Chapter 181 Everyone Supports
The news of raising chickens spread and quickly gained support from the villagers.
This immediately ensured everyone's interests were protected. It didn't cost much to buy a chick.
There is no need to raise it carefully. When it grows up, it can lay eggs and can be slaughtered and eaten during the Chinese New Year.
The villagers think Lu Xiang is good.
When I used to praise Lu Xiang for her promising future, I was just being polite. Deep down, I still felt she was still young. Now, I was completely impressed by her.
Others didn't fight for their interests in this way. This matter still depends on Lu Xiang, who built a vegetable greenhouse and allowed them to raise chickens. The villagers saw that life was getting better and better.
A few women in the village gathered together to chat and said, "Look at how great Baijia Village was in the past. They even bought tractors. How is it now? They just wander around our village when they have nothing to do!"
"We have greenhouses for vegetables, and their land is good, but it's useless without experts."
"I heard that the professors were all invited by Lu Xiang. Oh my god, if I were to talk to anyone else, I'd be scared to death!"
"That's why you can't be a cadre."
"I don't know whether Lu Xiang's baby is a boy or a girl. I plan to give her a generous gift later."
They now also discovered that Lu Xiang was lucky and could take them with her if she soared to the sky.
Others said, "Of course I've prepared it a long time ago. I'll give the baby some small clothes when he's born." This thing doesn't cost much fabric, and mothers will like it.
"It needs thick, soft cloth. This child's body is very delicate."
"I know!" Everyone sighed. This child was truly blessed, having been born in Lu Xiang's belly. For other children in the village, new clothes were a luxury, as they all picked up leftovers from others.
After she mentioned this, the others also planned to become wives, after all, the villagers were good at needlework.
…
That evening, the village chief was chatting with the women's director at home and said, "Lu Xiang is quite smart!"
Lu Xiang used to have little presence in the village.
The village chief now believes Lu Xiang's words. Sometimes when he has made up his mind, he wants to talk to Lu Xiang about it.
Although Lu Xiang was very young, he felt that she could understand.
When the women's director said this, the village chief sighed and said, "Yes!"
Lu Xiang's suggestion is a good one. Let each family raise an extra chicken, and everyone can benefit.
The women's director also praised Lu Xiang: "She can move around freely in the county." Unlike her, she is fine in the village, but becomes helpless when she arrives in the county.
She talked for a long time, but the village chief didn't respond. The women's director looked back and saw that her husband was not asleep either, and she didn't know what he was thinking in his eyes.
The women's director asked, "Hey, what are you doing?"
Her voice startled the village chief, who recovered after a long while and said, "I didn't do anything!"
When the director of women's affairs saw him like this, she became worried and said, "Hurry up and tell me."
The village chief said, "We're going to elect village representatives soon. It's mainly because we have to go to the county for meetings and so on. I'd like to choose Lu Xiang, but Lu Xiang is giving birth next year, so it's not very convenient. So I can't choose anyone else."
Most of the villagers are like them, capable but not good at speaking. When they go out to attend meetings, they are like ostriches, burying their heads in the sand.
Not to mention showing yourself and showing up in front of your leaders.
Lu Xiang is the best candidate.
The village chief simply sat up from the bed. The director of women's affairs was his wife, not an outsider.
The village chief said, "I wish I could leave the position of village chief to her. After seeing how Lu Xiang works, I see that others are far inferior to her."
The women's director said, "Yes, she's going to give birth next year, and it's her first child, so we'd better be careful. How about this, you choose some young people from the village."
After the women's director said this, the village chief raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"
The women's director said, "I've come to realize that even at our age, our brains aren't as sharp as theirs. For example, we can't think of things like building a vegetable greenhouse."
What she meant was that the criteria for selecting cadres in the future will gradually include selecting young people.
The people in the village are still too conservative. For example, when Lu Xiang didn't mention raising chickens, no one thought about it.
When I mentioned it, I realized that I could do it this way.
"Yeah!" The village chief nodded. "It's because these young people have no experience!"
The director of women's affairs said, "If they don't have experience, let them practice more. Everyone has gone through this."
After saying this, the village chief nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing that he was still thinking, the director of women's affairs felt a little distressed: "You are really dedicated to the public, and you have aged a lot."
The vegetables in their village are now sold wholesale, supplied by several factories.
Sales are not as good as before, but with the snow these days, sales are a little higher.
Each factory can earn at least three hundred yuan a day from orders.
The whole village never thought we could earn so much. A while ago, we distributed the first installment of money to the professors, 5,000 yuan, and the professors were very happy.
This money can allow them to rebuild the laboratory and cultivate some valuable seeds, as research also costs money.
This is just the first round of distribution, there will be more to come. Who would have thought?
The village chief said, "It won't be long before our village can buy a tractor."
I originally went for the tractor, and now that the business is getting better and better, I think it would be best to buy one in the spring.
The director of women's affairs said, "It's like a dream."
The village chief used to say these things all the time, but the women's director scoffed at him, thinking he was daydreaming. How much did a tractor cost?
The Baijia Village has a rich heritage and can afford this. How can an ordinary village afford such a thing?
But now the dream has come true and there is hope of buying a tractor.
…
It was snowing outside, and the house was warm, so warm that it made people want to doze off.
Lu Xiang is waiting in the room now and has not gone to bed yet.
Suddenly, she heard a slight noise outside. Lu Xiang immediately put on her clothes and came out, and saw Fu Qinhui coming back.
Fu Qinhui had thick snow on his shoulders, so he could only take a bus to another village and then walk over.
It takes at least half an hour. When it's snowing and icy outside, walking for ten minutes is enough to make your hands and feet cold.
As soon as Lu Xiang came out, Fu Qinhui immediately whispered, "Why are you here? Go back quickly."
Lu Xiang asked, "How are you?"
Fu Qinhui quickly hugged Lu Xiang and went into the house.
After coming back, Lu Xiang held his hand, which made her tremble a little because his hand was so cold.
Fu Qinhui immediately withdrew his hand: "I'll take a break first, let the cold air in my body dissipate before going over."
