The reality is similar to what Song Shuqian guessed.
In this era, there is a gap between city dwellers and rural dwellers. When facing the city people, the villagers feel inferior and eager, while the city people are superior. This can be seen in the family compound, where there is a serious barrier between the military wives and between the city dwellers and the villagers.
This inferiority complex can help the educated youth gain benefits, but it can also become a knife that backfires on them.
Song Shuqian believes that at the beginning most of the villagers sincerely accepted the educated youth and really hoped that they could help them, even if it was just teaching their children to read.
When that sincerity is trampled upon, the backlash will be severe.
It was not until the educated youth went to the committee to report that the two sides were completely set against each other.
Song Shuqian was a little curious. How could the Youth League Office not know such an obvious question?
She asked, "How did the Youth League Office handle it?"
Tiantian was speechless. "At first I thought the Youth Educated Office was not doing anything and was even mocking them. But when I saw the number of educated youth, I was shocked. Each nearby village had more than a dozen educated youths.
When food is distributed in the village, 70% of the food is distributed per person, and 30% is labor. That means 70% of the food is distributed per person. Maybe the villagers didn’t realize it at first, but they would understand once the grain was distributed. No village welcomed the educated youth, as they worked worse than the ten-year-old children in the village.
In this situation, the Youth League Office could only appease the child with words and dared not do anything else.
It's like a son caught between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, feeling suffocated."
It was the first time that Song Shuqian heard of the distribution ratio of 70% for people and 30% for labor. She was a little curious, "70% for people and 30% for labor, does that mean that as long as you have your household registration in the village, you can get food?"
"In principle, it is like this. In practice, it is linked to work points. In our village, the more work points you have, the more food you get."
Song Shuqian was keenly aware of the drawbacks of this policy. The more capable you are, the more you suffer, and slacking off seems to be the norm, but she said nothing because it was not her business to comment.
"What happened between the educated youth and the villagers later?" This is what Song Shuqian was curious about.
"The village chief is quite prestigious. He is a man in his forties and he won't bother with a teenager. He also ordered that villagers should not hit people. Men are willing to obey, but women are different. They say disgusting things and isolate educated youth for no reason. These are all child's play.
The cruelest thing is that all the aunts and daughters-in-law in the village have their own families, and their relatives are connected to each other in the surrounding villages. What these educated youth did is no secret. Within two days, the news spread throughout the area.
After learning about the situation, people from other villages also became wary of the educated youth from their own villages.
A home for educated youth was built with the subsidies provided by the educated youth, and then they were allowed to live their own lives behind closed doors.
They are not fools. They immediately realize that they were implicated by those educated youth who love to report others.
In the end, the educated youth in our village were isolated not only by the villagers, but also by the educated youth in the surrounding villages. They themselves are not that united and there are constant conflicts. "
You can hear the relief in her sweet words. It seems that there is a lot of resentment towards these educated youth.
Song Shuqian joked, "It's really fun for you to have a show to watch every day."
"It's quite lively and we can't finish talking about it for three days and three nights. Let's talk about your belly first. Xixi, have you eaten too much? I tell you, those who say that being able to eat is a blessing are all lies. Eat in moderation. It's not easy to have a baby if your belly is too big."
The clothes she usually wears are very loose, and it was only when Song Shuxi moved her waist just now that Tiantian noticed her belly.
Tiantian was really worried about her and had already stood up. "Come on, I'll go to the hospital with you. We should go and have a look. We still need to be careful. Your belly is too big."
Song Shuqian just felt warm in her heart and clapped her sweet hands, "Don't think too much, I'm pregnant with twins." She said it lightly, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Tiantian stood up excitedly, "That's great, you can have two children after suffering once."
She quickly realized, "Let's go to the hospital to consult about how to take care of the fetus and what precautions to take. In a few months, we will have two healthy cubs.
Wait until this baby comes out of my belly and let the three of them play together. "
Song Shuqian also thought this was a great idea.
Speaking of the child, she quickly got up to get something, "This donkey-hide gelatin is for you. You can eat it in the second trimester, four to six months, if you have symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations and shortness of breath. You can't eat it in the third trimester, for fear of over-supplementing.
Milk powder also provides you with nutritional supplements.
This notebook contains the precautions recorded after consulting doctors in my hometown. They all said that eating more deep-sea fish is good for the fetus. When we have nothing to do, we can go to the beach to see if there is anyone selling fish.
I'm giving you the book. Please return it to me after you finish reading it. Oh, by the way, pregnant women cannot drink too much sugar, you have to control yourself. I won’t share the sugar with you. I will give it to you after you give birth.
This is the gift I brought for you. These shoes were made by an experienced craftsman. They are non-slip and warm to wear in winter. I’ll give each of us a pair, one size larger. "
Song Shuxi prepared a pair of snow boots for Tiantian. She spent a lot of money and had someone make two pairs for her.
Tiantian said thank you with a smile, "What a coincidence, I also prepared a gift for you." She took out a knee pad and put it in front of Song Shuxi for her to see. "How is it? It's made of wolf skin. If we want to go out to watch the fun in winter, we won't be afraid of the cold if we wear it."
The two smiled at each other. They really had a tacit understanding and were both thinking about how to spend this winter.
Song Shuqian shared with Tiantian what she had seen along the way and how she saw the world. Finally, she said, "I really like Sijiucheng. I plan to buy a courtyard house there in the future. When Wei Jianguo retires, we will live there in our old age."
Tiantian laughed at her, saying, you are so young and you are already thinking about retirement.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!
Song Shuqian didn't care, "I'm also taking care of my old age now."
This time it was Tiantian who kept silent. The life of the two of them now really was one of retirement. Thinking of this, the air seemed to have become sweeter.
After visiting his room, Mo Ying ran over to stick to Song Shuxi. He missed her very much.
Song Shuqian also let it sleep on her legs.
Tiantian looked at it with envy.
She also wanted to have a dog of her own. He didn't have to be as sensible as Mo Ying, as long as he could accompany her.
Somehow we got to talking about job transfers, and Tiantian said, "You live here, so news is slow. The third regiment commander has been transferred to civilian work, and the new one is quite young, I heard he's less than 30 years old, and he just got married."
The two were gossiping about the new third captain here. Unexpectedly, the third captain had a connection with Song Shuqian. He was her first blind date, Zhang Hongjun.
This is what chatting with good friends is like. There is no focus. They just say whatever comes to mind and no one knows where it will end.
Now the two of them talked about Wei Jianguo and their mission.
Due to confidentiality, they know nothing. But this did not stop them from complaining, "I know what they did. Wei Jianguo's injury has just improved. I have given him a lot of good food recently, which is why he recovered so quickly."
Tiantian also said, "That's right. When Lao Liu came home this time, we really didn't dare to let him do any work. We just wanted him to recover quickly. We must not leave any sequelae. The village chief secretly gave Lao Liu his treasured ginseng. If there is a real danger, this thing can at least save his life."
"We should have prepared earlier. It's better to be prepared."
