The educated youth did not go out of their way to hide their affairs from the village; the matter of the gathering had long been spread in the village.
Although the educated youths all eat food they bring or buy, but here they eat big fish and meat, while over there they can only eat two small meals and one dry meal.
When compared, the difference becomes clear.
Therefore, discussions among the villagers are inevitable. Xiaoqingshan Village is not large, and it only takes ten minutes to walk from the beginning to the end of the village.
Passed on and on, it reached the old village chief.
On the other side, when the old village chief mentioned that he should pay attention to the impact, Li Jie instantly understood what he meant.
People are actually very satisfied, but sometimes they are very greedy.
The more you see, the more you know, the more you desire.
If everyone is on the same level, there won't be so much confusion.
Don't worry about scarcity but worry about inequality, it's nothing more than this.
"I'll remind them."
If it were any other educated youth, they might not be able to understand the old village chief's concerns, but Li Jie understands this very well.
Having experienced so many worlds, he understands human nature very well.
Hearing this, the old village chief was stunned for a moment. He originally thought he would say more, but what surprised him was that the baby 'Bingkun' was so easy to talk to.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel lucky.
When I first recommended ‘Bingkun’ to be the leader, I was right to recommend him.
Afterwards, Li Jie chatted with the old village chief for a while and then left.
Back at the educated youth point, the meals for the evening party were almost finished, and we just had to wait until the time came for the meal to be served.
At this time, most of the educated youths came to the canteen.
The world is vast, and the Five Zang Temple is the largest. The food tonight is very rich, and it can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.
Therefore, all the educated youths came together. Seeing that everyone was present, Li Jie first handed out the manual, and then told him about the rehearsal in three days.
When they heard that they were going to work, the educated youths did not have much reaction.
Who doesn't work in the countryside? Besides, it's just cutting pig grass and chopping firewood. What a big deal?
Unknowingly, it was evening. On this night, the lights were brightly lit by the educated youth, and everyone, gay or lesbian, drank a little bit of wine.
After getting drunk, the party atmosphere gradually reached a climax.
Zhao Hongxing was well prepared. He took out the accordion directly from the dormitory and played a piece of "Ode to Coral" for everyone on the spot.
After the song ended, the educated youths lost all scruples due to the drunkenness, and someone actually suggested that they hold a dance party.
However, Zhao Hongxing did not agree to the accompaniment.
Her face was red and she looked like she had drunk too much, but in fact she was very clear-headed.
When dancing, there will inevitably be physical contact between men and women, and the lights at the venue are very dim. In this case, it is not a good idea to gather people to dance.
Zhao Hongxing did not agree to the accompaniment, so the dancing was dropped.
That's fine, it saves Li Jie the chance to intervene. If Zhao Hongxing really agrees, he will probably step in to stop it.
After all, he is the head of the educated youth center. If the news really leaks out, he will definitely be held responsible.
It would be even more troublesome if it got stuck.
After this incident, Li Jie's understanding of Zhao Hongxing deepened.
It is rare to see a girl like this who knows what's going on, knows how to advance and retreat, and has a sense of proportion. If she were placed in a later generation with a relaxed business environment, this girl would definitely achieve great things.
Li Jie planned to observe more about this girl. She was somewhat of a talent. If she could grow up, she would be good as a helper.
…
…
…
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
In the early morning of this day, all the educated youths got up very early. Today was a day for trial work. The male comrades went to the mountains to chop firewood, while the female comrades went to collect pig grass.
In fact, in weather like this, there is basically no pigweed to hunt. The village lets lesbians hunt pigweed, mostly to let them learn.
However, this is not the case when it comes to male educated youths.
The winter in Jichun City is very cold. The temperature has been close to zero recently, but this is just the beginning.
Colder days are yet to come.
When the weather gets colder, the kang will come in handy, and burning the kang requires fuel. Xiaoqingshan Village is in the mountains. As the saying goes, the mountain depends on the mountain.
Dry firewood on the mountain is the best fuel.
There is no concept of environmental protection these days. It is natural for farmers to go to the mountains to cut firewood.
Leading the male educated youths was Sun Wenhua, captain of the first brigade of Xiaoqingshan Village. He was about forty years old. In future generations, a forty-year-old man was still in his prime.
But now, Sun Wenhua's appearance looks a bit old.
Being exposed to the wind and sun every day, I can't even think about not growing old.
His skin is very dark and his body is very strong. Even though he is wrapped in a big coat, you can still see the tendons on his body.
After walking on the mountain road for about half an hour, Sun Wenhua led everyone to a mountain col. When he heard the complaints coming from behind, his brows frowned unconsciously.
How long have you been gone?
Are these dolls starting to scream?
When he was as old as an educated youth, he could walk on mountain roads for half an hour or even for a whole day without barking.
Until this moment, Sun Wenhua suddenly had an idea in his heart.
Can these dolls really help them?
Sun Wenhua turned his head and glanced at the crowd. Except for a few relatively strong educated youths, the rest were all grinning.
Seeing this scene, he sighed inwardly.
Immediately, he pointed towards the mountain col ahead.
"This land is a firewood-cutting spot set aside by the village for you educated youths. If you are short of firewood in the future, you can come here to cut firewood."
The mountains surrounding Xiaoqingshan Village all have owners. Although they are collective property, each piece of land still has private ownership.
For example, cutting firewood can only be done in a specified area. This is an unspoken rule.
In addition, cutting firewood is also very particular. For example, wood that is relatively old cannot be cut because those trees can be used for furniture.
Generally, trees that are thinner than an adult male's calves can be cut down.
Although he had doubts about whether the educated youth could help the village, Sun Wenhua still patiently taught the educated youth lessons, telling them which trees could be cut down and which trees should not be cut down.
At the same time, he also imparted some common sense to the educated youth.
For example, cutting firewood does not necessarily mean literally. You can also use picking, directly cutting branches from the tree, which cannot be used directly when you return.
Because these firewood are wet firewood, they cannot be burned directly.
But the dead branches on the ground are different. If you pick up the firewood, it can be used even if there is no sun. It can be used after a few days of drying.
Li Jie and his group of educated youths are all from Jichun City. When they are in the city, they usually make fires to cook and use coal to burn the kang. They really don’t know much about firewood.
At first, they thought it was very interesting, but when they started to work officially, they found that things were not that simple.
It is actually very difficult to find dead branches that have fallen naturally to the ground, and even if you look for them for a long time, you may not be able to get a bundle together.
Moreover, most of the fallen dead branches are thin and not thick enough, which means they are not resistant to burning.
