Chapter 440: Favor



"Don't worry, it's been handled long ago." Captain Sun grinned, "Actually, you didn't have to come. Someone from the county just came to inform me."

Li Xu nodded, then warned, "Granduncle, you have to be mentally prepared. This movement won't end anytime soon. It's normal for it to last for several years. You must not let your guard down, lest someone catch you."

Upon hearing the time, Captain Sun's smile instantly vanished. He then revealed a look of astonishment and asked, "Will the experiment last that long in our county?"

Li Xu sighed, "It's called a pilot program, but it will actually be rolled out nationwide soon."

No one expected that this was just the beginning. A few years later, this movement was seamlessly replaced by another, even bigger movement...

Knowing that he was well-informed, Captain Sun had no doubt about the truth of his words. He pondered for a while before speaking, "I understand. I will control my people."

"Just keep it in mind. I'm leaving now. I have other things to do."

After saying that, Li Xu turned around and left.

After pushing the car from Old Lady Sun's house, he did not return to the county town, but went to Qinghe Brigade.

When he arrived at the place, he first found his second uncle Li Jiafu, and then the two of them went to look for the captain here together.

When Captain Yu learned that the two men had something to ask him, he jokingly asked, "Who are you two uncles planning to transfer your household registration to this time?"

Seeing that he was still in the mood to joke, Li Xu knew that the people from the county had not arrived yet, so he quickly told them what had happened and asked them to find someone to handle these matters as soon as possible.

Captain Yu has a pretty good relationship with the Li family. He usually takes good care of Mr. Li and his family. He was also the officiant of Li Qiang's wedding three years ago.

Li Xu came here this time to do a favor, after all, Li Jiafu and the others still live here.

As for whether he can handle things well, it depends on his luck.

After hearing this, Captain Yu didn't make any move. Instead, he looked suspicious. "I'm already quite old, not much younger than your grandfather. I can't stand being deceived."

Li Xu was a little embarrassed, "I'm not lying to you. The county sent people to the countryside to inform you about this matter. I was afraid they would be late, so I rushed here specially."

Captain Yu couldn't sit still any longer after hearing this. He hurriedly said, "Li Laoer, quickly call all the team leaders to the brigade headquarters and tell them I need help. Li, I'll remember this favor. I'm busy here, so I won't talk to you anymore. I'll thank you again after this is over."

As soon as he finished speaking, he left quickly. Li Jiakang and Li Xu did the same after they said something.

Li Xu stood there and smiled, then rode his bike back to the county town.

On the other hand.

The faces of Sun Xiu and his wife and Yang Li from the hemp spinning factory were extremely ugly.

It's nothing else. The county leaders just held a meeting with them, telling them what they can and cannot do in the next period of time, including the rule that it is best not to hold lavish weddings and funerals.

How can they be happy about this?

After a long silence, Sun Xiu asked, "Sister Yang, Xiaofeng is getting married tomorrow. What are you planning on doing?"

"I'll ask for leave later and go back to discuss this with my family."

"Okay, if there are any changes, tell me."

Yang Li nodded and was about to speak when some people who were on good terms with her gathered around her and asked in a flurry whether they could attend Du Feng's wedding tomorrow.

She had no choice but to swallow what she wanted to say and said, "As long as I don't tell you not to go, then it's normal."

Hearing this, Sun Xiu's face changed, and she quickly added, "If tomorrow's wedding goes on as usual, don't tell anyone about this, understand?"

She was worried that these people would tell outsiders about this.

If others hear this and think that the Du family is defying the law, then there will be trouble.

Someone wondered, "Sister Yang's family is planning a grand celebration. Even if we don't tell anyone, how can others not see it?"

Yang Li finally reacted and said through gritted teeth, "It's different now. If we want to do it, we won't do it so ostentatiously. The fewer people who know about it, the better."

Everyone understood what she meant and agreed, saying that they would not tell anyone else.

Then Yang Li chatted with everyone for a few more words before hurriedly asking for leave.

When she returned home, she found that Du Ming had also returned.

When she learned that Li Xu had already told Du Lin and others about this matter in advance and had also worked out a rough plan, she breathed a sigh of relief.

This is because Li Xu set a standard so that the Du family would not be too embarrassed.

In this way, everyone in the Du family took out the plan and discussed its contents one by one, and then deleted and reduced them. It took a long time to form a plan that satisfied everyone.

They felt that doing so would be much safer.

Immediately afterwards, Du Ming and Du Feng rode their bicycles towards the Xiawan Brigade.

They also had to inform Li Qingxi's family about this matter to avoid any misunderstandings.

night.

After dinner, the Li family was discussing Li Xu's marriage when Sun Xiu asked with anticipation, "Xiao Xu, can your marriage be arranged like Xiao Feng's?"

"No, the reason why Brother Feng can do it secretly is not only because the commissioner has not arrived in our county yet, but also because there is a soldier named Du Lin in his family." Li Xu explained helplessly.

He didn't expect that even after all this, everyone still wanted to give him a grand wedding.

However, this may also be because he told everyone about Du Feng's situation, which made everyone feel that there was a glimmer of hope.

"Maybe by the time you get married, the commissioner will have already left. Besides, although we don't have any soldiers in our family, we have your sister, a college student. That's not a big deal, right?"

Li Xu was a bit amused and explained, "It's different. People respect soldiers, but they admire college students more. And let me tell you the truth, if the commissioner leaves Tang County, it will be the time for the Socialist Education Movement to be promoted nationwide. Do you think we can do that?"

"Huh?" Everyone was shocked. "Promote nationwide? Why not just stop the movement?"

"This time they say they're using our county as a pilot, but in reality, the top leaders have already made plans to roll out the Socialist Education Movement nationwide, and there's no way they're stopping.

Uncle Liu also told me that if I couldn't persuade you, he would come and persuade you. Do you think he would say such a thing if he had no other choice?"

Li Ping and his companions looked at each other, knowing that there was no hope at all.

Then Sun Xiu showed a regretful expression, "It's all my fault. If I had let you two get married earlier, this wouldn't have happened."

Li Xu immediately laughed and persuaded her, "Mom, you don't need to blame yourself. No one would have thought that this would happen. Besides, you are doing this for my own good."
