Era: Winning since educated youth went to the countryside

"Captain, how could you do this? We didn't do anything wrong."

Jiang Xiaohong was terrified when she heard that she was going to be punished. She didn't expect that she would get such a result just because she wanted to fight for some benefits for herself.

Tears welled up in her eyes and her voice trembled a little. "We just hope to get better treatment. We educated youth are also human beings and have our own rights."

Her pitiful appearance made the educated youth standing with her feel indignant.

"Captain, we just want to fight for the rights we deserve. What's wrong with that?" An educated youth who stood with Jiang Xiaohong said courageously.

"Yes, we educated youth also have dignity. We are not here to suffer." Another educated youth echoed.

These educated youth were already fascinated by Jiang Xiaohong's pitiful appearance.

But the villagers didn't buy it.

"You educated youth have dignity, but do we farmers have no dignity? Do you think you are here to be the bosses?" a villager said angrily.

"That's right. You educated youth can't endure any hardship, yet you still want this and that. It's wishful thinking." Another villager also said dissatisfiedly.

"That's not what we meant. We just want to be treated fairly," Jiang Xiaohong defended.

"Fairness? After you educated youth came here, your food and shelter were all provided by us villagers through our frugal savings. What kind of fairness do you still want?" said an older villager with great sorrow.

"Do you think farming is an easy job? Let me tell you, without the hard work of farmers like us, you wouldn't even have enough food to eat." A villager who looked stronger said angrily.

"Okay, stop talking." The captain waved his hand to stop the villagers' angry condemnation.

He looked at Jiang Xiaohong and other educated youth coldly and said, "You educated youth went to the countryside to receive re-education, not to enjoy life. If you can't realize this, then you are not suitable to stay here."

"I will record your actions truthfully in your files. I believe that the Youth Office will give you a satisfactory answer."

"If you want fairness and treatment, you can go to the Youth League Office. I believe they will be happy to arrange jobs for you."

Having said that, the captain smiled coldly.

Originally, he didn't want to repatriate these educated youth. After all, if they did, the Youth Institute would definitely arrange for more educated youth to come.

Rather than accepting more educated youth, it is better to maintain the status quo.

After all, these educated youth are all young people, and he is quite experienced in dealing with them.

"Captain, we were wrong. We will never dare to do it again." When Jiang Xiaohong heard that her actions would be recorded in the file, she turned pale with fright.

The records in the archives are very important to the educated youth, as they are not only related to the evaluation of their performance in the countryside, but may also affect their opportunities to return to the city in the future.

"Yes, captain, we really know we were wrong. We will work hard in the future and will not make these requests again." The other educated youth also begged for mercy.

"Captain, we were just confused for a moment. Please forgive us this time." An educated youth said in a crying voice.

"We promise that we will accept re-education in the future and will not have any unreasonable thoughts anymore." Another educated youth also hurriedly promised.

Seeing these educated youth in panic, the captain's expression eased a little.

"Since you have realized your mistake, accept the punishment! If it happens again, it won't be as simple as deducting work points," the team leader warned sternly.

"Yes, Captain, we will remember it." The educated youth nodded one after another.

Compared with being sent back to the Youth League Office, they felt that this punishment was not bad.

It's just a little dirty and tiring! Just bear with it and it will pass.

If I were sent back to the Youth League Office, it would be difficult to deal with.

According to their understanding, the results for all those who were sent back to the Youth League Office were not very good.

"Oh, by the way, everyone whose name is on this petition should go back and write a self-criticism, and do it in public in the threshing ground tomorrow."

The captain said lightly.

These guys want to cause trouble. If they are not severely punished, others will definitely follow suit in the future.

"Ah? We have to make a self-criticism in public?" Jiang Xiaohong and other educated youth turned pale after hearing the captain's words.

To them, making a public self-criticism was a great humiliation. "What? You don't want to? Then you can continue to make trouble until I am satisfied." The captain sneered.

"No, no, no, we are willing. We will definitely write a self-criticism and make it in public tomorrow." Jiang Xiaohong and other educated youth hurriedly assured.

They knew that now was not the time to bargain. If they angered the captain again, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Okay, get to work!" The captain waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.

The educated youth dispersed quickly as if they had been pardoned, each one of them dejected and with their previous arrogance completely gone.

The villagers looked at their departing backs and shook their heads.

"These educated youth are really ignorant. The captain has been tolerant enough towards them."

"That's right, you don't even know where you are. You really think you are the boss."

"It seems that the captain's punishment this time is still too light. It should be more severe so that they will remember it."

The villagers discussed in low voices and were very dissatisfied with the behavior of the educated youth.

Jiang Xiaohong and other educated youth came to the pig farm with heavy hearts, ready to accept punishment.

They knew that this incident would become a stain in their lives.

"Xiaohong, what do you think we should do?" asked an educated youth who participated in the petition with a sad face.

"Yes, Xiaohong, you are the one who took the lead in this matter. You have to think of a solution!" another educated youth said anxiously.

Jiang Xiaohong's face also looked ugly. She didn't expect things to develop to this point.

"What else can we do? We can only do as the captain says." Jiang Xiaohong said helplessly.

"But it's too embarrassing to make a self-criticism in public," said a female educated youth in tears.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Who made us do something wrong? We can only blame ourselves for being blind and provoking the wrong people." Jiang Xiaohong sighed.

"Okay, don't be too sad, let's just take this as a lesson! In the future we must keep a low profile and not cause trouble again." Jiang Xiaohong consoled.

After hearing what Jiang Xiaohong said, the educated youth nodded one after another.

They knew that this incident was indeed their own fault.

The pig farm didn't smell very good, and they couldn't help frowning when they first arrived here.

Inside the pig farm, the mixed smell of pig manure and feed hit the nose directly, forcing Jiang Xiaohong and other educated youth to cover their noses.

"Everyone, get ready to work. Don't forget, we have a mission today." An educated youth reminded.

Although they were extremely reluctant, the educated youth still gritted their teeth, picked up the shovels, and started cleaning the pigpen.

"Oh, the smell of pig manure is really strong." An educated youth complained while shoveling pig manure.

"Yes, I've never done such dirty work before." Another educated youth said with a bitter face.

"Just bear with it. It's our fault for making the mistake." Jiang Xiaohong wiped the sweat from her forehead and said helplessly.

"Xiaohong, do you think we really have to review ourselves in public tomorrow?" a female educated youth asked worriedly.

"The captain has said it. What else can we do? We can only do as he says." Jiang Xiaohong sighed.

"But this is really too embarrassing." The female educated youth had red eyes and seemed like she would cry at any time.

"It's better to be embarrassed than to be deported. Don't you think about what will be left in our files if we are deported? How can we return to the city in the future?" Jiang Xiaohong advised.

After hearing what Jiang Xiaohong said, the educated youth fell silent.

They knew that Jiang Xiaohong was telling the truth. Although it was embarrassing to make a self-criticism in public, it was already good compared to the bad record in the file.

"Okay, everyone, work harder, finish the work early, and go home early." Jiang Xiaohong cheered up and encouraged everyone. (End of this chapter)
