Xu Zhenting had been seething with anger all day.
After staking out the area for several days, we finally caught him red-handed.
result!
He had long realized that the entire village had been unknowingly and relentlessly eroded by the evil capitalist atmosphere.
Driven by selfish motives, the villagers actually gathered together to prevent him from waving his red peaked cap!
This kind of thing doesn't really matter to him, but what matters is that this life-threatening label can be firmly pinned on Lin Mo's head!
Chen Gang's idea was very simple—
We also secretly went to collect the pine cones that had fallen from the pine trees.
The village chief really did pay us one yuan per kilogram.
Even though I'm the production team leader, my total income throughout the year is only thirty or fifty yuan more than that of the other villagers.
They were so poor that their pants had holes in the crotch.
He's burying his head in the sand because his heart is wavering and uncertain; the conflict between duty and personal survival has become increasingly acute.
Adding to the previous incident, the villagers all misunderstood that he was the one who reported it to the county.
It's impossible to explain myself.
If he were to cause a major commotion again, following the county's lead, the villagers would only roll their eyes at him now.
If he ruins the village's only way to make money from the pine trees, wouldn't the villagers throw clods at him?
"Can you please stop making a scene? What kind of village are we in...?"
"You can ignore it if you want!" Xu Zhenting shouted before Chen Gang could finish speaking, as if reprimanding him.
"I'm going to the county right now! Just wait!"
Chen Gang felt extremely suffocated, a feeling that had been building up for a long time. He took a deep breath in an attempt to suppress it.
But when that deep breath was exhaled, it led to a complete breakdown:
"Xu Zhenting! Are you the captain or am I the captain?!"
"That's how your uncle raised you! You have no respect for your superiors!"
"I think you've forgotten who you are!"
"You're just a sent-down youth! A sent-down youth who went to the countryside! You must obey my arrangements!"
Xu Zhenting never expected that he would become so used to being tough that he had truly forgotten who he was.
No, I haven't forgotten.
Xu Zhenting, who was briefly stunned by surprise, slowly returned to his face with a meaningful smile:
"What's my identity?"
“You educated youth who went to the countryside! I’m telling you again! You’ve overstepped your bounds!” Chen Gang tried to suppress him with his rage.
However, Xu Zhenting smiled and abruptly rejected the idea:
"Wrong, I am the head of the resource zoning station and a member of the Revolutionary Committee. I am Liu Ming's nephew."
As he spoke, Xu Zhenting stood up straight with a smile and an arrogant air, looking down at Chen Gang, the dominant position gradually shifting back to him:
“Revolutionary Committee, we can take your lives if you decide to protect criminals who seriously disrupt the economic order.”
After saying that, Xu Zhenting gave Chen Gang a few more seconds to react.
If... he would immediately turn around and head to the county.
Chen Gang managed to stand his ground for a few seconds, but eventually gave in.
...
"Wow, Lin Mo, how did you get this?"
"It smells so good, Lin Mo. What are you cooking right now? It smells amazing."
Outside Lin Mo's house.
Ever since Lin Mo publicly brought out the color TV, sharp-eyed villagers immediately spotted this novel gadget.
Lin Gangtie, who was about to go into the mountains to pick a few more sacks of camphor and pine cones to take home, was also attracted by the novelty and couldn't move. He turned around and headed towards Lin Mo's house.
Gradually, more than twenty people gathered here.
Lin Mo smiled and responded to the villagers while adjusting the color TV:
"This is a color TV. The department store in the county only has this one. I figured there's no entertainment in the village, so I brought one back to entertain everyone."
"Oh, this is great, great, great!" Lin Gangtie was so happy that he put down his carrying pole and decided not to go into the mountains today, since it was already getting dark and going into the mountains would be dangerous.
Old Zhu squatted down beside it, his eyes fixed on the color TV screen.
The color TV is already connected to the power supply, and the voltage is very stable.
The screen would sometimes light up with flashes of white static, and sometimes with gray static, accompanied by a hissing sound.
After pressing the button a few times to change the channel, the screen transformed into a large, colorful sphere composed of strips of various colors, displaying the current time as a little after 7 p.m.
The colors alone were enough to amaze the villagers.
"This thing is great! It can even tell time, but it must consume a lot of electricity, right?"
Old Zhu was thinking of going home and taking his wife, who was in so much pain that she could only stay in bed all day, out on a cart so she could look at some new and interesting things and maybe that would distract her.
"Qingsong, could you adjust that pot lid? Change its orientation!"
Lin Mo was searching for the TV station below, while Miao Qingsong was holding the aluminum pot lid on the roof of the bungalow.
It was getting colder and colder. As soon as it got dark, the cold wind howled in waves, making Miao Qingsong shiver all over.
"Is it ready? Is it facing upwards or tilted? Help us put a few bricks up to support it!"
The two of them fiddled with it for a few minutes.
finally--
The logo of "Capital Television" is clearly visible!
On the screen, a handsome man in a Zhongshan suit is making a proper announcement.
"It has been ten months since our beloved General Zhou left us, but the people who deeply loved him still spontaneously gather in the capital to mourn our beloved General Zhou..."
"What?! President Zhou has passed away?!"
The screen lit up with a shocking message that left the villagers utterly stunned.
Lin Mo was also surprised for a while. Oh right, President Zhou passed away this year.
