Here we go again?

A considerable amount of grain was distributed.

“Secretary Zhou, this won’t do. We only took in seven educated youth last time, and our brigade doesn’t have that much grain. Besides, we don’t have enough place for the educated youth to live.”

By listing his own difficulties, Liang Wenhao's purpose was simple: we cannot accept this; we do not have the necessary conditions.

Zhou Zhigang said a few words, but Liang Wenhao just kept crying about his difficulties and couldn't accept it.

He snorted coldly and turned to look at Gu Yunyang.

They've arrived.

Gu Yunyang had a feeling that Zhou Zhigang had come here specifically for him.

All that groundwork he laid before was actually aimed at himself.

Sure enough, Zhou Zhigang turned his head and said, "Let's take in a few from the Red Flag Brigade this time."

His face was grim, as if his threat had been greatly shocked and questioned, and he was about to explode in anger. He said to Gu Yunyang, "The Red Flag Brigade only accepted three last time. Oh no, I should say two educated youths. Surely there's no excuse not to accept them this time?"

Or is it that your Red Flag Brigade is not responding to the policy and is unwilling to accept educated youth?

What a compliment!

Gu Yunyang wasn't against educated youth, but he didn't want to accept too many, nor did he want to accept those who were cunning and troublesome.

Unfortunately, how could he know which of the educated youth would be more law-abiding?

Relatively speaking, there might be fewer conflicts among male educated youth.

The female educated youth huddled together, chattering away, which easily led to conflicts.

But that's not necessarily true.

There are actually quite a few male "green tea" types.

Besides, male educated youth often had conflicts, and once they escalated, they could become major conflicts.

Therefore, it's best not to accept it if you can avoid it.

It seems that there's no way to refuse right now.

However, Gu Yunyang didn't want to completely accept Zhou Zhigang's suggestion.

Gu Yunyang immediately said, "Our Red Flag Brigade will definitely respond to the national policy, and there is no problem in arranging for educated youth to come here."

Zhou Zhigang couldn't help but laugh and clapped his hands: "Okay, since you're willing to accept it, that's good."

He found it strange too.

Gu Yunyang is not the kind of person who passively accepts whatever comes his way.

He only said two sentences, made a few sarcastic remarks, and then he was showered with compliments.

Gu Yunyang gave in?

This is way too easy!

However, at this point in the matter, Zhou Zhigang no longer cared what Gu Yunyang thought.

Let's get things done first.

It's not to say that none of the educated youth sent to the countryside across the country were of any help to the rural areas.

The vast majority are burdens, and that's a fact.

The grain output of the Hongqi Brigade was always among the lowest in Baishi Commune.

If it weren't for the commune's annual allocation, we might not even be able to buy all the seeds.

Not to mention chemical fertilizers.

Of course, the amount of fertilizer on the market is also very limited, and all the brigades are in short supply.

Zhou Zhigang didn't care about any of that; he just wanted to get things done and cause trouble for the Red Flag Brigade.

Gu Yunyang is the secretary of the Red Flag Brigade. If the Red Flag Brigade is in trouble, Gu Yunyang will naturally have a hard time as well.

The other members of the Red Flag Brigade had actually humiliated him, and Zhou Zhigang was not about to swallow this insult.

But he hadn't finished speaking yet.

Gu Yunyang stood up because his movements were too swift.

Zhou Zhigang suddenly forgot to continue.

Seeing this, Gu Yunyang smiled inwardly and immediately seized the opportunity to speak: "Deputy Secretary Zhou, we are willing to respond to the national policy and take in a few educated youth."

However, our natural conditions are simply too poor.

We are suffering.

Originally, our farmland was the least in Baishi Commune, less than half that of the second-to-last Luhu Brigade.

Our brigade could barely afford seeds, and the fertilizer allocated to us by the commune was the smallest amount, less than a third of what was allocated to the Green Lake brigade. Even so, they still didn't provide us with the full amount every year.

Our Red Flag Brigade is starving, and being located in the mountains, in a basin, makes even getting around difficult..."
