Chapter 577: Propaganda in the Countryside, Jia Zhangshi Cries from Exhaustion
Jia Dongxu asked Officer Song to wait a moment.
He turned around, came to the door of the inner room, knocked, and prepared to lecture Jia Zhangshi.
Knock, knock, knock!
There was no response from inside.
Knock, knock, knock!
There was still no response from inside.
Officer Song frowned slightly; was Jia Zhangshi doing this on purpose?
"Officer Song, my mother didn't sleep well last night and might be having trouble getting up this morning. Please don't think too much of it; I'll get her up right away."
What else could Jia Dongxu do?
He first placated Officer Song, then increased the force of his knocking.
Bang, bang, bang!
It was bordering on smashing the door.
"Jia Dongxu, are you annoying or what?"
"Go to work after you eat. Put my food in the pot; I'll eat it myself after I get up."
The snoring stopped.
Jia Zhangshi cursed and grumbled.
"Mom, Officer Song is here to see you. Aren't you going to get up yet?"
Jia Dongxu smiled awkwardly again. "090"
"Who did you say is here?"
Jia Zhangshi was very surprised.
"It's me, Officer Song. Jia Zhangshi, I'm here to take you to serve as a volunteer propagandist. Aren't you going to get out of bed yet?"
Officer Song shouted out.
"I'll be up right away."
Jia Zhangshi agreed.
Very quickly.
Jia Zhangshi opened the door and walked out.
Officer Song felt a wave of disgust; Jia Zhangshi must have drooled while sleeping, as there were traces of dried saliva on her chin, along with two large globs of eye discharge.
"Mom, go wash your face first!"
Jia Dongxu couldn't bear to look and urged Jia Zhangshi.
Officer Song waved his hand, telling her to hurry and wash her face.
In the fifties, apart from stage performers or on big celebratory days like weddings, most women would at most apply a little vanishing cream.
They didn't wear makeup!
That didn't mean they were slovenly, but they couldn't be like Jia Zhangshi, who wouldn't even wash her face!
Very quickly.
Jia Zhangshi returned after washing her face.
"Jia Zhangshi, starting today, you will join the propaganda team to promote pest control."
"Pack your things. In a little while, Aunt Sun from the propaganda team will come to find you."
Officer Song left after delivering the notice.
"Oh, right, the propaganda campaign lasts for three days."
"You might have to go to several places. The subdistrict office is responsible for your food and lodging. You don't need to return to the Sihe Academy for three days."
At the doorway.
Officer Song added one more sentence.
"They'll even provide food?"
Jia Zhangshi was happy.
The work meals should be pretty good, right?
"Dongxu, I won't be back for these three days. Take good care of yourself; I won't be able to look after you."
Jia Zhangshi instructed while eating breakfast.
Jia Dongxu almost laughed.
Who was looking after whom?
Jia Zhangshi was lazy and gluttonous; she didn't do chores or cook, so Jia Dongxu did everything.
Jia Zhangshi left.
He could be a lot more relaxed.
Before Jia Dongxu could go to work, Aunt Sun arrived at the door.
Everyone in the Sihe Academy knew Aunt Sun. Aunt Sun was an officer at the subdistrict office, mainly responsible for propaganda work, with different duties than Officer Song.
"Jia Zhangshi, come with me!"
"You are following me to serve as a volunteer propagandist. Director Wang said this is your labor reform for these three days. You must perform well, understand?"
Aunt Sun looked to be in her early fifties.
She was even a bit older than Jia Zhangshi.
She was full of energy.
"Aunt Sun, what is this..."
Yi Zhonghai came to the Jia household.
Aunt Sun was Officer Sun; under normal circumstances, everyone should call her Officer Sun.
But before Aunt Sun was officially appointed, when she wasn't an officer yet, she was already responsible for propaganda. Everyone was used to calling her Aunt Sun, so no one called her Officer Sun.
Unless it was a formal occasion.
"I've come to take Jia Zhangshi away. She is following me to serve as a volunteer propagandist, so she won't be back for these three days."
Aunt Sun notified Yi Zhonghai.
Quite a few people in the courtyard gathered around and heard that Jia Zhangshi was going to be a volunteer propagandist for three days.
Jia Zhangshi followed Aunt Sun to the subdistrict office.
The propaganda team was already fully prepared and ready to go.
This time, the propaganda team had twelve people.
Eleven were staff members from the subdistrict office; only Jia Zhangshi was a volunteer propagandist. Everyone knew she was being punished with labor reform.
"This is yours!"
Someone handed over a backpack, similar to a marching pack, and told Jia Zhangshi to put it on.
"So heavy?"
"What's inside this?"
Jia Zhangshi didn't want to carry anything.
But looking at the others, everyone had a backpack on, even Aunt Sun, who was older than her, was carrying one.
"There are propaganda materials for rat extermination and rat poison!"
Aunt Sun replied.
Then they set off.
As they walked, Jia Zhangshi noticed something was wrong.
Why were they walking out of the city?
