They didn't expect to be able to sign a contract today and take the materials back; one horse-drawn cart obviously couldn't carry them all.

Looking at the warehouse, there was so much cotton, cotton cloth, and needles and thread piled up.

This time, Huang Youqing was worried.

Unexpectedly, Xu Fengtian waved his hand and made two phone calls, immediately dispatching two tractors from other brigades.

Please take these things back to the village for them on their way.

Before leaving, Xu Fengtian gave Jiang Tiecheng a bunch of bags and a lot of other things.

However, all these things were wrapped up very well and put in baskets, so no one could tell.

With a broad smile, Xu Fengtian personally helped Jiang Tiecheng onto the tractor.

They returned to the production team in a large procession, and many people were actually watching from the crossroads. Even though it was snowing heavily, people were anxiously waiting for news.

When the villagers heard that the team leader had returned, and that a tractor had followed him back, the whole village was in an uproar.

The entire brigade came out.

The entrance to the brigade headquarters was completely surrounded by people, and everyone was envious of the tractor being loaded with goods.

Huang Youqing jumped off the carriage and shouted to the able-bodied men in the village.

What are you all standing there for?

Come quickly and help carry the things into the brigade headquarters warehouse.

"Let me be gentle with you, these are the livelihoods of our village."

“I’m telling you to hurry up and move your things inside, and then each family should send a representative to the brigade headquarters for a meeting with me.”

Huang Youqing straightened his back at this moment, holding a pipe in his hand.

He was full of confidence, with a big smile and a rosy complexion.

Their production brigade could also earn extra money.

At least everyone can have a good New Year.

Although they were all feeling dizzy, none of the strong laborers spared any effort.

Everyone rushed forward, some lifting, some carrying.

When representatives from all the households in the village sat down in the brigade headquarters for a general meeting, they were braving the snow and the northwest wind to hold the meeting.

Their faces were flushed red from the cold wind, but not a single person failed to arrive.

This was the most important event for their production brigade.

Huang Youqing directly pushed Jiang Tiecheng forward.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Everyone in the brigade knows what's going on. We've received our production brigade's first order from the supply and marketing cooperative."

We're making quilts; we need to make 10,000 quilts within seven days.

"My goodness, 10,000 quilts! How much money will the team leader make from that?"

"Captain, all of us women can make quilts, so who doesn't know how to make a quilt?"

How many spots will the team leader's family get?

“Captain, I can do it. I can make four quilts a day. We don’t sleep at night. We can make quilts by the light of an oil lamp.”

"Captain, I can do it too."

Many people eagerly raised their hands, without even thinking about it; whoever did more would definitely earn more.

The members all understood this principle.

Huang Youqing waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Please be quiet for a moment. First, let me introduce Comrade Jiang Tiecheng, the leader of our village's processing mutual aid group."

This time, everyone was a little unconvinced when they saw Jiang Tiecheng, mainly because Jiang Tiecheng was an educated youth sent to the countryside, and the villagers had a natural aversion to these educated youth.

Moreover, the villagers saw these educated youth working on the construction site, and all the commune members were picky about them.

The educated youth had already been labeled as spoiled, young masters and young ladies, and incapable of doing any work.

Many people were dissatisfied when they saw that the production team leader had actually appointed Jiang Tiecheng as the leader of the processing group.

"Why did the team leader appoint a male educated youth as our processing group leader? Does he know how to make quilts or clothes?"

"Shouldn't the person in charge of our processing group be a woman?"

"If Captain Huang were to appoint his wife, the Women's Director, as our group leader, we would definitely accept it, but what about him?"

Let's just forget about it!

"Look at this kid, he's not even fully grown yet, how can he lead us women comrades?"

Many of the older women burst into laughter.

"Kid, if you become our team leader, can you keep us old women in check?"

"Kid, you probably don't even know how to make clothes? Those clothes of yours were probably made by your mother and sisters, weren't they?"

Many people joked about Jiang Tiecheng, saying that these village women clearly didn't care about meat or vegetables.

Most male educated youth who were easily embarrassed would probably blush with fear.

Unfortunately, they ran into Jiang Tiecheng, who had lived a long and eventful life and was not afraid of these old women.

He clapped his hands, and the sound of his clapping immediately silenced everyone, who all looked at Jiang Tiecheng with smiles.

This kid is able to stay calm, not turn against everyone, and isn't ashamed, which makes people look at him with more respect.

"Dear members, uncles, aunts, grandpas, grandmas, elders, and elder brothers, my name is Jiang Tiecheng."

I know everyone is unhappy that I'm the team leader, but I got this order, so it's perfectly legitimate for me to be the team leader.

If no one wants to take this order, of course you don't have to make me the team leader.

Jiang Tiecheng's words were blunt and showed no humility or politeness whatsoever; he was simply bullying them by abusing his power.

To put it bluntly, what this means is that if you want to take this order, you have to acknowledge me as your team leader; if you don't want to take this order, you don't have to acknowledge me as your team leader.

He had one face towards Xu Fengtian, but his actions towards the other members, including Jiang Tiecheng, were ruthless.

Jiang Tiecheng actually understood that these rural commune members didn't mean they looked down on rural people, but rather that these people lacked education.

Generally speaking, they are unreasonable.

If you're too polite and courteous to the other person here, the more you care about saving face, the more they'll take advantage of you.

Only when you act shamelessly and shamelessly can you intimidate the other party.

Otherwise, these old women are not easy to deal with, and there will be quality problems later.

He's just a young guy, he can't really control so many old women.

This is clearly a blatant act of dishonesty.

Let's see who's more shameless.

Jiang Tiecheng understood their mindset: everyone was short of food, they just needed a bite to eat, and nobody would turn down money.

Because of this, everyone has to obediently submit.

As expected, everyone's eyes immediately filled with dissatisfaction upon hearing this, and many of the older women glared at Jiang Tiecheng with ill intent.

The atmosphere was rather unfriendly, clearly tense and on the verge of conflict.

Jiang Tiecheng wanted to show kindness, but showing kindness doesn't mean he can manage this group of people.

This group of people is not easy to deal with, so this tactic must be used from the very beginning.

Otherwise, Jiang Tiecheng would rather not have these people as his backers.

If you can't control these people today, they will cause you all sorts of trouble in your future work.

If these old women really throw a tantrum and roll around on the ground, does that mean Jiang Tiecheng should go and beat them up?

Men are inherently wrong to hit women.

Moreover, if he beats up someone in the village, the whole village will stand up and attack him.

So today's ordeal is the first hurdle I have to overcome.
