When Qin's father took the plan to the commune to find the leader, Shen Annian asked him to bring two mooncakes, intending to let the leader taste them.
Only by understanding their products can the success rate be higher.
Apart from Qin's father and mother and Shen Annian, no one else in the family knew about the plan to set up a factory.
Ever since Qin's father left for the commune, his mother had been looking forward to his return. She would often look towards the gate, muttering, "Why hasn't he come back yet? He's been gone for too long."
Shen Annian couldn't help but persuade her, "Mom, you don't have to worry so much, just sit for a while."
"I can't sit down right now."
Setting up a factory is such a big deal, how could she not be worried?
After looking at the door for a long time, I finally saw Qin's father.
Mother Qin has been married to Father Qin for over thirty years, and it can be said that not a single subtle expression of his escapes her eyes. As soon as she sees the expression on Father Qin's face, she knows that the matter is settled.
"Has the factory project been completed?"
Qin's father's face was full of excitement. "It's done. The commune leader also gave me 100 yuan, saying it's capital for setting up a factory."
Mother Qin slapped her thigh excitedly, "This is really great."
Now that the village can set up a factory, will they in Dahe Village still have to worry about having a good life in the future?
"Where is our factory located?"
"There's an unoccupied house at the east end of the village, and there aren't many things in it. When the time comes, ask someone to move the things out and make room for the factory there."
"That place is so dilapidated, can it be done?"
The house originally belonged to an old man in the village. Later, the old man passed away and no one lived in the house anymore.
The house has been exposed to wind and sun over the years and is in disrepair. It no longer looks like a factory.
"Let's make do with this for now. When we make money in the future, we can build a house and a factory. We don't have money yet, so this is the only way.
The secretary also gave our factory a name, Red Star Food Factory. What do you think of this name?
When Qin's mother heard it, she thought it was a good idea. It sounded loud and clear, and it had red ink on it, so it was sure to be prosperous in the future.
The corners of Shen Annian's mouth twitched. It really was a name that was characteristic of the times.
"That's a good name."
"I think this name is pretty good." Father Qin thought of something and said to Shen Annian, "Why do you let me be the factory director? You are busy with so many things, why don't you be the factory director yourself?"
He didn't look carefully at the documents Shen Annian handed over.
It wasn't until the secretary told him that he knew Shen Anyan had given him the position of factory director.
He never expected this result. He thought Shen An Nian was busy running around and would definitely leave him a position as factory director.
But she doesn't even want to be the factory manager, so why is she doing all this?
Shen An Nian saw what he hadn’t said, and said with a smile: “Dad, whether you believe it or not, my original intention of setting up this factory was for the good of everyone, not to become the factory director.
As long as the factory can be established, I don’t mind it.”
"Why me? I...I've never done this before. I don't know if I can do it well."
"Dad, there's no precedent for running a factory in our village, so the factory director must be able to control people so that they will obey.
You are the most suitable person to be the factory director."
Father Qin was a little excited to suddenly get the title of factory director, but he was more worried. He was afraid that he could not bear the responsibility.
He has never been such a high-ranking official, hasn't he? He has seen it all before. The factory directors in the town are all high-ranking officials, and each one of them is very powerful.
He himself has little education and can only recognize a few words.
Being a team leader is also a position that everyone respects. As a team leader, he needs to organize everyone to work, which is different from being a factory director.
He really has no confidence in becoming such a high-ranking official.
"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I can't read or do accounting. You've handed over such a large factory to me. Do you think I can make it work?"
"If you can't read, then learn. I'll tell Sui Sui to teach you how to read and write starting tomorrow."
Father Qin was shocked by her. "What? I'm already this old, and I still need to study?"
"As the saying goes, you never stop learning. Dad, how old are you now? Why can't you study?"
Mother Qin gloated at the side, "That's right, studying is so good. You can read and write. Who knows, you might even be more sensible in the future."
Father Qin glared at Mother Qin. The old woman actually laughed at him.
The next moment, Mother Qin stopped smiling, and the smile shifted to Father Qin's face, because Shen Anyan also planned to let Mother Qin learn to read.
Mother Qin's smile froze on her face. "I won't learn it. I'm not going to be the factory manager."
"Mom, you're not the factory director, but you're the director's wife, right? We have to keep up with the times and make progress together.
It’s not just you two who need to learn, your eldest sister-in-law and second sister all have to learn together.”
Wow, she brought all the family members to study with her, without leaving anyone behind.
Seeing that she was not willing to negotiate, Qin's mother had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, then let's learn."
"That's right. Learning to read isn't a bad thing. Even if you can't pursue academic studies, at least you can read books and newspapers and learn about national policies in the future. It will benefit everyone."
Qin's father was immediately motivated by her.
Before leaving, the secretary patted him on the shoulder and told him to work hard. When he thinks about it now, he still feels his blood boiling.
He must run the factory well and expand it, and not let the secretary down.
He will definitely be able to overcome such a small difficulty as reading and writing.
In exchange for fifty cents a month, Shen Anyun let Shen Anyui teach everyone to read and write.
When my eldest sister-in-law and her friends heard that they had to learn to read and write, they were very surprised and worried that they would not be able to learn well.
When they learned that Qin's father and mother also wanted to study together, they were so surprised that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
Mother Qin was displeased when she saw their expressions. "What do you mean, your father and I can't study?"
"No, mother, that's not what we mean."
"If that's not what you mean, then study hard. If you can't even beat me and your father, I don't think you have any dignity left."
If even Qin's father and mother joined in the study, they would have to study hard.
In the evening, Qin's father asked the villagers to gather at the threshing ground and told everyone that the village was going to build a factory. Everyone was so happy to hear that.
Being able to work in a factory is everyone's dream these days. Who would have thought that a factory would be opened in their village?
Everyone's enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high. They were busy working during the day, and after work they went to clean up the warehouse. They cleaned up the warehouse in one day.
Some villagers took out white flour and the eggs they had saved with great difficulty from their homes to exchange for money, and some villagers had already started going up the mountain to hunt.
This amount of stuff was naturally not enough, so Shen An Nian asked Qin's father to send people to various villages to collect white flour, as well as eggs, lotus seeds, red beans and other things.
She herself took Brother Qin and Sister-in-law Qin, as well as the prepared things, to Heng City to promote their products.
