Chapter 170: Surprised
Zhang Wei looked at his companions, who looked helpless. He thought about it, gritted his teeth, and made a promise directly, "After we borrow the books, we will assign responsibilities to people every day. If the books are damaged, dirty, or missing pages, we will implement a collective responsibility system. Everyone will be punished, and I will give you half of my next ration as compensation!"
The educated youths talked a lot after hearing this. The food rations were already very tight, especially in winter, and there were no wild vegetables to eat to save food. And even if they were frugal, if they didn't have enough to eat every day in winter, it would be a big problem!
However, their desire for books gradually overwhelmed their worries about food rations. Besides, this was just a punishment for damaging or dirtying the books. As long as they took precautions and were careful in the process of copying books, the punishment of giving up half of their food rations would be meaningless and they would not face any punishment.
Not only will there be books to read, but food rations will not be reduced!
"Zhang Wei, we will listen to you." Some educated youth nodded to each other to show their agreement with Liu Shan's approach, and then spoke out to express their agreement.
Then people kept speaking out in agreement.
The educated youth who had ulterior motives, especially the radical ones, had pale faces. When they saw that everyone around them nodded in agreement, they had no choice but to follow the crowd and grit their teeth to express their agreement.
However, their hearts were bleeding. Although Su Yunyun had pointed out their previous plan in the form of a question, it would be difficult to continue doing it, but didn't they say that there would always be a way out when the car reached the mountain? They hadn't received the book yet, which meant that everything was still possible, so they were still secretly thinking about how to do it without anyone noticing.
However, Zhang Wei's punishment and compensation measures turned all possibilities into bubbles. In order not to have to give out half of their food rations as compensation, I believe that other educated youth would definitely take careful precautions and would not give them the opportunity to act secretly, thus directly eliminating all possible bad things from happening.
After Zhang Wei proposed the solution, he had been secretly observing the radical educated youth. Seeing their gloomy faces, he realized that this measure would definitely be effective, and the situation that Su Yunyun was worried about would not occur!
He let out a long sigh, "Comrade Su Yunyun, do you think this is okay?"
When Zhang Wei proposed the solution, Su Yunyun began to observe all the educated youth present. Seeing that the faces of those educated youth with bad intentions kept changing, but finally they lowered their heads like defeated roosters, she understood that Liu Shan's plan held their lifeline!
After all, if half of the winter rations are taken away, it would be wishful thinking to spend the winter peacefully!
This Zhang Wei is also a resourceful man!
"Okay, then I'll believe you," Su Yunyun said, looking around at everyone, "I believe you!"
Su Yunyun's response brought tears to the eyes of many educated youth, as they would finally have books to review.
Zhang Wei was also very excited. "Thank you, Comrade Su Yunyun, but how can you lend us this book to copy?"
"There are two sets of this book. I'll lend you one set," Su Yunyun said straightforwardly. "As for the deadline, I'll add one more day, giving you four days. I believe that you probably decided to copy the book on a whim and don't have that much paper to use, so I'll give you one more day. You can use this time to prepare paper and have more time to copy the book. You don't have to rush. After all, you're busy working every day and you have to copy the book at the same time. Your body can't handle it!"
After hearing Su Yunyun's words, all the educated youth present were deeply moved. They originally thought that they might have to borrow books one by one, and then complete the copying within 3 days while taking on the already heavy workload, which was already very good!
As a result, Su Yunyun directly lent them a set of books and gave them 4 days, so they felt more confident in copying the books!
The educated youth expressed their gratitude to Su Yunyun one after another, and then thanked Su Ping and others. After all, in the next four days, six of them had to read a set of books, which was extremely inconvenient, especially at this critical moment when time counted!
They cheered only after the educated youth walked out of the Su's house, holding the books as if they were rare treasures in the world.
After returning to the educated youth institute, Wang Yuhe had not left yet. He originally planned to go back to the school dormitory directly, but after seeing the performance of the radical educated youth, he felt that he should keep a low profile and not let them know that he already had a book for the time being.
So he stayed, and when the educated youth came back, he saw the joy on their faces and knew that they had borrowed the books.
"How many books did you borrow?" Wang Yuhe asked.
"We borrowed a set!" Zhang Wei said happily, "The Su family is really generous. They only have two sets of books in total, but they lent us one set directly. You know, six people in their family are going to take the college entrance examination this time, and they are very short of books themselves!"
Wang Yuhe was also full of admiration for the Su family's generosity. "Then we have to finish copying the book quickly. We have to stay up late at night. Although it's a bit tiring, I estimate that we can finish copying it in three days. By the way, speaking of this, how many days did you borrow it?"
"Speaking of this, I have to praise them for being generous. I also said at the beginning that three days would be enough, but Su Yunyun took the initiative to borrow one more day, saying that it would take time for us to prepare the paper. I think this is actually a suitable reason for us to copy for one more day." Zhang Wei once again praised the Su family, and his praise was so sincere.
"That's great!" Wang Yuhe couldn't help but feel happy for his fellow educated youths. "Then we have to make arrangements for copying the book. Although we only have four days, it would be better if we could copy one more copy during this time. After all, time is precious!"
"Well, I already have a plan on the way," Zhang Wei agreed with Wang Yuhe's words, "Now we need to determine how many people don't have books and need to participate in copying books."
"I won't participate," Wang Yuhe said with a shy smile, "I called home and asked them to send my book to me."
"Your family is so nice!" After expressing his sincere envy, Zhang Wei ignored Wang Yuhe and started asking how many people participated in copying the book.
After collecting the list of people to copy, Zhang Wei began to divide the work. The first thing he had to do was to buy paper, and then divide people into groups according to subjects. The first person copied from the book. After copying a page, he numbered the pages and gave the copied paper to the next person, asking them to copy according to the content on the paper. This went on in turn, and when the first person finished copying a book, the others could finish copying one after another.
This kind of assembly line operation is not only efficient, but also ensures that people are not selfish. After all, no one knows which book is for them. What if they tamper with the books and it doesn't harm others but harms themselves? !
At the same time, Zhang Wei took into account that radical educated youth were uncertain and dangerous elements, so he specially arranged for radical educated youth to be responsible for the last round of copying, giving them no chance to touch the books at all. This ensured that the books would not be damaged in any way and also ensured that everyone's food rations would not be affected.
Therefore, this arrangement can ensure both quality and quantity!
The other educated youth agreed with Zhang Wei's arrangement. Those who had ready-made paper took it out and handed it to the people in charge of the first round of copying, and asked them to start first.
At this time, the distraught Wang Danju came in from outside, all wet, and the heated discussion surprised everyone.
