59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

Just as Chen Hao said, the rumor in Nanluoguxiang is that the Liu Haizhong family in No. 95 Compound has gone bankrupt, and the eldest son Liu Guangqi He has stolen all the family property and ran away with his young wife.

Liu Haizhong was so angry that he was admitted to the hospital and was about to publish an announcement in the newspaper to sever the father-son relationship!

The rumor was so convincing that even the Jiaodaokou police station sent people to investigate.

The reason is simple: some enthusiastic citizens reported that an unfilial son appeared in the city!

Think about those cases where people in their seventies or eighties can still beat their sons or apprentices without worrying about resistance, and you will know how high the social ethical status of filial piety is in this age where human rights are not respected!

As a son, he stole all his parents' money and ran away with his wife. This kind of thing would not be punished by beheading as in ancient times for being unfilial, but at least he would be sentenced to many years in prison.

"Okay, we've made things clear. We'll make a brief explanation in the newspaper and won't let rumors ruin your reputation." Tao Song sat at the doorstep of the Liu family, listening to Chen Hao's testimony under the old man's supervision.

It is not enough for Liu Guangqi to explain this matter alone, other people must prove it.

"Director Tao, I'm sorry to bother you. Please help us with this matter. He is clearly working for the country to build the Northwest. How can he be considered an unfilial son?"

Of course, at this time, Liu Haizhong and his wife tried their best to protect their son from doing this. They were just angry that their eldest son went to build the Northwest.

"The person who spreads rumors behind the scenes is vicious!"

Liu Haizhong was filled with grief and resentment, and angrily cursed: "Those people have bad intentions and want to ruin my son's future!"

Tao Song could understand the resentment in Liu Hai's heart. Liu Guangqi was a top student who, in order to respond to the country's call, took the initiative to leave the old city and go to the distant and miserable Northwest. This was absolutely a form of self-sacrifice and he was a role model for the country's young generation of advanced individuals!

This person is going to be an official, and has a bright future!

You have to admit it!

Not to mention that countless people in later generations bought million-dollar houses in order to obtain a household registration in the old city, even though Hebei Province is just a few meters away.

Even now, countless people are trying every possible means to become city dwellers.

People in the countryside are scrambling to move to the city, people in the city are trying to apply to go to the big cities, and people in the big cities are eager to get a local hukou.

However, Liu Guangqi gave up the opportunity to stay in the old city and chose to go against the current and build the Northwest, which is 80% sand and 20% wilderness.

For such a morally advanced individual, it is easy to see why someone slandered his reputation.

Either stupid or bad!

"I know, I know, that's why I won't come. Don't worry, our government will never let anyone slander an outstanding patriotic young man like Xiao Liu!"

Tao Song expressed his position again and also warned the people present.

"We will thoroughly investigate whoever is spreading rumors behind the scenes. Defamation and slander are also crimes, and those caught must be severely punished!"

"That's good, that's good!" Liu Haizhong felt relieved.

He is a fan of officials and has the utmost respect for them.

After Tao Song finished speaking, some people who had been dancing happily behind his back these days suddenly looked nervous and uneasy.

It was because Liu Haizhong offended a lot of people when he was the second uncle. Many of them were participants or even initiators of this rumor.

Of course, there are also people who cannot bear to see Liu Haizhong’s son become a role model and go to the northwest to “be an official”.

There are not many people who harm others without benefiting themselves, but in this humble world, there is never a shortage of such despicable people.

Last year, Chen Feng caught a soft-shelled turtle, which was rumored to be a divine turtle, and there might be some bad intentions behind it.

"Uncle Tao, I think I missed something. Let me add to it." Chen Hao was still not satisfied after he finished speaking. He was very much looking forward to seeing his testimony in the newspaper and wanted to say more.

"No, no, enough, enough!"

Tao Song quickly waved his hands. It was not him who was to give the statement, but it was almost six o'clock and he wanted to get off work and go home for dinner.

But this kind of words that do not conform to official propaganda must not be said!

According to the above requirements, they must serve the people at all times.

In the sarcastic words of a few old-timers in their station, even on their wedding night, they have to come out to work immediately if someone reports a crime!

"Okay, second brother, it's time to go home." Chen Feng said to Chen Hao while holding his sister's hand.

He could see what Tao Song and the others were thinking, and patted his brother's shoulder with a smile.

They are also human beings. Do they have to sacrifice their own families for the sake of everyone else?

If you can’t even take care of your own family, how can you take care of everyone else?

"Da Guo, is Second Brother going to be in the newspaper? Will it be like you last time, in the newspaper?" Chen Li asked curiously.

She was very envious of the last time Chen Feng went to the countryside and was photographed by a female reporter and published in the newspaper.

There was no way. Chen Feng became famous that time, and wherever he took her, people praised him. The little girl was so envious that she wished she could be praised by everyone too.

"Haha, shouldn't." Chen Feng smiled and took his sister back.

"Why?" Chen Hao was very depressed and said, "Brother, I have said so much, much more than them. That uncle has written several pages. Can't I publish it in the newspaper?"

Chen Feng immediately understood why his younger brother spoke in such detail, and even tried his best to recall the conversation between the Liu family's father and son.

"It's not like you can get it published just by saying how much you want. But Liu Guangqi might become famous this time. I'm afraid he will have a bright future."

"Why? Didn't others call him an unfilial son?" Chen Hao didn't understand.

Chen Feng explained with a smile: "If there were no such rumor, he would be at most one of the dozens of advanced individuals. Who would know him?"

"But people spread rumors like this, so Uncle Tao had to investigate in person and then explain the situation in the newspaper."

"Just think about it, how many people will know his name? The leaders of the Organization Department who are in charge of personnel arrangements will definitely give him some great benefits, such as a small official position, to show the higher-ups' praise and protection for these advanced individuals!"

Chen Hao's eyes widened in surprise, "Ah, there are benefits to being slandered?"

"That depends on who they are." Chen Feng said with a smile, "If they are ordinary people, what else can they do if they are slandered? Just bear with it."

"But if it's someone with power, like Grandpa, me, or someone who is a talent responding to the country's call, then of course they must have official protection and be given corresponding compensation. Otherwise, how can others be willing to contribute to the country after seeing this?"

"Brother, if I go to the Northwest in the future, can I also advertise in the newspaper?" Chen Hao said foolishly.

Chen Feng shook his head: "Don't learn from Liu Guangqi, he's a bit stupid!"

"Nowadays, if you go to the northwest, you either grow mushrooms or tomatoes. Liu Guangqi is not good enough to grow mushrooms. It's a waste for a top student to grow tomatoes. He might as well work in a factory in Beijing!"

(Tomatoes in Xinjiang were first planted after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. There were no such agricultural products before that. In the 90s, they became the main crop, accounting for 90% of the national output.)

Chen Feng admires those who are going to build the Northwest now, but he really thinks that there is no need to send top students. It will be enough to support a group of farmers.

There is no industrial base there now, only the Corps’ agricultural reclamation farms.

"Ah?" Chen Hao was dumbfounded. "But brother, didn't the newspaper say that we should learn from these people's heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country?"

He is indeed a hero, but definitely not to the Liu family.

Chen Feng brought his younger brother and sister into the yard, feeling a little complicated.

He admires such people, but definitely doesn't want to be that kind of person.

Just like space, if it were his father or grandfather, they would probably donate it to the country, even if it might bring huge side effects, such as being protected in a secret place for a lifetime and becoming the real-life version of the human pillar in an anime.

But he absolutely did not want to end up like this, although this was only the biggest possibility and there might be other ways out.

I glanced at the silent old man and saw him nod.

Then he said softly: "Those who always shout "be ready to sacrifice at any time" are either stubborn idiots or shameless politicians!"

"The former is a hero and is willing to sacrifice."

"The latter is a bitch, lie to death!"

"If you meet the former kind of person, make friends with him, help him realize his ambition to become a hero, and get some credit for it yourself."

"If you meet a bastard who only talks about sacrifice but never sacrifices himself, try to stay away from him. If you get entangled with him, kill him immediately!"

"Because you are not sure whether the latter will plot to have you killed, but the credit will go to his tricks. You should know that throughout history, nine out of ten people who have climbed to high positions have all the credit attributed to the superiors, while the sacrifices and sins are all on the inferiors."

"Without the sacrifices of their men, there would be no throne of bones!"
