"To the county town," Gu Nanxun replied as he rode his bicycle.
Lin Changyuan didn't speak. He seemed to know what Gu Nanxun was going to do in the county town. After a long pause, Lin Changyuan couldn't help but ask, "Are you confident?"
"There shouldn't be any problem. The other party is the director of the Revolutionary Committee. It shouldn't be a problem to transfer the people who have been sent down. Besides, my uncle's family was originally going to be assigned to Chaoyang Brigade anyway."
Upon hearing Lin Changyuan's question, Gu Nanxun replied that the person he was referring to was his father's subordinate. Because of the Red Guards' search of his home, his father had meticulously investigated the former director, dismissed him, and then went to great lengths to place his subordinate in this position. Before leaving, his father had told Gu Nanxun about this connection, but Gu Nanxun hadn't expected to need it so soon.
Thinking of this, Gu Nanxun couldn't help but recall the information he had seen in his space. In his original world, there was no Revolutionary Committee at this time. The Revolutionary Committee was established in February 1967, meaning the Ge Committee wouldn't be established until next year. Perhaps it was a parallel world! There were still some slight differences in history.
Upon hearing Gu Nanxun say that the other party was the director of the Revolutionary Committee, Lin Changyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that his brother-in-law was quite remarkable. Just now, as soon as his brother-in-law went on stage, the brigade leader quickly rang the bell. Now, hearing his brother-in-law say that he knew the director of the Revolutionary Committee, Lin Changyuan had to look at Gu Nanxun with new respect.
When the two arrived in the county town, it was already slightly bright. However, it was still early, so Gu Nanxun led Lin Changyuan to the entrance of the state-run restaurant.
"Second Brother, let's wait here for a while! We'll go over after we've had breakfast."
"Okay!" Lin Changyuan agreed to Gu Nanxun's suggestion, and the two found a place to sit down.
"Second brother, wait here while I go to the outhouse."
After settling Lin Changyuan in, Gu Nanxun said to Lin Changyuan that he needed to go into the space to check on things, since Qingqing must be extremely worried about him not returning all night.
At this moment, Lin Qing was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) in the room waiting for Gu Nanxun. In her drowsy state, she sensed movement in the space and, on a whim, entered the space.
As soon as Lin Qing entered the space, she fell into Gu Nanxun's arms. After tossing and turning all night, she finally felt at ease at this moment.
"Nanxun, how is it? Why haven't you come back yet?" Lin Qing asked, nestled in Gu Nanxun's arms.
"It's all over now. He suffered some minor injuries, but we've already applied medicine and bandaged him up. Your second brother and I are in the county town now. I'm going to use some connections to see if we can get your uncle's family transferred back to Chaoyang Brigade."
Gu Nanxun carried Lin Qing to the bed, gently patting her back as he said, "It's alright now, Qingqing, go to sleep. Don't wait for me, we'll be back as soon as we're done."
"Okay, Nanxun, be careful." Lin Qing reached out and hugged Gu Nanxun, then kissed him on the cheek.
"Okay, I'll go out first then. You can continue sleeping." After saying that, Gu Nanxun left the space.
After seeing Gu Nanxun leave, Lin Qing finally felt relieved and fell asleep. Ever since she became pregnant, Lin Qing had been particularly sleepy. Today, she hadn't been able to sleep because she was worried about Gu Nanxun. But now that she saw Gu Nanxun, sleepiness instantly overwhelmed her.
After Gu Nanxun returned, he and Lin Changyuan waited until the state-run restaurant opened. They had breakfast there before heading to the Revolutionary Committee.
"Halt! This is the Revolutionary Committee. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach."
Before Gu Nanxun and Lin Changyuan could even enter the Revolutionary Committee, they were stopped by a young man.
"I'm looking for your Director Liu. Please help me pass on this message."
Gu Nanxun looked at the young man who had stopped him and said.
"Looking for our Director Liu? You think you can just see Director Liu whenever you want? Hurry up and go somewhere cool, or don't blame me for being impolite."
When the young man saw Gu Nanxun say he was looking for Director Liu, he looked Gu Nanxun up and down and reached out to push him away.
Lin Changyuan reached out and stopped the young man who was about to push Gu Nanxun. "We have important business with Director Liu. Are you sure you don't want to inform him? If this delays things, can you take responsibility?"
"Just tell me what's going on, and I'll listen and see if I need to report to Director Liu. You know, not everything needs to be reported to Director Liu."
Upon hearing Lin Changyuan's words, the young man wondered to himself, "What if something really happened?" He then replied...
"There are some things that are inconvenient to tell you, you can only tell Director Liu."
Lin Changyuan glanced at Gu Nanxun and then said.
"Get out of here right now. What can't you tell me but only Director Liu? I think you're just here to cause trouble. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being impolite."
When the young man heard Lin Changyuan say that he couldn't tell him, but only Director Liu, he instantly realized that the two people in front of him were there to cause trouble.
"Director Liu is my uncle, are you sure you don't want me to go in?"
Gu Nanxun shook his head helplessly as he looked at the young man in front of him.
"Hahaha... What are you talking about! Director Liu is from Beijing. Just by listening to your accent, I can tell you're a local. How could Director Liu be your uncle?"
The young man was initially a little apprehensive, but upon hearing Gu Nanxun's words, he instantly lost his fear.
“Go tell Director Liu that Gu Nanxun is looking for him, it’s just a matter of a word. If you don’t pass on the message for me, and if I’m related to Director Liu, you’ll have to bear the consequences yourself when he blames you. You’re a smart person, are you sure you want to take the risk for a single sentence?”
"You wait here. If you dare to lie to me, don't blame me for being ruthless..."
Hearing Gu Nanxun's words, the young man's heart skipped a beat. He thought about it and realized that Gu Nanxun was right. It's better to be safe than sorry. However, if these two people dared to lie to him, he would let them know what fear was.
"Director Liu, there are two people downstairs looking for you. One of them said his name is Gu Nanxun and that he is your relative."
"My relatives? I don't have any relatives here! Wait, who are you talking about? Gu Nanxun?"
