Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 197 The Revolutionary Committee Goes to the Countryside

Since that day when the team leader held a meeting and told the villagers that the Revolutionary Committee might go to the countryside, the children in the village no longer played in the village committee compound, but moved to the village entrance.

The place where the idle aunts and aunties in the village gossip has also changed, and they have moved to the big tree at the entrance of the village.

In the cold wind, she watched the children playing, mended shoe soles and chatted about gossip.

A few days passed like this, and no one from the Revolutionary Committee came.

That day, the children went to the village entrance to play again, and the aunts and aunts were there chatting about selling vegetables.

"Qiuju, how much did you get after selling all the vegetables in your house?"

"We don't grow many vegetables at home, and apart from the ones we keep for ourselves, we can't sell much, and we only make a little over 2 yuan.

Auntie, your family has grown a lot of crops, so you must have made a lot of money from selling them.”

The old lady said cheerfully, “Although our family grows a lot, we have more people in our family, and we eat and use more than your family.

So the vegetables I could sell were not much more than yours, and I only sold them for less than 5 yuan.”

Someone nearby said, "5 yuan is already a lot. It's the most money sold for vegetables in the village."

"If we had known this method earlier, we would have saved more money if we had sold all the vegetables in previous years."

"Forget it, even if we knew it earlier, who among us would dare to approach those leaders and negotiate business with them."

“Yes, it’s not too late to know now.

But if the educated youth don’t help us sell vegetables next year, those extra vegetables will still rot and be thrown away.”

“It has been three years since the educated youth went to the countryside, and we don’t know how long they will stay there, so we can’t rely entirely on them.

It would be great if the villagers in our village had that ability."

The aunties and aunties were chatting happily there and didn't notice what was happening outside the village.

But the children had already noticed that a group of people were walking towards this side not far away.

"Tiedan, there are people coming over there. Do you think it could be the Revolutionary Committee or the Red Guards?" a little kid asked Tiedan who was in the lead.

After wild boars appeared in the mountains, the smell of blood faded away, and the older children who were not in school began to run around the mountains to collect mountain products.

However, the younger children were strictly prohibited from going up the mountain.

But they were not left idle either. They were given the task of keeping an eye on the situation at the village entrance and informing the villagers of the news.

Tiedan took a look and said, "It's too far away, and I can't see clearly."

"Then I'll run over and take a look. I run fast," one of the children volunteered.

Tiedan thought for a moment and said, "You can go and take a look, but be careful not to get too close to them, or they will catch you.

People from the Revolutionary Committee and the Red Guards all wore red armbands on their arms.

All you have to do is look for the red armbands on their arms."

The child nodded, "I understand."

After saying that, he quickly ran towards the group of people in the distance.

After running a certain distance and seeing the red armbands on the hands of the group of people clearly, the child ran back faster than when he came over, shouting as he ran,

"Tiedan, go and tell them, they are coming."

After hearing this, the children immediately became anxious, "Tiedan, what should we do?"

Tiedan ran towards the village, "What should we do? Let's go back and report the news."

Tiedan ran to the big tree and took out the gong and gong hammer that had been placed there long ago. He also said to the aunties and sisters-in-law who were happily gossiping,

"Grannies and aunties, the people from the Revolutionary Committee are here, you should quickly find a way to delay them for a while.

I'm going to tell everyone the news."

As he said this, he took his things and ran towards the village, beating the gong as he ran, and kept shouting, "The people from the Revolutionary Committee are coming, the people from the Revolutionary Committee are coming."

Villagers who were closer to the village entrance came out of their homes upon hearing the noise and confirmed with Tiedan, "Tiedan, I can see clearly that it is the Revolutionary Committee that has arrived."

“It’s absolutely true.

You guys should make preparations quickly. You have to stop them and delay the time.

I have to continue to inform others."

Tiedan led a group of children, beating gongs all the way, running from the beginning to the end of the village to inform everyone.

When encountering a fork in the road, some children spontaneously run to the other side to report the news.

At this time, Liu Jingxue was practicing hard in the space.

These days, Tuanzi would regularly put the firewood lit in the space into the earthen stove outside the space at noon and evening every day, boil a pot of water, and let smoke come out of the chimney to create the illusion that she was cooking.

Liu Jingxue herself, with the help of the spirit gathering array, time array, spirit gathering pills, and fasting pills, worked hard to practice.

Only a few days had passed outside, but at this time, Liu Jingxue had been practicing for more than a year with the help of the time formation.

When Tuanzi heard the news that the Revolutionary Committee was coming from outside, he quickly woke Liu Jingxue from her meditation.

"Master, wake up quickly, the people from the Revolutionary Committee are here."

After Liu Jingxue woke up, she was a little confused at first, but she soon came to her senses.

She sneered, "I originally thought that the leaders of the Revolutionary Committee had been struck by lightning, and their lackeys would not go to the countryside to cause trouble.

I didn't expect them to come anyway.

But it was a few days later than expected.”

What Liu Jingxue didn't know was that because of the thunder she struck that day, the leaders of the Revolutionary Committee were all knocked unconscious, resulting in the spirit of the meeting not being conveyed in time.

And when those leaders woke up from their coma, no one was so blind as to immediately ask about work arrangements.

It was only after they had been in the hospital for a few days and had gotten a little better that someone asked about this.

After all, all the leaders of the Revolutionary Committee were lying in the hospital, and work was basically at a standstill. The higher-ups had inquired about this several times.

Those leaders of the Revolutionary Committee who originally did not believe those rumors began to believe them after they experienced being struck by lightning themselves.

They didn't dare to confront God anymore, so they just said they didn't know and asked them to ask Director Xin what he thought.

Director Xin was also in a state of panic at this time.

It is impossible to say that he still insists that those rumors are nonsense.

The lightning struck him without him being noticed. According to other members of the Revolutionary Committee, the roof of the second floor was not damaged at all.

He also wanted to be like everyone else, knowing nothing about anything and pushing the problem onto others.

But he couldn't do that, because he was the highest leader of the Linshan Town Revolutionary Committee, and he had always been in control of the affairs of the Revolutionary Committee.

If they fail to do their job well, they will be punished directly if they are held accountable by their superiors.

Just when he didn't know what to do, his wife woke him up.

"You've been lying here, you definitely can't go out to work.

Just assign the work and let them handle it themselves.

We don’t know whether people in the countryside will be struck by lightning or not. Even if they are struck by lightning, it will only strike those people, not you.

When the higher-ups hold you accountable, you’ve already assigned the work and you haven’t shirked your responsibilities.

Besides, you are a patient and you insist on working despite being ill, so they can’t punish you too much.”

For this reason, Director Xin arranged for the surviving members of the Revolutionary Committee to implement the policy of going to the countryside for revolution.

Let them ensure that the production team's autumn harvest work has been completed, and then send people to guide the revolutionary work.
