Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 198 Li Genshu Steps Down

Lin Qingyan and the others were not very conspicuous standing in the crowd, of course, this might be what they thought.

They stood there chatting in low voices, and they didn't know how long it had been when suddenly a loud roar came from inside.

"Why do you do this?"

Lin Qingyan and the others looked at each other. The voice seemed to be from Li Genshu. The people outside who were watching the fun with them stopped whispering and listened attentively.

"You can't do this! I didn't make any mistakes!" After a few minutes, Li Genshu's voice came again.

Lin Qingyan had sharp ears and had actually heard the conversation inside, but she pretended not to hear anything like them.

Seeing that the commotion was almost over, she said to Wang Lanlan, "Let's go back first. We'll go to the village chief to get a letter of introduction this afternoon."

When they went to the countryside to provide support, their household registration was also followed. In those days, there were no ID cards, only letters of introduction. She needed a letter of introduction to go out.

When the control was strict in the past few years, even going to the county town required a letter of introduction, and you had to clearly state where you were from, where you were going, and what you were doing.

"Aren't you curious about what happened in there?"

Wang Lanlan was very curious. If she wasn't afraid that her father would beat her, she would have wanted to go in and take a look.

"Be careful, curiosity kills the cat. Let's go. When you know the answer, you can come and tell us." Lin Qingyan said and left with Ye Yi.

Wang Lanlan watched them leave and was afraid that her father would see her if she stayed here, so she went back as well.

After returning home, Lin Qingyan prepared lunch. Recently, she wanted to cultivate more feelings with Gu Yizhou. In addition to breakfast, they also ate lunch together at noon and in the evening.

Fang Yunxing didn't know how to cook, so he could only come along to eat for free. Lin Qingyan simply called Ye Yi to come along.

So recently the four of them had been eating together, and they brought everything to Lin Qingyan's place. The division of labor was clear among them: Ye Yi was responsible for washing and cutting the vegetables, Gu Yizhou was responsible for making the fire, Lin Qingyan was the chef, and Fang Yunxing was responsible for washing the dishes.

When Lin Qingyan was still cooking, she heard Wang Lanlan's yelling in the yard.

"Qingyan, Qingyan! Come out quickly, I have good news for you."

As she shouted, the people in the house came out one after another.

Ye Yi had finished washing the vegetables by now, and walked over to ask Wang Lanlan, "What's the good news?"

"Where is Lin Qingyan?"

"She's still cooking. It's not done yet."

"I'll go find her!" Wang Lanlan said and wanted to go inside, but was stopped by Ye Yi.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Tell me first, what is the good news?" The question asked by Ye Yi is also what everyone wants to know.

Wang Lanlan hesitated for a while, but still insisted: "I'll wait for Lin Qingyan to come out and talk together."

After that, she shouted again: "Lin Qingyan, come out quickly, everyone is waiting for you!"

"Wait a moment, it will be ready soon." Lin Qingyan replied loudly from inside.

I used a spatula to stir-fry quickly a few times, added some water into the pot, covered it with a lid, and walked to the other side to wash my hands.

"After you boil it, let it cook for a few more minutes. I'll go out and take a look." Lin Qingyan said to Gu Yizhou who was under the stove.

"Okay, go ahead!" Gu Yizhou raised his head and smiled at her.

Only then did Lin Qingyan walk out.

"She's out. Tell us what good news she has." Ye Yi couldn't control her desire to gossip.

Wang Lanlan saw that several people at the educated youth point wanted to know the answer, so she coughed and kept it a secret.

"Guess what!"

Ye Yi rolled up her sleeves, rolled up one arm, and was about to roll up the other, looking at Wang Lanlan with a smile.

He said to her, "Do you know what this means?"

"Oh, dear sister, I was wrong. I'll tell you now." Wang Lanlan stepped forward and grabbed Ye Yi's struggling sleeve.

He didn't dare to stop and said directly: "Li Genshu has been dismissed. He is no longer the captain of our Xishui Village!"

At this time, Lin Qingyan also walked over and asked, "Did the commune send someone to remove him this morning?"

"Yes, I heard from my father that the director of the commune came directly here, called them all over, asked about what happened recently, and then directly dismissed him!"

"Really?" Xu Jianshan, who had been standing in the yard, was the first to ask.

"It's true. It is said that the commune directly dismissed him and promoted one of the squad leaders to be the temporary captain!"

"Who is the captain now?"

"My surname is also Li, but I am one of the few decent people with the surname Li."

"Recently, most villagers have complaints about Li Genshu. The villagers wanted to improve their lives through their own skills, but they didn't expect that their team leader would not only not support them, but also report them."

"Yes, he is really not suitable to be the team leader. So the commune directly dismissed him."

"Well, this Li Genshu seems to be a narrow-minded person who likes to make things difficult for others. Alas, it's a pity that I spent one dollar." Ye Yi sighed.

"What one dollar?" Wang Lanlan was puzzled.

"When his daughter Li Cui got married, everyone in the village went. Qingyan and I were afraid that we would be retaliated against if we didn't go, so we went anyway. We even had to pay one dollar. I get angry just thinking about it!" Ye Yi explained!

"I heard that Li Cuihua got married and has a good relationship with Wang Zhiqing!" After Wang Lanlan said this, she suddenly thought of something and secretly glanced at Lin Qingyan.

Lin Qingyan smiled faintly, "Why are you looking at me?"

"Oh, it's okay! I just suddenly remembered that Li Genshu is no longer the team leader, so Wang Zhiqing will have no advantage?" Wang Lanlan's eyes lit up.

"More than there is no advantage, just wait and see, their family will become more and more lively." Lin Qingyan said with a smile.

"Why? Or do you know something?" Wang Lanlan couldn't help but ask.

"I won't tell you, but if you want to watch the fun, you can pay more attention to it. It's definitely lively, even more exciting than a play, and it's worth watching!" After saying that, Lin Qingyan turned around and went back to the kitchen.

Her partner was still adding fuel to the fire inside, and she didn't have time to gossip about other people's affairs.

When Lin Qingyan approached the kitchen, she instantly caught Gu Yizhou's gentle gaze and smiled at him.

“Is the pot boiling?”

“It’s already open!”

"Then wait a few more minutes and you can eat!"

The two looked at each other warmly in the house, while Wang Lanlan in the yard also left and went home for dinner.

After dinner, when Fang Yunxing went to wash up, he still pulled Ye Yi in to help. Lin Qingyan went for a walk with Gu Yizhou as usual. After walking around outside and preparing to go back, Lin Qingyan realized that she had forgotten something.

"I'm planning to go home for the New Year this year. I'll go to the village chief to get a letter of introduction this afternoon." She forgot to tell Gu Yizhou about going home for the New Year.

Gu Yizhou was stunned when he heard this information, and felt a little disappointed.

But he still asked casually: "Have you decided?"

"It's decided!"
