The few of them said nothing more and turned their gaze to the front of the crowd.
The village chief gave some official remarks at the beginning, and then came the main event that everyone was paying attention to.
"This time, several comrades worked very hard to check the accounts. They checked for five consecutive days before they finally settled all the accounts for this year."
"We found that not only was the work points unfair, but the accounts were also a mess and the accounts were in disarray."
"Comrade Zhou Xingxue has indeed engaged in favoritism and abuse of power for personal gain. The village has decided to remove her from her position as scorekeeper starting today. At the same time, because the impact of this matter is too great, we will hand Zhou Xingxue over to the public security department for handling."
The crowd went wild with the village chief's series of speeches.
Zhou Xingxue was standing next to Zhou Jianguo.
Zhou Jianguo's old face turned red, but he stood there motionless.
But Zhou Xingxue was not so calm. She turned her eyes to Zhou Jianguo for help, raised her hand to grab Zhou Jianguo's sleeve, and said aggrievedly: "Dad, please help me say something. If the village chief uncle hands me over to the police, my life will be ruined."
...
...
Seeing that Zhou Jianguo was unmoved, Zhou Xingxue's face immediately changed, and she collapsed and roared: "If you don't help me, I will go to my grandma. If she knew you treated me like this, she would definitely..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhou Jianguo slapped Zhou Xingxue on the face with a "slap" sound. "You did something bad yourself, but you still don't repent. Is that what I taught you in the past?"
The police arrived much earlier than expected, and they took Zhou Xingxue away before everyone dispersed to go to work.
With the assurances from the village chief and Zhou Jianguo, no one pursued the matter any further.
As soon as the police car left, Old Lady Zhou rushed over.
She looked around but didn't see Zhou Xingxue, so she asked Zhou Jianguo loudly, "Where's Xiaoxue?"
Zhou Jianguo did not answer.
There were many people in the crowd who liked to watch the fun. Someone deliberately said loudly, "The person has been taken away by the police a long time ago. I'm afraid he won't be back for a while."
"Is what they said true?" Old Mrs. Zhou asked Zhou Jianguo again with a blank expression.
Zhou Jianguo closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate and nodded heavily.
The next moment, the cane in Old Lady Zhou's hand fell on Zhou Jianguo's back, "Is this how you act as a father? Your own daughter has been arrested, and you can still stand here? Why don't you hurry up and bring Xiaoxue back to me?"
Zhou Jianguo was also furious. Before Mrs. Zhou's cane could fall again, he grabbed it and said expressionlessly, "She is no longer a baby. She should be responsible for her actions. Since she did something wrong, she should be punished."
"What punishment? I only know that she is my precious granddaughter. If you don't feel sorry for her, I do. If you don't go, I, the old woman, will go!" Old Mrs. Zhou said, pulling the crutch from Zhou Jianguo's hand, turning around and preparing to chase the police car.
Zhou Jianguo could no longer bear it and roared, "Look at how you have spoiled the child. You still want to make trouble? Do you want to see me, the captain, give up my position to someone else?"
This was the first time that Old Lady Zhou heard her son speak to her like this. She was shocked, but also frightened by his words "give it to others".
Old Mrs. Zhou snorted coldly, said nothing more, turned around and went home.
…
Time always passes quickly. Before I knew it, the time Song Shishi and Director Zhao had agreed to go to Beijing had arrived.
She heard that Zhou Xingxue was detained, but she didn't know how long she would be detained.
According to Song Shishi's expectation, Zhou Xingxue did such an excessive thing, why was he not sentenced?
But she was not familiar with the law in this area, so she was not clear about the details.
Anyway, after Zhou Xingxue was arrested, Zhou Jianguo went to Qinghe Town almost every day.
In just a few days, Zhou Jianguo's hair turned white.
In addition, the villagers were already familiar with greenhouse cultivation, so when she explained the situation to Zhou Jianguo, Zhou Jianguo praised her, saying, "Comrade Xiao Song, you are so outstanding. You are the pride of our Huaiqing Brigade."
"No, you're too kind. But I'm not sure how long I'll stay this time."
"It's okay, just go ahead. I received the certificate sent by the library a few days ago. Chen Hui, Zhang Qingmei, and my son Jin Bao have been studying with you for such a long time. They should be able to solve the problems encountered in greenhouse cultivation."
When Song Shishi began to take on the task of guiding everyone in greenhouse planting, Zhou Jianguo asked Chen Hui, Zhang Qingmei, and Zhou Jinbao to follow her and learn.
Over the past month, the weather has continued to change, and many of the problems they encountered were solved by the four of them together.
So when Zhou Jianguo said this, Song Shishi also agreed.
This time when she returned to Beijing, she brought more than two sets of clothes. After all, she could buy clothes in Beijing, and she had them at home.
To save trouble, she didn't bring anything else.
The bicycle was naturally left to Xu Li.
When she first started teaching Xu Li to ride a bike, she was so exhausted.
Later, seeing that Shi Tou was following her all the time, she simply stood by and corrected Xu Li's incorrect posture. As for the physical work, she let Shi Tou do it all.
Stone also enjoys this.
After arriving in town on Uncle Zhang's ox cart, Song Shishi did not rush to the library, but went to the supply and marketing cooperative first.
I haven't been home for such a long time, it would be bad to go back empty-handed.
She bought Zheng Peilan's favorite red scarf and a pair of leather gloves for Song Zhenhua.
The cakes that Zheng Peilan liked and the wine that Song Zhenhua liked were not sold in Qinghe Town, so she planned to go back to Beijing to buy them.
When she appeared at the door of the library carrying a lot of bags, Director Zhao looked at her and laughed.
"Are you going home or visiting relatives?"
When Director Zhao joked, she felt a little embarrassed.
"This is the first time I've used my own money to buy gifts for my parents since I was a child. I haven't seen them for a while, so I have to make them happy."
Director Zhao nodded repeatedly when he heard this. "Your parents must be very happy that you can go back."
On the way to the train station, Director Zhao reminded me, "It will probably be tomorrow morning before we get to Beijing. The leader has to attend a meeting tomorrow morning, so I'll take you home first and pick you up in the afternoon."
Looking at the thick briefcase in Director Zhao's hand, it was estimated that he had something to do during his trip to Beijing, and not just to send her to Beijing to take the assessment.
So she said sympathetically, "No, just go and do what you want. When I get to the station, I can just call my family to pick me up."
Director Zhao glanced at her and saw that she didn't seem to be just being polite. Besides, he did have something to do in the afternoon, so he nodded in agreement.
In order to prevent Director Zhao from being unable to contact her at that time, she also left her home landline phone number with Director Zhao.
On the train, Director Zhao took good care of her.
Director Zhao also bought the train ticket, saying that it was calculated as a business trip and would be included in public expenses.
There are a lot of people on the train. Even if you want to get up and go to the bathroom, you have to ask someone you know to help you keep a seat. Otherwise, when you come back, you may have to stand all the way to the terminal.
So Song Shishi didn't drink much water along the way, and she only ate the dry food she brought with her.
She didn’t have this feeling the last time she took the train with Meng Xunzhou.
