When Dachao came back again, Xiu'er had already calmed down and looked aggrieved.
He walked up to Dachao timidly, grabbed Dachao's sleeve and said, "Dachao, I really know I was wrong this time. I also heard what you said to the captain just now.
I agree with this, don't be angry with me, I will definitely listen to you in everything from now on."
When Dachao heard Xiu'er apologizing to him in a humble manner, the anger in his heart dissipated a little.
Gently pulling Xiu'er's hand, he said earnestly: "Xiu'er, you have to give things to your parents' home every month. Have I ever stopped you?
I don't even want my mother to say anything to you.
But some things are not just our family's business. You can't always rely on your parents' family like before."
Xiu'er reached out and hugged Dachao, burying her whole face in Dachao's chest, making it impossible to see the expression on her face.
Dachao could only vaguely hear a muffled response from his wife.
He sighed, and the two of them talked it out, and the heavy weight on his heart fell.
On the other side, in the commune office, Secretary Wang and Director Wu looked at each other in silence.
Secretary Wang was still somewhat anxious, after all, this was beneficial to the entire commune.
But since Liu Qingshan had exposed their relationship first, he couldn't take the lead in this matter.
He looked at Director Wu from time to time, cursing in his heart, this old fox, he obviously already had the answer in his mind but just didn't say it out loud.
The knock on the door interrupted the stalemate between the two.
Secretary Wang cleared his throat and shouted, "Come in!"
The person outside pushed the door open and Secretary Wang looked closely. It was none other than Captain Lu's son, Lu Ping.
"Secretary Wang, Director Wu."
Lu Ping bowed towards the two of them somewhat awkwardly.
Secretary Wang smiled and asked, "It's Lu Ping, what brings you here?"
Lu Ping quietly measured the expressions of the two leaders and found that they were not as serious as he had imagined, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Secretary Wang, I have nothing to do here. I just want to ask if the grain transportation to the military area will still be delivered as planned?"
"An additional 10% will be given. The specific documents will be issued in two days. You can prepare in advance."
"Oh, oh, okay." Lu Ping nodded hurriedly, but after they said these words, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Lu Ping didn't know about his father's affairs, so he said: Well, I'll ask his father-in-law later!
"The two leaders, you guys are busy! I have something else to do at the grain station, so I'll leave first."
Secretary Wang nodded and waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
Director Wu picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, then smiled and asked, "Who was that just now?"
"Oh, he is the eldest son of Captain Lu who came this morning. He is very dedicated to his work."
"Well, he looks like a down-to-earth and hard-working person."
Director Wu replied indifferently. Secretary Wang saw that he refused to catch the ball, so he had no choice but to look at Director Wu.
"Old Wu, what do you think about these two brigades planting orchards? If the brigades pay for all the money, it will probably cause trouble later.
But if the commune pays, it will be difficult for us to carry out follow-up work.”
Director Wu picked up Captain Lu's application, pointed to a paragraph on the second sheet of paper, and said, "I think Captain Lu's suggestion that the commune pay half of the money is feasible.
Otherwise, if the brigade pays for the orchard, and they really start it, will they give part of it to our commune, or will they not give it at all?"
Secretary Wang nodded in agreement. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind and he said quickly, "How about this? Our commune will pay for part of the money. Every year, the brigade will give 10% of the orchard's harvest to the commune.
What do you think? This will give members more motivation to work."
“Isn’t ten percent a bit too little?”
Director Wu's tone was hesitant. He was transferred from the provincial government, and this position was a promotion in name only and a demotion in reality.
There is still some lack of understanding about farmers’ income generation.
This question touched upon Secretary Wang's knowledge point. He pulled out a piece of paper from the table and said, "Ten percent may seem small, but for the members.
Their orchards and pear gardens may not even reach 30% in a year.
You have to pay work points for taking care of the orchard every year. If the yield is not high, you may even lose money at the end of the year."
Secretary Wang wrote and drew on the paper, roughly calculating the profits and investment.
“According to my calculations, the investment in the orchard’s outer wall is not that much, the most important thing is the investment in the pear seedlings.
I estimated that the initial planting cost 10,000 yuan. Dali Village planted 300 mu of orchards at that time, and the government invested 15,000 yuan.
This time Dahe Village will bear half of the cost. I estimate that our price will be around the same.
I think this money can be applied for from the county’s finance department.
After all, this is not a small amount of money, and we have to exclude the cost of artificial planting and the cost of building the garden. "
Secretary Wang felt overwhelmed when this number was mentioned. In this era, if a family has 10,000 yuan, they will be well-known in the surrounding villages.
(They were most likely arrested...)
Not to mention the brigade, even the commune's finance department couldn't just take out so much money.
"Then let's apply to the county. They all know that the provincial leaders are coming to inspect this year, so we can start from this aspect.
By the way, of the two brigades, which one do you think will plant an orchard? "
Seeing that the matter was about to be settled, Director Wu stood up, patted his clothes, and asked casually.
Secretary Wang hesitated over the two applications, then gritted his teeth and said, "Call the captains of the two brigades over when we have the meeting later.
Submit the budget, and whoever can pay the other half will build it! "
Secretary Wang's words were fair, but he already had a definite answer in his mind.
The harvest in Daba Village has not been very good in the past two years, so it is estimated that the money cannot be taken out.
I'm afraid only Dahe Village can take over the construction of this pear garden.
After listening to his words, Director Wu nodded with satisfaction. He is indeed a secretary who gets things done.
The next morning, Captain Lu was notified to come to the commune for a meeting at 11:00 am.
Captain Lu was timid and unsure in his heart. Thinking that Lu Zhiye had many ideas, he quickly packed up and ran to Lu Zhiye's home.
Lu Zhiye and Wen Sihe were preparing to go out with their backpacks on their backs. Most of the wild fruits on the mountain had been picked.
Wen Sihe thought that he had nothing to do at home, so he dragged Wu Yu and a few others up the mountain to collect some firewood.
Captain Lu saw that several people were about to walk up the mountain along the path, so he raised his arm and called out: "Lu Zhiye, Xiaoye! Xiao Wen, the educated youth..."
Lu Zhiye looked back in surprise and saw Captain Lu, panting heavily while running.
Wen Sihe and the others were afraid that he would suffocate and collapse.
