After rebirth, I still experienced a mess

239 The general route will not change

A few days after being discharged from the hospital, Guixiu came to complain: "The higher-ups said the economic difficulties are not just due to official corruption, but also due to massive infrastructure construction."

Xiao Wei was not surprised at all: "It has nothing to do with policy anyway."

"Now, infrastructure funds and materials are being checked everywhere and compressed. All materials are centralized and allocated by the government, making it difficult for units and individuals to purchase them."

"This is normal. The general line will not change, and the utopia must continue. We will continue to make big strides and big collectives."

"I kind of believe what you said about twenty years."

Xiao Wei asked unhappily, "Hasn't Bei County almost finished purchasing supplies?"

Gui Xiu sighed, "We still need a lot of wood, but we can't get it. They said that the main purpose is to build a grain station. Fortunately, you have foresight and built a brick kiln in advance, but we have to supply it according to the plan for our own use. What the hell is this? Even broken bricks are hard to buy. We only built a small sun shed."

Xiao Wei was also angry: "That means that we can only build half of the planned house."

"Yes. It says that half of the plan is enough. If we need the rest, we can only build mud walls and thatch."

“Then give me back the money I invested.”

"You're dreaming. There's no money from above, and they said that even after we make a profit, we have to support the collective operation first. Don't even think about getting your money for at least two years."

"Who the hell reported it?"

"The municipal party committee sent an investigation team. The director and I can't do anything about it."

"Are they stuffing more people in there?"

"We have an accountant, a deputy director, and a director in charge of ideological work. Our minister can do nothing about it."

Xiao Wei smiled bitterly: "Looks like I've made wedding clothes for others again."

"Are we being too ostentatious? Why is it so difficult to do something practical?"

"It doesn't matter. You don't have to go against the higher-ups. Let them deal with it first. When I can get out, I'll deal with it."

"The main reason is that we have too few capable people there. Most of the four or five people transferred from the farm are useless. The ones who can do the job either don't want to go or can't go."

When Deng Benjun heard about it, he insisted on going, but was rejected by Xiao Wei.

He is the only young man here who can be at the disposal. If something urgent happens, he cannot rely on the two old veterans.

Fortunately, at this moment, the sly Liu Jianxin came and said that he still wanted to go back to the farm with Mao Tongyi.

Xiao Wei said sarcastically, "You know it's hard to get along outside. If you don't sit still and do your job well, you won't be able to get along anywhere."

Liu Jianxin gave repeated assurances.

Xiao Wei felt that this guy was sneaky and cunning, but at least he had been working in the farm for so long, so he should be more than qualified to be a team leader.

He immediately asked Guixiu to take the young couple and the Taoist priest there.

The monk cannot leave because he needs to teach the children how to practice martial arts.

A move can bring life to the dead. No one will look down on you here, but maybe you can make great progress there.

Just when Xiao Wei was one month old, the municipal party committee received a notice from the higher authorities to hold a meeting, calling for continued unwavering efforts to make big strides and build big collectives, and to thoroughly deepen and sublimate them.

"Are you really going to stick to this path? Isn't that a big enough lesson?"

Guixiu's complaints were stopped by Xiaowei in time: "Just do what you are told to do, don't ask, don't say, don't think. With Big Brother's example in front of us, there is hope. This is just the beginning."

"You mean, there will be even more powerful ones in the future?"

Xiao Wei nodded and shook his head, and said vaguely: "It's hard to say whether it's powerful or not. Maybe, destroying the foundation and rebuilding it is not necessarily a bad thing."

With Jiang Yingying's insistence, Xiao Wei was able to go to Bei County for inspection after two full months.

Oh. A criminal cannot be considered an inspection, at most it can be considered a visit to a relative.

Jiang Yingying naturally brought her children with her.

There was a hundred meters of dirt road between the highway and the farm, which was full of potholes caused by the tractor. Guixiu had no choice but to park the car on the side of the road and get out with the children's belongings on her back.

The wooden gate of the fence is simple yet distinctive.

The guard obviously knew Guixiu and greeted her politely.

Jiang Yingying was holding the baby, and Xiaowei, who was wearing a wig, was holding Jiwei's hand. They were about to go in when the middle-aged guard stopped them and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Xiao Wei answered quickly: "Visiting relatives and friends."

"Which group does the relative belong to? What's his name?"

“I don’t know that group.”

"You can't go in there, especially if you have children with you. Everyone inside is busy. It's very dangerous."

Guixiu covered her mouth and smiled without saying anything.

Xiao Wei shook her messy short hair and said, "Do you think I look like a bad guy?"

The guard answered irrelevantly: "You have to tell me who you are looking for before you can enter."

"I said I was looking for Jiang Wenbing, do you believe me?"

"Are you looking for Director Jiang?"

"Isn't it the same?"

The guard looked at Xiao Wei, then at Jiang Yingying: "Then - please come in."

After walking in fifty or sixty meters, Xiao Wei joked with Gui Xiu who was walking in front of him: "I can still get in without you. This is called charm."

Jiang Yingying laughed: "You little girl looks so good like this, it's so charming that it's killing me."

Gui Xiu was not convinced: "I can tell at a glance that you and Sister Jiang are not ordinary people. Isn't this normal?"

The farm was a little bigger than the one in the south of the city. There was a loudspeaker inside, and it was obvious that a general meeting was in progress. An unfamiliar man was giving a report. Xiao Wei immediately lost his appetite when he heard all kinds of empty slogans.

Jiang Wenbing, who was on the rostrum, saw her first and stood up to greet her: "It's really Xiao Ji. Ah, hello, Sister Jiang. What a rare guest, what a rare guest."

Jiang Yingying smiled and said, "Just do your thing. Don't worry about us."

Jiang Wenbing shook his head: "How can that be possible?"

As he spoke, he snatched the child away: "The little guy is so well-behaved and cute."

Guixiu snorted: "Don't you even look at who gave birth to the child?"

Jiang Wenbing joked: "Don't be envious. The child you and Yijie have won't be bad either."

Gui Xiu laughed: "Old leader, your flattery is too much."

As they were talking, they walked to the edge of the venue. A few people they knew saw Xiao Wei and stood up and sat down again.

Xiao Wei looked at the director who was giving the report and said, "Let's adjourn the meeting."

The director had only read half of the manuscript when he asked angrily, "Who are you?"

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "There are only two or three hundred people in this tiny place. If there is anything, just tell them. Is there any need to waste time? Do you have to hold meetings all the time to remind the workers? Are you the boss of the farm?"

The director said with difficulty: "You - you are Xiao Ji?"

Xiao Wei said the most harsh words with the most innocent smile: "Yes, yes, I feel sick when I see long speeches about thoughts."

The director was humiliated in front of him, how could he bear it: "You-you have reactionary ideas."

Xiao Wei covered her mouth and laughed sweetly: "Do you know what I think? Is there any evidence to prove that I am reactionary? I think you are deliberately wasting everyone's time and affecting production. This is hindering construction, hindering the big steps, and digging into the corners of society. You are suspected of being a spy."

"How can we produce without correct thinking?"

"How do you know that someone's thoughts are not right? If there is evidence that they are not right, can't you just fire them? What do you mean by tolerating bad apples here?"

"you--"

"Don't hold such meetings in the future. It's okay to hold small meetings to study work. Except for the year-end summary and awards ceremony, don't hold large meetings to show off. It's a joke to just know a little bit about ideology and politics and pretend to be powerful. Do you know the true meaning of the general line? Where do the big hip steps and the big collective come from? What is the most fundamental problem to be solved?"

Jiang Wenbing tried to smooth things over: "Let's adjourn the meeting."
