Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 359

After the work was over, Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu read their textbooks for a few hours, then changed their clothes and left the space. By the time they came out, fifteen minutes had passed and both of them were lying on the bed taking a nap.

At eight o’clock in the evening, they heard a knock on the door. Lu Jueyu went to open the door and was surprised to see Chen Anwen and Wang Muxiao standing with Pan Meijia and Zhang Dongmei.

Seeing her surprised look, Pan Meijia said, "Jueyu, I was caught by your mother and your sister-in-law when I left. Your mother is worried since I go out alone with Brother Yun, so I can only take them with me."

Hearing her words, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "It would be nice if there were more people. This way we can complete the task faster."

They were relieved to see that she was not angry. Because they came uninvited, both Chen Anwen and Wang Muxiao felt a little embarrassed. If Mother Lu hadn’t asked them to accompany Pan Meijia, they wouldn’t have come uninvited.

Lu Jueyu knew that her mother was worried that Pan Meijia would encounter the same thing as her before. That’s why she asked her daughters-in-law to come with Pan Meijia. After all, it was already eight o’clock in the evening, and it would not be good for one’s reputation if an unmarried woman went out alone with a man. Since she can think of Mother Lu’s reasons, Pan Meijia can also think of them.

After locking the door, they walked to the backyard. In three days it will be the Qingming Festival. But due to government regulations, they are prohibited from celebrating festivals or visiting tombs to pay homage to their ancestors.

Based on her memories of history, the death of the Premier Zhou Enlai on January 8, 1976, prompted the Tiananmen incident.

For several years before his death, Comrade Zhou was involved in a political power struggle against other senior leaders in the Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party, with Comrade Zhou’s most visible and powerful antagonists being the four senior members who came to be called the Gang of Four.

To defuse an expected popular outpouring of sentiment at Comrade Zhou’s death, the Chinese Communist Party limited the period of public mourning.

On April 4, 1976, on the eve of the Qingming festival, thousands gathered around the Monument to the People’s Heroes in Tiananmen Square to commemorate the life and death of Zhou Enlai by laying wreaths, banners, poems, placards, and flowers at the foot of the monument.

The most obvious purpose of this memorial was to eulogize Premier Zhou, but some leaders were also attacked for their alleged evil actions against the Premier. A small number of slogans left at Tiananmen even attack Comrade Mao himself, and his Cultural Revolution.

Up to two million people may have visited Tiananmen Square on April 4. First-hand observations of the event report that all levels of society, from the poorest peasants to high-ranking PLA officers and the children of high-ranking cadres, were represented in the activities.

Those who participated were motivated by a mixture of anger over the treatment of Premier Zhou, revolt against Comrade Mao and his policies, apprehension for China’s future, and defiance of those who would seek to punish the public for commemorating Zhou’s memory.
