Chapter 147 Commune Meeting
Chapter 147 Commune Meeting
Today, Hao Jing has short hair, wears a plaid shirt and suit pants, and wears black-framed glasses, and looks quite serious.
Gu Mingyue pretended to be helpless and explained, "I'm sorry, you know, I was an introvert in elementary school and didn't socialize with people much. I really didn't think of it for a moment, but I remember you. You often wore pigtails. To be honest, I was really envious of you for getting along so well with your classmates at that time."
When Gu Mingyue wants to praise someone, except for the experienced ones, she usually uses "hands-on" to deal with young men and women.
It was obvious that the original owner didn't like playing with unhygienic people, after she explained it this way.
Hao Jing's already vague impression was distorted, and she seemed to really remember in her mind that it was Gu Mingyue who was not talkative.
Completely forgot that she didn't have braids when she went to school.
But sometimes, people's memories often change with the passage of time and the guidance of people around them, depending on what they think in their hearts.
Hao Jing's inner attitude towards Gu Mingyue is a mixture of envy and jealousy.
In my memory, she has always been glamorous, with good academic performance, and all the teachers like her very much.
Especially after she was admitted to university, everyone felt that she had a bright future and that she was no longer the same kind of person as them.
Who would have thought that the next time I heard the name Gu Mingyue, it would be accompanied by so many rumors.
What was most surprising was that she dropped out of school and returned to the countryside to raise her nephew.
Many people laughed at her for being stupid, and to be honest, Hao Jing felt the same way.
Yet, he had to admit that he felt secretly proud.
I feel that what’s the point of getting into university? I’m still a rural person like them.
She can't even catch up with her as a primary school teacher, who has a stable job and a guaranteed income.
But later she heard that Gu Mingyue not only became the village party secretary, but also appeared in the newspaper. She also read the story he wrote, which was very touching.
Her heart couldn't help but become complicated, accompanied by a feeling of powerlessness. Why was Gu Mingyue still so outstanding even after falling into such a low point? She, who was gloating over other people's misfortunes, seemed like a clown.
Gu Mingyue in front of her spoke to her so casually, which made her feel even more ashamed.
He said awkwardly, "I'm not as good as you say. At that time, my family always said I was a naughty boy."
Although she didn't know why the other party felt uncomfortable, since the other party was Xiao Shitou's class teacher, Gu Mingyue naturally had to maintain this relationship.
Then he said, "There were not many girls going to school at that time. You have such a cheerful personality, so your family must love you very much."
"It's... it's OK. My mother has four sons and I'm the only girl. My family really dotes on me."
"See, I told you. But I never expected that someone as lively as you would choose the most rigorous profession."
Hao Jing said shyly, "At first, my family members helped me with the advice, but later I gradually became interested in it. Especially when I saw the children gradually become sensible, learn a lot of knowledge, and have a light in their eyes, I felt a sense of accomplishment."
The love in the other person's eyes made Gu Mingyue say sincerely, "It is said that the happiest thing in the world is to have someone who suits you and likes you at the same time. This means you are a lucky person."
Hao Jing looks a little old-fashioned with her glasses, but when she smiles she reveals her childish side.
"Wow, cultured people are different. That's very well said."
Gu Mingyue smiled and said, "I am just a story writer. My writing skills are far from good. I can't be considered a cultured person."
Seeing that most of the students had gone in, she didn't want to waste time, so she said, "My children will be left to Teacher Hao from now on. If you have any questions, don't worry, just tell me directly and I will discipline them."
Hao Jing also knew that it was getting late, but she enjoyed talking to Gu Mingyue. It felt very different.
"Can I come to see you when I'm on vacation?"
Gu Mingyue was stunned for a moment, but quickly responded, "Of course. You are welcome anytime."
As autumn goes and winter comes, time slips away quietly.
Autumn in Northeast China is short to begin with, so without much transition, everyone has already changed from light clothing to padded jackets.
The busy autumn harvest finally came to an end, but before the grain was distributed, many people came to the village to borrow grain.
Including Gu Mingyue, she encountered several groups of so-called relatives with whom she had not had any contact for seven or eight hundred years.
For this purpose, Gu Mingwei specially convened a villagers' meeting.
We sternly warn everyone to hold on to the food in their hands, otherwise they will not be able to get it back and the village office will never cover them.
During this period, the stories contributed by Gu Mingyue could no longer occupy the main pages.
Nowadays, newspapers often report which commune has an output of more than 10,000 catties per mu, or even a commune with an output of more than 100,000 catties per mu, ranking first in the world.
In order to achieve high productivity and gain recognition from above, cadres at all levels turn a blind eye even when there are doubts, and instead compete with and brag about each other.
This is the case with Wang Bichang.
Before paying the public grain tax, an emergency meeting of village cadres was convened to discuss the amount of grain to be paid.
According to him, it means reporting a high output. Even if it is not that much, it does not matter. As long as the commune is famous, it will have a way to deal with the inspection from above.
Gu Mingyue didn't believe it at all, the wool comes from the sheep.
Suppose Gujia Village produces 2,000 catties per mu, but reports 10,000 catties. The difference can only be made up by themselves.
If it is not enough, they will forcibly collect it. It is possible that all the grain left for seed in the village will be taken away. There is precedent for this.
The leaders of the commune don’t care whether the farmers have enough to eat.
Only care about your own political achievements and don't fall behind others.
When she heard that some villages reported a production of 10,000 jin, Gu Mingyue was glad that it was she who came to the meeting. Even if she did not cooperate, Wang Bichang would not dare to do anything to her.
If he were the eldest brother, he would definitely not be willing to sacrifice everyone's interests to preserve his reputation as the village chief.
The result is predictable, and parting on bad terms is the least that can be done.
Thinking of this, Gu Mingyue shouted loudly, "Gujia Village, 500 kilograms."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an instant of complete silence.
The head of Datian Village was the first to jump out and sarcastically said, "They say that young people are ignorant. I thought college students would know something, but I didn't expect that they are still ignorant of human affairs."
This is quite impolite.
Gu Mingyue naturally wouldn't indulge him, and directly retorted, "It is said that if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. I wondered why the family of the former grandfather who severed ties was so rampant, it seems that it is the root. Alas, I was indeed young and impetuous. At that time, I was too anxious to send those scumbags to prison. I should have carefully investigated whether there were any accomplices or umbrellas behind them. Village Chief Qi, I heard that everyone in your Datian Village is related to each other. Do you have any improper relationship with Qi Dashan's family?"
"You little yellow-haired girl, stop talking nonsense here. I won't be scared by you."
Gu Mingyue pretended to be surprised. "Oh, Village Chief Qi is anxious. Could it be that what I said was right? When I pointed out that Malanhua was having an affair, you were like this. You wouldn't be with her...Oh my God..."
Saying half and leaving the other half is most likely to arouse people's imagination. Everyone present looked at Village Chief Qi secretly.
