The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, someone from the brigade headquarters came over and informed me to go to the brigade headquarters for a meeting.

This is a regular meeting to arrange work every year.

When Zhu Xiaomin and Xie Chengzhi went to the brigade headquarters, most of the people in the brigade headquarters had already arrived. Several men were warming themselves around the stove, and women were sitting by the window, cracking melon seeds and chatting.

Seeing the two people coming in, several women first congratulated Zhu Xiaomin. Xia Chunhua jumped up, grabbed Zhu Xiaomin and shook her head: "Sister Xiaomin, you were so beautiful that day."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "It's just a change of clothes."

Xia Chunhua shook her head repeatedly: "It's different, it's different."

As for what's different, I can't tell.

Huang Xiaojuan was more practical. She pulled her to sit down and asked curiously: "Xiaomin, how do you make so many side dishes?"

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "It's just the beans grown in the yard. We saved some to make sour beans, just to eat in the winter when we don't have vegetables."

Huang Xiaojuan nodded repeatedly: "You tell me how to do it later, and I will keep some next year."

Huang Meihua smiled: "We also said that in this winter, other people's houses are only potatoes and radishes, so why do you have beans to eat?"

He Caifeng said next to him: "Zhu Zhiqing is really capable, but Lu Zhiqing is lucky."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "The sour beans are mostly made from Qiaomei."

After listening to a few women chattering for a while, Gu Mancang reminded everyone to sit down and coughed: "There is nothing to do today. The production tasks remain unchanged. Just summarize the regulations later. After that, such a big thing happened in the team last year. I want to talk to you. Let’s discuss the Qian family’s affairs.”

What's going on with the Qian family?

What happened to the Qian family?

Zhu Xiaomin raised her eyebrows and exchanged a look with Xie Chengzhi.

Xia Dongliang sighed and said: "The county is liquidating, and the food and money saved by the Qian family have been confiscated. There is no food just after the New Year, so there are so many orphans and widows."

Zhu Xiaomin didn't understand: "Secretary, Captain Xia, what do you mean..."

Gu Mancang coughed and said, "We still have some collective food in our team. We thought we should give them emergency supplies first, so we can't miss the New Year."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "Why am I listening? Director Qian made some great achievements and sacrificed his life. Our team wants to provide compensation to the families of martyrs?"

Xia Dongliang frowned: "Zhu Educated Youth, it was Qian Yuanfei who committed the crime. Now we are talking about the orphans and widows of the Qian family. Their food has been confiscated. How will they live this year?"

Zhu Xiaomin sneered: "Didn't they know when Qian Yuanfei was embezzling? Did they try to persuade or report it to the team? Since they took the dividends from Qian Yuanfei's corruption, they must bear the consequences now. The team's food We belong to the collective, why should we give a cover to a criminal? No matter from any angle, I don’t agree with this.”

Gu Mancang said helplessly: "I wish the educated youth, the principles of the law are nothing more than human feelings. Those people cry every day, which is pitiful."

Zhu Xiaomin asked back: "When Qian Yuanfei does evil things, does anyone care about the cries of the people he harmed?"

Gu Mancang sighed: "Zhu Zhiqing, we also know that Director Qian has made trouble for you in the past. It is understandable that you disagree, but those widows..."

"Secretary." Xie Chengzhi took over the words, "I know that in this village, except for us educated youths, everyone else is related to each other and has to take care of face. But the cadres of the brigade also serve the people. , why not hold a general meeting of all members and let the people express their opinion whether they will be given this food?"

Xia Dongliang said quickly: "It's not giving, it's borrowing."

"Borrow? When and how to pay back?" Xie Chengzhi asked back, "It's not like Captain Xia doesn't know how many people in the Qian family have worked in these years? How many of them have full work points? It's not enough for ordinary team members to support them. ?"

"Captain Xia." It was Huang Meihua who spoke this time, "It doesn't matter that they are educated youths. Even to me, it doesn't sound like that. If you give them food, what will the team do next year? They have to start work in the spring. We all have to eat collective food. When there is not enough food, how will you explain it? Tell everyone that you supported the families of criminals with the food they worked so hard to grow?"

"Meihua, you should also call him Third Brother." Xia Dongliang frowned.

"Captain Xia." Zhu Xiaomin took over the words again, "If you are talking about relatives and taking things to help yourself because it is out of love for your relatives, then there is no need to tell us. Since we are talking about collective property, that is Shouldn’t we put aside our personal relationships?”

Xia Dongliang frowned: "But they cry all the time. This is not a problem for the team."

Zhu Xiaomin lowered her eyelids and said slowly: "Qian Yuanfei bought the daughter-in-law for Qian Baldy. How many people took care of her when she cried?"

Xia Dongliang was momentarily speechless when he thought of the woman standing on the threshing floor, accusing her every word with tears.

Xie Chengzhi ended the topic directly and asked Gu Mancang: "Secretary, is this what we are doing today?"

Gu Mancang glanced at Xia Dongliang and could only say: "Well, let's discuss this matter again. Another thing is that people from the third brigade came over yesterday and told us that we should support them in building a breeding base."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Xiaomin didn't understand.

Xia Dongliang said: "Their breeding base is the second pilot project. Everyone knows that their lambs fell ill a few years ago. You also know that they are now saying that they want to rebuild the breeding base. They just don't have experience and want us to go in. support."

Zhu Xiaomin was amused: "In this whole Ciyaokou commune, the third brigade has always raised the most livestock. How come they don't have any experience in building a sheepfold?"

Xia Dongliang said: "They are talking about the successful experience of our breeding base. Otherwise, how many people from your educated youth team will be sent over to help?"

Xie Chengzhi laughed angrily: "Captain Xia, how many trips have we made since their lambs got sick? Which of the opinions they raised were listened to? They don't need experience now. They obviously want us to go over and work for them."

Xia Dongliang frowned: "Their three brigades have more people than us, right?"

Xie Chengzhi shook his head: "Captain Xia, why not go and see for yourself? We are still doing the work of keeping the lambs warm."

Gu Mancang said: "Maybe they just don't understand."

"Secretary." Zhu Xiaomin sighed, "When we built the base, we didn't understand. It was Comrade Zhao Zheng who guided us and we did it step by step. The same goes for them. Comrade Zhao Zheng is still running there every day. It's not as good as Do we have experience?”

Gu Mancang frowned and said to Xia Dongliang, "It seems we don't understand the situation."

Xia Dongliang also hesitated, looked at Xie Chengzhi and asked, "Where do you live now, Comrade Zhao?" Seeing him nodding, he added, "Tell him that we will go there with him tomorrow to have a look."

"Okay!" Xie Chengzhi agreed happily this time.
