Chapter 384 My Heart is in Turmoil
Although a major concern has been resolved, the family members' employment issues have been temporarily addressed.
But once he lay down on the bed, Commissar Lu, who should have felt completely relaxed, tossed and turned again, like a pancake.
Wang Lijuan kicked his butt twice, "If you can sleep, go to sleep. If you can't, go to the study and don't bother your mother."
With his wife in a bad mood, Political Commissar Lu had no choice but to put on his military overcoat and go to the study.
Outside the window, heavy snow was falling. This year's rain and snow were heavier than in previous years, and Political Commissar Lu's heart was more unsettled than on any other night.
Cen Yan's commendation is definitely necessary, and it should be published in the Liberation Daily, on the front page, to lavishly praise everything Cen Yan has done for the military families. We should also apply to higher authorities for a bonus and a banner.
But what troubled him even more was the sentence Wang Lijuan brought back—
If the organization allows it, Cen Yan can solve the employment problem for all the unemployed youth on Dongming Island.
He wasn't greedy for credit; he wanted to stay on the island with Wang Lijuan for the rest of his life, living an ordinary, unremarkable life as a political commissar.
But if another famine like in previous years strikes, will the national treasury's relief grain be delivered to the people of Dongming Island as soon as possible?
If supplies can't be delivered, will ordinary people still have money to buy grain?
"well……"
Commissar Lu came from a certain era; he had seen villagers die from eating clay and three-year-old children digging up grass roots on the mountain to fill their stomachs. As a person in a position of power, he did not have much ambition or desire.
I just hope that in my hometown, the people can have enough to eat and warm clothes, and that the elderly and children can all have smiles on their faces.
Dongming Island is different from cities like Blue City. It has nothing. The only factory is the military machinery factory, but the military machinery factory does not recruit people from outside because of the secrecy mechanism.
The only livelihood for ordinary people was the small plot of land owned by the production team and the catch from the sea; they truly depended on the weather for their livelihood.
The more Political Commissar Lu thought about it, the more confused he became. Finally, he picked up the phone in his study.
"Old Chief, please give me some advice. How should we proceed if we want to build a factory on Dongming Island? It's not that I want to do it, but the young men under my command are ambitious and capable, and they want to give the unemployed youth on the island some hope..."
Cen Yan had no idea that her words would have such a huge butterfly effect, shaking Political Commissar Lu's determination to "make an exception" for her in just one night, but that's another story.
She was so busy she barely had time to breathe, wishing she could stretch every minute into two. She was busy with things at the health center, arranging the handicrafts in the family compound, and storing the trench coats in the space.
During the day, she goes to work at the health center, and when she comes back at noon, she teaches some of her sisters-in-law how to make lipstick.
She had originally taught her first batch of "apprentices" and planned to have them train their own apprentices, passing on the process and methods of making lipsticks.
Unexpectedly, including Aunt Tang, the first batch of sisters-in-law were all busy staying at home making money and had no time to teach the second batch of sisters-in-law how to make lipstick.
Whether she was afraid of teaching her apprentice and starving herself, or was genuinely too busy to find the time, Cen Yan had no choice but to take matters into her own hands.
Since it was her idea to start a side business, she's bound to see it through to the end and teach her "disciples" everything.
That evening was the time Cen Yan and Tian Qi had agreed upon.
When she got off work, late at night, she went to find Tian Qi and handed him a thousand trench coats, asking him to deliver them to the supply and marketing cooperatives and the black market on the island.
One hundred trench coats will be given away at once, priced at thirty-five each. As for the commission, we'll settle it with Tian Qi later when we have some free time. In any case, these one thousand trench coats must be sold before the end of the year.
