A Family of Three with a Kitchen Transmigrates to the 1960s

A short-tempered mom? A money-grubbing dad? A humorous trio of women were sent to the 1960s by a leaky electric kettle, bringing with them a kitchen that could infinitely replicate food and a space...

Chapter 215 Movement is coming

Jiang Huashu has fully understood the specific work content and scope of responsibilities he needs to be responsible for. The position of commune director is actually very easy to understand. Simply put, it is to comprehensively manage and control all matters, big and small, and in all aspects of the entire Dongfeng People's Commune.

In the 1960s, commune directors played a crucial role, comparable in status to modern township mayors, wielding considerable power. The term "people's commune director," officially known as the director of the People's Commune Revolutionary Committee, often shortened to "Revolutionary Committee director," was used to refer to individuals holding this position. However, the numerous negative examples that emerged during the movement led to a degree of prejudice and hostility toward those who held this position. This history left a deep impression on the public, fostering a negative perception of the position. In that unique historical context, some Revolutionary Committee directors may have abused their power, fostered a cult of personality, or implemented erroneous policies, actions that sparked public discontent and resentment. Therefore, despite the passage of time, the shadow of that period continues to influence public perceptions of the position.

However, Jiang Huashu, the commune director, is a world away from his modern counterparts of the 1960s! He possesses not only valuable experience in contemporary business, but also a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of this unique era. He also has two highly intelligent think tanks who have traveled with him. Of course, most importantly, he possesses an unparalleled cheating tool: space! Let's wait and see how this commune director navigates the 1960s during that epic movement!

Originally, he and his wife had agreed to start with pig farming. After all, it was no longer suitable to plant crops in the fields at this time of year. Therefore, they decided to focus on developing some breeding projects that could be operated during the season, and then consider farming in the spring of next year. But no one expected that the ten-year movement would break out several years early, first in the central government, then in the province, and the county and township towns also began to feel nervous. A few days ago, Jiang Huashu and his nephew Suihe went to his eldest brother's house in the provincial capital, and they felt a very obvious tense atmosphere. The streets were full of people wearing red armbands. Isn't Guan Cuicui's brother-in-law in the township a beneficiary of this movement? He's already starting to tremble.

Today, Jiang Huashu was working in the commune when he overheard people discussing something privately. It turned out that quite a few smart people in the province had already noticed something unusual was going on and were taking preemptive action, using connections to send their own children to rural areas within the province. This way, even if the children had to go to the countryside to work in the fields, they could choose a place closer to home, making it easier for their families to take care of them. Jiang Huashu thought to himself, "It seems these parents are quite far-sighted!"

He reasoned that the Youth League Office would undoubtedly be very busy, after all, dealing with the placement of so many children. Furthermore, the department would be extremely busy for the next few years. Thinking of this, Jiang Huashu couldn't help but sigh at the unpredictability of life.

Since we couldn't start with the livestock industry, we had to find another way. With four months until the Lunar New Year, Jiang Huashu was going to start the Jiang's Food market—no, no, no, he was going to start the black market. Otherwise, there was no way to ensure the basic needs of the residents. Only after the residents' survival was resolved could we consider other matters.
