By the time the next meeting was held, all the major communes had held small meetings in private.
Finally, the proposal was passed unanimously by a show of hands.
After all, the advanced brigade was too tempting. In this era, as long as you said your brigade was an advanced brigade, it meant high work points, more food at home, and the children in the village would be superior to you when they asked for your relatives.
What's more, there are still so many places available.
"To thank you all for your hard work, Mayor Ji and Secretary Meng of the Municipal Committee will pay for lunch for everyone at noon today!"
There was a cheer from the audience. It was the city leader who invited them to dinner. He could brag about it to three generations.
So in the courtyard of the county government, the team leaders of each large commune sat at a table with ten people, and there were more than ten tables in total.
The chef of the county government canteen swung his spoon so hard that sparks flew out of it. Together with the food bought from the state-owned restaurant, these people were finally able to eat.
Mayor Ji came out holding a teacup and said: "We in Tonghe County have been able to overcome this difficult time thanks to the active efforts of all the captains.
Next, we will implement the principle of serving the people as our only purpose, strictly observe political discipline, work hard, and realize a truly great era of happiness! "
There was applause in the yard.
"In the afternoon, I arranged for reporters from the city to take photos of everyone. In a few days, the award certificates and flags will be distributed to each team by the county leaders themselves!"
Listening to Mayor Ji's words, the captains felt a surge of excitement in their hearts!
There were a lot of fish and meat on the table, but no one dared to eat too much, for fear that they would look ugly in the photos with a big belly.
Even so, there was very little food left on the table.
After dinner, the team leaders were all there patting their clothes.
Captain Lu adjusted his collar and said, "Old He, how about me doing this?"
Secretary He was busy adjusting his pen. He glanced at it briefly and nodded: "Half as good as me!"
Captain Lu: …………
"Come on, come on, captains of the advanced teams, stand over here. Mayor Ji, you stand at the front. Oh, yes, come on, smile!"
The reporter stopped after taking several photos.
The captains of the disaster-stricken teams not far away looked at these people with envy.
Captain Liu of Dam Village felt regretful!
In the past, their brigade and the Dahe Village brigade competed for advancement, alas!
Captain Lu and Secretary He returned to the village in high spirits. Everyone had just finished dinner at this time and did not have to go to work, so they went to bed late.
At this time, they were all sitting at the door chatting.
"Bang, bang, bang!" the captain's horn sounded.
"Everyone, please come to the brigade headquarters for a meeting!"
At one time, many people carried small stools and ran to the brigade headquarters.
The brigade headquarters was packed with men, women, young and old.
The captain told the county’s decision.
These days, for farmers who work hard in the fields, the words of the leaders are everything. Even if some individuals are unwilling, they are overwhelmed by the benefits of advanced brigades, quotas for workers, peasants and soldiers, and recruitment by the communes.
The educated youth were the happiest, as the places in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University required academic qualifications. Compared with most people in the village who had only attended literacy classes, they had a huge advantage.
Zhou Guoliang, in particular, felt a burning passion in his heart. He had spent the longest time in the countryside among all the educated youths in the center, and was also the team leader of the center.
His relationship with the villagers was also acceptable, so he felt that he had a good chance of winning.
The next day, before dawn, the sound of a dozen tractors rumbling into Dahe Village could be heard from the country road.
The captain was puzzled and quickly put on his clothes and walked towards the village entrance.
Sitting in the front row was Secretary Wang of the commune.
When the car stopped, Secretary Wang jumped out and said, "Old Lu, come quickly!"
Captain Lu was shocked and ran away very fast!
"Old Lu, don't say I didn't think about you! I sent the first batch of food to your team first."
Secretary Wang paused and whispered, "This is already considered a relatively good amount of food. Don't say I didn't think about you!"
Captain Lu immediately acted as if he was filled with gratitude and was flattered, and thanked Secretary Wang profusely.
Secretary Wang was very pleased and said, "Hurry up and call someone to move the food. I have to go to other brigades."
"Alas, alas!"
In fact, Captain Lu didn't even need to run to the brigade headquarters to call for help. The tractor made so much noise that many people had already put on their clothes and came out to watch the fun.
"Hurry, go home and ask your father to bring in the food!"
Captain Lu grabbed the child who ran out to watch the fun and gave him some instructions.
"Oh, oh, it's time to distribute the food!"
The child ran home happily.
Lu Zhiye was also called over.
Who makes him strong and capable?
The sprouted wheat could no longer be stored, so everyone rushed to grind it into flour.
Lu Zhiye ground the sprouted wheat into flour and carried it to the cowshed under the cover of night.
When Zhong Wende saw the flour that Lu Zhiye brought over, he waved his hands repeatedly: "This, this is not possible!"
Lu Zhiye grabbed Zhong Wende's arm and said, "Professor Zhong, if you don't eat, what will happen to the child?"
Zhong Wende's eyes welled up as he looked at his pale and skinny son. He only cared about his own moral character as a scholar and not his own child.
Lu Zhiye saw the struggle in his heart and was silent for a while before speaking: "Professor Zhong, I heard from Sihe that you are a teacher in the Department of Architecture and your wife is a mathematics teacher.
How about this, you take two hours every night to teach me knowledge. "
Zhong Wende raised his head suddenly: "This, this!"
Lu Zhiye smiled and touched Zhong Muqing’s head: “My grandma always wanted me to be a cultured person.
They left early and no one taught me.
There is an old saying that goes, “Books contain golden houses and beautiful women.”
I believe our country will need intellectuals in the future. No one wants to work in the fields all his life.
These things will be my apprenticeship gift, what do you think? "
Zhong Wende and Duan Qing looked at each other and said hesitantly, "I'm afraid our identities will be discovered and you will be implicated!"
Lu Zhiye smiled and shook his head: "I am still a landlord, it's still unclear who will implicate whom!"
Listening to his jokes, Zhong Wende finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned around and sat on the bench. Duan Qing filled a bowl of water and handed it to Lu Zhiye: "Why don't you go and give your teacher a cup of tea!"
Lu Zhiye smiled straight to his eyes, knelt there blankly, kowtowed three times, and handed the bowl to Zhong Wende: "Teacher, please have some tea!"
Zhong Wende laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, okay!"
