Wang Yousheng smiled a little embarrassedly.
"My parents are washing clothes by the river." Xia Zhiyao replied.
"You guys study, I'll go to the river." Wang Yousheng waved his hand and walked quickly to the river.
He had heard Xia Weian say before that he wanted to send his daughters to school, but he didn't really take it seriously. After all, the eldest and second daughters were older, and the eldest daughter could go to any of her husband's families.
After raising Erniu for another two years, it will be time for her to get married.
Why should a girl of this age read books? It’s good enough if she can write her own name.
Judging from the situation today, Xia Weian is really planning to send the children to school.
When Wang Yousheng came over, Xia Weian had not finished washing the clothes.
Song Qingyun was rocking back and forth in the rocking chair, looking so comfortable. Inexplicably, he didn't look like one of those country people...
Hearing footsteps, Xia Weian and Song Qingyun looked over together.
"Uncle captain." Xia Weian put the clothes in the backpack and stood up to greet him.
"Weian, are you washing clothes?" Wang Yousheng asked in surprise.
"Yeah, the kids are busy with their studies, so I don't have anything to do." Xia Weian suddenly remembered his injured persona and coughed twice. "My arm doesn't need any strength, so it's okay if you lend a hand."
Wang Yousheng didn't expect that Xia Weian had an arm injury. He was shocked that the head of the family actually washed clothes for the girls in the family.
He really felt that Xia Weian's ideological realm was not on the same level as theirs.
What's the point of being so nice to the girl? In the end, they still have to live together as an old couple.
No son-in-law would like his parents-in-law to come to his house.
Of course, Wang Yousheng only thought about this in his mind and couldn't say it out loud.
"Uncle, what do you want from me?" Xia Weian asked.
"Weian, I held a meeting with several officials about the matter we discussed yesterday. We all agree it's feasible, but we're not sure what kind of person would be suitable. We need you to give us a range."
"Young people learn things quickly. It doesn't matter if they are young girls, young wives or young boys, but they must be from our village. The first batch will be ten people, six women and four men." Xia Weian said.
Wang Yousheng is a smart man, so he naturally understands what Xia Weian means. To put it bluntly, knowing herbs is a skill that can be used for a lifetime once you learn it.
"Okay, we'll arrange the selection."
"Uncle, Sister Yun can teach these people about herbs first, and then I'll take them up the mountain. After we gather the herbs, how will we divide the money among them?"
"We don't share the money, it's all counted as work points." Wang Yousheng said. This was the result of their discussion. No matter how much the goods were sold for, it all belonged to the village.
The money will be used to provide welfare benefits to villagers or for village construction.
"This is fine in the early stages, but if we want to develop well in the future, we must add some rewards. I also want to try to cultivate some commonly used herbs. If we grow them ourselves, we can guarantee the supply and sign long-term order contracts with medicinal materials companies." Xia Weian said.
"We can also sign this long-term contract. Isn't it considered speculation?" Wang Yousheng asked worriedly. In fact, he was still not at ease with the business.
"Uncle, this matter needs to be handled clearly in the commune. Let's set up a cooperative based on the village collective. Then we can study planting by ourselves. If we don't understand something, we can apply for professional and technical personnel from the county's Academy of Agricultural Sciences to come and provide guidance." Xia Weian said.
"Weian, you know too much." Wang Yousheng sighed. He felt a little excited just listening to what Xia Weian said.
Xia Weian smiled and said, "That's what Brother Gu told me."
"Leader Gu is a capable person. Wei'an, you should learn more from him and come back to help with the construction of our village." Wang Yousheng said excitedly.
"Uncle, when the commune holds its commendation meeting in a few days, let's report to Secretary Duan that our village is planning to set up a cooperative."
"Is it okay to tell the leader directly?" Wang Yousheng was still a little nervous about meeting the leader.
"It's okay, let's give it a try. As long as Secretary Duan supports it, he can handle the subsequent procedures for us. We will be legal and compliant. If the cooperative makes money, we will also set up a processing plant."
"When the time comes, we will recruit workers in our own village."
Xia Weian painted a very beautiful picture for Wang Yousheng.
Wang Yousheng grinned, "Weian, okay, I'll do as you say, but you know this matter best, and you're the leader. Don't refuse. I've discussed this with the branch secretary."
"Okay, then I'll do it for now. Once things stabilize, our village will make further arrangements." Xia Weian said.
At present, the cooperative has no prototype yet, and it is unclear who is capable of doing the job. Xia Weian plans to build the cooperative and then slowly cultivate talents.
The two discussed for a while and reached a consensus.
Finally, the time to start learning was set and the commune held a commendation meeting.
The commune has already notified all the villages that the commendation meeting will be held at the end of the month, in five days.
Wang Yousheng and his team also took advantage of these few days to determine the final candidate.
Wang Yousheng left happily and satisfied.
Xia Weian went back to continue washing clothes. When he turned around, he saw Song Qingyun smiling at him.
"Sister Yun, why are you looking at me?"
"Look how powerful my man is." Song Qingyun said with a smile.
A gentle breeze blew, and Song Qingyun's hair danced softly in the wind, making her look even more beautiful.
Xia Weian walked over and kissed her on the cheek.
Although they are an old couple, he is only thirty-seven years old... which can barely be considered as the age of vigor and vitality.
"Sister Yun, you are becoming more and more beautiful."
Song Qingyun raised his hand and pushed him, "Stop talking nonsense and go wash clothes."
"Yeah." Xia Weian responded with a silly smile and finished washing the clothes neatly.
After washing the clothes, Xia Weian sat by the river and started making clothes hangers. He made more than 30 and used up all the wire.
He then stood up, tied the ropes to the trees on both sides, and hung the clothes up to dry.
Just as I finished my work, Uncle Lao Gen came over.
"Uncle Lao Gen." Xia Weian immediately went over to greet him.
"Laosan, I've found someone who can come to work tomorrow. Since it's not the busy farming season yet, we can build the house in two or three days," said Uncle Lao Gen.
"Thank you, Uncle Lao Gen."
"I've also found the adobe bricks. If there's no problem with your end, I'll have them brought over this afternoon."
"Okay, Uncle Lao Gen, I'll go get the eggs."
Song Qingyun greeted Uncle Lao Gen.
Uncle Lao Gen went with Xia Weian to get the eggs.
"Uncle Lao Gen, the children are in the front yard. When delivering the adobe bricks, just let them go through the back door." Xia Weian said.
His children need to study, and he has to be careful when moving things so as not to hurt the children.
"Okay, I'll bring people over and go straight to the back door. I'll ask everyone to come early tomorrow morning and bring their own breakfast rations. You just take care of lunch." Uncle Lao Gen said.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
