Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

Chapter 171 The New Young Man in the Production Team

From this point of view, Fang Wei and Team 2 are smarter.

Since it is something that cannot be avoided anyway, it is better to prepare early to avoid being in such a hurry like now.

After the meeting, the leaders of each production team went to the brigade.

"Captain Fang, we will assign 32 educated youth to your team. They are not from this county. I hope you can help and care for them to the best of your ability."

Wei Guanghua assigned the educated youth who went to the countryside according to the conditions of each production team.

The second team needs to accept 32 people, which is not the largest number, but not a small number either.

Fang Wei and Zheng Hu didn't say anything and expressed their willingness to accept.

The overall situation in the Xiatang Brigade was good, so there was no haggling over the number of people assigned. But the production teams in other communes were not so peaceful. I heard that there were fierce arguments and no one wanted to take in any more people.

"Secretary Wei, when will the educated youth arrive?"

Fang Wei was about to go back, and before leaving he asked about the arrival time of the personnel.

Wei Guanghua said that they would arrive within three days and hoped that everyone would be prepared in advance.

If there is no place to accommodate these educated youth, they will be temporarily placed in the homes of members and a solution will be found later.

Fang Wei and Zheng Hu turned around and left. Team 2 didn't have this problem as the dormitory had already been built in advance.

three days later.

Zhao Jinsheng and Zheng Bao went to the commune early in the morning to pick up people. The 32 educated youth had to be checked and then the settlement procedures were completed in the commune.

The registered residences of these educated youth were all assigned to the collective households of the production teams, forcing them to stay in the countryside. It was no use running back halfway; the city no longer had registered residences, and rationing had been abolished, so they couldn't stay there.

"Everyone get in the car. If you move quickly, you can still make it in time for lunch."

Zhao Jinsheng asked everyone to get on the tractor. In order to pick them up, the team sent two large tractors.

The educated youth seemed very excited. They didn't expect that this once impoverished county was not as bad as they had imagined. There were even large tractors.

After everyone got on the bus, a short girl wearing glasses called out, "Classmates, we must all face new challenges with a positive spirit. Let's sing a song."

This little girl is called Jiang Xia. She came from Chenzhou. You can tell at a glance that she must have been a student leader.

Under her leadership, the students began to sing in chorus, and the atmosphere was quite good.

The tractor was rumbling forward. Zhao Jinsheng looked at the energetic and youthful faces and couldn't help but sigh.

The older students here have already graduated from high school, there are also students in the first and second year of high school, and even junior high school students.

The person who left a deep impression on him the moment they met was the little girl named Jiang Xia.

The group returned to Team 2, where Fang Wei, Zheng Hu and others were already waiting in the dormitory.

"Hello, classmates! Welcome to Team 2. I'm Fang Wei, the production team leader of Team 2. If you encounter any difficulties in production or life in the future, you can come to me."

Fang Wei spoke briefly on behalf of Team 2, and then asked Zheng Hu to assign rooms to them.

It is definitely not possible to have a single room per person, but a double room, a triple room or at most a quadruple room is possible.

"Captain Fang, you guys are so thoughtful. I thought I was just a new arrival staying at a member's house."

Jiang Xia is thin and small, but has strong social skills.

He had just arrived at the second team and immediately took the opportunity to talk to Fang Wei.

“We had already heard that the students were going to join the team, so we took advantage of the slack season to build two rows of dormitories.

Your name is Jiang Xia, right? Since we're not familiar with each other yet, you'll be the temporary leader of the educated youth group."

Fang Wei was originally worried about who to appoint as the temporary leader of this group of educated youth.
As a result, Jiang Xia stepped forward at the right time, so let her try it first.

"Yes! Promise to complete the mission."

The girl made the promise and then went to her dormitory with a smile on her face.

Zheng Hu arranged dormitories and meals for them, and Fang Wei turned around and went home.

These young people are in high spirits, and I wonder if they can adapt to the days ahead.

"Third brother, the educated youth brought everything they needed. I even saw some bring pots. Some of them are only fifteen or sixteen years old. Can they leave their families and come to the countryside?"

Fang Wei has been busy and is only having lunch now.

Pan Lianhua ate and talked to him at the same time.

"I'll bring some people to help them chop some firewood this afternoon and give them some advances on food, cooking oil, and other things. I don't know if they can cook, so I'll have to go check on them later."

Zheng Hu arranged for someone to prepare lunch at noon, so the educated youth could eat ready-made food when they arrived.

The problem is what to do in the future. It is impossible for someone to help them cook every day.

Fang Weiyi felt a headache just thinking about it. These things had to be sorted out slowly. With more than 30 mouths to feed at once, he would need to be busy for a while.

"Why don't we just let them go to the homes of the other members and eat together? It's really pitiful to have so many little ones like that."

Pan Lianhua has become much softer-hearted since she became a mother, and is still worried about those educated youth.

Fang Wei shook his head and said nothing. This matter was handled by Zheng Hu, and he was too lazy to express his opinion.

in the afternoon.

Zheng Hu arranged for people to take the educated youth to fetch water and chop firewood. On the one hand, it was to familiarize them with the environment, and on the other hand, it was to secretly observe them to see what their labor skills and life skills were like.

Fang Wei also went over to take a look. The performance of these young people was better than expected. At least they were able to complete the tasks of fetching water and chopping wood.

"Classmates, I suggest you all get together and eat together. My sister said that cooking for one person is the hardest. If three or five of us who get along well get together and eat together, we can save money."

After fetching water and chopping firewood, Jiang Xia called everyone together to discuss.

Some of them can cook and some cannot. Those who are close to each other can cook together, and if everyone helps, they won’t be unable to cook a meal.

Jiang Xia's proposal received a warm response from the educated youth. This kind of thing cannot be forced. First of all, they have to get along well before they can eat together.

Zheng Hu was originally worried about their food problem, but when he heard that they had set up several mutual aid groups, he put his worries aside.

"Jiang Xia, organize everyone to come and collect the things. The rice and oil are all advanced to you. When you earn work points later, they will be directly deducted from them."

Because preparations were made in advance, some honeycomb coal was left for them.

In a word, Fang Wei and others have considered everything they can for them, and all they can do is to keep them from going hungry or freezing, which is naturally far worse than their life at home.

night.

Smoke was rising from the educated youth dormitory. Fang Wei went over to take a look. These young people were pretty good. At least they could eat steaming hot cooked food.

the next day.

Zheng Hu personally led the educated youth to dredge the canal. After a day's work, the smiles on many people's faces disappeared.

After all, they weren't the type to do manual labor year-round, so blisters formed on their hands after a day of work. They also had to remove the silt and debris from the ditches, leaving them with little time to rest, which was exhausting.

It is normal that city dwellers, who are also students, cannot do farm work.

This requires training. After giving them a one-month adaptation period, they will be evaluated for work points. In the future, they will be like other members and rely on earning work points to make a living. It is impossible to take care of them all the time.

Otherwise it would be unfair to other members.

"Old Zhao, Captain Hao, you should take the time to talk to the educated youth frequently and encourage them to adapt to rural life." All things are difficult at the beginning, and Fang Wei did not take this matter to heart.

In addition to leading the educated youth to repair the canal, Zheng Hu also led them to weed and water the rapeseed fields, and to clean up the pigsty and transport the manure to the composting site.

The team's pig farm added 80 more piglets, and together with the previously retained live pigs, there are a total of 238 pigs.

After New Year's Day, the talents from the cement factory finally arrived and bought 30 pigs and 500 ducks.

[Produces piglets, points +9300]

[Produces Mallard, points +2000]

Total points: 379868.

There are still 208 pigs left in the pig farm and 2 ducks left in poultry house No. 1200.

"Jiang Xia, when can we eat pork?"

The educated youth watched the people from the cement factory taking away the pigs and ducks, and each of them had a leisurely and fascinated look on their faces.

Chu Linlin pulled Jiang Xia's arm and asked.

Chu Linlin was the most beautiful girl among the educated youth. She had known Jiang Xia before, and they quickly became good friends after arriving in the second team.

"How would I know? Let's go back and rest."

They had a very hard time during this period and were almost exhausted every day.

Similarly, they are slowly integrating into the second team and are not as reserved as they were at the beginning.

But there was an exception. All of these educated youth were afraid of Zheng Hu. That guy was never merciful. If anyone was lazy, he would start scolding them, no matter if they were boys or girls.

Jiang Xia and Chu Linlin walked towards the dormitory. They lived in the same room and were inseparable wherever they went.

Then they saw Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua walking towards them side by side. When they passed each other, the other party greeted them.

"Captain and Sister Lianhua are such a good match. I really envy them."

Chu Linlin looked at the two people's backs as they walked away and couldn't help but sigh.

Jiang Xia rolled her eyes. It wasn't that she had any problem with Fang Wei and his wife, but she just couldn't stand her best friend's behavior.

Chu Linlin always reads novels secretly and is a sentimental person.

"Third brother, that Chu Linlin is quite pretty."

"She is beautiful, but a little delicate."

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua had just come down from the mountain and were very hungry, so they hurried home to eat.

In the morning, the two of them went to the bamboo forest on the back mountain to take a look. There were a lot of bamboos there, which could be used as raw materials for making bamboo furniture.

He plans to set up a bamboo product factory after the new year to redeploy some staff.

For example, there are indeed a few educated youth who are not suitable for farm work. If they were evaluated based on work points, they would probably not even be as good as half a laborer.

These people are suitable to stay in the [afforestation area] or do side jobs or something.

"Third brother, have you thought it through? Do you really want to jointly run a bamboo factory with the village?"

When they got home, Wang Zhuyun had already prepared the meal, and the two of them sat down to eat.

While eating, Pan Lianhua suddenly asked a question.

"Well, cooperation will benefit everyone, and the results will definitely be better than going it alone."

He has discussed this matter with his grandfather, and his grandfather is very supportive.

The cooperation between the two sides can complement each other's strengths and weaknesses. The Yao village is good at making small bamboo products, and the second team can make bamboo furniture. If done well, it can bring very good benefits to both parties.

night.

After everyone finished their meal, Zheng Hu began to read the newspaper in the threshing yard.

This is the tradition of the second team. Things like "Remembering the Bitterness and Thinking of the Sweetness" are lively for a while and then die down, but this is the only thing that has been persisted.

The educated youth gathered together and were very curious about the traditions of the second team.

In their impression, the members of the production team should not care about things in the outside world, but in fact the members are very concerned about major domestic and international events.

Therefore, it is beneficial to read newspapers for a long time, at least it can broaden everyone's horizons.

"Okay, that's all for today. Members of the breeding team, please stay for a while. We have a business training session tonight."

Zheng Hu read for less than an hour and ended today's activities.

Because he and the members of the breeding team will go to Guan Chongyang later, where Wu Maosheng and Gao Qingshan will give lectures to everyone.

Activities like this are also a tradition of the second team. The core members of the team all have rich knowledge of agriculture and forestry.

"Business study?"

Before coming, the educated youth had a sense of superiority. Some of them had attended high school and some had attended junior high school. They felt that they were much more knowledgeable than the other members.

But after arriving, their sense of superiority gradually disappeared. When they interacted with young members, they were surprised by how much they knew.

What is even more unexpected is that they left school and went to the countryside to work, but the other members were constantly studying. This is really ironic.

"Jiang Xia, let's go quietly and take a look."

Chu Linlin is bold and curious.

She didn't care whether it was appropriate or not, and she pulled Jiang Xia and secretly followed the breeding team members.

Everyone walked into Guan Chongyang's house, and Wu Maosheng began to explain agricultural knowledge to everyone.

He would not talk about breeding. After all, with Fang Wei's achievements, he felt that he could not catch up even if he tried his best.

"What are you two doing sneaking around here? If you want to hear it, come inside and follow me."

Chu Linlin and Jiang Xia hid outside the yard and eavesdropped. Perhaps they were too nervous and didn't even notice Fang Wei walking behind them.

In today’s business study, after Wu Maosheng finishes his talk, Fang Wei will continue to talk to everyone about “Hybrid Rice Breeding Technology”.

He calculated the time and came to Guan Chongyang's side, but ended up seeing Chu Linlin and Jiang Xia.

Fang Wei knew that the two girls were very curious and a bit naughty, so he asked them to follow him in and completely satisfy their curiosity.

"Huh? Okay, okay."

Jiang Xia and Chu Linlin were startled, but they relaxed a little when they saw that it was the captain.

The captain is not only handsome, but also doesn't like to curse. He has a very good reputation among the educated youth.

This was actually because they had only been in contact with Fang Wei for too short a time. Fang Wei generally didn't curse at anyone, but when he got really angry, even Zheng Hu would retreat away from him.

"You two go to the back, be quiet, and listen carefully."

After Fang Wei came in, he first settled the two girls before starting to teach.

Everyone was used to it and thought that the captain had discovered a good seedling and was preparing to train him well.
