Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household-Chapter 881
Han Qingsong was too lazy to understand all these twists and turns. He just wanted to get rewards for working and improving the lives of the employees in the bureau and his family. He would not engage in other intrigues.
On the 10th day of the first Lunar month, Han Qingsong took Luo Haicheng to a meeting. At noon, Deputy Directors Li and Gao invited him to dinner, but he refused. Unless the Revolutionary Committee organised a dinner that he had to attend, he refused all private invitations.
So they ate with Liu Jianyun in the cafeteria.
Han Qingsong saw that the food was good today with braised pork and roast chicken, so he bought an extra roast chicken and two braised pork, intending to take them back home as he left.
He had cabbage, vermicelli and tofu for lunch, which also had sauces with meat residue, so it was quite fragrant.
Liu Jianyun and Luo Haicheng were used to Han Qingsong’s family-oriented attitude. If there was anything delicious, he would think of taking it home first. In fact, they even let him take their portions of meat.
Han Qingsong refused as he didn’t have that much of a need for meat. Besides, he would not eat other people’s lunches just because he didn’t want to spend more money for himself. All he felt was that it would be more delicious to eat with his wife and children at home at night.
The two knew his temper and just laughed it off.
During the meal, Liu Jianyun talked about the recent gossip, “Have you heard that a Brigade Leader died suddenly when he got up at night. When he was found, his body was frozen like a stick.”
Luo Haicheng, “It was either a brain or heart attack.”
Some of the older seniors could easily die abruptly when they went from a warm bed to a cold place or vice versa. This kind of thing often happens in the countryside.
Liu Jianyun, “There is another case that happened in a commune brigade in the east two days ago. I heard that a warehouse was robbed at night and several thousand catties of food were stolen.”
Luo Haicheng asked, “That? Either the thief robbed their own warehouse or the thief let a pack of wolves into the house.”
He was not just talking casually. After all, it was collective labour at that time. The livestock and private grain of the brigade were kept together by the brigade. The public security of the village was also managed by the village itself. Therefore, it was not easy for outsiders to sneak into the village.
Han Qingsong became a little interested when he heard that the grain was lost, “Did you report it?”
Liu Jianyun shook his head and said, “The brigade investigated it themselves. They said that they caught the grain thief and held a denunciation rally to criticise and beat the person to death. They didn’t report it, but just submitted a document to the Commune Revolutionary Committee.”
At this time, many brigades had incidents, so the brigades brought their own militia to deal with it. They didn’t like to report to the commune since many communes’ Public Security Bureaus were just for show or didn’t exist at all. This was the case during the special period— if cadres and revolutionary activists said that a person was guilty, then he was guilty. Moreover, when the critiques were too much during the denunciation rallies, some of the victims would choose to jump into the river or hang themselves out of the pressure of being wronged. Even so, no one really cared.
