Chapter 245 The Educated Youth Arrives
Zhang Qianjin was not unhappy when he heard Gu Mingyue's words.
Instead, he said with relief, "I feel relieved when you say that. Alas, you also know that the situation is beyond our control. Many times, we have no choice but to do what we want. But I guarantee with my character that they are not bad people and will not cause you any trouble."
"I believe in President Zhang, and you don't have to worry. Although Gujia Village is not a paradise, at least I can guarantee that there will be no mess." Gu Mingyue said without hesitation.
After returning to the village from the commune, she talked to her elder brother about the educated youth and the people who were sent down to the countryside.
Gu Mingwei was overwhelmed after hearing this, and subconsciously asked, "How many people are assigned to our village this time?"
Gu Mingyue counted on her fingers, "There are nine educated youth in total, five men and four women. Three are reformed, one is a soldier, one is a doctor and one is a university professor."
“Why the transformation?”
Gu Mingyue pointed to the sky and said, "Brother, we can't care so much about what's going on up there. We just need to follow the instructions. The more we know, the more dangerous it is. It's better not to worry about anything and just let it go. If the sky falls, there will be someone watching over us."
Gu Mingwei sighed and said, "I'm afraid that once these people come, our peaceful days will be over."
Gu Mingyue comforted him, "No, let the militia patrol more and manage more strictly. If anyone dares to cause trouble, send them to do the most tiring work. Why cause trouble? Isn't it because they have nothing to do? Then let them stay busy and tired every day. I don't think anyone will have the energy to cause trouble."
"Will we be reported for bullying?"
Gu Mingyue said righteously, "It is said that the educated youth should be sent to the countryside for re-education. We country people are supposed to work. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. What else can we do if we don't work? Brother, you just listen to me on this point. When the time comes, don't show up. The people who came this time all have some connections. It's hard to guarantee that they won't have a lot of problems and twists and turns. Just in case, I will deal with them. Even if it gets out of hand, I'm not afraid. Anyway, I have the Shen family to protect me, so nothing will happen."
"Is it really okay?"
"Brother, have you forgotten that I have more than just the Shen family as my trump card? The big boss's signature is still hanging in my room."
Gu Mingwei was relieved now, and then asked, "How do we arrange accommodation?"
"The educated youth can live in the land that was previously the handicraft workshop. There is a kang and a stove over there. It can be used as a place for living after simple cleaning."
Gu Mingwei thankfully said, "Fortunately, I listened to you and didn't demolish the land. Otherwise, there would be no place for these people to stay once they arrive."
The handicraft workshop received more and more orders and the space was gradually insufficient.
The original two tiled houses were rebuilt into three. Later, as Gu Mingyue saw that the date for the educated youth to go to the countryside was getting closer, she proposed to expand the house.
The workshop was moved from the center of the village to the entrance of the village, where there are patrols and it is convenient to enter and exit to transport goods. This time it was built directly into a small factory building, divided into three areas, jewelry crocheting and weaving, each doing its own job without interfering with each other.
"It happens to be close to the village office, so we can supervise them. But tomorrow we have to arrange for someone to build a wall in the middle, separate the men and women, and break up the team to prevent them from forming gangs and cliques, so as to avoid them getting together and causing more trouble. As for the few people who were sent down, what do you think of the location of my family at the foot of the mountain?"
Gu Mingyue mentioned President Zhang's request to her eldest brother, and Gu Mingwei was very conflicted about it.
He himself respected soldiers, and when he read the information, he was even more impressed by the numerous military achievements.
But he didn't want to cause trouble for the village, so he was so conflicted that he couldn't help but say, "Isn't that a bit far? If something happens, it will be difficult to take care of it."
Gu Mingyue saw that he was reluctant, and explained, "After all, it is a transformation, we have to make our attitude clear and not give people a chance to criticize us. Besides, the foundation of the house is there, and it won't affect living if we tidy it up a little. I heard that many places arrange the people who have been relocated to the countryside to live in cow sheds. Compared with living next to cow dung every day, what we are doing is already considered unusual. I think we should make the outside a little more dilapidated, and don't repair the courtyard wall, but build a fence. Cover the roof with straw, not tiles. In private, you can make the kang clean and make the bedding thicker. Winter is coming soon, and warmth is more important than appearance. You don't have to worry too much, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. If someone can arrange for them, it means that there must be a backup plan. If you take care of them too obviously, it will not only bring disaster to them, but also implicate the village. There will probably be a lot of strangers in the village in the future, so we have to be careful about everything."
Gu Mingwei nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll hold a meeting for the villagers later to remind them to stay away from those people and not to bully others. This is not allowed in our village."
Gu Mingyue gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother is really thoughtful."
A week later...
At this time, at the gate of Qingshan Commune, a group of young men and women were chattering non-stop.
Some complained about this and that, some looked worried while holding a bag the size of a palm and looking around blankly, and some stood there with a childish face, looking left and right...
When Gu Mingyue arrived, she noticed the girl in the lead. She was wearing the most popular Lenin suit, had long braids, and wore small leather shoes. She was carrying only a leather bag, and the large package at her feet was being looked after by a girl who was dressed a little shabbily. The girl had an ordinary look and old clothes, but her smile was very flattering. From time to time, she handed the other person a kettle for food.
Recalling the information, Gu Mingyue guessed that the domineering and arrogant girl was Qu Lingling.
The other one should be Sun Xiaoyu. She was wondering how a child from an ordinary worker's family could appear among so many related people.
Judging from the current behavior, it seems that either the other party is begging the Qu family for help, or Qu Lingling needs this follower by force.
Judging from the other party's actions, it is not difficult to tell that it is the former. Qin Hui has two or three good friends around him. Qu Jinzhong is a good person, so I think he will have a lot of people who flatter him and share the same interests with him.
They both went to the countryside to follow the daughter of the Revolutionary Committee Director. You can imagine how they were treated. You can figure out which one to choose with your toes.
Looking at the other people, Qu Lingling glanced at the tall, fair-skinned boy standing beside her with an impatient look from time to time. He should be her crush, Gao Shan.
A pair of man and woman who look similar are brother and sister, the brother is Wu Shengli and the sister is Wu Meiqi.
The remaining girl with an excited face was Zeng Min. She had a baby face and was actually quite young. She was the youngest among the educated youth, just 16 years old.
There was no problem at her home. Looking at her excited look, Gu Mingyue felt that she was probably the only person present who was truly ready to make a big splash in the vast world.
There was also a boy named Sun Shugao, who was muscular. Shen Zhiqiang had mentioned that he knew the eldest son of the Sun family and had also heard of this troublesome son in their family.
It seemed that the other party's family wanted him to join the army. Although he was tall and strong, he was very timid. Not only did he stutter during the interview, he also fell ill when he returned home.
The Sun family thought that it would be better not to send such a son to cause trouble to the country, so they entrusted the Shen family to arrange for him to come to the countryside for training.
