At this moment, Jiang Chun was waiting anxiously at home. Yu Bing had been gone for most of the day, and the sky outside had already completely darkened. Jiang Chun was about to go out to the youth dormitory to find Liu Ming and the others to accompany her to the commune to look for her.
The door creaked open.
Yu Bing entered the courtyard and shouted, “Chun Chun, I’m back!”
Jiang Chun ran out when she heard the sound. Her face was filled with anxiety. “Why were you gone for so long? I thought something had happened to you.”
Yu Bing hurriedly pulled Jiang Chun into the house. “I’m fine. Let’s talk inside. I brought you something good.”
There was still untouched food on the kitchen table. Yu Bing knew that Jiang Chun was waiting for her to eat with her.
Yu Bing hurriedly said, “Chun Chun, I’ve eaten already. Hurry up and eat now. I have braised pork here.”
Jiang Chun looked at Yu Bing taking out the braised pork wrapped in oil paper from her bag and was very puzzled. Didn’t she go to send a report?
“What happened to you this afternoon?”
Yu Bing told her what happened in the afternoon from beginning to end. Jiang Chun only felt relieved when she heard that Yu Bing had successfully thrown the letter in before returning to the village.
Jiang Chun asked in confusion, “When did you learn to drive?”
Yu Bing told her the excuse she had thought of beforehand. “Didn’t I often go to the factory’s convoy in the past? I learned it from Master Wu.”
The reason Yu Bing used this excuse was that there was indeed a person called Master Wu. Master Wu didn’t like to speak and always had a cold expression. He wasn’t close to anyone, but he liked children.
Later on, Master Wu was transferred to another province. In her previous life, she had never seen anyone who had any contact with Master Wu even until her death. Although there was a risk of her identity being exposed, she could only take it one step at a time now. There would always be a way.
Fortunately, Jiang Chun didn’t continue asking.
Yu Bing passed by the Xiao family’s house when she was running at night. She turned around and looked in. Xiao Sheng nodded when he saw Yu Bing looking over from the courtyard. Yu Bing knew that this matter had been settled.
Xiao Sheng began to instruct his brother to secretly go to the mountain to pick apples these few days. The apple tree was in the depths of the forest. Because of the rumors of it being haunted, no one dared to go. That day, Yu Bing’s roommates didn’t know these legends, and Yu Bing didn’t remember this matter at the moment, so they walked there.
The commune stipulated a regular meeting every Wednesday to deal with the reports that had piled up for a week. Two days later, on Wednesday morning, there were a few opened anonymous complaints on the long table in the commune’s conference room.
President Song looked at the letter in front and complained that the mayor of the He Mountain Brigade, Sun Wang, had used his position to privately arrange for his nephew to be the driver of the tractor in the village. He recalled that when he and his wife went to chase after Yu Bing that day, she seemed to have seen her throw something into the letter box.
And this letter happened to be from the He Mountain Brigade. He couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
Director Zhao was an upright and fair person. He couldn’t stand such actions the most. “A village chief has to look out for the benefit of the villagers, instead of using his power to enrich his own family. Sun Wang is like an overlord!”
Seeing this, President Song said, “We must investigate this matter clearly. When we visit the various villages later, we will settle this matter. We will never punish good people, but we won’t let a bad person off!”
The investigation of the report letter’s contents was usually done by the investigation team themselves. The investigation team’s work scope was very wide. Anything that needed to be investigated, be it official corruption or statistics, were reported to the government at all levels.
But occasionally, President Song would go with the investigation team when he was free and visit the villagers in the district to understand the actual situation.
After the meeting ended, President Song personally led the monitoring team of the commune to the villages to understand the details of the reports.
It was almost noon when the investigation team reached the village committee of the He Mountain Brigade. The village chief, Sun Wang, jogged back to the office with the staff who had just finished work.
Sun Wang opened the office door and turned around with a smile. “President Song, leaders, sorry to keep you all waiting. We just came from the field. Please sit.”
Usually, it was the village chief who went to the commune for the meeting as a representative. The villagers had never seen these commune leaders before, so they hurriedly poured water and moved chairs.
President Song waved his hand with a gentle smile on his face. “You guys must be tired after coming back from the farm. We can find a random place to sit.”
Sun Wang said enthusiastically, “We’re used to working. It’s more tiring for the leaders who run around all day!”
