Chapter 188 I Can't Bear to See Her Being Bullied in the slightest

"That's right, anyone who had contact with the woman with the gun has been detained."

The little system sat stealthily on Bai Nuo's shoulder, its two short legs swinging leisurely, looking like an adorable accessory.

Bai Nuo nodded, told the small system to recall the clone program, and then stopped paying attention to the matter.

Bai Nuo rode her bike to the parking shed near the supply and marketing cooperative. As soon as she locked her bike, she saw a crowd of people blocking the entrance of the cooperative. She was completely dumbfounded.

She knew there would be a lot of people today, but she didn't expect there to be this many!

She suddenly realized... she probably couldn't squeeze in.

"Nono!" Sun Yuxi, pulling Chao Xianhua and Qin Xuehua, saw Bai Nuo across the street and quickly ran over.

"You've come too, but it seems like you can't get into the supply and marketing cooperative." Bai Nuo pointed helplessly at the supply and marketing cooperative, whose entrance was blocked by people.

Sun Yuxi smiled and said, "It was decided by the head of our commune. That leader was worried that the people in each brigade would be overworked and unable to take it, so he set a long rest day. Except for the autumn harvest, there is a long rest day every month during other seasons, and no one in any brigade goes to work."

Bai Nuo then realized that there was such a day. Normally, there was a rest day every seven days. On the rest day, one could choose to work or not. There was no mandatory requirement. However, most of the able-bodied people in the family were reluctant to give up their work points for that day. Even if there was something that needed to be bought in the county or something that needed to be done, it was usually the women in the family who would rest for that day.

However, the educated youth would generally rest on their days off, and even if they didn't go to the county to buy things, they would lie in the dormitory all day.

"That leader of the commune was quite nice." Bai Nuo thought that people nowadays were truly simple and honest, without the characteristics of capitalists in later generations.

However, in this day and age, the word "capitalist" itself is considered sinful, so this statement cannot be made.

This long rest day is not a statutory rest day arranged by the state; it is a unique feature of their Yuanshan Commune.

Qin Xuehua nodded in agreement, looked around, and pulled her three friends to stand against the wall. Only then did she quietly share what she had heard before.

"I heard that when that leader went to the city for a meeting, he heard from the city leaders that there was a brigade under the commune that never had a day off. Even the people in the brigade had a hard time getting leave. As a result, a person died from overwork in that brigade a couple of years ago."

This matter was even criticized in a circular from the city. After our commune leaders returned, they called all the production team leaders to a meeting at the commune. In the past, there were no holidays in any of the production teams in our commune. If there was anything, you could just ask the team leader or the production team leader for leave.

The brigade cadres in our Qishui brigade are all very good; they'll grant leave as long as there's a legitimate reason. However, ever since that incident, our commune's production teams have had a small rest day every seven days and a team-wide rest day each month. If you're really feeling unwell, you can ask the brigade leader for leave, but you'll need a certificate from the village clinic.

The group then realized where their commune's unique day off came from; it turned out there was a precedent to follow.

The four girls weren't in a hurry to squeeze into the supply and marketing cooperative; it was just too crowded. They went to the old man selling popsicles from his four-wheeled cart by the roadside, each buying one. They sat on the curb, eating and watching the street scene. Although this is a fictional story, and there will definitely be some original plot elements, I'll still post a picture to avoid any more criticism. ╮(╯▽╰)╭
