When Liu Mei said that Xue Xiang realized that these educated youth did not receive 31 kilograms of grain per month at all, but each person only had 16 kilograms of grain per month. As the saying goes: Half a young man, I will eat poorly. These educated youths are at the age of eighteen or nineteen. No one has the amazing appetite. They have to tighten their belts for one kilogram of grain every day, but only half of them are left, that is, five kilograms of grain. It would be strange if they don’t get hungry.

Xue Xiang was furious and asked Li Yongjun who usually distributed food for educated youth. After asking, he found out that Deputy Captain Tieyong, who ran away with the Cai father and son, was in charge. At this moment, Tieyong ran away. Xue Xiang had to call the warehouse manager Lao Wang and asked. He realized that not only the food for educated youth was deducted, but the ratings given by the members of the cost-effective work hours were generally low. There was a strange situation where the team had not been distributed and the commune's public grain was still owed.

Where did that much grain go? Xue Xiang was holding this question in his heart, but he ordered: "Captain Li, take Lao Wang to count the grain in the warehouse and make up for me the grain that I owe over the years to educated youth. The lonely, widowed, old and weak in the village are also evenly enough, and the rest are divided by the heads of the people."

As soon as Xue Xiang finished speaking, there was a huge uproar around him. If it weren't for the prestige accumulated by beating Cai Guoqing, banning Cai Gaoli, and massacre of the Great Snake, they would have been rushing to curse. Even at this moment, everyone just screamed and wondered whether the captain from the city was really reliable. This kind of food will be very useful in two months. After eating it, what will be planted in two months? Wouldn't the autumn harvest be eliminated?

Xue Xiang Shuangsheng stopped the noise and said, "Comrades, please rest assured, I know what I know about growing grains and will never miss the farming season. But now, eating is our top priority in Kaoshantun. What era is this? Kaoshantun actually fainted from the educated youth who came to support us. It is embarrassing to say it out. Even if we don't want to eat enough for these educated youths, we have to eat it ourselves, so we will divide it first. If I can't grow grains, you can eat me."

Xue Xiang's last words were very funny, and everyone was happy to hear it. It was really a rare time for the captain who scolded him and beat him when he started. Since the captain said he was responsible, who would not eat enough food, and who would have a brain problem.

Xue Xiangzi would not deceive the world, and since he entered the village, he was thinking about the issue of eating among the members. Later generations said: "When eating is two levels, how could he forget the "peace" of the whole hybrid rice in the future? Xue Xiang knew that Yuan Longping might be engaged in hybrid rice cultivation and promotion in the neighboring province. His mind was already active: In this Jianghan Province, let's take the lead in relying on Shantun.

Xue Xiang waved his hand. Li Yongjun led everyone there. Several educated youth heard about the delivery of food, their eyes were green and they were about to run out, but Xue Xiang waved his hand and stopped him. He said that if he had something to tell them, the food would be sent to them.

The educated youth have always been in awe of this captain who is similar to his age. They respected him because of this captain who saved him and others in a crisis. They feared that the captain said, "I kept silent, and was cruel and ruthless, and treated human life like a mustard. How could I not be afraid of waiting for others?

Xue Xiang stopped the educated youths and saw that they stood in a row. They seemed to be under review, and waved their hands to let them sit. However, these educated youths were still very reserved, still not talking, but their stomachs kept croaking. Xue Xiang smiled and asked Kang Tong to take the half-frozen basket of fried dough sticks and give them to the educated youths.

When the educated youth saw the golden drizzle of oil, they could not hold back, and they were not at all restrained. They took one by one like a hungry tiger, and they stuffed it into their mouths. Xue Xiang saw that they were in a mess and got up to pour water for everyone. After the educated youth forced their sacrifices to the Wudian Temple, they wiped their lips. They remembered that they were actually served by the captain and were at a loss.

Xue Xiang already knew everyone's names now, and there were some celebrities from a TV series in his previous life, but his personalities were so different that they almost disappeared. The Zhong Yuemin, who was frozen to death and starved to death, had a young personality living on the road, had a weak scholar in front of him, and his face turned red with embarrassment.

Xue Xiang knew that no matter how polite he was, it would be of no effect, so he simply got to the point: "You might as well stop doing farm work. The leader said that you came down to receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants. After two years of education, I think it's almost done. As the saying goes, good steel is used on the edge. You are all cultural people, so how about you use your specialties and temporarily serve as teachers for the children in Koshantun?"

Xue Xiang has been going to the countryside for some time, and has always been curious about why all the brigades in the commune have primary schools, so why there is no one in Kuoshantun. Han Donglin gave the answer, saying yes, there were also those that were built in the south slope. Later, the members of the brigade could not even have enough food, let alone burdening children's schooling and teachers' lives. Therefore, Xue Xiang from Kuoshantun did not retreat.

Xue Xiang didn't have time to report it. When the county's education department approved the official documents and followed the steps, it would have to wait until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month. It would be better to organize the school by himself. The eight educated youth in front of him were ready-made teachers.

After hearing Xue Xiang's words, the educated youth fell silent collectively. It was not that everyone was a naughty person, willing to do farm work, and not willing to teach students. It was really because everyone was afraid that once they became this teacher, their household registration would be difficult, and they would return to the city. However, many educated youth friends who had already returned to the city had written letters and knew that the hard days were coming to an end.

Seeing everyone's faces hesitated, Xue Xiang wondered: This is a good thing, why are you still pushing and hindering? Only by putting yourself in your shoes and thinking about it again can you understand everyone's entanglement. At this moment, Xue Xiang patted his chest and promised that he would just teach the children temporarily for a few months. In a few months, he would report and ask the superiors to send a formal teacher.

After Xue Xiang's assurance, everyone smiled happily and was discussing their teacher's career. The food was delivered. Everyone took the food and then the fire rose. Seeing that the fry was so anxious that the fried dough sticks just now were just stuffed between their teeth.

After discussing the teacher's issue, Xue Xiang said hello and went out. He had a lot of things today. Xue Xiang went straight to the office and greeted the correspondent Xiao Sun, informing the captains of each team to come to the office for a meeting. He had not finished smoking a cigarette, and the captains of the nine teams arrived. It turned out that everyone was leading the members of each team in the warehouse not far away to share the food. Therefore, Xiao Sun gathered everyone together as soon as he left.

After everyone sat down, Xue Xiang went straight in and told the story of building the school. After hearing this, everyone praised it. The kids didn't learn, so any parent was not anxious. Although they were mountain people, they looked down on these educated youth on weekdays. When criticizing and fighting, they also shouted "Down with the stinky old nine", but they still thought that scholars were superior.

"Captain, let the children study, we are willing to do it. We don't need to rebuild the school building. Although the old school on the south slope is a little old and broken, it can be used barely. Besides, there is no place to look for the building materials for the newly built school building, right? I think it's better to just put it." Peng Chun, who spoke. He smoked the cigarette handed by Xue Xiang. He knew that the captain was actually easy to talk to. He was not as awe of Xue Xiang as others.

"No, the century-old plan is based on education. How can you be careless? I went to see the school building on the south slope. Can it be called a school? Mud walls, thatched roofs, small and short, how can the children study well in that environment? I asked you to come, not to ask you to give your opinions, but you will do whatever I say." Xue Xiang put on Qiu Ba again, and everyone dared not say much.

After sweeping away all the people, Xue Xiang began to arrange work. The location of the new school building was located in the northwest of the threshing farm, with the shady and sunny place. It was suitable for the energetic children. After setting up the location, Xue Xiang asked the team leader to return to the team to summon the carpenters and the bricklayers to gather here. In addition, he asked all the laborers to stop the work at hand and concentrate all their efforts to build the school building as soon as possible.

Xue Xiang was not good at doing anything else, but he was first-class in overall management. With his order, the production brigade of Kuoshantun immediately started to move. The 20th and 30-year-old bricklayers were trapped in the office and started designs and plans that he had never tried before. He divided the two thousand young laborers into three groups, one into the mountains to log wood, and prepared beams and wood; one followed Li Yongjun and went straight to the Hongfeng brick and tile factory in the club. He ordered that even if he carried the shoulders and carried the bricks and tiles into Kuoshantun; the last group prepared food and did such heavy physical work, how could the team ignore the food?

A hundred beams and wood were transported out of the mountain in two or three hours; because the second slope locked the traffic, and the vehicles needed to be carried there, so the people were all young men. Everyone transported the bricks and tiles from the second slope to the cattle and carriage behind the second slope. Although it was difficult, nearly five hundred laborers were mad. Tens of thousands of bricks and tiles were transported at meal time.

The main dish at noon was stewed in a mess. A pig mixed with countless vegetables and stewed more than a dozen pots. The pork was not produced in our town, and the land of the mountain village was small and there was little grain. I didn’t have enough food to eat, so I could not afford to raise pigs. I bought it from the neighboring Hongmiao Village. I ate a bunch of members who had not seen meat for many years and loosened their belts, and I ate more than a dozen big pots like washing.

After dinner, everyone did not rest, and just worked hard with the bricks and wood. At this moment, the strong laborers are all versatile, and there are almost no ones who can do. Such versatility is not a talent, but a force. I think it is true that you are a poor person who doesn’t learn by yourself. Can you still afford to pay and hire someone?

Two thousand people, working together, and with complete materials, they wanted to build a school building that only needs two or three hundred children to attend. The speed was amazing. Everyone burned thatch, cut down evil branches, flattened the land, built red bricks, stacked huge trees, mud and sand, and sweat flew. The crescent moon was born, a red brick and red tiles, square and flat, and the windows were clear. Someone cheered, and thousands of people cheered together. In an instant, towels swayed and straw hats hovered. The newly built school building became a sea of ​​joy.

Xue Xiang looked at the ocean in front of him, and a sense of pride arose, which made his soul tremble. He even had an epiphany: the greatest power is not the shouting of one person or the promise of a hundred people; nor is it the anger of one person, the terror of the world; but in front of him, written on the innocent smiling faces of the dolls, now in the deep patterns on the old farmer's forehead, on the swaying towel, in the hovering straw hat, in the boundless spring breeze and bright moon...

Xue Xiang closed his eyes and came to listen to the cheers. When he was about to travel to the North Sea, he was dragged by the good man Su Shunmin to the account book and interrupted it with a very vulgar thing.
