Chapter 217 Open
By July, the weather had started to get hot and humid.
Ning Yuan and his friends started enjoying it early on.
Zhong Yuemin hated hot weather the most, so as soon as the temperature rose, he called a group of buddies, climbed directly onto the roof in the backyard, and built a pergola frame with hemp ropes and long bamboo poles.
A large rolled mat was placed on top of the frame and tied tightly with hemp ropes all around.
This pergola directly covers most of the backyard.
Zhong Yuemin, Fatty Fan, Zou Cheng and several others also gradually settled down in Ningyuan.
As soon as Fatty Fan arrived, the yard completely became his kitchen.
There’s nothing I can do, this guy just likes to eat and drink!
The fat man roasted all the pork and mutton that Ning Yuan and his friends had stored in the lower room into skewers.
A group of people sleep until almost noon every day.
After getting up and cleaning up, I just thought about eating. There was no other way, our Brother Ning is too powerful.
After several auctions, Ning Yuan’s space had more than fifty more stacks of Great Unity.
This was the result of him picking out many fine items he had obtained from Jin Changqing.
So, with so much money, Ning Yuan not only secretly bought two large courtyard houses, but also spent the rest of the money on food and drink.
Grilled meat, grilled potatoes, grilled beans, etc., as long as it is edible, they will find ways to cook it.
There is no need to worry about alcohol, as Ningyuan has already stockpiled more than ten boxes of Erguotou.
As for beer, Shuanghesheng Brewery officially started production in Yanjiao two years ago.
Yes, the earliest brewery in the old city was called Shuanghesheng, not the current Yanjing.
This brewery was founded in 1915. It is not only the first brewery in Beijing, but also the first brewery in my country.
Yuquanshan beer and sweet beer are their main products.
After Ning Yuan took a group of friends to Shuanghesheng Brewery twice, beer freedom was achieved directly from then on.
Sitting under the pergola, eating barbecue and drinking beer, this is a day I wouldn’t trade even for a god.
However, no matter how comfortable life is, there are always troubles.
The troubles that these people are worried about come from the street office.
The recent positive feedback from the educated youth who went to the countryside has been overwhelming. (We don't know if it's true or not, after all, it wasn't long ago that the pigs were as fat as elephants and the yield per mu reached 20,000 catties. Who knows how they report it?)
Therefore, the higher-ups believed it and really thought this strategy was extremely wise!
(To be honest, the teacher really has a strategic vision for development. The educated youth went to the countryside for more than ten years and made great contributions to eliminating illiteracy among the grassroots people in our country!)
At recent conferences, warm praise was given to regional comrades who successfully completed the target tasks of encouraging educated youth to go to the countryside.
It directly inspired the ambitions of these street office staff.
As long as there are young people in the house, they will go three times a day to encourage and persuade them.
The more young people in their area sign up to go to the countryside, the more likely they will be the ones to be praised at the next conference.
Yes, it is so absurd, just for a few sentences, "Comrade XX has made outstanding contributions to our (name of the group) work, comrades should give him warm applause and take him as a role model!"
They sent those young people who knew nothing directly to a desolate frontier area where they were unfamiliar with the place.
Some people may survive the difficult environment, grow quickly and stand out, for example, Xian Dada, (dog head save your life)!
But more people simply cannot adapt.
The local villagers' attitude towards these educated youth was not as warm and welcoming as advertised.
After all, everyone knows that one more person means one more mouth to feed!
There is only so much food in the fields, and they are already unable to eat enough. With so many young people from the city who are not good at anything, their lives become even more difficult.
Therefore, villagers in many places did not want these educated youth at all.
But after all, it is Zheng Zhi's mission, and we have to overcome difficulties and go on!
This also explains why, in the TV series, after Zhong Yuemin and his friends arrived in the countryside, the entire village had no good attitude towards them, the educated youth.
Not to mention withholding half of their food rations, this is already a conservative approach.
If it weren't for this restrained writing style, would it have passed the review?
Ning Yuan knew from the beginning the situation he would face after actually going to the countryside.
That’s why we always put food storage first.
What is the real situation of going to the countryside that has not been recorded?
Let me tell you some data, you can experience it yourself!
Since the proposal of sending educated youth to the countryside to participate in construction was put forward in 56, the educated youth returned to their hometowns in 78.
There are records, take a look, there are records of the number of people who went to the countryside, which is about 17 million young people.
In the end, less than one-third of them successfully returned home!
Secondly, according to records, the number of deaths was approximately 26,000.
There are probably more than 600,000 people whose records have disappeared, or there is no record at all, as if they have never been to this world.
Well, in addition, the key point is the records. According to government statistics, there are records of more than 16,000 female educated youth who were raped and molested!
This reminds me of the conversation between Chiang Kai-shek and Li Peiji in "1942".
"How many people died in Henan during this disaster?"
"Government statistics: one thousand and sixty-two people!"
"What about the reality?"
"About, about three million people!!"
I can’t say it! There’s no way to say it!
Ning Yuan's yard has been visited countless times by the street office.
In their eyes, such a large group of young people are indicators, and their achievements are praised in conferences time and time again!
Therefore, especially after July, the staff from the street office came to encourage and persuade people almost every day.
Ning Yuan pushed back again and again.
Deduct food coupons? Go ahead and deduct them! Do you think I care about your meager income?
Xiaozhi is moved by emotion and moved by reason?
Is it okay to tell me?
I also support the teacher's proposal. I can support it, but you can't ask me to risk my life and then exchange it for your progress!
Therefore, the young people in this large courtyard became known far and wide for their stubbornness.
It is certain that you will be targeted.
Li Yuanchao, Li Yanjun, and He Xiaodong all had adults at home who were still alive, so they were sent to join the army.
Groups of buddies left the city, and Ning Yuan and his friends would go to Lao Mo's every now and then to get together with these buddies and have a farewell drink.
Until Zhang Haiyang was also ordered by his father to leave the army.
Ning Yuan's small group, which was regarded as a stubborn rock by the street office and even the entire Haidian District Youth League Office, finally began to disintegrate from within!
(There are two more chapters in the afternoon! Brothers, please support us with some small gifts for love! The plot is progressing!)
