Chapter 819 Be Smart
Song Xiaolan hesitated and said, "That's not necessary. Shouldn't we discuss this privately first?"
"If we just hold a general meeting, with so many people, just notifying them would be a huge undertaking, not to mention the fact that you'd have to talk about yours and they'd have to talk about theirs. It would be even more difficult to handle!"
Sister Jin and the others were shocked. Who would discuss this with you in private?
Now, the people in charge of the school site selection issue are Mrs. Tang and Ye Shu. At most, the school leaders will come over and say a few words. Who do you think you are, Song Xiaolan?
But before Jin's frank shock could be uttered, Ye Shu smiled first and asked calmly:
"If we discuss this with you, then you can represent everyone's opinions? When did you become the representative of the masses? Did everyone vote by show of hands?"
She is definitely not.
Song Xiaolan looked embarrassed: "You don't need to make a big deal out of this, do you?"
Ye Shu straightened his face and said in a serious tone, "This is a serious matter. I'm not just chatting with you about family matters, and it's certainly not something you can settle with just a few words."
Ye Shu looked at Mrs. Tang, who nodded, "Let's have a meeting. If you have any questions, let's discuss them at the meeting."
Zhao Jinhua came out from the corner again and took the initiative to take on the task of notifying every household.
Ye Shu reminded him, "By the way, anyone who misses three consecutive collective meetings will have their right to participate in any organizational decisions revoked. We'll post a notice to make this known."
Ye Shu had said this once before, and the participants of the last meeting also told others about it after returning.
But not many people took it seriously, thinking that it was just a verbal warning and threat. Could she really deprive them of their rights?
But now, they dare not be careless.
Because when Zhao Jinhua went door to door to notify everyone, she said:
"I'm kindly reminding you, the higher-ups are serious. You only have three chances. If you really need something, just ask for leave. If you don't, don't make trouble. Be smart and go to the meeting! If your spots are really eliminated later, I wonder who you'll have to cry to!"
Some people were dissatisfied: "It's not that serious, is it? Are you saying it that seriously? I have something to do, so why can't I not go?"
Zhao Jinhua: "Hmph, let me tell you this. If you really have something to do and are not free during the day, you can go there in the evening and tell me your personal opinion."
"If your entire family is ill and bedridden, I'll also register you. This means your inability to attend the meeting isn't due to your subjective wishes, but rather objective conditions. They'll definitely come to your house in person later to ask for your opinion!"
The point is, whether you attend this meeting or not, you will eventually have to participate.
Unless you give up your right to participate in any organizational resolutions.
Others found it incredible: "You live in the same courtyard with them. I think you have been assimilated by them. Why do you only speak to them?"
Zhao Jinhua laughed and said, "Don't stare at me. We are all human beings. If there are problems, don't just listen to what others say. Ask the men in your family."
"Your husband is stationed in the garrison, right? Your son is a junior cadre in the garrison, right? He was just promoted two years ago, right? Oh, your husband was also just promoted, right? Go ask their opinions and see if the men want you to go or not!"
After saying that, Zhao Jinhua looked at them, gave a meaningful smile, and left.
These people themselves did not want to participate in the meeting because they were instigated.
Ultimately, it was all about the house and the dead body pit in Yard No. 1. They didn't want to live there themselves, nor did they want the school to move there.
Someone instigated that as long as they didn't attend the meeting, the school matter would be delayed again and again and would not be decided, and would eventually come to nothing.
But now that Zhao Jinhua reminded them of this, their minds immediately wavered.
Yes, you have to ask the man at home!
At this time, someone with a clear mind reminded him: "Starting from last winter, what happened in the Wumu Town garrison and the cadre building? You really don't remember anything at all?"
Those confused people who were instigated suddenly became clear-headed. No, they knew it too well!
"The location of our cadre school wasn't decided by those two female comrades, but by the cadres stationed in the area. Don't you know that?"
Those people hesitated: "...Is this true?"
Someone nearby reminded him, "If it's fake, look at those principals and teachers. What would they say? How would they react?"
The principals and teachers fully cooperated and were quite low-key!
Ye Shu and the others did whatever they were asked to do and actively helped clean and repair the slum.
At this point, everyone suddenly realized: "Let's go, let's go to the meeting! What time did they say it was? Is it still in time for us to go now?"
Zhao Jinhua went to call people, and while waiting for everyone to come to the meeting, Tang Dasao and Jin Saozi were also discussing this matter:
"How are we going to hold the meeting later? Now I think about them coming over and her saying this and that. Oh my, my head is going to explode!"
Ye Shu was very calm.
In order to save land and for the development and impact of urban construction, schools, hospitals and the like are usually planned above cemeteries or mass graves when making plans.
She went from kindergarten to university, and as far as she knew, almost every school was once a cemetery or mass grave.
Even the elementary school playground was made of dirt. In the spring and summer, the kids would dig in the dirt and catch insects for fun. They once dug out a broken urn, with the white bones inside still faintly visible.
But that was in later times, when urban planning and construction had become relatively mature, and everyone stuck to the old ways when choosing school locations.
Now, everything is still in its initial stages, and it does require some effort and conversation to do a good job of ideological work among the masses.
At this time, Meng Mingzhen suddenly spoke up: "In fact, from ancient times to the present, some large colleges and universities have been built on cemeteries and mass graves. It is already ancient times."
So when the school principal and teachers learned that there was a mass grave in Yard No. 1, they had no reaction at all.
This aroused everyone's curiosity. Sister Jin asked, "Why?"
Meng Mingzhen sighed: "If this is brought up, it will be called feudal superstition."
She lowered her voice and said, "It is said that children have strong yang energy, and the sound of reading aloud every day is also positive energy, which can drive away all evil spirits."
Sister Jin and the others gasped: "Oh, if we tell anyone about this, they'll definitely accuse us of being superstitious. We can't tell anyone!"
Ye Shu: "Well, don't worry, I have a way to deal with this matter."
She stood up and walked out: "Let's go next door and see how many people have come."
