Holding meetings now is much simpler than in later times. There is no need to coordinate venues, arrange food and accommodation, or coordinate the time of participating experts. Meetings can be held at any time and are extremely efficient.
On the evening of the previous day, Wang Yiming passed the news on, and the team leaders gathered at the commune early the next morning.
Secretary Li introduced Xie Yun to everyone: "This is Xie Yun, the new propaganda officer of our commune. You can just call her Xiao Xie.
She'll be interacting with you all frequently in the future, so you should all get to know her and keep an eye on her when she goes down to work. Xiao Xie is young, only 19 years old, and you are all experienced veterans, so please keep her in good stead.
Xiao Xie graduated from high school and attended Qushui No. 1 Middle School. She had excellent grades and she worked hard on the farm in the brigade for three years, earning full work points. She has both theoretical and practical skills, a flexible mind, and a lot of ideas about agriculture and rural development. If you have any questions in the future, you can communicate with her more.
Xiao Xie has published several articles in newspapers before. Not only is she a good writer, she's also a very good painter. She's the best writer in Taoyuan Commune. I admit I can't compare to her."
As soon as Secretary Li finished speaking, the team leaders responded with a smile:
"What a promising young man!"
"Didn't the Chairman say that young people are full of vigor and vitality, like the sun at eight or nine in the morning? He must be talking about Xiao Xie."
"Xiao Xie, come visit our brigade when you have time."
Xie Yun stood up and said, "Thank you Secretary Li for praising me! This is encouragement from the leadership to young people. Thank you all for not looking down on my youth and lack of experience. I will definitely work hard, learn from everyone, work hard, and contribute to all the members of our Taoyuan Commune. I will have to trouble you all in the future, so you must help and support me!"
"Don't worry, we will definitely support you."
Director Zhong smiled and said, "Okay, you can talk privately later. Let's start the meeting. Today's meeting is about the problems of the educated youth, but it's also about our problems. How can we fully leverage the policy of going to the countryside to mobilize the enthusiasm of the educated youth and have them contribute to the development of our Taoyuan Commune? This is an issue we need to actively explore."
Liushutun Brigade has already made some very successful attempts in this regard, and Comrade Zhang Guangzong will share his experience with you later. You may also be familiar with the development of Liushutun over the past six months, thanks to the efforts of the members and the contributions of the educated youth.
Let's first let Secretary Li explain our commune's overall policy for educated youth. Everyone is welcome."
The applause was very enthusiastic.
Xie Yun wrote furiously and was responsible for taking minutes of the meeting.
Secretary Li's views were largely the same as what Xie Yun had said yesterday, but he had clearly digested and thought about them, and his presentation was more coherent.
“You have to understand one thing: the educated youth came here not to occupy our resources, but to make contributions.
It doesn't mean that we should let them do all the easy work or give them all the good opportunities, but we should let them help us train our young members, and even middle-aged members, so that our members have the ability to engage in various jobs in all walks of life.
We must fully utilize the convenience provided by the "Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside" policy and strive to improve ourselves. The country called on educated youth to go to the countryside to train them and to develop agriculture and rural areas. Everyone must keep this in mind."
The team leaders all felt as if they had been enlightened. So, they decided not to let the educated youth serve as scorekeepers, but to let them train more members who could serve as scorekeepers; not to let the educated youth serve as teachers, but to let them train more members who could serve as teachers; not to let the educated youth drive tractors, but to let them teach the members how to drive tractors...
I understand.
Both knowledge and skills must be learned.
Next, Zhang Guangzong shared the experience of Liushutun. In just half a year, Liushutun has made great progress.
Night schools were opened and registered in the county;
The flour mill has been established and registered with the county. When Secretary He visited Liushutun to open the night school, he also visited the flour mill and told them to try it out first. If it develops well, it could be renamed the Qushui County Grain and Oil Processing Factory. Not only would all of Qushui County's grain and oil processing duties be assigned to it, but an asphalt road would also have to be built from the commune to the brigade.
There is also a research institute. Liushutun is currently conducting scientific planting experiments, which have achieved certain results, and wheat seed breeding is underway.
Beekeeping is going great!
After this introduction, the captains of other brigades were so jealous that their eyes almost turned red.
"Old Zhang, you are so unfair. You took all the benefits and didn't even leave any for us."
Zhang Guangzong laughed heartily and said, "You can also raise bees. Our technician Xiao Yan will promote scientific planting throughout the commune. When he goes to your place, you should cooperate with him. You can also do night school. Our brigade had two educated youths at the beginning. They worked during the day and went to night school at night. They performed very well.
It's the flour mill and the research institute. You might not be able to run them for now. But that's okay, hahaha. The research institute belongs to Taoyuan Commune, and the research results will be promoted throughout the commune. The flour mill could also become a grain and oil processing plant for the entire county, and we'll all benefit. Hahahaha."
Captains: “…”
Haha, bullshit, you haha!
Seeing that Zhang Guangzong was constantly stirring up trouble, Director Zhong said, "Each brigade has its own advantages and characteristics. Liushutun has fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the educated youth, allowing them to work hard for the development of the brigade. After we go back, we should also think carefully about how to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the educated youth and let them come up with ideas and solutions for the development of the brigade."
