A pair of educated youth sisters arrived at Yangjialing Production Brigade.
The elder sister was gentle and beautiful, and the younger sister was charming and lively, causing the villagers to...
Chapter 76
Yang Jiahe knows everything. With his guidance, Jiang Mi's learning progress is faster, so Jiang Mi calls him "Teacher Xiao Yang".
Chen Xi originally wanted to study with Jiang Mi. She thought she had started learning a while earlier, but later she found that Jiang Mi's progress was faster than hers and her knowledge was more solid, so she started studying with Jiang Mi.
There is not much farm work nowadays. Except for Su Wenchen and a few others who raise pigs every day, everyone else is basically free and comes here first.
Winters in the northern provinces are extremely cold, the ground freezing over. Nothing can survive the winter, so crops are only planted once a year. Since we had nothing to do anyway, everyone picked up their textbooks.
It was a sunny morning. Jiang Mi and Yang Jiahe went to play in the mountains together. As soon as they left the brigade, they saw the county party committee secretary and several people in shirts riding bicycles and stopping at the entrance of the village.
Jiang Mi knew this official, named Zhao Luyao, who often followed the county party secretary Li Xian. She didn't know the others. One of them was a middle-aged man in his forties who wore glasses and looked very respectable. He was obviously an intellectual.
Building a school!
Jiang Mi and Yang Jiahe understood almost instantly.
Zhao Luyao winked at Jiang Mi and mouthed the word "school".
Jiang Mi came forward with a smile and enthusiastically called out, "Comrade Zhao." She then greeted the other comrades, "Are you here to see the team leader? I'll take you to the team headquarters."
The members of the commune who were enjoying the cool under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village also looked over, thinking that they were looking for Jiang Mi.
Yang Jiahe did not catch up and was about to go back first. A fat middle-aged man said: "Hey comrade, are you Yang Jiahe?
Yang Jiahe came up and said, "I'm Yang Jiahe."
The fat middle-aged man said, "You and Jiang Mi are going to take the county committee exam soon. You only have a junior high school diploma, so you're not suitable. Our municipal committee recruits cadres, and at least a high school diploma is required. I think you'd better find a factory job and do some manual labor.
Yang Jiahe said: "I know that my academic qualifications are not enough. During the high school entrance examination, I was sick and did not perform well. During this period, I followed Comrade Jiang Mi to study high school knowledge. Although I am not very smart, I also studied hard and re-read the high school textbooks. Even if I can't understand them thoroughly, I have to know them thoroughly.
The man with glasses was surprised: I really know it well
The fat middle-aged man sneered: "You are a junior high school student who didn't even get into high school, but you know the high school textbooks by heart. You are quite good at making up stories. You are a liar who is full of lies, so don't tell me.
If you fail the exam, you will lose face for nothing.
Jiang Mi frowned, very unhappy. "Hey, fat uncle, to be honest, Jiahe brother has memorized the textbook thoroughly. How can you lie that Jiahe brother has a photographic memory and is smart and quick-witted. In just ten days, he mastered high school knowledge." Then he said, "You know our team quite well. Not only do you know Jiahe brother and me, you also know that Jiahe brother only has a junior high school diploma.
The fat middle-aged man's face turned gloomy. He said, "You have memorized the textbook thoroughly in ten days. I think both you and Yang Jiahe have bad behavior. You should continue to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants in the countryside and improve your character first."
Zhao Luyao quickly said, "Secretary Zhang, the child said something exaggerated for a moment, how can it be elevated to the level of bad behavior and implicate Jiang Mi and Yang Jia?"
He Gang received the Outstanding Individual Award issued by the city, and their character was recognized by the city.
The fat middle-aged man said: "When I return to the city, I will report to the city that these two people did indeed do something important by accident, but they
His character is unfit for a position at the County Party Committee." He then added, "He's also unfit for the Municipal Public Security Bureau."
The members who were watching the excitement nearby were very angry. One aunt sneered: "Why don't you go and find out the Gao family and the Xiao family by accident? Now you still say it's a fluke. How can it be that Jia and Mimi blocked your way by accident and made the place vacant for you to take up the position?"
Another woman scoffed, "You're such a good abacus! The beads are flying into our faces."
The fat middle-aged man was so angry that his nose was crooked. He was flattered wherever he went. No one dared to mock him. He pointed at the two talking aunties and said: "The people in your group are really full of nonsense. They can turn black into white. I just said a few words, but you put this hat on me.
Jiang Mi blinked her eyes: Fat Uncle, did Jiahe and I offend you in some way? Do you have a good relationship with the Xiao and Gao families, so you can't stand me and Jiahe living well?
The fat middle-aged man was taken aback. "Stop talking nonsense. I'm a city official. How could I possibly know bastards like the Xiao and Gao families? Stop making up stories and accusing me of that."
Jiang Mi laughed and said, "Then don't make up stories."
Zhao Luyao quickly tried to smooth things over, fearing that the situation might become too serious. "Alright, alright, we're here to see the Yangjiagou Brigade today."
Jiang Mi said no more.
The middle-aged man wearing glasses said with a stern face:
"Secretary Zhang, what you said is indeed inappropriate. How can it be just an accident or a fluke? Are you trying to erase the good things that these two people have done? Well, today is not the time to talk about this. Comrade Jiang Mi, we want to take a look around the brigade. Can you lead us?
Jiang Mi said, "Uncle, our team can go anywhere, but we must clarify what Secretary Zhang said today. Brother Jiahe never said empty words. When he said he knew it by heart, he knew it by heart." She flipped through Yang Jiahe's backpack and took out a senior high school Chinese textbook from it. She handed the textbook to the middle-aged man with glasses and said, "Brother Jiahe, page 24 of the first semester of senior high school.
Yang Jiahe looked at the angry little girl with a stern face, and was quite happy to carry her on his back and protect her. He smiled and recited the content of the page.
The man with glasses hadn't opened the book at first, but when he saw Yang Jiahe reciting the text fluently, he flipped to page 24. He had memorized it word for word. After Yang Jiahe finished reciting the text, the man with glasses said, "Great!" and praised Yang Jiahe for his excellent recitation, saying he could be a broadcaster. Yang Jiahe was humble.
Secretary Zhang's face turned grim. He didn't believe anyone could memorize a book. He thought Yang Jiahe and Jiang Mi might just be able to recite this page. He said, "Could it be that they can only recite this page?"
Jiang Mi sneered: "Just because Secretary Zhang thinks something is impossible doesn't mean others can't do it. Since Secretary Zhang doesn't believe it, then Secretary Zhang can just randomly check. If this one isn't enough, we also brought a math book.
The middle-aged man with glasses flipped to a random page: "Page 48."
Yang Jiahe recited it casually.
Zhang Bowen:!!!|
The middle-aged man with glasses sighed, "Ever since ancient times, there have been outstanding young men. I can't help but admit it." He closed his book. Zhang Bowen: "Being good at Chinese doesn't guarantee being good at math." "Didn't I bring my math textbook?" Jiang Mi laughed. "Secretary Zhang, just memorizing the text is so hard you think it's impossible?" The onlookers laughed, praising Yang Jiahe's intelligence, but no one dared to mock Zhang Bowen directly. Zhang Bowen's face turned pale.
The middle-aged man wearing glasses patted Zhang Bowen on the shoulder and said, "Secretary Zhang, we have to admit our age. I have heard about how Comrade Xiao Jiang and Comrade Xiao Yang rescued my sister and broke into Xiaojiazhai. You are truly brave comrades, not afraid of power and wholeheartedly serving the people. You are worthy of our learning." This was to explain what he had just said.
Jiang Mi glanced at Zhang Bowen and didn't continue. School matters were the most important. As for Zhang Bowen, this matter would be dealt with slowly. "I didn't think so much at the time. I just wanted to rescue my sister. Even if I had to sacrifice my own life, I would find evidence of Xiao Kaiyang's crimes and prevent him from harming the people.
I was lucky enough to stumble upon Xiaojiazhai. Thanks to the military, public security comrades, and the county party committee, we were able to eradicate this cancerous area.
Zhang Bowen's face was still gloomy and he didn't mention what happened just now. Now the school's affairs were more important and the school could not be built in Yangjiagou.
"I heard that when you went to the Xinghua Brigade, you brought comrades from the educated youth camp with you. I heard that the young people from the educated youth camp were very brave and beat the bullies in the Xinghua Brigade without being able to fight back. I also heard that there were often fights in your brigade, and several female comrades beat the male comrades until they had broken heads and blood. Is your brigade particularly good at fighting?
Jiang Mi: Who told you that?
Zhang Bowen:!
"Of course, we investigated your team before we came here."
Jiang Mi said, "Oh, I don't know who told you this, isn't it just a bunch of nonsense and lies? When did our team ever have a fight? Our team was awarded the Outstanding Team by the county."
Zhang Bowen was so angry that he wanted to die. This girl was really sharp-tongued.
Other members also said: Yes, isn’t this nonsense? There is no other team that is more united and friendly than ours.
The team leader and the accountant also came running over, their foreheads covered in sweat. They hurried to greet him. The team leader said, "Comrade Zhao, you're here." He then quickly said, "Any problems in our team should be resolved with the team headquarters. If they can't be resolved, we go to the commune or the police. Fighting won't solve problems.
A young officer next to Zhang Bowen said, "Everyone knows what happened in the Xinghua Brigade. I heard that you had already beaten the guy down before the police arrived."
Jiang Mi looked at him and smiled. "We are good at fighting bad elements. When the comrades in the brigade heard about my sister's situation, because the matter was urgent, some comrades went to report the case, while some comrades followed me to the Xinghua Brigade without saying a word.
The Gao family of Xinghua Brigade was a scourge to the people. They were bullying and beating the local educated youth, and they threatened to beat us up too if we didn't leave. The Chairman was a man of both letters and martial arts, a man who could bring peace to the world with his pen and decide the fate of the world with his sword. He was a great hero in our hearts.
We couldn't be deserters. Even if we were beaten to death, we would wait for the public security comrades to rescue us. Fortunately, the comrades in our brigade worked hard all year round and were very strong. They took down the lazy people in the Xinghua Brigade and waited for the public security to rescue us.
Comrade, do you think we are doing the right thing?
Zhang Bowen: "You are really good at speaking."
Jiang Mi grinned: "Thank you for the compliment. Please stop being so unreasonable. Since the leaders want to wander around the brigade, I will introduce our brigade to them. This way is the pig farm, the cattle, sheep and pigs are all over there. This way is our brigade."
Zhang Bowen took a deep breath and was so angry that he almost fainted.
Zhao Luyao: The county has allocated some pigs to your team. How are they doing now? Are they getting fat?
Zhang Bowen gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go to the brigade first. We should be fair and just. If we go to the pig farm, will we still see the original appearance of Yangjiagou? Let's go to the educated youth site first.
He heard that there were frequent fights among the educated youth.
Zhao Luyao: "Secretary Zhang, you've come down from the city this time and you really know a lot about our county." The middle-aged man with glasses didn't say anything. He also wanted to see what the brigade looked like.
Jiang Mi: "Then let's go to the educated youth site first."
When he arrived at the educated youth center, Zhang Bowen pushed the door open and went in. As soon as he entered, he was stunned. In the yard, several young people were reading under the shade of a tree.
One of them was even reciting Chairman Mao's quotations vividly. Zhang Bowen felt that he had opened the door in the wrong way.
Cheng Yuze, seeing someone coming, became even more excited and continued to recite the Chairman's quotations with emotion. Chen Xi and Yu Da closed their textbooks and walked over.
He greeted the team leader and others first. Seeing so many leaders, he didn't say anything and stood next to Jiang Mi. Cheng Yuze closed the book after reading this paragraph.
The middle-aged man wearing glasses asked: Why are you reading at this time?
Cheng Yuze asked back: "It's not time to read."
The middle-aged man wearing glasses smiled and said, "I'm He Xin, you can call me Uncle He. I rarely see others studying or memorizing so early in the morning."
Nowadays, too few people study seriously.
Cheng Yuze: That’s because you didn’t come to our educated youth camp. I was memorizing in the morning and at night. When I wasn’t working, I was memorizing.
Chen Xi said: "Now that farming is slack, I occasionally go to the mountains to collect wood. I don't want to waste the rest of the time, so I pick up my textbooks again, read a book, and write.
He Xin: "Okay! Then I won't delay your studies."
Jiang Mi led them to continue walking around, and when they met a child of six or seven years old, He Xin called the child over and asked, "Children, don't you go to school?"
One of
When the children heard this question, they rushed to answer: "No, I don't go to school. The school is too far away. My mother and grandmother are worried that something might happen to me on the way.
I didn't go to school either. My mother said she would send me to school when I turned eight. I didn't go to school either. My grandmother said I was still young and the roads were unsafe.
He Xin said: "Do you want to go to school?"
Several children said in unison: "We want to go to school."
I met a few more children along the way, and they basically gave the same answer: none of them went to school because the school was too far away. The children all wanted to go to school and were eager to learn new knowledge.
He Xin asked a few more members, and they all said that they must let their children go to school and not turn a blind eye. Even if they cannot leave the countryside, they hope they can do some easy work.
This is also what I really think.
Finally, Jiang Mi took He Xin to the pigpen for a walk. Before they even entered, they heard Ding Ankang's rhythmic recitation.
As the group walked in, Jiang Mi explained, "This is Ding Ankang, a youth from our educated youth camp. He recites poems and school texts every day. He hopes that the pigs he raises will be cultured pigs. The meat of such pigs will definitely be more delicious.
Zhang Bowen: I’m so angry I don’t want to talk!
Must be cheating!!!
Jiang Mi is really the nemesis of their family.
Ding Ankang saw a group of people coming in, including several leaders, who looked very powerful. He wanted to show off, but he pretended not to see them and recited a few poems from the Chairman's collection.
Su Wenchen stood up from the rattan chair and coughed lightly: "Ankang."
Ding Ankang then turned around pretentiously and said, "Captain, why are you here to see the pigs? They are growing very well."
He Xin asked a few questions with a smile, and Ding Ankang said he loved poetry and that reading and reciting poetry brought him joy. After they finished reading, He Xin and the others prepared to leave, saying they wanted to explore other places. As soon as they left, a group of children rushed over, surrounding Yang Jiahe and asking for candy.
Yang Jiahe smiled: "I'll take you back to get some candy."
Jiang Mi took some candies out of her bag and handed them to Yang Jiahe. Yang Jiahe distributed candies to everyone one by one, five pieces per person.
This is what Yang Jiahe said to the children.
The team leader and the accountant were both very happy, feeling that their team's performance was impeccable. However, they were also a little worried. The team leader said, "Is that Secretary Zhang up to no good?"
Jiang Mi: “He will just make trouble behind the scenes, but it won’t do any harm.
