Chapter 121 In the darkness, humanity still shines
In the next few days, Li Guodong arranged for everyone to work in the morning and evening, and supplement information in the middle period.
In order to let everyone know clearly that he did not let these "stinking old nines" off, Li Guodong did not let them make up for it in the house, but put the table outdoors, letting them bask in the July sunshine, endure mosquito bites, rack their brains to write materials, and scold them from time to time.
But even so, everyone was happy, excited and grateful.
A group of people worked for half a month to complete the information and then compiled it and handed it to Li Guodong. These people looked at him with expectations and hopes, hoping that Li Guodong could protect the information well and continue their research on this basis when there was an opportunity in the future.
Li Guodong felt sad when he saw them looking at him. Most of the people in front of him were no longer young. They had haggard faces, gray hair, and hunched bodies. Some of them were not even forty years old, but looked like they were in their fifties or sixties.
Some of these people studied agriculture, some studied animal husbandry, some studied mathematics and physics, and some were engaged in literary creation and translation. At first, he was not clear about what mistakes they had made that required them to come here for reform and criticism. The charges listed in their archival documents were mostly about being reactionary academic authorities, advocating decadent bourgeois ideas, being divorced from the people, and having the "three highs" and "three highs" (famous writer, famous actor, famous professor, high salary, high royalties, high bonuses).
However, based on his careful observations and private investigations during this period, he really did not find any harm to society, the country, and the people from these people. On the contrary, many of them cared about the country, and they were obsessed with their research, all for the purpose of developing the country better.
He felt sympathy for them and was willing to relax his control over them to the best of his ability, but he couldn't do too much without getting himself into trouble.
Li Guodong thought for a moment and said, "These materials will be escorted to Liushutun Brigade in Taoyuan Commune, Qushui County. The poor and lower-middle peasants there need them. To prevent the loss of these documents from affecting the farmers' research, you should copy them again. That way, if there are any mistakes in the copy sent to them, we can make up for it. You should hurry up and finish copying quickly."
Everyone:"!!!"
After a brief moment of surprise and silence, Li Guodong responded with a deafening rebuke: "Yes! Please rest assured! We will work overtime and will never let our fellow farmers down. Roll in the mud and forge a red heart!"
They knew that this was Li Guodong's care for them, allowing them to leave a copy of their information and give them peace of mind. They would never let this young man down.
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Li Guodong's face.
He had previously told Yue Zheng that it would take some time to complete the information, and asked the Liushutun members to wait patiently. He believed that Yue Zheng would convey these words.
After they finish copying, he will send someone to deliver the materials.
As the head of military control, he has a reinforced platoon of people under his command.

After sending the letter, Xie Yun was not idle. She ran to the sawmill and asked for two polished rectangular wooden boards, and took the time to carve words on them.
One piece says: Taoyuan Commune Excellent Wheat Seed Experimental Base; the other piece says: Taoyuan Commune Excellent Wheat Seed Research Institute.
She had to do the whole thing; she couldn't let anyone find fault with these details. If they said there was a research institute, then there had to be one.
Secretary Li and Director Zhong were speechless when they saw her doing this.
"Is the Liushutun banner not big enough? Are you going to raise the Taoyuan Commune banner?"
Xie Yun smiled and said, "Master, you are wise. You are indeed worthy of being my immediate superior. You know me well. Look at my name. Doesn't it sound impressive? And look at my handwriting. Doesn't it look beautiful? I plan to put up this big wooden board near the experimental field, and I plan to hang this institute sign near the night school."
Our night school has two teams, one for teaching farmers and one for researching agricultural production. If any of our former partners ever decide to visit us for a discussion, we'll make sure they know we're sincere and never deceive anyone.
Secretary Li: “…”
Director Zhong: “…”
Good boy! It sounds so real that if they didn’t know the truth, they would have believed it!
Secretary Li teased her, "When you wrote to them asking for something, this sign didn't even exist."
Xie Yun said confidently: "We have to act in an emergency! It takes time to formally establish a research institute, but research cannot wait, the sooner the better. In order to cultivate good varieties as soon as possible, we can only seek help from our sister units in advance.
None of this matters. As long as we produce results, I believe everyone will understand and sympathize. Even if we don't, as long as we have a positive and progressive spirit, constantly exploring, firmly following the Party's lead, forging ahead under the guidance of the leadership's spirit, and constantly experimenting, our brothers will understand.
A leader once said: "Failure is the mother of success. The lessons learned from failure are the foundation for future victory." If we fail, we are laying the foundation for victory. This is an invaluable experience and process that is indispensable.
We only need to adhere to one principle: everything for the country, everything for the people. Keep the general direction, avoid making mistakes of principle, and everything else can be flexible.
So, hey, Secretary, Director, can you please approve a document for us? It's called "Taoyuan Commune's Resolution on the Establishment of a Research Institute for High-Quality Wheat Seeds." The institute and experimental fields are located in Liushutun. We have the necessary facilities. Everything is ready: offices, research labs, experimental fields, and research talent. Everything is in place, except for one document.
"As long as we have this document, our institute will become a fully-fledged institute, no longer a makeshift team, but with the backing of our people's commune. If our institute achieves success, our commune will also benefit from it."
Secretary Li and Director Zhong were easily persuaded.
To put it bluntly, they don't have to do anything, just express their stance and support the work of the members. It's not a big deal!
Secretary Li slammed the table and said, "Okay, approved, and built."
Director Zhong asked her, "Are the offices and research labs those buildings built for the night school? The research talent is Technician Xiao Yan, right? Are there others?"
Xie Yun said, "Don't worry, there will definitely be more and more people. Our current research force is Comrade Yan Dongsheng. Sun Liwei, Sun Xiuwei, Qian Gaoyun, and I are Comrade Yan's research assistants. All members of our Liushutun Brigade are Comrade Yan's research partners, helping him conduct experiments and record data. We have set up the platform, so why should we worry about not attracting talent?"
There is a shortage of talent these days, but what is even more lacking is a stage for talent to display their abilities. We poor and lower-middle peasants are broad-minded and have lofty aspirations, so we will build this stage for everyone."
