Chapter 175 Preparing to Go Up the Mountain
Wang Yuanchao looked at Secretary Zeng's expression of pain and joy, laughed, and said:
"Secretary, this is a happy worry for you. Now under your leadership, our Red Flag Brigade is leading a better life than ever before.
From now on, the descendants of our Red Flag Brigade will all remember your kindness with all their hearts.”
When Secretary Zeng heard this, he was delighted and said with a smile: "Haha, they are all from the same village. I just hope everyone can live a good life. By the way, I went to the commune for a meeting yesterday. In August, another group of educated youth will come to our Red Flag Brigade."
Wang Yuanchao calculated the time in his mind. The weather in the Northeast would turn cold in September. If the new educated youth came by then, it would be hard to prepare firewood for the winter. It would be difficult to arrange for them. If they came in August, they could just participate in the autumn harvest and earn some money. So he said:
"Secretary, do you know how many people are coming this time?"
When Party Secretary Zeng heard about the number of people, his face was filled with annoyance. When the educated youth were assigned last year, all the Party secretaries and team leaders of the production teams rushed to grab people.
After several months of getting along, everyone in the production brigade now knows that capable educated youth like Wang Yuanchao are just an isolated case, and that the educated youth assigned to the production brigade are all troublemakers and the cancer of the production brigade.
When the educated youth were being assigned yesterday, all the branch secretaries and team leaders of the production brigades declined one after another. Their rejection was so stern, as if being assigned to their team was like being stained with stinky dog shit.
The educated youth of the Red Flag Brigade were considered quite good by the villagers in the brigade, because Wang Yuanchao gave them political lessons every day and provided them with good guidance.
Although the educated youth in the Red Flag Brigade were indeed not good at doing their work, they also took away the brigade's food and money.
But the educated youths in the educated youth camp did not cause any chaos in the Red Flag Brigade.
And because of Wang Yuanchao's great contribution to the Red Flag Battalion,
The Red Flag Brigade's view of the educated youth was not too negative, and they did not exclude them.
The educated youth in other production brigades did not have such a good image. They stole things, cheated, quarreled and fought with the villagers, and cheated on the girls and boys in the village.
These educated youth were capable of anything, and they drove the village cadres of other production brigades crazy.
He is really good at nothing, the number one troublemaker, looking down on the local farmers, and is really good at ganging up to create opposition.
Now many educated youth sites in production brigades have formed groups in order to survive in the local area, and many local villagers have a very bad attitude towards the educated youth.
When Secretary Zeng thought of this, he took a few deep puffs of his cigarette and said irritably: "Alas, our Red Flag Brigade is now famous.
Not only is it famous in the province, our poultry breeding base has also led the villagers to become rich.
The province reported us as a model, and our Red Flag Brigade became famous in the city.
Secretary Liu of the commune told me privately that there will be quite a few educated youth coming to our Red Flag Brigade this time, and some powerful people in the city and the province are trying to get people into our Red Flag Brigade.”
When Wang Yuanchao heard what Secretary Zeng said, he stared at him in amazement and stammered, "Secretary, is our Red Flag Brigade now a gilded place?"
Secretary Zeng thought about it, nodded and said, "That's about right. Who among the leaders wants their children to really go to the countryside to suffer? Oh, it's difficult."
Wang Yuanchao nodded seriously and said:
"It is indeed difficult to deal with. I am afraid that these second-generation people will come and disobey management and become troublemakers. If that happens, our current good situation will be ruined, which would be a pity."
When Secretary Zeng heard Wang Yuanchao's suggestion of this possibility, he flew into a rage and said:
"They dared to do that. In the Red Flag Battalion, even if they were dragons, they would have to coil up for me, and even if they were tigers, they would have to lie down for me.
I don't care how powerful they are. Just stay here and I'll turn a blind eye.
If they dare to cause trouble for me here in the Red Flag Brigade, I will let them know that Lord Horse has three eyes and I will not be able to kill them. "
Wang Yuanchao felt relieved after hearing this. After all, the arrival of this group of second and third generations brought the greatest impact to Wang Yuanchao.
This will seriously affect Wang Yuanchao's stable life in the Red Flag Brigade.
Wang Yuanchao knew in his heart that he should have made plans early to deal with this kind of impact.
Thinking of this, Wang Yuanchao no longer had any intention of chatting with Secretary Zeng and said goodbye.
Wang Yuanchao returned home facing the sunset.
The mother-in-law had already prepared dinner at home. Wang Yuanchao helped his young wife to the kitchen and sat down at the round table. The family began to eat.
"The firewood and meat in our house are almost all used up.
I have nothing to do during the day, so I'll go to the mountain to pick some vegetables."
Wang Yuanchao naturally would not let his mother-in-law go up the mountain, so he said:
"Mom, there are many poisonous snakes and insects in the mountains this season.
It's not safe for you to go up the mountain, so I'll go.
But now the operation of the poultry breeding base is very stable.
As long as I sell the chickens, ducks and geese from the farm in the morning, I will have nothing to do.
When I go up the mountain to collect firewood, I will take the dog with me and dig some traps to see if I can bring back some game. You can then deal with it at home.
I'm not comfortable with you going up the mountain alone as a woman.
Don’t make me worry, okay?”
Widow Du looked at Wang Yuanchao with a touched face. He was indeed the man she liked, caring about her. "Okay, Yuanchao, you have to be careful when you go up the mountain, okay?
You have to know that there are two women waiting for you at home. You are the pillar of our family. You can't take risks when you go up the mountain, understand?"
Wang Yuanchao looked at his young wife and mother-in-law confidently and said:
"You don't know my abilities yet. It's just climbing a mountain. It's not a problem for me. Besides, our family lives a happy life. I want to continue to live a happy life in the future. I won't take any risks. Don't worry."
Zhang Yuanyuan and Widow Du watched Wang Yuanchao practice boxing every night.
Wang Yuanchao's muscular body and his ability to break through the air with one punch made the mother and daughter feel very relieved.
"Well, we have no shortage of food now. We couldn't finish the food the brigade distributed last year.
We have a pond full of fish at home, so we can live without meat. You must not take risks."
"Yes, sir. Our family is now better off than the landlords before. You must not take any risks, understand?"
Wang Yuanchao put down his bowl and chopsticks. He kissed the mother and daughter on the face, hugged them and said gently:
"Don't worry, your master knows what's going on. I'll just set up some traps on the mountain. If there's any harvest, that's good. If there's no harvest, your master won't force you. Don't worry, understand?"
"Yeah, got it, sir."
