Chapter 165: Coordination
Again Hearing Wang Yuanchao mention the issue of food and oil and water again,
Chen Aihua could no longer hold back and spoke,
"Captain, last time you asked everyone to prepare meat and oil,
We held meetings to discuss this more than once.
However, some educated youths agreed to contribute money to buy supplies, while others were unwilling to do so. The two sides could not reach a consensus, and everyone was eating from the same pot. Could you please coordinate and do some work for everyone? Otherwise, everyone’s health would really collapse if they had to eat only watery steamed buns every day.”
Wang Yuanchao looked at Chen Aihua in astonishment, thinking that this shouldn't be the case. In Wang Yuanchao's mind, He Jianguo and Chen Aihua were quite capable.
Why can't this little thing be solved?
However, Wang Yuanchao couldn't just take on the responsibility of solving the problem without understanding the situation, so he looked around at all the educated youth and asked, "Comrades, since educated youth Chen came to me to report the problem and asked me to help coordinate and solve it, I certainly can't just listen to one side's opinions. Can you tell me what the situation is?"
Hearing Wang Yuanchao's question, Liu Xiaohong was not afraid of losing face. She frowned and said first:
"Captain, it's not that we don't want to be gregarious or don't want to pool our money to buy meat and oil.
When I came to the countryside, my parents only gave me 10 yuan.
When we first arrived, we all pooled our money to buy firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea and other daily necessities, which cost a lot of money . I really couldn’t afford to spend extra money to buy meat and oil.”
Wang Yuanchao looked at Liu Xiaohong with pity and nodded without saying anything. He then looked at the other educated youth.
Seeing Liu Xiaohong's first self-explosion, Fan Zhaodi and Zhang Anan also said:
"Yes, it's a little long. Our families are not so well off. When we went to the countryside, our families didn't give us much money. It's not that we are unsociable, but we are really in a difficult situation and can't afford any money."
Wang Yuanchao knew what was going on when he heard this, so he looked at He Jianguo and Chen Aihua. Hu Meng then stood up and said, "Actually, I've already said that those who are willing to pay can eat together, and those who don't want to pay can stay away. It's such a simple thing, why make it so complicated?"
Chen Aihua didn't indulge Hu Meng, and sneered disdainfully: "I don't know who was talking nonsense here at that time, saying that all the educated youth were a team, and if they didn't act together, they would be deserters. What's wrong? Now that you see that the people in the team are in trouble, you want to abandon your comrades and treat them separately?"
"Chen Aihua, stop talking nonsense here. You've said so much, so why don't you pay for it? Pay for the meat. Do you think I'll say it or not?
If you are reluctant to spend money to treat everyone to meat, then stop talking nonsense here. I have spoiled you, right? Damn it, you always go against me. "
"Hu Meng, you son of a bitch, who the hell are you?
Just try to call me "I" again and I'll see if I give you a beating.
Also, we are a team, and now everyone is short of money. We should all contribute money and effort to improve the food. Is it going to cost you your life? You still have the nerve to say that your father is the deputy director of a textile factory?
You don't have any awareness of being a cadre family, you deserve to be friendless."
Hu Meng was so angry at Chen Aihua that veins on his forehead were throbbing, but Wang Yuanchao was there too, and He Jianguo was helping Chen Aihua. If Hu Meng wanted to fight, he had no confidence and could only look at Chen Aihua with gritted teeth, his eyes full of anger.
When Wang Yuanchao saw this, he basically had an idea in his mind. A group of people from Sijiucheng, led by He Jianguo and Chen Aihua, were willing to contribute money and labor to improve the food together. A few educated youth from Shanghai, led by Hu Meng, wanted to be brothers and settle the accounts clearly. Those who paid could eat the meat, and those who didn't pay didn't get to eat.
In terms of moral character, He Jianguo and others are definitely more noble and more popular.
But if we really want to say what is wrong with Hu Meng and his group, it is hard to say. We can only say that this group of people are very clear about their accounts, can share wealth but not suffering, and are simply very selfish.
Wang Yuanchao thought about it and stopped the quarrel between the two sides. "Okay, everyone, stop quarreling. Since everyone asked me to mediate, then no one wants to quarrel.
Can quarreling solve problems? Quarreling cannot solve any problems.
Everyone has expressed their opinions on this matter.
In this case, let me tell you what I think.”
Wang Yuanchao paused for a moment, and after seeing that everyone was looking at him, he continued, "First of all, everyone should know that the conditions in Hongqi Brigade are good. As long as everyone is willing to work hard here, everyone will have enough to eat. And everyone also knows that I am now helping Hongqi Brigade manage the poultry breeding base as a sideline business. Last year, I helped Hongqi Brigade earn more than 400,000 yuan, and every villager in Hongqi Brigade got a lot of money.
This year, the scale of the poultry breeding base is larger than last year.
As long as everyone works hard and earns centimeters,
By the end of the year, I believe that all of us educated youth will no longer be short of food, oil, water, or money.
So everyone should not be full of despair about life, but should be full of hope for a better life in the future."
Wang Yuanchao looked at the educated youths who were short of money, his eyes full of longing, and he felt much better. He then continued, "Then there was this incident just now. I listened to it for a long time and can only say that this was caused by everyone's different attitude towards life.
The opinions of people like Hu Zhiqing are nothing more than improving conditions if you have money, and living under the current conditions if you don't have money.
Can you say they are wrong? That's not possible, everyone, what do you think? "
"Yes, that's true."
"Yes, the money is theirs. If they don't want to spend it on others, you can't say they are wrong."
"Humph, they are just petty and have no team spirit."
"That's right. When they first arrived, Hu Meng and his men often yawned like toads and spoke in a loud voice.
Now they are all so selfish, no wonder everyone looks down on them."
Wang Yuanchao listened to everyone's endless chatter and suddenly interrupted: "In addition, the people on He Zhiqing and Chen Zhiqing's side believe that since everyone is a team, they should help each other. Those who have money should contribute money, and those who have strength should contribute strength, so that we can live together. Of course, I personally admire the character and spirit of He Zhiqing and Chen Zhiqing very much.
This is a very noble character, worthy of all our admiration and respect.
But I said when we first arrived that each of us educated youth is an independent individual and has the right to choose how to live his or her own life. Although I recognize and respect the noble character and practices of He and Chen,
But I also know that we cannot use the moral character of He Zhiqing and Chen Zhiqing to demand other educated youth to do what they should do. This is unfair to other educated youth. Can you understand?"
