Chapter 156 The Moon of Yesteryear
Things in this world are not so simple to determine. She only half understood it. Xie Ning only said, "They represent the gentry class, so naturally they won't dig their own graves."
However, Xie Ning felt that they underestimated the power of the "people." It wasn't that they didn't understand, but rather that the scales in their hearts always tipped towards their own interests.
Xie Ning pulled a book from his bookshelf. "This is Marx's 'Capital.' You can read it more often when you have free time."
She has so many books, experiences, and knowledge, which are propelling her to grow step by step.
Yun Ai'ai made a face. She really liked the professional books her teacher showed her, and she also liked physics. But when she read these kinds of books, she could fall asleep instantly. But since her teacher had said so, she had to read them carefully.
The guard platoon got to work early the next morning. Xiao Guo lived with the soldiers in the guard platoon, and Chuncao naturally couldn't stay with Xiao Guo all the time. Yesterday, everyone made room for the brother and sister.
Therefore, Xie Ning had the guards set up a separate cave dwelling next to Erniu for Chuncao to live in.
When Zhao Le came to give Xie Ning acupuncture, he also took a look at Chuncao. The child's body had no other major problems. As long as she ate well and took good care of herself, she would recover in less than a month. However, Zhao Le noticed something else.
“Changning, as you know, I studied psychology abroad. This child has a serious mental illness. I’m not very good at this, so I can’t help much. Please tell Xiao Guo to pay more attention to the child.”
There's nothing more that can be done. These days, it's already difficult enough to survive, so who cares about mental health issues?
"Okay." Xie Ning replied, turning to get his newly written article. Zhao Le read it carefully, sighing as he read. It was an explanation and suggestion about Marxism-Leninism and the current situation in China.
"You have such a deep understanding of Marxism-Leninism, why don't you..." Zhao Le said halfway through, then remembered Xie Ning's health and felt like slapping himself in the face.
Seeing Zhao Le's frustrated expression, Xie Ning smiled and said, "It's not because of my health, but because I don't have enough time and energy. You know I'm busy. In this profession, very few people can replace me. If I retire, who do you think can take my place?"
However, politics is different. Although some people are exceptionally talented and thrive in the political arena, while others are slow to understand the trends, as long as they are not too stupid or emotional, they can generally navigate the situation.
Zhao Le, we lack female leaders, so even though we are now vigorously advocating women's liberation and promoting the idea that women can hold up half the sky, and that women's contributions are in no way inferior to men's, they are still ignored and marginalized.
Zhao Le took a deep breath, stared intently at Xie Ning, and said in a low voice, "I originally wanted to wait until the news was finalized before telling you, but since you've given me another bargaining chip, I'll let you be happy in advance. Commander Qiu is expected to become a member of the Central Organization Committee."
"Is it Commander Qiu of the Women's Independent Division?" Xie Ning remembered this person. She had once taught at the Women's University, and Qiu Qin was the university's Dean of Education.
Zhao Le nodded emphatically, "She is a very capable female general."
Xie Ning smiled slightly, clearly in a very good mood. "Yes." She wasn't the only one working hard, and she was genuinely happy.
Not long after the New Year, Hanwazi left. Yun Ai'ai was very reluctant to see him go. Hanwazi, who used to only know how to eat, had grown up and was capable of taking care of things. The two of them were working hard for their common ideal.
Life in Nanniwan was naturally tough, but the toughest was for the first batch of troops who went there. Because they had to catch up with the farming season, they simply built thatched huts to live in, and while they were reclaiming wasteland, a team was assigned to build cave dwellings.
Those who couldn't use the hoe would cook, and even the political commissar was no exception. When he was fighting on the front lines, he lost one hand in an explosion, so he carried food with one hand to feed the soldiers working on the front lines.
Even under such harsh conditions, they remained full of enthusiasm and even held various competitions, such as which class could clear land the fastest and who could swing a hoe the fastest.
During the meeting, Xie Ning heard a report that the 359th Brigade had reclaimed a total of 1,200 mu of wasteland, harvested 1,200 shi of grain, 1.648 million jin of vegetables, dug more than 1,000 cave dwellings, and built more than 600 houses throughout the year.
They directly transformed barren mountains into fertile fields.
