Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction

Remembering her brother's secret hideout, she headed up the mountain on the second day of her vacation, carrying a basket. She didn't know when it started, but fewer and fewer people were going up the mountain. Fewer and fewer people from the village were going to work...

The village chief and the brigade leader were so worried they couldn't sleep for nights on end. They knew exactly how much grain could be harvested from how much land there was. Even though so many people weren't working and wouldn't earn work points, they still couldn't meet their targets, and they certainly couldn't pay the required grain tax.

If it goes too far, they, who are only village chiefs and brigade leaders, will definitely be removed from their positions.

The brigade leader was really troubled by these people in the village who didn't work. Not working meant no work points, and no work points meant no grain distribution. He didn't understand what these people who wanted to go out and cause trouble were thinking. If you don't work and don't earn work points, where are you going to eat?

Thinking back on the past two years, the brigade leader could only sigh. Hearing the brigade leader sigh, Liu Fangmei also sighed, thinking about the current situation outside.

Chaos began to break out outside in 66. Their family had a radio, so when things started to get chaotic in Beijing in 66, they received the news.

Liu Fangmei listened to the radio anxiously every day, and would occasionally go to town to check on things whenever she had a spare moment. She didn't know when the chaos would spread to their area. Her daughter was in school, and she couldn't keep her with her at all times, so she had to pay close attention to the situation outside.

For two whole years, she was filled with anxiety and fear, until their town also began to fall into chaos, and only then did she feel a sense of relief.

Before long, she heard that chaos was starting to break out in schools outside the village as well, and she kept a close eye on the situation at the village primary school. As soon as she heard that the chaos was spreading to the village, she would immediately bring her daughter home.

For the past two years, her husband has been only coming home every few months to send a message. Because the mission was very important and couldn't be revealed, he only said he was going to carry out a mission without mentioning its details.

Xia Yutang knew this mission was dangerous, so every time she saw her father, she would remind him to be careful.

As the medicines in the storage space were sent away in batches, Xia Yutang began to guess what her father's mission was. Such a large quantity of medicine could only be produced on the battlefield, so her father's mission this time must be transporting medical supplies.

Even if it's not related to the soldiers on the front lines, it must be related to them, otherwise his father wouldn't be so busy, after all, he's already a regimental commander.

The chaotic situation did not subside but worsened. Some children in the village were also affected and joined Hong Xiaobing's group.

When the brigade leader found out, he took the parents in an oxcart to the place where they had caused trouble, rescued them, and brought them back to the village, where they were given a severe beating. Only then did they calm down.

In 68, a document arrived in the village, and the brigade leader's eyebrows were almost furrowed during the meeting. The old village chief had already retired, and the former brigade leader had taken over as village chief. The village chief's son had become the brigade leader.

The current brigade leader had completed junior high school, so he could understand documents from higher-ups. Standing on the stage now, everyone saw him frowning and assumed something terrible had happened.

Xia Yutang, sitting in the audience, had a guess. This was probably the time when a large number of educated youth were going to the countryside. The brigade leader must have thought these people were here to divide the village's grain, which was why his eyebrows were so thin.

Soon, the brigade leader on the stage revealed the truth of Xia Yutang's guess. These were the first batch of educated youth assigned to their village, a total of 8 people. They had to provide accommodation. The current funds included wages and subsidies. Apart from some subsidies being distributed when they registered, the rest were all used to buy houses for the educated youth after they went to the countryside.

The brigade leader received the document half a month ago. After receiving the document, he went to the farm closest to their village and consulted the farm manager about the plans for these educated youth.

There's still some time before the autumn harvest, and since the brigade leader has some free time, he'll get the housing for the educated youth sorted out first. Originally, the farm manager suggested that the old landlord's house be repaired and then used for the educated youth to live in, but everyone in the village knows that the old landlord's house is haunted, and letting these educated youth live there would guarantee that something bad would happen within a few days.

He, as the team leader, would be the one criticized if something went wrong. After thinking about it, he decided against it; he couldn't afford to repair an unsafe house just to save money.

Xia Yutang casually mentioned to the brigade leader that there would definitely be plenty of funding in the future. The brigade leader thought about it and agreed that it was very likely, so they deliberately made the house bigger when they were building it.

After all, their village had a relatively small population and a spacious area, so the brigade leader waved his hand and designated the most spacious area as the educated youth settlement.

Although the place was spacious, it was quite far from the villagers, but closer to the well, which made it convenient for the educated youth to fetch water when they arrived.

This location was provided by Xia Yutang, whether intentionally or unintentionally. She genuinely knew that this place would eventually house twenty or thirty educated youth. Therefore, she chose a larger location and built a larger house there to minimize future troubles.

That's how the location of the educated youth settlement was decided. To make things easier, the village chief borrowed all the adobe bricks from the villagers' homes throughout the village.

The educated youth settlement had a total of 8 large rooms and 3 small rooms. Each large room had a large kang (heated brick bed) that could accommodate at least 5 people.

There were three small rooms, a shower room, a toilet, and a kitchen. Next to the kitchen, a large shed was also built for them to store firewood.

This shed is larger than the villagers' homes, after all, it has 8 rooms and a kitchen, and in the dead of winter, a lot of firewood needs to be stored to heat the kang (a traditional heated bed).

The outer yard was also built with the leftover adobe bricks, forming a wall about 1.8 or 1.9 meters high. The brigade leader was quite considerate, taking safety issues into account as well.

Everyone else uses fences, but this place uses adobe bricks. The main reason is that there's some funding, and he wants to do a good job, since those city kids are quite delicate, and their safety needs to be guaranteed.

A month after the house was completed, just after the autumn harvest, the first batch of educated youth arrived in their village.

Those were the eight people mentioned in the first chapter of the brigade leader's document, five men and three women. Old Man Song from the village drove his oxcart to the town with the brigade leader and brought them back to the village.

Xia Yutang didn't go out to see the commotion. It wasn't until the next day at work that she heard those people were being incredibly pretentious, each staying in a separate room. They said they didn't want to share a room with anyone else…
