When the county held a meeting, we didn't stay in the guesthouse. There was a large courtyard behind the government office, and each room had a large bunk bed, so we were accommodated in it.
The first day's meeting is scheduled for 2 p.m.
When Yu Weimin, Zhao Qianjin and Guo Min arrived, it was around eleven o'clock in the morning and the yard was already very lively.
People would find a kang to put their things on and gather in the yard to chat.
People from other production teams in Xiangyang Commune had helped Yu Weimin and others occupy a house in Xiangyang early on.
Shi Shun, the village chief of the second production team, called out, "Village Chief Yu, why are you here just now? Your seats are already reserved. Put your things down first."
Yu Weimin and the others thanked him as they settled in. "It's close, and it opens in the afternoon, so we can make it in time."
People from the other several groups also gathered together to talk.
This meeting mainly involved the village. Each commune had ten leaders, but only the commune director, commune secretary and commune deputy director were invited to attend.
All the forty production teams and one hundred and twenty village leaders under the five communes came.
There are really a lot of people.
The people from the eight production teams of Xiangyang Commune were surprisingly harmonious this time, with Yu Weimin as the leader.
Liu Jin, the village chief of Team 5 of Hongqi Commune, said, "Why didn't I realize your commune was so united before?"
Shi Shun said, "Village Chief Liu, come, come, let me introduce you. This is Yu Weimin, the new village chief who took office this year."
Shi Shun and Liu Jin have a good relationship, mainly because Liu Jin's daughter married into the second team of Xiangyang Commune.
Liu Jin was also an enthusiastic person and came over to say hello.
Shi Shun said, "Has your daughter not been back to her parents' home for a while? I can tell you're not well-informed."
"Thanks to Village Chief Yu, our village now has greenhouses on all the private plots. You've heard of greenhouses, haven't you? Plant your vegetable seeds inside and you can grow vegetables even in winter!"
Liu Jin: "Why do I just not believe it? Won't everyone freeze to death in the winter?"
"How could I lie to you about this? Why don't you just go to your daughter's house and take a look?"
Ding Maochun from the Fourth Team of the Jiefang Commune nearby said: "You really believe his boasting? Have you ever seen anyone grow vegetables in winter?"
Sun Dahai from the third team of Xiangyang Commune said: "What Shi Shun said is true. Not only his village, but all eight villages in our commune have planted it."
Ding Maochun shouted that it was impossible and that if he grew taller he would freeze to death.
However, Liu Jin felt that the two of them would not lie to him in front of so many people. He felt itchy and thought about going to his daughter's house after the meeting.
As they were talking, it was noon and everyone was busy preparing to eat.
There is a shed in the reception yard with three large stoves underneath and firewood piled on the side. If you want to eat hot food or drink hot water, you can help yourself.
Everyone brought out their rations, mostly cornbread and pickles, or cornmeal and vegetable pancakes.
Yu Weimin called Zhao Qianjin and Guo Min to a corner early in the morning and took out some chive and egg pancakes for them to share.
"Wei Min, we've brought rations. Your sister-in-law specially steamed some white flour buns for us."
"Yes, Uncle Wei Min, I brought some white flour too. My wife told me to eat something good when I go out."
Yu Weimin didn't force them and gave each of them a spoonful of meat sauce. The three of them ate it with relish.
The person was in the corner, but the fragrance spread out.
Someone murmured quietly, "How can the people in Team 1 of Xiangyang Commune be so generous? They only bring white flour to a meeting. I can't even afford to eat enough corn bread for every meal."
The person sitting with him took a bite of the hard vegetable pancake and said, "Yeah, there's no plan. If we keep eating like this, won't we starve in the winter?"
Yu Weimin hid in the corner just because he felt that the things he brought were not enough to share.
I didn't intend to pretend to be poor, nor did I need to. Their family unlocked a blessing system, and the more people they helped, the better.
The afternoon meeting was mainly to report on the situation of each production team one by one. After the two-day meeting, the advanced ones would be selected and removed.
More than 40 production teams reported one after another, and the meeting did not end until seven o'clock in the evening.
Yu Weimin also concluded that their production team had the smallest number of people.
Compared with the large teams with thousands of people, they are just a small village with a small butt, not worth mentioning.
Returning to his residence hungry, Yu Weimin said, "Brother Zhao, Guo Min, call the people from our commune and let's cook some noodles together."
The villages that built their own houses also contributed, and they were originally planning to treat everyone to a meal of hot noodle soup.
The noodles don’t take up much space and they are quite valuable, so he brought four big handfuls.
Only one of the three large pots was boiling water; the other two were idle. Guo Min went to call for help, while Yu Weimin and Zhao Qianjin added water and firewood.
We cooked two large pots of clear soup noodles. Everyone brought a large teapot. After filling it with noodles, each person got a large spoonful of soul-fried meat sauce.
This is too delicious! Xiangyang Commune's actions made the people in the other four communes drool.
When did Xiangyang Commune become so wealthy?
Yu Weimin doesn't care what others think.
Are you curious? If so, come and ask, come and learn, that way, maybe your merit points will increase!
The finale meeting was indeed saved for last.
The next morning, the county leaders produced a document.
County Magistrate Pan Yongming said, "The higher-ups have issued a notice that a large number of educated youth and relocated households will be assigned to our area this time."
"The purpose of this meeting is to discuss with everyone how to carry out the subsequent work."
Zhou Xuefeng, the county party secretary, said: "Our production team has a heavy workload. We have to absorb these people and ease the employment pressure in the cities for the country."
"We suggest that we continue as usual and divide it equally among the production teams, or divide it according to the population ratio."
