Everyone took their lunchboxes and sat down, and Guo Dongxu began to host this unique meet-and-greet.
"The vast land offers great opportunities, and revolutionary youth aspire to serve the country. Our leaders taught us to take root in the countryside and contribute to the construction of our motherland."
Covered in mud but with hearts forged in patriotism, today our youth settlement welcomes six more fine comrades. Let's all welcome them to join our revolutionary ranks!
"Splash..."
A round of applause rang out from the kitchen, making Jiang Xile's scalp tingle. She was already familiar with these slogans and declarations.
But judging from everyone's current state, she still knows too little.
Seeing everyone around him suddenly become excited as if they'd been injected with adrenaline, Jiang Xile gritted her teeth and joined in. As the saying goes, if you can't beat them, join them!
The applause lasted for a long time, and Guo Dongxu waved his hand indifferently, and the kitchen finally quieted down.
"Every grain of rice on your plate is the result of hard work. I propose that we eat first, and then begin the self-introductions, followed by the recitation of quotes. What do you all think?"
Although it was phrased as a question, the result was obvious: with Guo Dongxu's suggestion, everyone stopped staring longingly at the food in their lunchboxes and immediately began to get to work.
“.......
For a moment, the only sounds in the kitchen were swallowing and chewing. After about ten minutes, everyone put down their lunchboxes and sat back down in their seats.
Guo Dongxu stood up from his seat.
"Unite and strive together to create prosperity; I think everyone knows me without me having to say it."
My name is Guo Dongxu. I am 23 years old and come from Tianjin. I have been sent to the countryside in Jinbu Brigade for five years and am one of the first batch of educated youth in this educated youth settlement.
Elected by everyone, I was appointed as the site leader, responsible for coordinating and communicating all matters, big and small, between the educated youth site and the team.
If you need any help in the future, please feel free to come to me anytime. I will do my best to assist you. Thank you!
Another round of applause erupted, which showed that Guo Dongxu was indeed very popular as the squad leader.
After Guo Dongxu finished his self-introduction, he nodded to Zhang Hao next to him. Receiving the signal, Zhang Hao did not hesitate and immediately stood up.
"I am Zhang Hao, I am 22 years old, from Baicheng, and I have been here for four years."
Following Zhang Hao's lead, the former educated youth took turns introducing themselves.
"I am Ji Qi, twenty-two years old..."
"I am Ye Bai, twenty-one years old..."
"I am Mao Gang, twenty years old..."
"My name is Huang Yingjie, I'm twenty-one years old..."
"I am Qiu Wenbin, nineteen years old..."
"I am Du Jingfu, nineteen years old..."
"My name is Shi Zhiming, I'm twenty years old..."
There were nine male educated youth initially, and with the addition of Duan Chengyu, Mu Tianye, and Liu Hongtao, there were a total of twelve.
After the male educated youth finished their introductions, the female educated youth also began to introduce themselves, with the first to speak being an older woman.
"Hello, new comrades. I am Su Jinxiu, 22 years old this year. I have been here for more than four years, only a few months later than our station chief."
"If any of you ladies have anything you'd rather not discuss with Commander Guo, you can come and find me."
It's clear that Su Jinxiu is a cheerful and generous person; her every smile and gesture makes people feel very friendly.
After Su Jinxiu sat down, the other female educated youths stood up one by one.
"My name is Yang Hongmei, and I am twenty-one years old..."
"My name is Li Xiulan, and I'm twenty years old..."
"My name is Zhu Yuefang, and I am twenty-one years old..."
"My name is Ren Qi, and I'm twenty-two years old..."
"My name is Yin Dongxue, and I'm twenty years old..."
"My name is Bai Xiaoqin, and I'm nineteen years old..."
"My name is Duan Nianzhen, and I'm nineteen years old..."
"I am Zhai Qiaoyun, I am eighteen years old this year, and I arrived here on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a few months earlier than you."
Jiang Xile smiled and spoke up:
"My name is Jiang Xile. I am seventeen years old and just graduated from high school. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."
With Jiang Xile taking the lead, even the timid Li Xiaojuan and Zhou Caixia still managed to introduce themselves.
After this round, another half hour had passed, and everyone at the educated youth settlement had gotten to know each other.
Next came the daily routine for the former educated youth: studying the quotes of great leaders.
Starting with Guo Dongxu, each person took turns reciting one passage to strengthen their ideological awareness and consolidate the theories they had learned.
"In order to correctly understand the two different types of contradictions—the contradiction between ourselves and the enemy, and the contradiction among the people—we should first clarify what the people are and what the enemy is."
At the present stage, during the period of building socialism, all classes, strata, and social groups that support, endorse, and participate in the cause of socialist construction belong to the category of the people.
All social forces and groups that resist the socialist revolution and are hostile to or sabotage socialist construction are enemies of the people.
Guo Dongxu recited a long passage of Chairman Mao's quotations at length, and the others were not to be outdone, each beginning their own speech in the order of their self-introductions.
Jiang Xile couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had crammed on this knowledge in the car beforehand. Although she hadn't reached the level of photographic memory, she had managed to remember some of it after studying it for so long.
Before long, it was her turn.
Even if you lose, you can't lose face. If you show weakness at this moment, it might become a handle for someone with ulterior motives to attack you.
She's already defeated the Zombie King, so how could she be stumped by these things in books?
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xile began to recite:
"Oppressed peoples and oppressed nations must never entrust their liberation to the 'wisdom' of imperialism and its lackeys, but can only achieve victory by strengthening unity and persisting in the struggle!"
"Good! Jiang Zhiqing recited this passage well, with great momentum and vividness. There are more and more comrades in our educated youth settlement now."
I hope everyone can always unite, fight against all odds to forge a loyal heart, and overcome all difficulties to carry out the revolution!
With Guo Dongxu's concluding remarks, today's meeting officially came to a close.
With permission, everyone lined up to clean their lunchboxes. At the same time, the duty roster for male and female educated youth to cook, chop wood, and fetch water was updated again.
Following the principle of experienced mentors guiding newcomers, the six newly arrived educated youths were each assigned to one of the six experienced educated youths at the educated youth settlement for mentoring and guidance.
At the same time, it is hoped that through this method, the six new educated youths can integrate into this group as soon as possible.
