Chapter 451 Getting to work

The Yi family is about to make a comeback!

After the villagers were sent home, they found that some things were missing from their homes. Some people made a fuss at home, while others came out to check what was going on.

Then everyone discovered that this matter was related to Yi Chi.

This discovery frightened many people.

But on second thought, they found that the people who took the lead at the beginning were either dead or caught and locked up in the warehouse of the brigade headquarters, leaving them alone. Apart from taking advantage of the situation and watching the incident, they did not participate in anything more heinous, so their tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

Although they are all considered accomplices, the actual perpetrators and the masterminds behind the scenes are the targets of the police. It is impossible to arrest and sentence all of them!

All night long, people were coming and going in the brigade headquarters, and the policemen who saw this became nervous, thinking that these people were up to something.

The next day, the broadcast from the brigade, which had not been played for a long time, suddenly started up. The educated youth who were suddenly awakened looked at each other blankly, almost forgetting what day it was.

When everyone, half asleep and half awake, gathered on the straight road outside the brigade headquarters, the energetic village secretary stood on a big rock and cleared his throat, "Ahem!"

Those who were already confused immediately looked at him.

"Something happened in the brigade recently, and no one has time to take care of the work in the fields for a while. I can understand that. However, over the past half month, I have seen that the grass in the fields has grown taller than the wheat seedlings. That is the fate of us farmers. So I just discussed with the police comrades, and we must resume normal work and cannot let our food rations in the second half of the year have any problems! Now I will arrange..." The secretary's voice was loud, and it could be seen that he had stood up now, posing an attitude of being the master of the house, and his momentum was completely different from the past.

He looked as if he was facing a powerful enemy and was ready to take charge of the country, and he personally appointed four people as team leaders.

The villagers who had been silent started to make a fuss. It was because the four people arranged by the secretary were his brothers.

The most outrageous thing is that the two team leaders he designated for the third and fourth teams did not even live there.

"Hey, Secretary General, please don't be so greedy, okay? You are acting so big now, who knows what you are thinking? Among the four team leaders, two are your cousins, one is your cousin, and the other is your brother-in-law. What's going on? Are you going to be the local emperor in our construction team? You want to have the final say, right? Let me tell you, you have the police comrades standing behind you. If you do this, don't blame me for talking too much!"

"That is to say, Mr. Secretary, you can't do things like this! It's ok for you to eat the meat yourself, but now you even want to lick the soup clean. Isn't that too much?"

"You shameless old man, do you think you'll be alright just because the police let you out? Don't forget that we all grew up with you. If it weren't for the old village chief, do you think you could become the secretary? You want to give orders in the brigade now, wait till I die!"

Not to mention that the villagers were very dissatisfied, even the educated youth were shocked, mainly because they had never seen such a shameless person.

The policemen behind them didn't react at first, but after hearing the villagers' shouting, they understood what was going on and their eyes widened. My goodness, are they crazy? How dare they do this in front of us public officials?

There is really not a single normal person in the leadership team of this construction team!

Wu Juesheng heard the commotion outside and came out to see what was going on. After his men finished explaining, he simply waved his hand and said, "Bring that old man back to me, and then let the villagers choose someone who can take charge. Stop complaining endlessly."

"Yes."

It’s over. The secretary hadn’t even had time to show off his power when the person was taken away.

The villagers below were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

The police officer who also found it funny reached down and pressed down to quiet everyone. "Regarding the situation of the construction brigade cadres, we need to contact the leaders above to organize you to re-elect cadres. However, the matter about the fields mentioned just now is indeed the most important thing at the moment. After all, we are not from your village and don't know much about your internal situation. So, you can choose someone who can arrange things fairly to lead you temporarily and arrange the work in the fields first. Is that okay?"

"Okay! It has to be police comrade. We like to listen to you. Don't worry, we will choose and go to work right away." After getting over the initial panic, the villagers were also worried about the crops in the fields. It's just that they had been called in for talk one after another and were too busy to handle everything. Now that things are about to end and everyone is relaxed, going to work can no longer be delayed.

Soon, everyone selected three elderly people who were too old to do heavy work and asked them to organize the work.

One of them used to be the accountant of the Yi family and was temporarily serving as the accountant and scorekeeper; one of them grew up in a Taoist temple and could understand the celestial phenomena and better arrange everyone's work, so he was temporarily serving as the team leader; the last one was an old Red Army soldier who was originally a marginal person in the village. Because of his upright character, he was not liked by those in power in the village. Now he was pulled out to manage the remaining militia.

With the personnel in place, everyone quickly rushed to the farmland outside Zhida Road and began the weeding task.

The work content of the educated youth is the same as that of the villagers, but now there is too much gap between them and the villagers, so the old Taoist priest arranged a separate area for them to work.

The educated youth were a little uncomfortable with the sudden need to work after resting for more than half a month, but everyone was talking and laughing, so it wasn't difficult to endure.

He Chongwen's injury had healed, but he couldn't do any heavy work anyway, so he squatted at the edge with Wu Xiaoxiao. The two new educated youths, who had money in their pockets and were not worried, chatted and slacked off.

On the other side, Zhang Ming, whose leg had not yet fully healed but was helped out by Guan Wenbin and Zhao Chunjiang to join the work, stared at everyone else with gritted teeth, as if he had a blood feud with everyone.

However, this man did hate them unilaterally. He did not dare to hold a grudge against the villagers who outnumbered him. He just resented the educated youth. Who made the educated youth hand him over? If they had not given the villagers a chance, his legs would not have been broken. Therefore, this guy was full of conspiracies and calculations. He even set his eyes on Wu Aiqing's medicine box, wanting to steal her exclusive secret recipe, the miraculous medicine for treating constipation.

The other educated youth didn't take Zhang Ming seriously at all. Even Wu Xiaoxiao came to her senses because she was too disappointed in him. She stopped racking her brains to make excuses for others and continued to indulge herself in him.
