1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 68 Didn’t all branch secretaries do this before?
Inside the venue.

Because other people kept looking at Su's father.

He Feihuai naturally knew what these people meant.

So he named it directly.

"Li Guodong, why do you keep blinking? If you have something to say, just say it directly. If you don't say it now, then I will assume that you have no objections. If you cause trouble for me later, don't blame the commune for being ruthless."

He Feihuai finished speaking.

Even though he knew he might be scolded, Li Guodong couldn't help but say it.

"Since you asked me for my opinion, Secretary He, I'll be frank. I understand that you want to train young people, but I don't think it's appropriate to promote them to such a high level right from the start."

"After all, we have other people in our brigade. Everyone here is more qualified than them. Why should we let an outsider be the brigade secretary?"

Li Guodong mainly targeted the two girls arranged by the commune.

He really had no opinion about Su Wenchen. In his eyes, Su Wenchen would sooner or later replace his father and become the captain of their team.

Because at that time, it was quite normal for the son to take over the position of village cadre after the father died.

With Li Guodong taking the lead.

The others immediately agreed. After all, this matter involved their own interests, so everyone naturally tried their best to fight for it.

He Feihuai after everyone finished speaking.

Glancing at Su's father.

"You are the captain of Ping Village, what is your opinion?"

After hearing what He Feihuai said, Su's father seemed to wake up from a dream.

"Hmm? Hmm! Sorry Secretary, I'm getting distracted easily when I'm old. Don't worry about me, just continue your conversation."

After saying that, he started pretending to be dead.

Because it was really difficult for him to express his opinion directly on this matter.

Especially after observing for a while, he found that his son and Xiao Jiang were almost getting along well.

If they object, what if their daughter-in-law runs away? But if they agree directly, the rest of the team will be willing.

So I'd better pretend to be dead.

Although everyone knows it, at least they can get away with it.

And in Su's father's view, it's just a title.

The branch secretary says he is the top leader, but if no one listens to you, what can you command?

This is also why Su's father thinks Lao He is cunning.

Because Xiao Jiang may not be able to command others, but he has a high probability of commanding his younger son, so he can be considered to be indirectly commanding others.

Otherwise, we will really arrange for other people from the commune to come.

Unless the entire team undergoes a collective replacement, there is a high probability that he will not be as good as Lao Gao, because at least Lao Gao is still a member of the team, and everyone has to give him some face.

Father Su just pretended to be dead.

He Feihuai would not force the other party to express his position, because he knew that in the end, to do things in Pingcun Brigade, he still needed the other party's support.

He could only speak to Li Guodong himself.

"Li Guodong, since you mentioned qualifications, then tell me what outstanding contributions you made during your time as the militia captain and what you did for the members."

He Feihuai finished speaking.

Li Guodong was a little dumbfounded. After thinking carefully for a long time, he finally uttered a word.

"I...I lead the brigade's militia on patrol every day."

He Feihuai nodded.

"First of all, this is your job as the militia captain. However, apart from the Gao Zhongwei incident, nothing else happened in your Pingcun Brigade."

"I'll just assume you've done your job well for now."

"Well, if you become the Party branch secretary of Pingcun Brigade, then tell me how you will arrange your work next."

As soon as He Feihuai finished speaking.

Li Guodong suddenly fell into ecstasy, and then his mind went blank.

Me, this is the secretary?

But what about the next work arrangement? How does Lao Gao, the branch secretary, usually do it?
It seems like he is doing nothing, just wandering around with his hands behind his back!
So what should I say now? Li Guodong was scratching his head. He couldn't just say that he would just put his hands behind his back and wander around every day.

After thinking for a long time, he finally said it staggeringly.

"I will work hard to lead the members to improve production and complete the tasks assigned by the commune."

He Feihuai raised his eyebrows.

"It is the responsibility of the team leader and the team leaders to lead the members in production."

"As the Party branch secretary, you are responsible for the ideological development of the members. What you need to do is to make the members understand the Party's program, support the Party's leadership, and lead the members to actively move closer to the Party organization."

"You don't even understand the basic duties of a branch secretary. How can I believe you can do a good job as a branch secretary?"

After He Feihuai finished speaking, Li Guodong was a little dumbfounded.

Isn’t this what all branch secretaries did in the past?
Why do they have to complete ideological construction here? As for getting closer to the Party, hasn't their team always been trying to get closer to the Party?
Finally, he could only sit down and said rather unconvincedly.

"Then can they accomplish these ideological constructions?"

He Feihuai ignored Li Guodong and turned to look at Jiang Li.

"Secretary Jiang, why don't you take this opportunity to tell us how you plan to carry out your work next?"

After hearing what He Feihuai said.

Jiang Li was in a complicated mood.

Before coming, He Feihuai actually had a brief conversation with her, so she was mentally prepared.

Now, seeing that the team members who had been getting along well with her during this period of time had spoken out against it, she felt a little disappointed.

Now that He Feihuai asked her to carry out her work in public, she felt even more uneasy.

Because this is her first time arranging a job.

Su Wenchen also noticed Jiang Li's nervousness.

He gently clenched his fist towards her and said silently, "Come on!"

Seeing Su Wenchen's encouragement, Jiang Li took a deep breath.

"Thank you Secretary He for giving me this opportunity. Although everyone may not want me to be the branch secretary of our brigade, I still want to talk about some of the problems I encountered when I came to our brigade, and some solutions I have temporarily thought of."

"The first one is the literacy rate. Through my observations over the past period of time, more than half of the people in our brigade are illiterate, and women make up the majority of the illiterate people."

"This leads to the second problem, which is the preference for boys over girls. From what I have observed, most of the children who can go to school are boys."

"Even in many families, girls are called money-losing goods, while it is mostly the women in the family who are called that. However, this is also largely related to the indifference of the men in the family."

"Because of the preference for boys over girls, it is difficult for girls to acquire knowledge. When they grow up, they are easily influenced by their parents, which naturally makes it easier for them to prefer boys over girls. This can easily form a vicious cycle."

"Of course there are other issues, but I will just talk about these two today."

It seemed that as her thoughts became clearer, Jiang Li's nervousness was slowly dissipating.

Some of those sitting below didn't care at all, some did not comment, and some nodded frequently.

After hearing what Jiang Li said, Su Wenchen nodded secretly.

As expected, he came from a prestigious university in Beijing.

Apart from anything else, just in terms of knowledge, it is definitely not comparable to that of small places.

According to Su Wenchen's understanding, literacy seems to be promoted only in cities now, and various night schools are only available in cities.

The team below has no intention of doing this.

Su Wenchen was also a little curious about how Jiang Li was going to solve this problem. Was she going to copy the night school in the city?

Let’s not talk about anything else.

The mere fact that one has to learn to read and write at night after working during the day is enough to arouse strong resistance among the members.

Moreover, the labor intensity of working in the fields is much higher than that of working in factories in the city.

So in Su Wenchen's eyes, at least for now, their team does not have the conditions for large-scale literacy campaign.

To do this, their brigade's chicken farm must be fully developed, and then there is the bait of recruiting workers.

The personal enthusiasm of the members will be fully mobilized.

After all, if you force something like this when the material foundation is not met, it is likely to be a thankless task.
