Chapter 82 Defend it with life

Farmers are the most realistic. For these quasi-immigrants, the dazzling machinery alone will not make them very interested.

But as soon as the fact that the yield per mu has increased by five times was in front of us, they immediately swear that they would learn this unique skill!

The prospective immigrants were inspired to learn with the highest enthusiasm for learning, and their cooperation with the training cadres was suddenly full. Every word they said was the standard and every order they ordered were implemented without hesitation.

Wang Qi and others also taught the immigrants all their money. In addition to the flood and dry fields, they also opened cotton fields, rapeseed fields, beet fields, and new crop fields such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, and taught them their agricultural skills as much as possible.

After dinner every day, each squadron will also open night school literacy, which everyone must participate. If it rains heavily, they will also take literacy classes throughout the day.

In fact, on the way here, immigrant cadres were already teaching immigrants to learn literacy. After the training center was relayed for three months, they could almost complete the preliminary literacy.

Of course, there are several ways to write fennel beans, but they still don’t know. However, the group does not require them to know. According to regulations, students in the literacy class can recognize 800 commonly used Chinese characters, write receipts and notes, and basically understand popular books and newspapers, and then they can graduate.

Later, when we arrived at the administrative district, the commune would organize learning during the slack season. There would be arithmetics and agricultural courses...

The enthusiasm for learning for quasi-immigrants is very high. For thousands of years, reading and literacy have been the privilege of the ruling class and have always been monopolized by the masters and husbands. When will it be their turn to be the mud-legged?

Although I work a day during the day, I still squeezed into a brightly lit classroom at night. I started with the simplest, most commonly used and most basic Chinese characters, including Pinyin and 'one, two, three, four, east, west, north, front, back, left, men, women, young and old...'.

After the prospective immigrant mastered the pinyin, the teachers gradually went from shallow to deep and taught some complex words.

Li Shouzhong studied very seriously. He never expected that Jiangnan Group would actually teach literacy. In his mind, it was superior to those who read and literate. Now he can learn to read without spending money. Is there such a good thing in the world?

The only thing that made him uncomfortable was that some content in the textbook seemed to be a bit rude.

For example, what is "poor people should not be bulls and horses, I want to turn over and be the masters", "learn culture well and break superstitions"...

The cultural teacher actually said that people are born equal, and all inequality is imposed on us by others.

It is too much to say that Gods and gods are all lies, and it is simply too much to believe in science!

No wonder Dongchang wants to investigate them!

Li Shouzhong felt that if he took back this literacy textbook, he could get a deal with Mr. Shen. However, he didn't want to do this at all. Is it considered a personal matter to repay kindness and revenge?

Alas, it's really a tangle...

But most people don’t have his strong sense of loyalty to the emperor, so they will naturally not be confused. Now they believe whatever the teacher says. I guess they dare to rebel with the group if they give them a knife...

For example, Gundam was almost brainwashed. Li Shouzhong had to inject loyalty into him when he found an opportunity to prevent him from doing something stupid.

The two families also have their own unborn child... Well, they are just newly born children now, and their lives are still in the hands of the Dongchang Factory.

More than a month later, the busy farming season has passed.

Just do the work in the fields for women, and the training cadres took men to build seawalls, reservoirs, and teach them how to do projects.

Every morning, physical education instructors also conduct queue training for men.

First, prepare for them to join the reserve after they are assigned to various administrative regions. Second, through queue training, the discipline of men can be greatly enhanced.

Wang Qi also took them boat to fish in the sea and taught them how to use mudflats to carry out seafood breeding. After all, 99% of overseas cities are located by the sea, so you still need to understand this skill.

Fishermen in the coastal areas have mastered the technology of raising seafood on mudflats hundreds of years ago. They directly use mudflats to breed various shellfish such as sea rainbows, scallops, clams, kelp, seaweed and other algae. They will also transform mudflats into fish ponds and breed various fish and shrimps.

But these prospective immigrants have never heard of, which is really an eye-opener.

Although Wang Qi is the captain, he always does it himself during training, hoping to teach all his knowledge in these three months.

The prospective immigrants naturally felt the sincerity of this "big cadre" and loved him very much. The single dogs living in the collective dormitory even fought with Wang Qi, and they called him Qiye.

After a long time, Li Shouzhong and Gundam realized that Qi Ye was only 34 years old. He was only thirty-four years old, but his skin turned into a sauce color and deep wrinkles were blown out, which naturally looked particularly old.

They accidentally heard from the brigade's deputy that Wang Qing'ao's name was related to Qi Ye. But when they asked Wang Qi curiously, he always talked about him.

Happy times are always short. Prospective immigrants never felt that time passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was mid-June and the day to finish training.

All immigrants received a certificate of completion issued by the training center and ship tickets of different destinations.

Wang Qihe trained the cadres for two days and went to the central service station to buy various wine, braised dishes, and sauce goods. He also killed two big fat pigs. Of course, fish, shrimps and crabs were indispensable. He organized a sumptuous dinner to see them off.

At first everyone was quite happy, but when Team Liu asked the captain to give a toast, Wang Qi picked up the wine bowl and whispered loudly:

"Brothers and sisters, it's time to go their separate ways..."

The atmosphere in the field was immediately suffocated, and the unscathing feeling spread.

At first, someone wiped his tears, but gradually he cried, and the prospective immigrants cried, and the training cadres cried. Wang Qi's eyes were red, making everyone unable to part with it.

The prospective immigrants are no longer the numbness of joy and sorrow that they were originally. Their hearts have been completely warmed by the trained cadres and they have completely belonged to the Jiangnan Group.

"Okay, okay, I won't say much. Don't cry anymore, you can't eat even if you cry." Wang Qi wiped his tears with the back of his hand and said loudly: "Let's go!"

"Come on, everyone pick up the wine and have a drink together!" The training cadres quickly activated the atmosphere.

After a while, the courtyard gradually became lively. The immigrants came to toast Wang Qi and the instructors in a team. Wang Qi came without hesitation and drank more than a dozen glasses of beer in succession. The whole face was as red as cooked shrimps.

"Everyone stop and let the captain slow down." Team Deputy Liu quickly rescued Wang Qi, and successfully transferred the firepower to himself...

Wang Qiyi looked drunk and looked at the mixed cadres and immigrants with a smile. Someone stuffed a cigarette into his mouth on the side, and someone lit it for him from the other side.

But it was Li Shouzhong and Gundam.

"Two bad guys." Wang Qi took a sip and squirted Li Shouzhong's face and said, "Where are you allocated?"

"What Taiwan?" Li Shouzhong said with a frown: "Oh, I'm going to take a boat again."

"Sincere, boy." Wang Qi smiled and said, "The nearest administrative region here is Taiwan."

"That's how..." Li Shouzhong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If he had been on the sea for a month or two, he would probably not have his life.

In fact, strictly speaking, Xingang City is only one thousand miles away from Zhoushan, nearly one hundred miles more than Taiwan. But a few years ago, the group stopped sending immigrants to Danluo Island, and all immigrants went south.

The public statement is that the Little Ice Age is about to enter, and the climate on Danluo Island will also deteriorate. As for the real reason, I can only ask Zhao Hao...

"Master Qi, we won't see you tomorrow. Why don't you tell us what you call me?" But Gundam was a stubborn person and had not forgotten the question that Wang Qi refused to answer.

"I really don't call myself Wang Qing, I'm just called Wang Qi." Wang Qi also drank, his mouth was not so tight, he took out his work permit from his briefcase, and shook in front of two boys who had just graduated from the literacy class.

As expected, the two saw that it said:

‘Name: Wang Qi.

Working unit: 58 Training Brigade, Fourth Detachment of Zhoushan Immigration Training Center

Position: Team leader (Administrative Level 10)’

"You really don't call him Wang Qing, then who is he?" Gundam scratched his head.

"That's my nephew." Wang Qi sighed sadly and said, "If he were alive, he would be several years older than your brother..."

"Ah..." Gundam finally understood why Master Qi was reluctant to talk about this.

But the conversation had already opened, so Wang Qi continued to talk.

"Actually, our family is also an immigrant. We are from Anqiu County, Qingzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province. Anqiu is a good place. The growing green onions can be as tall as one person. But unfortunately, there is an Anqiu King in the county."

"That year was the first year of Longqing, and there was a locust plague in Shandong. My father and my brother Wang Liu were conscripted to build the royal tomb again. The family had already been cut off. If they went there, the nest of old and young people would starve to death. They could only pack up their things and escape from their hometown overnight."

Thinking of the miserable situation of fleeing famine back then, Wang Qi couldn't help but burst into tears and said, "There was no immigration office at that time, and there was no group. Our family could only go south by begging for food. At that time, the entire Shandong was in disaster and could not get a few bites of food."

"In order to save us some stutter, my mother asked for food and was reluctant to leave, but she died of starvation on the road. My father and my brother begged grandpa and helped the charity farm to collect the dead for a month. Finally, I asked my mother to find a piece of land to settle in the grave."

Li Shouzhong, Gao Da and others felt sad when they heard this. It turned out that Qi Ye was also a miserable person.

"Later, after a lot of hardships, I went to Suzhou. My father and my brother carried big bags at Hushuguan. My sister-in-law took me and my eighth sister to do short-term work everywhere. She reeled silk in spring, harvested rice in summer, and picked cotton in autumn... She worked so hard all year round, and she could barely make a living."

"But the Chinese New Year has passed, the market in Suzhou is not good, and I can't find work in one winter. My father carried the bag and broke his waist again. The whole family relied on my brother to carry the sacks to support him. He started eating again and didn't have a meal. He couldn't get a grain of rice for several days. My little nephew, even Wang Qing, was so hungry that he couldn't hold his head..."

"Fortunately, a fellow villager said that there is a Jiangnan company in Kunshan that needs to recruit people to farm, and that the whole family and young can go there together. When they go there, they will have a place to live, and the whole family will eat, and the harvest will be half the amount at the end of the year!"

"My brother is more conservative and thinks this good thing is too lingering, but the family is about to starve to death, so he can only kill him, so he took the whole family to Kunshan." Wang Qi said with emotion: "Later he said that he didn't expect this to be the most correct decision he had made in his life."

"Since I followed the group, our family has never been hungry again and life has been getting better and better every year. My two nephews have gone to school, and my little nephew, Wang Qing, is the most successful and has become the first junior high school student on our 69th Farm! As soon as I graduated, I joined the group as a cadre, but it made my father, brother and sister-in-law so beautiful."

"Because his brother became a coast guard, he was sent to the Atlantic War Zone. According to the policy, he could stay in Suzhou at that time, but Wang Qing took the initiative to report and asked to go overseas and do something for the immigrants."

"His mood is worthy of praise, but policy is policy, so the organization assigned him to Zhoushan, not only not far from home, but also doing something for immigrants as he wishes."

"Wang Qing came here and started as an agricultural technician. He is educated and devoted himself to immigration training. He was promoted to captain at the age of nineteen." Wang Qi pointed to the first seawall on the beach to the south and said:

"It was the second year he became the captain and built it with his immigrants. As a result, a typhoon came as soon as the repair was completed. He was worried that he could not get down to the newly encircled seawall, so he led people to patrol the berth day and night."

"As a result, when strengthening the seawall, I accidentally fell into the water. I was less than twenty years old..." Wang Qi pointed at Wang Qing'ao with tears in his face and said, "In order to commemorate him, the group named this place Wang Qing'ao. What he hadn't done, I, the uncle, came to continue doing it for him..."

After saying that, he wiped his tears, his eyes slowly passed by Li Shouzhong, Gao Da and others, and said with great anticipation: "I said this not to touch you, but to tell you that all the things you have received this year were exchanged for by the predecessors with their lives and hard work.

"In short, everyone must cherish this hard-earned good life! Use all their strength to make life better and better, and live a life of flowers! You must also use your life to defend it..."
