Chapter 184: The lickspittle and the rough man in the period literature (3)
"Hello, Village Chief Jiang, Hello, Captain Jiang."
"Hello, Village Chief Jiang, Hello, Captain Jiang."
...
The educated youth had smiles on their faces, having no idea how painful their future lives would be.
This time, a total of six educated youth came to Qing'an Village, including two women and four men. In addition, there were already four old educated youth in the educated youth site, two men and two women. In total, there were ten educated youth in Qing'an Village.
Village Chief Jiang, Jiang Zui's father, Jiang Danian, saw that all the educated youth had arrived. He called out their names and found that there were enough people. He sighed deeply and said to the educated youth:
"Since you are assigned to Qing'an Village, I hope you can work hard."
What the second half of the sentence didn’t say was, don’t hold their village back.
Qing'an Village is the second poorest village in Lintai County. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the mountain roads are rugged and uneven. Qing'an Village is at the foot of the mountain, far away from the county.
The only way to connect Qing'an Village to Lintai County is by tractor.
Jiang Cheng, the team leader of Qing'an Village, is the only technician in the area who can repair tractors. Jiang Cheng got a nearly scrapped tractor from the county. After his own modifications, the tractor is very broken and noisy, but can still be driven.
Jiang Cheng took this opportunity to become the captain of Qing'an Village.
The group of newly arrived educated youth in front of us came back riding on the broken tractor driven by Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Danian said in a cold tone: "Tomorrow, you will follow Wang Bo to open up wasteland."
As soon as Jiang Danian said this, he was questioned by others, "Village head, what time do we have to go to the fields? What kind of work do we have to do? And how are our work points arranged?"
The person who asked this question was named Sun Jie, a newly arrived female educated youth. She had a fair and clean face, bright eyes and white teeth. She was a child who had been brought up in pampering. She didn't expect that she would go to the countryside. Jiang Danian felt a little conflicted when he thought about the two telegrams he had received.
Before the educated youth arrived, Jiang Danian had already received a telegram asking him to take better care of Sun Jie and Gu Chaoyu.
Sun Jie's situation is slightly similar to Gu Chaoyu's, but not entirely. Sun Jie insisted on going to the countryside purely out of curiosity. The same thing is that Sun Jie's family and Gu Chaoyu's family tried to stop her again and again, but failed.
Since we can't stop it, we have no choice but to let it go.
But it's not that they just leave it alone. Instead, they secretly ask the village officials to help look after it.
"Our current job is to open up new land. There is no time limit, but everyone will receive their own workload. If the workload for the day is not completed, there will be no work points.
As for the settlement of work points, there will be people who are responsible for recording the work points. However, I would like to give you a piece of advice: do not be sneaky or do any small things behind the scenes.
We in Qing'an Village must work together and absolutely do not allow any random rumors to appear. Otherwise, I will call the police without further ado."
Jiang Danian had a cold expression and darkness in his eyes as he looked at the educated youth in front of him. He had some beard at the corners of his mouth and a strong body that had been trained through years of hard work, making him look very impressive.
But even though the onlookers were frightened, there were still two of the new educated youth who were not afraid.
Even when Jiang Danian was speaking, they looked indifferent, as if the matter had nothing to do with them. They were laughing and whispering to each other.
Jiang Danian fixed his eyes on Song Jiarui and Li Lang, and said calmly, "Comrades, what do you think?"
"No problem." Li Lang replied calmly.
"No problem? No problem, what are you talking about with the person next to you?
If you have any dissatisfaction, you can just speak it out in front of everyone."
Jiang Danian was already worried because there were more educated youth in Qing'an Village than in other villages. Even Qingquan Village, which had always been at the bottom of the list, had only seven educated youth, but their Qing'an Village had ten, a full ten.
He couldn't imagine that this year Qing'an Village might surpass Qingquan Village and become the last village.
Every year, Lintai County holds a summary meeting, and the villages under Lintai County will compete to see who produces more grain. The villages will be ranked, and the first one will not only receive rewards from the county.
And they also give priority support to the village. For example, Jiang Danian has been managing the village more and more strictly in recent years. The reason is that Jiang Danian wants to get first place and let the county allocate funds to build roads for them.
Several villages have already been paved with cement roads, but the road construction in Qing'an Village is still a long way off, or even hopeless.
The educated youth were all children from the city. They had no strength, could not do anything, and could not do anything, let alone work in the fields.
When the first batch of educated youth arrived a few years ago, they were very happy because a new group of labor force had arrived.
It was not until we got to know each other that I realized how terrible those educated youth were.
Especially now, among the ten educated youth, two are uncles, and the superiors ask him to help take care of them.
Humph! What the hell, help take care of it! ?
He didn't want to help at all.
But... he is a low-ranking official...
Hey…
Song Mingrui looked condescending and said to Jiang Danian with disdain, "Opinions? Of course I do.
We are educated youth, we have all been to school, and you want us to dig the ground? How can this be justified?"
Because of his parents' background, Song Mingrui was forced to go to the countryside, and even this path was carefully chosen for him by his parents.
Who would have thought that Song Mingrui was not grateful at all, but was angry at his parents. Why are they teachers? Why do they have to teach?
But he never thought about how he could have grown up in the city if his parents were not teachers?
In short, Song Mingrui didn't want to go to the countryside, but was forced by his family to "escape the disaster."
I was in an unexpected mood, and an idea suddenly came to my mind: if I acted recklessly here, would the people here let me go back?
When Song Mingrui thought of this, the scene before him appeared.
"Humph!" Jiang Da-nian snorted, "Sent-down Youth? You know you are sent-down youth. If you are sent-down youth, you should be more considerate of the common people. I heard that this group of sent-down youth has a very high level of consciousness. Now it seems that it is a bit exaggerated."
Jiang Danian said with a mocking tone: "Song Mingrui, since you are here, you must obey orders."
"But... I won't do it anyway. Whoever wants to dig the ground can do it." Song Mingrui looked like a child throwing a tantrum, but Jiang Danian was not his father. "If you don't want to work, then don't do it. Hearing this, the remaining educated youth's pupils widened instantly, and they stared at Jiang Danian with a look of shock in their eyes.
Jiang Danian faced everyone's gaze and said, "Our village is the most democratic.
All of you educated youth are from the city and have never been to the countryside. I know you may not do well at first, but practice makes perfect. Just learn more.
But if you throw a tantrum in front of me and act like a scoundrel, I will report you directly to the commune, and then the commune will report you to the county. As for what punishment you will receive in the end, I don’t know.”
After a pause, he continued, "Also, we only have food if we work, so if we don't work, there will be no food."
After saying that, Jiang Danian slapped him in the face and gave him a sweet date, saying: "Today is your first day in Qing'an Village. I don't ask you to do anything. How about this, I will give you a day off tomorrow, and you will officially start working the day after tomorrow.
The duration is half a month. During this half month, I will assign an easier task to the person who performs the best in public."
Jiang Danian's words caused the crowd to shout, and they all said in dissatisfaction: "Village head, why do you arrange simple tasks for the educated youth?"
“We also want to do simple work.”
"Yes, village chief, you can't be biased."
The old educated youth were no longer surprised by this, but the new educated youth were all very surprised.
