Chapter 224 Liu Chengjun
She looked at the ignorant child and advised, "Why don't you talk to your boss and ask him to find you a new place?"
Ren Xiuzhen glanced around, lowered her voice, and whispered to Liu Chengjun, "There's some truth in the saying 'poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people.' The poorer the place, the more backward the people's thinking, and the greater the risks they take for profit! You'd better not go. I see you're so young, are you 18? Development is the leadership's business. Once we get there, we'll just follow their instructions and work hard. Don't be impulsive."
You still want to go there to build and promote development, but will the people there listen to you? I heard that the poorer the place, the more united and xenophobic the people are. You're just a kid, won't you be bullied to death?"
Liu Chengjun looked at Ren Xiuzhen in surprise. Just now, she saw that this female comrade was always daydreaming and absent-minded, and she thought that she was the kind of person who was reluctant to go to the countryside and whose ideas were not very progressive. Now it seems that her ideas are indeed not very progressive, her vision is not broad enough, and she is a little self-centered, but she is indeed a good person, a kind person.
In this day and age, he was able to be so friendly and talk to her, a stranger he had just met, and his words were all from the heart. Overall, he was quite good.
"I'm 18. How old are you?"
"21."
"Why did you go to the countryside at 21?"
"It wasn't me who should have gone to the countryside, it was my younger brother. I used to have a job, but my parents told me to give my job to my younger brother and told me to either go to the countryside or get married, so I went to the countryside."
Liu Chengjun frowned and said, "What they did was wrong! You actually gave in? You actually obediently went to the countryside? Although I think going to the countryside is an ideal way to achieve it, it can't be done the way your parents did. They are helping your brother avoid going to the countryside. You should tie up your brother, beat him with sticks and drive him to the train station, and make sure he gets on the train to the countryside."
Ren Xiuzhen glanced at the girl in surprise. "I didn't expect you to see things so clearly. But I'm too lazy to argue with them. Let's go to the countryside. Didn't you just say that we should respond to the call and make great achievements in the countryside?"
Liu Chengjun curled his lips. "These are two different things. Your desire to go to the countryside is your business, and his avoiding it is his business. Your initiative to go to the countryside should be rewarded, and his avoiding it should be punished. But now, the two things are mixed together. Those who should be rewarded are not rewarded, and those who should be punished are not punished. It has become a mess."
Ren Xiuzhen was even more surprised. This little girl really impressed her. She might be able to achieve something great there. "That's all for me. As for your situation, what if someone bullies you when you get there? No matter how smart you are, you're still just a little girl. If someone plots against you, can you really escape?"
Liu Chengjun smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm a martial artist. I've been practicing since I was a child. Breaking bricks with my bare hands is easy. I'm not afraid of anything."
She's carrying a gun!
Her father said that if anyone dared to bully her, he would shoot them first. Her father was stationed outside Beijing and was now a division commander. How could she, the daughter of a division commander, let anyone bully her? Wouldn't that be a joke?
Liu Chengjun looked at his large luggage bag, which contained a lot of bullets.
She feels very safe!
Besides, even though she grew up in the suburbs of Beijing, she is not from Beijing. Her ancestral home is in the southwest, which is a well-known place for bandits. She has local genes and is even more bandit-like than a bandit!
Besides, she was not the only one going to Majiagou this time. Three people from their compound came, and all of them went to Majiagou.
Ren Xiuzhen smiled and stopped talking.
Good job!
The clown turned out to be herself.
As expected, you can't underestimate anyone. Who would have thought that this is actually a King Kong Loli! She has a cute baby face, but she can actually split bricks with her bare hands!
She is narrow-minded.
After a while, she still reminded him, "Then be careful. If anything seems amiss, be alert. Keep in touch with the outside world so you can ask for help if you have any questions."
"I know, don't worry, sister. Liushutun, where you're going, is very well developed, and the people there are very progressive. You'll definitely make a difference there. I heard that everyone there is very motivated. All the educated youth who go there work in the fields during the day and conduct research and teaching at night. They can also put forward development suggestions, and if they are adopted, the brigade will help realize them."
Ren Xiuzhen: “…”
Working in the fields during the day and researching and teaching at night—isn't that 996? No! It's 711!
Is this something you applaud?
"Where did you hear that?"
"It's in the newspaper. Liushutun is often in the newspaper. The poor and lower-middle peasants there are very capable and have accomplished many great things. You'll see when you go there. Sister, don't you usually read the newspaper?"
Ren Xiuzhen shook her head. "I'm very busy at work and I have to do housework when I get home. I don't have time to read the newspaper."
The original owner really didn't read it much. She didn't have time to read it during the past few days and didn't know anything.
How come Liushutun is such a famous place?
Liu Chengjun said, "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it. You'll experience it for yourself soon. Sister, let's work hard together. I'll work hard to develop Majiagou, and you'll work hard in Liushutun. We will both have a bright future."
Ren Xiuzhen: “…”
I thank you!
Liu Chengjun didn't let her go and continued with a smile, "Sister, you are the first new friend I met after arriving in Qushui County. Let's keep in touch. I will write to you when I get there. Then you can tell me what you did in Liushutun. Sister, you have to be a role model for me. I want to learn from you."
Ren Xiuzhen: “…”
Please, spare her and pretend you never met her.
However, looking at the girl's smiling eyes and innocent face, she said, "Okay."
After saying that, I wanted to slap myself in the face.
What on earth had she promised?
Liu Chengjun laughed even more happily. She wanted to say something else but was dragged away.
Even then, she didn't forget to turn around and remind him, "Sister, don't forget our agreement."
Ren Xiuzhen: “…”
Two of Liu Chengjun's friends from the same compound said to her, "You should be more discerning. Didn't you see that they're not talking much? If someone wasn't paying attention, what were you talking about?"
☆
After finishing the work in the county, everyone boarded the tractors sent by their respective communes to pick them up and headed for the communes.
There, they will be divided again and sent to various brigades to join the queues.
Taoyuan Commune was assigned more than 20 educated youths, with some in each brigade.
Liushutun Brigade was allocated two.
The development of the various brigades under the Taoyuan Commune is quite good. Each brigade is trying to find ways to engage in side businesses and generate income, and everyone has a tractor.
This time, the brigades came to the commune to pick up people, all driving tractors.
Ren Xiuzhen looked at the team of tractors in front of her, and her understanding was constantly updated.
The novels she had read in the past told her that tractors were a luxury item in that era, with a status comparable to that of Rolls-Royce and Lamborghini. In fact, every brigade in Taoyuan Commune had one, and they drove them to pick up the educated youth. How generous!
It's much better than the situation in the historical literature where people came to pick up people in an ox cart but were not allowed to sit because they were afraid of tiring the ox.
The educated youth received another wave of education in the commune compound, and each of them also received a brochure on late marriage.
Because there was no trouble caused by Qian Gaoyun, that scumbag, in this life, the country's attitude towards the marriage of educated youth has always been consistent, that is, late marriage.
Later, Xie Yun specifically looked through newspapers starting from 1968 and excerpted out the content advocating late marriage. There were special contents in 1969, 1970 and 1973, and the Premier also gave a speech on this.
At the time, newspapers exaggerate the significance of late marriage. Early marriage trends in some areas were denounced as a "bad trend" aimed at "class enemies" sabotaging the re-education of educated youth from the poor and lower-middle peasants. In 1973, the Premier singled out a 28-year-old unmarried female educated youth for praise, calling her a "model of late marriage."
Ren Xiuzhen looked at the brochure in her hand and her understanding was refreshed.
