The next morning, when the first work bell rang, everyone got out of their beds and were extremely excited after washing up.

This excitement lasted until they arrived at the construction site after breakfast. Even though there were a few mosquitoes still buzzing around them, they were still excited because they knew that these mosquitoes would be swatted by the team leader soon.

As expected, when the team leader stepped onto the stage where he usually gave speeches, the first thing he said was not how to arrange the work, nor were they the usual clichés to motivate the team members.

Instead, he emphasized that the atmosphere in the brigade had recently become increasingly corrupt, with some unrealistic people dreaming up unrealistic dreams. He singled out several individuals who were particularly obvious and criticized them, and punished them by sending them to carry manure.

Finally, he declared that no one would be allowed to interfere with the educated youth's work. He also addressed the educated youth's concerns: If they could return to the city in a year or two, what would happen to the marriages you had facilitated? Do you know?

After saying all this, he finally emphasized, "I don't care what you have in mind. I'm going to say this today. No matter what methods you use to treat the newly arrived educated youth, if I find out, I will punish you severely.

The educated youth went to the countryside to support rural construction, and they really did not cause trouble while there, and they worked diligently. They had only been there for a few weeks, but they had already earned so many centimeters.

Sometimes they are more capable than us rural men. Many of the male educated youth can get a full centimeter, and the female educated youth can get seven or eight centimeters, which is almost the same as the children who grew up in the countryside like us.

But look at yourselves. You always cause trouble for others. Either you introduce them to potential partners in front of them, or you say bad things about them behind their backs.

What's going on? You haven't done enough work, yet you still have the time to bother with these trivial matters. If I find out who is gossiping and pulling strings behind your back again, I will punish you by making you carry manure for a few months to make you feel the real labor.

I mean what I say. If you do or say these things, don't think there is an impenetrable wall in the world. If I find out, you will suffer the consequences."

After the captain's warning, the old lady who had just been around Xia Zhiyan and the others quickly moved away from them.

The country girls surrounding the male educated youth also quickly fled the scene. They were also blushing after hearing the team leader's blunt words.

Seeing the educated youth who had become close to him cheering with joy, after distributing the living materials, the team leader specifically instructed his wife to take good care of those educated youths and then rushed to the town to report the situation.

Today's division of labor also assigned them to adjacent places so that they could take care of each other. Moreover, the aunties and grannies they were assigned to were all easy to get along with and had a very good impression of them.

Therefore, there was no need to trouble the captain's wife for special care today. Instead, the captain's wife heard some unpleasant noises while working on the other side, so she caught the person and scolded him harshly.

She also memorized the names of those women and planned to tell her husband when he came back, asking him to deal with these ruffians first and let the team members take a good look at her. Men are not just empty talkers.

In this way, this morning's work went through without any danger. This morning's work was also the happiest morning they had after being harassed. After all, they were surrounded by laughter and joy, without so many bad people and bad things, and those unpleasant words.

So when Bai Zhiqing went back to cook, she did not make coarse grain porridge for the first time, but steamed white flour steamed buns instead, saying that it was to celebrate their escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

After finishing their meal, they prepared for a happy lunch break, while the team leader in the town met with the commune leader and handed the document to the commune leader.

After seeing such detailed and authentic information, the commune leaders were so excited that they patted Captain Zhou on the shoulder several times and praised him:

"You're quite good, young man. You were able to get such good information. You didn't secretly keep it for yourself to benefit your own team, but instead brought it directly to the commune. That's quite a big deal. Keep up the good work. I will definitely give you a generous reward."

Captain Zhou at this moment no longer had the arrogance he had this morning. Instead, he smiled shyly and explained:

"That's not the information I got. If I had the ability to get such good information, why would I still be the team leader? I could just come to the company and work with the leaders.

This was given to me by the newly sent educated youth from our brigade. Let me tell you, leader, those educated youth are all good ones. They are very active in their work and their progress is not slow at all. They are on par with the children in our brigade.

They didn't hide anything and often gave fruit candies to the kids in our brigade. This group of educated youth said they were going to the countryside to build and support the rural areas, and I really believed it.

They were nothing like the educated youth of the past, who were fussy and pretentious. These educated youth brought everything they had to the brigade, taking whatever they knew.

The information in my hand was found with great difficulty by the youngest educated youth in our area after he went to the countryside and truly felt the hardships of rural life. He used his family connections and went through great pains to find the information. After getting the information, the young educated youth immediately gave it to me without expecting anything in return.

Leaders, we must reward those educated youth. This will not only encourage them, but also motivate the rest of the educated youth to work hard to build the countryside."

The commune leader looked at the man who usually had nothing to say to each other, but today he spoke so much to the newly arrived educated youth because of this information, and every word he said was to help them. So he asked curiously:

"I say, Old Zhou, you're not usually like this. What kind of magic potion did those educated youth put into you that makes you praise him so much in just a few words?"

Captain Zhou said excitedly: "Oh, what kind of magic potion can I be fed? If it was always like this before coming here in the past, how happy would I be?

I'm telling the truth about these educated youth. They all worked diligently. And just look at the information in your hand. Those who can get this kind of information must have good family conditions.

They clearly had the option of not going to the countryside, but they still chose to go there to support rural development. You can imagine how ambitious they are.”

The leader looked at the information in his hand and the old partner in front of him, smiled and patted Captain Zhou on the shoulder and said:

"Okay, I get it. I'll definitely give out the rewards when the time comes, including the educated youth in your team, and your brigade will definitely be recognized as the advanced brigade. Don't worry, the most important thing now is to get going. Let's have a meeting, copy down this information, and distribute some to each brigade."

That's it. While others were having lunch, the leaders of the town's commune held meetings to make decisions. Today's meeting was hosted on a temporary basis, and many team leaders were not present, so the meeting was relatively short. After deciding to maximize the use of this information, the meeting was adjourned.

A meeting was held to reward the educated youth who contributed information. It was decided to reward each male and female educated youth with a certificate of merit, as well as a banner for the entire educated youth group. The young educated youth who contributed information was rewarded 50 yuan. The Xiangyang Production Brigade was also awarded the title of advanced production brigade and received corresponding rewards from the advanced production brigade.

The team leader who received these rewards put the money in his pocket with a smile, and prepared to return to his team with the certificate and banner. However, the commune leader was curious about the educated youth who were praised so enthusiastically by his companions, so he said that he decided to present the banners and certificates himself, and he could also take the rewards for the advanced production team back with him.

Captain Zhou was also very happy that he could ride in a car instead of riding a bicycle. He tied his bicycle to the top of the car and followed the company leader's car back to the team.
