Chapter 31 Get rich? How to get rich?
Li Caiyun thought hard but couldn't find any good hints. Finally, she gave up and decided to wait for Zhou Yong to take the initiative...
After all, she had tried to get Zhou Yong to come to her before and was rejected very straightforwardly. This time, she didn't dare to take the initiative, fearing that she would be rejected again...
Li Caiyun's face flushed and her heart was beating like a deer as she thought about those things. Zhou Yong, who was standing beside her, was still daydreaming while hugging his young wife and didn't notice her abnormality at all.
After a while, Li Caiyun fell asleep due to her random thoughts, and Zhou Yong's mind was full of the channels for selling wild game and mountain products.
Selling wild game in an individual's name is considered speculation, so he can only discuss the matter with the leaders of relevant departments in the name of the village.
Zhou Yong went over the incident over and over in his mind, and before he knew it he fell asleep.
He had countless dreams that night, and when he opened his eyes it was already half past four.
Zhou Yong looked beside him and found that Li Caiyun was no longer there. He stretched, sat up slowly and put on his clothes.
After folding the bedding and placing it on the pile, he picked up the feather duster, bent down and swept the kang, then Zhou Yong got up and left the west room.
When he came out, Zhang Guifang was making breakfast and Li Caiyun was sitting in front of the stove door, pulling the blower to make a fire.
Zhou Yong went out to relieve himself, and when he came back he did not rush back into the house, but picked up a broom and swept the yard.
Without waiting for him to finish sweeping the yard, Li Baotian rushed out of the house in a hurry.
Li Baotian ran towards the back garden as soon as he walked out of the door. His speed was so fast that Zhou Yong couldn't help but smile.
It was obvious that Li Baotian was awakened by the urge to urinate, otherwise he would not have been like this.
Li Baotian, who had let the water out, came to the front yard with a relieved look on his face. Zhou Yong placed the broom under the wall of the warehouse.
“It’s a nice day today.”
Li Baotian looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.
Zhou Yong came to his father-in-law and said, "Dad, I want to tell you something."
Li Baotian looked at his son-in-law with curiosity in his eyes: "What's the matter?"
Zhou Yong didn't beat around the bush with Li Baotian and talked to him about selling wild game and mountain products.
The more Li Baotian listened, the more frightened he became. By the time Zhou Yong finished speaking, he was already in a daze.
"Dad, what do you think of my suggestion?"
Li Baotian came back to his senses and looked at Zhou Yong. How could he describe his feelings? It was complicated, but at the same time he felt that this was a way out for the villagers.
It’s just that it’s a bit difficult to make this happen, and I need to go and discuss it with the leaders of the relevant departments myself.
It is not easy for an ordinary citizen to meet the county leader unless someone introduces him.
Li Baotian went over the matter in his mind and said, "Your proposal is very good and deserves praise. But have you ever thought about how to meet the leader and how to convince the leader..."
Zhou Yong has thought about all these things. Although he knows that there are many difficulties, no one can predict the final result unless he gives it a try.
If this is accomplished, the biggest beneficiaries will be the villagers of Huaixi Village. Of course, everything Zhou Yong did was first and foremost based on his own interests.
If the situation hadn't forced him, he wouldn't have done these unnecessary things.
It’s not that Zhou Yong has no sympathy, it’s just that some people have always disliked him. No matter what he does, there will always be people finding fault with him.
But how easy is it to make a fortune quietly in this era?
"Dad, no one knows the final result unless you try, so I want to give it a try."
Li Baotian pondered for a few seconds and said, "We can try it then, but we need to hold a meeting to discuss it."
The plan proposed by Zhou Yong is beneficial to the entire Huaixi Village. Even so, as the village chief, he needs to listen to the opinions of the village cadres.
After all, people's hearts are hidden. If things are done well, everyone will be happy. If things are not done, Li Baotian is afraid that someone will blame Zhou Yong.
Some people are like this. When they get benefits, they have one face, and when they don't, they have another face. Li Baotian has been the village chief for more than ten years and he knows the temperament of some people in the village well.
Zhou Yong thought about it and nodded: "Dad, I want to participate in this meeting."
He was the one who proposed the plan, and if he encountered opponents, he knew how to convince them.
Li Baotian frowned and looked at Zhou Yong: "Okay, then you can explain the process in detail to everyone..."
Zhou Yong nodded, and Zhang Guifang, wearing an apron, stood at the door and called them into the house to wash their faces and eat.
Breakfast consisted of millet porridge, mixed flour steamed buns, heated up leftovers from last night, and two kinds of pickled vegetables.
Just as the family of four was about to start eating, Lao Gao came in with luggage on his back and a lot of things in his hands.
Li Baotian hurried down to the ground: "Lao Gao, have you eaten?"
Lao Gao was in high spirits: "Village Chief, I have eaten and came to say goodbye to you."
Li Baotian smiled and nodded: "You are so thoughtful, and I wish you a safe journey."
Lao Gao bowed deeply to Li Baotian, and tears welled up in his eyes the moment he raised his head.
"Village Chief, thank you for taking care of me over the years, and thank you for giving me this opportunity to return home..."
Ever since he learned that he had been allocated a quota to return home, Lao Gao has been unable to sleep or eat.
He was suffering like an ant on a hot pan every day, fearing that he would not get the opportunity to return home.
Although the waiting process made him physically and mentally exhausted, the final result made him get what he wanted.
Li Baotian hurriedly helped Lao Gao up: "No, I can't bear it. Your contribution to the village is obvious to all. If you were not in a hurry to go back, I would like to hold a farewell party for you..."
This was what he really thought, but Lao Gao was worried about his seriously ill mother, and Li Baotian couldn't keep him.
Lao Gao smiled: "Take care, Village Chief. I will come back to see you when I have the chance..."
Li Baotian sent Lao Gao out of the house, and Zhang Guifang turned and looked out the window.
"Lao Gao finally got his wish after all the hardship."
Zhang Guifang muttered to herself, and neither Li Caiyun nor Zhou Yong responded.
It was a while before Li Baotian came back. He took off his shoes, got on the kang, and ate his breakfast while sighing from time to time.
The meal ended with Li Baotian expressing his emotion. After the meal, Li Caiyun and her daughter cleaned up the dishes, while Zhou Yong and his father-in-law went to the brigade.
The first thing Li Baotian did when he arrived at the brigade was to go to the broadcasting room and inform the villagers that Lao Gao had left.
Bai Jie, who was locked in a small dark room, heard the broadcast and started whimpering like crazy.
Unfortunately, she was tied up like a dumpling with her mouth blocked. Even though she was unwilling, her struggle was in vain.
After reporting on Lao Gao’s situation, Li Baotian immediately notified the village cadres to come to the brigade for a meeting.
After finishing these two things, Li Baotian left the broadcasting room, stood in the brigade yard with his hands behind his back and his eyes narrowed, looking towards the gate.
Zhou Yong was in his own office processing the work list that Li Ming had given him yesterday. It was nearly seven o'clock when all the village cadres arrived one by one.
Normally Zhou Yong would not be present at such meetings. The production team leader Dong Fu was the last one to arrive. When he saw Zhou Yong was there, he frowned and sat down.
"Village head, what is the topic of the meeting?"
Li Baotian cleared his throat and glanced across Zhou Yong's face: "The theme of the meeting is getting rich."
After he finished speaking, everyone except Zhou Yong looked at each other in confusion.
Accountant Sun took out a cigarette pouch from his pocket and placed it on the table, then took out another pipe, filled it with cigarettes and lit it.
"Get rich? How do you get rich?"
This was asked by Dong Fu, and everyone else pricked up their ears.
