Everyone was very satisfied with the pig-killing meal, after all, it was Li Jinhua's cooking.
Finally, they were even more satisfied when they brought the wild boar meat home. Each person had a cut, and each cut weighed two pounds. When leaving, they did not forget to tell them that if they needed anything, they could find them to go to the educated youth site together.
In less than a day, the news spread throughout the village.
Pei Qing had just killed a wild boar and was exhausted after the fight, so he was secretly attacked by an educated youth and had his stomach slashed.
The injury was extremely serious, and it was said that his intestines were all over the floor. Fortunately, the barefoot doctor was very skilled, otherwise the person would have never been saved.
A curious woman went to the barefoot doctor to verify it, but the barefoot doctor dared not admit it. He shook his head guiltily and said, "No, how can I save a person whose intestines are all over the floor? The wound is quite big and he lost a lot of blood. I got a few stitches, but it's not that serious."
He modestly denied it.
But he underestimated the villagers' ability to pass on messages. From one person to another, the message became completely distorted.
The woman who asked at the beginning couldn't help but doubt: Is this really the truth? I can't remember clearly, so they said it was true!
So they continued to join the discussion enthusiastically, and the news became more and more intense.
"Hey, Mr. Li, have you heard about that?"
"I heard about it. How could those educated youth be so cruel? It was an educated youth who instigated Zhang Tianci to do the previous expedition to capture his wife. But this time, they just did it themselves."
"Well, in the mountains, there are no other helpers. They saw our villagers killed the wild boar and got jealous. Qing Gang didn't want the wild boar, and gave it all to his brothers in the house. If I had known earlier, I would have asked my family to go find someone as well."
"You know you need to help now? It's too late. Hey, what did I say before? Yuan Zheng in their family is a promising man. All the brothers who follow him are good enough."
As they were chatting, someone turned around and started talking about Pei Qinggang's injury.
"Someone asked the barefoot doctor, and he said that the whiteness of his face was like refined flour, because he was bleeding too much. He also needed many stitches on the wound on his stomach, and he said that if he didn't get them done, his intestines would have come out."
"Why did I hear that his intestines were all over the floor?"
"You haven't had any discharge today, right? That's what the barefoot doctor told me before. I'm sure he said it didn't come out, and it was sewed back by the barefoot doctor."
"The barefoot doctor in our village is quite capable, but I don't know how to deal with that educated youth. He dared to kill people. It's too terrible to keep him in the village."
"That's right, I'm just afraid that the family has a strong background and can't handle it. How dangerous will it be for us then?"
The villagers were talking about it. By the evening, Pei Qingshan had not returned yet. A group of people got off work, and those who were more active went to stay in the team.
Liu Ping saw that there were always people looking around, so she went out and asked them what they were looking at.
"We are looking at the team leader. Didn't he go to the commune? The Youth Office should give us an explanation. Those educated youth are too dangerous. It was fine that they couldn't work and ate our food before. Later, they made trouble all day long and we just watched them for fun. Now they want to kill people."
"That's right, why don't we just let them go back to where they came from? Why are they staying here with us? They can't even earn enough to feed themselves, so we don't want to support them."
"If the educated youth had been registered here for a long time, wouldn't they have been here long ago? If the male educated youth could marry a local wife and the female educated youth could marry a local man, we would be more willing to support them, right?"
Liu Ping was so angry that she started to laugh. She pointed at the group of people who were just watching the fun and began to lecture them. "It was a great man who proposed that educated youth go to the countryside to support construction. If you have the guts, please say it in front of the great man! Why are you all showing off in front of me?"
"Since the captain has gone to look for him, he will definitely bring back an explanation. Why do you need to get involved?"
"It's normal for some educated youth to be weak and not earn work points. Most of them have subsidies from their relatives in the city. Do you need to support them with just one work point? What's wrong with you?"
"You despise her, but you also want to lure her back home. How dare you, Li Shitou, Zhang Jianye, Zhang Jianhua, Zhang Jianxiong? Tomorrow I will go and see how many work points you have earned in a day to see if it is enough to pay the gift to the educated youth from the city. How dare you question her work skills here?"
Under Liu Ping's fierce actions and words, the group of men who were eager to join in the fun finally dispersed and went back to have dinner.
There is nothing else to do every day except going to work and coming home. How can they be asked to do this if they don't have some fun in their days?
Liu Ping was also worried. In the past, when there were problems with the educated youth, they had gone to the educated youth office, but each time the matter was turned into a small one. In short, the educated youth had been handed over to the village, and they could not let anything happen to them.
No matter how much, they don’t care.
When it was getting dark, Pei Qingshan came back and brought back a man with him. He had a square face, wore a pair of metal-framed glasses, was dressed very simply, and there were two clean sacks hanging on the back seat of his bicycle.
Pei Qingshan came back with him on a bicycle. He first arrived at the team and unloaded a sack.
"Comrade Pei Qingshan, this is a reward for your team. Let's go to Ruan Niannian's home to visit her first, and then go to see the injured Comrade Pei Qinggang later." The man spoke in a serious and businesslike manner.
This is the commune secretary.
Pei Qingshan went to the Youth Office today, but no one paid any attention to him. Someone even said, "It was almost a fatality? Comrade Pei Qingshan, if nothing happened, forget it. Your brigade is always a popular brigade for the Flowing Red Flag every year. Do you know that any incident will affect your brigade's Flowing Red Flag? Forget it, it's not like no one was killed, right?"
He argued that this was not a matter of the Mobile Red Flag and it was impossible to make a big deal out of it when something happened to the educated youth. It was impossible to make a big deal out of a small matter when something happened to someone in the brigade for the educated youth.
In the end, they neither said they would handle it nor said they would not handle it. They just kept dragging it on, pretending to be busy with this, then pretending to be busy with that. When it was time to get off work, they would pack up and ask Pei Qingshan to come back tomorrow.
Pei Qingshan had no choice but to go find the commune secretary, but the secretary had gone to the county town for a meeting. The commune officials said that if the secretary was late for the meeting, he might not come back, so they asked him to go tomorrow.
When he was about to leave, he met the secretary coming back on a bicycle.
When he told the secretary about the matter, the secretary said that it had to be taken care of. If it was allowed to continue, it would affect the unity between the educated youth and the villagers, so it had to be properly resolved. Besides, the secretary had heard of Pei Qinggang's name, as Pei Qinggang had contributed a lot when there was chaos in the commune a while ago.
The secretary’s evaluation: He is a real man.
So the secretary only thought about it for a while before deciding to go to the brigade with Pei Qingshan. Now that they knew about it, today's problems had to be solved today and could not be delayed until tomorrow.
Before leaving, the secretary packed two large sacks of things and said, "This is the reward from the commune for your efforts to build a school. One is for the team members, and the other is for Comrade Ruan Niannian and Comrade Pei Jianhui."
