Chapter 208 Zhang Lao's Telegram
At nine o'clock the next morning, Liu Jingxue arrived at the brigade headquarters and found that the brigade leader was already waiting for her there with his bicycle.
Seeing Liu Jingxue coming over, the captain said, "Xiaoxue is here, I'll take you, let's go now."
"Captain, I'm strong, so let me carry you," Liu Jingxue said quickly.
The captain refused, "Okay, you look so weak, if you ride and I sit, how will it look to others?
You still think I'm exploiting you, but I can't afford to lose face like that.
Even though you weigh several dozen kilograms, I, your captain, can still carry you."
Secretary Xu on the side laughed and said, "Xiaoxue is really too deceptive.
Who would have thought that there is such huge power hidden under this small body.
Xiaoxue, you should eat more and gain some weight.
You are still too thin."
Liu Jingxue was helpless. Ever since she started practicing, the energy entering her body had been refined. She ate a lot, but just couldn't gain weight.
Because of her physique, the people in the cowshed had no idea how many times they had talked about her, thinking that she just couldn't bear to eat the food and sent it to them.
Sitting on the back seat of the team leader's bicycle, the two chatted all the way to the commune.
Liu Jingxue asked the team leader about the follow-up of the lightning strike incident and asked whether the Revolutionary Committee had caused trouble for the production team.
"They are still bothering us. They are already busy with their own affairs."
"Do they still send people to the countryside to carry out criticism and struggle?" Liu Jingxue asked.
The captain couldn't hide his excitement and said, "They wanted to send someone down, but there was no one to send.
The residents of the town were frightened, and the young Red Guards were detained one by one and were not allowed to go out and cause trouble.
Three groups of people from the Revolutionary Committee were struck by lightning. They were either lying in the hospital or at home.
There are not many intact people left.
In addition, the leaders of the Revolutionary Committee basically had to stay in bed for several months, and there was no one to preside over the work.
So the town’s Revolutionary Committee has come to a standstill.”
"Captain, do you think the higher-ups of the Revolutionary Committee will send someone down to give us guidance?"
“Maybe, but it doesn’t matter even if we send someone down.
It is now November and it is about to snow. As soon as it starts snowing here, no one will go out except those who have to go to work or school, and no one will be so desperate as to run to the countryside.
Our production team is safe now."
Speaking of snow, the team leader remembered something and said to Liu Jingxue, "Xiaoxue, the team will organize a winter hunt in a few days to store some meat for the villagers to survive the winter.
It is also to clear the prey in the mountains and forests around the village to prevent them from not being able to find food in the winter and getting injured when going down the mountain to look for food.
Another one will be organized before the Spring Festival.
You are good at fighting, and Captain Bo wants to invite you to join the hunting team and watch those people."
When Liu Jingxue heard this, she quickly agreed, "Okay, Captain, I'll join.
In the next two days, I will prepare some more hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent anyone from getting hurt."
"Thank you very much, Xiaoxue.
Also, Xiaoxue, when the hunting team goes into the mountains, they usually stay there for a few days, so you should prepare more dry food and keep warm.
I'll let your aunt talk to you about what to prepare."
"Okay, Captain."
As they were talking, they arrived at the commune government.
Secretary Yan was in a meeting at the time, so the staff took them to the reception room and let them rest.
By the time Secretary Yan finished the meeting and brought them to his office, it was almost ten o'clock.
Seeing the clock hanging on the wall, Secretary Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately there is no delay.
Liu Zhiqing, please wait a moment. Commander Zhang should call you soon."
At exactly ten o'clock, the phone rang and Secretary Yan answered it.
The voice of Commander Zhang, whom I had heard yesterday, came from the microphone, "Is this Secretary Yan? Has Liu Jingxue arrived?"
"Commander, he's already here, right next to me.
Please wait a moment, I will let her answer the phone." Secretary Yan said, motioning Liu Jingxue to come forward.
Liu Jingxue hurried forward to take the phone, exhaled, and put it to her ear.
Following Grandpa Zou's instructions, she called out, "Is this Grandpa Zhang? I'm Liu Jingxue."
Secretary Yan took the team leader out of the office and closed the door considerately.
When Mr. Zhang heard Liu Jingxue calling him Grandpa Zhang, he was immediately delighted and said with a smile, "Good, Xiaoxue."
Hearing the laughter from the other end, Liu Jingxue felt a little embarrassed to speak, but after thinking about it, she decided to confirm it after all.
When the laughter died down, she cleared her throat and said shyly, "Grandpa Zhang, to be on the safe side, I'd better confirm your identity."
Mr. Zhang said with a smile, "Then how are you going to confirm my identity?"
"Grandpa told me something that is said to be known only to you two. He asked me to ask you a question and see if you can answer it."
Liu Jingxue cleared her throat and asked the question.
"That damn old man, how could you, a junior, even tell such a thing? Do I still have any face left?" Old Zhang said angrily, puffing his beard and glaring.
Liu Jingxue quickly distanced herself from the matter, "Grandpa Zhang, it was Grandpa who asked me to ask.
If you want to blame someone, blame him, but don't be angry with me.
But even if you are angry, the question still needs to be answered.”
"I have something very important to tell you, but I can't tell you if I'm not sure of your identity," Liu Jingxue tempted.
Mr. Zhang was trying his best to find his luck. "That damn old man, why did you use this incident to prove my identity? Can't you use another incident?
He was clearly teasing me on purpose."
"Xiaoxue, let me tell you, that old man is very bad, don't be fooled by him easily."
Liu Jingxue nodded perfunctorily, but then she remembered that Grandpa Zhang couldn't see her nodding at all.
So she said, "You are right, Grandpa is very bad.
But Grandpa Zhang, what is your answer?
The phone bill is not cheap, so we should save some money."
Old Zhang still didn't say anything. After all, this matter was too embarrassing. He couldn't bring himself to talk about it in front of a junior.
As if she understood what Mr. Zhang meant, Liu Jingxue comforted him, "Grandpa Zhang, you should think like this.
Anyway, you are not the only one involved in this matter. Isn’t grandpa with you?
He is so embarrassed, so why should you be embarrassed?
Besides, I can only hear your voice but I can't see you.
Even if I want to make fun of someone, I will definitely make fun of grandpa, not you.
Don’t you think so?
Mr. Zhang thought about it and felt that Liu Jingxue was right. She couldn't see him anyway.
That old guy has the nerve to do this, what does he have to be embarrassed about?
After figuring it out, he quickly gave the answer.
After confirming that there was no problem with the answer, Liu Jingxue breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now you can confirm my identity," Mr. Zhang said coldly.
Liu Jingxue quickly passed the blame on to me, "Grandpa Zhang, you can't blame me for this. You should blame me instead."
"You two are in the same group."
Liu Jingxue quickly flattered him, "Grandpa Zhang, we are from the same country now."
"You little rascal, are just like your father, cunning and sly." said Mr. Zhang with a smile.
Liu Jingxue defended herself, "No, my grandparents all said that I was too honest and would easily suffer losses."
“They will flatter themselves.
Xiaoxue, tell that old man that they are fine and someone is taking care of them, so he should not worry. "
Liu Jingxue said seriously, "Okay, Grandpa Zhang."
"Grandpa Zhang sent you something, remember to receive it.
Take care of yourself over there.
Grandpa Zhang will leave his phone number with you later. If there is anything you can’t solve, just call Grandpa Zhang and I will solve it for you.
I will also tell your Secretary Yan and ask him to take care of it."
"Grandpa Zhang, don't worry about me. I'm very capable."
