Niu Liye blew on the paper in his hand, waiting for the ink to dry, then he stood up and prepared to go out.
Zhou Guoliang also reacted at this time and wondered where he was going.
He quickly stepped forward and said, "I'll go with you..."
This is what Niu Liye wanted most! !
It would be great if he had someone to share his anger with.
When we arrived at the brigade headquarters, Captain Lu, Secretary He, and several other cadres were sitting together.
Watching Secretary He writing and drawing non-stop, Niu Liye secretly wondered if they were calculating the autumn harvest.
Captain Lu felt a little dizzy from the sun. He just put his hand on the pipe on his waist and looked up to see Niu Liye and Zhou Guoliang standing there.
He asked in surprise, "Niu Zhiqing, Zhou Zhiqing, why are you here?"
Several other junior cadres also raised their heads and looked at the two in confusion.
Niu Liye swallowed his saliva. Before he said anything, he could already foresee how much anger he would attract if he told this matter.
Zhou Guoliang patted his arm and walked forward with his head held high.
Niu Liye pinched his thigh and secretly encouraged himself.
I followed him anxiously.
"Is Zhou Zhiqing taking a break at the factory today?"
Zhou Guoliang responded with a smile and turned to look at Niu Liye.
The next second, Niu Liye stepped forward with a fearless attitude: "Captain Lu, Secretary He, I have something I want to tell you."
Seeing his solemn expression, Captain Lu laughed and said, "What's the matter? Just tell me directly. Look at what you did. I thought you educated youth had pointed out something serious."
In recent years, the relationship between the educated youth and the villagers has been very good. The educated youth teach the villagers cultural knowledge, and when the villagers go to work, they also teach the educated youth how to farm.
So as soon as Captain Lu finished speaking, the people around him burst into laughter.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Niu Liye's face. Isn't this a big deal?
After a long period of mental preparation, he said softly, "We are here to ask the captain for leave."
Captain Lu took a puff of his pipe and waved his hand nonchalantly, "I thought it was nothing, just ask for leave.
Besides, aren't we all taking a break these days? Why would we even ask for leave?"
Zhou Guoliang looked at Niu Liye and couldn't get a word out of him. He sighed helplessly, walked up to Captain Lu and said, "Some people in our educated youth camp want to take a long vacation, from autumn to winter..."
Before Zhou Guoliang could finish his words, the director of women's affairs slammed the table angrily and stood up: "Aren't you guys just fooling around?
The autumn harvest is just around the corner and even the children in school are on holiday and preparing to work. Why are you asking for leave at this critical moment?
You are still alone, this is simply giving up, it's nonsense!!!"
The accountant stroked his beard, blinked his eyes, and said in confusion: "Zhou Zhiqing, other educated youth are not like you, who have jobs in the county.
If they take leave for the autumn harvest, they won't get much food and money at the end of the year.
Can the food we have last until next year's distribution?"
Zhou Guoliang gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, then told others that he was also planning to take a leave.
His words made several cadres gasp.
For a salary of forty or fifty yuan a month, you ask someone else to do the job for you, and you just let someone else do the job?
They work so hard, but the family only gets 500 or 600 yuan a year at most. Little educated youth Zhou alone earns 500 or 600 yuan a year. How could he bear to take a leave?
Zhou Guoliang felt a little bitter as he listened to the questioning around him.
After all, without any concrete news, he couldn't publicize it.
So he could only bite the bullet and say to Captain Lu: "There are some things we will have to explain to you later.
Now I implore the branch secretary and the team leader to approve leave for the educated youth."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Go ask around in the village. In previous years, during the autumn harvest, the elderly and children all went to help with the harvest. Even pregnant women in the village would help with the harvest with their big bellies."
"That's right. Look at this list. We have already started to divide which team will be responsible for which piece of land."
Captain Lu looked at the two people solemnly and did not speak for a while.
Niu Liye felt even more uneasy when he saw Captain Lu's expression.
"You two, follow me!"
Captain Lu said this and walked into the house with his hands behind his back.
"Old He, go ahead and calculate the losses of the Liyuan this year with them."
"Alas, alas!"
Captain Lu sat on a chair, staring at the two people: "Tell me, what is the reason?"
There were no outsiders here, and Zhou Guoliang knew very well that if he didn't explain clearly, the leave would never be approved.
He was silent for a long time and wrote a draft for a long time before he finally put everything on the table.
When Captain Lu heard the news, he almost lost his grip on the teacup in his hand.
The shock in his eyes was beyond words. He put the teacup on the table and turned it around several times with his hands behind his back.
This is an opportunity for the educated youth to change their lives......
"I can approve your leave..."
Before Captain Lu finished speaking, Niu Liye excitedly thanked him.
Captain Lu raised his hand slightly to stop him from saying the following words: “But I made it clear in advance that with so many people suddenly missing from work, we still have to distribute per capita rations at the end of the year.
There are definitely many people who are unwilling to do this. So let’s put it this way, at the end of the year, whoever of you takes leave will have 10% of the per capita rations deducted.
Then I can explain to the people in the village!"
Niu Liye thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
Captain Lu felt a bit overwhelmed when he thought about what he would face next.
He waved at the two people and said, "Alright, leave the rest to me. Let's go."
On the way back to the educated youth point, Niu Liye's lips were trembling with excitement. He excitedly put his hands to his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, stood by the river, and roared with all his might.
Zhou Guoliang was also a little excited, but after working in the factory for so many years, his emotions became very restrained.
Niu Liye finally vented his anger and said to Zhou Guoliang, "Captain Lu is such a good man!
It is a blessing for us to meet such a captain. "
Zhou Guoliang nodded gently: "Indeed, no matter where I go, I must not forget the kindness of Captain Lu."
You know, Captain Lu made this decision under tremendous pressure.
Sure enough, when the day of autumn harvest officially began, the villagers saw that there were only a few scattered people still there, and when they learned that most of them had taken leave, they were instantly furious.
