Yu family.
Yu Weimin called Yu You over and discussed the matter with his daughter.
"The five rows of houses for the relocated households are about to be built, and the relocated people will be moving into the village one after another."
"Many villagers don't have a broad vision. I'm thinking of holding a mobilization meeting for the villagers to change their mindsets."
Yu You: "Dad, this is easy. If you have any ideas, I will write a draft for you."
The years she spent studying for her undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degrees weren't wasted. She'd worked through countless days and nights to develop her writing skills.
Yu Weimin replied: "It's probably about viewing the relocated households as people who can be united and organized, and together they can contribute to the country."
Yu You: "Okay, then I'll write one, and you can take a look at it in advance."
On the threshing floor.
All the villagers gathered together.
Yu Weimin used a loud speaker to address everyone: "Fellow villagers, everyone already knows that our village will be accepting nearly 200 relocated households!"
"In a few days, people will start arriving. So, why should we accept them, and how should we treat them?"
The elderly women in the village didn't quite understand: "Village head, we know you have an idea. But with so many people coming to share our village's grain, the situation has just improved a little, and now it's falling back a lot."
"You have to make us understand!"
"Yes, village chief, why did you accept them?"
Yu Weimin raised his hands to reassure everyone, "I'm just here to clear up your confusion."
"Our country's series of reforms are all for the purpose of better national development. Even those who have been relocated to lower-income households are still ordinary people in our country. Don't you agree?"
"Let me give you an example. The son of a landlord is born into that class. Does he have any choice?"
"Science and technology workers, who have been studying and getting jobs all the way, now have their departments abolished and been demoted. Do they have any choice?"
"When private businesses first started, they had no idea the government would change its policies. Did they have any choice?"
"Don't the idle people in the city want to work in factories? Do they have any choice?"
…
"Our compatriots were sent down to the countryside for various reasons, in compliance with state policy. We cannot deny that they are also among our revolutionary comrades."
The crowd was silent. In fact, they had been attending school for so many days that their subconscious impression of the relocated households had long since changed.
They thought this made sense.
"Now that they're here, we should actively respond to national policies, unite everyone we can, organize them, and build together with us. What do you all think? Isn't that right?"
People were so excited by what they heard that they shouted, “Yes!”
Yu Weimin continued, "Then let's talk about how their coming will benefit our village."
A different voice rose from the crowd: "Village Chief, what benefit can compare to food?"
Yu Weimin said, "You're right. No benefit can compare to grain. But all the land in our village that can be cultivated has been cultivated, and the amount of grain is basically fixed. How can we produce more?"
"No, right? Especially if there's drought, heavy rain, or hail, the yield might even decrease!"
This was true. The crowd quieted down again and everyone frowned.
"With grain as the key link, we will achieve all-round development. Now that they are here, we can focus on all-round development."
"We can use their skills to help us set up a collective factory. Once our production team has money, everyone's work points might be worth a dollar or two!"
"Then the girls from the neighboring villages will have to find ways to marry into our village, right?"
The crowd started talking and discussing again, but this time it was full of anticipation for the future and laughter.
Aunt Liu said, "Village Chief, now that you've explained this to us, we understand. We know very little, but we know that following you is the right path!"
"Yes, village chief, everyone is following you!"
"These relocated households are also capable people. Now that they are here, they are part of our village!"
"Yes, that's it!"
The mobilization meeting ended successfully, and Yu Weimin evacuated the crowd. Then he discussed with Zhao Qianjin and Guo Min.
"We'll make arrangements for everyone who's coming this time right away. We can divide the five rows of houses into areas based on the people. That way, it'll be easier for us to manage them, and they can also have more interactions."
Zhao Qianjin: "Okay, how do you say we divide it?"
Yu Weimin said, "Look at what they were doing before. Political and cultural work in one row, technical work in another, private business in another, those involved in going abroad and overseas Chinese relatives in another, and the rest of the people in another row."
Guo Min: "Uncle Wei Min, I feel like I can't keep up with your ideas."
Yu Weimin patted Guo Min on the shoulder and said, "Young man, you still need to study more and read more. Look at me. Your aunt and I close the door and study after work every day. Naturally, our vision will expand as a result."
Of course they didn't learn it. In modern times, both of them graduated from small technical secondary schools, received formal education and social education, so naturally they had their own pattern.
But this cannot be said.
After the villagers returned home that day, they all closed their doors and talked.
"Why were we so stubborn and looked down on the people who were relocated to other places?"
"It turns out there are quite a few capable people among the tenants."
"You said that now that they are here, should we build good relations with them?"
"You're right, we should go over and ask and see if there's anything we can do to help."
A group of relocated people were arriving, all of them dejected and feeling that they had lost hope in life. They had no idea that they had hit a lucky jackpot.
County supply and marketing cooperative.
Feng Xudong had been waiting inside eagerly since early morning.
Yu Weimin’s house has been built for a few days, and it’s time to deliver the mung bean cakes.
He was a twenty-seven-year-old man, but now he acted like a young man, wishing he could see Yu Rou every moment.
But what he didn't know was that the person had already been snatched away by his mother!
"Miss, is your name Yu Rou?"
Yu Rou had just walked to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative when a well-dressed aunt stopped her and asked.
Puzzled, "Aunt, do you know me?"
Lu Chunxiu said in surprise: "Oh, I finally found you!"
Lu Chunxiu came early in the morning and lay in wait. She only knew that Yu Rou was twenty-two and would come every morning with a basket on her back to deliver green bean cakes.
When she saw a girl who looked similar to her, she would come over and ask, making her look like an idiot. Finally, she got what she was waiting for.
Lu Chunxiu said: "I am Feng Xudong's mother, and I often hear Xudong talk about you."
"I came here today specifically to see you. How about we find a place to chat?"
Yu Rou was hesitant.
Why did Feng Xudong's mother come to see her? Did he say something to his family, but they have no relationship now?
Yu Rou explained, "Auntie, you probably misunderstood. Manager Feng and I have nothing to do with each other. I'm just here to deliver the goods. How about we go in and ask Manager Feng to come out?"
Lu Chunxiu said disdainfully: "Why call him? I'm here to see you."
She sees her son every day, so what's there to see? Besides, she can't even bring her daughter-in-law back home, so why not see her?
Lu Chunxiu greeted her warmly, "If you think the state-owned restaurant is too far, my aunt's house is nearby. Let's chat at home."
