Watching the children line up to carry water to the fields, the scorekeeper asked the village head, "What's going on with the Guan family members not coming to work?" The village head was also helpless. Of the Guan Dashan brothers, the eldest is a piece of crap. The second lives alone, not interfering with the others' affairs (the villagers still don't know Guan's second brother's background; the verdict on Guan Lao was just approved yesterday, and the village hasn't been notified yet, so they don't know). The third brother raped his wife and asked for peanuts. The fourth and fifth brothers are always scheming, and this sixth brother is really a "six-son"! He can do anything else but hang around in the street. If his wife gives birth soon, how can he afford to raise the child? These guys haven't come to work since that bastard spy was arrested. I sent Dongzi's family to call them, but they still don't come. They act like they're working for my family. From now on, they can come or not, I won't interfere in their family's affairs anymore. They're all fucking weird.
Although the village chief was filled with hatred and wanted to ignore it, he still sighed and told the scorekeeper that he would send someone to call him when he went to work tomorrow. If he still didn't come, he would issue an ultimatum, saying that the work points he had earned before the end of the year would not be exchanged for those who didn't come to work.
As they were talking, Guan Huashu emerged from the space and returned to the village. He visited his fifth grandfather and brought some mung bean soup that Professor Dong had prepared and stored in the space, saying it was from the county. He gave it to the old man to drink. Then he went to the fields to check on the members' progress. The autumn harvest was only three days away, and everyone had been preparing for the harvest to be smooth, including the corn, sweet potatoes, and sorghum.
Fenglin County, surrounded by mountains on all sides, is effectively isolated from the outside world. Free from major disturbances, the county's spirits are remarkably positive compared to the tense atmosphere outside. The relaxed regulations in place are evident in the people strolling the streets, their baskets on their backs and their expressions relaxed. However, few dare to trade directly on the streets, as the government oversees individual transactions. With policies in place, there are countermeasures. People have resorted to two methods: the black market, which offers quick transactions and high prices, but carries significant risks. Barter, which offers no surprise inspections or robberies, is a relatively safer method of exchange.
This is the advantage of being isolated from the outside world, but it won’t last long. In a few years, even if this place can withstand the pressure and become isolated, it will not be able to escape the looting and smashing by those people with armbands.
Professor Dong walked around the street for several rounds with a small backpack on his back. He had been busy recently and finally had time to go shopping. Although the street scene was not as prosperous as he had imagined, it also allowed Professor Dong to satisfy his shopping addiction.
After a short stroll, she exchanged some items she liked. A piece of jade, a bracelet, and the jewelry were instantly stored in her space upon successful transactions. She had almost finished trading Professor Dong's backpack, so she found a deserted alleyway and restocked her belongings.
I walked around again, didn't find anything I liked, so I went home.
Don't say that Professor Dong is too much of an exaggeration to exchange grain for jade and jewelry. In this era when grain is above all else, it's good to have something to exchange for. Can you eat jade? But grain can keep you from going hungry for a while!
The next day, the members of Guanjia Village were waiting at the entrance of the brigade office to be assigned tasks when people from the commune came.
Seeing that the members were gathered here, there was no need to notify them in batches. He took out the court judgment and transfer order and read them to the members who were waiting for job assignments.
Two main announcements were made: First, Guan Ping'an was sentenced to death and executed immediately for suspected terrorist attacks, explosions, stealing state secrets, inciting relevant personnel to defect, harboring firearms and ammunition, stealing and abusing children, and other crimes.
