Zhu Xiaomin added: "You can discuss the specific details yourself. Such procedures should be much easier as long as the brigade and the commune apply for them."

However, the work points of other brigades are not as valuable as those of the first brigades.

The four people were silent for a moment.

Zhu Xiaomin glanced at each of the four people, as if seeing through their thoughts, and then slowly added: "In addition to afforestation and the development of the base, the production task of the first team from now on is to build a cannery. After the past six months, you also know what the first two tasks are. For the cannery this year, the most important thing is the early stage construction."

Planting trees is an activity carried out in all the communes in the forest farm. It can be said that they spend the whole year digging stones and soil in the mountains, which is much more difficult than growing crops.

As for the base, although it has been built to a certain scale, it is still expanding every year. Every time there is a task, it is either to remove mud and expand the base, or to collect silage from all over the mountains. All of it has to be carried back by manpower, and no task is easy.

As for the cannery, it is now just a barren slope, and the early construction is obviously more tiring than expanding the base.

In other words, a team's work points are valuable but hard to earn.

On the other hand, although the work points of other teams are not as valuable as those of the first team, if they are teachers in a fixed position, it will be relatively much easier.

The four of them were silent for a while before Shi Zhiguo nodded: "We thought it was too simple."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "There are still a few days until the New Year. You can go back and discuss it with a few more brigades." Then she added, "Brigade 7 and Brigade 8 are not far from the town. They should not need a primary school."

A few people nodded, whispered a few words, said they still needed to discuss it with other people, and then got up and left.

Seeing a few people entering the inner courtyard through the window, Miao Shiwen sighed, "If they really want to run a school, it would be a good thing for the children in each team. But I'm afraid it's not the case."

I'm afraid it's just to avoid physical labor.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "Anyway, we educated youth cannot compare with the locals in physical labor. It is a good thing that we can use our brains to develop production. When the cannery is established, a large number of our people will be sent over there to manage it."

Miao Shiwen nodded and glanced at her sideways: "In fact, it's a good idea for them to run a school. Literacy classes don't need to be held once every winter, but can be run long-term. You should support them."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and nodded: "Well, they can afford to run a primary school. I can bring it up later, or help with some things, but after all, it is not within my scope of work, so I can't take on everything."

The two talked for a while and then talked about other things.

I thought this matter could be temporarily let go, but when Zhu Xiaomin entered the inner courtyard from the outer courtyard that night, she was stopped by Fang Qing, who asked directly: "I heard that you think other brigades can't run elementary schools?"

Zhu Xiaomin corrected: "I'm talking about regular primary schools approved by the Education Commission."

Fang Qing pointed outside and asked, "What about that one?"

Zhu Xiaomin was helpless: "That school has been approved by the Education Commission."

"Well, since it is a formal primary school, there should be formal teachers. Can we apply to become formal teachers of this school?" Fang Qing asked.

Zhu Xiaomin narrowed her eyes unconsciously and looked at her: "Do you want to be a formal teacher in this school?"

Fang Qing asked provocatively: "Is it not possible?"

Okay, what's wrong with that?

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and nodded: "Since they have already told you, I think you also know that I am in charge of production and development, not education. Whoever wants to be the position can apply for it. If the Education Commission approves it, then it's fine."

Fang Qing frowned: "Since the people in the Education Committee admire you, wouldn't it be better for you to submit the application?"

Zhu Xiaomin had no good feelings towards this girl and simply replied, "This is none of my business." He walked around her and went to his room.

Fang Qing immediately took a step back to block her and sneered, "Are you going to keep the place in this school for your own people?"

Zhu Xiaomin looked at her and asked, "What do you mean by our own people?"

"You old educated youth." Fang Qing answered quickly, "You old educated youth have been rejecting us since we arrived, right?"

"For example, how can you tell this from what?" Zhu Xiaomin asked.

Fang Qing snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know. When Chen Xudong and his group of educated youth came last time, they teamed up with you directly. But when we came, you didn't say a word and just watched us figure it out on our own."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded. "It was because of that time when we directly shared the room that many conflicts arose, so we made some changes. Moreover, we had already built the dormitory before you came. After you came, we provided guidance on how to use firewood or water. We also took the initiative to help you borrow stoves and pots, and we didn't just watch you figure it out on your own."

Fang Qing frowned: "Isn't it your mission to expand the youth training center? How can it be counted as such?"

Zhu Xiaomin shook her head: "No, we applied for the expansion of the educated youth site ourselves because we didn't want to be in a rush after the new educated youth arrived. It wasn't a task assigned by the brigade, so we didn't have to do it."

Fang Qing bit her lip, seeming to understand that she couldn't win the argument, so she said, "I want to apply to become a formal teacher in this elementary school. Please help me apply."

"I can't do anything about it." Zhu Xiaomin refused coldly, walked around her and was about to leave.

"Hey, are you being unreasonable?" Fang Qing took another step back to block her.

Zhu Xiaomin was so angry that she laughed: "Fang Zhiqing, if you think everyone should spoil you, I suggest you take a look at your brain." Without beating around the bush, he simply pushed away her arm that was blocking his way and walked away.

"You scolded me!" Fang Qing was angry and reached out to push her hard on the shoulder.

Zhu Xiaomin didn't expect her to take action. She was pushed and staggered back a few steps. Before she could stand still, she was supported by someone. Then she heard Lu Mingzheng's cold voice: "Don't force me to hit a woman."

"You..." Fang Qing raised her head angrily and met his cold eyes directly. In the night, they were brighter than the stars in the sky. She suddenly felt as if she fell into an icy cave and was speechless for a long time.

Lu Mingzheng stopped looking at her, holding Zhu Xiaomin's hand and walking back into the house, complaining, "You didn't even wait for me when you came back, but went to deal with the mad dog instead."

Fang Qing: “…”

What kind of person is this? He speaks such a mean word.

But that man's aura was not comparable to Zhu Xiaomin's, and she didn't have the courage to rush up to argue with him.

Zhu Xiaomin found it funny and answered without thinking, "How could I know there would be a mad dog blocking the road? It's really bad luck."

The young couple went into the house talking to each other, slammed the door, and left Fang Qing alone outside, going crazy.
