Chapter 68 Member Meeting

On the threshing floor of Wujiatun, under a banner that welcomed educated youth to join the queue and settle down, Wu Mangui, the village party secretary in his fifties, wearing a black cotton-padded jacket and holding a dry pipe in his hand, was trying to maintain order on the scene, no matter what he shouted.

Even though they were shouting at the top of their lungs, the villagers below were still having fun in their own way.

The men smoked cigarettes and joked around, while the women sat in groups in twos and threes, picking up the soles of their shoes and talking about the shortcomings of the East and the West. The children shuttled among the crowd, chasing and playing wildly.

On one side of the venue, six educated youths were huddled together. Some looked around with great interest at everything in front of them, while some had faces full of worry and confusion about the future.

"Folks, stop talking, there's going to be a meeting!"

After calling again to no avail, Wu Mangui simply stopped, turned around and gave a few words of advice to accountant Wu Shengli in a voice that was almost smoking.

Wu Shengli nodded when he heard this, then left and returned after a while, handing the gong in his hand to Wu Mangui's hand.

Wu Mangui picked up the gong and struck it hard. Suddenly, there was a harsh "bang" sound inside and outside the venue, and everyone fell silent for a moment.

But then, a child was suddenly frightened and let out a deafening cry, and the venue fell into chaos again.

After recognizing the appearance of the crying child, Wu Mangui yelled at a corner of the venue: "Mother Wu, please take your eggs away from me. Didn't you see that there is a meeting? Do you still have some organizational discipline?"

Hearing the sound, a middle-aged woman wearing a green cotton-padded jacket stood up from the crowd, holding her sleeves and yelling: "You bastard, you obviously frightened our eggs, and you dared to rake them down. Believe it or not."

I’ll make you look miserable!”

Upon hearing this, the educated youth complained and started shouting one after another.

Wu Shengli glanced at Wu Mangui, who replied: "As a young man, you have a flexible mind, and you got the idea right away. I won't hide it from you, it's all corn and sorghum."

Hearing this number, Huang Xinhua said optimistically: "Oh, it's quite a lot. It's more than the ration I had at home. Four hundred and eighty divided by three hundred and sixty-five, that is, about one pound or three taels a day.

Now I won’t be hungry anymore.”

"I……"

Seeing this, Wu Mangui said embarrassedly: "Young people, don't laugh. You will know as time goes by. There are several people in our commune who are donkeys. If they are not led away, they will go backwards. Well, let's continue.

,Hey, where did I just say?"

"Then what should we do? Are we going to be hungry again?"

"Ah, why is this like this?"

Zhao Ye raised his hand and shouted back: "Party Secretary Wu, you just said that there is Wu Laoliu who is a bitch and you asked him to give his wife a beating!"

Wu Mangui rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Think of a good thing! It's true that the grain output in Northeast China is high, but the public grain task is also heavy. The villagers basically have enough food and clothing on weekdays. How can there be any surplus grain to support you?"

"Really or not?"

After a while, a muffled voice came from the crowd: "You can't tell me this, my wife is the head of the family."

After saying that, he quickly winked at Huang Xinhua and Han Jianguo, signaling them to keep an eye on Wang Bowei.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became more cheerful.

Before he finished speaking, Wang Bowei asked loudly: "Party Secretary Wu, does Murakami want to subsidize food for us?"

Accountant Wu Shengli stood up and replied: "I got it back. According to the regulations of the Educated Youth Affairs Office, each person has forty kilograms of raw grain per month, which is 480 kilograms a year. The total for six people is 2880 kilograms."

Seeing that Wang Bowei was still nagging, Wu Mangui was obviously a little annoyed, and his tone of voice became more and more impatient.

Zhao Ye shrugged and continued to look at the center of the venue with relish.

"You bitch, you can't have any potential. It's so embarrassing for a grown man to let a woman sit on his head and poop and pee. Your wife talks back to you, so why don't you beat her up?"

Zhao Ye laughed and replied: "I want to join, but I don't have a chance!"

Wu Mangui lit up a pot of cigarettes and said happily: "What did I just say? You are more eye-catching when I see you. Have you joined the party?"

"I have already talked about the solution, but you keep interrupting me. How about you come up with the solution?"

No matter what era, Chinese people can't escape the habit of joining in the fun. As soon as someone dares to go against the village party secretary, many people will immediately start booing below.

When Wang Bowei was about to argue, he was interrupted by Zhao Ye: "Secretary Wu, please calm down! This guy of mine is from the city and doesn't understand the rules of our commune. You don't want to be on the same level with him. It's better to talk about business!"

"

Gao Xiaoqin, who was in tears, even slapped Zhao Ye, laughed and cursed in a low voice: "Be honest and don't make trouble."

Wu Mangui saw this situation and had no choice but to persuade him: "Don't make trouble yet, listen to me carefully. The rations for you educated youths are indeed not enough, but it is not impossible to solve it..."

"Then you just said a lot, wasn't it in vain?"

Zhao Ye looked around and found that no one was speaking, so he could only step forward again and ask: "Party Secretary Wu, I don't know how big the wasteland you mentioned is. How to deal with grain seeds, farm tools and cattle?"

Zhao Ye couldn't help but hit him with words: "What good things are you thinking about? Haven't you heard people say it is raw grain? What is raw grain? Raw grain is grain that has not been peeled. Once the skin is removed, it is good to have thirty kilograms left.

"

The educated youths who came to jump in line were all city residents. They all burst into laughter when they had never heard such vulgar and funny curse words.

"That's what the accountant said."

I saw Wu Mangui spitting on the ground and said loudly: "It's not about this, uh, by the way, it's about welcoming educated youth. It's the great leader's idea for this educated youth to go to the countryside. Since the old man said that, it must be wrong.

It would be wrong.

"Everyone knows that our Northeast is full of black soil, and the land is the most fertile. Therefore, the village committee decided to hand over the land in the back village to you educated youths, and you will personally open up wasteland and cultivate the land. This will not only increase public grain for the country

, it can also solve your problem of insufficient rations."

Zhao Ye ignored the others and asked Wu Shengli loudly: "Accountant Wu, I would like to ask if the grains allocated to us are coarse grains, fine grains, or both coarse and fine grains?"

We in Wujiatun resolutely support the leader’s idea, and the village committee will definitely implement this matter properly. Well, Victory, have the educated youths received their rations back?”

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately started talking in low voices.

"Hey, what's the matter with you young man? Why do you keep interrupting the leader?"

"Well, behave well and I will introduce you to the party at the beginning of the new year." After casually writing a blank check to Zhao Ye, Wu Mangui got down to business:

Wu Mangui seemed to know that this woman was not easy to mess with. After muttering, "A good man doesn't fight with a woman," he chose to open fire on the woman's husband, who he called Wu Laoliu:

"Wu Laoliu, you big mountain cannon, can't you take care of your mother-in-law?"

Wu Mangui glanced at Zhao Ye unexpectedly. He didn't expect that there was a knowledgeable person here, but he didn't seem to want to answer the question. Instead, he shied away:

"After you have settled down, you can discuss this matter with Captain Zhang. Now let Accountant Wu take you to see the house and take the food back. Okay, I announce that today's meeting will end here and be adjourned!"

As soon as Wu Mangui gave the order, the threshing floor immediately dispersed. In the blink of an eye, only six educated youths and the accountant Wu Shengli remained.

Wu Shengli walked up to a few people, looked at Zhao Ye's bicycle enviously, and said lukewarmly: "Come with me, I will take you to see the house."
