Lin Zishan had just slipped off the train at Nanshi. After this train left, when another train arrived at the station, she told the conductor that she had misread the train's stop time.
The conductor let her take the next train with her ticket. She unconsciously touched the 100 yuan and ten kilograms of grain coupons in her pocket. This was the most money and coupons she had ever carried in her life.
She took out a few pieces of cake and started eating. These were given to her by Chu Jingqiu. This time, Chu Jingqiu lent her 20 yuan, five kilograms of food coupons, and gave her two bags of pastries.
She felt really warm in her heart. This was the person who treated her best other than her father in all these years.
When she arrived in Hai City, she found a guesthouse to stay in, took out a pen and paper from her bag, and wrote three anonymous letters and two big-character posters.
At night, under the cover of darkness, three anonymous letters were sent to the Revolutionary Committee, the Public Security Bureau and the neighborhood committee respectively.
One big-character poster was posted at the entrance of her older brother's workplace, and the other was posted at the neighborhood committee.
Gambling is a cancer left over from feudal society and a part of decadent culture. The state has cracked down on it severely. In the 1960s, some people were even shot for gambling in groups.
The next day, Lin Zishan's older brother was taken away by the police for investigation, and the police quickly arrested the gambling fraud gang.
Lin Zishan's older brother was sent to a farm for labor reform. Due to Lin's mother's mischief, the coal mine, for the sake of Lin's dead father, allowed Lin Zishan's younger brother to work as a temporary worker in the coal mine.
The biggest benefit of Lin Zishan's operation is that the house mortgaged to the gambler will be returned, so that Lin's mother and Lin's younger brother will have a place to live again.
The neighborhood committee found Lin's mother and, after hearing that she had arranged a marriage and sold her own daughter to pay off her son's gambling debts, they asked her to attend the neighborhood committee's study class every day to undergo ideological transformation.
Lin Zishan was sitting on the train back to Northern Province, feeling extremely happy. She finally lived her life for herself.
She was particularly grateful to Chu Jingqiu, and admired this girl from the bottom of her heart. She would definitely repay Chu Jingqiu in the future.
This girl was two years younger than him, yet she was surprisingly clever. Her solution not only sent Lin Ma away but also solved the problem without leaving any trace. She was very thoughtful in every aspect.
Chu Jingqiu briefly divided his methods into four points.
First, she couldn't get off the bus with Lin's mother. She had to get off at a bus stop near Hai City. She was afraid that if she followed her mother home and was apprehended, she, a girl, would be unable to break free. By the time the matter was settled, it would be too late.
Another reason was to create the illusion for Lin Ma that she did not return to Hai City, but stole money to return to Bei Province.
When her mother arrived at the station, she found that the person had already run away, which saved Lin's mother the trouble of returning to Northern Province again.
Since Mother Lin came from so far away, she must have some money on her. It was most likely given by the butcher. She took the money and used it as the return fare and future living expenses.
Second, write letters to the Revolutionary Committee, the Public Security Bureau, and the neighborhood committee to prevent any one of them from shielding the gambling gang and suppressing the anonymous letter.
Third, the anonymous letter from the neighborhood committee must include arranged marriages and selling daughters to pay off gambling debts.
Because gambling occurred at that time, the neighborhood committee or production team had to bear a great deal of responsibility.
In this way, not only will his older brother be punished, but Lin's mother will also be punished by the neighborhood committee. She will not dare to do so, and she will not have time to target Lin Zishan again.
Fourth, posting big-character posters. If anonymous letters don't work, using big-character posters to build public opinion will create pressure, and under the pressure of public opinion, no one will dare to shield gambling gangs. This is the most powerful insurance against the above measures getting out of control.
Lin Zishan did not show her face throughout the whole process, which also avoided having to rely on falling out to solve the problem, thus avoiding the reputation of being ruthless and unfilial.
Lin Zishan's nerves, which had been tense for several days, finally relaxed and she fell into a deep sleep on the train.
---------
Chu Jingqiu has been very busy these days. She is a perfectionist and will not let go of any slogans or posters that she has barely glanced at.
So almost all the old posters and slogans had to be redrawn. She drew the edges and her assistants colored them, and everyone worked together very well.
The works I painted these days were highly praised by the commune secretary.
She had seen Gu Wanshan several times in the commune, but Gu Wanshan only glanced at her secretly and did not dare to come to her openly to disgust her.
In the past few days, she and Qian Yunyun had lunch together. They had eaten in state-owned restaurants, commune canteens, and supply and marketing cooperative canteens. Their relationship was getting better and better.
After work that day, she returned to the educated youth site and found that the gate was locked. She asked to open the door, and as soon as she pushed the cart in, Shi Aihong quickly locked the door.
"Jingqiu, come and cook. We are going to have meat at the educated youth restaurant today." Shi Aihong called her.
It's their turn to cook today. She won't be back for lunch, so Shi Aihong cooks by herself. They cook together in the morning and evening.
"We used this month's meat coupons to buy some meat to improve our meals today." Shi Aihong was cutting the meat happily.
"Have you thought about how to eat this meat?" Chu Jingqiu asked while washing his hands.
"Of course it's fried! That's how everyone used to eat it." Shi Aihong said without turning her head.
"I thought of a new way to eat it, let's try it."
Shi Aihong looked at her with suspicion, "Can you think of a new way to eat it? We finally get to eat meat, don't waste it."
"I don't trust people. Today you'll be in charge of lighting the fire, and I'll be in charge of cooking."
Shi Aihong was still a little bit unconvinced, and she was reluctantly dragged by Chu Jingqiu to the stove to light the fire.
Chu Jingqiu fried the chopped meat in water, skimmed off the foam, and fished it out.
Then he heated up the oil in a pan, and while Shi Aihong wasn't noticing, he asked Jiang Jiang to secretly pour some light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and a few rock sugars into the bowl.
