There was no response at the scene, and the scene of everyone responding to the call did not appear. He Yaoming and the other four suddenly felt a little insecure.
Chen Jingyi felt that these people's ideological awareness was really low, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "How can such people still live among you? Don't you feel angry? I think you are clearly numb."
Luo Mantang stood among the nine commune secretaries. Although it was cold, he still felt comfortable all over.
The educated youth also have their advantages. When they cause trouble, they have reasons and evidence. What's more, most people really can't deal with them. This is also the advantage of being educated and having common sense.
But today, that idiot Ji Changgeng hasn't come yet, so he can say whatever he wants.
Qin Xiao walked in with a dark face. He walked slowly, but each step he took was very firm, which made people see his suppressed anger at a glance.
"The comrade Ji Xia you reported is my lover. I just want to ask one thing: are you willing to take responsibility for every word you say?" Qin Xiao asked.
He had a stern face, with sharp edges and corners that were delicate yet resolute, revealing a chilling hardness that made people dare not look directly at him.
Shen Yan and the others didn't dare to look up. He Yaoming barely glanced at him and said with difficulty, "Comrade, we are responsible for every word we say!"
"Okay!" Qin Xiao asked, "You just talked about a lot of big principles, but I didn't understand. Why did you report her? I want to know clearly, what is the reason for you reporting her?
Or, in other words, what outrageous act did she commit that made you report her?"
He Yaoming cleared his throat and raised his voice, "Let me explain this matter clearly. I won't dwell on other trivial matters. I'll just talk about one major issue. Comrade Ji Xia said she asked several large factories in the county to donate money to build roads and schools for the Seventh Production Team. But she instigated the Seventh Production Team's secretary to form a group and only allowed certain comrades to join. We were among those who were excluded. Isn't this creating division?"
Qin Xiao said, "Okay, this is a big thing, but there are also small things. Since you said there are small things, then explain the small things clearly as well!"
Before He Yaoming could say anything, Shen Yan asked, "She distributed meat to the villagers, why didn't she give it to us?"
puff!
Someone couldn't help laughing out loud, and the others followed suit. The scene was quite funny for a while.
Someone who was brave enough said, "These educated youth are also like this. Do they hold a grudge against others just because they didn't get to eat their meat?"
Everyone in the surrounding villages knew that the Seventh Production Team was building roads and schools. The main reason was that their food was so good that word spread quickly from one person to ten, and then to a hundred.
"Is there anything else?" Qin Xiao asked.
The five people looked at each other, and they didn't dare to say anything. They talked about such a serious matter, why didn't anyone stand from their perspective and speak for them?
"False accusations will result in legal consequences. Please remember every word of your accusation." Qin Xiao's tone was so cold that He Yaoming and others couldn't help but shiver.
Ji Xia saw what several people were thinking and glanced at Wei Zhenguo coldly. Wei Zhenguo knew that it was his turn to stand up. Looking at Luo Mantang's expression, he might be involved in this matter.
Wei Zhenguo stepped forward and called out Luo Mantang's name. "This is also an educated youth from your Tuanjie Commune. They must have come to you before they came. Although you didn't manage it well, why don't you tell us what happened from your perspective and what you think!"
Luo Mantang was startled when he saw Wei Zhenguo's unfriendly tone. "Secretary Wei, the main thing is that Ji Changgeng didn't come today. There's not a single person in their team who's supporting the county's production. I held a meeting yesterday, and they said no one was coming. I thought, 'How can this be?' Before dark yesterday, I went to their production team in person. Wow, everyone was eating with huge rice bowls. The rice was piled high, and the meat was... Tsk tsk, I was saying, the brothers in other teams don't even have black steamed buns to eat, and you guys are eating alone. It clearly shows that there's something wrong with your thinking!"
At this point, there was a hissing sound in the team, everyone was slurping their saliva, and couldn't help but talk about it.
Wei Zhenguo heard Luo Mantang's intention to accuse Ji Changgeng of something sinister, and said dissatisfiedly, "Get to the point!"
"It just so happened that these educated youth also went to Comrade Ji Changgeng and asked to participate in the labor. Comrade Ji Changgeng said that they had problems with their thinking and talked about their usual behavior. He meant that since their behavior was not good, they were not allowed to participate in the labor that was paid at this time. I also thought that Ji Changgeng's behavior was wrong and asked him to correct it, but he neither gave the educated youth a chance nor listened to me."
Luo Mantang completely shirked his responsibility with just one sentence.
Wei Zhenguo also felt that this matter was a bit tricky for a moment.
Luo Mantang laughed and said, "Comrade Ji Xia, Ji Changgeng also said that the money for the production team to build roads and schools was all obtained by you from applying for money from the county factories. I told him to be frugal during these difficult times, and he said it was you who required that each person have two kilograms of rice and flour and three ounces of meat every day. Regardless of whether they could finish it or not, they had to cook according to that amount."
This is sowing discord!
Ji Xia walked out with a smile and said, "Yes, that's what I said. Two kilograms of rice and flour, half of which is coarse grains, and three ounces of meat. I just want to ask you, if I give it to you, can you finish it?"
"We can finish it!" they said in unison.
Ji Xia said, "Once the village roads are repaired and the school is built, it will be almost spring plowing time. Without good health, how can we work so hard during the spring plowing and summer harvest? I admit that I am taking this opportunity to let the members of the Seventh Production Team take better care of their health and help them overcome temporary difficulties. This is indeed a kind of welfare. Because of this, these educated youth are not entitled to the right to work. It is because of me that I don't want to give them this kind of welfare."
