Chapter 248: Introduction to the Village
He Shiwu originally started out as a scout, and even though he is old and frail now, his skills are still ingrained in his bones.
No matter how bad the environment is, it has become a habit to go to a place and closely observe the surroundings.
To be honest, he was unsure before coming to Qingshan Town.
But the situation did not allow him to make a choice. If he did not leave, he was worried that his old bones would not be able to bear it. Being able to extricate himself was already the best outcome. It could not be worse than it is now.
He has experienced many things in his life and seen the vicissitudes of life. Now he is just a tiger in a desperate situation. He believes that one day, the country will give him justice.
With this mentality, I decided to give it a try.
He thought that the so-called difference here meant that it was not that crazy. He did not expect to live in peace, but as long as he had less trouble, he would have a chance to breathe.
He was well prepared for whatever might happen, but he found that the situation was quite different from what he had expected.
Sitting on the tractor, I recalled the subtle attitudes of the people around me towards that female comrade, and how she was neither humble nor arrogant when facing the director of the Revolutionary Committee. Although she showed a lot of disdain for the three of them in her words, the details showed the truth...
Whether it was arranging the car for them or the cushion they were leaning on, the seemingly ordinary yet unusual details made him feel at ease.
Everyone in the car had different thoughts. Along the way, it was very quiet except for the rumbling sound of the tractor.
After driving for a while, I finally arrived when my butt felt numb.
Gu Guangtao stopped the car at the entrance of the village and asked the people in the car to get out with their luggage and walk forward.
Seeing that no one said anything, Qu Lingling secretly despised these people for being cowardly. Although she was afraid, she was used to being domineering and naturally would not be easily scared.
She asked unhappily, "Isn't it still a long way to go? Why don't you let the tractor drive to the village? Are you deliberately making things difficult for us?"
Gu Mingyue pointed at the village stele and deliberately said vaguely, "This is the belief of our village. Anyone who comes here must walk. If you don't obey, go back home. As long as you dare to walk, no one will stop you. Otherwise, don't talk to me. I tell you again, once you come here, it's my territory. You'd better behave yourself. If you can't do that, either let your father pick you up, or you can go and carry manure."
"you dare!"
Gu Mingyue said disdainfully, "You can try to see if I dare."
Noticing that many villagers had gathered around to watch the fun, she said loudly, "Listen, everyone. This comrade Qu Lingling is the daughter of the director of our commune's Revolutionary Committee. Director Qu specifically told her to exercise well, develop a spirit of hard work and stand hard work, and correct her wrong idea of seeking enjoyment. You all need to help supervise her, and we will definitely correct her bad habits. I believe that Director Qu will thank us when the time comes. Go back and notify everyone one by one, be extra strict, and don't let her off easy, remember?"
"remember."
The educated youth were so shocked by the cohesion of the villagers that they became a little frightened. They became more restrained and dared not show any dissatisfaction.
Gu Mingyue calmly instructed Guangtao to arrange for He Shiwu and the other two, while she took the rest of the people to their accommodation.
On the way, Zeng Min looked around curiously and suddenly asked, "Secretary, you are so young, why do they all call you aunt?"
Gu Mingyue said casually, "I am of a higher generation."
"I see. This is the first time I've heard of this kind of thing. It's quite interesting. However, your village is really different from the rural life I imagined..."
Gu Mingyue was not annoyed by Zeng Min's chatterbox. This girl was full of vitality and hope like the rising sun. She quite liked her. It felt that after spending a long time with such a lively person, even her vicissitudes of life soul felt a lot younger.
I didn't hide anything and told her the situation of the village truthfully. She didn't control the volume and let everyone else listen. After giving her a warning, I should emphasize the precautions next...
She only said, "The main business of Gujia Village is farming. The sideline businesses include a handicraft workshop and a bean product workshop, which are important sources of income for the village. Their sales are very hot. The village road maintenance, the purchase and addition of various equipment and other infrastructure maintenance all rely on the efficient production capacity of these two workshops to operate steadily. Our village has been an advanced collective for three consecutive years. Here, as long as you work hard, food and clothing will never be a problem. I believe you have also noticed that there are not many people on the road, because everyone is either busy in the fields or in the workshops. Everyone has their own responsibilities and works together to create the prosperous Gujia Village today. As I said, as long as you abide by the law, this will be your home in the future. I can guarantee that life will not be much worse than your city. But..."
Gu Mingyue glanced at the indignant Qu Lingling and said deliberately, "If anyone dares to make trouble, I will not waste time talking to her. I will immediately send her to the Youth Educator Office and send her back to where she came from. I want to see if some of them can be assigned to a better place than here. Not to mention far away, as far as I know, anyone who returns to the Youth Educator Office will be sent to a farm or a remote mountain valley. So before you do anything, think about the consequences clearly. If you want to regret it later, I'm sorry, I don't have that option. Gujia Village does not cause trouble, but it is not afraid of trouble. I hope you will remember this."
Everyone nodded obediently.
Only Qu Lingling stared blankly without saying a word, while Sun Xiaoyu, who was helping with the luggage beside her, seemed to be thinking about something.
Gu Mingwei had been waiting at the foot of the mountain. When he saw someone coming from afar, he quickly stepped forward to help.
This made He Shiwu and the other two feel a little uneasy. They had experienced too much betrayal during this period of time, and it was difficult for them to adapt to other people's goodwill for a while.
Gu Mingwei sent Gu Guangtao to the health center to find a doctor.
After everyone left, he said without hesitation, "President Zhang has said hello, so you can rest assured that you are here. We just need to keep our distance from outsiders. Let me give you a brief introduction of the situation. This house looks shabby, but the materials are solid, so you can live here for as long as you want. Also, the bedding on the kang is new, and this cotton-padded jacket has many patches, but the cotton inside is also newly trimmed and very thick. The winter here is several times colder than that in Beijing, so you may not be able to adapt when you first arrive. It's just right that you will hibernate in a while, and everyone won't be outside much. Take advantage of this time to rest well, and it won't be too late to work again in the spring. This is the limit of what I can do, so don't mind."
In fact, these were the words that Gu Mingyue had repeatedly told her elder brother to say. She knew that her elder brother would not show off his achievements, but on the one hand, she was unwilling to have any contact with him. On the other hand, if she had to help, of course she would let people know their efforts.
How can you do good things without leaving your name? She keeps a low profile and doesn't make it known to everyone...
