The more the captain thought about it, the more he felt that Lu Zhiye was right.
At this moment, the bell for work rang, and Lu Zhiye stood up: "Captain, Secretary He, I'm going to work first."
Secretary He was stroking a cigarette in his hand with a smile on his face.
"Go ahead."
Lu Zhiye went to work with a relaxed look on his face.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
On the way to work, many people greeted Lu Zhiye with a smile.
Even the people at the educated youth site smiled at him.
No matter if they are just trying to look good or for whatever reason.
This is a situation that Lu Zhiye welcomes.
Who doesn't want to be respected every day?
It's better than being criticized and spat on while walking on the street.
Lu Zhiye felt that such a thing was like a toad on the back of one's foot. It didn't bite people, but it annoyed them.
For the next two days, the sky was gloomy and it did not rain as expected.
But this did not make people let down their guard, but made them even more nervous.
At four o'clock in the morning, Lu Zhiye walked under the faint moonlight, crossed the mountains and came to Damu Village.
The cowshed is also located near the back mountain.
Lu Zhiye jumped into the back window. There were two rooms in the cowshed. Through the open windowsill, he found that there was no one inside.
He felt heavy in his heart. He calculated the time. It was at most five o'clock now, and there was no one in the cowshed, which meant that everyone had to get up early to do their work.
Or they would go out to the back mountain to get something to fill their stomachs.
Lu Zhiye felt that the former possibility was very high. Among all places, people in the bullpen were assigned the hardest and most tiring tasks.
The place where they worked was a separate area. Some people could not finish the work on the first day, and their work points were pitifully few, so they had to get up early every day to work.
Many people who truly contributed to the country were exhausted during this labor reform.
Lu Zhiye hid all the luggage under the bed and took out the millstone from the space.
He was now extremely strong, and he pushed the millstone against the earthen wall. After a while, after hitting it more than ten times, the two earthen houses collapsed.
"Boom!" The sound of the huge wall and house collapsing caused several families nearby to light kerosene lamps.
The cowshed here didn't even have a brick bed. Lu Zhiye saw that all the luggage was intact under the bed.
He clapped his hands contentedly, and before anyone could react, he quickly ran back the mountain.
After finishing work in the morning, I took a nap. When I went to work in the afternoon, the news about the incident in the neighboring Dam Village had spread to Dahe Village.
"Hey, have you heard that the cowshed in the neighboring Dam Village collapsed?
Fortunately, there was no one inside, otherwise there would have been “many people.”
A skinny old lady was sitting there resting, talking to people about things in the next village.
"Big cow, how did you know that?"
"Isn't my daughter-in-law from Daba Village? She went back to her parents' home this morning and saw the cowshed in chaos. I heard that several older cows couldn't handle it and fainted."
Lu Zhiye said sorry in his heart.
But he knew in his heart that as winter was approaching, the cadres of Damu Village could not let these people fend for themselves.
Without a house to live in, if one person gets sick and freezes to death outside, you could say that they can't survive, but what about four or five people?
They didn't dare to do so. Although this group of people were sent down to the countryside, the Revolutionary Committee would regularly arrange people to come down and inspect whether this group of people were doing their labor reform and working well.
Sure enough, the team leader who was patrolling the fields to check on everyone working received the notice and hurriedly rode his bicycle to the commune.
Secretary Wang paced in the yard with a worried look on his face.
There are still some red marks on my face from being scratched by my wife.
Seeing that people from several large teams had arrived, he motioned for everyone to come in for the meeting.
Secretary Wang picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "You should have heard that the cowshed in Daba Village collapsed. Now these people have nowhere to live, and it is impossible to let them live outside."
Someone said, "Isn't there a straw shed next to it where cows live?"
Secretary Wang glared at him and asked, "What should we do in winter?"
The man shut up angrily.
When the team leader Lu Jianshe heard the words "people who were demoted", he remembered Lu Zhiye's words.
He couldn't help but secretly look at Secretary Wang.
The team leader of Daba Village spoke up: "Secretary Wang, didn't you say before that you would give them your own house to live in? Then the team can use their work points to pay for it."
Secretary Wang sighed heavily and said, "Our house has been lent to a few educated youths by that careless person in my family these days.
As you know, we have another batch of educated youth coming here to support rural construction, and they are already on the way.
Some educated youth whose families were well-informed felt that the educated youth settlements were too small to accommodate them, so they moved out and stayed in villagers’ homes.”
The leader of Daba Village showed a look of disapproval on his face: "These educated youth are just too busy. Can't they squeeze in a little bit?"
“It is not a good idea to let the educated youth live together with the people in the cowshed.
So I called everyone here this time to ask which brigade can accept these people. "
Secretary Wang picked up the teacup and blew on the tea leaves on it. The smoke obscured the anxiety in his eyes.
Everyone started to refuse.
"There are already four or five people in our cowshed. We can't accommodate them anymore."
"Yes, Secretary, with more people, we need to share more food rations. Our brigade's harvest is not very good every year. We can't take care of it."
When people from several teams spoke, everyone turned their attention to Captain Lu, who had been silent.
Captain Lu was still secretly guessing what Secretary Wang meant.
