Each household sent a representative to receive a bag of candy, and they could choose any one of the three kinds of candy.

Everyone was holding candies with smiles on their faces. The village was more lively today than during the Chinese New Year.

After the sugar was distributed, Song Chu looked at everyone and said, "Although there are many oil tea fruits on the mountain, they are limited. They will be gone in two months. So if we want the oil press to continue to operate, we have to press other oils."

"So starting tomorrow, people in the village can also bring things to the oil press to exchange for oil, sugar, or cloth. Later, I will find more factories in the county to exchange things, and the variety will be more complete."

Someone asked curiously with a smile: "What can I get in exchange?"

Song Chu replied: "If any family has soybeans, sunflower seeds, peanuts, corn, walnuts, sesame seeds, olives, etc., they can bring them to the oil press to exchange."

"If you don't have it at home, you can go to other villages and ask. If they are willing, you can also take it to the oil press to exchange it."

Although there is a large area of ​​tea oil trees on the back mountain, they are limited. Song Chu wants to keep the oil press workshop open all year round.

There is also a rapeseed field on the mountain. After the tea oil is squeezed out, the rapeseed can be used to squeeze oil. The elderly can carry the oil to exchange for soybeans, etc., which can be kept for future use in oil extraction.

When the villagers heard that they could use these things to exchange for oil, many of them became interested.

Nowadays, almost every household has a yard, so you can plant a circle of sunflowers or something near the yard wall without much effort.

"How do we change it?" someone asked.

Song Chu replied: "We still need to discuss how to exchange for the oil press workshop. We will give a specific number at that time, such as how much oil or sugar can be exchanged for one pound of soybeans."

"So we are going to recruit two accountants and a person who specializes in recording work points. People with a junior high school degree or above and good accounting skills can go to the team leader to sign up and receive preferential treatment."

She prefers to be in charge of the overall situation rather than doing everything herself, so it is imperative to continue recruiting people.

Hearing this, some people were happy and some were disappointed. After all, the village does not attach importance to education now, and there are not many junior high school students.

The educated youth at the educated youth point became active. The worst among them were junior high school students, and there were several high school students.

One of the male educated youths who occasionally greeted Song Chu couldn't help but ask, "Can educated youths sign up?"

Song Chu smiled and said, "Sure, anyone who thinks they are capable of doing the job can sign up."

"Okay!" The man nodded excitedly.

Song Chu mobilized the enthusiasm of the whole village, and when he saw that it was almost done, he raised his hand and said, "Okay, now we have to go back to the oil press workshop, please make way."

The whole village benefited today, and they all made way with a smile. Song Chu drove the tractor directly into the village and headed towards the oil press workshop.

"This girl from the Song family is really capable. Not only can she exchange so many things, she can even drive a tractor."

It was the first time they had seen a woman driving a tractor.

"Yes, Song Chu is now better than many boys in the village."

"I don't know which family can marry such a capable girl."

"..."Many others did not respond.

Having ability and marrying into the family are two different things. They don't dare to want such a capable daughter-in-law.

In fact, many men in the village were also attracted by Song Chu's beauty, but none of them dared to make a move.

特别是现在村霸还那么有本事，这娶回家更要压自己一头，反抗估计还要被揍，想想压力太大，还是算了吧。

Tang Feng heard their conversation and couldn't help but curl her lips. Looking at the young and middle-aged men in the village, the disgust in her eyes became even stronger.

She doesn't like the rough, dark and strong boys in the village.

After much thought, she realized that only Gu Zhiqing, the most handsome man in the village, could barely meet her standards for a son-in-law.

No, she has to ask the second brother to cook some delicious food these days so that Xiaobao can capture Gu Zhiqing's stomach first.

When they arrived at the oil press workshop, Song Chu asked Tang Qing and others to move the things on the tractor into it.

After that, she drove the tractor and delivered the remaining furniture to the village committee office.

The tractor was also placed in the large yard outside the office. There was no room for it in the oil press workshop, and she didn't want it to take up space.

When she walked back to the workshop, she saw that twelve people had already started working. They were more enthusiastic than before, and each of them had a big smile on their face.

The oil press workshop was giving out benefits today and everyone saw it. It would be a lie to say that we weren't jealous.

Many people hoped that Song Chu would recruit more people in the future. Some jealous people also murmured behind the scenes, saying that Song Chu's cousins ​​accounted for five of the employees in the oil press workshop, and that he was nepotism.

Now that everyone has benefited from Song Chu, and they also hope to allow their family members to join them when jobs are hired in the future, few people follow suit to gossip.

These people happened to be heard by Song Chu's eldest aunt and second aunt while they were talking. Tang Feng didn't even need to step in, as the two of them teamed up to scold these foul-mouthed people.

Then he returned home with high morale and distributed the benefits to his son.

Originally, they had some complaints about Tang Feng and her daughter who only took in but never gave out and liked to steal things, but now they have completely given up on that. They just think that Chuchu is capable and is not an ungrateful person for opening an oil press workshop and still thinking about their relatives.

In the evening, Tang Feng asked Song Laoer to fry bacon, eggs and potatoes, and the family ate happily.

After dinner, Song Chu took a basket to deliver food to Gu Yue, but Sister Song followed him.

Song Chu raised his eyebrows: "Sister-in-law, is there something wrong?"

Mrs. Song smiled and said, "Chu Chu, the oil press workshop is looking for an accountant and a scorekeeper?"

"Yeah, sister-in-law, you don't want to come, do you?"

Song Chu looked at her with a half-smile, "I remember that you haven't even graduated from elementary school yet. Even if I choose you, you can't do it."

"..."Mrs. Song's smile froze. This aunt-in-law was really vicious.

Sister-in-law Song smiled awkwardly: "I didn't come here on my own, but I wanted to ask for my sister-in-law. She is only a junior high school student, so she will definitely be able to do the job."

Working as an accountant or scorer in an oil press workshop is much easier than working as a mechanic, and you won't get tanned. You get oil, sugar, and cloth in a month, so it's still more cost-effective than working as a mechanic.

So she thought of her brother's wife.

Song Chu sneered, "Sister-in-law, your lazy sister-in-law wants to come too? Are you kidding me?"

"..." Mrs. Song was so angry that she blurted out, "You used to be even more lazy than her."

Song Chu curled his lips, "You were talking about the past. Now I am recognized by the whole village as capable and competent. Can your sister-in-law compare with me?"

"Sister-in-law, you must know yourself."

Then his face turned cold, "I have been emphasizing these days that no one in the family can hold me back, but it seems like you don't take it to heart at all."

"Since you care so much about your mother's family, let your elder brother send you back tomorrow."
