In the cafeteria, a stout woman with a student’s haircut saw him and immediately turned to look at her Group Leader.
The Group Leader nodded at her, indicating that this person was Han Qingsong.
The woman who had a neck almost as thick as her face immediately said in a rough voice, “Where are you from? Why do you seem so unfamiliar? There isn’t a lot of food available here, so idlers don’t get to take what they want here!”
Han Qingsong said, “The Shanshui Commune is here for a meeting,” The members of the Commune could use their money and tickets to obtain food here as it was also a clarified rule.
Not only that, but there were also subsidies provided. Otherwise, some Commune cadres would not like to come here and those who didn’t have bicycles wouldn’t bear the gruesome trip of walking here either. If coming over didn’t have its benefits, the cadres of the Commune might as well stay at home.
Who knew that the woman did nothing but snort, “A meeting? What kind of meeting is there today? Don’t think that I don’t know, but you people would just put on your military uniform and pretend to be from the Military Propaganda Team to cheat the canteen of their food and drink? Now that I see through it, you start to pretend to be a cadre of the Commune. Do you think I’m blind? Hmph, would the cadres still bring their families?”
She arched her thick neck out to look at Lin Lan and Xiaowang who were sitting there looking this way before she snorted heavily. After that, she tapped an iron spoon with force on the concrete platform.
Someone hurriedly told her that this was Director Han of the Shanshui Commune and he had come to eat before, so it was no problem.
The woman stubbornly refused, “I’m a straightforward person, so I won’t be doing anything suspicious underhandedly. Whoever he is, he can’t eat if he doesn’t follow the rules.”
When she said this, others immediately knew that she was doing it on purpose, especially those who knew her well. They were aware that she was Zhao Jianshe’s aunt. Since Zhao Jianshe was arrested and sent to the labor reform at Shanshui Farm, she wanted to try and make his life miserable.
Those who watched the scene play out hurriedly pretended not to know anything about the situation, each minding their own business so as not to cause trouble for themselves.
There were also people who thought that she was being too arrogant and was nothing but an ignorant idiot. Besides stirring trouble for herself, what other benefits were there to embarrass someone like him in public?
Naturally, Han Qingsong also realized that she was doing it on purpose as he looked down at the badge that was sticking out on her burly chest. It said Zhao Anhong, a member of the Worker Propaganda Team.
He didn’t argue as he merely stated, “Zhao Anhong, you’re discriminating against the poor farmers and cadres whilst also undermining the unity of the army and the people. I suspect that you were instigated by spies to maliciously try to stir chaos in the area.”
He turned his head and took a look before he saw several soldiers in the compound queuing up for dinner. Hence, he walked over and showed them one of his work ID cards— Han Qingsong, Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau of the County Revolutionary Committee. The? photo attached to it showed his appearance before he changed his career and rank as well.
The soldiers immediately greeted him and saluted.
Han Qingsong returned the salute and pointed at Zhao Anhong, “I have reason to suspect that she is plotting counter-revolutionary acts, so I will have her arrested and sent to the Public Security Bureau for interrogation.”
