"Shu Xi, you have no idea how lively Lao Liu's village is. It's amazing."
Tiantian deliberately kept Song Shuxi in suspense, just to make her anxious.
Song Shuxi understood and quickly showed her sincerity, "Tiantian, I brought you a lot of snacks, including wine-filled candies, shrimp cakes, milk candies, and various cakes like shaqima and poria cocos cakes..." Tiantian swallowed her saliva every time Song Shuxi mentioned something, and finally she was so greedy that she couldn't stand it anymore.
"Okay, Sissi, I'll tell you, everything."
Song Shuqian snorted proudly and said, "You little brat, I don't even know you." After getting the guarantee, Song Shuxi swiftly took out the plate for snacks, put all the things in it, and ate them at her leisure.
When she bought things, she also thought of Tiantian. It is said that a person’s name suits him/her. Tiantian is really sweet and likes all sweet things.
I peeled a big shrimp crisp and Tiantian liked it immediately. The combination of her favorite sweet and her favorite black sesame is super delicious.
Tiantian began to tell Song Shuxi the story she had seen. "This year, a large number of educated youth went to the countryside. It is said that all the junior and senior high school graduates have gone there.
Lao Liu's village is also registered in the commune and is considered a relatively wealthy brigade. When something like this happens, it’s the first thing the leader considers. This time, their village was assigned 14 educated youth, 8 boys and 6 girls.
The youth cadre center was an old house in the village with only two rooms, one for men and one for women, and each room could accommodate up to eight people.
But now, including the old educated youth, there are 14 female comrades and 17 male comrades.
There is no place to live.
There was no other choice, so the village chief had to propose that some of the educated youth live with their fellow villagers, while some continue to live in the educated youth site. "
Tiantian took a sip of water and looked at Song Shuqian, waiting for her to ask questions.
"It's not very convenient to live in a fellow villager's house. This time I went to the old city and visited a large courtyard. There were two families living in a room of 15 square meters, separated by a curtain. There were also siblings who shared a room and slept on bunk beds.
To be honest, I was shocked at the time. This is too inconvenient. I later found out that housing was tight and there was no other choice but to do this.
The educated youth and the villagers have no blood relationship, so aren't they afraid of something happening? "
Song Shuqian was really confused.
Tiantian explained to her, "There are also techniques for the village chief to select people. Generally, female educated youth have to live with other girls in their families, or two female educated youth live in the same room. Male educated youth are arranged more casually, living in the same room with boys from the villagers.
But there were indeed a lot of problems. The educated youth disliked the villagers for withholding their food rations, and the villagers disliked the educated youth for being pretentious. Some quarreled over living habits, some quarreled over how much work to do, and some villagers even stole things from the educated youth’s houses.
The list goes on and on. "
Song Shuqian concluded, "So the ones who suffered were the educated youth?"
"That's not the case. Some female educated youth know how to use their advantages. There is still a big difference between city kids and village kids. Village kids go to the fields to pick up wheat ears as soon as they can walk. At 17 or 18 years old, they are already strong laborers. They are exposed to the wind and sun, and their skin is dark and rough. No matter how good their foundation is, it won't be good-looking.
In addition, it is difficult for villagers to exchange some money, and they cannot afford to buy skin care cream. The most important thing is that after working all day, people go home and fall asleep immediately. Few of them like to be clean, and it is normal not to wash their feet or brush their teeth at night.
The educated youth from the city couldn't stand it. They lived in the same room and quarreled every day. "
What Tiantian said is indeed normal in rural areas. Before Wei Jianguo got married, he wasn't that particular about cleanliness. After getting to know Song Shuxi, he observed her living habits and then tried to get closer to her, which led to the current clean-loving Wei Jianguo.
Tiantian also complained about her husband, Lao Liu, "You don't know, when we first got married, Lao Liu didn't wash up at night and would just crawl into bed. His socks were so dirty that he could stand up. I punished him a lot, and it took a while for him to get used to what he is now."
What Tiantian didn't say was that her fighting skills were comparable to Lao Liu's, but she was slightly better because of her special abilities. If Lao Liu didn't wash himself clean, he would not only be beaten but also have to sleep in the living room.
Song Shuqian...Wei Jianguo has always been a very nice person, but she didn't say it out loud for fear of causing others to be jealous.
"It's not a big deal that those educated youths quarrel with the villagers every day. Haven't they caused conflicts over time?"
Tiantian changed the subject, "It didn't take long, just one week before something happened. The educated youth were all 17 or 18 years old, full of youthful energy, and they would fight if they couldn't make it through. But they were no match for the villagers and were beaten badly.
The educated youth were also very powerful. After being beaten, several of them ran to the county to find the educated youth office and said that the villagers were abusing the educated youth. Their injuries are evidence of this. "
Song Shuqian... is really young and energetic. It would be better for the county magistrate to be in charge now.
It is very troublesome to offend the village chief in the village. Not to mention other things, when they assign work to you, they will give you more dirty and tiring work, and no one can find fault with it.
Not to mention, you will have to ask the village chief for a letter of introduction, ask for leave, etc. in the future. All it takes is a bit of trickery for these educated youth to handle it.
Moreover, humans are social animals and like to stick together. Even though the family members in the compound fight with each other like black-eyed chickens and will fight if they don't like something, once you get outside, the compound is a whole and if they are bullied, everyone will help.
Many people in the village have the same ancestor, and this phenomenon of forming groups is even more serious.
She thought so and said so.
There should be some understanding people among the educated youth, at least the older ones should know.
Tiantian frowned, "It would be great if they were as clear-headed as you. I don't know if the old educated youth took care of it, but the young educated youth who had just arrived were unwilling to suffer any loss. The Educated Youth Office investigated thoroughly and determined that both parties were wrong, so they were both punished with fifty lashes.
But these educated youth felt that they were treated unfairly. I swear to God, there was nothing wrong with the way the Youth League Office handled this matter. It was all for the benefit of the educated youth.
As a result, they went to the committee to report the village, saying that the villagers went mushroom picking and hunting and did not hand in the proceeds, thus fleecing socialism.
The committee was like a cat that smelled blood, and went to search the village with people.
The educated youth were indeed not making false accusations. The villagers had an unwritten rule that they should keep small prey for themselves and hand over large prey to the village. "
Song Shuqian's mouth widened. "They are... they are really going to offend the villagers. They will be miserable in the future."
"That's right. When we got back, we happened to run into the committee coming to search. You know those people. They finally had such a legitimate reason, so why would they give up? They went to the villagers' houses and searched and destroyed everything.
It was just a coincidence that Lao Liu had just returned. There was also a person in the village who worked in the Public Security Bureau and another who worked in the county government.
The three of them worked together to use both soft and hard tactics, and gave up a lot of things, before they managed to suppress the matter. Otherwise, if you are charged with stealing public property, you will have to go to the farm. "
Speaking of this, Tiantian also felt a little sad.
What kind of world is this? It is not allowed to pick some wild vegetables and mushrooms on the mountain behind your own house.
"Now the villagers and the educated youth have become mortal enemies," Song Shuqian felt that these educated youth were asking for trouble. Stealing someone's money was like killing their parents. Because of their commotion, the villagers will no longer be able to go to the mountain to get things.
Without mountain products, the villagers would have a hard time relying only on the harvest from the fields.
"Not at all, it's a deadly feud. Those who had educated youth living in their homes used all sorts of methods to force the educated youth to voluntarily move out. The village chief was in a dilemma and said, the county didn't give any money, this is the condition of our village, if it really doesn't work, you can do it yourself. Anyway, he just said one word, I can't do anything about it.
It's the kind of situation where nothing matters. If you want to stay, then figure out a way out yourself. If you don't want to, then report it. This is the situation in the village.
Seeing that the village chief was determined not to help, the new and old educated youth raised some money together and built two more rooms for themselves, two rooms for each male and female educated youth. Although it was crowded, at least they had a place to live. "
"I can imagine the miserable lives they will lead in the future. These educated youth are really brave to offend the entire village."
