Chapter 24 The Gathering

In the end, the educated youth gathering was organized. Zhao Hongxing was very good at organizing events and had a generous personality. She was very popular among both girls and boys groups.

And the party just scratched everyone's itch.

As for the materials for the party, it is actually not difficult to solve them. The educated youth in the educated youth spot are all from the city, and even those from poorer families have brought a lot of good things.

There is no shortage of canned meat, salted meat, salted fish and other meats, but few people bring wine.

Finally, Zhao Hongxing led the team and headed to Qingshan Commune to buy a few bottles of wine.

When the village learned that the educated youth were going to hold a gathering, they just sent someone to help and then ignored it.

After all, everyone is not familiar with it yet, and some things are hard to say, not to mention that what the educated youth create is their own thing.

The village has no reason to take care of it.

Thus, the first educated youth gathering was held.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the second chef's eyes turned red when he saw the ingredients being delivered to the kitchen.

What a waste!

The piles of salted chicken, salted duck, bacon, and salted fish are as high as a hill. In addition to salted goods, there is also a lot of fresh pork.

If we compare the meal received yesterday, this meal can equal the three meals yesterday.

"well."

Looking at the pile of ingredients, Erqiang sighed silently.

These kids really don’t know how expensive tea, rice, oil and salt are. Life is so expensive. Wasn’t what they ate yesterday good enough?

Do you want to continue making today?

Even if there is a mountain of gold and silver at home, it is not enough to build anything!

After a while, several female educated youths came to the kitchen chatting and laughing. They were here to help.

The food for thirty people depends on one person's work. When the work is done, it will probably be dark.

Seeing the female educated youth coming, Erqiang looked at her sideways, and then quickly looked away.

'The girls in the city are just different, every tender one can squeeze out tears.'

Thinking of this, Er Qiang sighed again and even bent his back a little.

He thought that it would be great if he could become a city dweller, so that his girl could be like these female educated youths.

But Erqiang knows very well how rare urban household registration is.

He doesn't have any special abilities, so there's no chance he could move to the city.

He is a farmer, and his ancestors have been farmers for generations.

The second strongman's wish is very simple, from not being starved to death at the beginning, to having enough to eat now.

He is thirty-three years old this year. There are four children in his family, two boys and two girls. The eldest is already able to work in the fields to earn work points, and the younger is only four or five years old.

"Master Erqiang, could you please help me kill these fish?"

At this time, a crisp female voice interrupted Erqiang's thoughts. He turned around and saw a short-haired female educated youth walking over carrying two large carps.

"Okay, just leave it there and I'll come over and kill you later."

Er Qiang nodded with a smile. He was a cook, and the job of killing fish was not troublesome at all for him.

"Okay, thank you."

The female educated youth thanked her with a smile, put the fish on the stove, and then walked back to the pond.

Looking at the leaving figure of the female educated youth, Er Qiang felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

The dolls in the city are just different. They speak so nicely. Thank you.

In the cafeteria, Zhao Hongxing looked around but couldn't find Li Jie, then she grabbed someone at random and asked.

"Huang Wenge, have you seen Zhou Bingkun?"

Huang Wenge is young, only sixteen years old. He just graduated from junior high school this year. He is thin and small, wears glasses, and looks easy to bully.

In fact, Huang Wenge was bullied a lot when he was in school. Therefore, his personality was very introverted, and he seemed very reserved in unfamiliar environments.

I saw him reaching out and pointing outside, mumbling.

"I just saw Dian Chang go out. He seemed to have been summoned by the village."

"Okay, I understand."

Although Huang Wenge seemed easy to bully, Zhao Hongxing had no intention of bullying him. After asking, he waved his hand to indicate that he could leave.

On the other side, Li Jie came to the village branch under the leadership of the team leader.

He came to get the labor record book for the members, a small, thin book with a few lines of red letters printed on the cover.

"Supreme Directive, political work is the lifeline of all economic work, agriculture depends on everyone, the party's policies, and the enthusiasm of 500 million farmers"

The manual is used to record centimeters. It is recorded every day and signed and sealed by the production team leader, just like the attendance record in later generations.

There are ten centimeters in total every day, and there are ten centimeters for perfect attendance every day. If you arrive late and leave early, the corresponding centimeters will be deducted.

In the city, income is wages, while in rural areas it is centimeters. At the end of the year, the commune conducts unified accounting and finds it in centimeters.

When Li Jie came, he inquired about it and found that one centimeter in Xiaoqingshan Village was worth about 7 cents, and ten centimeters a day, which is 70 cents.

Seventy cents a day, calculated based on thirty days, is twenty-one dollars a month, which does not seem like a very low income.

However, the work weight in rural areas is not recorded every day in centimeters.

Therefore, when the two offset each other, the gap between urban and rural areas becomes apparent.

After receiving the manual, Li Jie was asked to stay again by the old village chief.

"Bingkun, there is something I need to discuss with you."

Li Jie smiled slightly: "Uncle Baogen, tell me."

"In two days, I'm going to let the villagers take you and familiarize yourself with the farm work in the village."

The old village chief said bluntly: "It's like this. I'm thinking, you are all kids from the city. You probably haven't done much before."

"Let's do it easy the first time. The female comrades will go hunting for pigweed, while the male comrades will go up the mountain with the team to chop wood."

"Do you think this arrangement is appropriate?"

"fine."

Naturally, Li Jie would not object to the village's arrangements, and cutting firewood and collecting pigweed was indeed not too tiring.

However, that is for villagers. If you were an educated youth, you would probably have to take a break after working for half a day.

"Okay, then it's settled."

Hearing this, the old village chief secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was his first time dealing with educated youths, and he was crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Then, he glanced at the labor manual placed on the table.

"By the way, can you use this thing?"

"Yes, Captain Sun just told me and gave me the seal."

"Um."

The old village chief nodded, and then he suddenly fell silent. He was not very familiar with it after all, and he was not very talkative, so the scene became cold.

After a while, the old village chief suddenly thought of something.

"I heard that you had a party today and went to the commune to buy wine?"

Li Jie nodded and said: "Yes, that's what happened. We will stay here for a long time in the future. When we first met, we all proposed to hold a party."

"oh."

The old village chief pondered for a moment and reminded.

"The village has no objection to holding a party, but from now on, it's best to pay attention to the impact."
