Chapter 78: The Valiant Villagers
Xie Zhou replied, “It is to strengthen the health of the villagers and enhance their physical fitness, so that even if they encounter an emergency, they will have a greater chance of survival!”
Xie Zhou was the one who proposed these ideas. He had learned of it in prison, so he directly followed them.
After Sun Chengfu finished shouting, the crowd of people started moving.
The men did some push-ups and pull-ups. The women did radio exercises. They learned from the television and exercised a lot.
Wang Meng looked at the women’s team and found that they were not all women in their thirties or forties. There were also young girls who were exercising with them.
He saw one of the girls. She was very young and looked to be about twenty. She had her hair pulled back in a ponytail that swung back and forth as she exercised. She had a big smile on her face, revealing two small dimples.
Wang Meng couldn’t bear to look away. He was not married and had no partner. When he saw that girl, he even blushed.
He decided to find a chance to find out if the girl was married. If she wasn’t, he had to court her.
In the end, Sun Chengfu announced, “Alright, it’s time for the battle!”
Sun Chengfu threw a ball the size of a bowl in the direction of the men’s team. All the six groups of men moved and fought to catch the ball.
Wang Meng stared at this scene with his mouth agape.
The team members who were originally close friends immediately became competitors and did not show one another any mercy.
They pushed and shouted, punched and kicked, hugged one another’s waist and threw each other to the ground…
The battle was in a stalemate for more than ten minutes, and no victor had been decided.
At this moment, a few small cars were parked in a row nearby.
Seven to eight people alighted from the cars, led by Division Chief Li and Reporter Liu.
They led the others towards the lively field. They did not inform the people from Shanbai Village to welcome them. They wanted to launch a sudden attack so that the people from Shanbai Village would not have time to fix their loopholes.
When they arrived at the field, they were shocked by the crowd.
The news of their arrival was a secret. The people from Shanbai Village should not know. Why were there so many people coming to welcome them?
They stood silently as they were squeezed into the crowd. No one paid attention to them. All of them were staring at the battle in front.
Reporter Liu asked the spectator beside him, “What are they doing? Are they fighting?”
Wang Meng nibbled on the steamed bun as he replied, “They’re having physical training!”
Division Chief Li and the rest all stared at the chaotic crowd with a dumbfounded look.
Physical training? Training through fighting?
Reporter Liu got the photographer to take some photos. When the time comes, it could be used as a negative example—A brawl in the Shanbai Village!
The men’s battle ended and it was time for the women’s team.
Wang Meng thought that the following battle would not be as intense as before.
In the end, he was utterly wrong.
As soon as Sun Chengfu threw the ball down, the women became embroiled in a chaotic battle. They pushed each other and tripped each other. When they really could not snatch the ball, they immediately started pulling on their clothes, pulling their hair, and grabbing one another’s faces. They used all kinds of methods.
The girl that Wang Meng had been paying attention to was also fighting with all her might, not holding back at all.
He couldn’t help but ask Xie Zhou, who was beside him, “Hey, Big Brother, that girl with a ponytail and a red headdress flower is from your village, right? Is she married? Does she have a partner?”
Xie Zhou took a look and said, “She’s not married and doesn’t have a partner. However, it won’t be easy to marry the girls in our village.”
Following the change in the Shanbai Village, this place had become an enviable place. Most of the Shanbai Village’s bachelors who could not get a wife had gotten married. The matchmaker had even broken through the threshold of the Shanbai Village’s ladies’ families. They were all here to propose to the Shanbai Village ladies. Hence, they had higher expectations for the people who came to propose.
Wang Meng was very happy. “I know. I will work hard.”
When Division Chief Li heard the sound, he casually glanced at Xie Zhou.
In the chaotic battle, someone’s shoes flew out and into the crowd.
Wang Meng, who was standing in the front row, almost dropped the steamed bun in shock.
In the end, the shoe landed on the head of Division Chief Li, who was standing beside Wang Meng.
Division Chief Li was so angry that he wanted to scold them. However, looking at the group of valiant women on the court, he eventually didn’t say anything.
Sun Chengfu was standing on the high stage. When he saw this scene, he immediately went down to welcome them.
He had seen many leaders during this period of time and had good eyesight. Those leaders were all here to inspect the coal mine in Shanbai Village. Therefore, he was not too surprised to see Division Chief Li and the rest.
Sun Chengfu smiled and shook hands with Division Chief Li. “Leaders, why didn’t you give us a heads up before you came over? That way, we could have properly welcomed you!”
Division Chief Li shook his hand for a moment with a serious expression. Reporter Liu who was at the side said, “This is Division Chief Li from the coal mine bureau. I’m a reporter from the television station. We are here to check on the security situation in Shanbai Village!”
