Chapter 593 A Call from a Distant Place
For the next two days, Liu Jingxue would put a protective shield on her second brother every night to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
That afternoon, she worked in the fields as usual. While going back and forth between the drying dam and the edge of the field, she used her spiritual sense to investigate the situation of the production team.
Now she has discovered a new function of her spiritual consciousness, which is just right for listening to gossip.
Perhaps it was because the autumn harvest was too tiring, or perhaps it was almost over, the villagers saw hope and changed their previous style of working hard. They kept talking and gossiping loudly while working.
Why did they chat loudly? Because everyone was given a piece of land in the morning and was responsible for an area. They didn't get together, so if they wanted to chat about big things, they couldn't chat too quietly.
This was a good thing for Liu Jingxue. Since she was working in the fields, she was not worried about seeing something she shouldn't see. She used her spiritual sense to explore the fields and quietly eavesdropped on the gossip of the aunts and sisters-in-law.
Life is really too boring. In the past two years, she has watched almost all the movies, TV shows and variety shows she downloaded.
And she didn't even know how many times she had read those downloaded novels, the good ones.
Life would be too boring if I didn't find some new entertainment.
That feeling of panic did not appear in the past few days. Except for putting a protective shield on her second brother as usual every night, she put this matter out of her mind at other times.
However, what she didn't know was that she would soon no longer be able to relax.
In Qianjin Commune, in Secretary Yan's office, Secretary Yan was buried in his desk, carefully looking at the documents in front of him, when the phone on the desk suddenly rang.
Secretary Yan raised his head and looked at the phone beside him. After it rang a few times, he reached out and picked up the receiver.
"Hello, this is the government office of Qianjin Commune in Linshan Town. I'm Yan Xuewen."
A woman's somewhat nervous voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello, comrade, I'm Xie Yumei."
Xie Yumei on the other end of the phone was already feeling uneasy because of the sudden bad news, and she became even more uneasy when she heard that the person on the other end of the line was a government office.
Why is the phone number Xiaoxue left for a government office? Can we find her through this number?
But what should she do if she can't find her? Jianguo is out on a mission again. How should she handle such a big thing?
When Secretary Yan heard the person on the other side claiming to be Xie Yumei, he frowned. He didn't know who Xie Yumei was.
"Hello Comrade Xie, who are you looking for?
Did I call the wrong number?
"Hello, Comrade Yan, this phone number was left by my sister-in-law, who said that she can be reached through this number.
Do you know Liu Jingxue?
She went to the countryside to work in the Red Star Production Team of your Qianjin Commune."
Secretary Yan then understood who the person opposite him was.
"So she's the sister-in-law of educated youth Liu Jingxue. I know educated youth Liu. We've dealt with each other several times.
Comrade Xie is looking for Liu Zhiqing, who is now busy with the autumn harvest.
If you have anything to say, just tell me and I will go to the Red Star Production Team to inform her."
Secretary Yan knew that Liu Zhiqing's relatives were all in the army, so he thought the call must have come from the army.
If he were an ordinary person, as the secretary of the commune, he would also be somewhat arrogant and would not be so easy to become an errand boy. But Liu Zhiqing was different.
You have to know that he went to inform Liu Zhiqing several times, but they were all calls from Chief Zhang.
Hearing the person on the other end say this, Xie Yumei breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her sister-in-law did not lie and she could really be contacted through this phone call.
"Hello, Comrade Yan, I really have something to trouble you with.
I am Xiaoxue's elder sister-in-law, and also a military wife. My husband led the team to perform a mission some time ago, and his return date is uncertain.
But just now, Xiaoxue’s second brother’s unit called and said that my brother-in-law, Xiaoxue’s second brother, was seriously injured while on a mission and has been in a coma. A family member has to go over to take care of him.
But I have a child who is less than four years old here, and I am a school teacher, so I can’t leave for the time being.
There is no one to take care of my child. If I take him over there, I’m afraid he won’t be able to take care of my brother-in-law.
Could you please tell Xiaoxue and ask her to call me so we can discuss what to do. "
When Secretary Yan heard that a soldier was seriously injured and had been unconscious, and that this man was Liu Jingxue's educated youth's second brother, he suddenly stood up from his seat.
When he stood up, the chair moved backwards suddenly and fell to the ground.
Hearing the noise coming from the other side, Xie Yumei couldn't help but ask, "Comrade Yan, did you hear what I just said?"
"Comrade Xie, I'm sorry, I accidentally knocked over the chair just now.
I heard what you said, I will go and tell Liu Zhiqing right away."
Secretary Yan estimated the round-trip time from the commune to the Red Star Production Team, and thought that Liu Zhiqing must be in the fields at this time, so it would take some time to find her.
After getting a rough idea, Secretary Yan said,
"Comrade Xie, I will go and inform Liu Zhiqing now and bring her here.
I'll ask her to call you in about two hours."
"She should know your phone number, right?" Secretary Yan asked worriedly.
"Xiaoxue knows."
"Okay, then you can call Liu Zhiqing in two hours."
Xie Yumei quickly thanked him, "Thank you very much, Comrade Yan. It's really troublesome for you."
"No trouble, no trouble at all."
After hanging up the phone, Secretary Yan walked out of the office, said something to the people in other offices, pushed out his 28-inch bicycle and rushed to the Red Star Production Team.
Worried that he would be late for the trip, Secretary Yan pedaled his bicycle hard and rode as fast as lightning.
Now is the autumn harvest season. The villagers and educated youth are busy working in the fields. Those who cannot work in the fields are also helping to dry the grain and shell the grains on the dam.
Even the naughty children who had nothing to do on weekdays and played around in the production team were picking rice ears and bean pods in the fields.
Secretary Yan came to the Red Star Production Team and walked all the way from the village entrance into the village without meeting anyone.
He had anticipated this, as this was usually the case during the autumn harvest for most production teams.
He had been to the Red Star Production Team many times before, so he walked towards the drying dam with familiarity. As expected, he saw many people when he arrived.
The people who were busy working on the drying dam saw a stranger riding a bicycle and looked over.
Yu Li was sharp-eyed and recognized who the person was at a glance.
After all, when she married the third son of the Zhang family, Secretary Yan came to the wedding banquet.
Secretary Yan had a good relationship with the captain, and Zhang Laosan was a soldier in the army. So after being invited by the captain, Secretary Yan naturally attended the wedding banquet.
"Is it Secretary Yan from the commune?"
When his identity was revealed, Secretary Yan immediately looked up at the person who spoke. He had a vague impression of him, but could not remember who it was.
"My last name is Yan."
Seeing Secretary Yan's confusion, Yu Li immediately revealed her identity, "Hello, Secretary Yan, I am the third daughter-in-law of the leader of the Red Star Production Brigade."
"So you are the wife of the Party-building Party, hello.
"Jian Dang's wife, where is your father-in-law, and where is the educated youth Liu Jingxue working?"
Yu Li quickly pointed Secretary Yan in the direction.
"Secretary Yan, if you go down along that road, you will see where we are going to work today. My father-in-law is there.
As for Xiaoxue, she had just gone to the fields with her empty shoulder pole. In a while, she would have to carry some grain to dry in the dam again.
We are all working together today, you can find both of them if you go there."
"Okay, Jian Dang's wife, thank you.
I'll go find them right away."
Secretary Yan said something and went in the direction Yu Li pointed.
