Chapter 198 The Revolutionary Committee Goes to the Countryside (2)
Several people in the cowshed were working in the fields.
Although the autumn harvest is over, there is still work to be done in the fields.
For example, the crop stalks need to be bundled and transported back to be stacked into firewood piles for burning. More grass also needs to be brought back for the cattle to eat in the winter.
There are also other tasks assigned by the team leader.
After all, they were here for labor reform, and unless the roads were blocked by heavy snow, they had to do some work every day.
It is impossible to be like the villagers. After the autumn harvest, most people don’t have to go to work, and only a few people are working in the fields to finish the work.
After receiving the report from the children, the team leader immediately arranged for people to go to the field to notify the people in the cowshed to go back.
After receiving the news, Liu Weihua and others hurriedly packed up and hurried back.
"Have you packed up all the things at home?" asked Mr. Zou as he hurried to the cowshed.
Wang Xiulan replied, "When I cooked these past two days, I only took out the food for that meal, and the rest was in the secret cellar.
The intact pots, pans, and utensils were put away after use, leaving only the broken ones outside.”
“Don’t worry, old chief.
In order to avoid surprise attacks by those people, we checked the whole house before going to work.
We will only start work after we confirm that there are no problems." Liu Weihua comforted.
Old Man Wu said, "Wei Hua, you think too simply.
What if someone came to our place after we left and left something there on purpose?"
Liu Weihua frowned, "That shouldn't be the case.
We have come here, we can't cause any trouble to others, and who would make things difficult for us?"
“Old Wu is right.
Wei Hua, you still think too simply.
Don't forget how you came here. You were framed by someone on purpose.
People’s minds are unpredictable, so don’t take any chances.” Mr. Zou also agreed with Mr. Wu’s words.
Liu Weihua thought for a moment and said, "I'm fast, so I'll go ahead and go back to check carefully."
"You can't do it alone, I'll help you," Wang Xiulan said from the side.
The couple quickened their pace and hurried back.
Mr. Zou and Mr. Wu at the back were old after all, and their legs and feet were not as agile as theirs, but they also quickened their pace and rushed forward.
As soon as the people from the Revolutionary Committee arrived at the village entrance, they were surrounded by the aunts and grannies who were already there, as well as other villagers who had rushed over after hearing the news.
They surrounded them one by one, asking them the purpose of their visit, and trying every way to delay time so as to prevent them from going to the village.
After receiving the news from the children, the team leader and team cadres rushed to the village entrance as soon as possible.
When they got closer, they saw that the people from the Revolutionary Committee were blocked by the villagers. They were no longer in a hurry and hid in a corner, smoking their pipes and stalling for time.
It was not until the people on the Revolutionary Committee became impatient and started to question loudly that they rushed over there.
He walked up to the people from the Revolutionary Committee and apologized repeatedly, saying that he had just arrived at the scene and had rushed over as soon as he received the news.
But the distance is too far, and even if we rush, we still waste time. Please forgive us, leaders.
The brigade cadres were talking to the people from the Revolutionary Committee in a random manner, but were interrupted impatiently by the leader.
"We have already wasted a lot of time, so let's not delay any further.
The team leader still took us to the place where the people who were sent down lived, and we had to check it carefully.
See if they have realized their mistakes, reflected deeply on them, accepted the supervision and education of the people, and reformed themselves.”
Another person continued, "While we are inspecting, quickly gather all the members of the production team together to study the great man's thoughts and educate those bad elements."
The captain said, "Why don't we wait a little longer.
Those who were sent down to the countryside are working in the fields. I just sent someone to notify them, but I guess they haven’t returned yet.”
"What we want them to do is to launch a surprise attack.
Don't say any more. Do you want to interfere with our work?
If you continue to make excuses here, I don’t mind reporting it and making your village an example.” The Revolutionary Committee member threatened.
This person had heard about the feud between the Red Star Production Brigade and some people in the Revolutionary Committee.
Before coming here, I received some advice from some people to see if I could get any evidence against this production team.
After hearing what he said, the captain frowned, then relaxed.
Judging from the time, those people in the bullpen should have arrived home.
It would take some time for me to lead these people there, which should be enough time for them to deal with some things.
So the captain said, "Since you insist, let's go now."
As he said this, he led the members of the Revolutionary Committee towards the village, and at the same time instructed the villagers beside him,
"Don't follow me anymore. Go and inform the rest of the villagers to gather at the sunbath.
Let the leaders of the Revolutionary Committee convey the great man’s thoughts to us later.”
The people from the Revolutionary Committee reminded them, "Remember to gather everyone together, and don't leave anyone out.
If they don’t come, ask them if they are dissatisfied with the great man and that’s why they don’t want to come.”
The villagers looked at the captain, and after seeing him nod, they dispersed to call for help.
After Liu Jingxue was awakened by Tuanzi, she immediately changed her clothes, left the space, and walked towards the cowshed.
She climbed over the wall into the yard and asked Tuanzi to scan the house to see if there was anything wrong.
"There's nothing good on the surface, just some junk, and not much food." Tuanzi replied.
Liu Jingxue was still a little worried, "Can those people find those secret cellars?"
"Master, don't worry. I found it after scanning it several times when I came here before. Those people couldn't find it at all."
Only then did Liu Jingxue feel relieved.
Tuanzi reminded that her uncle and aunt outside had returned, and Liu Jingxue quickly hid in the space.
If they saw me here, I would be worried that I would be seen by the Revolutionary Committee or the villagers, and they would probably give me another lecture.
In order to keep your ears quiet, it’s better not to let them see you.
After Liu Weihua and Wang Xiulan came back, they checked everywhere and made sure there were no problems and that nothing had been tampered with.
Shortly after they came back, Old Zou, Old Wu, and those people from the Revolutionary Committee arrived at the cowshed one after another.
The few people had no time to communicate with each other. Liu Weihua only had time to say to them, "There is no problem after the inspection," and then he was pushed to a corner by the people from the Revolutionary Committee and told not to block their way.
The people from the Revolutionary Committee were like locusts swarming across the land. They rummaged through the yard and the house, causing wanton destruction, but they did not find anything out of place.
Looking at the group of people who had gained nothing, the leader was a little dissatisfied that these people could be so honest.
He looked at his subordinates, "Are you sure you have searched thoroughly and left no corner untouched?"
"I've checked everything carefully. Except for the extra firewood, everything else is fine."
The leader was somewhat unwilling to give up, so he went in and looked around himself, but still found nothing.
