When Liu Baorui heard the captain calling him, he panicked and stood among the educated youths, not daring to step forward. However, Liu Baozhu was not afraid of the captain and stood up and said:
"Uncle Captain, the decision to let Meng Xingye step down and my brother take charge was made by the educated youths in our educated youth home. You won't disagree, will you?"
"I was wondering where the food Meng Xingye had embezzled went. This..."
Liu Baozhu's meaning was very clear. If you help Meng Xingye, you will be the one to embezzle the food!
The captain was also angered by Liu Baozhu and pointed at her and said:
"Little Liu Zhiqing, you should have evidence when you speak and act. You slandered Meng Zhiqing so much and even wanted to throw dirty water on me. Do you have any evidence?"
"Don't think I don't know your little tricks. Aren't you just afraid that I won't agree with your brother being the head of the Youth Institute?"
"I'm telling you, if I wasn't afraid that you would eat up a year's worth of food in advance and then have to borrow from the team, do you think I would be willing to take care of you?"
After saying this, the captain looked around and asked sternly:
"Let the new educated youth Liu be the person in charge. Do you all agree?"
An educated youth who had a good relationship with Meng Xingye before stood up and said:
"I don't agree. I still agree that Meng Zhiqing should be the head of the Youth Institute!"
After he said this, he stamped his feet and urged the other educated youth to stand up together!
Urged by him, three more educated youth gritted their teeth and stood up!
A total of two female educated youth stood up, one was Yang Xiaohong who was like a cannon before, and the other was an old educated youth who was usually taciturn.
A total of 5 people stood up to support Meng Xingye, which made Meng Xingye feel very uncomfortable!
Seeing that there were no more educated youths supporting Meng Xingye, the team leader asked Meng Xingye to take out a pen and paper and write a statement that he voluntarily agreed to Liu Baorui being the head of the educated youth institute and that he would be responsible for any consequences.
After Meng Xingye finished writing, the captain took the statement and said:
"Come on, whoever agrees that the new educated youth Liu will be the person in charge, please sign and put your fingerprints here!"
"Don't think about having all the good food and drinks. If you run out of food, you'll have to borrow from the team. The team won't give you any spare food!"
"Little Liu Zhiqing, Big Liu Zhiqing, you two come and sign and put your fingerprints first!"
When Liu Baozhu heard that she had to sign and put her fingerprints on the document, she hesitated. She knew how poor her brother was. He had no food to eat today and no tomorrow. If the team didn't back him up, they would all starve to death!
Liu Baozhu was about to retort that he would not sign, when he saw Liu Baorui, this stupid teammate, go up and write his name and press his fingerprint with a fountain pen!
Liu Baozhu was so angry that she almost died. How could she be so stupid? This was obviously a trap!
Liu Baorui finished signing, and seeing that Liu Baozhu hadn't come over, he called out anxiously:
"Baozhu, come over here and sign. Once you sign, it's our final say!"
Liu Baozhu still didn't want to sign, so she made excuses to the captain:
"Uncle Captain, my brother represents this matter, so just use two of his signatures!"
The captain would not tolerate her and directly said:
"No, what if something happens and you regret it? Otherwise, you can stand up now and oppose your brother from being the head of the Youth Institute!"
When Liu Baorui heard that Liu Baozhu's refusal to sign meant she was against him, he forcibly dragged Liu Baozhu to the front of the paper and forced her hand to press her fingerprint!
The captain didn't force it, as long as the fingerprints match, it's fine, there's no denying it!
The team leader called out the names of the educated youth who had just shouted happily, and they signed reluctantly!
Seeing that everyone had signed, the team leader said to Meng Xingye and the other educated youth who disagreed with Liu Baorui's management:
"The brigade has records of how many work points you have received and how much food you have been allocated. We will check them later. Hand in the food rations you have earned during this period, and give us the rest!"
"From now on, you will share the food with the other educated youths in the Youth Farm. And for next year's private plot, you six can also draw a separate plot. Is that okay?"
Meng Xingye and the other five educated youths looked at each other and all six of them nodded in agreement:
"We agree that from now on the six of us will eat together and stay separate from the other educated youth!"
The captain nodded and said:
"Okay, that's it. Today's meal will be your farewell dinner. Let's all go eat!"
After saying this, the team leader no longer cared about these educated youth and just left!
In fact, these six educated youth were very surprised that they could eat separately. The reason was that these six educated youth were basically the ones with the highest work points in the educated youth compound!
Needless to say, Meng Xingye, although he is not a good person and always wants to gain benefits, he was the head of the Youth League Home after all. So in order to leave a good impression on the team leader and to set an example for other educated youth, he has always tried to get the highest work points!
Normally when there is work to do in the team, he would usually participate in part unless it was extremely tiring or hard, so he earned a lot of work points.
The remaining five are considered to be the most active among the educated youth when it comes to work, especially Yang Xiaohong. Even though she is a girl and is usually as talkative as a cannon, she really works without sparing any effort!
Most of the private plots in the Youth League Institute were cultivated by her. Although the yield was low because the private plots were too large to manage, she put a lot of effort into it!
It can be said that without her, let alone the current production, it would be difficult for the educated youths in the Youth House to have regular meals!
Several people ate separately from other educated youths in the Youth League. Not to say that they had enough dry food for every meal, but they certainly didn't have to drink thin porridge at night like before!
After dividing the food, Yang Xiaohong looked at the food for the six of them, which was smaller because there were fewer people, and said happily:
"Although we don't have much food, we have even fewer people. Let's pick some wild vegetables in the spring. Even if we eat dry food every day, we can still get 80% full!"
The other four were also honest people, and they all nodded vigorously in response to Yang Xiaohong's words!
Meng Xingye was the one who thought more. He frowned and said:
"Don't be too happy too soon. I don't think this is a good way to deal with it. Otherwise, they will eat up all the food and then cheat us. What should we do if they ask us to borrow food every day?"
"Or maybe they don't even lend it to us, but just steal it. Can we stay up all day to watch them?"
"Once the food is stolen, it will be useless to ask the captain to take action. The food has already been eaten, and they have no food to pay back. The most they can do is ask them to write an IOU. To them, this is no different from writing an IOU!"
