for me.
I'm going to help grandpa call Uncle Dazhuang over."
Thinking of the Revolutionary Committee's plan to send people to the countryside, Liu Jingxue quickly said,
"Captain, Secretary, before the incident of the leader of the Revolutionary Committee being struck by lightning, I heard about another incident.
Hadn't there been several incidents of the Red Guards and the Revolutionary Committee being struck by lightning in the town? Those people were so frightened that they didn't dare to organize any more movements in the town, so they planned to go to the countryside to carry out the movement.
Although the leaders of the Revolutionary Committee were struck by lightning, it is not known whether the people under them will continue with the previous strategy and develop towards the countryside.
You decide what to do about this matter."
The captain said, "Even if this hadn't happened, according to usual practice, they would have sent people down after the autumn harvest.
Now that we have that strategy, it will just take a few more times.”
“Even so, the situation this time is special, and I’m afraid they’ll suffer a loss in town and vent their anger on the countryside.
Therefore, I think we may need to be more cautious than in previous years." Liu Jingxue reminded.
Secretary Xu nodded, "Xiaoxue's reminder is correct, I also think we should be more cautious.
If you ask me, if God really has eyes, if those people go to the countryside to cause trouble, he should strike them a few times.
That’s how they’ll stop completely.”
The captain shook his head and said, "It's impossible to completely stop it. At most, we should be more restrained than before."
“Well, after Da Zhuang comes back with the news, we’ll discuss it and come up with a set of rules.
We will hold a meeting at that time and inform the villagers so that everyone can be prepared for those people to come at any time." The Taoist Priest said after thinking for a while.
Secretary Xu nodded, "That's fine."
