Chapter 466 Giving Red Sausage is More Reliable Than Embroidery
Qin Jiu, a sincere man, lived a miserable life from then on.
Another person who received the same treatment was Yi Chichi. She went to the commune to meet the secretary with the team leader. Although she did not find any characteristics of Baoan County through the county annals, she still took on the task of designing hats.
There are twenty models in total, and she is only responsible for the design, while the secretary found someone else to be responsible for the production.
Two designs were produced on site, and the remaining eighteen designs need to be submitted before December.
This request was not difficult, and Yi hesitated to refuse.
The secretary then offered to pay for the design, but because the commune was poor and had almost no financial allocation, he could not offer a high price.
Only ten dollars for a design drawing, plus some receipts.
Twenty pieces are two hundred yuan.
This is actually a lot of money. Many workers only earn a little more than this after working for a year.
However, Yi did not ask for money for a long time, but only asked for the receipt, and the design fee was regarded as a contribution to the commune.
The secretary probably didn't expect her to refuse the design fee. After a brief pause, he asked, "Are you sure you don't want it?"
"I don't want the money, but I can't lose the bill."
She corrected sternly, “I’m short of votes.”
There is really no shortage of money.
The savings have now reached more than 20,000, not counting the money given by Wen's mother.
She will have income later, and two hundred yuan is more practical for the sake of fame than for the money.
"Also, you know, the commune distributes fertilizer after the spring."
She pointed at the captain, and her meaning was very clear.
The secretary and the team leader understood immediately. After they exchanged glances, the team leader grinned and patted Yi Chi Chi's shoulder with his big hand like a fan, "Good girl."
Before he finished speaking, he looked at the secretary and said, "Look, our girl has said so much, shouldn't you give her some approval?"
The secretary's mouth twitched. "Okay, after the spring comes, Kaoshantun will get more."
As he spoke, he took out two design drawings and looked at them again, then reminded Yi Chichi, "Remember, you must draw the remaining drawings carefully. Whether we can make this money to ease our financial difficulties depends on this cooperation."
"Don't worry, since I've accepted it, I'll definitely do my best!"
Thus, this topic reached a satisfactory result for all three parties.
Then, Yi Chichi put the thick stack of various bills given by the secretary into his pocket, said goodbye to the team leader and left the commune.
When passing by the post office, she ran to call Wen Shi, who answered the phone and said that he was out and his return date was uncertain.
Helplessly, Yi Chichi could only leave with disappointment.
On the way back, the captain asked her, "My dear, why did you refuse the two hundred yuan?"
“The commune has no money.”
She said succinctly, "Our family doesn't lack this little money. Leaving a good reputation in the commune will benefit Kaoshan Village."
"Besides,"
Turning her head to look at the team leader, she greeted him from the depths of her soul, "Uncle, don't you want to buy a new tractor for the team?"
I don’t know how many years the tractors in Kaoshantun were made, but they make noises everywhere, consume a lot of oil, and break down easily.
A breakdown during the busy farming season is truly fatal.
She didn't know how many times she had heard the team leader say that if there was a vacancy, she would replace this broken car.
"When the tractor quotas come out in the spring, you can talk to the secretary about it."
The team leader's eyes lit up, but then he thought about the quotas from previous years and felt despair. "It's too difficult. Every year, the major production brigades almost come to blows over tractor quotas. Kaoshantun at least has one, but some production brigades don't have any."
The implication is: even if the commune allocates quotas, it must be distributed closely to the brigades that do not have any.
Yi Chichi felt that he was not very smart. "There are few places, but we can change."
The captain finally reacted and blurted out, "Why are you so..."
He swallowed the word "evil" in the face of her murderous gaze. He smiled wryly and changed his words, "Smart!"
Without waiting for her to respond, he added softly, "Do you think it will work?"
“I don’t know, but I can try.”
After all, not every production brigade can afford to buy a tractor.
It’s useless to have a quota if you can’t pay.
The team leader thought it made sense and decided to wait until a quota came in before giving it a try.
It’s not free anyway, so they exchanged it for an old tractor.
Thinking of this, his mood improved and he even started singing a song.
The singing is loud and full of energy.
The lyrics were heroic, and Yi Chichi clapped his hands and praised him for his good singing.
As I walked, two figures appeared in front of me.
Yi Chichi felt that one of the figures looked familiar. He stared at Captain Tuitui for a long time and said, "Uncle, does the tall guy in front look like Tangtang?"
"Which sugar?"
She was wrapped up like a bear, so the captain didn't recognize her and was also unfamiliar with the name she said.
"Yu Rutang, your wife Aunt Ma's niece."
"Um?"
The captain made a puzzled sound, staring at the figure from left to right, but couldn't see how it looked like Yu Rutang. He wondered, "She's wrapped up like a bear and walks like a duck. How did you know she's my eldest niece?"
"Body shape, walking posture."
Yi Chizhi pointed to her eyes. Her eyesight was very good, so she couldn't have seen it wrong.
"Uncle, you can't count on me. If you don't believe me, just call me and you'll know if it's her."
Before she finished speaking, she shouted Yu Rutang at the top of her lungs.
The two people who were walking with difficulty in front stopped at the same time and turned to look over.
The distance between the two sides was much closer at this time. Yu Rutang's face, who had taken off his scarf, came into view. The captain exclaimed, "It's true."
He cracked the whip, and the dog pulling the sled sped up, arriving in front of Yu Rutang in a few moments.
"Uncle, Chi Chi, why are you here?"
Yu Rutang was pleasantly surprised, and the team leader smiled and said, "Chi Chi and I have something to do at the commune. Hurry up and come up with your friends. We're going home. It's freezing outside!"
It was indeed cold. In just a short while, Yu Rutang's face turned red after he took off his scarf.
She pulled a female comrade of about her age onto the sled, sat down next to Yi Chizhi, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, I can relax for a while."
"Why are you here at this hour?" It's freezing cold, wouldn't it be nice to stay at home and enjoy the heating?
"Come to see you."
Pointing to the friend he brought with him, Yu Rutang introduced the two of them before stating his purpose, "Qingru wants to buy an embroidery from you."
The captain's ears trembled, and he gently reminded, "You can buy it, but remember to hide it after buying it. I'm telling you this: if anything goes wrong, don't drag Chi Chi into it."
Yi Chichi was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, "Uncle, you are so good to me."
Yu Rutang was almost pissed off to death by her uncle, and said unhappily, "It seems that Chi Chi is your biological daughter, and I am your adopted niece, right, uncle?"
"That can't happen!"
The captain argued, "You and Chi Chi are close, but you also know that in today's embroidery environment, it's easy to get into trouble if you don't do it at the Friendship Store."
That's true.
Tang Qingru, the person involved, understood his concerns and explained, "It's not a private collection. It's a gift from someone stationed overseas who will come to the provincial capital next year."
The captain blurted out, "You can send red sausage, which is more reliable than embroidery."
It's not easy to get into trouble.
