Chapter 261 Encouragement
Chu Hong said seriously: "Now the leaders are still counting on you educated and knowledgeable educated youth comrades to improve the cultural and ideological level of rural women."
"Especially, good birth and upbringing are also very important."
"I originally thought that you educated people, who have heard and seen that men and women are equal in the city, would help rural women and children safeguard their legal rights."
"Who knows, you have already been assimilated by the country men."
The male educated youth looked ashamed when they heard this.
The female educated youth couldn't help crying. They felt that they had no hope after leaving their families and familiar environment.
The female educated youth were also confused and sad: "We don't work as well as them, we are always looked down upon, and we earn few work points, so it's hard to support ourselves."
"But we don't want to get married either. What do you think we should do in the future?"
Chu Hong also sighed in her heart.
Unexpectedly, after Chen Mei got married, the female educated youth became even more reluctant to get married.
Even if the task she received was to persuade everyone to "take root" in the countryside.
But she does not want to persuade everyone to get married, because when people return to the city on a large scale in the future, their marriages will be put to a severe test.
The married educated youth chose to divorce, and their children suffered pity.
It will take at least ten years for the planned economy to fade away from the historical stage and for the remaining problems to be gradually resolved.
Anyway, to put it bluntly, there are many things that make a poor couple sad.
Chu Hong hesitated for a while before saying, "Whether it's Lingtou Village or our Lingxia Village, there are many hillsides and few good farmlands. If you are interested, you can also run a breeding farm or plant fruit trees."
"Really?" Zhang Jianming's eyes lit up. He and Gu Ci had a good relationship before, and he had gone to Lingxia Village to look for Gu Ci several times.
Of course I know that the breeding farm in Lingxia Village is now taken over by Gu Ci.
Therefore, I understand that the most important thing in a farm is scientific feeding and maintaining cleanliness and hygiene. This is much easier than working in the fields, and the work points are high, and you can have a good meal often.
Don't ask him how he knew that. There's no need to tell him directly. I went to Secretary Song's house for dinner a few times, and the food was either egg custard, fried duck eggs, or pickled duck eggs.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that Gu Ci enriched himself. After all, they separated and raised more chickens and ducks.
In addition, there are bound to be some defective eggs that are damaged in the farm, and they are all sent to the village committee so that those who need them can exchange them with coarse grains.
Of course, the price is very affordable, even the poorest families won’t feel bad about it.
In order to ensure that everyone has a share, we can only stipulate that each family can exchange five eggs at a time, and guarantee two turns every month.
In fact, it is impossible for there to be so many defective eggs at the farm. It’s just that after the number that should be sent to the purchasing station is reached, we can give everyone some benefits here.
Of course, we told others that each family would exchange an egg or a duck egg.
If everyone has a share, it will be kept more confidential and no one will spread it.
Chu Hong did not have purely good intentions. It was just that after their village set up a breeding farm, this year the leaders asked them to help nearby villagers get rid of poverty and become rich, and create a harmonious collective.
Furthermore, the reason why the people of Jingou Village took action before was because they were poor.
Besides them, there were also people from other villages sneaking around the farm.
It is not possible to run an individual business now, and the profits from the Lingxia Village breeding farm do not go into Chu Hong's family.
But there are too many people staring at them, which is not a good thing.
Only by making all the nearby villages prosperous together can their family become less noticeable.
And you can also gain a good reputation.
That’s why Chu Hong suggested to the educated youth to start a breeding farm: “Yes, if you are interested, you can go and learn. We can provide chicks and ducklings.”
The educated youth were now very excited. This was like a pillow being delivered to them right away. They couldn't wait to sign the contract.
Of course Chu Hong couldn't just agree to it: "You have to discuss it with the village cadres first, then write a report and submit it to the city. Once they agree, come back to us."
Zhang Jianming immediately said, "It's raining heavily today. The branch secretary and the captain are either in the village committee or resting at home. They are easy to find. We will go and discuss it with them. When everything is done, we will come back to find you."
Chu Hong thought of the last time she saw Chen Mei with a big belly and a swollen and haggard face, so she also said, "I'll go with you. Chen Zhiqing's belly is too big, I have to suggest that Secretary Su send her to the hospital for a checkup."
The educated youth also knew that Chen Mei had stolen Comrade Song's elder sister's man. Normally, they would wish to see Chen Mei get into trouble, but they didn't expect that Comrade Song would still care about Chen Mei. They couldn't help but look at her with admiration.
I think she is worthy of being the director of the Women's Department. She has a very high level of awareness.
In fact, Chu Hong is neither highly conscious nor a saint.
She just felt that it was a good thing for her eldest sister to leave the Su family. Otherwise, the hardship that Chen Mei was going through now was caused by her eldest sister.
Besides, Su Hongqi had other thoughts. He wanted a son, and even if it wasn't Chen Mei, he would have found another female comrade.
What’s more important is that Chen Mei is also an educated youth, and the higher-ups are now paying attention to the situation of educated youth. She doesn’t want to be implicated if something happens to Chen Mei.
She is now the director of the Women's Department. It is her job to do her job and care about women and children.
Moreover, the Su family wanted to save face, and going to their house and pointing out their shortcomings was actually like a slap in the face, which was absolutely an insult to their face.
But I still have my reasons.
The educated youth also held umbrellas and accompanied Chu Hong.
It was a rainy day and cold outside. Secretary Su was a man who took good care of his health, so he had already gone home.
There are two daughters-in-law at home, one is washing yesterday's clothes, and the other is washing wild vegetables.
Now when I work in the fields, I am not only covered in sweat, but also in mud, and if I don’t wash off, there is a smell.
Moreover, Su Hongwei's wife gave birth to another son last year, and he has to wash diapers every day.
It is actually difficult to wash wild vegetables because there is a lot of dirt in them. If you don’t wash them clean, you will eat mud and sand when you eat them.
Chen Mei's belly was big, and even if she sat on a low stool and washed a large basin of wild vegetables, her waist would still ache and feel uncomfortable.
Aunt Su, who was still picking beans, urged Chen Mei: "Can you be quicker? We are just waiting for the wild vegetables to be put into the pot."
Chen Mei thought that her husband was still sleeping in the house and her father-in-law was drinking tea and smoking tobacco. However, Su Hongwei still felt sorry for his wife and was holding his little son in his arms.
She felt aggrieved and couldn't help but have red eyes: "How long will it take me to wash so many wild vegetables? Mom, come and help me wash them."
Aunt Su rolled her eyes in annoyance: "I'm old, my eyes are blurry, how can I see clearly?"
In fact, she didn't want to take a shower. She was so tired squatting there. It had rained in the past two days and the temperature had dropped, so the water was ice-cold. She really didn't want to touch water.
He still said to the younger daughter-in-law, "Second sister-in-law, help your eldest sister-in-law wash the vegetables first."
Liu Fangfang hadn't finished washing the diaper in her hand yet, so she said calmly, "Mom, wait until I wash the diaper and put it in the dryer, Xiaobao won't have any diapers anymore."
