Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

Hearing the ridicule from the crowd, Zhao Weiguo's face became as ferocious and terrifying as a ghost.

It would be fine if Lu Dayong didn't take it himself.

Who made him the brigade secretary and put him above me?

The two sons of the Lu family also looked down upon him.

"Lu Dayong, don't worry about whether I will be criticized or not."

"On the contrary, your father will probably be in big trouble soon!"

Zhao Weiguo said coldly: "He pretended to obey the task assigned by his superiors, but he didn't take it seriously at all. He relied on his seniority and acted lawless!"

"As expected, like father, like son."

"Mr. Zhao! Keep your mouth shut!"

Lu Kangmei couldn't bear to hear people saying bad things about her father.

Who the hell does Zhao Weiguo think he is? How dare he complain here?

Immediately, Lu Kangmei rushed to Zhao Weiguo, clenched his fist and scolded: "Mr. Zhao, others may be afraid of you, but we in the Lu family are not afraid of you."

"My father is upright and never does anything against his conscience. He always completes the tasks assigned by his superiors quickly and well."

"On the contrary, how many immoral things have you done to please your superiors and the commune?"

"In the early years, the production was falsely reported, which almost caused famine in the brigade."

"You've been quiet for only a few years, and now you're making trouble again! Do you have any shame?"

"Tell me yourself, how many immoral things have you done in all these years as the captain of the brigade!"

"During the Great Leap Forward, you, a bastard, patted your chest and promised the commune that you would be the first to complete the task with guaranteed quality and quantity in order to flatter yourself!"

"What you mean by completing the mission is to take away the frying pans and kitchen knives and use them to make steel?"

With every question Lu Kangmei asked, the anger in the eyes of the surrounding team members grew.

Twenty years ago, Lu Dayong was still serving in the army.

The Zhao family has lived here for nearly a hundred years, and there are relatives of his in every corner of the town.

In addition, Zhao Weiguo has a cunning and smooth personality and will never let go of any grudge.

He has become the local tyrant.

The only person who can suppress him is the brigade secretary.

As luck would have it, the former brigade secretary died of illness.

The team leader Zhao Weiguo will temporarily serve as the brigade secretary of Dongshan Brigade.

Zhao Weiguo was eager to remove the word "concurrently holding" from his title.

Use any means necessary to please the commune leaders.

It was the era of the Great Leap Forward in Steel Production, and Zhao Weiguo thought that the opportunity had come.

No consideration of actual circumstances.

He took the responsibility and accepted the task given by the commune to produce 1,000 kilograms of steel.

Steelmaking requires coal and ore.

The brigade doesn’t have these things.

Zhao Weiguo had people build small earthen blast furnaces and small earthen coke ovens in a serious manner, and then held a meeting, requiring every household to hand over ironware.

Kitchen knives, door knockers, iron pots, and even iron door knockers were not spared.

This time.

Everyone finally understood where his confidence came from.

He betrayed the entire team and became famous all by himself.

The most annoying thing is.

Everyone in the team had to hand in their iron weapons, except those who were related to the Zhao family.

Because the Zhao family was so large and powerful, the team members dared not speak out.

A large amount of ironware was confiscated, and the steel produced was completely unusable.

It's all scrap steel.

Zhao Weiguo passed the responsibility to a team leader who was supervising steelmaking.

When one plan failed, Zhao Weiguo came up with another one.

He found ways to raise a batch of wheat and then falsely reported the output to the commune.

It is said that under his leadership, the Dongshan Brigade produced 1,500 kilograms of wheat per mu.

actual.

The wheat yield per mu that year was less than 500 kilograms.

The commune leaders were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. They first held a commendation meeting and then asked Zhao Weiguo to go to other brigades to share his experience.

at this time.

Lu Dayong is back.

In view of Lu Dayong's performance in the army and his personal wishes, his superiors arranged for him to return to his hometown to serve as the secretary of the production brigade.

Lu Dayong, who just returned from the army, hates fraud the most.

It is clearer what a wheat yield of 1,500 kilograms per mu means.

This year we need to produce 1,500 kilograms per mu.

Next year's collection task will be formulated according to this ratio.

Even if there is not a single grain of food left in the house, it must all be handed over.

Nor can they meet the collection targets set by their superiors.

Doing this will starve people to death!!!

Despite Zhao Weiguo's pleading, Lu Dayong insisted on confessing to his superiors.

Big news turned into a big scandal.

Zhao Weiguo was taken away directly by people arranged by the county for investigation.

It is hard to believe.

Not long after, Zhao Weiguo was released.

Apart from receiving a punishment, he continued to be his production team leader.

Everyone found out only afterward.

At that time, it was not just the Dongshan Brigade that was engaging in exaggeration, but all over the country.

Compared with other places where the per-acre yield is falsely reported to be several thousand or tens of thousands of kilograms.

The 1,500 kilograms that Zhao Weiguo falsely reported is nothing compared to the real thing.

In addition, Zhao's relatives helped secretly.

Big things become small, and small things become nothing.

After this incident, the Zhao family and the Lu family formed a blood feud.

Zhao Weiguo, who has been honest for many years, is now starting to show off again?

Zhao Weiguo said with an embarrassed expression: "I wasn't the only one who did this back then. It was the same in other places as well."

"It's been so many years since the incident happened. Is it interesting to bring up the past again?"

"We are talking about your Lu family's affairs now, don't bring me into this."

Fearing that the old incident would cause public outrage, Zhao Weiguo immediately changed the subject.

Mentioned that the public agency assigned the pig-raising task to the Dongshan Brigade.

"The three piglets that the public company gave to our team are now thinner than the last. I found out that your father only fed them with pig grass during my absence. This is ridiculous!!!"

"The higher-ups have set targets. These pigs must weigh more than 150 kilograms next spring."

"If you only feed the pigs with pig grass and no other feed, let alone 150 kilograms, I'm afraid it won't take long for all three pigs to starve to death."

"Piglets are sideline production tools issued by the commune. As long as they are production tools, they belong to the state."

"Your father starved the pigs to death, which is equivalent to destroying state property. What is this crime? Do you know, kid?"

Zhao Weiguo is good at making a fuss and accusing others of something.

Hearing this, Lu Kangmei began to feel suspicious.

Don’t think that what Zhao Weiguo said sounds a bit alarmist.

Once the commune really investigates, the lightest punishment would be to remove the offender from office.

Seeing this, Zhao Weiguo said with a fake smile: "Little bastard, now you know the consequences."

"I came back in a hurry this time just to solve your father's problem."

"Don't talk so nicely, you're doing this for yourself!"

Zhao Weiguo only hates that his father is still alive, so how can he expect him to help?

There is no chance.

The bastard said that because he was worried about getting himself into trouble.

If the task is not completed, the brigade secretary and the team leader will be punished.

Zhao Weiguo said in a commanding manner: "Go find your father. I have a way to solve the current problem."

"Your solution is to use the team members' rations to feed the pigs, right?"

Lin Kaifeng stood up from the ground slowly.

There was hatred and indifference in his eyes.
