Chapter 035 Hitting the Iron Plate
Ye Qing had just picked up the chopsticks to eat the slaughtered pig dish, but now he couldn't eat it.
She just wanted to have a bite of freshly slaughtered wild boar. Is it easy for her?
Ye Qing was helpless, because as soon as the man outside complained, all the brigade cadres in the room put down their bowls and chopsticks and stood up. It would be inappropriate for her to continue sitting down to eat.
Seeing that everyone was going out, Ye Qing had no choice but to follow them.
Outside the door, Li Juan was holding her chin high, glaring at Yin Shuang in the crowd with a smug look on her face;
Yin Shuang's face was filled with shock and anger. She couldn't believe that Li Juan would do such a stupid thing as reporting her in public!
The members of the village were all shocked. When they heard that there was a wild boar, they could not even take care of the food they had just slaughtered. They all ran over and asked excitedly:
"Where is it? Where is it hiding? What are you waiting for? Go and catch that guy!"
As soon as the captain and several officers came out, they looked at Yin Shuang:
"Comrade Xiao Yin, tell me yourself, is this true?"
Yin Shuang's face turned pale, and her eyes evaded in panic:
"No, I just picked some wild fruits from the mountain. I was afraid of being discovered, so I hid them over there by the thatched cottage. Li Juan must have seen it wrong."
Yin Shuang was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, and her eyes flashed with deep resentment when she looked at Li Juan.
If she had known that this idiot was going to ruin her business after coming to Kaoshantun, she should not have been so soft-hearted. She should have put a few more packets of laxatives on the train and let this idiot die of diarrhea on the train!
Seeing Yin Shuang lying with her eyes half closed, Li Juan immediately retorted:
"She's lying! If they were really wild fruits, would they have to hide them? After I came here, everyone in the village told me that there are plenty of wild fruits in the mountains behind in autumn. Anyone who wants can go into the mountains to pick them!"
"I was going back to the village to drink water when I saw her coming down the mountain with a basket in her arms. Something was moving inside. I could hear it grunting. It must have been a wild boar!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Aren't wild boars big and weighing several hundred pounds? Put it in a basket and hold it in your arms. Given the physique of the educated youth Xiao Yin, she is not as strong as the educated youth Xiao Ye, so how could she hold a wild boar?
Ye Qing: Thank you so much! I can only kill pigs, but I am not King Kong Barbie and I cannot lift a wild boar weighing hundreds of kilograms!
Captain Wu grasped the key point, and he immediately glared at Yin Shuang fiercely:
"Yin Zhiqing, tell me the truth, did you catch a wild boar?"
Yin Shuang's breath was choked, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to speak again.
Her heart sank as she realized that there was no way this matter could be resolved peacefully.
Sure enough, when they heard that Yin Shuang had caught a wild boar, the crowd was immediately shocked.
Captain Wu's face was frighteningly stern, and he immediately ordered his men to go to the hut to check the situation.
The group of people didn't care about eating the pig food anymore and ran to the end of the village.
When they arrived at the deserted thatched hut at the end of the village where Zhao Mazi and Widow Zhang had had an affair, they searched the house from front to back but did not find the basket and wild boar that Li Juan had mentioned. They thought that Li Juan had made a mistake.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a villager suddenly remembered something and reminded:
"There's a cellar in the back room. It must be in the cellar!"
Everyone finally reacted and rushed to the back. In the back room, which had collapsed to the point where only half of the adobe wall remained, there was a cellar that was pressed down by a door panel. After the door panel was opened, the entrance to the cellar was revealed.
Before they went down, someone heard the grunting sound of wild boar babies coming from below.
Wu Cong jumped down first and quickly pulled out the wild boar baby hidden in the cellar.
A black piglet weighing only about 20 to 30 kilograms was struggling and looking at the group of two-legged beasts in front of it in horror.
After confirming that what Li Juan reported was not wrong, not only the captain but also several other officers were furious.
Wu Yongbing turned around and stared at Yin Shuang:
"Did you enter the mountain this morning? Where did you catch this wild boar?"
Yin Shuang's face was tense. Being stared at by so many people, her whole body was stiff and her scalp was numb. How could she dare to tell the truth?
Some people still didn't understand the situation and didn't know why several production team cadres were so angry about Yin Shuang catching a wild boar.
But some of the old educated youth had changed their minds and glared at Yin Shuang with extreme anger:
"Didn't you say you were not feeling well and asked for leave today? Why did you go to the mountains instead of staying at home to rest? You even stole someone's wild boar cub. You were trying to kill people, didn't you know that?"
"Do you have any brains? How could you be so stupid and evil? You secretly took someone's child down the mountain, how could those wild boars not rush down the mountain to look for him? There were so many people working in the fields today, and you did this behind the scenes without saying a word!"
"If you had told the villagers after you caught the piglet, they would have been more prepared and such a big incident wouldn't have happened today, and Li Yunbo wouldn't have been hit by a wild boar and almost died!"
The more he scolded the educated youth, the angrier he became. The look in his eyes when he looked at Yin Shuang was as if he was mad and wanted to eat someone. If he hadn't been held back by someone, he would have rushed over and pinned Yin Shuang to the ground and beat her up.
This educated youth was a fellow villager of Li Yunbo, named Tan Yong. He and Li Yunbo usually went in and out together. Their relationship was not very good, but at least at the critical moment, he would never stab Li Yunbo in the back.
When Li Yunbo had that incident today, it was Tan Yong who reacted first. He rushed to find the old branch secretary to report the news. If the team leader had not asked Tao Qingxiang to accompany Li Yunbo to the hospital when he sent Li Yunbo, he would definitely have volunteered to take care of him.
Now that we know that the wild boar falling down the mountain was not an accident but a human act, how can Tan Yong not be overly emotional?
Not only Tan Yong, but other educated youth also finally understood what was going on after listening to Tan Yong's cursing. They all glared at Yin Shuang with hatred.
They once again recalled the fear of being dominated by wild boars in the morning.
When the wild boar rushed to the ground, it was determined to fight them to the death. It just pushed anyone and Li Yunbo, a grown man, was pushed several meters away. The scene was so scary just thinking about it that they might have nightmares when they fell asleep at night.
Ye Qing was stunned by this plot reversal.
When she was reminded by Meng Jia, she thought Yin Shuang was going to do something to harm her. But she didn't expect that this girl was just greedy and actually stole a wild boar from the mountain and hid it at the end of the village.
This made Ye Qing very confused.
Isn't this Yin Shuang the heroine of the original novel? How can catching a wild boar in the mountains trigger such a huge chain reaction? Has the heroine's koi luck gone astray and started to develop in the direction of bad luck?
Yin Shuang couldn't understand why this happened.
When she got up in the morning, she had a strong feeling that if she went into the mountains today, she would definitely bring back something good.
So she found an excuse to take a leave, and sneaked into the mountain when no one was in the village. She had only been in Kaoshan Village for a few days, and had never been to Changbai Mountain before. She didn't know what was attracting her in the mountains. She went in completely based on her intuition, and came to a cliff without any obstruction. She actually found four little black wild boars, each weighing twenty or thirty kilograms.
When Yin Shuang saw it, it was as if she saw a roasted suckling pig waving at her. She couldn't help drooling on the spot.
There were so many little piglets, which together weighed more than 100 kilograms of meat. Of course, she had to find a way to take them all back. However, she could not carry four wild boars by herself, and she only brought one basket with her when she went into the mountain.
So she thought of a way. She tied up the four little wild boars with ropes, then found a cave, hid three of them in the cave, and put the remaining one in a basket and carried it back down the mountain.
But she is still living in the home of member Zhao Guosheng, and she doesn't dare to take the little wild boar back to the Zhao family. If she really takes it back, the wild boar will definitely have to be shared with other members of the Zhao family. There are only 20 to 30 kilograms of meat in total, and it is estimated that at least three-quarters of it will be eaten by the Zhao family. How can Yin Shuang bear to do that?
So she set her sights on the abandoned thatched hut where Zhao Mazi had had an affair before. Ever since Zhao Mazi and Widow Zhang were caught having an affair, the abandoned thatched hut became a place that the villagers avoided. Everyone thought it was unlucky or embarrassing, and no one would go there unless it was necessary.
So she planned to store the little wild boar in that house first. Whether to chop the wild boar directly and roast it whole or raise the wild boar before killing it, it all depended on her mood later. Anyway, this was her plan.
But after she hid the first wild boar cub in the thatched hut and was preparing to go up the mountain, she found out that there was chaos in the village. Not only had a group of wild boars rushed down from the mountain, but they had also injured people. One educated youth was even so seriously injured that he was sent directly to the hospital.
Yin Shuang was not stupid either. She quickly thought of the wild boar cub she had stolen and brought home. She suspected that she had led the wild boar down the mountain. Her heart suddenly sank and she dared not go up the mountain again. On the one hand, she was afraid that someone would discover that she had caught the wild boar cub. On the other hand, she was also afraid that she would run into another adult wild boar if she went into the mountain.
She didn't dare tell anyone about this matter and just acted as if nothing had happened, pretending that she knew nothing about it. Anyway, she had taken a day off and didn't go to work today, so it was normal for her not to know what happened in the field. What did a wild boar coming down the mountain and injuring people have to do with her?
But Yin Shuang didn't expect that her behavior of hiding the wild boar was seen by Li Juan, and was even exposed by Li Juan in front of so many people in the village.
At this time, a group of educated youth hated Yin Shuang to the core. Jian Ming, who pushed Li Yunbo out as a shield, even wanted to kill the new female educated youth alive.
The old educated youth were not so easily fooled. Although everyone said that they did not blame Jian Ming, they were somewhat resentful about this matter in their hearts. After all, they could only speak without any hesitation when Li Yunbo was not around. But if they were the ones who were pushed out by Jian Ming today, I guess all of them would be furious and kill Jian Ming.
Therefore, Jian Ming could clearly feel that since Li Yunbo was seriously injured and sent to the hospital, the attitudes of the other old educated youth towards him had become a little subtle, and his words were obviously not as effective as before.
This means that the good reputation he had worked so hard to build among the old educated youth group over the past few years was destroyed today, and all of this was caused by just a few wild boars. These wild boars happened to be attracted by the heroine of Jinli when she stole the piglets. How could Jian Ming not hate this culprit?
Compared to the emotional fluctuations of these educated youth, the reactions of the villagers in Kaoshantun were much more realistic. Everyone was very practical. The first thing they thought of was, if Li Yunbo's injury was not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster, then does the village not have to pay for the medical expenses? If the village does not have to pay, then this expense will not be shared by everyone.
"Captain, we need to talk this over. The wild boar didn't come down the mountain on its own. The expenses for Li Zhiqing's hospitalization and surgery have nothing to do with our village. We don't agree to pay for this. Yin Zhiqing must be held responsible!"
"For so many years, we have never encountered wild boars so arrogant that they ran to the foot of the mountain in broad daylight to destroy our crops and attack villagers. These wild boars are not sick of living. They knew we had guns, but they still rushed up to die? It turns out that they are actually looking for their children. We think this is unlucky, but they feel wronged. Not only did they steal their children for no reason, but they came down the mountain to look for them and killed five innocent lives!"
"That's right. Yin Zhiqing hurt someone, so it's only natural for him to pay for his medical treatment. It doesn't make sense for this responsibility to be shared by people like us who have nothing to do with it. If you want to do this, I, Li Cuihua, will be the first to disagree!"
"Even if this matter spreads to the commune or the county, we still say the same thing. Money is not life-threatening. We won't take the blame if it's not our fault!"
A group of people talked at once, and pointed their guns at Yin Shuang with a common hatred.
Yin Shuang's face turned pale and blue at this moment, and she cried and shouted angrily:
"I admit that I brought the wild boar cub down the mountain, but I didn't know it would attract wild boars when I brought it down. I didn't do it on purpose. Besides, who can be sure that the wild boars came down the mountain to look for their cubs? Maybe they were just hungry in the mountains and came down to look for food? Why do you put the blame on me?"
But Yin Shuang's trickery was totally unconvincing.
It is autumn now, the time when there are the most wild fruits and delicacies in the mountains. It is also the time when wild animals eat frequently and gain weight quickly. It is ridiculous to say that wild boars can be hungry in the mountains at this time.
Zhao Guosheng was filled with fear, thinking that it was all because of the female educated youth who did not bring the wild boar baby back to his home. Otherwise, with his stupid wife's brain, she would definitely kill the wild boar baby and hide it immediately. If that were the case, the female educated youth might shirk the responsibility and say that the wild boar baby was stolen by their family, and then their whole family would have to bear the blame.
Zhao Guosheng was terrified at the thought that he might have to pay hundreds of dollars for medical expenses for no reason. He saw that this educated youth from the city who lived in his home was filled with fear.
He felt that he would have to go and talk to the team leader alone at night. It was okay to let the educated youth stay at his house, but could he change to a place that was less troublesome, such as Ye Qingye, the educated youth? It would be better for Yin Shuang to go to someone else's house, as his family could not afford such a big Buddha.
Yin Shuang's crying was of no use, so the team leader simply held a public meeting in the grain-drying field to discuss the matter, and then the villagers and new and old educated youth in the village voted. In the end, more than 90% of the people raised their hands in favor of Yin Shuang paying for the medical expenses. If Yin Shuang was unwilling to pay, then she could use her future work points to offset the cost.
This result made Yin Shuang collapse on the spot, she fell to the ground and burst into tears, her eyes full of hatred as she looked at everyone in the village.
Ye Qing couldn't help but frown.
Could it be that Yin Shuang had a mental breakdown and hated everyone in the village? If that was the case, it would not be a good thing.
It's not that she has a dark mind and thinks too much, it's mainly because she has read the original novel and knows that the heroine of Kinki is a bit evil. Her European emperor physique is not fake. Whatever she wants can be fulfilled. What if this woman is full of resentment and turns evil on the spot, and wants to kill everyone in the village?
The more Ye Qing thought about it, the worse the situation seemed. She felt that Yin Shuang might use a big move later. This instantly raised Ye Qing's alert line to the highest level. She felt that she must increase her defenses against Yin Shuang to prevent this woman from going crazy and affecting her, an innocent passerby.
Everyone had lost interest in the pig slaughtering celebration banquet because of Yin Shuang's disruption. Seeing that the captain looked unhappy, Ye Qing didn't want to continue feeling the low pressure of these officers in the threshing ground, so she put the pig slaughtering food back into the lunch box and called Grandma Zou to go home quickly. She was afraid that she would have indigestion after eating the meal in this atmosphere.
At this time, Ye Qing and even the people in the entire village did not know that Yin Shuang had concealed the fact that she had hidden three wild boars in a cave in the mountains. Several cadres thought that Yin Shuang had stolen a wild boar cub when she entered the mountain. After discussion, they decided to raise the wild boar cub together with the domestic pigs in the pigpen to see if it could be kept alive.
Ye Qing began to review what happened that day in the evening. On the one hand, she knew that it was definitely inappropriate to be so high-profile in the county hospital today. But with the phone number she gave to the old comrade, the hospital would definitely not and dare not investigate her in a high-profile manner. However, the old comrade would definitely come to find out the situation later. If he knew that she had performed the surgery on Li Yunbo, he might become suspicious of her background.
So we must think of a reasonable reason and give an explanation to that old comrade.
On the other hand, through today's incident, she also realized a problem, that is, if she set up a health station, she would lack not only various medicines, but also a set of handy scalpels. Otherwise, in a situation like today, with flying needles and supernatural powers, she would not have to run so far to the county, she could solve it in the village.
However, the prerequisite for performing the operation in the village was that she could comfort the old comrade and give a reasonable explanation for the medical skills she mastered.
Otherwise, she felt that she would soon be targeted by the intelligence department.
It just so happened that she learned from Aunt Gu today that there was a telephone in the commune. It seemed that she would have to go to the commune tomorrow and give the old comrade a call. No matter whether the reason she came up with could convince him or not, she was using the tiger's skin and waving a big banner to scare people. She couldn't use him and then not even say a basic thank you.
Ye Qing had a nightmare for the first time in the night. She dreamed that a dozen military vehicles rushed into Kaoshantun and surrounded the house where she lived. A group of soldiers in green uniforms with live ammunition were pointing their weapons at her. An old comrade in a Zhongshan suit with a serious face stood on a military truck in the middle, shouting in the yard with a loudspeaker to let her confess and give up resistance. If she didn't hand over her superpowers, she would have to taste the power of hot weapons.
Ye Qing was so frightened that her soul was about to pass out. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw that she was still lying on the bed in Grandma Zou's house. The sky outside was already turning pale and she could faintly hear the chirping of birds in the woods behind her. Everything was so quiet and peaceful. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After cursing a few words in her heart, she got up and started a new day.
In the morning, Ye Qing went to the captain to ask for leave again. She did not hide the reason. She just said that the reason why the director of the county hospital was willing to give her a back door yesterday was because she was taking advantage of the power of an elder.
So she had to go to the commune and make a phone call to explain the situation to the other party, otherwise she was afraid that the elder would think too much.
Captain Wu must have seen what happened in the county hospital yesterday. Although he didn't know who the elder Ye Qing mentioned was, the fact that the county hospital gave the green light was enough to show that the other party had an unusual background.
Captain Wu is not a fool. Ye Qing has such a powerful network of contacts. Maintaining it will be beneficial to the entire Kaoshan Village. Who knows, maybe it will come in handy one day.
So when Ye Qing asked for leave, the captain agreed without hesitation.
Having to walk several kilometers, Ye Qing couldn't help worrying about her small arms and legs. She really didn't want to walk, but there was no way. Her body was too short. Even if the captain had a 28-inch bicycle, she couldn't drive it. It was too big and her legs were too short to reach it.
Ye Qing went to the commune with a resentful look on her face. All the way, she kept thinking that she had to find a way to get a bicycle ticket. She must find a chance to go to the county or provincial capital to buy a women's bicycle. In the sparsely populated Northern Wilderness, the lack of transportation was really too difficult. It was a lot of effort to go from the commune to the town.
Arriving at the Hongqi Commune, Ye Qing took the certificate issued by the team leader and went in to ask someone about the phone call. But perhaps because she looked too childish, unfamiliar, and spoke with a southern accent, several officials in the commune were either eating melon seeds and chatting, or drinking tea and reading newspapers, and no one paid any attention to her.
Hey, I have a bad temper!
Ye Qing was so angry at the indifferent attitude of these office workers. She walked several kilometers to get to this commune and her legs were almost broken. Yet, these people had this attitude?
Looking at the five big words "Serve the People" hanging on the door of the office building, Ye Qing felt only irony.
These people are so confident, don't they really think she has no way to punish them?
Her eyes fell on a pile of red protective books on a clerk's table not far away. She suddenly remembered the red quotations she had frantically made up during this period of time since coming to this world. An idea suddenly came to her mind, and a trick immediately popped up in her mind.
Ignore me, right? OK, then today I will let you experience what it feels like to hit a brick wall!
So Ye Qing didn't bother to talk to these people anymore. She just walked to the front door, raised her head and stretched her neck, and began her performance:
"…Everyone has to die, some are heavier than Mount Tai, some are lighter than a feather."
"To die for the benefit of the people is heavier than Mount Tai; to work for the fascists, to die for those who exploit and oppress the people, is lighter than a feather..."
"Because we serve the people, if we have shortcomings, we are not afraid of criticism. It doesn't matter who points them out to us..."
Ye Qing raised his voice to the highest decibel, and standing in front of the steps was like standing on a world stage. The more he recited, the more fluent and proficient he became, and the more his voice became more and more passionate and rhythmic, attracting all the villagers who came to the commune to do business early in the morning.
Originally, the officials in the commune were a little disapproving when they saw Ye Qing standing at the door reciting quotations for no apparent reason. Some of them even looked at each other and whispered to each other, looking at Ye Qing as if he were a psychopath.
However, as more and more people gathered outside the door, many people who did not know what was going on began to ask what was going on.
There were a few members who happened to go in with Ye Qing to do some work, and they had just suffered the same cold treatment as Ye Qing. Seeing more and more onlookers, they immediately explained the reason to the people around them.
As a result, word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and soon the people gathered in the commune knew what was going on. Everyone looked inside the commune, and everyone's eyes were focused on those arrogant and conceited commune officials.
There were all kinds of emotions in the eyes of these people, including anger, condemnation, and long-standing grievances and gloating. In short, in the blink of an eye, these people became the fascist villains who oppressed and exploited the people in the leader's article that Ye Qing recited.
At this time, the officials realized that the situation was not good. They had no time to eat melon seeds or read newspapers. They quickly invited the ancestor from outside in.
But at this time, how easy is it to invite people in? Ye Qing was like a stubborn person, and he had to recite the whole article outside.
"We all come from all corners of the country and have come together for a common revolutionary goal. We must continue to follow this path with the majority of the people in the country..."
The more those officials listened, the paler their faces turned. They were terrified and at a loss. They were not fools, so how could they not know that Ye Qing's actions were hinting at them in a weird way?
The timid female clerk's eyes welled up with tears and she almost cried on the spot. She didn't know what to do at all.
At this time, a car stopped at the gate of the commune, and several people got out. Seeing so many people gathered at the gate, their faces suddenly darkened, and they walked forward and asked in a deep voice:
"What's going on?"
When the officials saw the newcomer, they rushed over as if they had seen a savior.
"Secretary, you are finally back."
Several staff members realized that they had offended a tough guy this time and quickly reported the situation to the secretary.
After hearing these officials' description of the situation, the secretary became furious and started to curse:
"Are you brainless? She called with proof that she was on official business, so why did you stop her from calling? Do you look down on ordinary farmers just because you are in the commune? You have only been cadres for a few days, but you are so proud that you have forgotten who you are. Can you still do this job? If not, get out of here!"
The commune secretary really didn't expect that when he just went to the county to pick up two reporters, these bastards who stayed behind would make such a big mess for him. What were they trying to do? Did they want to follow the path of capitalist reactionaries?
The secretary pointed his finger at these clueless clerks angrily and quickly walked forward to apologize to Ye Qing.
Who would have thought that before he could calm down this little girl who came from nowhere, he felt a flash of light from the side and a lady got out of the car, holding a camera in her hand and excitedly taking pictures of him and Ye Qing.
The commune secretary's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered that he went to the county this time to pick up two reporters for an interview in the countryside. The person holding the camera and taking pictures was the new news reporter from Jicheng Newspaper!
Not only did the female reporter take a photo of the commune secretary apologizing to Ye Qing face to face, she also took another photo of the crowd, and even took a photo of the plaque hanging at the gate of the Red Flag Commune.
After taking the photo, the female reporter put down her camera and applauded Ye Qing, praising him loudly:
"Little girl, you did the right thing! This speech is so powerful and very suitable for the occasion! We should be like this, open and honest, neither humble nor arrogant. We farmers should be upright and upright, so why should we stoop to be in awe of the powerful?"
"The leader's words are still fresh in our ears, but these people have completely forgotten their original intention and purpose of serving the people. A few small commune officials can look down on the vast majority of the people. Isn't this a step backward in history and thought?"
"I have taken photos of them. There are countless grassroots officials like this across the country. We should catch a few typical ones and expose them in the newspapers so that the people can have a good look at their ugly faces and serve as a warning to all the commune officials in the country!"
As she spoke, the female reporter walked straight up to Ye Qing, took off the press card hanging around her neck and handed it to Ye Qing, then asked with a warm smile:
"My name is Hang Tingfang, and I'm a reporter for the Jicheng Newspaper. Which production brigade are you from, young comrade? Would you mind telling me your name?"
Ye Qing: ...Oh, I'm done for. I was pretending to be smart and accidentally got out of control. The situation seems to be getting out of control.
Ye Qing was really confused at this moment.
Looking down at the female reporter's work badge, her expression froze. She pulled the corners of her mouth into an ugly smile and didn't know how to respond.
He was just being naughty for a moment and wanted to do something to scare people, but who knew that he would attract reporters from the newspaper.
Who could have imagined that there would be reporters lurking in such a corner of Hongqi Commune?
The key point is that journalists these days are not to be messed with. They are the mouthpieces of the media, and they can speak out against everything with their pens, and in serious cases, they can even kill people!
If today's incident really were reported in the newspaper, it would not be as simple as just a few criticisms. I don't know how many people in the entire Red Flag Commune would be in trouble. I'm afraid that the position of the commune secretary would be untenable.
Ye Qing just wanted to teach those unreliable clerks a lesson, but he never thought of making enemies with the entire Red Flag Commune.
Ye Qing broke out in a cold sweat when she thought about the chain reaction that this might trigger. So would it be too late for her to run away now?
After hearing what the reporter said, the commune secretary was so anxious that he almost cried.
He had not expected that this reporter from Jicheng would be so cunning. He started taking pictures right away and made a direct and impassioned speech, as if he wanted to set the tone of the matter on the spot.
If this incident was reported in the newspaper today as the reporter said, their Red Flag Commune would become famous throughout the country, and all the clerks present, including him, would be finished.
"Reporter Hang, listen to me. Today, it was indeed these young clerks who were wrong. They provided poor service and neglected this young comrade. I want them to apologize to this young comrade!"
"If they are still not satisfied, I can ask them to write an apology and make a profound self-examination."
"But regarding the matter of publishing in the newspaper, could you please think twice and let these clerks off?"
"Don't worry, they will definitely remember this lesson and never make such a mistake again..."
The commune secretary was very humble, with a bitter look on his face, and he almost knelt down in front of the female reporter.
Seeing this, Ye Qing also quickly responded: "Comrade reporter, you misunderstood. I didn't mean anything else. I just memorized this article recently and wanted to check whether I really remembered all the contents. Secretary, please check whether I memorized it correctly just now?"
This secretary was quite sensible. He immediately stepped down after being given a step:
"Very good, very good, you recited very well, with great passion and emotion. Young people should be as energetic as you, and this is the hope for our era!"
Seeing these two people facing a powerful enemy, with an attitude that the sky is about to fall, Hang Tingfang laughed and said cheerfully:
"Look at you, why are you so nervous? I was just joking. It is a great help to improve after admitting your mistakes. This is just a small matter, it is not worth our newspaper to give it a lot of space."
"But the girl is willing to ignore it, Secretary, you can't just ignore it. You should still criticize what should be criticized. 'Those who care about the people thrive, while those who turn their backs on the people lose their roots.' The voices of the people cannot be ignored. Only by strengthening your sense of service can you become good public servants that the country can trust and the people can be satisfied with."
The reporter had an especially warm smile on her face, but her words still made the secretary feel nervous.
Knowing that the reporter was trying to criticize him, the secretary dared not be careless and immediately asked the commune staff to apologize to Ye Qing sincerely, and then personally took Ye Qing into the office to make a phone call.
With the female reporter helping them, the other clerks no longer dared to show Ye Qing any face. They sat in their respective seats in silence, not daring to breathe, and obediently worked for the villagers outside, fearing that any mistake would be made and the female reporter would catch them doing something.
Ye Qing called the old comrade's number and it was transferred several times before the call was finally connected. Unfortunately, someone did answer the phone, but it should be the person on duty. After she introduced herself, the person on the other end told her that the old comrade would be away for the next few days and had gone to Jicheng for a meeting.
Well, it was a wasted trip. Ye Qing was at a loss and could only ask the person on duty to convey the message:
"Then please tell Grandpa that the operation was successful and thank him for his help with the hospital matters! I will call you again when Grandpa comes back!"
The call was quickly hung up, but Ye Qing was a little uninterested.
She even had a nightmare about this matter last night, and she walked to the commune early this morning to make the call, which even caused some twists and turns and attracted the attention of the reporters.
But after all the effort, Ye Qing still couldn't find the old comrade himself, which made her a little depressed. She always felt that the boot had not fallen yet, and she felt a little uneasy.
But no matter whether it was safe or not, she had already done the operation. The situation was urgent. If she didn't take action, Li Yunbo would probably die. If that happened, she would feel even more guilty.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing felt that there seemed to be nothing to regret or panic about. She always did things according to her heart, not dwelling on the past, not regretting the present, and not fearing the future. This was her code of conduct.
After calming down, she walked out of the commune.
After seeing Ye Qing come out, the commune secretary didn't ask any more questions. He smiled and sent him away, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving the commune, Ye Qing headed for the town. She had not forgotten the appointment she had made yesterday with Xu Xianzhen, the lady from the post office. The commune was close to the town, and since she was already here, she might as well go to the town to get the stamp album she had ordered.
As a result, she had not walked far when she heard a quarrel.
"Why can't I talk to you? Are you deaf or don't you understand what I'm saying? He has a broken bone. He needs to go to the county to get an X-ray and have the doctor put a plaster cast on it. I can't cure this!"
A young man in a white coat cursed angrily.
"Doctor, please take another look at the child. You can prescribe some medicine. I have never been to the county hospital. I don't know how to read road signs—"
An old lady was still begging, but she was pushed out by the doctor the next second. The old lady was holding her child and she staggered backwards.
If Ye Qing hadn't reacted quickly and pulled them aside, both the aunt and the child would have fallen to the ground.
The man in the white coat didn't think there was anything wrong with him at all. He snorted coldly and closed the door.
Only then did Ye Qing see that there was a sign hanging on the door with the words "Red Flag Commune Health Station" written on it.
OK, Ye Qing got it. This is the person Captain Wu mentioned who has no ability but no temper but has a lot of connections!
With such arrogance, it's no wonder that the farmers from several surrounding production brigades are complaining and full of anger.
I don't know if it's a characteristic of this era, but Ye Qing has learned something today. The people in this commune are all very arrogant and don't take anyone seriously.
"Auntie, are you okay?"
After Ye Qing helped the man up, he quickly asked.
The old lady shook her head, and the first person she went to check on was her little grandson in her arms.
The child was less than two years old and very skinny, but one of his elbows was swollen like a carrot, which looked abnormal.
The old lady hurried to thank Ye Qing. After knowing that there was no hope at the health station, she looked panic-stricken and confused, and it was obvious that she didn't know where to find help.
When Ye Qing saw this situation, he quickly reached out and touched the child's elbow.
When she touched me, she smiled and said:
"Auntie, don't be afraid. The child has no fracture, just a dislocation. The joint capsule is torn and the ligament soft tissue is damaged, so it is swollen like this."
"If you trust me, let me show it to your grandson, okay?"
The lady was stunned and looked at Ye Qing doubtfully:
"This... girl, are you okay?"
Ye Qing took out a silver needle from his bag with a smile:
"I'm a doctor too. Look, this is what I eat with. If not, can I carry this thing with me?"
Having said that, Ye Qing asked the aunt to hand the child to her. No one knew how Ye Qing coaxed the child, but the child did not cry and let her play with the swollen arm. Then, when the child was not paying attention, Ye Qing suddenly pulled the child's elbow. There was a click sound, and the arm returned to its place.
The old lady was startled and came to check the situation nervously.
Ye Qing smiled and comforted the old lady: "It's okay, it's just a bone correction, it doesn't hurt at all, you see the child isn't crying."
As he spoke, Ye Qing took out a few silver needles and stabbed them around the little boy's elbows in a flash.
She was so focused on treating the child that she didn't notice that there was a person following her quietly from the moment she walked out of the commune. When she squatted down to give the little boy an injection, the person slowly approached her step by step.
