As soon as Ji Xia left, Ji Changgeng took Xia Ying away and sent her to the Youth League Office.
Zhang Hao, director of the Youth League Office, was getting off work when he saw Ji Changgeng coming. He hurried out to greet him and saw Xia Ying. "What's going on?"
Xia Ying's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Zhang Hao pitifully, as if she saw a relative. Even the bald spot on Zhang Hao's head seemed cute to her.
Ji Changgeng pointed at Xia Ying and said, "Director Zhang, this educated youth has ideological problems. Our commune doesn't dare to accept him. I'm sending him back to you. As for how you deal with him, we don't care."
Over the past year, the entire Bing County has been engaged in large-scale construction. With the booming export of machine tools, automobiles, and other industrial products, the industrial development of the entire Bing County has been driven, and a number of small processing plants have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
This requires a large amount of manpower. The county town is recruiting workers almost every day, and educated young people are the first choice. Everyone is too busy to plan for their future, so how can they have the time and energy to fight!
Hearing that it was an educated youth from Jijia Village, Zhang Hao was even more shocked. "Isn't it good to stay in Jijia Village? So many people have begged for it but couldn't get in. Why don't you cherish the opportunity?"
Xia Ying didn't regret it, because she still felt that everyone was having a meal together, and Ji Xia shouldn't be treated specially regardless of his status.
Even if they make an exception, there are only eight people at their table. What's wrong with adding her?
This was the first time Xia Ying had seen someone eating alone so confidently.
"I'm not wrong. They were the ones who went too far!" Xia Ying wiped her tears. "Who allowed them to eat alone and get special treatment? This is the capitalist style. What's wrong with me raising an opinion? Why did they send me here? I don't accept it!"
Zhang Hao didn't know the whole story after hearing this, so Ji Changgeng told him the whole story very objectively and explained,
"Everyone knows Jijia Village is Comrade Ji Xia's mother's home. This kid's been away for over half a year, and now he's finally back. Every household is bringing out food to entertain him. What's wrong with that? How does this become capitalist behavior?"
Ji Changgeng was so angry that his hair stood on end. He pointed at Xia Ying and said, "Director Zhang, how dare we hire someone like that? He acts like a capitalist all the time and even comes to report us. We don't dare hire someone like that!"
Xia Ying said righteously, "How good is your meal? Do you dare to say it in front of everyone? And since we are having a meal together, why do you eat so well and we don't? Why can't we report this kind of differential treatment?"
Just because it's Ji Xia, and just because you're village cadres, does that mean you're superior to us and can eat better than us?"
Ji Changgeng was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and his hands were trembling as he pointed at Xia Ying, "You, you, are simply making trouble!"
At this moment, the other several staff members of the Youth League Office came out and were watching from the side. Because it involved Comrade Ji Xia, they were unable to judge right from wrong for the time being.
Ji Changgeng took a deep breath to calm himself down and explained, "Comrade Ji Xia came today, and the village didn't make much preparation. They just said they would kill two New Year pigs.
As everyone knows, we are all from Comrade Ji Xia's family. She gave birth to a child in the middle of the year, and some village elders prepared a chicken for her, intending to give it to her for nourishment. But then we had to rush through the summer and autumn harvests, and then we were busy at the factory, so we didn't have a chance to go to Beijing for a while."
It is really difficult to travel these days. You can't go anywhere without a letter of introduction.
To go from here to Beijing, you need to use national food coupons or Beijing food coupons to eat.
At that time, there was indeed no opportunity to go to Beijing. Besides, Ji Jianguo and Xie Sufen also said that there was no need to go alone for such a matter. Ji Xia was back and she should be treated well.
It's not worth the long trip.
This is why every household brings chickens to be slaughtered as soon as Ji Xia returns.
At this point, everyone in the Youth League Office felt that this was the truth. The people of Bing County might not know who the county magistrate was, but they must know who Ji Xia was.
Without Jixia, there would be no Bing County today.
What's more, the people in Jijia Village should not only give Ji Xia two old hens to make soup, but also worship him as an ancestor.
"Just then, Comrade Ji Xia returned and came to tell us about the factory he was planning to build in Jijia Village and the commune. The village elders brought two chickens over and slaughtered them to nourish the child. After all, she had just given birth, and her family didn't even send her an egg. We, as elders, feel bad for her."
I never expected that Xia Ying would threaten to report me, saying that I was engaging in capitalist practices.
Everyone knows what happened next.
Zhang Hao was speechless. This matter was not a big deal. If it happened in another village, for the sake of other people, he would persuade Ji Changgeng to take the person back.
Turning big things into small things and small things into nothing is the principle of solving problems.
But the matter involved Ji Xia, who was someone Jijia Village didn't want, so he didn't dare force him back.
"How did they become capitalist?" Zhang Hao said angrily. "Does eating two chickens make them capitalist? People in China eat chicken every day. The state-owned restaurant even had chicken stewed with mushrooms today. Does that mean we can't eat that anymore?"
Xia Ying looked at the faces of these people, all of whom were condemning her. She regretted it now and cried, "No, they ate it themselves and didn't give it to us!"
This doesn't make sense. If everyone hears it, they will think that this female educated youth is really delicious. If people don't give her food, she will report them. Who would dare to want such a person?
Who isn’t afraid of being reported?
Zhang Hao was too lazy to pay attention to the woman. "Secretary Ji, the person has been delivered. Let's find another place. The farm is short of people right now. Xiao He, take someone to send Xia Zhiqing there tomorrow!"
