What does that mean?

But the more I looked, the more it seemed to be trying to explain something, so I found paper and pen and slowly started fitting the sentences together. Half an hour later, I finally understood. There was a sentence on the paper: "I understand, please rest assured, awaiting your letter."

Meanwhile, after Shen Nan and the others received the letter, it was filled with quotes. What kind of letter is this? It's almost entirely composed of quotes, with her mouth constantly spouting them. This is completely unlike the usual Mian Mian. Could someone be impersonating her? But she knows her handwriting perfectly well, so how could she be mistaken?

He picked up the letter and looked at it from left to right. Suddenly, he noticed that the word "得" in each quote could be strung together to form a sentence: "Wen left Beijing for Jitong, Tao entered Hongxiang and set his sights on Yang."

When Shen Dong and the others saw these 12 characters, they already knew what they meant. They didn't call or write home. They knew from the letter that everything was under their father's control. If they called or wrote home and were discovered, it would only make things worse.

Just as I sent the letter, letters arrived from Beijing and other places. The first one I opened was Uncle Shen's reply. After reading it, I summarized three points:

1. Do not write home anymore.

2. Regarding the Gu family matter, I do not agree with Gu Cuicui, so I will ask Uncle Zhou for Gu Yunpeng's letter of recommendation.

3. The addresses are all on the next sheet of paper.

Next came a letter from my elder brother, Shen Dong: the content was very simple, just mentioning that things were very chaotic outside recently, and that I should not go into the city unless necessary, and if I did go into the city on business, I should not linger.

Another point is that when Gu Cuicui was pursuing her third brother, if he continued to pester her, she should say that Shen Xi was on a mission and could not be contacted for the time being.

Looking at Sister Nan's and Fourth Brother's letters, the content is similar to that of the eldest brother's letter.

As for Third Brother's letter, that's interesting. It says that if Gu Cuicui comes to me again, I should tell her that I already have someone I love and that I will marry no one but her in this life. It also says that if Gu Cuicui doesn't believe me, I should show her the letter.

I also opened and looked at the other letters. The main thing they mentioned was to study the quotations carefully, and that they had sent me a copy of the quotations.

After opening all the packages and sorting the items, there were several books of quotations and a few badges of leaders.

I was speechless. Was this some kind of scheme to get me to sell it? But then I thought I could keep the badges as souvenirs, and as for the books of quotes, I could take a share.

He quickly put everything on the kang (heated brick bed) into his spatial storage, then picked up the backpack beside him and put several books of quotations from the table inside. After thinking for a moment, he took out another book and placed it on the kang cabinet before leaving. Once in the courtyard, he called out, "Chen Junjie, Chen Enpeng, come out for a moment, I need to see you."

"They're here."

"What's wrong, Mianmian?"

"Hurry up, assemble at Chen Enpeng's door!"

"OK"

When I opened the front door, they both opened theirs at the same time, and when they saw me come out,

Chen Junjie asked, "What's wrong, Mianmian?"

"It's nothing, it's just that there are two copies of the leader's quotations here. Do you two have them? If not, you can take them and read them first."

"No, Pengzi and I went to the county town yesterday specifically to buy some, but we couldn't find any."

"Then let's look at this first," she said, taking it out.

"How much"

"have no idea"

"The county supply and marketing cooperative and bookstores both charged one cent per book," Chen Enpeng said. (I couldn't actually find the price per book online at that time.)

"Just give each of you one cent."

"OK"

"I'll go back and get you the money."

No rush.

"Take it."

"good"

The two of them came out shortly after and gave me the money.

"By the way, Mianmian, Jiezi, please don't call them that anymore. It might cause trouble. Yesterday, when we went into town, two people were arrested by the people wearing red armbands because of how they were addressed."

"What? What time was that? How come I didn't know?"

"You were queuing at the supply and marketing cooperative, queuing at the bookstore, it happened right next to the bookstore."

"So that's how it is."

"From now on, in front of others, please add your name as 'Comrade' or 'Educated Youth'."

"Sure, either way is fine."

"I have no problem either."

"You guys are busy, you need to go out for a bit."

"Please be careful on the road."

"good"

"Pengzi, where do you think Mianmian went?"

"I don't know, and don't ask too much. It's better for both of you."

"knew"

I arrived at Grandpa Wang's house in fifteen minutes and knocked on the door.

A moment later, I heard footsteps, followed by, "Who's there?"

"Grandpa Wang, it's me, Mianmian."

"Mianmian, why are you here so late? Come inside and we'll talk."

"No need, Grandpa Wang. Things have been chaotic in the city lately, and the capital sent me several copies of Quotations. I'm just sending you one."

"I was just thinking of asking Lao Huang to bring me one tomorrow."

"They're out of stock in the city. Chen Junjie and his brother went to buy some yesterday, and they were all gone."

"Alright then! How much is it per book? Here's the money."

"Grandpa Wang, this book didn't cost any money, so please take it," she said, taking it out of her bag and handing it to Grandpa Wang.

Grandpa Wang took it and said, "Okay."

"Grandpa Wang will head back now."

Let's go back.

Before long, it affected the production teams. They started checking each household to see if they had a variety of poultry and livestock, causing chaos in each production team. There was even a death in the next production team before things calmed down a bit. But even so, a group of people still came to the production teams every day.

The production team members started chanting slogans when they met: "A single spark can start a prairie fire. Uncle, have you eaten yet?"

"Make up your mind, fear no sacrifice, overcome all difficulties, and strive for victory! You've eaten, what about you?"

"Where there is oppression, there is resistance! Eat up, it's getting late, Uncle should hurry up and go, otherwise they'll start taking attendance again soon."

"Humility leads to progress, while pride leads to downfall. Yes, yes, let's hurry up and move on."

Even those following behind found it awkward to listen, but there was nothing they could do; this was the only way for now. The Little Red Army soldiers in the city had started operating at some point, and recently some of the boys in the production team had also begun calling themselves Little Red Army soldiers, causing the commune members to live in constant fear.

Putting them aside, even I was quite frightened. I was extremely grateful that after I went to the city last time, I checked everything inside and outside the house, and put all the conspicuous items into my spatial storage.

Luckily I did it a day in advance, otherwise I was almost scared to death that day, I still get scared thinking about it now.

I remember that morning, after finishing work, I saw a group of Red Guards gathered outside the educated youth dormitory. Seeing me approach, the leader stepped forward and asked, "A single spark can start a prairie fire. Are you Comrade Li Mianmian?"

I wasn't quite processed by those words when I heard them, but my motto remained: "I won't offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will retaliate!" Hello, may I ask who you are?

"Humility leads to progress, while arrogance leads to downfall. I am Zhang Weiguo, you can just call me Comrade Zhang. We are from the county town."
