A few days later, the autumn harvest was over. Seeing the granary full of grain, everyone was overjoyed. After all, it was just as everyone expected, a good harvest. When the grain was finally distributed, everyone was beaming. After all, everyone was looking forward to having two more meals after the autumn harvest.
Of course, in rural areas, once the autumn harvest is over, it means that the busiest days of the year are over. After the winter wheat is planted in the fields, it is time to start preparing for winter, and firewood is a major item. After all, it is extremely cold in winter, and without firewood, people can freeze to death.
So after the wheat was planted, the members of the Dongfeng Brigade started running up the mountain. Not only did they chop firewood, but they also needed to get more wild vegetables before the weather got cold. After all, wild vegetables could also fill their stomachs. At this juncture, something big happened.
That day, Li Aiguo came back from outside in his car as usual, but he was worried as soon as he entered the door. He went to find the team leader Li Tiezhu first and told him what he saw in the city. Li Tiezhu didn't care much at first, but after listening to Li Aiguo, with his many years of political experience, he immediately felt something was wrong and immediately called a meeting with several village cadres.
At this time, everyone was gathered in Old Li's new house. Li Tiezhu was the first to speak: "Aiguo, tell everyone what you saw outside!"
Under the gaze of the crowd, Li Aiguo slowly said, "I went out for a car ride this time and found that the trend in the big cities has changed. First, the colors of the clothes worn by the women are not so bright anymore. Then, there are many more people wearing red armbands on the streets. They arrest young men and women everywhere, saying that they are corrupting social morals and having affairs with women.
It turned out that on that day in Shanghai, Li Aiguo was having dinner with a friend he knew, and he saw a young man wearing a red armband on the street, grabbing a young couple and constantly saying that they were adulterers and corrupting social morals.
The man and woman were very dirty at the time, especially the woman, whose hair was pulled several times. Not only that, the group of people wearing red armbands kicked and beat them, shouting that they wanted to criticize them.
Li Aiguo wanted to go forward and say something, but was stopped. Zhao Qinglai had warned him not to get involved in such a matter, or else he would get himself into trouble if he offended that group of people.
Li Shuanzhu was the first to speak: "Aiguo, if you put it that way, it's quite scary. How can you hit someone? Even if they did something wrong, they don't deserve to be beaten!"
Several others agreed, "Exactly, we've never seen anyone getting beaten here!"
Li Aiguo glanced at the uncles and aunts who were sighing and groaning, and said seriously, "Not only that, my friend told me that the students there are no longer attending classes properly. Some have even started beating up their teachers, saying they want to criticize them."
"This is a mess! You can't hit the teacher!"
"That's right, aren't teachers all learned people? What bad things could they do?"
At this time, the team leader Li Tiezhu spoke up, "Everyone, look at the situation outside now. What should we do?"
Li Shuanzhu: "Captain, what happens outside is their business. We can't do this here!"
The team leader said, "I know we can't do this. The problem is that this trend will eventually spread to our team. What will we do then? I know that there are already several young people in our team who are dating. This can't go on!"
Old Man Li: "Captain, do you mean to let them settle down and get married quickly?"
Li Tiezhu looked at his brother in agreement. He knew that his younger brother could best understand his thoughts. He glanced at everyone who suddenly understood.
"That's exactly what I mean. Not only that, from now on, any man or woman who's even remotely interested in each other should get married right away and stop hanging around in those little woods. What's going to get them any better?"
As soon as Li Tiezhu mentioned the grove, several old men smiled knowingly. Who hadn't taken his wife to the grove when he was young? Although they thought the team leader was a bit too much, after thinking about the situation outside, they didn't raise any objections.
At this time, Li Youcai suddenly said, "Isn't it said that the schools outside are starting to get chaotic? If the schools in our commune are also in chaos, what will happen to the children in school?"
When someone raised this question, Li Tiezhu immediately expressed his thoughts. "I'm thinking, why don't we build our own school? If a junior high school isn't enough, an elementary school will be fine. And since a bunch of educated youth are coming over right now, we'll have teachers by then."
"That's good. The school is in our brigade. We can keep a close eye on it and nothing like what happened outside will happen. The kids can also learn to read peacefully."
Li Aiguo also agreed with his uncle's idea. It is better to be educated at any time. Although there is a big commotion outside, those factories only recruit people with education.
Finally, the matter was settled. Although Li Mingxi was not in the main room, he was able to hear the general idea with the help of space. It must be said that the reason why Li Tiezhu could become the captain of the Dongfeng Brigade was that he was really capable. He could analyze the future direction through some things, and he was worthy of being a wise man of the people.
Li Mingxi sighed, "Yuezhe, how come these old people are so smart? If I didn't know history, I wouldn't have thought of this at all."
Yue Ze rolled his eyes. "Aren't you talking nonsense? He has been here since ancient times and has experienced much more than you. If he can't think of this, then his life has been in vain!"
"That's right. No wonder I often heard the elders say in my previous life that our generation was truly blessed compared to the older generation."
Yueze: "Alright, stop sighing. Look how late it is. Go back to sleep!"
Li Mingxi slapped her head and said, "Oh, I was so busy listening to them talking that I forgot to go to bed. I have to go back to bed quickly, otherwise those two naughty brothers will scold me again tomorrow." After saying this, she went back.
Sure enough, the next day Li Mingxi got up late and was woken up by his two younger brothers knocking on the door. Then he was laughed at by the two of them, which made Li Mingxi very embarrassed, but these were all trivial matters.
That afternoon, the team leader Li Tiezhu held a meeting for the members, mainly to discuss the conduct issues between men and women, as well as the issue of building a primary school in the Dongfeng Brigade.
No one said anything about the style issue. After all, the Chairman said that love that is not aimed at marriage is hooliganism, especially in the countryside, because of the limited knowledge, people attach great importance to this point.
But many people disagreed with their brigade's plan to build a primary school.
Niu Juxiang yelled directly, "Captain, why are we building a primary school? What are we spending that money on?"
"That's right. Building that thing is a complete waste, isn't it? Besides, doesn't the commune already have a school?"
Although these members knew that going to school was useful, few of them were willing to spend the money. After all, the family worked hard all year round to earn work points, and they were lucky enough to have enough to eat. How could they have the heart to think about sending their children to school?
