Chapter 657: Educated Youth Arrives at Dawang Village

Bang Geng still left.

Before leaving, he didn't speak to Jia Zhang for two days and three nights.

The entire Jia family was shrouded in gloom.

Qin Huairu also hadn't been to work for two days. Knowing that she was going to the Northeast, she spent a lot of money and customized a thick cotton coat and quilt overnight, which was delivered to the car on time.

After this group of people left, the entire capital seemed to become much quieter.

The number of people on the streets was noticeably sparse, and events such as criticism and parades were also significantly reduced.

All signs seem to indicate that this strong wind will soon end.

In fact, it is almost the same. The old man has already expressed his intention to call a halt, and strengthening unity and resuming production have become the main theme for ordinary people.

But this only applies to city residents.

In the countryside, most farmers are still worried about the educated youth who went to the countryside.

Among them, Dawang Village is the one that causes more than just ordinary troubles.

That afternoon, someone from the commune came in person, driving a car, followed by a large truck, and drove directly into the village committee compound.

This posture immediately attracted the attention of the whole village.

Two of the commune's top leaders came, and sixteen figures wearing green military uniforms and green military caps got off the truck, with packages behind them, all in the military uniform.

If you don’t know, you might think he was someone from the army.

"Secretary Sun, are you going too far?"

Wang Dexing hurried back from the farm and got angry when he saw so many people.

Secretary Sun was also a little embarrassed and pulled Wang Dexing aside.

"Old Wang, there is no other way. The pressure from above is quite great. I have no choice. There are too many educated youth going to the countryside and I can't arrange them all. Our village has good conditions and those who are capable should do more work. I will just take on more responsibilities."

“Is this a question of tolerance?”

Wang Dexing was a little anxious.

"There are about 200 people in our village. You have arranged for 20 young soldiers to come here. It is obvious that you want them to come and enjoy the good life. This will delay our production."

"Oh, you can't say that."

Secretary Sun put his arm around Wang Dexing's shoulders and continued, "It's true that the pressure is high now, but to tell you the truth, these sixteen people won't be able to stay for two years. Their families will have to arrange for them to serve in the army. Coming to our side is just a formality.

And they are all related. If you take good care of them and leave some incense and love, it will be good for the future development of our village. Isn't that right?"

"You should give this incense to other villages. We don't need it. The village is so small and there is so much work to do. How can we give them work? If they have nothing to do and then destroy our farms and greenhouses, who can we complain to?"

"No, no, Lao Wang, don't worry. If they mess up, just send them to the commune and I'll deal with them myself, okay?"

"Secretary Sun, please don't make things difficult for me. When people join the production team, they send the educated youth to the most difficult places. Why send them to our village? Aren't you afraid of what others will say?

Besides, there are only three or five educated youth in the surrounding villages. If you force us to have sixteen at once, even if I agree, the villagers will not agree. So, keep six and take the rest back."

Seeing that Wang Dexing still insisted, Secretary Sun had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Old Wang, we are old acquaintances. Without your support, I can't become the official secretary. I'm not lying to you. These 16 people were nominated by the higher-ups to be stuffed into our village. I really have no choice. Even if I could, I wouldn't come here in person.

So, if you have any request, just ask, and I will do whatever I can for you."

Things have come to this point, Wang Dexing cannot but give face.

"Did I really mention that?"

"You mention it, whatever you want."

Secretary Sun covered his chest with his hands, ready to face Wang Dexing's fierce attack.

Wang Dexing thought about it.

"These sixteen people must have a place to live. One hundred and twenty thousand bricks are needed."

"Four large tiled houses, or six if you save some money. Are they for them to live in, or for the villagers?"

"It's none of my business. Do you approve it or not?"

"Approved! Definitely approved!"

While the two were still discussing, the newly arrived educated youth had already been dazzled by Dawang Village.

Although they had always lived in the city, they had some understanding of the countryside, especially during this journey, which made them full of worries about the next few years.

But after seeing the situation in Dawang Village, they began to doubt whether they had come to a fake village.

First of all, let’s talk about the villagers. Everyone in Dawang Village is energetic and has rosy faces. There are also a few fat kids who look so fat that they can’t be kept fat even with poor food.

Speaking of clothing, every village we saw along the way was full of patches. In Dawang Village, the men's clothes were basically patched, but very few, while the women rarely had patches, especially the young wives, who dressed brightly and beautifully, no worse than the women in the city.

Then there are the houses. There are many thatched houses in the villages along the way, which are uneven and look very dilapidated. In Dawang Village, there are also many thatched houses, but most of them are newly built houses. There are also several brick houses in the middle. Judging from their location, they are obviously planned.

"Have you noticed that there are very few elderly people and children in the village?"

One of the male educated youth asked.

"Oh, it really is. Didn't it come out?"

"It shouldn't be."

"Who cares? Anyway, judging by the situation, we won't suffer here."

"I knew it long ago. My dad told me it was a good place before I came here."

"My mom also told me, hehe."

"There are actually horses in this village, and quite a few of them, do you see?"

When a few people heard the sound, they looked and saw four people riding four horses on a mountain road in the distance, running towards this side, followed by a group of dogs.

"The hunting party is back."

When the villagers heard the dogs barking, they stopped watching the group of educated youth and walked towards the back entrance of the village.

After a while, the hunting team arrived at the village committee surrounded by villagers.

At this time, Wang Dexing and Secretary Sun had almost finished their discussion and walked over together.

"How is everything? Is everything okay in the back mountain?" Wang Dexing asked with concern.

"There are already traces of wild boars, but not too many. We must hunt them in the fall, otherwise they will definitely attract wild animals. We caught some rabbits and released them in the back mountain." said Wang Siwa, the leader of the hunting team.

"Okay, just make the arrangements as you see fit. Don't let those beasts cause harm to our farm."

After Wang Dexing finished speaking, he clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

"Everyone, listen to me. Secretary Sun has sent us 16 educated youths. From now on, these educated youths will be members of our Dawang Village. Everyone welcomes them and let's chat together."

"it is good."

As Wang Dexing and Secretary Sun applauded, the villagers also clapped their hands.

It's just sparse and not very enthusiastic.

Dawang Village is a clan-style village. While it is united, it is also naturally xenophobic.

As the village chief, Wang Dexing is also well aware of this.

After the applause died down, he continued: "The village needs to build and develop, and both require manpower. The presence of so many educated youth is a support for our village. Don't have any prejudices.

The key is that this is national policy, and we cannot cause trouble, do you understand?"

The villagers looked at each other, and most of them understood what the village chief meant.

What construction and development? These are all empty words.

The most important thing is not to cause trouble and don’t create any problems for Wang Tiedan.

If he could refuse, Wang Dexing would have refused long ago, let alone this kind of job.

At this moment, one of the educated youth, at some point, hugged a dog, his expression full of surprise.

"Wei Jun, this is a girl, definitely a girl, I definitely didn't make a mistake!"
