Niu Dajun didn't eat with everyone; instead, he went directly to the county committee to find his uncle.

Niu Dajun's uncle has a very interesting name: Niu (牛) and Peng (鹏), which means "a roc spreading its wings." However, when people first hear it, they often mishear it as "cowshed" (牛棚).

"Oh dear, you've done a good deed and gotten yourself into trouble!" Niu Peng said slowly after hearing his nephew's story, taking a sip of tea. "Luckily, He Tiantian has a clean background and isn't that kind of reckless girl, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to clear your name either. By the way, tell me the truth, did you actually date that girl?"

Young girls and boys, who knows, there might be some sparks between them!

Niu Dajun smiled wryly and quickly explained, "Uncle, you don't know me. How could I do such a thing? He Tiantian and I are just ordinary friends. Secretary Qi and Comrade Qi Xiaoyan can attest to that! The reason I rode my bicycle with He Tiantian was because Qi Xiaoyan asked me to."

"Is this Qi Xiaoyan Qi Rongjun's sister?" Niu Peng asked. As long as it wasn't true, that was fine. He was afraid that if he distanced himself from her, Niu Dajun would be flirting with her again. It was better to just admit that they were in a relationship.

"Yes, He Tiantian is Xiaoyan's good friend, and that's why I'm relatively familiar with her. There's really nothing between us, and we won't have any special relationship in the future," Niu Dajun explained. "Uncle, you have to believe me, I wouldn't lie."

"That's good. The fact that He Tiantian was able to get the commune director from Nanshi to personally write an official letter so quickly shows that her family isn't ordinary. If you don't like the girl, don't give her any hope, lest love turns to hate and things escalate." Niu Peng, being an experienced person, thought more deeply. Niu Dajun didn't have those kinds of feelings for He Tiantian, but what if He Tiantian did?

Niu Dajun was both amused and exasperated. He said, "Uncle, it's only in your eyes that your nephew is handsome and talented. He Tiantian has a childhood sweetheart who is said to be a highly skilled person at the weapons research institute. She wouldn't be interested in a postman from our poor, remote village."

"That's good." Niu Peng was relieved. "You don't need to worry about this. I've spoken to Zheng Hongjun and asked him to keep an eye on things. As for that Zhou Sihai, he's been too arrogant lately."

"Yes, Zhou Sihai is very arrogant. Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I heard that he actually hit Qi Xingwang, a hero in our county. Grandpa Qi is a senior figure in Qijia Village and a hero. He is highly respected in Qijia Village and has aroused the anger of the villagers. Secretary Qi is very angry and probably won't let it go. Uncle, I'm telling you, you know what I mean."

"That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous!" Niu Peng cursed. "How dare a mere brat treat a hero like that? I know about this."

Although things are chaotic now, that's only in certain aspects. The mainstream values ​​are still beautiful. That is, to admire soldiers, especially those who once defended the country and shed their blood for the establishment of the new China.

Taoyuan County is too far from those distant political centers, so the worship of soldiers has not been affected in the slightest, and has even become more fervent. The neglect of the old heroes has made the cadres lose face!

After finishing his conversation with his uncle, Niu Dajun went to find a place to eat something. When he came out, Secretary Qi and his men had not yet arrived at the commune.

Everyone was worried, so they rode their bicycles and found that Zhou Sihai had brought dozens of people to surround Secretary Qi.

Knowing he wouldn't be able to help even if he went over there, Niu Dajun shouted from a distance, "Secretary Qi, please calm down! I'll go to the commune to call for help!"

When Zhou Sihai saw that the man was Niu Dajun, he became very anxious. He could immediately provoke the people of Qijia Village, and once a fight broke out, he could arrest them all.

Secretary Qi, who was initially very nervous, shouted loudly upon hearing Niu Dajun's words: "Sit down, everyone! Sit on the ground. I'll see if Zhou Sihai dares to beat up ordinary people in the street this week! Don't think that just because you're wearing that coat, you can bully us ordinary people. This is a country where the people are the masters, not a place for despicable people like you."

The onlookers and people on both sides of the street all turned to look, and many applauded and cheered after hearing Secretary Qi's words.

Zhou Sihai was a notorious ruthless man in the county, and everyone was afraid of him. However, seeing that some people dared to defy Zhou Sihai, they were very curious and wanted to see why these people were not afraid of Zhou Sihai.

Secretary Qi forbade his subordinates to take action, so Zhou Sihai really couldn't arrest people in the street. After all, he had no evidence whatsoever of anything bad about Qi Family Village, not even a single letter of denunciation. Sigh, I should have gotten a few after I got back last night.

Early this morning, Zhou Sihai led a large group of people to try and ambush Secretary Qi on the road, but Qi took a different route and they failed to intercept him. Upon arriving in the county town, they found Secretary Qi and his entourage, who had almost finished their meal.

Meanwhile, Niu Dajun rode his bicycle at breakneck speed to the commune compound, shouting loudly, "Zhou Sihai and his men are beating up anti-Japanese heroes and petitioners!"

Upon hearing this, the people in the commune were immediately alarmed. A major public incident couldn't be allowed to occur in Taoyuan County! Niu Peng quickly organized a team to investigate. County Chief Liu was also greatly alarmed; Niu Peng had just explained the whole situation to him. If it escalated, it would become a very serious public incident.

If this isn't handled properly, I could lose my job!

As they passed the commune gate, County Chief Liu said, "Director Zheng, Zhou Sihai has gotten into trouble. If you don't go soon, our entire commune is probably doomed."

They were colleagues from the same unit, and Zheng Hongjun knew that County Chief Liu was a steady person who wouldn't say such things unless something serious happened. His current agitation suggested the matter was probably quite serious.

"What happened?" Director Zheng asked loudly, putting on his coat as he followed County Chief Liu outside. "There haven't been any tasks these past few days!"

Niu Peng followed up and said, "This is my fault. This morning, my nephew Niu Dajun came to the commune and told me that yesterday, Zhou Sihai took two letters of complaint and went to arrest a model worker, Comrade He Tiantian. When they asked him for evidence, he had no witnesses or physical evidence besides the complaint letters. Since he couldn't produce any other evidence, the villagers wouldn't let Zhou Sihai arrest her. After all, Comrade He Tiantian is only a fifteen-year-old girl. She responded to the country's call at such a young age and came to the countryside to support rural construction. She has high ideological awareness and is a good comrade. She shouldn't be treated so rudely! And that's not all. He also beat up Qi Xingwang, a famous anti-Japanese hero in our commune, without even asking any questions."

Niu Peng briefly explained the whole story. (To be continued.)
