Everyone stretched their necks to look into the wooden box, and even Wen Sihe couldn't help but stand on tiptoe.
Lu Zhiye laughed silently, and fearing that she couldn't see clearly, he turned sideways to make some space for her.
He then slightly stretched out his hand and wrapped it around her waist to prevent others from bumping into her.
The man with a pointed chin and monkey face opened the box and saw clearly that there was a book standing next to the radio. He was overjoyed.
He quickly formed a pair of scissors with his two fingers and picked up the book.
When she laid the book flat and could see the words clearly, her face trembled and even the matchmaker mole at the corner of her mouth shook a little.
But the bearded man thought he had a sure win, and squinted his eyes and said to his younger brother, "Read it out to Captain Lu to see if this banned book is worth being criticized and educated."
In front of so many people, the man with the pointed chin and monkey cheeks had his eyelids twitching so much, but the bearded man refused to even look at him.
The little brothers behind him were dumber than each other and thought that he was so excited that his eyelids were twitching.
They all hurriedly urged: "Let everyone take a look and see if we should take it away."
"That's right, you should be more careful when you marry next time."
Many people in the village were illiterate. When they saw that there was indeed a book in the wooden box, they all believed what the bearded man had said.
Only Captain Lu, who had stretched his neck to read a book, felt relieved.
Wen Sihe also saw the contents on the book cover clearly, and his eyebrows curved slightly.
Listening to the urging of the people around him, the man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks forced himself to open the book and read: "What is the most valuable thing in the world? The works of brilliant leaders.
What is the most shining thing in the world is the thoughts of great leaders............."
The sharp-nosed monkey became more and more excited as he read. Even the villagers around him were infected by his powerful voice and felt a surge of warmth in their hearts.
Captain Lu even raised his arms and called out: "Let the great red flag of the leaders' thoughts fly forever for thousands of years."
The bearded man finally realized something was wrong. Why did these words sound more and more familiar? When he realized that this was the propaganda slogan that everyone usually recited in meetings,
He waved his hands and opened his voice to yell at the pointed-faced man to shut up.
Not to mention that his voice was drowned out by the uniform shouts of the people around him.
Even the sharp-nosed monkey's passionate and inability to stop at this moment made the bearded man's forehead twitch.
Wen Sihe followed the crowd in cheering, and her little hands also quietly pinched Lu Zhiye's waist.
Looking at the playful look of the little woman beside him, Lu Zhiye shook his head and laughed.
After shouting for nearly half an hour, Captain Lu felt his throat was smoking. He ran to the large vat in the kitchen, scooped a bowl of water, and gulped it down.
He ran into the house in a hurry again.
After the sharp-nosed monkey's passion, his gaze finally fell on the fat man with a big beard and a livid face.
He shuddered subconsciously and quickly put down the book in his hand.
Without anyone leading them, the villagers fell silent.
Lu Zhiye looked directly at the bearded man and said, "Captain, I wonder who said that you should take this book away?
If the leaders' propaganda quotations were all banned books, then I'm afraid everyone would be criticized and educated.
Or in your mind, is this book a banned book?
Do you still have reactionary ideas in your heart and want to undermine our people's trust in their leaders?"
His feigned frightened expression and increasingly loud voice made the bearded man tremble like a sieve and his face turn pale.
If it were just the villagers, he could just threaten them a few times and the matter would be over.
But a lot of educated youth had just come in. As far as he knew, many of the educated youth in Dahe Village had backgrounds.
If these people send a letter home, his life will be over.
The bearded man immediately looked at Lu Zhiye and Wen Sihe with a smile on his face and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding..."
Before he could finish his words, Wen Sihe said with a smirk, "Brother Shijie, after being in the countryside for so long, I have finally seen a lot.
These members of the Revolutionary Committee not only failed to implement the leaders' orders, but also believed that the leaders' propaganda quotations were banned books.
You must have a good talk with Grandpa Fang about this matter."
The bearded man turned his head stiffly and looked at Fang Shijie's expression of approval, and then he felt a black screen before his eyes.
Fang Shijie! This is the person his brother-in-law had warned him not to mess with.
If I had known that this young wife had an affair with Fang Shijie, I would never have dared to interfere in this matter.
Lu Zhiye raised his eyes to look at the other people who looked ashen, and said coldly: "If you have anything to say, go and talk to your superiors."
Before the bearded man could figure out why he said these words, he heard a noise coming from the yard.
The commune leader, Secretary Wang, along with the director and deputy director of the county revolutionary committee, came in.
The bearded man's legs went weak and he rolled out.
Earlier, when Lu Zhiye saw clearly at the door the disgusting look the bearded man gave Wen Sihe, he wished he could dig out those eyes and feed them to the dogs.
He told Da Niu standing beside him to go to the commune's agricultural machinery station to find Lu Yuanshan.
He quickly wrote a few lines and stuffed them into Daniu's pocket.
Da Niu was carried on Lu Yong's bicycle to find Lu Yuanshan crying and howling.
When Secretary Wang received an anonymous phone call reporting that some people in Dahe Village were reactionaries and dissatisfied with Chairman Mao's leadership.
He was shocked. On the one hand, he and Captain Lu had been getting along well for some time, but he couldn't bear to see such a big thing happen in their village.
On the other hand, there was news that the governor of Heilongjiang Province would come to their county for inspection in a while.
Nothing can go wrong during this critical period.
Secretary Wang immediately called the director of the county revolutionary committee.
Soon a group of people got in a car and hurried towards Dahe Village.
Captain Lu also hurried over.
Secretary Wang asked with a fierce look on his face: "What's going on?"
Captain Lu told the whole story in detail.
When I heard the bearded man say that the leader's propaganda quotations were a banned book, all those who read it would be criticized and educated.
The deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee staggered, his face full of disbelief, and he looked in the direction of the bearded man.
When I saw the gloomy look on the bearded man's face, I felt as if thunder was rumbling in the sky.
The bearded man wept bitterly and crawled to the feet of the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee: "Brother-in-law, it's not like that.
I originally thought that the wooden box was a banned book, so I said those words. Someone reported it to me, so I came to check it out."
In front of so many people, the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee kicked his legs several times with a stiff face, but failed to kick the bearded man away.
He was sweating profusely, and looked at the director of the Revolutionary Committee with tears in his eyes: "Director, Director, please listen to me."
The director of the Revolutionary Committee smiled and said, "Oh? What are you talking about! The bearded man is your brother-in-law. If he has such thoughts, it seems that the deputy director's thoughts are not clean either."
The director of the Revolutionary Committee was feeling very nervous in his heart: God has eyes, this deputy director has been trying to trip him up, and now he finally got his chance.
