Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

Several people ate in the canteen of the county compound, and County Magistrate Zhou sent a car to take them to Xiaohe Village.

Before leaving, County Magistrate Zhou told Chu Jianghe that he must take good care of the two reporters and avoid making any mistakes.

In order to get rid of the chains as soon as possible, Chu Jianghe agreed happily.

The reporter of People's Daily is also worthy of his extra thought.

If something went wrong between the two of them on the ground in their Xiaohe Village, the county magistrate would be able to skin him this week, not mentioning Secretary Hu.

This time, County Magistrate Zhou did not accompany him. He only sent a driver and a car. He also had a lot of things to deal with.

On the reporter's side, Chu Jianghe, as well as the Propaganda Department of the county and the prefectural committee, were worried. He only needed to take action if there was something that couldn't be solved below.

As a special reporter for People's Daily, Xu Chunyan is well-informed and is very familiar with the customs and features of various places. She chatted and laughed with Chu Jianghe along the way.

Chu Jianghe was a human being in two lives. In his previous life, he received too much fragmented information and what he learned was quite mixed.

Dealing with young people like Reporter Xu in this era is naturally a piece of cake.

Chu Jianghe's unusual knowledge made Reporter Xu look at him with admiration.

In 1978, the illiteracy rate in China was still about 20%. Since Yongfeng County is an underdeveloped area, the illiteracy rate should be higher.

Xu Chunyan was not surprised that the deputy village secretary of this small place was so knowledgeable.

Chu Jianghe discussed with his father, Chu Dayou, and arranged for the two reporters to stay at the brigade headquarters.

Ever since Xiaohe Village gradually got back on track, the west wing of the brigade headquarters was turned into a temporary office by Chu Jianghe for personal gain.

The west wing room was kept quite clean by Chu Jianghe. There was a bed, a table, and the desk was filled with various books. Bedding and other toiletries were all available.

When he has nothing to do, he will read here, review his homework, and write manuscripts. When he is tired, he will just lie on the bed and squint for a while.

Chu Jianghe led Xu Chunyan into the west wing room and said with a smile: "Reporter Xu, the conditions in the village are poor. You have been living in this west wing room for the past two days. I will ask someone to change them to a new set of bedding later. Reporter Guo was It’s arranged in the east wing, right across from you. You can go to my house to eat, or I’ll have it delivered to you. If you need anything, just ask me.”

Xu Chunyan took a look at the environment in the room and felt very satisfied when she saw that the room was clean.

"Secretary Chu is so polite. Don't bother me. I travel a lot on business, so I'm not that picky. This place is pretty good."

After all, she was a lesbian, so Chu Jianghe had to take care of her, so he gave up his office.

"As long as you're satisfied, I'll go see Reporter Guo and you can do it yourself."

"Excuse me, Secretary Chu."

"You're welcome."

After Chu Jianghe left, Xu Chunyan put her luggage next to the bed, walked to the desk, and saw that they were all books on Marxism, Leninism, and economics.

I secretly praised in my heart, no wonder Secretary Chu is very knowledgeable, he turns out to be a person who loves to learn.

But does he understand this advanced economics?

There was a notebook on the table, and a pen was sandwiched between it as a bookmark.

Driven by curiosity, Xu Chunyan opened the notebook.

Then she saw lines of delicate pen calligraphy reflected in her eyes, which made her eyes light up.

I thought it must be Secretary Chu's handwriting, but I didn't expect that his handwriting would be so delicate. It was really like the person he wrote.

After reading the contents carefully, I couldn't help but be attracted by the words inside, and I was unconsciously fascinated.

"The planned economy has its inherent shortcomings. Developing the economy in a planned way avoids problems such as blindness and uncertainty in the development of a market economy, but it also causes harm to social and economic development."

"First, it affects the enthusiasm and creativity of enterprises; second, it causes a lot of waste of resources; third, it creates bureaucracy. It is bound to fail."

"The market economy is not perfect. The market economy is not unique to capitalism. Socialism can also develop a market economy."

"To solve today's domestic problems, it is not feasible to simply talk about a planned economy or a purely market economy."

“Only by following our unique path can we have any hope of success.”

……

These remarks are from a high position. The author is standing in a very high position, looking at the overall situation, summarizing and sorting out various problems in the current Chinese economy, and giving his own opinions. The more Xu Chunyan reads, the more frightened he becomes.

With her level of knowledge, she could only have a partial understanding of it, and she had no way of judging whether this statement was right or wrong.

If this passage was written by a university professor or an economist, Xu Chunyan would not find it strange.

If this came from Secretary Chu of Xiaohe Village, it would be really scary.

It is really incredible that a small village secretary, living in a barren area, has the ideals of looking at the world and having the country in mind.

Could it be that Secretary Chu is actually an outsider like Zhuge Liang who lives in seclusion in a mountain village?

Xu Chunyan secretly shook her head and threw this unrealistic idea behind her mind. She must have thought too much.

However, the content of this note really moved her.

While he was thinking about it, Chu Jianghe walked in holding a set of quilts.

"Reporter Xu, Reporter Guo's place has been settled. This is the bedding I brought for you. I'll put it on for you."

Xu Chunyan stopped Chu Jianghe's movements.

"Secretary Chu, how can I bother you with such a trivial matter? Let me do it."

Chu Jianghe didn't force it. After all, the west wing was occupied by lesbians, so he couldn't interfere too much.

"Okay, I'll put this thing here for you, you can change it yourself."

Chu Jianghe put away the old bedding and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xu Chunyan.

"Secretary Chu, wait."

"What's wrong, Reporter Xu, do you have anything else to do?"

Chu Jianghe looked at Xu Chunyan in confusion, and saw her pointing to the notebook on the table and saying, "Secretary Chu, did you write this note?"

Chu Jianghe grinned and said, "Haha, I was writing blindly for fun."

Chu Jianghe secretly cursed himself for being so brainless, why he forgot to put this thing away.

The contents of his notebook were considered commonplace in later generations, not unusual.

But in the current environment, his arguments are undoubtedly too advanced, shocking, and even rebellious.

If this is revealed by others and publicized by someone with ulterior motives, I will definitely be criticized.

A small deputy secretary, as a grassroots cadre, is so bold to deny the current economic policy and go against the leadership. What is his intention?

Xu Chunyan smiled kindly and handed the notebook to Chu Jianghe, but her attitude, which was still close to him at first, was much colder.

"Then get busy, Secretary Chu. I'll take a rest later."

"Ok."

Chu Jianghe took the notebook and breathed a sigh of relief, not paying much attention to the change in her attitude.

Reporter Xu thought she was a plagiarist. She laughed in her heart and didn't bother to explain to her.

If you misunderstand, just misunderstand, and save yourself the trouble of talking.

Just walk out the door.
