Turning east on the road leading to the county town, you will get on the highway to the seventh team. The straw mats that were originally covering the road surface have all been removed, revealing the dark asphalt. Unlike the asphalt roads on other roads, it is very flat. There are various trees planted on both sides of the road. They were transplanted from the mountains by the villagers after the weather warmed up to protect the soil and water.
"This road is well built!" Qin Xiao is also used to the world. Even the road surface in Beijing is not better than this road.
"They are all repaired by machines. I previously proposed that Team Seven set up a road-repair team. Do you think there is a market for this?" Ji Xia asked.
"Bing County is developing very rapidly now, but the roads out of Bing County are incomplete and the road surface is uneven, making it very inconvenient for trucks to transport goods. They will definitely need to be repaired in the future." Qin Xiao said.
But right now, the county has no money, so the big issue of road construction has not been mentioned for the time being.
The two entered Jijia Village and stopped the car at the intersection. Many villagers had gathered at the entrance of the primary school. Now the fields were plowed by tractors, and the villagers had much less labor to do. This also exposed another problem: how should they earn work points?
Yang Muchun and Ji Changgeng came out to greet them together. Ji Xia was a great contributor to their village. He ensured that the team members had enough food to eat throughout the winter. Who wouldn't be grateful?
"Xia Xia, you haven't been back to the village for a long time. Everyone misses you so much. This time, you must have a meal before leaving." Yang Muchun's stay was very sincere.
Ji Changgeng also heard that he had become a popular candidate for the secretary of Tuanjie Commune. What abilities did he have?
He is where he is today thanks to Ji Xia.
Ji Changgeng also said, "Xia Xia, you and Ah Xiao have finally come back, so stay in the village today and don't leave for the time being."
Ji Xia looked at Qin Xiao, who nodded and whispered, "I'm fine for now. If you have something to do, you can stay here for the night."
Ji Changgeng also said quickly, "Then it's settled. You can stay at home for one night. I'll ask your Aunt Cuixiang to bring a few people to help you clean up the house."
Yang Muchun also started to make arrangements. If Ji Changgeng became a leader in the commune, his son would have a hope of climbing up the social ladder. He was old and used to worry that the younger generations would not be able to shoulder the burden. Now that he had Ji Xia, he had nothing to worry about and decided to leave the opportunity to the younger generations in the village.
The educated youth came over to talk to Ji Xia, and Qin Xiao was guarding nearby. Ji Rongbin saw this, came over and talked to Qin Xiao. He wanted to be a soldier when he grew up and become an outstanding soldier. He carefully asked Qin Xiao about joining the army.
Yu Jianmin accompanied Wei Zhenguo on their bicycles to Jijia Village. He said attentively, "Secretary Wei, you have lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you."
Wei Zhenguo has been busy all winter and spring, spending years on the front lines of production. He's been incredibly busy, but he's proud of his work. He said modestly, "There's nothing we can do about it. Who in Bing County isn't busy this year?"
Not to mention anything else, even the people in the black market are almost busy to death.
In order to give employees a good New Year, the factory was looking for supplies everywhere. Public supplies were out of stock, and the people above them had no choice but to turn a blind eye. If they could buy things on the black market, they would have to pay a high price.
Yu Jianmin also knew about the special situation in Bing County. The county town was extremely busy, and those who were transferred from the production teams to support the construction benefited from it. They earned ten or eight work points a day, and were provided with two meals a day. It was a good life that they had not had for many years.
"I heard that a batch of machines will be delivered soon. Our county will become famous for its foreign exchange earnings this time," said Yu Jianmin.
One unit costs 6 million US dollars, so 2,000 units would be 1.8 billion.
When Wei Zhenguo thought of this number, his whole body trembled and he couldn't even hold the bridle of the bicycle. At this time, he turned right and got on the road to Jijia Village. The road surface was very flat and wide, and four cars could easily drive side by side.
Wei Zhenguo was very happy. "Everything is getting better. The 2,000 machines will be delivered soon. In the future, our county will also build roads like the one in Jijia Village. This road is really beautiful."
The secretary next to him said, "Secretary, I heard that Jijia Village is planning to set up a road construction team. In the future, if our county wants to build roads, we won't have to go through so much trouble. We can use the machinery of the Jijia Village road construction team, which will be faster and better."
Yu Jianmin was unhappy. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Secretary, Jijia Village now has two excavators, two tractors, and several road repair machines. I think these machines should belong to the public. If they stay in Jijia Village, the other production teams in the commune will not accept it."
The secretary glanced at Yu Jianmin and silently lit a candle for him in his heart.
Those equipment were given to the village by Ji Xia. Does Yu Jianmin feel that he is too comfortable as the deputy secretary and doesn't plan to do it anymore?
Wei Zhenguo sighed inwardly, but he could also understand Yu Jianmin. Which production team in Bing County wouldn't be jealous of Team 7? But what's the point of being jealous? It was their production team that had produced Ji Xia.
It’s just that Ji Xia’s identity is not suitable for publicity, so people outside are saying that he, the county magistrate, is biased, and they are also speculating about what kind of relationship he, the county magistrate, has with the Seventh Team, and why his policies are biased towards the Seventh Team.
What kind of connection could it be? The connection is that he, as the county magistrate, has to rely on the members of the seventh team in everything.
But I can’t say it!
This is going to kill me!
Wei Zhenguo had no choice but to say earnestly, "Those machines were obtained by Team Seven themselves, not through the county. If they were willing to donate them for free, the county would naturally take them over, but do you think that's possible?"
"But now we have a collectivist system, and all supplies should be public. It's wrong for Team Seven to keep them privately." Yu Jianmin said unconvinced.
Seeing that he couldn't convince himself, Wei Zhenguo chuckled twice and stopped talking.
Some people really won't cry until they see the coffin. As a commune secretary, you don't go to the production team to ask for it yourself. Do you want me, a county secretary, to do this?
Fortunately, Yu Jianmin wasn't completely stupid. He quickly came around and told Wei Zhenguo, "Secretary Wei, I will persuade Ji Changgeng to fully demonstrate the spirit of Lei Feng and donate all those machines to the county so that they can be used to their maximum potential."
Wei Zhenguo naturally didn't dare to agree. Isn't this just stroking the tiger's whiskers?
Of course, this tiger is definitely not Ji Changgeng, but Ji Xia.
"I've already said that those machines were not given to Team Seven by the county, but were obtained by Team Seven themselves. The county is very busy right now, and there's nowhere to put these machines." Wei Zhenguo said impatiently.
Yu Jianmin didn't notice it and thought Wei Zhenguo was embarrassed to accept these machines, but he had made up his mind to do Ji Changgeng's work.
Once Ji Changgeng donates those machines, what reputation will he have in the Seventh Team?
At that time, how could I compete with him for the position of commune secretary?
