"Open the door, open it quickly. You are considered educated people. You don't even open the door when you eat, and you still have the nerve to let the kids watch you." Several women's voices were heard, and the door was knocked loudly.
"Damn, these women are too crazy today." Zhang Pingping cursed.
Chu Jingqiu thought: It seems that Zhang Pingping traveled through time rather than being reborn. If she were reborn, the old Zhang Pingping would never say the word "Oh my god".
Hu Mingyue walked over and opened the door, and three women rushed in. Chu Jingqiu only recognized the fat woman, and the other two should be Goudan's mother and Ermao's mother.
The three of them rushed into the kitchen at once, "What delicious food are you cooking? It smells so good, it made the kids cry."
A woman with puffy eyes and thick lips opened the pot and saw a little bit of soup in it. She dipped her finger in it, put it in her mouth and sipped it, her eyes lighting up. "It's broth! Oh my god! It smells so good!"
The fat lady and another woman whose hair looked like fried dough sticks also quickly dipped their fingers in the soup and tasted it.
The fat wife said with a shameless face, "Hu Zhiqing, do you have any rice left? Can you give some to the children? They are crying with greed."
Hu Mingyue swallowed nervously, "No more, we've finished eating."
"I don't believe it. It hasn't been long since you guys started hiding." The little eyes of Roupiaoyan rolled around, and after saying that, he pulled the oil-cake head and rushed into the house to take a look.
Jiang Qingzhou had no idea what to do with these old women, but he still shouted at them: "What are you doing? This is no different from robbery."
"Jiang Zhiqing, we're all from the same village, so what's wrong with helping each other? Just eating some of your food is like stealing. The child is greedy and wants to eat, and there's nothing we can do. Can't you be kind and give the child some?"
After the fat lady finished speaking, she bumped Jiang Qingzhou with her fat body, almost knocking him down.
Shi Aihong couldn't stand it any longer, so she rushed to the fat lady and said angrily, "Are you still being reasonable? What's the difference between you and bandits? You should raise your own children yourself, why should others give food to your children when they want it?
We are here to support rural development, not to be bullied by you.
We have no obligation to help you raise your children. If you truly love your children, you should do it yourself. You are so shameless to come here and ask for free food and drinks. How dare you do that? "
"Hey my, why is this little girl talking so harshly? What do you mean by shameless? We are all genuine farmers. How can we afford to eat meat? How can we compare with you capitalist ladies?
We're helping you train. You didn't come to the village to enjoy yourself, you came to endure hardship," said Roupaoyan.
Shi Aihong was so angry that she was speechless. She stretched out her arms, blocking the three people and said, "How dare you say such shameless words? Today, while I am here, no one can enter our dormitory."
Youbingtou raised his arm to hit, but Chu Jingqiu stepped forward and grabbed Youbingtou's arm, twisting it backwards. Youbingtou grimaced in pain.
"What? Are you going to take action? You just want to go to the dormitory and see if there is any meat you want to eat. If you are not allowed to go in, it will become a capitalist enjoyment. Go in and take a look!" After saying that, he opened the door and let several people in.
Zhang Pingping opened her mouth, but took back the words that were about to come out of her mouth. The others looked at Chu Jingqiu in confusion.
The women had greed in their eyes and rushed in.
When they entered, they found that there were indeed several enamel rice bowls on the kang table, covered with several books. Several people walked up and pushed the books aside, but found that there was nothing inside. No one noticed that two books had fallen into the basin of water beside the kang.
The women were about to go look in other rooms when Chu Jingqiu spoke up, "Wait, Jiang Zhiqing, go get the old Party Secretary right away! There are counter-revolutionaries here, maliciously destroying the Little Red Book and attempting to disrupt the educated youth's study of the Quotations from Confucius and their cultivation of the Red Heart."
When the women saw the Little Red Book in the basin, they turned pale with fright and left in shame.
"If you run away, I will go directly to the commune to find the director of the Revolutionary Committee and arrest the counter-revolutionaries. There is no need to call the old branch secretary. Think about it, are you going to wait here for the branch secretary to deal with you, or be arrested by the Revolutionary Committee and paraded through the streets tomorrow?" Chu Jingqiu's voice was very light and carried a cold breath.
Several women stopped in their tracks. They understood that if this matter was handed over to the Revolutionary Committee, they might be subjected to labor reform or even sentenced, so they stood there with their heads lowered without saying a word.
After a while, Jiang Qingzhou came jogging with the panting old branch secretary. On the way, Du Jianguo had already understood the general situation.
As soon as he entered the educated youth camp, Du Jianguo started to lecture the old women: "It's you again. You are always greedy for petty gains and you come to the educated youth camp to make trouble again. Do your men need you to eat or drink? How can you be so shameless? You are so thick-skinned that even a three-barreled gun can't penetrate your face.
Chu Zhiqing, we are all from the same village. I am willing to sacrifice my reputation. Please do me a favor and see if this matter can be resolved."
"Old Secretary, it's not that I don't give you face, but you see, they have destroyed the Little Red Book. If we let them go easily, and this matter gets out, people will say that we can't distinguish right from wrong, and it will affect the reputation of us educated youth." Chu Jingqiu said expressionlessly.
"Don't worry, the village will punish them and won't let them off easily. Don't report this to the commune." Du Jianguo glanced coldly at the women and scolded them, "Hurry up and beg Chu Zhiqing to forgive you. Admit your mistakes now!"
"Chu Zhiqing, we were wrong. We didn't do it on purpose. We are not counter-revolutionaries. Please let us go! We will never dare to do it again." Several women began to plead for themselves, and some even collapsed with weak legs.
"Then, for Secretary Du's sake, I'll spare you. However, I need to hear how Secretary Du plans to punish you. If the punishment is too light, I'm afraid it won't be effective and will affect the reputation of our educated youth center."
"Before you go to work tomorrow, you will have to make self-criticisms in front of all the members and admit your mistakes. I will punish you by making you take turns carrying manure and sweeping the streets for a year. This will be considered as labor reform in the village." Du Jianguo told them the punishment he had thought of long ago.
"I'll add one more thing. We don't want to see these people at our educated youth camp in the future. If they come again, we will report them to the Revolutionary Committee as counter-revolutionaries."
Several women nodded rapidly, saying that they would never come to disturb the educated youth site again, nor would they let their children cause trouble here.
Du Jianguo took the women away, and each of the educated youth had a happy smile on their face.
Today is a really great day, especially for the old educated youth, as they have finally solved some of the problems that have been giving them headaches over the years.
They had talked to the village party secretary about this matter before, but it was of no use at all. These people usually loved to take advantage of small things. Not only did they come to the educated youth site to eat for free, but they also made the surrounding neighbors miserable.
