Chapter 201 Questioning
Unconsciously, Wang Yuanchao slowly developed his own network of relationships in Heilongjiang Province where he went to the countryside.
Some are from the provincial capital, some are from the county town, and some are from the commune. As for the Red Flag Brigade, it is now its own home ground.
These relationships are both near and far. The farther ones are in the provincial capital. These are relationships developed out of the convenience of my work.
If I continue to raise pigs, these relationships will be easy to maintain and small things will be handled quite smoothly.
The more recent ones are the relationships with people in the county and the commune that he developed by hanging out with Chen Bin and Liu Chuan. Wang Yuanchao handled these relationships very well. They all treated him as a younger brother who could be used at critical moments.
When the new educated youth went to the countryside, they started making a scene after only working for a few days.
This caused chaos in the educated youth camp every day, and many new educated youth were excited when they learned that they could build their own houses to live in.
Five local tigers like Lin Yibao and Chen Xi, as well as several young men from the big courtyard like Yu Tian, all went to the team leader to apply for homesteads.
The Northeast is a vast area with a sparse population. There are not many other things, but there is plenty of land.
So according to Wang Yuanchao's understanding, the brigade did not intend to make it difficult for these people to apply for homesteads, but it was estimated that it would be a bit too late for everyone to build houses because the autumn harvest was about to begin.
By that time, all the strong laborers in the village will have to go to the fields to harvest the crops, and there will be no one in the village to build houses for them.
After the autumn harvest is over, it will almost snow.
So Wang Yuanchao was not optimistic that they would be able to complete the construction of the house before the winter.
That day, after work, Wang Yuanchao had dinner with his wife and mother-in-law at home, practiced boxing at home, and came to the educated youth site. Although the new educated youth were not forced to work these days, some of them encouraged and supervised each other to work.
In just a few days, this group of new educated youth have begun to shed their city dweller appearance and are now on par with the peasants.
Just as Wang Yuanchao was about to give everyone a political lesson, the new educated youth Yu Tian suddenly spoke up: "Captain Wang, why do we all have to go to the fields to work, but you can take a few female educated youth to the farm to raise pigs? The labor intensity of these two jobs is completely different. The work distribution of the Red Flag Brigade is completely unfair."
Wang Yuanchao looked at Yu Tian and the people behind him with great interest. Before he could say anything, several female educated youths including Fan Zhaodi stood up and accused him:
"Yu Tian, you new educated youth have only been here for a few days and haven't done anything yet. What qualifications do you have to say that the work allocation is unfair? None of the other old educated youth at the educated youth center said it was unfair, but you said it was unfair. Who do you think you are? We all have to pamper you, right?"
Yu Tian was not afraid of verbal attacks. He stood up and glared at Fan Zhaodi and the others, saying loudly:
"This is a new society, where everyone is equal.
"Fan Zhiqing, you keep emphasizing new educated youth and old educated youth. Do you want to create factionalism and cliques between the new and old educated youth? Do you want to create opposition between the new and old educated youth?"
"You're talking nonsense. If you despise labor so much, why didn't you go to the countryside as an educated youth and continue to be a landlord in the city? Now that you've gone to the countryside and despise labor, you come to cause trouble for your comrades. You are a new-age ruffian, a gangster, a second-rate person, and a street urchin.
You are resisting labor and want to be a parasite of socialism."
Yu Tian listened to Fan Zhaodi and other female educated youths firing like machine guns, and all kinds of big accusations came out of their mouths.
The veins on his forehead were throbbing, and he shouted loudly: "Shut up, you bitch, stop putting accusations on me.
You are talking nonsense to me, I will beat you to death."
"Come on, come on, you little jerk. You can't win the argument so you want to use your fists, right? Come on, if you dare to hit a female educated youth, you'll see if the male comrades in our educated youth camp can tolerate you and beat you to death."
Wang Yuanchao saw that Yu Tian and the others were glaring with anger, and knew that these young men couldn't stand it anymore and really wanted to fight, so he stood up and shouted loudly: "Okay, shut up."
Wang Yuanchao's prestige was there. After he stopped talking, everyone stopped talking and looked at Wang Yuanchao. After Wang Yuanchao saw that everyone had stopped talking, he slowly said, "Yu Zhiqing, why do you want to work on the ground?
But I can go to a farm and raise pigs, so I can tell you."
Wang Yuanchao looked around at all the educated youths with a serious expression, and continued: "As an educated youth as well, since I came to the Hongqi Brigade after going to the countryside, I can get full centimeters for working every day. After the spring plowing, I took advantage of the slack season in the countryside to give advice to the village cadres of the Hongqi Brigade, and helped the Hongqi Brigade to establish two poultry breeding bases and develop sideline businesses. Last year, the first year I went to the countryside, I helped the Hongqi Brigade to make hundreds of thousands of yuan during the slack season.
Help all the villagers of the Red Flag Brigade to have a happy New Year.
This year, I used the poultry breeding base to help the Red Flag Brigade earn millions of yuan and a tractor.
And soon our Hongqi Brigade will install electric wires, so all villagers will have access to electricity.
Even the villagers can watch movies every month, which is also a benefit brought by my help in developing a poultry breeding base for the Red Flag Brigade.
And you, Yu Zhiqing, before you questioned me with empty words,
Can I ask you what contribution you have made to the Red Flag Brigade since you came to the countryside?
Yu Zhiqing, tell me, what contributions have you made?
After hearing Wang Yuanchao's words, both the new and old educated youth were shocked by the millions he mentioned.
Even the five educated youths who went to the countryside from the same province knew Wang Yuanchao at home.
But this was also the first time they heard about the specific output of the poultry breeding base managed by Wang Yuanchao.
This amount of money is enough to shock everyone.
You looked at me, I looked at you, all in shock.
Because Wang Yuanchao called out his name, Yu Tian's face turned red, he looked ugly and embarrassed, and he stood among the many educated youth, not knowing what to do.
Although Wang Yuanchao was not a troublemaker, he would not let this guy get away with it, so he continued, "Yu Zhiqing, we are all adults now, you can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor and spit at me without any reason, right?
Didn’t you question me why I could raise pigs while you had to work on the fields?
Now I have told you the reason, so now I want to ask you, what contribution have you made to the Red Flag Brigade, and why do you think you can replace me and go to the farm to raise pigs?"
