The next day, Li Siming and Zeng Zhi were transferred back to the farm and workers' ranks, and three educated youths replaced them. These three educated youths were arrested for stealing chickens. A large group of sisters, aunts and aunts were reluctant to give up and counted all the chickens they had lost at home in the past on the three of them. Everyone insiders knew that it was the first time they did this, but they were not expected to be caught by the highly vigilant revolutionary masses.

The wife of Company Chen also raised chickens. In the countryside, raising cattle to plow the fields, raising chickens to spend money, and raising pigs to celebrate the New Year. Each chicken is treated like a treasure. If the treasures are thrown away too many, of course, we have to find a leader to solve them. Company Commander Chen and Instructor Ding are often blocked in the office for these trivial matters. When they return home, their wife complains, so these three educated youth became scapegoats.

This is actually what these three educated youths asked for. Stealing chickens is a very professional job. People with such experience say that there must be a clear division of labor, some are responsible for viewing the wind, some are responsible for providing tools for crimes, and some are responsible for implementing them in detail. They must first investigate the terrain in detail, understand the rules of the owner's chicken raising, and choose reasonable targets. It is best to be chickens from other companies, and rabbits do not eat grass by the nest. There is also the hen that lays eggs must not be touched. They must know how to keep the eggs forever. If they rely on this, they will not steal them if they are extinct. Unexpectedly, these three people will commit crimes in a bunch before dark, and it is not unfair to be caught.

Li Siming and Zeng Zhi actually didn't want to leave the pig farm. Although they were not as busy and idle as farming all year round, fortunately there was no one to restrain them. As long as the pigs were not sick, they would be fine. They could also hunt or something when they had time to satisfy their taste needs. With the excuse of celebrating the return of Li Siming and Zeng Zhi, the brothers of the farmers and workers swept away the prey that Li Siming had recently hunted.

In 1974, several important things happened this year. First, on January 17, the People's Liberation Army won the self-defense counterattack in the Xisha Islands, and second, on March 11, the huge and world-renowned Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang were discovered in Lintong, Shaanxi.

Of course, this year, the most important thing is the "Criticism of Lin and Confucius" movement, which is in full swing in China. The Fifth Company is of course no exception. According to the instructor, this is the top priority at present, which is more important than eating. The giant big-character posters in the conference room are overwhelming. The publicity columns in front of the company's office and in front of the dormitory are changed in three days and in five days. Each row has to take turns to practice. The big-character posters have different patterns every day. Those who are called by the big-character posters will immediately act like a dog with their tails. Of course, if they are praised on the big-character posters, they will be filled with joy and excitement. The company's publicity column is under the responsibility of the deputy instructor Xu Xueqing, so Li Siming is often on the list and has many charges.

Li Siming was born into a working family, and his ancestors were all well-off for three generations. He was not as good as the best and did not talk about politics in public, so naturally no one could find out the big problem. There are still many people who flatter Xu Xueqing. Joining the army, joining the party, recruiting workers, and going to college are inseparable from the kind care of Deputy Instructor Xu, but Li Siming was not easy to mess with. Everyone had eaten wolf meat that time, so they only looked for some minor problems, such as smoking only good cigarettes, such as not wearing patched clothes, and having a petty bourgeois tendency. As for private automatic hunting with guns, they automatically ignored it because they had tasted it. And everyone also knew that these minor problems could not be treated like Li Siming, and Li Siming himself didn't care. It was good to please both sides.

Almost every time a big-character poster is posted, Li Siming would conduct a review at the company conference. When the times were too many, he didn't need to draft in advance. Every time he took a piece of paper that looked full of words to the stage, he didn't look at the manuscript paper at all, and came out to review and follow the current affairs and track the political situation. He was definitely sincere and sincere. After the review, he immediately put on the torn clothes left by the mute, brought a pack of inferior cigarettes, and found the person who wrote his big-character poster to give a thought report. He often patted others on the shoulder and said, "No, the big-character poster has made progress compared to last time, at least the brush calligraphy is better than last time, but I found a few typos on it! There is one more than last time!" It makes people laugh bitterly.

Spring has arrived, and another group of intellectual youth came to Daxing. It is obvious that the various problems encountered by the countryside when they went to the countryside to go to the construction corps are no longer the same as in previous years. The various problems encountered by the army or the construction corps in the countryside have gradually become known to all levels of urban society. Some people try every means to avoid going to the countryside or the frontier. More than 20 new educated youth have come to the Fifth Company. Although the company held a welcome meeting, everyone is not very interested. There are 12 production and construction corps and 3 agricultural construction divisions in the country. As a "quasi-military force", they are basically formed according to the army's organization, but different places have different numbers and scales. Take the company as an example. There are dozens of people, hundreds of people, or even thousands of people. The Fifth Company now has more than 500 people.

In fact, the Corps can be divided into several types. One is a demobilized soldier like the company commander. They originally belonged to state-owned farm workers. After all, it is much better to work on a farm than to farm in the countryside. They are called farm workers. After the Corps is established, they will take over state-owned farms, and these employees become Corps employees. There are also educated youth, who are the main body of the Corps. There are also many active-duty soldiers, and the leaders of the Corps generally belong to the leadership. The employees' families generally work as temporary workers in the Corps. Later, their household registration is "farmers to non-agricultural" and they also become Corps employees. In some places, they also include those who release their labor reforms, and their political status is the lowest.

"Li Siming!" The company commander saw Li Siming watching the fun and called him.

"The last general is here! I wonder what company commander you have ordered?" In front of the company commander, Li Siming never knew what authority is.

"Assign you a task and take these new educated youth comrades to visit them!"

"Yes!" Li Siming agreed very simply, but said to himself, "What's the big deal about the place, what's the point to visit?"

"Dear new comrades in the Corps, let me introduce myself first. My name is Li Siming. I am a soldier from the first row of farmers and workers. Please take care of you and make progress together, and make progress together!" Li Siming vividly learned Instructor Ding's tone. Instructor Ding slapped him.

"Wow, he's just a wolf-beating hero!", "It's amazing!", "It's amazing!"...

"Comrade Li Siming, tell us the story of you beating a wolf?" Someone gave an opinion. Li Siming was surprised. Why did these people know about this matter as soon as they arrived? It must be an old educated youth who was joking in front of these newcomers.

"Okay, I'll tell you!" Li Siming added fuel to his "glorious deeds" and said, how fierce the wolves were to highlight their great bravery and how noble it was to protect national property. He had the talent of storytelling, which made stars appear in the eyes of several girls in the crowd.

Yang Yue passed by him and saw him joking. He remembered what he said last time in Shichahai, Beijing. He had almost forgotten it, but now he remembered it again. He couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Shameless!" But Li Siming heard it.

He grabbed Yang Yue: "Next, I will introduce to you the outstanding representative of our educated youth, Comrade Yang Yue, who comes from a senior cadre family in Beijing. Comrade Yang Yue is not simple. A little girl, who travels thousands of miles, abandons superior living conditions, gives up the opportunity to join the army and go to college, and comes to the Great Northern Wilderness, facing the black soil and facing the sky, and dedicated it to the Great Northern Wilderness. As Chairman Mao said, he is a person with noble morality, a pure person, and a person who is free from low-level interests. So, Comrade Yang Yue is our role model. Let us welcome Comrade Yang Yue to talk to you about her experience in Daxing with applause, okay?"

Li Siming's series of big hats made Yang Yue laugh and cry, but she could not object. Thinking of Li Siming's tall hat just now, her cheeks turned red, making Li Siming lose his mind for a short time. So, Yang Yue had to stand in front of the new educated youth, searching hard to talk about her own experience. Yang Yue's eloquence is still good, and she usually speaks more than once at meetings. This kind of scene is absolutely insignificant. After saying that, she turned around, glared at Li Siming and left.

Li Siming brought the new educated youth to the company office. The company commander and instructor were there, pointing to the office and talking nonsense: "Comrades, this is the company office. Although it is small and simple, this is the most important part of our company, our leadership organ, the command center for our sea navigation. The company commander is the captain and the instructor is the sail. They have shed blood and been injured in the war years. Now they are guiding the soldiers of the company to cut through the waves and win one victory after another on the black soil. So I suggest that we thank the company commander and instructor for their great achievements with applause."

Applause rang out. Although Company Commander Chen and Instructor Ding deserved the favor of Li Siming, their faces were not as thick as Li Siming. They waved their hands repeatedly and said that it was not worth mentioning, but they scolded Li Siming for deliberately making them happy.
