Chapter 183 Let's Build a Factory
The educated youths looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes, so they could only sigh.
The atmosphere was a little tense.
The educated youths are young and energetic, but at the same time they are kind-hearted. Seeing the situation of the Sun family, they don't blame them anymore.
After all, it wasn't their brother's intention to lose the food.
But without food, what do educated youths eat?
You can't drink northwest wind, can you?
Go out to beg for food?
It seems that there is only one way.
Su Qihang smiled bitterly, and was about to stand up and say a few words, but at this moment, Du Ruo stood up!
"Everyone listen to me," Du Ruo first looked at the Sun brothers who were kneeling on the ground;
"You didn't do it on purpose about the food matter," Du Ruo said calmly, but loudly, "After you become heroes, we won't make things difficult for you."
The four brothers held back their tears when they heard the words, and kowtowed to Du Ruo and the others several times with 'bang, bang, bang'!
"Thank you!"
"thank you all!"
"But" Du Ruo changed his voice, "After all, you lost the food that our educated youth ordered, because of you, we have no rice for lunch."
"If you do something wrong, you will be punished, and you are no exception!"
The four brothers puffed up their chests, and Sun Dalu wiped away the tears on his face, "You said: what should we do? As long as we can do it, even if we risk our lives, we will definitely do it!"
"Don't worry," Du Ruo smiled, "It's not that serious!"
Du Ruo looked at the educated youth behind him, "What's your opinion?"
During this period of time, Du Ruo had a very good relationship with the educated youths in the educated youth spot, especially Du Ruo was knowledgeable, generous, kind and polite, and won everyone's respect.
Everyone said:
"We have no opinion!"
"Just do it!"
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Du Ruo nodded and said, "As for cooking without rice?"
"When I came, I brought some food. We should eat it first. It should be enough for a week. As for the future"
Chen Min felt a little guilty, "Du Ruo, you brought those grains from the capital with great difficulty, we can't eat them."
"Yeah, you can keep it for yourself!"
Seeing that everyone didn't take it for granted, Du Ruo was still very happy, and said with a smile,
"My food is only temporarily lent to everyone. When the next time the food is distributed, everyone will pay me back slowly."
After everyone heard the words, they nodded in agreement.
Then, Du Ruo said with a serious face, "The key is how to go in the future?"
"Are you really willing to go out and beg for food?"
Du Ruo's eyes swept over the educated youths one by one;
Su Qihang smiled wryly, "If there is a way, who would like to go out and beg for food?"
"Yes," the educated youths complained one after another:
"I grew up so big, I didn't expect that one day I would have to go out to beg for food in order to live!"
"If my family knew that I had to beg for food to survive here, I don't know how much they would love me!"
"I'd rather starve to death than face other people's pity!"
As they spoke, many educated youths turned red-eyed.
Du Ruo looked at the old branch secretary, "What do you think?"
The old branch secretary said helplessly, "If there is a way, who would like to go out and beg for food?"
"Isn't there no way?"
"If you don't go out to beg for food, the villagers will starve to death!"
"If there is a way to prevent the villagers from starving, even if I die immediately, I will be happy!"
"Okay!" Du Ruo said, "Since you said so, I have a solution here, which may allow the whole village to have enough food, so that they won't have to suffer from hunger and cold in the future!"
"What did you say?" The old branch secretary was a little disbelieving, "Can you conjure food?"
Du Ruo shook his head, "No!"
The old party secretary was a little angry, "You can't make food, how dare you talk big?"
Du Ruo explained seriously, "I have another way, would you like to hear it?"
Du Ruo looked at those educated youths again, "Would you like to hear it?"
The educated youths naturally nodded to save face, "Of course!"
Du Ruo looked at the old branch secretary.
The old branch secretary hesitated for a while, but finally nodded.
So, Du Ruo suggested that everyone go to the educated youth spot, and the old party secretary had no objection.
When they arrived at the educated youth spot, Du Ruo asked Zhang Nana to bring a stool for the old party secretary to sit on, and the rest of the people also found their own places to sit.
After the people sat down, Du Ruo said, "Old party secretary, let's build a factory in our village!"
"What?" The old branch secretary thought he had heard it wrong, and looked at Du Ruo in disbelief, "I didn't hear what you said just now, please say it again."
Not only the old party secretary had a look of hell, but even the educated youths had a look of shock.
Knowing what they were worried about, Du Ruo said with a serious and firm expression, "We set up the factory in the name of the village. This is a collective economy, not a private economy."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still a little worried.
The old branch secretary waved his hands again and again, "Is this okay?"
"Why not? This is a collective economy, and the factories in our village are not owned by individuals!"
Du Ruo sighed, and said earnestly, "Old party secretary, I also know that this matter is difficult, but we have to give it a try."
"I have done some research in the past few days. There are nearly 2000 people in our village. There are more than 30 males under the age of 16 and over 500 years old. At present, there are nearly 60 people who have no money to marry a wife."
"Hey, I asked, and they all said that our village is poor, and no woman is willing to marry and suffer."
"Old party secretary, if our village becomes rich, all the bachelors in the village can marry their wives, which will be a great merit to you when you grow old!"
Du Ruo didn't want to use this reason to persuade the old party secretary, but he had no choice. The old party secretary was conservative in his thinking, and he could only be moved by the interests of the Niujiawan people.
Sure enough, the old branch secretary stopped talking.
On the other hand, the educated youths on the side were a little anxious.
Su Qihang walked up to Du Ruo, lowered his voice and said, "Du Ruo, your proposal is too bold, what if it doesn't work?"
"Yes," Chen Min was a little worried,
For Du Ruo's sake, Zhou Zhen and Xu Wei also advised Du Ruo not to meddle in his own business.
But Du Ruo said, "Don't you want to make your life better?"
"As long as this factory can be opened, you can all go in and work as workers, don't you really want to?"
"This?"
Everyone stopped talking, why would they not want to?
Farm work is too hard, and they are already impatient. They are still young and want to create a big career instead of wasting their youth and life on meaningless labor.
Labor is naturally not meaningless, but they feel that they can create greater value.
When I wake up every day, I go to work in the fields, and when I come back, I just want to close my eyes and sleep. How is it different from the old scalpers in the village?
Seeing that everyone stopped talking.
Du Ruo said again, "Old branch secretary, can you apply to the higher authorities first?"
The old branch secretary hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Then what factory does our village open?"
Du Ruo smiled confidently, "Latiao!"
