Chapter 892: Chapter 0892: Family Reunion 4

Feng Qingyun was, after all, a young girl, and had never done much heavy labor, so she was unconsciously taken away by Guan Yu before she even had a chance to talk more with her sister, leaving her fuming with frustration. But they were already far away, and there was no turning back.

With the children not around, Lu Zhiyuan’s father finally detailed the recent developments to his son and daughter-in-law.

The Wanglou Brigade was now famous because Wang Zhengguo had been personally received by the old leader, and this special honor affirmed what Lu Zhiyuan’s father had said before. Even though the harvest had not been good in the past two years, the people of Wanglou Brigade didn’t go hungry.

Creating models, after all, Huaibei City definitely wanted to maintain the image of the Wanglou Brigade in front of the old leader.

The most important point was that the Wanglou Brigade had connections up high. Although Wang Xinsheng never showed off, it was well known that his hometown was Wanglou Brigade. If his hometown was made into a mess and someone reported it to him, many people in charge of that area would face consequences.

We’re not talking about becoming a landmark like the old leader’s hometown because of his great achievements but, at the very least, we couldn’t let Wang Xinsheng suddenly decide to visit his hometown only to find it in complete disarray.

So, because of its fame, because it produced a notable person, the brigade faced fewer shocks.

To say there were none would be impossible, but everything was under control.

"Let’s not even mention your eldest uncle and your third uncle, even Ajiang is now considered a formidable figure by many in our brigade. The adults in the brigade are well aware, keeping their children in check, none daring to be reckless. One or two hotheaded students thought about stirring up revolution, but their parents beat them with the soles of shoes until they cried for their fathers and mothers, too pained to have any spirit left to cause trouble."

Feng Qingxue hurried to ask, "Are you alright? I saw those kids’ craziness on my way here."

Lu Zhiyuan’s father was a bona fide landlord, a renowned figure in Huaibei City, and also the "Bullpen" where he had been living housed two intellectuals from a Scholar Gentry family, Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu. Was it possible for those students not to drag them out and torment them?

Aside from Wang Xinsheng and Ye Zhengjun, Feng Qingxue’s greatest concern was for Lu Zhiyuan’s father, Uncle Xu and his wife, as well as her own elders from a previous life.

With a poor background, moving even an inch was difficult.

Lu Zhiyuan’s father waved his hand dismissively, "Don’t worry, I’m fine. Indeed, many people stormed the Bullpen. My stay there wasn’t a secret; they could find out if they wanted to. When they saw the photo of me with the old leader and his handwriting left for me, they didn’t dare to act rashly. Your eldest uncle showed them the letter of repentance I had pre-written, and he told them, ’The old leader said Lu Zhiyuan has made contributions to the country, wholeheartedly supports the revolution, and social class is not a problem. Do you want to make trouble in defiance of the old leader’s intentions? If he learns about this from the Capital, do you think he would be pleased?’ The students, who all supported every word and action of the old leader, saw I was living in the Bullpen with nothing to my name, and the old leader’s handwriting and photos were spotless, so they stopped harassing me."

Lu Zhiyuan’s father understood that if it wasn’t for the fact that his daughter-in-law was in the Capital giving birth and recuperating, and he had made that trip to the Capital, his current situation would have been much worse; even his life might have been at risk.

Wang Zhengguo could provide for his livelihood, but might not be able to fend off the crazed students—it was the old leader’s words that saved him.

Lu Zhiyuan’s father sighed deeply, "I’m fine, but that can’t be said for everyone else. In order to protect intellectuals like Old Brother Xu, your eldest uncle has to regularly make a show of summoning the people of the brigade to admit their faults and self-criticize, requiring them to submit self-criticism letters to the county every month, affirming they are undergoing reformation through labor, and only with great difficulty were outsiders deceived. Oh, after dinner tonight, come with me to see them. A few of them are from our school, just two, but there are several from the city, whom your third uncle painstakingly managed to have sent here under the guise of being relocated. Some were even brought here from the Capital, they truly are reputable seniors from the academic world, each a famous figure, apparently arranged by Comrade Cui."
