None of the three people discussing this could have imagined that this very incident would lead to Wangjia Village's prosperity.
In the morning, Captain Wang exempted Lin Xiaoxiao from cutting pig feed, saying that as long as the contract was drafted, she would receive three work points.
Lin Xiaoxiao finished the temporary contract in an hour and revised it in a few minutes. After that, she relaxed and entertained herself in her space for two hours before taking the two contracts to the brigade so that everyone could take a look.
Everyone looked at the contract and exclaimed in admiration, praising Lin Xiaoxiao's talent.
Lin Xiaoxiao waved her hands repeatedly, thinking to herself, "This is all thanks to AI."
She only changed a few words inside.
"It's almost noon, so you and Han Zhiqing can come to my house for lunch today. Your aunt has already prepared the food." Captain Wang felt a sense of pride and excitement, as if he was helping everyone in the village to get rich.
Lin Xiaoxiao laughed. The matter wasn't even settled yet, and Captain Wang was already having a celebratory meal.
When the time came, the two went to Captain Wang's house together.
Along the way, Captain Wang asked them many questions.
"What do you think are the chances of this deal being signed?"
"It should be about 70% or 80%." Lin Xiaoxiao didn't make any absolute statements to Captain Wang, and casually added, "Uncle, how many people in the team know about this?"
"We need to handle this quietly. If others find out before it's done, we'll have a few more competitors."
After all, there are so many women who have married out of the area, and no one can guarantee that they won't go back to their own families and say something.
"I understand, I understand. There's a term called trade secret, and this is a secret for us."
"Yes."
"Don't worry, only a few of us village cadres know about these things. Nobody else knows. I haven't even told your aunt," Captain Wang said smugly.
He wasn't good at business, but he understood the underlying principles. This was similar to competing for resources within the commune; if the team knew the news first, the village could make preparations earlier.
They did things faster and better than others, so the commune's resources naturally became theirs.
Buying this fabric has the same meaning.
“That’s right.” Lin Xiaoxiao nodded from the side. The village chief is the village chief; he knows exactly what’s going on.
Soon they arrived at Captain Wang's house and saw Li Chunhua helping to kill a chicken.
Knowing that someone was coming to eat, Lin Xiaoxiao brought a piece of cured meat and some brown sugar, saying, "Auntie, thank you for your hard work at lunch today." As she spoke, she handed the food to Aunt Li.
Hearing this, Aunt Li pretended to be angry and pushed the things towards Lin Xiaoxiao, saying, "You child, you finally come to my house for a meal, why do you need to bring things?"
They brought all sorts of good stuff.
"We still have these things at home, you can take them."
After declining twice and realizing she couldn't refuse, Aunt Li finally accepted the items.
Looking at the large piece of cured pork with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, and the precious brown sugar, Lin Xiaoxiao brought a whole pound of it this time. Lin Xiaoxiao is really good to them and very generous.
Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to help Aunt Li in the kitchen, but Li Chunhua and the brigade leader pulled her to sit in the main room.
Captain Wang even brought out some tea leaves that he usually couldn't bear to drink.
The group chatted and talked over the fabric.
In the courtyard outside the main room, two children were playing while secretly watching Lin Xiaoxiao.
Why isn't the pretty lady in the kitchen helping her grandma cook?
If the pretty lady doesn't go into the kitchen, they won't be able to eat the food she cooks.
The two children played for a while, then whispered to each other, and finally started pushing each other.
But seeing their grandfather sitting there the whole time, no one dared to go up and talk to Lin Xiaoxiao.
Before their plan could even be finalized, Aunt Li was already calling for dinner.
"Dinner is ready. Everyone go wash your hands. No one who doesn't wash their hands should come to the table," Aunt Li said proudly.
Originally, their family didn't have the concept of washing hands before eating. After eating with Lin Xiaoxiao once or twice, everyone followed suit, and from then on, Captain Wang's family all had this rule when eating.
......
After the meal, the group packed their things and prepared to head to the county town.
Captain Wang visibly grew anxious.
He's been the team leader for so many years, and to be honest, apart from having some experience in farming, he doesn't know much about many things. He's never thought about increasing the village's income before.
After trying it twice, there was no effect.
In the village, families with better living conditions could dress a little warmer, but their clothes still had many patches. In the dead of winter, families with poorer living conditions would wear thin clothes layered on top of each other, and their pants would have holes in one side or another.
Those who could afford to wear socks were people with means; most people didn't have enough fabric to make socks.
How could he not be excited upon hearing this? Regardless of how much money he would make, these fabrics alone could help families without the means to survive the winter.
"What's wrong with you? You're just standing here blankly. Xiaoxiao and the others are waiting for you." Aunt Li asked him when she came out after finishing cleaning up the kitchen and saw that everyone's expressions were off.
"What are you doing there? Why are you making such a fuss?" Aunt Li asked curiously.
Captain Wang was about to tell Aunt Li about this when he realized it was best not to say anything before things were settled. He trusted his wife, and he was afraid she might let something slip or that someone might overhear.
After speaking with Aunt Li, Captain Wang hurried towards the village entrance.
Fearing that a slow pace would cause delays, they used the team's tractor for this trip.
We arrived in the county town at 2:30 p.m.
When Feng Yu saw Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Qiushi, her initial worry instantly vanished.
Lin Xiaoxiao and the others did not go directly to the textile factory, but went to Feng Yu's house first.
"You've come today..." Feng Yu greeted them with a smile and warmly welcomed the three of them into her home.
"Aunt Feng, this is Captain Wang from our village, who is also the village chief." Lin Xiaoxiao introduced the two of them first.
After getting to know each other, Lin Xiaoxiao went straight to the point and said, "This morning, the village secretary went to the commune and said that the commune supports our village in doing this, and that we can talk about any areas where we need to cooperate."
"I wonder how Aunt Feng is doing?"
"We're still discussing it with the factory manager. Everyone's vying for the deputy factory manager position, right? There's always that troublemaker who tries to cause trouble," Feng Yu said, embarrassed.
