"Dad, what's going on? If we just go up there without any previous information, what will the villagers think?" Zhao Xiaolin saw that his parents didn't say anything.
One was just lying there, the other just smoking. He and his brother asked for a long time, but all they got was, "You'll know when the time comes." "Do whatever I tell you to do." "Shut up, my words are my words."
.....
Zhao Xiaolin also frowned and looked at his mother, "Mom, what's going on? My sister's pregnancy is a good thing, but within a few days she said she was moving out to build a house, and now she wants my brother to take over. What's the reason?"
Captain Zhao still didn't say anything, but this made the two brothers understand that there must be a reason for this succession.
Li Xiulian looked at her husband, feeling very guilty. It was all her fault for not raising her daughter well. The old saying was true, "Spoiling a child is like killing him!"
"Ahem--
Don't force your father, he's doing this for your own good!"
The two brothers were stunned, then they went to the edge of the kang and asked Zhao's mother.
"Mom, what's going on? Tell us, we can help you then."
Li Xiu Lian looked at her husband, who was still the same, with worry and concern on his face.
He looked at his two sons again and was about to speak when Captain Zhao stood up and said, "You guys chat, I'll be out for a while."
"Dad, where are you going?" Zhao Yunlin asked hurriedly.
"Go out for a walk and be back soon."
Zhao Xiaolin looked at his mother and asked, "Dad, where are you going?"
As her husband's wife, Li Xiulian knew that he was probably working to build the country. Whenever there was something happening in the village, she would go and take a look, and when she came back she would know what to do.
Then he looked at his two sons and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Although the two brothers were worried, they knew nothing and decided to listen to their mother first.
But after the two brothers heard what their mother had said, they wanted to cut their younger sister's husband into eight pieces.
Su Xia was also confused. He looked at the captain sitting on the sofa and Chen's parents who were sitting with them. The three of them looked at each other, especially Chen's parents, who shook their heads like rattles and kept emphasizing that they didn't know either.
Su Xia had no choice but to signal, and the two stopped shaking their heads. Su Xia breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "Don't shake and get a concussion."
The four of them sat there awkwardly for ten minutes. Su Xia felt that if she didn't ask, she might have to wait until tomorrow.
Quietly asked, "Uncle Zhao, what's wrong with you?"
Be as careful with your tone as possible.
Chen's father and mother secretly gave him an admiring look.
Captain Zhao seemed to have prepared himself mentally and said seriously, "Maybe next month, another group of people will come to the village!"
The three of them craned their necks and waited, but...
Chen's father and mother almost burst into scolding, and Su Xia immediately knew that the captain was not talking about the educated youth.
Mother Chen rolled her eyes and said, "Zhao Shuanzhu, isn't there an educated youth coming? Why do you have to look so upset?"
Father Chen thought it should be someone else, but who else could it be?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Su Xia thought it would be better to take the initiative.
"The people coming this time aren't educated youth. They look like people from lower levels. But Uncle Zhao, you look like someone from lower levels. Do you know them?"
.....
Chen's father and mother stared, looked at Su Xia, then at the captain, and finally stared directly at the captain.
Captain Zhao was also stunned. He didn't expect Su Xia to be so sharp and accurate.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of three people, he nodded slowly.
Buzzing, "There's a group of people down there, eight in total. One is a family of four, another is a couple, and the other two are unknown."
As Captain Zhao finished speaking, Chen's father frowned, and Chen's mother suddenly stood up.
"What on earth do the higher-ups mean? Didn't they say there would be two batches of educated youth a year and nothing else?"
Su Xia didn't say anything. The villagers didn't believe what he said. It was obviously just a perfunctory response.
The captain sighed and told the three people what had happened. "We originally agreed to send two batches of educated youth a year, and we wouldn't arrange for those who were sent down. But this time, no matter what the higher-ups say, we have to accept the ones who were sent down here, no matter what they say!"
Looking at Chen's parents, he continued, "But we won't be arranging for the next batch of educated youth!"
Although Chen's parents were dissatisfied, they felt that if the educated youth did not come, it would be one less burden for the village.
Su Xia didn't say anything, but she felt that people might be transferred down in the future. This happened every year, and it was likely that arrangements would be made at any time.
After all, once the first hole is opened, it will be difficult to close it later.
The captain looked at Su Xia and said, "The higher-ups mean to leave them alone regarding this demotion!"
Su Xia heard this and chuckled in his heart - it was the regime again.
Mother Chen didn't hear it and breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry about it, isn't that better!"
Father Chen stared at the captain. "Who are they?"
Captain Zhao shook his head. "I don't know, but the ones below are not professors, they are teachers, and some are from the upper levels."
Upon hearing this, Chen's father and mother shut their mouths. How could they possibly have seen such a person before he was sent down? Even if he was sent down, they, the common people, would not dare to go forward. What if there was someone behind him?
"Su girl, I really have no idea. I came to you because I want you to give me some advice."
Before Su Xia could say anything, Chen's mother immediately stood up and said, "Zhao Shuanzhu, what do you mean? I am a commoner, your daughter-in-law. How can I give you advice? You are the captain, so you should figure it out yourself."
Father Chen also disagreed. He said that raising pigs and chickens, or growing melons, could be done by his parents, but it was better not to do this kind of thing.
"Brother Zhao, Jianguo's wife has a little education and doesn't work. She stays at home every day taking care of the children and tinkering with things. You can ask her about other things. This is definitely not okay!"
Captain Zhao felt embarrassed, but he didn't want to leave.
It was the first time that Su Xia was protected by Chen's father and mother like this. To be honest, it would be a lie to say that she was not touched.
But Captain Zhao was obviously not afraid of boiling water.
Why--
"Dad and Mom, don't worry, the captain didn't mean that."
Seeing that they were still worried, he said to the captain, "Uncle Zhao, what are you worried about?"
Captain Zhao also knew that Brother Chen and his wife were angry, so he did not hide it and gave a lot of explanations.
After hearing this, although Mr. and Mrs. Chen were still angry, they felt much better than before.
After Su Xia finished listening, there were actually two points: one was how to arrange their accommodation, and the other was how to arrange their future.
Su Xia asked directly, "How do other villages arrange for demotion?"
Captain Zhao thought about other villages and frowned. "They live in the cowshed, have no money, and have to sweep the cowshed and cut grass every day. They don't have any money, and they only give them a little food every year to keep them from starving. But they also have to review and criticize themselves from time to time..."
Su Xia was not surprised, as the history books read by later generations were also like this.
This was the first time Chen's parents heard about this and they still felt uncomfortable with it. It was too tragic.
Su Xia looked at the captain and said, "Uncle Zhao, you don't need to worry about what's going on above. I guess there's another meaning behind it. You should know it in your heart. As for where you live, it's still the cowshed. After all, it can't be too special."
Captain Zhao nodded. "Yeah, I think so too, but the villagers...?"
Su Xia rolled her eyes and said, "You are the captain, we will listen to whatever you say!"
Captain Zhao was stunned and blinked, and the tense feeling in his heart seemed to loosen.
Chen's mother was disgusted and thought, "How did this guy become the captain?"
Father Chen looked away and said, "Well, that cabinet is really nice."
