Back in the village, Sun Zongyuan asked Li Delai to take him to walk along two streets. The houses on both sides were built with rocks, and there were stones protruding from the ground. The trees in the village looked lifeless, and they looked old but not lush. There were a few people queuing up to fetch water next to a deep well. However, the whole way was clean, unlike some villages where the streets were piled with firewood, manure, stones, etc., and there was no chicken, dog or other feces anywhere.
Li Delai said:
"When I became the village secretary, the whole village was in a mess and smelled bad. We went door to door to dissuade people from doing this. But in recent years, the people have gotten used to it and no one has come to cause trouble."
Sun Zongyuan said:
"Living environment is also very important. Your ideas and actions on environmental improvement are quite advanced."
"Mayor Sun, I have some ideas about the development of our village. I would like to report to you when you have time." Li Delai said in a low voice.
"If you have any ideas, come to my mom's house tomorrow night and we can talk about it in detail."
Sun Zongyuan saw that Wang Yihai and others were some distance behind them, so he whispered to Li Delai.
When he returned home at six o'clock, Xu Rui hadn't cooked. Sun Zongyuan was about to ask, but Xu Rui said:
"My dad is back, and my mom asked us to eat over there."
Since Xu Baifu started working at the regional animal husbandry bureau, he has been very busy and has little time to go home.
Sun Zongyu's home and Xu Rui's father's home are both in Yuanda Community, but they are not on the same floor.
Sun Zongyuan asked Xu Rui to take out two bottles of frozen Zhiliaohou from the refrigerator and go over first, and he also found two bottles of Wuliangye from the underground storage room.
At that time, Wuliangye was really cheap, only 7.5 yuan per bottle, but Moutai was only 11 or 12 yuan, unlike the two or three thousand yuan per bottle in later generations.
If you don't want to just sit back and relax, just buy tens of thousands of bottles of Moutai. You don't have to worry about anything and wait for 30 years and you will be a billionaire.
Xu Rui's mother had already prepared the dishes: stir-fried pork belly with chili peppers, stir-fried tofu with leeks, peanuts, pork and vermicelli with cabbage, braised Spanish mackerel, and cicada monkey, a total of six dishes.
Xu Bing and Xu Mei were both at home. His father-in-law Xu Baifu looked much better and rosier than when he was secretary of Liuzhuang Township.
The whole family sat down. Sun Zongyuan was about to open the bottle of wine when Xu Bing quickly snatched it away:
"Brother-in-law, please sit down. You are the mayor now, so I will do this job!"
The whole family laughed.
Comrade Lao Xu said with emotion:
"You can't compare. I was 42 when I became the township head, 44 when I became the party secretary, and 45 when I started working in the district. Your brother-in-law has a better future than me."
"Can you compare with Zongyuan? Look at how much Zongyuan has done?" said the old mother-in-law.
"This is true, but Zongyuan, you have to be careful as a town mayor. You must avoid political problems and have a bottom line. If you don't have these two problems, it doesn't matter if development is a little slow."
"Dad, my brother-in-law must know something."
Xu Bing interrupted after taking a sip of wine.
"Dad, I will definitely do as you say. We must be honest in our conduct and do things in a down-to-earth manner."
The three grown men were chatting and drinking, and Xu Rui and the other two female comrades would occasionally interject.
The mother-in-law asked Sun Zongyuan casually:
"How is Tang Jikuan from the feed factory?"
"He and I have a very good relationship. He is capable and competent at work. I was optimistic about him at first, thinking he might have been promoted to deputy section chief in the last term change. However, he didn't want to go into politics and instead came to me to ask to go to Liuzhuang Feed Factory. I had no choice but to arrange for him to be an assistant to Yang Weiguo. Now Yang Weiguo is the executive vice president of the group company, and his main focus is on setting up feed factories across the region. He is basically in charge of the operation of Liuzhuang Feed Factory."
"Yang Weiguo's work is quite effective. This year, the Anyang feed factory was completed, and construction has started in three other counties. The pig farming project I lead in the region needs supporting facilities, which has greatly reduced my work pressure."
Old Xu said again:
"How is the production situation at Liuzhuang Feed Factory now?"
"It's OK. We added two more production lines this spring, bringing the annual production capacity to 40,000 tons. This is enough to supply not only the eastern part of Anyang County, but also the market in the northwest of Ganhe City."
"This year's output value has increased by 40% compared to last year, and the tax paid has increased by more than 30%." Sun Zongyu answered doubtfully, thinking that his father-in-law was still concerned about the development of Liuzhuang Township.
"Tax payments increased by 38% and operating income increased by 43%," Xu Mei said with a blushing face.
Sun Zongyuan felt something was wrong and turned to look at Xu Rui.
"I don't know how you manage to be an official. Tang Jikuan and my younger sister are dating." Xu Rui rolled his eyes at him.
Sun Zongyuan suddenly realized:
"It's quite suitable. Tang Jikuan will be 25 this year, and Xiaomei will be 23. The ages are also suitable. Xiao Tang has good character and will have a great career in the future."
"Xiao Tang means getting engaged before the New Year and getting married next winter," Xu Mei said with a blushing face.
"At least we have to look at the person and find a matchmaker."
"This is easy. Xi Rong is researching and developing feed at the feed factory every day. Xiaomei, ask Tang Jikuan to find her to be the introducer." Sun Zongyuan said.
"That's what we thought."
"Zongyuan, you once said that you would give a dowry to Xiaomei when she gets married. Don't forget it!" Xu Rui seemed afraid that Xu Mei would suffer a loss.
"I can't forget. Xiaomei's marriage is a big deal. I'm going to give Xiaomei 35% of the shares of Qianhe Food Factory and 20% of the shares of Liuzhuang Feed Factory to the two of you. Your salaries will be calculated separately. Is this okay with you?"
"That's too much. These two factories each generate six to seven million in taxes and over twenty million in profits a year, which translates to three to four million in dividends a year. It's way too much, even 3% isn't a small amount!"
