Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

Alas, this plot is already outrageous. Let’s think about how to deal with it next.

Grain tax is due tomorrow, so there is no time to commit the crime. The best time to commit the crime is tonight. Although she did not succeed in the original plot, who knows if she will succeed this time. Grain is very important. If she succeeds, the grain tax will not be delivered next year, not to mention the food rations for the villagers in the second half of the year. It seems that I still need to discuss it with the team leader. I can't find any other excuses, so I can only use my intuition that I have been using for many years.

Yu Congcong found the team leader and said, "Uncle Gangzi, we need someone to look after the granary tonight."

"Okay." The captain agreed without hesitation.

Yu Congcong looked at the captain in surprise. The captain seemed to see Yu Congcong's confusion and said, "I know everything. You don't need to explain. Don't worry, uncle will make arrangements."

In fact, the villagers knew that Yu Congcong could sense danger, although after the government cracked down on feudal superstition, no one talked about it. However, if Yu Congcong said something, everyone would do it carefully. Yu Congcong herself didn't know that her prestige in the hearts of the villagers far exceeded that of all village cadres, even her adoptive father Yu Dazhuang.

"Okay, then I'll go back." As soon as Yu Congcong left, the team leader started to discuss with the village cadres.

"Congcong came just now. We need to arrange someone to guard the granary tonight."

"Ah, Congcong is here!" Several village cadres were a little panicked.

"Why are you panicking? We all know the problem. What are you afraid of?" the captain shouted.

"Yes, we haven't received any reminders from Cong Cong for several years, so we are a little uncomfortable for the moment." Fu Yu found an excuse to cover up his panic.

"Yes, I just can't adapt." The other village cadres all accepted Fu Yu's lame excuse.

The captain looked at them speechlessly, and everyone said "Hey hey" to hide their embarrassment.

"Okay, let's discuss how to arrange the manpower." The captain said.

Everyone calmed down and thought. "Congcong, did you say anything specific?" Jin Yu asked.

"No, I didn't ask. It's enough to know the general idea of ​​the matter. We can't be too dependent. We need to handle it ourselves." said the captain.

Jin Yu nodded, thinking that the captain was right. This was a village matter and should be handled by the cadres. How could they rely on a little girl?

"Congcong, since you mentioned the granary, it must be a food problem. We have to pay the public grain tomorrow, and we must not let anything go wrong. Congcong is signaling us to find someone to guard it, but I think it's still not safe. After all, people are not machines, and there are always unexpected changes. We have to do double security."

"Yes, the captain is right. Food is too important and no mistakes can be made." Fu Yu felt that the captain's concerns were justified.

"Well, we all support the captain's approach." Other village cadres also agreed.

"Okay, let's discuss what to do." Seeing that no one had any objections, the captain began to discuss and make arrangements.

Yu Congcong returned home, feeling much more at ease and no longer as anxious as she had been in the previous few days.

She will start work tomorrow. Her father was supposed to come back a few days ago, but he received another mission. She doesn't know when he will come back, so she doesn't have to consider whether to change jobs for the time being. She is not against working in the county's armed forces department, but she is afraid that if she goes to the county, she will not be able to take care of what happens in the village.

Tiezhu left a few days ago. He took on a big case and has to go on a business trip. I don’t know when it will be over.

"Congcong, you are going to work tomorrow, I will take you there. Tiezhu told me when he left that you should not come back alone after get off work in the afternoon, and wait for me to pick you up." Zhang Yun said as soon as he entered the lush yard.

"No need. I'm an adult now, not a child anymore. I can be alone. You always treat me like a child." Yu Congcong was a little dissatisfied. They always treated her like a child just because she was short.

Yu Congcong is indeed the same as her previous life, a short person, less than 1.5 meters tall. She has a good figure, with meat where it should be, and thin where it should be, and a delicate face. But these can't cover up her height, which is her weakness. Once something has to do with her height, Yu Congcong gets angry.

Zhang Yun coaxed her patiently, "We don't treat you as a child. Even if you grow up, we are still worried about your safety. Our Cong Cong is so beautiful, it's not safe to go out."

Zhang Yun is eight years older than Yu Congcong. When the three of them were together, he always took care of Tiezhu and Yu Congcong as a big brother. Zhang Yun often coaxed her and tolerated her little temper. Yu Congcong sometimes relied on Zhang Yun more.

"Okay, Brother Zhang Yun, are your work points this year enough for food?" Yu Congcong asked.

"It should be enough. If not, we can just exchange it with money like in previous years." Zhang Yun said indifferently.

"It's better not to exchange it openly with money. Haven't you seen many Red Guards cutting off the tails of capitalists now? Being rich is not a good thing now. Being poor is a good thing."

"Well, if not, just go buy some on the black market."

"Don't go to the black market. Find someone in the village and exchange it privately. It's safer."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhang Yun really likes Yu Congcong's concern for his affairs, which makes him feel that Yu Congcong is like a family member.

"How is our soy sauce lately?" Yu Congcong thought of the soy sauce.

Zhang Yun frowned and said solemnly, "It's not good. Director Zhang, the second-in-command, hasn't given up yet and is still keeping a close eye on you! I was just about to tell you about this. Director Zhang's son found out from somewhere that you are Uncle Dazhuang's daughter. He can't do anything about Uncle Dazhuang, so he wants to find fault with you." Zhang Yun told Yu Congcong all the information he had obtained in the past few days.

"Hmph, no, he wants to mess with me, I have to mess with him first." Yu Congcong responded angrily.

Yu Congcong has been tolerating Director Zhang for a long time. Ever since the soy sauce from their village became famous, Director Zhang has been chasing after her like a fly on flesh.

"Well, we have collected most of the evidence, but we haven't found where he hid the stolen goods." Zhang Yun said in a steady tone.

"Well, be careful and don't worry. I will pay more attention and will never make a mistake that would give him the opportunity to grab my braids." Yu Congcong comforted softly.

"Well, I'll go back first. Yaya is still waiting for dinner at home." Zhang Yun slowly stood up, gently touched Lu Congcong's head, then turned and left.

"Okay." Yu Congcong looked at Zhang Yun's departing back, feeling that something was wrong with Zhang Yun these days.

The sun quietly "went off work" when no one noticed it yet, and the moon seemed to be lazy tonight as well, with not a single light shining through the dark sky.
