Jiang Tiecheng thought this made sense, and he wouldn't object if the educated youth were willing to join.

Although he didn't have close contact with the other educated youth at the settlement, it was still necessary to maintain some interaction there.

"Welcome! Of course, we welcome educated youth to join us. I just haven't had a chance to inform our educated youth yet!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ruixue's face lit up with joy; she wanted to be with Jiang Tiecheng.

Only the feeling of fighting side by side can keep me from feeling lost, otherwise Jiang Tiecheng would always be a million miles away from me.

She heard everything that happened in the production team today; everyone was laughing at Jiang Tiecheng.

She was determined to help Brother Jiang solve his problem.

No one can bully my Brother Jiang.

"Alright, I'll go and call the educated youth over for a meeting now."

Chen Ruixue left in high spirits, not giving Jiang Tiecheng a chance to say anything more. Jiang Tiecheng swallowed back the words he was about to say.

An hour later, Chen Ruixue led a dozen or so people to Jiang Tiecheng's dugout.

Upon seeing these people, Jiang Tiecheng immediately realized that they were all familiar faces; it turned out that the people who went to work on the construction site were their group.

Looking at it this way, it's clear that those people were all waiting to see Jiang Tiecheng make a fool of himself; nobody wanted to do this job.

Actually, Jiang Tiecheng didn't need these people, but since Chen Ruixue brought it up, he felt embarrassed to refuse.

However, it seems that some people still don't quite understand their own situation.

"Brother Jiang, I'm so sorry!"

They, they...they're all not coming.

They not only didn't say anything harsh, they threw out a whole string of hurtful things.

It's almost as if Jiang Tiecheng himself took on a bunch of messy things, and then dragged the educated youth along to clean up his mess.

In short, those words were simply unbearable to hear.

Jiang Tiecheng knew it immediately, and said with a smile,

"Everyone, if you'd like to go to the production brigade to make quilts, then join us."

However, let's make it clear beforehand that this is the only opportunity.

Once you've decided to join, you can't back out. If you haven't thought it through, go back and think it over before giving me an answer. This is your only chance; you'll never get another one.

Everyone nodded immediately.

"Old Jiang, how could we not trust you?"

Now the educated youth group is clearly divided into three factions. One faction is the group of eighty or ninety educated youth led by He Junsheng.

The other group consists of the twenty-odd educated youth who had worked on the construction site with Jiang Tiecheng.

The rest were a group of middle-of-the-roaders who had neither worked on construction sites nor joined He Junsheng and his group in causing trouble.

It's a clear distinction.

They had worked under Jiang Tiecheng, so they naturally knew his capabilities.

Since Jiang Tiecheng was able to organize this mission, he must have some ability.

People with real skills are willing to work hard.

Of course, they had also heard the rumors circulating in the production team today.

But for them, it doesn't matter whether this matter succeeds or fails.

At most, it would only mean losing a few days' worth of labor, but if they succeeded, they could make money.

Buy more food to get through the winter.

If the loss is negligible for them, then Jiang Tiecheng will bear the responsibility.

In the end, no one suffered any losses, which was the purpose of these people's visit.

Everyone assured each other that they would not give up halfway.

Jiang Tiecheng registered the names of these people and arranged to go to the brigade headquarters together to work the next day.

You definitely need to train some of your own people among the educated youth. These people have all worked on construction sites with you and have a certain relationship with you.

Jiang Tiecheng couldn't possibly fight this alone, so he was very willing to do it.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, after everyone had breakfast, they went to the brigade headquarters with Jiang Tiecheng.

When they arrived at the brigade headquarters, Sister-in-law Huang immediately understood what was going on when she saw these people.

All day long, the brigade headquarters was still full of people working.

The remaining 150 people, seeing that the new recruits were all educated youth, naturally didn't say much.

This morning when everyone arrived, they had a private chat and, behind Jiang Tiecheng's back, they came up with a plan.

If things continue at the current pace, their 150-person team should have no problem getting those 10,000 quilts.

On average, each person can earn 8 to 10 yuan.

Seven days is no small number.

They absolutely couldn't let anyone else snatch such a windfall, so they made a deal.

Everyone kept their mouths shut and no one spread this kind of thing.

The day's work went as expected. With Zhu Yu's example from yesterday, things went much more smoothly today, and everyone cooperated seamlessly.

Moreover, in order to work a little more, everyone was reluctant to go home for lunch. Instead, their families would bring them food, even if it was just a piece of bread to tide them over.

The educated youth originally thought this job would be more difficult than they had imagined, but they found out after they arrived.

If you don't know how to sew, you can lay down cotton.

Even for clumsy, big men like them, laying cotton is a much easier task.

The other female educated youths also became close friends with these older women.

The day's progress was quite fast. By the time it got dark and everyone was allowed to go home and rest, they had completed a total of 1,800 items that day.

This was something they hadn't anticipated.

After finishing their work, everyone signed their name in the scorebook and went back to calculate how much money they could earn that day.

Jiang Tiecheng calculated that 1800 could be completed in about six days.

There are no problems with the progress.

In short, everything is going very smoothly so far.

Three days passed quickly like this.

The villagers who were waiting for Jiang Tiecheng to back down and beg them to come back to work couldn't sit still any longer.

Who could possibly sit still?

I originally thought Jiang Tiecheng could only hold out for a day or two before he would have to come begging to come to me.

If everyone works hard, they can earn money anyway.

But to everyone's surprise, there was no movement from Jiang Tiecheng's side for three days.

Those who actually do the work still leave early and return late.

They went out early and came back late at night, and even delivered food to each household around noon.

With this in mind, the remaining people who couldn't go to work immediately understood.

They were fooled!

If others can't meet the deadline, these people will go crazy, listening to Jiang Tiecheng's words every day and working so diligently.

On the morning of the fourth day, when Jiang Tiecheng arrived at the entrance of the brigade headquarters, he found that 80 people had completely blocked the entrance.

Huang Youqing stood there with a stern face, watching these people who were pulling at their captain and crying.

"Captain, you can't abandon us in this matter!"

"Captain, you have to say something! This money-making business can't just be done by a few people in the village. What about the rest of us?"

How are we going to get through this winter?

"My dog ​​is so hungry he can't even walk, and the team leader can't even afford to eat."
