Bringing space back to the 1970s to develop rural areas

Chapter 11 Let's Build Two More Kangs

Wang Kangkang, the leader of the Qingshan Brigade in Wangjia Village, Heilongjiang Province, looked at the list of educated youth issued for the second time this month. His temples kept throbbing and his tone was very unhappy:

"I've been busy with planting and sowing rice, how can I have time to take care of these spoiled kids from the city?"

Damn it, five educated youth came last week. After working for four days, two of them asked for leave, one cut himself with a sickle and sent the sentence to the town hospital, and one picked up a dead pheasant from somewhere and brought it back to the educated youth home, where he secretly cooked it with his fellow villagers.

When they were found, both of them were foaming at the mouth and convulsing all over, so he rushed them to the town hospital.

These educated youths were always causing trouble, and as the team leader, he was almost going bald.

Fortunately, their village secretary, Lao Yang, was an educated man. He helped him write the report, stated the facts, and reasoned with him, thus saving him from being criticized.

We had just brought the person back from the hospital, and another one was sent over.

Wang Kangkang's face was darker than the bottom of his own pot.

"Uncle Yang, you have a good brain. Help me think of a way to transfer people to the next brigade. We don't have any vacant houses for the educated youth to live in."

The village secretary, Old Yang Youping, flipped through the list and shook his head: "Do you think the higher-ups don't know the situation in our village? Since they know the situation in our village, they still keep stuffing people in. Can't you see through the reason behind this?"

Wang Kangkang’s hand scratching his hair paused and his expression froze.

Yes, why is it that the village is always crowded with people when we know the situation? Doesn't it mean that the brigade next door is also crowded with people?

Since more and more spoiled kids came from the city, they made trouble every now and then, and even the people from the Youth League Office expressed their comfort to him.

After being named "Advanced Labor Brigade" for two consecutive years in the past few years, he and Secretary Yang mobilized the villagers to work hard and continue to make efforts. If they could be awarded a new tractor as an "Advanced Brigade" one year later.

As a result, the newly arrived educated youth started to have affairs with other people, broke up other people's families in order to get a city hukou, and were then sent to the educated youth home in the village by their parents.

As the team leader, he failed to supervise properly and was taken to the county to write a review and self-criticism.

From then on, the Youth League Institute has never been peaceful.

He even suspected that he had accidentally stepped on some immortal being when he was in the mountain, which was why he was suffering so much.

Wang Kangkang kept scratching his head. There were plenty of vacant land in the village that could not be cultivated, but the main reason was that the village committee did not have the spare money to expand the Youth League Home.

Live in a fellow villager's house. There is noise every day. The relationship between the villagers and the educated youth has never been very good.

They missed the opportunity to become an "advanced brigade" and get a new tractor. He also discovered several serious thefts, so he didn't dare to let the educated youth live in the villagers' homes anymore.

Wang Kangkang had a sad face, as if there was no hope in his life.

"Alas, I just hope that the Youth Hostel will be quiet. I can no longer count on the 'Advanced Brigade'. With this wave of educated youth coming here, there is no place for them to live. They will have to go to the commune again to make trouble."

He didn't know when he would get the new tractor, and his heart ached so much that even the big front door that Secretary Yang handed to him couldn't stop the pain in his heart.

Yang Youping pointed his finger at the table and said, "The rooms in the Youth Hostel are quite big, but there is no kang for them to sleep on.

It doesn’t cost much to build a kang, so just build another one on the other side.

The room is a bit crowded, but at least there is a place to stay.

If anyone is dissatisfied with the crowding, let them find a way to move out.”

Wang Kangkang’s eyes lit up. Yes, why didn’t he think of it?

"This is a good idea. It turns out that the old ones are the wisest. This person has a flexible mind."

"Tomorrow we'll ask Wang Er to come over and fix two kangs. This wave of educated youth will take ten days or half a month to arrive. By then the kangs will be dry, and the rest can be solved by the educated youth leaders themselves."

Yang Youping gave up writing to join the army, climbed snow-capped mountains, and crossed swamps. If his parents had agreed, he would also like to go to the 38th parallel to fight the Eagle Sauce.

Nowadays, these kids who hold pens are all very pampered. If they get blisters on their palms while carrying a hoe, they feel like the sky has fallen and cry for their parents. They even whine when they kill a wild rabbit, but they eat it more deliciously than anyone else.

Fortunately, although his two sons are educated youth, they are also strong-willed.

Just like those young men who can't lift or carry anything, he is definitely not able to control his temper and will give them a big slap to blast all the shit out of their brains.

"Okay, it's not too busy right now, just give Wang Er two more work points. This will save us from having to make them sleep on the floor when more people come when we're busy."

"Do you still want them to continue to come?"

"Ling ring ring~~"

"Bah, bah, bah, look at my broken mouth, what nonsense are you talking about. Uncle Yang, I'll go find Wang Er first, you answer the phone." The captain said with grease on his feet.

Yang Youping said politely: "Hello, Qingshan Brigade, who are you looking for?"

"Old Yang, don't pretend to be polite in front of me. You have a lot of bad intentions in your heart. If you keep pretending, the water will overflow."

The person on the other end of the phone started talking loudly, and Yang Youping was furious: "Zhang Qizheng, don't think that you can show off every day just because you hide in Yangcheng and become a crappy factory manager because I can't beat you up."

"Hey, come here. You are a political commissar who can only talk. You want to fight with me? I can't get you."

The person who called was Zhang Qizhen, the director of Yangcheng Shipyard. They were in the same unit and were friends for life.

"Bah, I was also a soldier carrying a gun, but you are just a bunch of bastards. If you have something to say, just say it. If you have nothing to say, hang up the phone. I am very busy and don't have time to reminisce about the past with you."

"No, no, no, I have something important to do. The girl from the Ruoshu family wants your team to go to the countryside."

"What?" Yang Youping was shocked. "Doesn't Dai have a job?"

Yang Qingdai has a city hukou, a job, and is the only daughter of a martyr. It is impossible for her to run from the prosperous city in the south to the rural area in the north to do farm work.

"Li Juhua is the one who did this. She was sent to the countryside in order to prevent her from coming back and to embezzle her property. The comrades from the Youth Office will arrange for her to go directly to your place. She left early today, so remember to take good care of her."

No wonder. When he looked at the list of educated youth and saw a "Yang Qingdai", he thought they were just people with the same name and surname from the same place.

"What about that woman? Is she dead?"

if there is not……

A cold light flashed in Yang Youping's eyes. That damned woman killed his only brother, and now she was making trouble by sending his good niece to the countryside to suffer.

Zhang Qizheng was choked by his own breath and coughed, "Old Political Commissar, it's a peaceful time, please be careful with your words."

Hearing three consecutive "ahs" made Yang Youping want to rub the goose bumps off his arms.

"Tell me about it!"

"Hehe," the serious and steady Director Zhang suddenly disappeared in front of his old comrades, "He severed his relationship with Dai Yatou, and then he went to the Public Security Bureau with her stepmother-in-law, and the two of them even had a fight inside.

It is said that he was locked in a small dark room for half a month.

Li Qinghong went out to rescue the girl but it was useless, and the police even ordered him to pay Dai Yatou one thousand yuan in compensation.”

"That's it? You are useless in Guangzhou?" He hung up the phone directly.

He had to quickly renovate the house so that Dai would have a place to live when she returned. The Youth House was in a mess, and he couldn't bear to see his only daughter being harmed by others.

After being confronted and hung up on, Factory Director Zhang Qizhen wanted to rush to Heilongjiang Province to fight him.
