Yang Cheng was like a mouse hiding in the shadows. He was unwilling to give up and was waiting to give Ren Jingxiao a heavy blow.
He thought about Ren Jingxiao's weakness, and that weakness was sleeping at home until almost noon.
Ningxia was woken up by the shouting, otherwise she would probably have slept until the afternoon.
When she looked at the time, she felt she couldn't sleep any longer, so she got up and made a cup of milk powder to fill her stomach.
"What happened? Is the person awake?" The team leader of the educated youth point asked hurriedly while looking at the unconscious person.
"The man just recovered after drinking a bowl of brown sugar water. His health was too poor. He fainted after just one meal." An aunt in the brigade said with disgust.
It's no wonder that this aunt is disgusted. People in the countryside wouldn't faint even if they went hungry for three days, let alone one meal. How could they go to the countryside like this?
"Captain, we really have no other choice. We have no firewood and can't even cook. We women are all in poor health. If this continues, we'll really die."
Ye Qianqian knew the time had come and said what she had prepared.
Without Ye Qianqian saying anything, the other female educated youth burst into tears when they thought of their miserable days.
The educated youth camp was suddenly filled with crying. Even the male educated youth turned their faces away and sobbed, with pale expressions on their faces.
The captain knew that these people were anxious. If they were pushed into a corner, they might do something bad!
"You guys take a rest first, I will discuss it with the team." The team leader looked at these wounded people and didn't make things difficult for them. He just wanted to teach them a lesson.
The educated youth were very excited when they knew that the team leader had compromised, but they knew they couldn't show it now, so they all lowered their heads.
When the team leader and several team members left, the educated youth almost jumped up with excitement.
"Qianqian, your method really works. It's been a long time since I last drank brown sugar. Thank you."
The female educated youth who had fainted sat up from the bed only after seeing that everyone had left.
"Yes, this time it's all thanks to Ye Zhiqing." The male educated youth also said.
Ye Qianqian curled the corners of her mouth sarcastically. These people only know how to talk after the fact.
She doesn't understand anything, can't do anything, and just wants her to come up with ideas. What's the point of her asking for these verbal thanks?
"You have to understand that we are in this together. No matter what happens in the future, we must stick together. No matter what happens, you must not doubt each other."
"It's already difficult for us here. If we have problems internally, it will be over."
Ye Qianqian is now hoping that these people will be obedient. She hasn’t decided yet whether to continue with Ren Jingxiao!
No matter what, she had to greet these people in advance so that they would stand behind her no matter what happened in the future.
"Yes, Ye Zhiqing, we will all listen to you from now on." Regardless of whether Ye Qianqian believed it or not, all the educated youth expressed their sincerity.
When the captain returned to the main force, he asked people to ask the team members to come and gather. He knew that the team members would definitely be reluctant to do this.
But isn't there a solution? The captain thought about how to start.
"Captain, what's the matter with calling us here?" The team members came quickly and looked at the captain one by one.
"I called you over here to discuss something. This morning, an educated youth fainted from hunger. It wasn't because of food, but because they had no firewood."
The captain looked at these team members and decided to tell the truth. Everyone in the team who should know about this will know about it soon.
"What does this have to do with us?" The team members started chattering when they heard it. Who doesn't lack food or firewood?
"This educated youth is from our Black Mountain Brigade. If something happens to him, do you think the higher-ups won't blame him?"
"If the higher-ups blame us, how will our team be able to survive in the future? We all know that we have so little food this year."
"Next year I must get the fertilizer. I can't let anyone go hungry anymore. But if something happens to the educated youth, how will you let me apply for it with the face I deserve?"
The captain watched these people continue to make promises. He knew that it would be no use just saying it directly because these people would definitely make trouble.
"Captain, can we drive these educated youth away?" The team members didn't want to miss the opportunity to get fertilizer, but they were also unwilling to help the educated youth.
"Do you think it's possible? Which brigade doesn't have educated youth? This is the policy from above. It's useless even if we go to the provincial capital, let alone the commune."
The team leader thought they were dreaming and he didn't want these educated youth either, but was that possible?
Last time the situation was so serious, but they still sent educated youth.
The team members fell silent and could only look at the captain reluctantly, waiting for him to come up with a solution.
"Here's what I think: we can give a little to each household, not too much, as long as these people can get through it."
The captain then expressed his thoughts.
"Then how much should I give? We don't have much firewood at home. There are many children in my family, so to save firewood, we all sleep in one room."
"We don't dare to burn too much fire at home. As long as we don't freeze to death, it's fine. We don't have a hard winter either!" Several team members expressed the thoughts of everyone.
"One bundle per family, please. Since we're giving it to you, we can't be stingy. A bundle is a real bundle, don't be short on weight."
The captain blocked all their escape routes, and the team members were reluctant but had no choice.
This bundle of firewood is enough for them to burn for several days! But since the team leader said so, they dared not refuse.
They are hoping that next year they can apply for fertilizers so that grain production can increase and they won’t have to go hungry.
They cursed the educated youth in their hearts, saying it was all their fault. Those people had no skills at all and caused so much trouble.
What kind of educated youth can participate in agricultural development? What kind of development will it cause? Will it cause trouble?
No matter how unwilling the team members were, they had no choice but to go back and get a bundle of firewood. With the captain's words, the bundle of firewood given by each family was acceptable.
When the team leader had the firewood brought to the educated youth site, the educated youth all gathered around.
They were very happy to see the firewood, but when they put it down, they felt something was wrong.
"Captain, this is not enough!" The educated youth became anxious again when they saw the pile of firewood.
In previous years, they prepared twice as much firewood, but winter was still difficult to endure. How could this firewood last through the winter?
"Not enough? Go ask who has enough firewood and food. This is what all the families in the brigade have pooled together. That's all. If you use it sparingly, you'll definitely be able to survive the winter."
"This is all our brigade can offer. If you think it's not enough, go to the Youth League Office and find a solution!"
The captain saw that they were still not satisfied and felt that his kindness was wasted, so he was lucky to be able to give them this.
