"Fifty people, good, let's bring fifty people in first." The impoverished households on the other side of Xia Shui Wan do indeed need support. Upon hearing this, Feng Biluo nodded and looked at the other party.
"Oh, right, there's another thing. The person has to be honest and clean, and can't do anything reckless. The monthly salary is twelve yuan, which is no worse than in the city. If you do well, you can get other subsidies. However, for now, the only place to live is the old house."
"It's alright," Secretary Li said immediately upon hearing this. "Those people aren't anything special. It doesn't matter where they live. Twelve yuan is more than enough. They can forget about finding a job in the city that pays twelve yuan." Secretary Li became happy.
After saying goodbye to Feng Biluo, Secretary Li went directly to find the secretary of Xiashuiwan. Upon hearing about the matter, the secretary of Xiashuiwan said, "Fifty people...twelve yuan..."
“Well, you know that everyone in the factory is in a very specific position. It’s difficult to find fifty people right now. If you want to give us more, it will take some time. If you don’t want to send fifty people, then I will send our own people from Qishan’ao. I’ve been more than kind to you, Lao Xu,” Secretary Li said.
Upon hearing this, Secretary Xu immediately said, "No, don't go. I'll go and mobilize people. When can we send it over?" Twelve yuan a month is a very high price. For these poor people, that's several months' wages.
And with room and board included, where else could you find such a good deal? Upon hearing this, Secretary Li said, "It can be delivered anytime, but you'd better prepare." With that, he rode off on his old bicycle.
At this critical moment, Secretary Xu directly convened a meeting of the neighborhood committee. He immediately became displeased, saying, "What fifty people? There are quite a few poor people in our village. A village can only support about one or two people."
"Then what do you want to do?" Secretary Xu asked. "That's the skill of the people from Qishan'ao. What about you? If you had the same skills as the people from Qishan'ao, you wouldn't have made me shamelessly beg for help. Now you're looking for people who are struggling to make ends meet to do the work." Secretary Xu said.
Upon hearing this, the village chiefs not far away nodded. "Okay, but I heard that the factories on the other side of Qishan'ao have a thousand people. Giving us only fifty is too stingy."
Secretary Xu glanced at them, and those people immediately fell silent, obediently choosing to shut up. Secretary Xu looked at them with a cold expression.
Meanwhile, Feng Biluo was organizing some things in the factory. The factory, which included a chicken coop and a food processing plant, only had a few hundred people. Feng Biluo felt that the factory should be expanded.
The road has already been repaired, and traffic will be much faster now that it's open. More importantly, with better roads, transportation will be much easier, and Feng Biluo plans to bring in some equipment this year.
At this point, Feng Biluo immediately started making phone calls. The phone line was installed this year, and she contacted the equipment suppliers to request more equipment.
Now that the equipment was set up, Feng Biluo grabbed her clothes and went out. After leaving the house, she looked into the distance and a smile appeared in her eyes.
“Little Fuya…” Feng Biluo bent down and asked, “Why do you have time to come see your mother?” Feng Biluo said that Feng Fuya was getting older and older. This year, six-year-old Feng Fuya gradually stopped following her mother all day long and started playing by herself.
"Mom, I have something I want to ask you. Mom... The people in the village said there's a school where we can go to study?" she said, looking at Feng Biluo.
“Yes, of course.” Feng Biluo nodded. The school in this village was something that had been planned for a few years, but construction was halted due to some issues.
Now that the drought has passed and everything is springing back to life, the village is starting to come alive again. Feng Biluo followed Village Chief Feng and talked about the village's affairs. Everyone in the village had donated money, and of course, the neighboring village had also donated money.
Each person donated ten yuan, which amounted to nearly ten thousand yuan. So, they started building houses and then hired some college students to teach. Upon hearing this, Feng Fuya was immediately delighted.
"That's great!" Feng Fuya said with a smile. "Mom, put me down. It feels weird like this. I'm all grown up now. Don't hold me like this anymore." Feng Fuya became a little shy. She was an adult now and didn't want to be held like this anymore.
Feng Bilu smiled and put Feng Fuya down. At this moment, Feng Bilu looked at the village chief and asked, "Grandpa Village Chief, what's wrong?"
"The personnel to be sent to the countryside have been decided. It is said that there are twenty people here." Feng Biluo was slightly taken aback when she heard this. Twenty people was a bit unexpected. "It is said that we need to prepare some houses."
Upon hearing this, Feng Biluo glanced at the other party and nodded directly. "That's no problem. How do you plan to prepare?" Feng Biluo asked the village chief.
"Oh, this is a real headache. I'm afraid those people won't be happy with us when they come," the village chief said, looking at Feng Biluo. Hearing this, Feng Biluo sighed helplessly.
“You’re not being right about this,” Feng Biluo said. “Those people aren’t here to enjoy themselves. Just provide them with accommodations. Why should we get the best things? There’s no reason for them to be the first to benefit others. The accommodations are separated by gender and are a bit closer to the village than that. There’s not much else to complain about.”
"But what if those people aren't willing?" Village Chief Feng asked, looking at Feng Biluo. This was the first time the village had sent someone to the countryside, so the attitude towards it was different.
“Village chief, that’s not right. Are they here to enjoy themselves? They’re here to work, not to enjoy themselves. Why should they get to enjoy themselves?” Yes, they’re here to work. Why should they get to enjoy themselves?
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Feng was slightly taken aback, but quickly nodded in agreement. "You're right, I was overthinking it. I'll go and choose a place right now." After hearing Feng Biluo's words, Village Chief Feng began to arrange accommodations for the educated youth Mei.
Actually, Village Chief Feng wasn't really happy about others coming. Wasn't his own Fengjia Village living a good life? Why should he accept some random college students? Besides, he didn't know if those college students would listen to him or do any work.
Because of this village, it's not like we haven't seen college students in the village before. And which college student isn't delicate and doesn't work? Not only are they mostly lazy and good-for-nothing, but Feng Bishi is also fair-skinned and delicate, clearly not the type to do manual labor. Of course, the Feng family has more than enough money to support Feng Bishi right now.
