Chapter 224 Cadres
They got in the car. Jiang Xiaoxiao had already told her elder sister and brother-in-law that she would return to the farm today.
Three people and one driver set off directly.
It feels different to have a special car to pick you up.
However, the car was shaking so much that halfway through the journey, Old Mrs. Song couldn't hold on any longer and had to get off the car to get some fresh air.
The old lady was very old and the road was difficult to walk on. The dirt road was very bumpy. The old lady felt a little carsick, nauseous and wanted to vomit.
Jiang Xiaoxiao helped the man to the side of the road and vomited thoroughly.
While helping the old lady to calm down, I handed her a towel.
"Grandma Song, how are you?"
"What kind of road is this? Why is it so bumpy? I'm almost dead."
The old lady looked at the dirt road ahead. A car was parked on one side of the road, which was full of potholes, big and small.
Although the car has been turned off, the dust that was just stirred up has not yet dispersed in the air.
If the old lady hadn't been so nauseous at the moment, she would probably have coughed for a long time.
Jiang Xiaoxiao took a look and found it was true!
There is no way that the reform has not officially started. Although there are signs of policies, it is still far from the point where we need to build roads first to get rich. To put it bluntly, the road problem in the current rural transportation is absolutely unsolvable.
Their dirt road is a mud pit when it rains, and a dirt pit when the weather is sunny.
It's suffering anyway.
Just like when she first came here, she was used to the asphalt roads in the city, but when she suddenly arrived in this countryside, the roads were torturous enough.
"Grandma Song has only walked half of the way. If it really doesn't work, you and Grandpa should just go back to the county town first. The road behind is even more difficult to walk, and even if this car reaches the foot of our forest farm, we still have to walk up the road behind. Cars definitely can't drive up. Why do you have to suffer this?"
It is really not worth it for the old man and the old lady to suffer like this at such an old age.
This is probably why every time Song Moting went to the county town to see his grandparents, these educated youth never knew that his grandparents were actually there.
Even young people can’t stand such a trip back and forth, let alone the old lady and the old man.
Old Mrs. Song shook her head and said, "Don't underestimate my grandmother. She once participated in a long march of 25,000 miles. At that time, we had to walk more than 100 miles at night, and during the forced march, we also walked 200 miles.
There were pursuers behind us and blockades ahead of us, and that was when planes and artillery shells came at us. My grandmother managed to get through it, not to mention that your little broken road is much better than the roads we had back then."
The old lady took the military water bottle and drank half of it in one breath. She then took out some dried peaches from her bag and put them in her mouth. After chewing them, her expression relaxed.
"Old lady, you'd better not be so stubborn. If it really doesn't work, ask Xiao Li to take you back. I can go alone. We can catch a ride on the road and still make it."
The old man felt sorry for his wife, who had never enjoyed a happy life with him, and now, at her old age, had to suffer in this shabby place. He said that the old lady must not come and must come to this place.
This old woman just wouldn't listen to me, now she's in trouble.
Looking at his wife's pale face, the old man felt heartbroken.
"That's all. Just complimenting you on your better health than mine. Don't worry, I don't have your old problems. Just take care of yourself. Although I am a little nauseous and vomiting, I don't have high blood pressure or diabetes. Unlike you.
You should take care of yourself. If you want to go back, go back by yourself. I won't go back. I have suffered for so long and am already halfway there. You want me to go back! Then all my suffering will be in vain."
The old lady rolled her eyes at the old man, then held Jiang Xiaoxiao's wrist with one hand and stood up.
"Girl, don't mention your dried peaches. They are sour and sweet and taste really good. I ate one and I feel much better. Come on, let's go! Let's continue to take the car. Anyway, didn't you say that we have to walk down the hill when we get to the farm? Let's walk up the hill then.
Let me see what the environment is like. What kind of farm is my grandson living on?"
We continued moving forward and soon arrived at the farm. The car stopped at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, someone had already seen the jeep and immediately notified Li Dahu.
The main reason is that this kind of jeep generally cannot enter the territory of their farm, and any jeep belongs to the county cadres.
Even the captains of their various farm teams did not receive such treatment. It was already considered impressive if they could get a tractor to ride on each other.
Some production teams didn't even have a tractor.
When most people see this military green jeep, their first reaction is that it is a cadre from the county.
So how could Li Dahu not get the letter?
Li Dahu is currently entertaining the director of the county's Youth League Office. I heard that he is here to issue policies.
The director of the Youth League Office is very grand.
Didn’t you see that Director Jin was accompanied by two assistants? I heard that they were all clerks under the director.
I conveyed to him the policy from above. It turned out that there were arrangements for the educated youth this year. Some of them could apply to return to the city. Of course, those who applied to return to the city must have a clean background and pass the political review.
And he is an activist.
Each production team has three quotas.
After all, for their farm, this means the loss of thirty to fifty people in several production teams.
Li Dahu secretly calculated that this was a big deal. Three educated youths left today, and then another group went to the border to provide support. Their production team would lose about two to three hundred people.
For the rest of the people, the land has become too much, but there are not enough people.
I also heard that the higher-ups said that no more educated youth would come, and that the problem of educated youth would no longer exist, which meant that they had to be self-sufficient.
Li Dahu secretly regretted that three educated youth would go today, and five would go tomorrow. In the end, their farm would not have enough staff.
The problem is that no one is willing to move to the farm.
"Captain Li, in this case, you need to organize the educated youth to hold a meeting, and I will publicize the above policy to the educated youth through the radio. And for these educated youth, you need to sort out the quota as soon as possible and hand over the information to me.
I will stay at your farm for only one day at most before I go to the next farm. Other production teams will also send their reported quotas to me as soon as possible."
Director Jin is specifically responsible for managing the affairs of the educated youth returning to the city.
Li Dahu nodded repeatedly. Director Jin was too arrogant, especially at lunchtime. Li Dahu had no choice but to arrange for him to have a meal at their home. The main reason was that the production team did not have a canteen.
It was inconvenient to arrange Director Jin to stay anywhere, so in the end we had to invite him back home.
These three people are at home.
He entertained us with good wine and delicious food.
Director Jin had eaten and drunk his fill, and chatted for a long time. He was worrying about how to send this great man to the brigade headquarters.
As a result, someone came to report that officials had arrived from the county.
Li Dahu also became anxious when he heard this. Why are they coming in waves?
This is eating out of a rich family. Even the production team leader in his own family can't afford to eat like this.
It's not the autumn harvest yet, and we have nothing at home. All the fine grains we have are eaten by these directors in front of us.
What can the cadres use to entertain others?
