After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen followed the Chen sisters to the production team.
As soon as he arrived at the production team's threshing ground, Zhou Ziwen saw Wu Dagang on the stage.
The old man limped out, holding a bamboo stick.
"This old man refuses to accept his age!" Zhou Ziwen sighed.
People like Wu Dagang who have contributed to the village all their lives cannot sit idle.
As long as I am not lying in bed and unable to get up, I have to go to work no matter it is windy or rainy. This is a habit that has been ingrained in my bones.
Next to him, the captain who usually had a stern face also had a smile on his face.
"I have good news for everyone. Yesterday, our mushroom group shipped out and sold over 4,500 kilograms of mushrooms for over 900 yuan."
"Also, there are still several thousand kilograms of mushrooms in the mushroom house that have not been sold. Once they are sold, it will be another source of income."
"Please give a round of applause to the mushroom group and thank them for their contribution to the village, especially Comrade Zhou Ziwen, who led everyone in growing mushrooms."
"Comrade Zhou Ziwen, please come up and talk to everyone."
As soon as the morning meeting began, the team leader began a passionate speech.
At the end, he waved to Zhou Ziwen and asked him to go on stage to speak.
"Zhou Zhiqing, please go up and say a few words."
"Zhou Zhiqing, well done."
"Zhou Zhiqing, can we learn to grow mushrooms from you?"
Looking at the enthusiastic villagers, Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded, walking all the way to the stage.
Chen Qiaoyi in the audience looked at the handsome and stylish Zhou Ziwen with sparkling eyes, and the elegance in her eyes almost overflowed.
This is her object and her man.
Seeing that her man was so popular, she felt proud.
Chen Shiying, who was beside Chen Qiaoyi, was also staring at the figure on the stage in a trance, wondering what was going on in her mind.
Zhou Ziwen stood on the stage, looking at the villagers' enthusiastic smiles, and was unconsciously infected and started laughing too.
Turning his gaze, he saw the two sisters of the Chen family in the crowd. One of them had an expression of admiration on her face, while the other had a calm expression with joy on her face. It was obvious that they were happy for him.
"Hello, fellow villagers. The Mushroom Group's success today is inseparable from the support of the village leaders and the support of the villagers..."
"The technique of growing mushrooms isn't difficult, but the hard part is the careful cultivation. They're quite delicate and can go bad if you're not careful. If you're interested, you can talk to the members of our mushroom team..."
…
Zhou Ziwen was not stage-shy. After he went on stage, he gave a formal speech. After thanking the village leaders, he talked to everyone about the ins and outs of growing mushrooms.
However, after some explanation, everyone had some understanding of growing mushrooms. They knew that growing mushrooms is difficult and not something that ordinary people can learn.
The villagers didn't care about this. They only cared about Zhou Ziwen growing mushrooms and selling them for a lot of money.
The autumn harvest is over and the grain has been handed in. Next, we just have to wait for the village to settle the accounts, and then everyone can share the grain and money.
The villagers are very happy with Zhou Ziwen's extra income from growing mushrooms.
This means that they will receive more money than in previous years.
This was the case during the production team period. Everyone worked together and work points were calculated every day. At the end of the year, everyone's work points were calculated based on the production team's income, and then money and food were distributed based on the work points.
The more work you do, the more work points you get, and the more money you get.
But the key is to see how much the production team harvests. If the harvest is large, the village will have more money and food, and they will get more.
For example, in previous years, villagers only earned an average of 50 cents a day's work. This year, if the production team makes money, the earnings could be 60 cents.
After listening to Zhou Ziwen's explanation, the villagers responded enthusiastically. After the meeting, they even pulled Zhou Ziwen aside and asked him to speak more.
"Go, go, go, those who need to go to work should go to work quickly. Today is the last day. Hurry and put up the electric poles. The village is waiting for electricity!"
Seeing so many people surrounding Zhou Ziwen, Wu Dagang walked over with a bamboo stick.
"Yes, I want to know how to grow mushrooms. There will be plenty of time in the future. I won't run away anyway." Zhou Ziwen also laughed beside him.
"Haha, who knows, what if you, Zhou Zhiqing, elope with your partner one day?" some villagers laughed.
"That's not possible. Yiyi and I are legally married. We'll have our wedding in a few days. There's no need to elope." Zhou Ziwen also joked.
"Hey, I told you Zhou Zhiqing was capable. Look, he just arrived in the countryside and he's already found such a beautiful young wife. Many people haven't reacted!"
"Of course not! I'm thinking of introducing my nephew to the Chen sisters!"
"Does your nephew look as handsome as Zhou Zhiqing?"
As we were talking, the topic started to go off track.
But this is normal. Everyone is so familiar with each other that they end up chatting about things between men and women.
Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters are both celebrities in the village.
Zhou Ziwen is handsome and capable, not to mention the Chen sisters, they are really beautiful and everyone is thinking about them!
But although people are thinking about it, I have never seen anyone take action.
After all, she is too beautiful, and anyone with self-awareness knows that there is no hope.
She is beautiful and lives in the city, so how could she look down on those of us from the countryside?
Besides, now that they are protected by Zhou Ziwen, no one dares to take advantage of them.
After chatting and laughing with the villagers for a while, Zhou Ziwen brought the blushing Chen sisters to the mushroom house.
In other words, the Chen sisters knew the villagers' character and didn't care about their jokes. If they met someone more serious, they might not have teamed up with Zhou Ziwen.
Of course, he definitely wouldn’t care now. After all, he would be having a banquet with Yiyi in a few days.
After the banquet, everyone is a family and there is no need to avoid suspicion anymore.
However, before holding the banquet, they still had to wait for letters from home.
Without the blessing of her family, although Chen Qiaoyi would marry him, it would not be very comfortable after all.
Whether it is him or Chen Qiaoyi, their families are still here!
Without the consent of the family, wouldn’t that be considered elopement?
When they arrived at the mushroom house, the team members started picking mushrooms on their own initiative. Zhou Ziwen didn't do anything, but he didn't leave either.
Today is different from the past. Now is the harvest time. It doesn’t matter if he touches the fish at ordinary times, but at the critical moment, he must be there to watch.
As the saying goes, don't hit the diligent or the lazy, just hit the blind.
Zhou Ziwen thought he had good judgment and could see the seriousness of the matter.
Today, all the village leaders and cadres have to come here from time to time. How can he, a small team leader, not be present?
Sure enough, not long after Zhou Ziwen came to the mushroom house, the team leader and Wu Dagang arrived one after another.
"Ziwen, after you've harvested all the mushrooms, leave a thousand pounds for the villagers so they can try some of your mushrooms," the captain said. (End of this chapter)
