Chapter 6 The Brigade Leader and the Educated Youth Settlement
Thanks to the protagonists' halo, Yun Shu and her group were assigned to Fengsheng Brigade, a well-known wealthy brigade in the entire county.
The most immediately noticeable difference was that the tractor that came from Fengsheng Brigade to pick up the educated youth stood out conspicuously among the oxcarts.
At this time, the busy farming season had not yet officially begun, so tractors were not an essential resource. However, at a time when the rural people were somewhat resistant to educated youth, the fact that Fengsheng Brigade was able to send tractors to pick them up was already a sign of great sincerity and treatment.
At least they don't have to walk dozens of miles on foot, carrying big bags and small packages, exhausted when they go to the countryside.
Yang Yue did not cause any inappropriate trouble, so after the team leader Xie Jingquan verified their identities and names, the group of six boarded the tractor amidst the envious gazes of the other educated youth.
The tractor's trailer was very large, but there were absolutely no seats. The only two protrusions were above the wheels, and the bumps were so severe that for lighter people, it was like being launched from a catapult, and they could easily be thrown out.
Therefore, even though the male educated youths were modest, Yun Shu and Lin Jing Shu did not sit down. Instead, they stood forward and held tightly to the railing in front of the truck bed to prevent themselves from being thrown out.
The male educated youth followed suit and stood quite steadily. Only Yang Yue, who thought she was clever and occupied a seat on one side, was jolted around by the rural dirt road full of potholes and ended up with several bruises on her body.
……
The captain, who had been driving silently in front, had seen everything that was happening behind him. With a quick glance, he could roughly tell whether the relationships between these new educated youths were good or bad, and... who was smarter.
It's hard to say which of these educated youths is good or bad, and Xie Jingquan doesn't care about that. He just needs to make sure that these people don't hinder the progress of their Fengsheng Brigade.
Xie Jingquan's ability to serve as the brigade commander of Fengsheng Brigade for so many years, maintaining popular support and earning the respect of all, demonstrates his exceptional vision and skill. He himself was educated, and his three sons were also well-educated: one became a soldier, another a city worker, and his eldest son served as the brigade's militia captain. His prestige was unmatched throughout the entire Fengsheng Brigade.
He required the village team members not to ostracize or bully the educated youth, and to treat them equally. They were given the same amount of work and the same work points. Even for a respectable and easy job like being a primary school teacher in the brigade, he allowed the educated youth to apply for the position. Whoever was capable could take it. He had no intention of giving all the jobs to the villagers as welfare, regardless of their ability.
However, this was in contrast to his strict management of the educated youth in other aspects as well.
Character issues are unavoidable, and the brigade leader handles minor matters of laziness and shirking responsibility impartially, too lazy to argue about them.
You reap what you sow; if you're going to go hungry, then go hungry. No one will be allowed to take advantage of you. When the educated youth went up the mountain to gather wild game like pheasants and rabbits, they weren't required to share the spoils with the villagers—except for larger animals like wild boars, of course.
Regardless of gender, it was fine for educated youth to marry and form families with villagers. However, if a male educated youth deceived the feelings of a village girl, or even acted like a hooligan and tried to shirk responsibility, or if a female educated youth strung up a young man and tried to take advantage of him, taking his money and then trying to distance herself from him, then Brigade Leader Xie would not tolerate it. He would report all such cases to the educated youth office for disciplinary action, and in serious cases, the young youth would be sent to a farm for labor reform.
His incorruptible character earned him immense prestige in the Fengsheng Brigade, and few dared to cause trouble under his nose.
In the original story, the second-rate thug from Fengsheng Brigade married Yang Yue after being caught in the act. For the sake of their reputation and future, the two of them stubbornly refused to plot against the female lead Lin Jingshu and the male lead Jiang Xiucheng. It was only because the two of them were in love that the second-rate thug and Yang Yue were able to save their lives.
Otherwise... the brigade leader might actually do something like sending those two scoundrels, Erlizi and Yang Yue, to the police station to be punished, since at this time, conduct issues were no small matter, especially since it involved educated youth.
Of course, the educated youth also liked this kind of brigade leader to a large extent, since fairness and justice were exactly what they needed most.
Because it wasn't like there weren't other brigades that were xenophobic, with brigade leaders leading the suppression of educated youth.
Ultimately, in this era, the prevailing ideology was to keep the benefits within the family. No matter how much the educated youth did, the villagers and commune members felt that they were taking away their share. It was not uncommon for female educated youth to be bullied by hooligans in the countryside without being able to seek justice, and there were also cases where male educated youth were schemed against and forced to marry village girls.
However, Yun Shu still had some idea about her life in Fengsheng Brigade under Xie Jingquan's command over the past two years. In addition to the descriptions in the book, her brief contact with him also gave her a clear understanding of what kind of code of conduct and attitude towards others she should follow in the next two years.
……
The brigade leader of Fengsheng Brigade is surnamed Xie, and the majority of people in the village are also surnamed Xie. Xie is the most common surname in Fengsheng Brigade, and the traces of clan society are very strong.
The second most common surname is Lin, and the head of the family is the deputy captain of the Fengsheng Brigade. However, the two families don't have any conflicts; on the contrary, they get along very well. This is because Deputy Captain Lin's daughter is the captain's daughter-in-law.
Yun Shu had a good impression of the brigade leader and was also looking forward to living there for the next two years. Her hometown in her previous life was also in Northeast China. Unfortunately, she left her hometown with her parents when she was very young. So, to put it bluntly, she actually longed for the hardships her parents had endured and for her hometown.

Before the tractor jolted everyone to their deaths, after a journey of nearly an hour, the group finally arrived at Fengsheng Brigade.
The location of the educated youth settlement was somewhat remote, on the edge of the production brigade, so the brigade leader drove through the entire village and took them directly to their destination.
Along the way, villagers kept greeting the brigade leader. The tractor rumbled loudly, and Yun Shu and the others couldn't hear it very clearly. They only saw the brigade leader laughing and cursing with these people a few times.
Upon arriving at the destination, Yun Shu saw the educated youth settlement she had only ever seen described in books. Surprisingly, it was much better than she had imagined.
The educated youth settlement was quite large. The outer perimeter of the fenced courtyard consisted of private plots planted with cabbages and radishes, as well as a well and two outhouses in the corners. Inside the courtyard were three houses, forming a traditional courtyard house. However, the tall main house in the center looked quite old, unlike the shorter houses on either side, which were newer and had been converted into small single rooms.
After parking the tractor, seeing that Yun Shu and the others had also taken down their luggage, the captain stepped forward to introduce them, a pipe dangling from his mouth.
"There are large communal sleeping areas on both sides of the main house. Ten people can live in one room. There are three beds left in the male educated youth's room and four beds left in the female educated youth's room. Two of the female educated youth married young men from the village and moved out."
"The advantage of this main house is that it doesn't cost money, because it was originally the place where the educated youth office and the team arranged to settle the educated youth. Moreover, there are stoves in both rooms against the wall, and tables can be placed in the main room, so we can save some firewood when cooking in winter and sleeping at night."
"The downside is that it's a bit cramped, but that's about it... Oh! It's called a private space, and we still have to eat communal meals, but it's lively with lots of people."
Although the captain could tell that Yun Shu and her group came from well-off families, he still gave them a perfunctory introduction.
