The opening of the kiln in the brick factory was an exciting day for all members of the Nanxi Brigade.
The whole village, men, women, old and young, came out in full force and gathered at the foot of the mountain before the sun rose. It was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. It was very lively.
Before the kiln was opened, Lin Meiru took a powerful position in the middle with freshly baked gossip, and asked everyone she met: "Did you hear that there was an evil woman in the brigade next door a few days ago, and she was arrested for abandoning her newborn daughter? ?"
Hearing this, everyone's gossip radar was instantly activated.
"Is there still such a thing?"
"Lin Meiru, please explain to us quickly."
"We all want to hear it. Where's the captain's trumpet? Give it to Lin Meiru."
Cat winter is the most boring time of the year. There are no other entertainment activities at this time, and gossip is the biggest spice in ordinary life.
Lin Meiru's waist straightened up instantly: "That woman had given birth to six girls one after another, and she had always wanted to have a son. The whole village said that this baby was a son. When the family heard about it, they tightened their belts and provided the pregnant woman with an egg every day. Nutrition, who would have thought that after giving birth to a daughter, she would just get the seven fairies."
Everyone sighed.
It is a deep-rooted thought to have a son to carry on the family line. No matter how good a daughter is, she is a loser, and she gave birth to seven in one go.
An elderly man in the village commented: "That woman committed evil in her previous life and was unable to give birth to a son."
Someone immediately objected: "Old lady, whether or not to have a son is also a man's business, what if it's a man's seed that doesn't work?
"Yes, it's just like farming. If you want a pumpkin, you can't put carrot seeds in it, right?"
Hearing two completely different voices, Jiang Anan nodded with satisfaction. The effect of the last skit was indeed good.
She gave her mother an encouraging look.
Lin Meiru became even more disgusting, and began to brag shamelessly: "What's wrong with having a daughter? Look at my first three daughters who married well, and their sons-in-law were sensible, and they were always very filial during the New Year and festivals. And An'an, she's young. At best, he is an officer of the Women's Federation."
Jiang An'an: "..."
Other members: "..."
Fortunately, Lin Meiru kept her mission in mind and changed her voice: "It's a pity that there are too few far-sighted women like me. The pregnant woman was also cruel. On the second day after the birth, she took advantage of the fact that the whole family was not paying attention and threw the baby on the mountain to feed the wolves. "
"Is there such a cruel mother in the world?"
"What happened to my daughter? After all, she is also a human life."
"That vicious woman deserves to be arrested. The police did a good job."
The Nanxi Brigade has been well fed and clothed over the years. Although some families often rub their daughters against each other, they can still eat a mouthful of food and not starve to death, let alone throw away their children and other ruthless things.
In order to move the red flag, Luo Jiawang was the first to avoid the other party, and the saliva of the members could drown people.
"Legally, abandonment and abuse are serious crimes that lead to jail time. If the baby is really eaten by wolves or freezes to death, it is intentional murder and you will be shot." Lin Meiru glanced at the young and old women at the scene, "I heard Wu The police said that abusing children is also a crime, and serious cases must be punished by law."
There was no one who didn't have one or two money-losing products, and the members collectively turned pale.
"If you ask me, you are still stupid. Your daughter is so considerate. You treat her better at home and send her to school. In the future, she will work in a factory and eat commercial food. Why can't she repay her parents? That is to say, you are short-sighted and think of treating your daughter Sell it to earn one or two yuan as a gift."
Her family, An An, said that it was useless to talk rationally to the villagers. They had to make them feel that they could make money and profit. Because the ideas instilled by our ancestors are difficult to change, it is better to reform the next generation.
If it were anyone else who would have been sprayed with blood, but Lin Meiru has raised four successful girls, who in the Nanxi Brigade wouldn't be jealous of the Jiang family?
Zhou Yinghuai heard Xian Zhi's intention and took the opportunity to speak: "The brick factory also gives priority to women who can read when recruiting clerks."
As soon as this statement came out, the members were completely moved.
Especially the unmarried girls, all of whom were so excited that their cheeks turned red.
They could vaguely feel that after today, life at home might be better. More importantly, they also have the opportunity to learn to be workers, just like Jiang Anan!
Some people regretted it so much that they murmured: "But now it's too late to pay compensation... and let my daughter study."
"There's enough time." Jiang An'an said with a smile: "The educated youth can teach us to study and open literacy classes, as long as we can read and count. But in return, everyone can think about what we can use to repay the educated youth?"
The members were lost in thought.
Lin Meiru couldn't stand it and said bluntly: "The houses in the educated youth spots often leak air, the roofs need to be repaired, and there is not enough rice, grain and vegetables..."
The members were enlightened and showed positive performance.
"I'll ask my guy to repair the roof for the educated youth later."
"My vegetable garden has a bumper harvest this year, and I will give some baskets to the educated youth soon."
"It's so uncomfortable for the educated youths to be crowded together. Let's go up to the mountains and cut down trees to expand your dormitories."
…
Educated youths are indeed troubled by these trivial things, especially in winter when the weather is getting colder and colder, and they are often woken up by the wind in the middle of the night.
Since taking charge of the party and participating in the construction of the brick factory, Yang Qing has become the leader of the educated youth point. She bowed to everyone: "Thank you folks, don't worry, we will try our best to teach everyone."
Seeing this, the awkwardness and reluctance in the members' hearts disappeared without a trace. The more they looked at the educated youths, the more satisfied they became, feeling that they had found a treasure.
At this moment, Accountant Huang held up a loudspeaker and shouted: "Director Chen and Secretary Yang are here. Everyone is welcome."
The members applauded and all turned their heads to look at the path.
The leaders of the commune were walking towards this direction under the leadership of Luo Jiawang, and were about to witness the opening of the kiln with them. Everyone felt a sense of pride in their hearts, and they were even more grateful for the contributions that the educated youths had made to the team.
"You are an amazing boy, you lead the team members so well!" Chen Xingtong also did not expect that the Nanxi Brigade would drop a bombshell silently.
The Hongguang Commune Brick Factory was organized and built by the county, and it took more than half a year to build the brick factory. The Nanxi Brigade was a group of educated youths, led by Zhou Yinghuai.
Luo Jiawang smiled so hard that he grinned to the back of his head and praised: "It's all thanks to the educated youth comrades. The brigade provided the venue. Even the money for the brick kiln experiment was advanced by their own joint venture."
"Really?" Secretary Yang raised the glasses on the bridge of his nose, inspiring: "You have truly achieved the meaning of educated youth going to the countryside. You have used your passion and knowledge to change the closed and backward appearance of the countryside. In this rural area, There is a lot of potential in this vast world.”
All the educated youth present stood proudly.
Not all of them went to the countryside to build the motherland with passion, but they were unable to find jobs in the city and were forced to transfer here.
But at this moment, everyone is full of ambition and enthusiasm.
All thanks to Zhou Yinghuai’s educated youth!
