A short-tempered mom? A money-grubbing dad? A humorous trio of women were sent to the 1960s by a leaky electric kettle, bringing with them a kitchen that could infinitely replicate food and a space...
Before the issue of Guan Cuicui's brother-in-law had even begun to be resolved, a large number of educated youth were assigned to the communes. None of them looked like they were here to support national construction; they all acted like powerful individuals. When Jiang Huashu went to the county town for a meeting, the county educated youth office held him back, trying to squeeze in more people. Jiang Huashu wasn't afraid of this trick; it was likely that every commune director who came to the educated youth office used the same tactics. To squeeze more people into each commune, the educated youth office used every possible excuse, saying things like, "This is the child of so-and-so from the province, and they've specifically asked you to take him away." "Those few are relatives of so-and-so, and they have so many relatives that they want to group them together so they can look after each other, and they specifically asked you to go to their place." And so on and so forth. In short, every excuse was used to death.
Jiang Huashu readily accepted every assignment the Youth League Office offered him, thinking, "Don't you want more? Great! I'll take as many as you want me to take. After all, the commune is so big, finding a few villages to assign these people shouldn't be a big deal." People often say that we should learn to put ourselves in other people's shoes. If we don't help the Youth League Office solve their problems now and leave a bad impression on them, more and more youth will choose to go to the countryside in the future. If the Youth League Office then creates more trouble for us, that would be really worrying. So, we're all here to work, and mutual understanding is the most important thing.
Many of these educated youth were deceived by their parents. They would definitely not come even if they were persuaded nicely. But they have no choice but to go to the countryside in advance. If they delay any longer, all the places in the province will be taken up. Who knows which province they will be assigned to? Some will be assigned from the easternmost part to the westernmost part. They will have no place to cry then.
In the minds of the educated youth, their parents had already arranged everything for them; they were places where they would be provided with food and clothing, and where they didn't have to work. They only needed to stay for a year or two before returning. Indeed, who could have imagined that this movement would last ten years? Ten years later, many of the educated youth, both men and women, had married and had children in the local area. These ten years changed many lives.
This time, the County Youth League Office assigned a massive team of forty people to Jiang Huashu's commune! Ten of them were from Guanjia Village.
After all, some output simply couldn't be properly attributed, but now, finally, there was an opportunity. Jiang Huashu assigned ten people to his henchman, Lijiawan. Considering the approaching winter and the vast mountain resources of Lijiawan, he planned to have them responsible for charcoal burning and hand-weaving this winter. The carefully crafted charcoal could be shipped to the county seat for sale, while the hand-woven goods and baskets could be sold through the Xianyu platform.
In recent days, Shui Shui revealed that due to the influx of people into the space, output has increased accordingly. However, sales of Xianyuyu are still limited. Therefore, she has begun planning to open a store on Taobao specifically selling local specialties. Jiang Huashu is very knowledgeable and confident in her own products. Once the store is opened on Taobao, sales will undoubtedly increase dramatically, and the market will quickly open up. It seems that it is necessary to accelerate the transformation of the output value of each production team.
When Jiang Huashu left for the meeting, he left alone, and 41 others returned. The commune's Youth League Office also expressed understanding. Director Jiang had just taken up his post, and with this being a mandate from above, what else could he do but accept it?
