Chapter 29 What if everyone in a village is engaged in speculation?
"Village chief, you have to make the decision for your grandson. He made a mistake, but it's all understandable. It's all the fault of that vixen Bai Jie. If she hadn't seduced my grandson, how could the child have made such a mistake..."
Zhou Yong: “…?”
How can you say that?
He looked at Old Lady Han and felt that he had learned a lot.
Without waiting for Li Baotian to respond, Old Lady Han spoke like a machine gun, with foam coming out of the corners of her mouth.
Li Baotian had not had a good rest to begin with, and his head was aching from the fussing of Old Lady Han, and he gradually showed signs of impatience.
"A fly won't bite an egg without cracks. If you had disciplined your grandson well, how could such a scandal have happened? Now that something has happened, why did you go to the brigade to make trouble instead of trying to solve the problem? What's the matter? Do you think that I, the village chief, am too easy to talk to? Or do you think that everything your grandson did is right..."
Li Baotian had already let Han Ergou off by not handing him over to the police station today, but old lady Han didn't know what was good for her and made a fuss in the morning and again in the afternoon.
Even a clay figure can still be a little angry, not to mention that Li Baotian is not a clay figure.
Being insulted by Li Baotian, Old Lady Han just blinked her eyes and said nothing, which made some people try to hold back their laughter.
Li Baotian frowned and said, "Go home and wait for the result. Don't go to the brigade if you have nothing to do. If you continue to make trouble, I will immediately send someone to send your grandson to the police station..."
Old Mrs. Han's face turned pale, and her arrogance instantly weakened.
She cried and said, "Village Chief, you can't do that, otherwise my grandson will have to squat on the fence..."
Li Baotian waved his hand impatiently. Old Mrs. Han wiped her eyes roughly and was helped back by Han Ergou's mother.
"Let's all go!"
Everyone walked out in groups of three or four, talking one after another. Li Baotian sighed and walked into the office with his hands behind his back.
With nothing exciting to watch, Zhou Yong went about his own business.
Just as Zhou Yong sat down on the stool, Cao Biao walked in leisurely with a frown on his face and a cigarette in his mouth.
"Lao Cao, what's wrong with you?"
Cao Biao took a puff of cigarette: "What's going on? The Han family has blocked my house..."
The Han family members are notoriously unreasonable and protective of their children, and each one is more difficult to deal with than the other.
As the captain of the security team, Cao Biao could not hit or scold the Han family. It was not because he was afraid of them, but mainly because they had not done anything wrong and he could not find any reason to attack them.
This led to the Han family going to the Cao family crying and begging for Han Ergou, but they didn't think about it: could Han Ergou be let off easily for the mistakes he made?
Besides, what Cao Biao said was right, and this matter needs to be discussed with Li Baotian.
After Zhou Yong listened to Cao Biao's complaints, the boy bared his teeth and smiled in a very unkind way.
Cao Biao glared at him and said, "Fuck, are you laughing like a chicken?"
Zhou Yong took off the key hanging around his waist, opened the drawer of his desk and took out the work record book.
"What's wrong with me laughing? Don't you want me to laugh?"
Cao Biao came to Zhou Yong's place to get some peace and quiet, and the two of them started arguing with each other.
"Brother Cao, when will we organize a hunt?"
Zhou Yong addressed Cao Biao casually, sometimes calling him Brother Cao and sometimes calling him Old Cao.
Cao Biao threw the cigarette butt at his feet and crushed it: "Let's talk about it after we deal with Han Ergou!"
The security team would occasionally organize villagers to go hunting in the mountains, mainly because they had homemade guns that could protect everyone's safety.
Zhou Yong said "oh" and nothing more. Cao Biao looked at him and asked, "What's wrong? Are you greedy?"
"Greedy? Only you can say that."
Cao Biao scratched his head: "What else?"
Zhou Yong said helplessly: "In your eyes, eating is more important than anything else."
Cao Biao chuckled and did not refute Zhou Yong's words.
Zhou Yong glanced at the door and lowered his voice: "Brother Cao, what do you think about our hunting and trafficking business?"
Cao Biao's expression gradually became serious, and he shook his head like a rattle: "Don't mess around. If you get caught, you will be in big trouble..."
It is indeed risky for one person to engage in speculation, but what if everyone in a village engages in speculation?
Zhou Yong had an immature idea in his mind and told Cao Biao about it, which left Cao Biao stunned.
Huaixi Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides and is full of treasures. However, due to the difficult mountain roads, many mountain products and game cannot be transported out.
Suppose we contact the relevant departments and sell wild game to them, wouldn't the villagers have an additional source of income?
In this way, it can't be considered as speculation, it can only be said that the whole village is working towards prosperity.
Cao Biao was stunned for a while before coming to his senses: "What's the difference between what you're doing and stealing the concept?"
Zhou Yong rolled his eyes at Cao Biao and said, "How did I change the concept?"
"You are just changing the concept. The whole village is engaged in speculation and profiteering. Aren't they all capitalists..."
Zhou Yong was almost losing his temper, and said patiently: "Lao Cao, it is 1970 now, not the 1950s and 1960s. Now we should focus on construction and economy, and make sure everyone has enough food to eat..."
Zhou Yong believes that it is unrealistic for families to live in the mountains for generations and to expect policies to guide them to become rich instead of trying to find ways to get rich on their own.
Moreover, Zhou Yong remembered that the winding mountain road still existed in Huaixi Village in his previous life until his death. Many families had moved away from here, and those who stayed behind were unable to work!
Cao Biao pursed his lips and thought about Zhou Yong's words.
"You are right. Nowadays, only a small number of families in the village can have enough food to eat. Other families have to tighten their belts to get by..."
Zhou Yong sighed, "That's true. Although Secretary Zhang promised to solve the problem of travel difficulties for our village, I don't know when it will be implemented..."
Cao Biao squinted his eyes and nodded continuously: "Damn it, even if the mountain is moved, it will take at least one or two years for the mountain to be moved..."
Zhou Yong nodded continuously: "Yes, so during this period, we can only find a way out on our own."
Cao Biao looked at Zhou Yong and asked, "Have you told the village chief about this?"
Zhou Yong shook his head, and Cao Biao lit a cigarette: "Talk to the village chief, I think your method is feasible..."
"Brother Cao, this is just my initial idea. It needs further planning. Once I have a plan, I will tell my father-in-law..."
Some things seem simple but are difficult to implement, especially for the more than 500 households in Huaixi Village.
Zhou Yong is not a rash person, nor is he someone who seeks fame and success.
The two chatted about this topic for a while, until Ma San came to find Cao Biao and Zhou Yong had time to look at the work record book.
Check the work records reported in the past few days one by one, and fill in the work points and work date under the name of the worker.
After finishing this matter, Zhou Yong frowned as he stared at the name of the worker who had reported an error.
The production team leader would count the work results every time, so even if there were mistakes, they would not be too serious.
The team leader clearly recorded in his notebook who worked for which family and whether it was one person or two people.
However, some people are taking chances and insist on reporting the work points of two people even though there is only one person working in the family.
Zhou Yong stood up with a wry smile, took the list and prepared to go to the production team leader to verify it first, and then go to the person involved to check it.
Everything is linked together, and no link can be ignored. Otherwise, when the work points are checked in the fall, if there is a discrepancy between the work points recorded in the brigade's work account book and those recorded by a family individually, the villagers may cause a commotion...
