"I think we should just pick a capable woman from every household, and let whoever is capable take over."
The lady in the green headscarf rolled up her sleeves and made a serious suggestion.
Her words attracted many people's agreement!
"This is a good idea. It will save others from taking advantage of the situation."
But some people are unwilling to do so: “There are only 20 places in total. Are there only 20 capable people in our village?
In my opinion, everyone should take turns, these 20 this year and those 20 next year.
This way, no one will suffer a loss, and everyone can earn more income.”
“Hey, this is also a good idea!”
The mole-faced lady curled her lips and put the dung fork aside: "It's easy for you to say that, this is a factory, there are real jobs.
Will the factory allow you to replace people at will?
If every village is like this, wouldn’t it be chaos?”
When the villagers heard this, they realized it was true.
The atmosphere became tense for a moment, and no one dared to speak easily.
All of them looked at Captain Lu with burning eyes.
Captain Lu was smoking his pipe leisurely, showing no intention of talking.
You must be kidding. There are so many families in the village, and no matter which family he chooses, he will offend someone.
The villagers have to work out a set of rules and then make the final decision.
Captain Lu waved to Secretary He, and the two began to chat casually.
When everyone saw this, they all started whispering.
They gathered in groups of three or four to discuss the matter in detail.
Finally, a respected person in the village said, "Well, I have an idea, let's listen to it.
Many people in our village have split up their families. According to the family before the split up, each family will be counted as one person. "
This way, there are exactly eighteen families, and there are two places for the educated youth sites.
Captain Lu was very satisfied with this, as he had originally thought so too.
But some people are not satisfied. A woman with a pointed face and monkey cheeks said dissatisfiedly: "Now that we have divided the family, we can each live our own lives.
What Uncle Lu meant was, if one of us goes to the cannery, does that mean we have to divide the money among the other companies?
Why? We work so hard and in the end we still have to pay them.”
"Yeah, I don't think that's fair either."
Master Lu stroked his beard and said calmly, "Then what do you think? If we choose his family, your family won't agree.
If your family is chosen, others will not agree. In the end, no one can say for sure.
My method is that you can choose who to choose from among your family members and discuss it among yourselves. "
After Master Lu finished speaking, he gave Captain Lu a barely perceptible glare.
Captain Lu touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly.
Although this method was his idea, he couldn't say it out loud.
If it weren't for Mr. Lu's status, he wouldn't have pulled out an eighty-year-old man in such a cold weather...
"Alright, alright, let's go back and discuss this matter, and gather at the brigade headquarters tomorrow morning.
The commune asked us to submit the list the day after tomorrow, so everyone should do it as soon as possible."
After saying this, Captain Lu rubbed his hands, turned off the loudspeaker, and quickly walked towards his home.
Oh my god, it’s so cold today, my feet are so frozen that I can’t feel them anymore.
It is still more comfortable to sleep on the big kang at home. The kerosene lamps at the educated youth site are always lit until night.
Everyone sat in the room in silence. If the distribution was really done that way, then their youth cadre could get two places.
Niu Liye coughed lightly, pursed his lips and said, "We male educated youth won't participate in this work, right?
I see that most of the people we hire are aunties, and they are very meticulous in their work.”
"I think so too. This job selected me to quit."
Li Hualin was the first to express his opinion. He had seen several female educated youth working on this, and they were busy in the kitchen even in the cold weather.
A layer of sweat appeared on my back. This is a painful job, whoever wants to do it can do it.
Among the male educated youth, even if some were unwilling, they were too embarrassed to say it out loud at this time.
Finally, everyone's eyes fell on the dozen or so female educated youth.
Wu Yuqiao raised her hand and said, "I can't do this job. It's tiring and hot.
My hands were burned before and they are still a different color from the rest of my skin.
I recommend Sister Guihua, she is both capable and knows how to make canned food. She is the perfect candidate.”
"I also recommend Li Guihua."
Niu Liye raised his hand, not only because they had a good relationship, but also because Li Guihua was indeed capable!
“How about this, everyone vote, and I’ll go into the house to get a notebook.
Each person writes a name on a piece of paper, and the two people with the highest number of votes can go.”
Li Hualin came up with a good idea and everyone nodded.
When everyone has written their names, Li Hualin and Niu Liye will call out the votes.
The final candidates were Li Guihua and Zhang Zhiqing.
No one had any objection to this. They were indeed the more capable educated youth in the educated youth site.
"Thank you for your support. When I get my salary, I will take out five dollars a month to improve the food for everyone."
Li Guihua is a carefree person, and she spoke in a very proud manner at this moment.
Not to be outdone, Zhang Zhiqing quickly followed up by saying, "I'll also contribute five yuan a month. Thank you, everyone!"
"That's great, I'm waiting for your meat."
Wu Yu smiled so hard that her teeth were visible, with her small canine teeth sticking out. Her playful look caught the eyes of several male educated youth.
