Rebirth in the 1970s with Space

Chapter 42: Conflict at the Youth Point

When Zhang Xue, Zhang Baoguo and others arrived at the educated youth point, the old and new educated youth stood in two camps, each in silence. All the old educated youths had red faces, gasping for breath, and several male educated youths were even slightly injured. The new educated youths stood there calmly. It was clear from one look that the battle just now ended with the victory of the new educated youths.

After seeing the brigade cadres coming, the old educated youth immediately felt that they had found a backer, and hurried over to complain.

Fang Hua, the head of the educated youth point, had a purple face, gnashed his teeth, looked at the people around the brigade leader Zhang Xue and said to Zhang Xue:

"Captain, look at my face. These are all the beatings from the newcomers. We, the old educated youth, tried our best to help the new educated youth when they arrived. Look at us now. We helped them in a wrong way. We got beaten for no reason, and even after the beating, we filed a complaint first."

After Fang Hua finished speaking, the old educated youth Xu Lai Di also started to say: "Captain, we all used to eat together in this educated youth camp. We would take out any delicious food and share it with everyone. But when it comes to the new educated youth, everyone hides their food. They are afraid that we will take advantage of them. They don't think about the fact that we, the old educated youth, cooked the meals and collected the firewood. We just asked them to take out the food to improve the food for everyone, but they all have objections."

The villagers who followed the team leader couldn't help but twitch their lips after hearing what Xu Lai Di said. Xu Lai Di was from the city, how could she take advantage of others so naturally?

Some women started chatting with people around them, regardless of whether they were in front of the person involved or not. One woman said, "I originally wanted to find a wife for my son who was an educated youth, but now it seems that these educated youth are just like us rural people. They will fight over trivial matters. These city girls can't work as well as village girls. It's better to find a girl who knows me well in the future."

Another woman echoed, "That's right. These female educated youth are all so delicate. The work they do in a day is not enough to feed themselves. If someone marries one of them, they will have to pay for their food. Not everyone in our village is Sun Yuan, so they can be taken with them to follow the army."

While these ladies were discussing heatedly, Su Wei from the new educated youth team spoke up, "Comrade Xu Lai Di, I'm really sorry. We did something wrong. We new educated youth shouldn't have used the food rations distributed by the village to subsidize you old educated youth; we shouldn't have shared the meat and vegetables we brought from home with you old educated youth; we shouldn't have been so proactive in fetching water and firewood. I'm really, really sorry."

"You old educated youth have worked hard. We new educated youth have discussed it and decided to set up a separate stove for us new educated youth so that we can cook our own meals. We won't let the old educated youth suffer any more."

The educated youth site in Zhangjiapo Brigade was built with adobe houses to welcome the educated youth. It was built less than two years ago and has welcomed three batches of educated youth. The house is built with a large bunk bed. There are brick beds on both sides of the door. Twenty people can live in one room.

For this group of newly arrived young masters and young ladies, it was really a brand new experience. Moreover, many of them came to Zhangjiapo Brigade for their own tasks. Living in a large bunk bed, there was no privacy at all, so how could they move around?

Later, they came up with a plan. The educated youth would definitely come back in the future, and they would not leave Zhangjiapo Brigade before completing their mission. So they planned to build a house near the educated youth compound with their own money, and when they left, the house would belong to the village.

In this way, the village leaders should not have any objections. Before they went to find the village leaders, these old educated youths started a quarrel with them over a little food, which made them speechless.

For the new batch of educated youth, except for Cai Shan, none of them were vegetables. These people could support themselves well if they did not rely on their families for financial support

Even the worst Cai Shan had good cooking skills and the skills of cutting and sewing. Otherwise, Ji Shichang would not have chosen a person who would hold his son back. Ji Shichang began to train Ji Jing when he was very young.

When the Ji family was in trouble this time, Ji Shichang relied on the connections he had built up over the years to get the news in advance and made arrangements in advance. When Ji Jing went to the countryside, he brought most of his family's property with him.

After arriving at Zhangjiapo Brigade, Ji Jing immediately found a place to hide the money he brought. And he didn't hide his things in the deep mountains and forests as everyone thought. Instead, he bought an uninhabited house in the county and hid it there. The name of the person who bought the house was a fake name that Ji Shichang had arranged for him in advance.

Let's get back to the point. After Su Wei finished speaking, Jin Shicheng quickly said, "Captain, we just came to the village and don't know the rules of our village. Is there a rule in our village that people with good living conditions should unconditionally support people with poor living conditions?"

Zhang Xue and his group had already heard Yue Wu's story on the way here. Zhang Xue and his group thought Yue Wu's story was a bit exaggerated, but they didn't expect these old educated youth to be so decent. They were also thick-skinned, and he couldn't compare with them.

Zhang Baoguo was also sighing in his heart. He originally thought Zhang Xue was thick-skinned. Unexpectedly, there are people who are thick-skinned than Zhang Xue. It really opened his eyes

How come he hadn't noticed that the kids in the Youths' Home were so thick-skinned before? It seemed that these educated youths had been hiding too deeply before, and they didn't interact much with the villagers, so they didn't know how powerful these educated youths were.

Zhang Baoguo is now very grateful that these educated youth look down on them, the rural people. Otherwise, if these educated youth had the nerve to go to the villagers' homes like this once or twice, people wouldn't think anything of it. But if it lasted for a long time, it would be bad if the educated youth and the villagers had conflicts.

Zhang Baoguo thanked the new educated youth in his heart, thanking them for their wealth and power. These old educated youth showed their thick-skinned true colors early on. As long as these kids from the city don't cause trouble for the villagers, their internal fights have nothing to do with the village.

As long as none of the educated youth had lost limbs or died, and as long as the farm work in the village was not affected, it was fine for Zhang Baoguo.

But now it's different. We are about to start work, and these people are making such a fuss here. It's really infuriating.
