Chapter 294: Inform the Captain and Secretary
After the team leader and Secretary Xu finished discussing the matter with Secretary Yan of the commune and the leaders of the Youth League Office, they headed back.
After returning to the production team, they did not go home, but walked straight to the end of the village.
When they arrived not far from Liu Jingxue's house, they happened to meet Sun Changgui and Song Lingfeng who were walking up the mountain with their backs to them.
When the two of them came over, they deliberately changed their clothes and were no longer wearing the military uniforms they wore when they had a meeting with the captain and the others.
But even after changing their clothes, the aura of the two of them made it obvious that they were not ordinary people.
The captain pulled Secretary Xu beside him and pointed at the background of the two people. "Don't you think the backs of the two people in front of you look familiar? Their height and momentum are not like the two soldiers you just had a meeting with us."
Secretary Xu looked at them carefully for a while and said, "The way they walk, they look like soldiers.
As to whether they were those two, I couldn't be sure just by looking at their backs.
But what are the soldiers doing here?
It looked like it was walking up the mountain, so it was probably coming down from the mountain."
“You forgot what we talked about in today’s meeting.
If our speculation is correct, and it was really Xiaoxue who reported it, now that the matter has been investigated clearly, Xiaoxue will definitely be rewarded.
Then these two people should be giving her a reward.
He came down from the mountain and then left again. He probably didn't want too many people to know and expose Xiaoxue." The captain guessed.
Secretary Xu thought about it and said, "What you said is very likely.
We will know if it is true or not after we ask.”
The two continued walking towards Liu Jingxue's home.
At this time, after Liu Jingxue sent Sun Changgui and Song Lingfeng away, she was looking at the rewards and money for medicine they brought.
The reward was in an envelope. Liu Jingxue took it out and took a look. It was a stack of Big Unity tickets. She counted them and found there were 80 in total, which means 800 yuan.
"There are so many rewards. It seems that we have gained a lot this time. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many rewards."
I looked at the money for medicine in another envelope. There were both small and large amounts, totaling more than 60 yuan.
Liu Jingxue sighed, "I guess he got quite a few people to help him.
They left some money in the bullpen before, and now they sent so much more. I guess they all went back penniless."
Soldiers, whether in modern times or in today's era, never disappoint people when it comes to their treatment of the people.
"Keep it, and send them more medicine later."
Liu Jingxue's spiritual sense had already scanned the captain and Secretary Xu.
She also heard the conversation between the two clearly.
Knowing that the two men were most likely here to look for her, she did not close the gate.
After counting the money, put them all into the space and put them together with the previous bills.
Liu Jingxue quickly washed and scalded the enamel cup that she had used to pour water for Sun Changgui and Song Lingfeng, and then poured tea for the team leader and Secretary Xu.
The team leader and Secretary Xu came to Liu Jingxue's door. Seeing that the door was not closed, they did not come in directly, but stood outside the yard and shouted,
"Xiaoxue, are you home?"
After hearing the voice, Liu Jingxue came out of the house and saw the captain, Secretary Xu, standing outside the yard. She quickly greeted him,
"Captain, Secretary, why are you here?
Come in quickly."
After welcoming the two of them in and seating them, and serving them tea, Liu Jingxue pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What brings you two here today?"
"Xiaoxue, the two of us went to the commune for a meeting today.
When we arrived, we found that there were only two of us, Secretary Yan, and a leader from the town's Youth League Office attending the meeting from the entire commune.
At the meeting, a comrade from the army informed us that Li Jie pretended to be an educated youth but was actually a Japanese spy. ", the captain explained.
Secretary Xu interrupted and said, "Xiaoxue, the comrades in the army said that someone in our production team discovered Li Jie's abnormality and reported it to them.
This person should be you, right?"
“Also, we just saw two people coming out of your house and heading up the mountain.
Those two people look very much like the two military comrades who held the meeting with us.”
Liu Jingxue had no intention of hiding it from them, so she nodded and admitted when they asked, "Yes, I was the one who reported Li Jie's abnormality to the army.
As for the two just now, they were indeed soldiers.
As for whether they are the two who gave you a meeting today, I am not sure."
The captain was very curious and asked,
"Xiaoxue, you live at the end of the village, and Li Jie lives in the educated youth camp. I don't see you and Li Jie interacting with each other on weekdays. How did you discover his abnormality?"
Liu Jingxue explained, "Hey, Xia Lan and Zhang Yingchun came to visit me. It was strange that they mentioned Li Jie. When he was not working, he left home early and came back late every day, just like a worker in the city.
Moreover, the workers in the city can rest on weekends, but he has no rest.
Except when it rains, he will stay at the educated youth point and I will never see him on other days.
When I heard this, I thought Li Jie's behavior was too abnormal, so I began to wonder what he was doing every day, leaving home early and coming back late.
I didn't expect that when I followed him, I found that when he was alone, he was talking in an incomprehensible Japanese language."
"Think about it, which Chinese person would speak Japanese language when no one is around? It's obvious that the Japanese are pretending to be Chinese.
This is a serious matter. He disguised himself as an educated youth and came here with us. He must have a purpose.
Those Japanese spies are extremely cunning and have accomplices. I can't handle them, so I can only report them."
"Captain, do you remember the time you and I went to the commune to answer the phone?
I reported it on that day, and then you came back first, and I stayed in the commune, waiting for the army to send people over."
The captain slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, that's true."
"This is a serious matter, and my comrades in the army told me not to spread it, so I haven't told you yet. I hope you don't mind," Liu Jingxue said apologetically.
Secretary Xu waved his hand, "We don't mean to blame you.
This kind of thing really can't be spread outside, you were right not to tell us."
"Li Jie has been with us for more than two years, and we have never discovered his identity as a spy.
Fortunately, you discovered the abnormality and reported it. If he really achieved his goal, we would be blamed." The captain said fearfully.
Secretary Xu asked curiously, "Xiaoxue, do you know why Li Jie came to us?"
"I don't know, and it's not easy to ask my comrades in the army." Liu Jingxue shook her head, but she still revealed a little.
“But I followed Li Jie and found that he had been looking for something in the mountains.
You two should know better than me what is in the mountain behind us.
But let’s leave it at that and don’t spread it outside.”
The captain and Secretary Xu nodded thoughtfully.
"Xiaoxue, I discussed this with your secretary and found that we were too relaxed with the educated youth before, which allowed Li Jie to have time to do those things.
We plan to let the educated youth spend more time working in the fields in the future. Do you have any ideas?" the team leader asked.
“No problem on my end.
Except for the autumn harvest, I prepare for half a day and rest for half a day.
After all, I still have to go into the mountains to collect herbs and make medicine, so I can't work all day.
If something happens, I might not go to work all day.”
"That's no problem. With your ability, you can get full work points in the first half of the day. It would be a waste of time if you work afterwards. You might as well do your own thing.
As for taking a break occasionally, that's no problem at all, we don't have things to do every day."
“We only said to increase the working hours of the educated youth, but we did not say that they should work every day.
I think it would be better to ask those educated youth who don’t work to work half a day and rest half a day, or work one day and rest one day.” Secretary Xu said.
The captain nodded, "That's feasible."
Liu Jingxue suggested, “The team should think of several options, discuss them with the educated youth, and let them choose for themselves.
They said that it was a requirement from above that the educated youth should participate more in labor, and the team came up with a special idea for their benefit.
They made the choice themselves, and if they can’t stand it, there’s no reason to blame the team.”
“I think so.
Let's discuss it with a few cadres and come up with a few plans, and then let them choose for themselves." The captain decided.
