In the end, Zhang Wunai's family got a spot. Because she was willing to spend a lot of money, she bribed many families with an egg to vote for her family's Jiangang.
Another vote was cast for Li Sannai's granddaughter, Sun Meihua.
Both of them have only junior high school education. Their learning ability is good compared to others. They are also down-to-earth and hardworking, which is noticed by the members.
When it was announced that Zhang Wunai's son was chosen, the other party stood up and smiled happily at everyone.
Others joked, "We voted for you, so don't go back and deny it."
Grandma Zhang Wu really thought so. After all, her son had been selected, so what did it matter whether he gave it to her or not? She had given away so many eggs, more than twenty of them, and she felt bad.
The captain added a sentence after announcing the list.
"You two will study together, but if anyone doesn't perform well, they will be sent back. We will then select another candidate from the remaining pool. After you return, you will be supervised by the entire team. If any of you is found to be incompetent, you may be replaced."
Hearing that there was a possibility of being replaced, Grandma Zhang Wu thought about it and decided to give the eggs to everyone. If other people held a grudge and said that her son was incompetent, then she would be at a loss.
She quickly agreed with everyone, "Don't worry, don't worry. I, Zhang Wumei, will give you what I say. I'll send the eggs to your house right away!"
Everyone had a happy smile on their face, thinking that if the captain hadn't added the last sentence, it would be uncertain whether they could get the egg.
Although some people are not happy about it, they have already made their choice and there is nothing they can do. They have to accept it if they are not selected.
Suddenly someone stood up and said, "I disagree."
The captain frowned and looked over. He didn't say it during the election, but only said it after the election. It was hard for him not to think that the other party was deliberately making trouble for him.
"Zhang Congfa, what do you disagree with? Why didn't you mention it when I mentioned it earlier? Why are you only bringing it up now that everyone has chosen?"
Zhang Congfa's family also had a suitable candidate, but his son was not chosen, and their votes were even much less than those of others.
"Zhang's boy, what are you dissatisfied with about the election results?" The captain looked at the Zhang's boy who had been standing next to his father without saying a word.
The Zhang family kid lowered his head and mumbled, "No, nothing."
Zhang Congfa patted his shoulder in frustration. "What do you mean 'nothing'?" He looked up at the team leader with discontent. "Why should our team's pig-raising work be handed over to a little girl? She's going to get married someday. If she learns these pig-raising techniques and takes them to another family, what will we lose? Aren't we just training someone for nothing?"
Originally, many people were dissatisfied with Zhang Congfa, as his reputation in the team had always been bad. But after hearing what Zhang Congfa said, it seemed to make sense. Even though women can hold up half the sky, girls still have to get married. Li Sannai's eldest granddaughter, Sun Meihua, is already eighteen years old and will be getting married soon. By then, wouldn't they be making wedding dresses for others?
"What Zhang Congfa said makes some sense."
"That's what I mean."
"Captain, how about we choose again?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the other candidates’ families and the candidates themselves who were not selected lit up, and they looked at the captain expectantly.
The captain frowned and looked at Li Sannai's family.
Li Sannai made a quick decision and stood up immediately. "Why would this be so difficult? At worst, I can just look for someone within our own team! If I can't find anyone, I'll find Meihua a wife!"
The others were somewhat surprised by Li Sannai's decisiveness. "Who would be willing to marry into the family when they are in such good condition?"
Li Sannai retorted, "Don't worry about whether they're willing or not. Anyway, I'm putting my words here. If they're selected, they're selected. My Meihua won't take her technology outside!"
Li Sannai's eldest daughter-in-law, Sun Meihua's mother, opened her mouth to say something, but Sun Meihua, who was standing next to her, gently touched her wrist and shook her head slightly.
Li Sannai's eldest daughter-in-law didn't say anything in the end.
But she was also a little worried. Those who married into the wife's family usually came from poor families or were not good enough themselves. Who would be willing to marry into the wife's family if they had some ability? If her daughter's life was wasted for a pig farming job, Li Sannai's eldest daughter-in-law would never agree to it.
But outside, she decided to give her mother-in-law some face.
The captain immediately made the decision, "Okay, everyone has heard it. Do you have any questions now?"
He looked at Zhang Congfa, who was causing trouble, with a bad look.
Zhang Congfa muttered to himself, and under the unfriendly looks of Li Sannai and the team leader, he said, "It's better this way."
The team leader snorted coldly, "I now declare that the candidates to go to town to learn pig farming are Comrade Sun Meihua and Comrade Li Jiangang. Meeting adjourned!"
Those who were not selected felt a little regretful when they saw Zhang Congfa had fallen silent. Why didn’t they hold a re-election?
…
After the autumn harvest, the educated youth had less work to do.
Whenever there was something happening in the team, they were never notified. Besides the fact that they were outsiders, the team members had no confidence in these educated youth. They were incompetent at anything and were always the best at causing trouble. They would always clamor to go to the educated youth office in the town to file a complaint whenever there was something going on.
It would be strange if the team liked these outsiders who loved to stir up trouble.
The most important thing is that he is obviously not capable of doing anything, but he still acts like he is the boss and looks down on everyone in the team.
After several years of polishing, their tempers have been much improved, but the people in the team still dislike them very much.
"Why are they making so much noise so early in the morning? Didn't they say they were going to hand in the grain today?"
The educated youth watched the villagers walking and discussing in the distance after the meeting.
"Who knows them? They hold meetings every day for no reason, but they don't even bother to invite us. It's obvious that they don't consider us as their own family." A male educated youth said dissatisfiedly.
"We don't consider ourselves as fellow villagers, so it's not hard to understand why others don't consider us as their own." said a male educated youth who seemed rather taciturn.
"Song Liangrong, whose side are you on? Why are you still speaking for them? Look at them, if they treated us as their own, would we treat them like this? When we first arrived, our eyes were not eyes and our noses were not noses, and they still expect us to have a sense of belonging to them?" Qin Xuemei said.
Being forced to go to the countryside is hard enough, and then you have to come to such a shabby place, with endless work to do every day and have to think about these trivial things.
After struggling for several years, she had set her sights on An Jingzhi from the An family. She thought that if marrying him could reduce her suffering, she would consider him. At least An Jingzhi was good-looking and a high school student. Maybe he could go to the city in the future and take her with him.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a loser in the end and had to return to the village.
