That evening, after the team leader finished the meeting, he went home and kept planning how to buy tractors and how to repair the roads.
How should it be fixed?
Where should the repairs go?
These are all issues he needs to consider.
How much will this cost?
It breaks my heart!
He felt his heart was bleeding; this was a considerable expense.
How much money has the third brother earned? Is he planning to spend it all on the brigade?
To be honest, Ningning is really generous; this would be something any other woman in the village would do.
When a family has money, everyone tries to keep it a secret, but these people are different.
They also repaired roads for the brigade.
He wrote a report overnight, intending to submit it the next day.
With the approval from above, things like cement and gravel are much easier to handle.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to handle such a large quantity in a short time.
Zhang Guihua had already taken a nap and woken up, but he was still burning the midnight oil: "What time is it? Why aren't you asleep? Don't get agitated."
"You'll have a good life from now on. If you keep doing this every day, do you even need to live like this?"
The captain chuckled and said, "I was just too excited. I didn't want the tractor guy to take care of things either."
"But I need to think carefully about how to repair this road and how long it should be."
Zhang Guihua nodded: "Although the third brother agreed to repair the road, you can't go too far."
"That's good enough. Aren't you going to submit the report tomorrow?"
"Let's see if we can get some kind of subsidy or something?"
"That way, the third son will have to pay less."
"It's not easy for the three of them, Lao San and his wife, to earn money."
"There are risks involved. We've made money now, but what if we lose money?"
The captain closed his notebook, took off his shoes, and went to bed.
"Tomorrow I'll plead poverty and see if I can get some money approved. Everything's tough right now."
The captain sighed, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.
He didn't sleep for long; he woke up at the crack of dawn.
He woke Zhang Guihua up and asked her to cook something. After he ate, he set off for the commune.
After he finished his business, he wanted to come back and discuss how to start repairing the road.
We can't afford to delay things.
After arriving at the commune, he reported the situation in the team and even wrote a report on it.
When the staff in the commune heard about this, they immediately took the brigade leader to see the commune secretary.
The Party Secretary said, "This is a good thing, and a big one. I will report it online. Just wait for the news!"
The captain nodded, handed in all the materials he had written, and went back.
He just went back like that!
He didn't go home, but went straight to find Huo Junshan.
"Third brother, I went to the commune today. The commune said it's a good thing and we need to report it online. I wonder if we can get some money approved."
Huo Junshan was surprised that the brigade leader had gone to the commune so soon!
"Uncle, you're so fast!"
"Uncle, this is what I'm thinking: Aren't there many big rocks on our mountain?"
"If we could get some rocks down from the mountain, then break them up and pave the road, wouldn't that be more durable?"
"It would be better to lay a layer of cement on top after all the stones have been laid."
The captain nodded: "That's a good idea. I'll go and inform them right away."
Huo Junshan pulled him aside: "Uncle, let me finish."
"For this work, are we paid wages or given work points?"
The brigade leader agreed. After thinking for a moment, he said, "No, we won't give anything. This is a big deal for the village. If we were to pay wages, how much would that be?"
"Anyone who dares to refuse will go to the farm."
"If anyone dares to oppose the team's road construction, I'll report them and have them kicked out of the brigade!"
The captain's voice was deafening; it was very loud.
He said confidently, "Third brother, this matter is not urgent. I need to go and discuss it with the old Party Secretary and the accountant first."
"You're coming with me too."
Huo Junshan was holding two baby bottles in his hand, which he had originally intended to use to prepare formula.
He put down the bottle and walked to the front with the brigade leader, leaving his mother at the back.
"Mom, go keep an eye on things in the back. I'll be right back. Yan Yan can't handle this by herself."
The captain pulled him toward the accountant's house.
I called the accountant and we went to the old Party Secretary's house together.
The captain explained his purpose.
After discussing it for a while, the group decided that every household should come out to work!
Besides those who stay home to take care of the elderly and children, everyone else has to come and do chores!
Otherwise, work points will be deducted when distributing grain at the end of the year.
This was originally a good thing for the brigade, so who would disagree?
That's settled then!
That evening, the team leader called a meeting to inform everyone of the matter.
Although some people are unwilling to work for free, it is still a good thing.
The brigade leader then threatened, "Anyone who disagrees can go to the farm!"
Now no one dared to disagree anymore.
The next day, Huo Junshan, the brigade leader, and the accountant strolled around the brigade together.
The old Party Secretary can't manage so many things; his health isn't good.
They rarely come out.
I only get involved in big events.
After reviewing the situation, the three of them decided to only repair the two main roads that the brigade usually traveled the most.
That's settled then!
That afternoon, the brigade leader instructed the men to go up the mountain to haul stones.
Because the rocks on the mountain were too big, the men immediately decided to break them into pieces before rolling them down the mountain!
The captain specifically instructed that no one should go up the mountain for the next few days to avoid being injured by falling rocks.
Actually, there are quite a lot of rocks on the mountain.
