Chapter 102 A Joyous Event

The threshing floor was soon filled with people.

Everyone stared at the team leader and village chief, who were grinning from ear to ear, completely bewildered. They had no idea what had made them so happy.

Duan Jianhua was overjoyed.

He never expected that such a joyous event would happen during his ten years in office; it was truly a shining achievement on his resume!

"Quiet down! Listen to me!"

He pulled out a large megaphone from behind him, turned the volume up to the maximum, and excitedly shouted it out, almost deafening the villagers across the way who were whispering with their heads down.

The noisy scene instantly quieted down, and everyone looked at their once most calm and composed captain in surprise, wondering what had gotten into him this time.

Seeing that they had finally quieted down, Duan Jianhua nodded in satisfaction. His newly grown buzz cut, just one centimeter long, made him look much younger.

"Today, I received a document from higher up: a new factory is going to be built here! It's a factory specifically for producing glass, and each family in our village will have three slots..."

Before he could finish speaking, the people below erupted in disbelief, their eyes wide as if they had heard something utterly unbelievable.

"Captain, did you get blown silly by the wind after you went out? This place is all mountains and rivers, and all the flat land we have is used to grow crops. Where are we going to build a factory? In the sky!"

"Exactly! It might be possible in Tiger Village, which is just a neighboring village. They have a lot of land and are far from the mountains. How could it be possible in our remote mountain village?"

"Exactly! We have plenty of mountains, rivers, and wild animals here, but not much land. Want to build a factory? Forget about it!"

"Build a factory? There's not even room for a pigsty! How can you build a factory?"

Duan Jianhua's face darkened.

This year's members are hopeless. Why do they keep poking at their own weaknesses, as if they're afraid of making themselves sick?

"Alright! Can you let me finish what I'm saying? Besides, what's wrong with mountains? There are plenty of factories in the mountains!"

Upon hearing this, several elderly women who were watching the commotion rolled their eyes at him.

Are they preventing him from speaking?

What he said is a bit outrageous! What kind of factory is that? It's a mining factory!

Even those who go to the countryside to exchange tofu don't want to pass through this remote mountain village, complaining that it's too remote and difficult to get to.

Are those officials out of their minds? Why do we have to fight them to the death?

Duan Jianhua took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

Don't get angry, don't get angry. This is one of our own members. If you scold him, he'll scold you back. The key point is, he can't win the argument.

"It's true! The province issued a document today, and even the production machinery has been transported to the county seat. They're just waiting to come here to survey the terrain and select a factory site!"

Seeing that no one believed him, Duan Jianhua almost vomited blood.

The village chief quietly puffed on his old pipe, amused by the brat's outburst of anger. Only when the boy was about to unleash his curses did the chief slowly wave his old pipe and speak with a smile.

“What your captain said is true. I was also notified to attend a meeting today to discuss this matter.”

Seeing that even the village chief had come out to explain, everyone had no choice but to believe it, even if they couldn't.

The village chief is an old man in the village, he certainly wouldn't lie to them.

Thinking of this, we looked at each other, and after a long while, we jumped up with a loud "whoosh."

"It's true! It's really true! A factory is going to be built here!"

It wasn't the Qingshan Brigade, known for being the wealthiest, nor the Qinghe Brigade, which had the largest population, but rather the Hongqi Brigade, where their village of Malutun was located!

Everyone went crazy and swarmed around her, bombarding her with questions.

"Zuo Zuo, why would a factory be set up here? This isn't a suitable location. Aren't the higher-ups afraid of losing money?"

Gu Zuozuo turned her gaze away from the distance and quietly put the origami crane that had quietly flown to her side into her palm.

"Since the higher-ups have made this decision, they must have their reasons. You and Mengmeng should just sign up. They should be recruiting educated youth with high levels of education. You and Mengmeng are both high school graduates, so your chances are very good."

She just didn't expect it to be a glass factory.
