With two more rooms in the house, there are a lot of other things that need to be prepared.
Jiang Wanyue asked a carpenter to make cabinets, a wardrobe for each of the two children, a desk, a chair, and a bed.
At the same time, you also have to buy bedding, quilts, mattresses, pillows and so on.
It was not popular to buy bed sheets, so she just bought the cloth and made them herself. She didn't know how to sew, so she had to ask her mother-in-law to do it for her.
Jiang Wanyue sews here with her mother-in-law at night and learns at the same time. In the future, when her clothes get torn or she needs to sew buttons on them, she can't always ask others for help.
After making the quilt, Zhou Xiugui also taught Jiang Wanyue how to make clothes using snakeskin bags, which surprised her greatly.
Just as he was busy, Song Dahai walked in and said happily, "Someone from the commune just came to tell me that the county called this afternoon and asked our team to arrange for someone to go to the county to get fertilizer tomorrow!"
Jiang Wanyue's eyes lit up: "That's great."
She thought the fertilizer would not be approved until the end of May.
The rice seeds we are currently growing are the world's leading hybrid rice. With a slight change in the production model and the addition of chemical fertilizers, we will definitely have a bumper harvest this year.
When the team needed to transport fertilizer, they naturally used the trucks from the fishery’s bamboo weaving factory.
Jiang Wanyue and Tian Youliang took a truck to the commune and called Secretary Qin along. They arrived at the county town at around nine o'clock in the morning.
When they arrived at the gate of the county party committee, Secretary Qin stepped forward to explain their purpose, and the employees there led them directly to the warehouse.
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "This batch of fertilizers was specially approved by Secretary Ning. I don't know if Secretary Ning is here. We want to thank Secretary Ning in person."
The staff member went in to ask Secretary Lu, who then went in to pass on the message and came out to lead Jiang Wanyue and her group in.
"It's not easy to get this batch of fertilizer!" Secretary Ning said, "You must cooperate well with the comrades from the Agricultural School Research Institute and strive to achieve a significant increase in rice production in our country as soon as possible!"
Previously, the Finance Department refused to approve funds for fertilizers because it was afraid that other communes would follow suit and also come to ask for fertilizers.
It was not until the news about the harvester was published in the newspaper and the provincial political commissar praised it that the Finance Department finally relented.
If this hybrid rice project is successful in Lianhu County, then he will be a great contributor. He must not miss this good opportunity to achieve results.
"Secretary Ning, we would like to express our special thanks to the comrades from the agricultural school who are conducting research in our Xiaojing Brigade. Thank you for your contribution to the development of our country's agriculture!" Jiang Wanyue said, "I have a suggestion that is not worthy of being mentioned on the stage. Secretary, would you like to listen to it?"
Secretary Ning was a little reluctant to listen, mainly because he was afraid that she would make excessive demands and it would be difficult to approve the money from the Finance Department.
But he was a little curious about what she wanted to say, so he nodded indifferently: "Go ahead and tell me."
Jiang Wanyue then spoke: "The news about the harvester was published in the provincial agricultural newspaper. Secretary Ning's voice in the county party committee should be a little stronger. I think this kind of thing should happen more often. This time, Secretary Ning single-handedly persuaded the Finance Department to allocate funds to buy fertilizers and fully support our country's hybrid rice project. How can this kind of thing not be published in the newspaper? When the rice harvest is in July, the province will think back on this news and will definitely give Secretary Ning a great credit! I suggest that Secretary Ning personally deliver the fertilizers to the countryside to show the county's attention to this matter!"
Secretary Ning thought about it for a while and thought it was feasible. He looked up and said, "Xiao Lu, call someone from the Propaganda Department to go to Hongqi Commune with me."
Jiang Wanyue was delighted.
The news about buying a harvester was published in the provincial agricultural newspaper. This newspaper is not very popular and has average visibility.
She asked Secretary Ning to go to the countryside just to take advantage of his position as a county secretary, hoping to get the news published in the provincial newspaper. Of course, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work this time, there will always be another chance next time.
In the 1970s, the thing that was least lacking was opportunities.
Secretary Ning usually travels on official business in a car, which was bought more than ten years ago. The car is very old, but it is also the only one in Lianhu County.
Secretary Ning took Jiang Wanyue and Secretary Qin into the car, while Secretary Lu and the Propaganda Department officer were driven into the truck.
"I have to say that your fishery has developed very fast." Secretary Ning said, "I looked at the relevant documents of the fishery. It was only established in October last year, right?"
Jiang Wanyue sat in the co-pilot seat and leaned over slightly to say, "To be precise, it was officially established in November of 1974."
"In just half a year, the fishery has grown to such a large scale." Secretary Ning gave a thumbs up. "It is true that the younger generation pushes the older generation forward. We, the older generation, can't compete with them."
When the leader started to be modest, Jiang Wanyue knew it was time to flatter him. She said seriously, "Secretary Ning, what are you talking about? You are the top leader of Lianhu County. Our county has developed so fast in recent years, all thanks to your wise leadership. It is a blessing for the people of Lianhu County to have a secretary like you..."
Secretary Qin spoke at the right time: "Secretary, I wonder if you know that Xiao Jiang also promoted the establishment of a branch of the Red Flag Commune Bamboo Weaving Factory in Xiaojing Brigade. She is now the director of the bamboo weaving branch. Just a few days ago, Xiao Jiang even negotiated a business deal with a foreigner."
Secretary Ning looked incredulous: "Doing business with foreigners? Did you get foreign exchange?"
Recently, the province has been fully encouraging factories to earn foreign exchange. This fire is burning fiercely in the provincial capital, but has not yet spread to the county towns.
Because it is not easy for people in the county to go to the provincial capital, it is even more difficult to meet foreigners, and it is even more unrealistic to do business with foreigners.
What’s going on? There is actually a factory in their county that has managed to attract foreign exchange?
It's outrageous!
Secretary Ning had a questioning look on his face, but Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "We have only received the deposit temporarily. Whether it can be successfully delivered in the end is still unknown."
But it was shocking enough.
Secretary Ning asked about the details in detail, with an incredible look on his face: "You just relied on yourself to communicate with the foreigners and negotiated a deal?"
He went to school and learned English for a few years, but he only knew how to say hello. He even forgot the basics of asking about the weather. He would never dare to talk to foreigners. With that little knowledge of English, isn't it embarrassing?
But this young woman in front of me actually accomplished such a big thing.
He realized that he had underestimated Comrade Jiang Wanyue.
The car was speeding along the road and the people in the car were chatting all the time. Before they knew it, they had passed Hongqi Commune and were slowly heading towards Xiaojing Brigade.
This road is very difficult to walk on, it is a bumpy dirt road and is very bumpy.
A rare car drove over from the other end of the village road, attracting countless people's attention.
Many people in the village had never even touched a bicycle, so naturally it was their first time seeing a car. They immediately raised their heads from the fields and walked to the side of the road to watch carefully.
At this time, the car door opened and Jiang Wanyue got out of the car.
