Chapter 80 The Disappearing Cloth Coupons



Wang Fengzhi rode Zhang Hongcheng's bicycle and rushed all the way with his good friend Mo Weiqiang.

Mo Weiqiang was the short male educated youth who had sneered before.

Xiao Mo kept his hands pressed against his chest, not daring to relax at all.

Almost all the food coupons and money for the entire educated youth site were in his chest pocket, so he did not dare to be careless at all.

Wang Fengzhi and Mo Weiqiang were both very nervous.

The educated youth who went to the countryside to work went to buy commercial grain, and bought so much of it. They shouldn't be arrested, right?

Wang Fengzhi thought of the three letters in his arms and felt that the new captain might be joking. Did he really think he was Zhuge Liang?

But the educated youth had no choice, and before the two of them set off, everyone had already eaten the remaining food at the captain's request...

Wang Fengzhi stepped faster.

The two passed by Qikou Village, but Xiao Mo took over riding and did not stop at all.

We hurried and hurried to the breeding farm before it got completely dark.

Zhang Hongcheng's first letter was to Jian Songhua, deputy director of the seed farm.

No one knows what Zhang Hongcheng wrote in the letter, but Deputy Director Jian was so pleased that he not only treated the two of them to a good meal, but also let them stay in the staff dormitory for one night, and even said that the bicycle was very useful.

The next day, just after dawn, Wang Fengzhi and Mo Weiqiang jumped on the first passing bus.

After changing buses twice on the way, the two hungry men finally arrived at the headquarters of the Second Battalion of the 39th Regiment.

Following the captain's instructions, the two of them found a clerk named Chen Beilei.

Clerk Chen took them all the way back to the field office and handed the second letter to Deputy Director Liu of the Youth League Office.

Deputy Director Liu was very kind and personally took them to the site warehouse to buy food.

Only then did Chen Beilei take out a large stack of grain and oil specially used by the educated youth in the Corps from her bag. This was something Zhang Hongcheng had agreed with the people in the fifth company in advance. He would lend them a portion to buy their grain quota first and return it during the autumn harvest.

The process of buying grain was uneventful, but Wang Fengzhi and Mo Weiqiang were always in a state of anxiety.

The last letter was given to a passing driver named He.

I really don’t know what Captain Zhang wrote in the letter that made the driver so excited.

He readily promised to "turn a corner" on the way and transport the food back for them.

The educated youth in the co-pilot seat seemed to be very familiar with the captain, and his face was full of smiles when he mentioned "Zhang Hongcheng".

The two people sitting on the grain bags in the truck bed finally had a certain understanding of Zhang Hongcheng's "power".

The letter that Zhang Hongcheng wrote to He Donghong naturally contained all kinds of information about his mother-in-law provided by the fat man.

The letter Zhang Hongcheng wrote to Deputy Director Liu contained his latest experience and insights—an unsigned one.

The content directly refers to a recent essay writing activity held by the division.

This is Deputy Director Liu’s favorite “gift”, so he willingly went to the warehouse to “help”.

It was a gray area for non-corps educated youth to borrow notebooks to buy food. If Deputy Director Liu hadn't said hello, no one would have paid any attention to Chen Beilei no matter how many notebooks she brought.

Deputy Director Liu was very happy to have Zhang Hongcheng, a young man with a promising future, owe him a favor, and Zhang Hongcheng was also very willing to owe Deputy Director Liu a favor.

As for the letter to the two deputy station directors, it was another plan of Zhang Hongcheng and will not be mentioned here for the time being.

Red Flag Youth League Point.

Zhang Hongcheng was visiting a male educated youth named Liu Jintang.

This is the person who was beaten by villagers in Qikou Village during the conflict at the end of the year.

Liu Jintang has a broken leg and has been lying in bed for two months. He will have to continue lying in bed for at least another month.

The villagers who beat him up simply gave him 30 kilograms of food and that was the end of the matter.

This was Tong Quanliang's decision.

Zhang Hongcheng gave Liu Jintang a can of malted milk he had brought with him.

Liu Jintang sat on the kang with tears in his eyes.

The fair-skinned guy has a feeling of melancholy.

Zhang Hongcheng returned to the office and began to think carefully about the incident behind Liu Jintang.

Everyone at the educated youth center is now focused on food rations.

But once the food is delivered back, everyone's attention will return to this matter.

After all, the educated youth are all young people, and it is not easy for them to swallow this humiliation. What's more, this matter does not only involve Liu Jintang alone.

According to the records in Yu Kai's memoirs, when the Red Flag Youth League site was established, the higher authorities allocated a benefit to the educated youth.

Five feet of cotton cloth per person.

Tong Quanliang and Xu Changshun went to the Hongqitun team headquarters to ask for their share of the cloth, and promised to distribute it to the 43 educated youth (the educated youth team leader was still there at the time).

The county's cloth was transported to the Hongqitun team headquarters, but instead of being distributed, it was sent to the supply and marketing cooperative.

When the educated youth team leader at that time went to ask, Tong Quanliang said that the village was looking for someone to print cloth coupons for the village.

Cloth coupons would be distributed to every educated youth, and they could go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them when they needed them.

But later, when cloth coupons were printed, the educated youth were still unable to receive them.

Things were delayed until the early Chinese New Year.

The educated youth suddenly received news that some villagers took cloth coupons to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy their quota of cloth, which triggered the conflict.

Liu Jintang was a man of sharp tongues. The villagers who used tickets to buy cloth couldn't argue with him, so they gave him a hard blow.

The cloth coupon is now on Zhang Hongcheng's desk.

The villager named Tong Haisheng insisted that he had picked up the cloth coupons himself, so the team decided to make him make a meaningless self-criticism and compensate him with 30 kilograms of grain.

But something even more infuriating happened.

Just as the former educated youth team leader was transferred, the village's old accountant drank himself to death.
