Chapter 387 The Wind Rises in the Blink of an Eye
In the following days, Liu Guozheng and Lou Xiao'e spent most of their time in the village, taking care of the children, playing cards, fishing, and living a very comfortable life.
Pleasant days often pass quickly.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was October 1966.
In the past three years, many newborns have been born in Hope Village, including three from Liu Guozheng's family.
In August of 1964, Lou Xiao'e successfully gave birth to twins, Liu Jitang and Liu Jiming.
Originally, Liu Guozheng thought that three children would be enough, but Lou Xiao'e disagreed. She wanted a daughter. In May of 66, she fulfilled her wish and finally gave birth to a daughter, whom she named Liu Xiaoxiao.
The families of others, including Erlang, Li Xiangdong, Lao San and others, also had new additions, and basically all of them had both sons and daughters.
In addition, the elderly people in the village have also retired one after another. Gu Nian took over as the village chief, and Master Yuan from the village canteen has also retired and was taken over by Liu Xiaolong.
Among the first batch of children accepted into Hope New Village, those of the same age as Liu Xiaolong basically stayed in the village, and new forces joined the fish ponds, orchards and the breeding base on the back mountain.
The whole village was thriving.
In the past three years, New Hope Food Factory has also achieved great development, gradually adding convenience production lines and snack production lines, mainly producing dry noodles, noodles, etc.; most of the snacks are hawthorn related, hawthorn strips, hawthorn slices, hawthorn cakes, etc., in addition there are meat jerky and beef granules, which are snacks that are very popular among the people.
The factory has expanded its recruitment three times in a row. The good development of the food factory has also driven the development of the Jingxi mining area. Thanks to the fact that the food factory only recruits people with rural household registration, the rural living standards in the entire Jingxi mining area have reached the national first-class level.
The entire western Beijing mining area has become a place that many people yearn for, and some women from other places are proud to marry into Hope New Village. Unfortunately, no one has been able to marry in in the past few years because there are no young men of marriageable age in the village. The oldest of the new generation is Liu Xiaolong, who is only 16 years old this year.
I don't want to move to the new village for the time being. Young men of marriageable age in nearby villages have become the target of many outsiders. Later on, as long as you are a young man in the mining area in western Beijing, you will have no trouble finding a wife.
Also, during these years, in October 65, the entire Indian Peninsula and the southernmost island of Ceylon were taken, the new Han Nationalist Republic was established, and diplomatic relations were established successively with the Tang Dynasty and the Xia Kingdom.
From 62 to 66, during these four years, the Han Dynasty temporarily stopped at the Indian Peninsula, because Indochina is now a battlefield. The remnants of India and the indigenous people of Indochina and the surrounding areas of Annan are all at war. What the Han Dynasty has to do at this stage is to wait.
After all, for ideological reasons, the Xia Kingdom now considers Annan to be a brother country and has been strongly supporting them in the war with the Eagle Sauce. So after listening to Liu Guozheng's advice, the Han Dynasty temporarily stopped its expansion and waited for the opportunity.
It is worth mentioning that Liu Guozheng has another cousin, that is Liu Guoqiang, the commander-in-chief of the Han army.
After the Han Dynasty established diplomatic relations with the Xia Kingdom, a lot of things were donated in the name of Liu Guoqiang, all of which were practical agricultural machinery and tools.
This was also a decision Liu Guozheng made after careful consideration. Xiaguo is now in a storm. Liu Guozheng knows history and knows that this storm will last for ten years. No one can guarantee it. There will be some young people in the middle who will be envious of the industry in Hope New Village. Therefore, Liu Guozheng has added another obvious backer for himself.
Liu Guodong of the Tang Dynasty and Liu Guoqiang of the Han Dynasty would send some local specialties to Liu Guozheng from time to time. It was not that Liu Guozheng liked these specialties, but just to show their brotherhood to the world, especially the top leaders of the Xia Kingdom.
Over the years, Liu Guozheng and Hope New Village have been living a stable life. At least no one in power has come to cause trouble.
Of course, there were also some fools, many of whom were secretly dealt with by Liu Guozheng, the kind that was neither seen alive nor dead.
However, the situation is now somewhat serious, and the Little Red Guards outside are becoming increasingly rampant.
Various public institutions, schools, enterprises and factories also set up special committees one after another, and for a time the entire Xia country was in chaos.
During this period, Liu Guozheng stayed in the office during the day to guard against those ignorant young people, mainly the Little Red Guards in the school, who were the kind of people who would do anything when they got excited.
If they come to the office to cause trouble, Li Dabao and Xu Damao really don't know what to do? They know the seriousness of the current situation.
It doesn't matter at night, whether it's in the village, the food factory, or the office. Liu Guozheng has specifically told Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and Jiang Ping that if anyone takes the opportunity to cause trouble at night, they should be humanely destroyed directly without asking for permission. This is an order.
For robots, Liu Guozheng's orders are truth.
When the storm began on a large scale in May this year, Liu Guozheng held a meeting for the main leaders of the village and the factory, strictly prohibiting all kinds of campaigns. Anyone who promoted or demoted others would be directly dismissed without warning.
By the way, we also distributed the red book that we had purchased in advance. Everyone in the village, factory, and office was given a copy. We asked them to memorize some commonly used quotations as much as possible, and not to go out when we had nothing to do. We should stay in the village and around the factory on weekdays.
If you really need to travel far away, it is best to carry the Red Book with you, which can also reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.
In five months, Liu Guozheng memorized all the quotations of more than 400 items and 80,000 to 90,000 words. No matter what you asked him, he could tell him by heart what was on which page. Even so, Liu Guozheng never put down the Little Red Book when he was in the office.
To put it bluntly, this thing was fine at the beginning, but gradually it became a formalism, which is also the general trend.
In view of the growing momentum of the movement in society, Liu Guozheng also put forward requirements for Xinxiwang School and Xinxiwang Technical School, that is, starting from May, a closed management model should be implemented to allow students of these two schools to have as little contact as possible, or no contact with those soldiers outside who are involved in the movement.
However, this has both advantages and disadvantages. These students are very energetic and there have even been several fights. Finally, at the suggestion of Liu Guozheng, a labor class was temporarily added.
In Liu Guozheng's words, "Aren't you full of energy? Then go and work. There are many things in the village that can consume energy, such as weeding in the orchard, shoveling cow and sheep manure at the farm, harvesting grass, etc. The effect is surprisingly good."
After giving instructions to all departments, Liu Guozheng began his daily routine of commuting from the village to the office and from the office to the village.
