In the early days of reform and opening up, the country that had returned to the ranks of the world's nations urgently needed to show itself in the world and urgently needed to attract the attention of the world.
Nothing captures the world's attention faster than a world champion in a sport.
The women's volleyball team suddenly won the world championship under such circumstances.
For others back then, it could be explained as a natural result of hard training, but for Wan Feng in his previous life, this world champion just appeared out of nowhere.
Wan Feng remembered that CCTV seemed to broadcast only two or three games, one against the Soviet Union and the final one against Japan. He didn't remember whether the game against the United States was broadcast.
At that time, he had no idea what volleyball was, nor did he know how to win. Anyway, after the final victory over the Japanese, when Song Shiqiong told the people in front of the TV that we had won the world championship, he just felt excited.
This world championship had a huge and lasting spiritual inspiration on the Chinese people at that time, and almost influenced an entire generation.
It was from that time that the spirit of struggle was vigorously promoted by the country.
In this life, the things that confused him at the beginning appeared in front of the people in Wa. He temporarily played the role of commentator and popularized volleyball knowledge to the people in Wa.
As a result, volleyball terms such as blocking, serving, short, flat and fast began to appear in the mouths of a group of farmers in Wahou.
In the same last game, when Song Shiqiong announced in his passionate voice that the Chinese women's volleyball team had won the world championship, the people behind the stadium looked at each other in confusion at first, then rushed outside and cheered loudly.
Especially the young people, running back and forth in the village with basins and buckets in their hands, banging their hands together, as if it were New Year's Day.
Wan Feng regretted not buying some firecrackers. He guessed that if he set them off at this time, most people in the Jiangwei Brigade would wonder if there was something wrong with the date this year.
The volleyball match became a hot topic among the people of Wa for three consecutive days, and even formed a trend.
The next day, someone came to Luan Feng and made a request, asking him to get him a set of sportswear similar to the one worn by the women's volleyball team.
Luan Feng said doubtfully that they were the women's volleyball team, they were women.
No matter if it's a man or a woman, just make one set for me.
As a result, in just three days, many people wearing blue and black sportswear appeared on the streets of Wahou.
Luan Feng smelled a business opportunity and stopped all the clothing production to rush to make this kind of sportswear. In just two days, hundreds of sets of sportswear with several colors appeared in the market, and a buying frenzy was once again created.
"Everyone, come and take a look! This is the award-winning uniform the women's volleyball team wore when they won the world championship. It's six pieces per set, and the quantity is limited. Hurry if you want to buy one."
Jiang Jun also watched the women's volleyball game in its entirety, so he was the first person to bring sportswear to the small market to sell, and he sold quite well.
At this time, he was not the only one selling clothes in the market. There were about five or six people selling clothes here, all of whom had moved here from the market.
Although the weather has started to get colder, the popularity of the small market has not decreased but has started to rise.
Not only did the people from the three communes that the Jiangwei Brigade relied on know that there was a market here, but even people dozens of miles away knew that there was a market here that was open 24 hours a day without holidays.
Moreover, the clothing, shoes and hats here are relatively cheap.
Therefore, after the slack season, many people rushed to the depression to see what was going on, causing the place to be crowded with people.
The variety of items sold at the market is also gradually increasing. There are not only clothing, shoes and hats, but also agricultural and sideline products, aquatic products and farm machinery. Some girls in Wahou also ask their families to take the flowers and birds embroidered in their spare time to the market to sell, and they actually get a good price.
Because the number of people coming to buy and sell continues to increase, the open space in front of the shoe factory is no longer enough.
It just so happened that the crops in this ditch were harvested and the land was vacant, so the team hired Xiao Jun's tractor, which had been idle due to the closure of the brick factory, to pull a lot of river sand, and paved the land with the river sand, expanding the area by several thousand square meters.
There are too many people and too much chaos. Because there are so many young people, it is inevitable that there will be things like "what are you looking at?" and "what are you looking at?"
Wan Feng is absolutely not polite about such things. He explicitly announced that Wahou is a place with active economy and prosperous market. Those who do things in a boastful way are not welcome here. If you fight here or do it secretly, once you are discovered, you will be sent to the police station at the worst, and beaten at the least.
So, from the day the market opened to now, more than three months later, except for a few such incidents that occurred at the beginning and were suppressed, no such incidents have occurred.
The commune finally learned about the market in Wahou. Although Zhang Hai was reprimanded by Secretary Liang, he did not order it to be stopped, which was considered as tacit approval.
After all, this is a good thing for the Warrior Commune.
The contract responsibility system in Wahou has achieved very good results this year. Although the grain output has not increased much, the income of the members has increased steadily.
Although the monthly salary of 25 yuan is still a certain distance away from that of formal workers in the country, it is something that everyone envies in rural areas.
Many young people from the neighborhood want to work in the factory in Wahou but are unable to do so.
Whether it is a shoe factory, a brick factory or even a machinery factory, you will feel a sense of superiority when you go out.
In the autumn and winter of 1981, rural areas in Beiliao Province began large-scale contract responsibility system, and Hongya County also promoted the contract system, which was completed by the end of December.
After the land was contracted, there was a large number of idle people in rural areas, and the manpower problem in Wahou was finally solved.
Although the regulation that an individual may not employ more than eight people remains unchanged, township enterprises are not included in this scope.
So when the team headquarters in Wahou posted a recruitment notice, young men and women from the surrounding villages came in droves to sign up.
Wahou is now recruiting workers mainly to expand the production of the shoe factory. For each of the three sets of equipment, at least two sets of staff are required. The current one set of staff is no longer suitable.
The shoe factory recruits workers based on the strategy of recruiting those who live nearby first and those who live far away later. After all, it is not easy for people who live too far away to commute to get off work, and the shoe factory does not have any dormitories yet.
The shoe factory employed a total of sixty people, most of whom were women.
Those who were admitted were overjoyed, while those who lived farther away were extremely disappointed.
The machinery factory also recruited some skilled workers. The machinery factory produces a large number of products, and it would not be able to do without enough manpower.
After this group of workers entered the factory, various categories of products in the machinery factory could be produced at the same time without any conflict.
When it was December, Zhang Hai decided to distribute dividends in advance this year, as many families were still waiting for money to buy televisions and get married.
