Chapter 43 The village is complicated

【1】

These days, the people of Makino Flower Village are very busy, working one after another. Harvest rape first, dry rapeseed, and press rapeseed oil. Then it is followed by shaved garlic. These jobs are all competitions. So, when everyone does these jobs, everyone can do it energetically.

On the morning of Children's Day, Zhang Guangming attached great importance to the education of the next generation. He hurried to the school. Because today the school is going to hold an oath-taking ceremony for the new Young Pioneers. So, he came to the school office early and held a short meeting with the principal and teachers.

Zhang Zhishu said: "As teachers, you must not make others known with your faintness. In order for students to establish lofty ideals, teachers should first tell them stories about the little heroes of the revolution......

As soon as the meeting ended, Zhang Zhishu followed the young principal and teachers to the playground. Principal Sun Wei announced: "Now I ask the Young Pioneers to put on a red scarf for our Counselor Zhang. We welcome Counselor Zhang to speak to us!" all the students stood up and sang the loud Young Pioneers song, and the new team members began to solemnly swear an oath with the captain. Then Zhang Guangming and the old and young pioneers solemnly put red scarves on the new young pioneers one by one.

At the meeting, Zhang Guangming said with a solemn expression: "Students, do you know why our red scarf is so red?"

The team members shook their heads, "Because it's the same as my country's five-star red flag! It's dyed with the blood of thousands of little martyrs!" Zhang Guangming said with a serious expression, "Today I will tell you the story of a little hero, Sun Ming." The teachers and students stared at Zhang Zhishu with eyes as bright as black diamonds.

Zhang Guangming said loudly, "One afternoon in 1943, Sun Ming and his parents helped the Eighth Route Army store grain in a deep hole in the back mountain. After finishing their work, the family hurried to the village. Walking to the head of the village, a group of enemies came head-on. The group of enemies came to the family, smelled Sun Ming's family, and there was a faint smell of food. The enemy also found a few grains of wheat on the flat cart pulled by Sun Ming's father, and knew that the family must have gone to the back mountain to store grain for the Eighth Route Army. So, the enemy hung Sun Ming's parents upside down on a big tree, poured chili pepper water on the couple, and beat them fiercely with leather whips. Sun Ming gritted his teeth and glared at the enemy. He was angry, but he didn't cry, his fists clenched. After a while, the enemy beat Sun Ming's parents all over his body, and let Sun Ming witness all these cruel methods. Sun Ming's parents were mighty and unyielding in front of the invaders, and they would never reveal the slightest secret of the Eighth Route Army's hidden grain. The enemy started to attack Sun Ming's parents on the legs and arms, and blood immediately flowed. This extremely strong couple said to their son Sun Ming: "The enemy is to kill his father and mother, and you can't say a word about your son!"

What about the cunning enemy? They immediately changed their faces to a fake smile, coerced and lured Sun Ming, and said, "Tell me quickly, where did your family help the Eighth Route Army and hide the grain?" If you say it, you will let your parents go, and if you don't say it, you will die!

But these invaders will never be able to frighten our brave Chinese teenagers. Sun Ming glared at the enemy and said nothing. The enemy poured pepper water on his parents' wounds again, and the couple clenched their teeth and did not say a word. At this time, Sun Ming was already in his blood, and he scolded those inhumane enemies. At this time, the enemies, who had lost their conscience, raised their bayonets and shouted in a frantic voice, "Die to me!" (Kill!) and Sun Ming and his parents died tragically under the enemy's butcher's knife. Sun Ming was only ten years old that year, and he sacrificed his precious life as a young man! Sun Ming's little hero died honorably at the same age as you!"

Zhang Guangming was in a heavy mood, choking with tears in his eyes, and he saw that the teachers were also rolling tears like his classmates. Everyone couldn't help but have an angry look in their eyes. Teachers and students solemnly immersed themselves in this tragic heroic deed. Zhang Zhishu also taught the children earnestly and seductively: "So our happiness today is not easy to come by, children! You must study hard, and when you grow up in the future, you will serve the motherland and comfort the souls of the heroes and martyrs who have ascended to heaven." You must remember that you must study for the rise of the motherland! Young Pioneers, have you all remembered?"

At this time, the Young Pioneers and students immediately showed a solemn look of respect for the hero, and shouted in unison with a loud voice: "Remember!"

Every year at such an oath-taking meeting of the Young Pioneers, Zhang Guangming will tell some heroic revolutionary stories to inspire the children to work hard.

Sun Wei also whispered to Zhang Zhishu: How can we get those stubborn students and students who don't like to study to study hard? This is a difficult problem that bothers me and the teachers? Zhang Zhishu did not answer, but asked those students who did not want to study in a loud and gentle tone: "I heard that some students love to play but do not like to read, can you tell me why?"

Students who don't like to study have answered:

"Because I'm so stupid, I can't learn anything!" said the other students.

"Children, you must keep in mind one sentence: diligence and simplicity, as long as you are determined to study hard, I believe that you will definitely be able to do it! Which of you has improved? Principal Sun will give a grand prize certificate to whom! I will reward you with a stack of books, a stack of pencils, and a stationery box, do you think you think about it?" When the students who claimed to be stupid heard this, they replied sonorously and forcefully: Yes!

Zhang Guangming came out of the school and walked to the gate, Principal Sun suddenly grabbed Zhang Guangming's arm and said, "Zhang Zhishu, I don't know if I can tell you one more thing?" Zhang Guangming said briskly, if you have something to say, please say it directly. The principal was embarrassed and said, "There are several houses in the school that are leaking, and when it rains, the children can't go to the classroom, so they all go to the teacher's office, and there will be a small crowded place for forty or fifty children to teach." This also affects the work of other teachers, right? I know that the village is in financial difficulties right now, and I have tried to talk to you about it several times, but I haven't said it. But ......"

At this time, Zhang Guangyan had a textbook and a lesson plan in her arms, and walked over in a wheelchair with both hands. Zhang Guangming complained to his sister, why didn't he tell his brother that the school was in danger?

Zhang Guangyan said, I know that the brigade office is also a dangerous building, so I didn't mention this matter to my eldest brother.

Zhang Zhishu held a meeting of the village committee in the temporary small office of the brigade non-stop, and he told the village cadres that he had to demolish the dilapidated houses for the school and build new ones. They all agreed to the secretary's suggestion. Zhang Zhishu also said to Gui Xiaobao, "I'll go to the school to make arrangements first, and you can go and inform the deputy captains of each team to go to the school to demolish the dilapidated houses." The captain agreed.

Zhang Zhishu hurried to the school again and told the principal, I will lead the cadres of the brigade and the deputy captains of each team, as well as the plasterers and carpenters, you lead the teachers, everyone will work together to quickly tear down the dilapidated building and build a new classroom. Principal Sun Wei said happily, "Okay, good."

Zhang Guangming came back from school and immediately held a meeting of the team leaders. Zhang Guangming said to the team leader: "Please remember that you must start sowing sesame seeds from today! no more than seven days at the latest." It is very important to remember this sowing date, early or late, it will affect the sesame harvest!" he solemnly urged the team leaders to act quickly, because after planting sesame seeds, it is time to harvest wheat. The team leaders carried out production in accordance with the instructions of the branch secretary. The reason why the team cadres will never hesitate at all. It was because Zhang Zhishu held a meeting with the cadres of the production teams and said that if the cadres of the team were lazy and procrastinating, he would be removed from his post immediately.

If there is any heavy and tiring farm work in the countryside, then the most sinful work is the work of harvesting wheat. Under the intense sunlight of the hot wave like fire, everyone holds a sickle, sometimes "欻欻死", sometimes "唻唘唔", the strength is different, the degree of rawness and ripeness of the wheat is different, and the sound of cutting the wheat is also different.

In the past few days of wheat harvesting, it has been a sunny day. The people who cut the wheat were burned with fever and fire on the top of their heads. The sweat all over the body soaked the inside and outside of the clothes as if they had been drenched in heavy rain, and the wet clothes were very uncomfortable on the body.

The cadres and educated youths from the city have been cutting wheat with Zhang Guangming in the experimental base for the past few days.

Li Xuehua and Wu Baoguo began to waver, saying that they could no longer hold on, and asked to leave Muyehua Village and ask to be transferred back to the provincial capital. Wang Xiaoshuang was very anxious, because his beloved girlfriend was leaving here, and he was trying to persuade him. Li Dali preemptively said: "Peasant friends can bear it, why can't you two persevere?"

The two of them said in unison, "How can you compare us to them?"

Li Xuehua said again: "The two of us follow the poor peasants here, and they are not people of the same grade at all. The peasants are the lowest people, and all of us six educated youths are children born into noble cadre families.

Zhang Guangming hurriedly persuaded: "All those who have lofty aspirations are all retrograde and unafraid of difficulties; all noble and brilliant gold ornaments can only be tempered into gold after passing the test of fire!" Zhang Guangming made an urgent statement in order to retain these two educated youths, and he also said, "Without the peasants' hard work of persisting in their hands and feet for years and months, where would the people in the city get food and clothing? We are all people of the world, and there is no distinction between noble and lowly and inferior and inferior!"

Ma Xiaomei also said: "You have to learn to respect the hard-working and kind working people, my old classmate!" Li Xuehua opened her mouth to refute, but she couldn't think of any appropriate and powerful words. Her face was dark, her face was bitter, her lips were pouting, she felt that she was exhausted, and she lowered her arrogant and arrogant head, speechless.

The higher-level cadres all knew that Li Xuehua's father and Wu Baoguo's father were both big leaders, and the higher-level leaders present were responsible for coordinating the contradictions between the intellectuals and the cadres and the masses. So, they hurriedly carried out mediation and persuasion. In order to ease the atmosphere, Zhang Guangming spoke a lot of good things to the two educated youths in a gentle manner, and also talked about the many advantages of the countryside. Li Xuehua and Wu Baoguo's thinking began to change. Zhang Guangming also told the story of the people of Linxian County who were not afraid of thousands of difficulties and dangers and realized the dream of water diversion.

Only then did these two intellectuals make up their minds and say: "We want to stay and dedicate our youth and enthusiasm to the great development of Muyehua Village!"
