At the threshing ground, the entire village gathered to receive the new instructions. As the village chief slowly walked out, everyone fell silent.

"Ahem... ahem... silence... silence..."

After coughing twice and looking at all the villagers present, the village chief was also a little confused. He didn't know how to explain this order. He didn't know how the villagers would react in the future.

"Fifth Uncle, please don't keep me in suspense. We are all blood relatives, there is nothing we can't say."

"That's right, that's right, everyone in our village is from the Shen family."

What's wrong with saying it? At this time, they have things to do and don't have time to waste. If you don't say anything, they will want to move their chairs and leave.

"Alright, alright, stop whining at me, you bitches. Let's get down to business. Everything is fine. From now on, we won't have any more private plots, so we'll need to plan on adopting chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, and other poultry. Once they're grown, the village will be responsible for sending them to the purchasing station."

"The most important thing is that from now on, even your own pots will need to be used for steelmaking. You can't have them. Most importantly, all actions will follow the production team's instructions. Self-employment will not be allowed, and it won't be easy to become independent."

"What? Are you kidding?"

"Big pot meal? How can we eat this?"

"That's just...how can this be possible? We can't do this."

The hot-tempered villagers nearby jumped up immediately and resisted this action.

"No, you say no, so you can change the policy issued by the higher-ups?" Chen Wu glared at the person who jumped out. He was a troublemaker and it seemed that he still hadn't learned his lesson enough.

Which village around here isn't arranged like this? If they come out alone and attract a crowd, it will be a disaster later. He recently went to the county, where a campaign has been launched. The thought of it makes him feel a little creepy. He doesn't know if these people are crazy or have already gone insane.

"No...no...I didn't say that."

How could he change the policies from above? Besides, he couldn't control the people above him. Oh... what was he going to do from now on? Although he could eat enough in the village, the food would definitely not be as good as at home.

"What should we do? Big pot meals, this... this can..."

The rest of the words were left unsaid, but everyone's faces were filled with deep worry. They had never imagined that a policy would be issued so suddenly. What...what would they do from now on?

"Listen to me...don't interrupt me. After I've explained these things, you'll start implementing them when you get home. In a couple of days, the higher-ups will be coming to our village for an inspection. Everyone, hide anything inappropriate or unacceptable in your homes. If they find anything, you all know the consequences."

Chen Wu thought of the inspection team and immediately warned the villagers. Don't let them get caught in a fight; that would be the worst possible outcome. The higher-ups had asked him to submit a few names, but their village had no precedent for such a move, nor would they have any criminals who needed to be criticized.

"Brother Shen...Brother Shen...what's going on?"

"Yeah! How come this happened again? Fifth Uncle is really something. Do we still have to implement this kind of order in our village?"

None of them wanted to obey such an arrangement. The emperor was far away and the emperor was in charge. Moreover, it was not the time for the emperor to be in charge.

"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go home and put away the things in your house. Oh, and make sure there aren't any feudal remnants..."

Shen Chenfeng glanced at the group around him with a warning. Don't think he didn't know, these people are quite courageous. Now, it's not a question of courage or timidity. Right now, nothing can be done. They also need to deal with the hidden lines on hand, so that others won't follow the clues and find them.

"Brother Shen, are they really cracking down?"

Those who had followed Chen Chenfeng out and seen the world immediately became alert and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Well...it started a long time ago, and now it's radiating from the capital to here. I estimate that within a month, the whole country will be in trouble."

Shen Chenfeng sighed. He could only choose to protect himself and the people around him. No matter how many people there were, he couldn't control them, and he couldn't care less. He just had to fend for himself!

Back home, Chen Chenfeng and Miao Guihua took the children and carefully found all the unreasonable things in the house, packed them in a box, and prepared to hide in the back mountain under the cover of night. The back mountain was the safest place now. If the working group members were not careful and wanted to test the waters, they would be scared to death.

"Ah... I didn't expect that there are so many books and valuable items at home."

"This is not much. I have hidden everything over the years." Chenchenfeng weighed the wooden box in his hand, extremely calm.

"Yes, it's a secret place that only you know."

Miao Guihua glanced at her husband, who was becoming increasingly shrewd. Shouldn't she also grow up in the future? Otherwise, would she always be looked down upon by her husband for being stupid?

"That's our secret place." Shen Chenfeng lowered his head, kissed Miao Guihua's hair and whispered.

The four little ones watching their parents showing affection couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: showing affection is immoral, especially in front of them as children.

"The children are watching, go and get rid of the things quickly. At home, it seems that we need to take care of the poultry during this period of time."

Only a certain amount can be reserved; more would be a problem. Miao Guihua didn't want any problems to arise, so the immediate priority was to deal with them quickly. Those on the inspection team weren't the type to take things easy, so hopefully, nothing would go wrong.

Thinking of the Shen family around her, Miao Guihua put her worries to rest. No matter what, outsiders were still outsiders, and their village didn't need to worry about being bullied by these outsiders. They were all tough guys, and as they say, "poor and desolate places breed unruly people." They might as well try to be their target.

"Well, you and the kids stay home. I'll go to the back mountain."

"Be careful."

Miao Guihua cleaned up her things and glanced at the portrait of the Chairman and the Little Red Book in the hall, nodding with satisfaction. With these things, she could shut people up and avoid dwelling on these matters. A blessing is not a curse, but a curse is inevitable.

"Got it, don't worry! I'm familiar with the back hills, nothing will happen."

Chen Chenfeng nodded. He was the least worried about this problem. Although the wolves had migrated to their mountain, he was not stupid. It was not like they were in conflict with the wolves. He could just go back and there would be no problem.
