Secretary Ning was in high spirits and had a smiling face as he was celebrating the good news.
He also took Secretary Qin to the office in the county party committee building. Secretary Qin will take office as the director of the county party committee's office on the first of next month.
"Originally, Lao Qin was to be promoted to the position of Organization Committee Member." Secretary Ning said, "But the performance of Hongqi Commune this year was too impressive, so the county held a meeting and decided to let Lao Qin be the Office Director. This position is equivalent to the Party Committee Secretary and is also the fastest to be promoted. Lao Qin, if you do a good job, you will be promoted to Deputy County Chief or Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee within a few years. Don't let me down!"
Secretary Qin stood up straight and said loudly: "I will definitely remember the party's precepts, serve the people, and be a loyal servant of the people!"
Secretary Ning nodded: "I don't know who the new secretary is, but I heard it's a young man. Young people are energetic and have more foresight than an old man like me. Lianhu County will definitely develop better and better in the future."
"Then I'll borrow the secretary's good words."
After leaving the county, Secretary Qin returned to the commune and immediately issued a transfer letter.
The next day, Tian Youliang, the party secretary of Xiaojing Brigade, reported to the commune. He was the deputy director of the commune office, a cadre of moderate importance.
The former captain of Xiaojing Brigade, Song Dahai, became the branch secretary, and Jiang Wanyue continued to serve as deputy branch secretary. The captain needed to be elected by the entire team.
The commune arranged for someone to notarize the matter, and all the people in the brigade gathered at the threshing ground to publicly elect a new brigade leader.
Mao Sui recommended three people.
Song Dahai nominated two people.
After these five people took the stage to speak, the whole village voted.
Anyone over eighteen years of age has the right to vote.
Finally, the team leader of Group 2 was elected as the new team leader. His surname was Wan, and he was a man in his fifties, a down-to-earth and hardworking farmer.
Time flies and it is already mid-August.
There were a total of 500 ducks raised by Song Jianguo. Dozens of them died, leaving 462, and all of them were sold off.
This batch of ducks were raised by Song Jianguo alone. Song Lao Da and Yang Yulan also helped, but there were still not enough manpower. The ducks were not as fat as those raised by the Harvest Brigade. Jiang Wanyue asked for two dollars and fifty cents.
Yang Yulan was a little dissatisfied: "Wanyue, we are a family. You gave the Fengshou Brigade a price of 2.7 yuan, but only 2.5 yuan to Jianguo?"
"Why are you fighting over this, sister-in-law?" Jiang Wanyue had an unchanging smile on her face. "No matter how much the price is, this money is collective property and it can't go into Jianguo's pocket. What's there to fight about? But to be honest, Jianguo is really not good enough. Not only is he tired, but he also makes brother and sister-in-law stay up all night to help look after the ducks, and they don't even pay you. The duck farm can't be run like this, otherwise it won't be able to continue! After all, I'm the deputy branch secretary, so I'll make the decision. In the past three months, Jianguo has done the work of five people, so I'll pay him 30 yuan a month."
She saw with her own eyes that Song Jianguo got up early and went to bed late, slept only three or four hours a day, and ate and lived in the duck farm. He lost at least 20 kilograms. He only made 30 yuan a month, which was really not a high salary.
Yang Yulan was completely stunned.
The duck farm is run by the village. The village initially allocated 280 yuan, which was all spent on buying ducklings and food, leaving no money for paying wages.
Later, she went to her father-in-law to make a fuss, and he finally paid Jianguo a salary of twelve yuan a month from the brigade’s account.
Now, Jiang Wanyue opened and closed her mouth, and twelve became thirty?
After three months, that’s fifty-four dollars more!
The dissatisfaction in Yang Yulan's heart disappeared in an instant.
"Brother and sister-in-law have been busy for three months. You can earn work points during the day and come to help at night. Your salary will be a little less." Jiang Wanyue paused and said, "Eight yuan per person per month, how about that?"
Yang Yulan was stunned again.
She and her husband helped because they loved their son and never thought about asking for any wages.
With this calculation, the couple can get a total of 48 yuan!
It's like pie in the sky!
Jiang Wanyue looked up at Song Jianguo who was unloading the ducks and shouted, "Jianguo, come here."
Song Jianguo wiped his sweat and ran over: "Fourth Aunt."
"After this batch of ducks are sold, the duck farm will have money. This money belongs to the collective. You can't use it on yourself even if you save it. You have to spend money where it should be spent and recruit people where it should be recruited." Jiang Wanyue said, "For the next batch, how many ducks do you plan to raise?"
"At least a thousand." Song Jianguo was full of energy. "We must recruit people. Can two people do it?"
Jiang Wanyue held her forehead with her hand and said, "Look at how tired your parents are. Two people are definitely not enough. I think we need to recruit at least five people."
Song Jianguo shook his head hurriedly: "One person's salary is at least twelve. If there are five people, the monthly expenditure is sixty. It's too high. The duck farm doesn't have that much money."
"With more people, we can raise more ducks, even up to 2,000." Jiang Wanyue said, "I don't think there will be enough ducklings to buy in the county. Uncle Wu is going to the province to buy ducks in a couple of days. You can take a ride with him."
Song Jianguo quickly thanked him.
While busy collecting the ducks, Pei Su came over to tell Jiang Wanyue that Lin Jin had asked for a month's leave.
Jiang Wanyue's heart skipped a beat and she quickly washed her hands and ran to the Tian family.
Lin Jin married Tian Youliang's son Tian Dawei. The house was built next to Tian Youliang and was covered with tiles, which was considered quite good in the village.
She stood at the door and called out, and Tian Dawei came out: "Director Jiang, you're here. Xiaojin and I just came back from the clinic. She's not in a good mood. Please go in and talk to her."
Jiang Wanyue nodded and walked in.
She saw Lin Jin lying on the bed with a pale face, covered with a thin quilt.
"Wanyue, I still don't want that child..." Lin Jin started to cry as she spoke, "Doesn't Dawei have a son? He's almost three years old. I told my mother-in-law that I was afraid that if I gave birth to a child, she would be biased, so I should wait a few years. Then my mother-in-law agreed to my abortion. Dawei said that he respected me... I want to work hard now. I don't have that much time to take care of the child, educate the child, and accompany the child to grow up. I know that I will not be a qualified mother, so I can't have this child. Wanyue, can you understand me?"
Things have happened, Jiang Wanyue naturally tried her best to comfort her: "You are yourself first, and then the child's mother. You are not ready to be a mother, and it is not fair to the child. Now that you have made this decision, let it go. You are still young, and you will have your own children in the future."
Lin Jin cried silently and said nothing more.
Jiang Wanyue left only after she fell asleep.
She couldn't help but sigh. To be honest, she was not a qualified mother.
It's time to put down your work and spend some time with your children.
There is no such thing as winter and summer vacations these days. We just have holidays during the hottest and coldest times. August is almost over, so why not take this opportunity to take the kids out for some fun.
Jiang Wanyue packed her bags, took her three children, and hitchhiked to the provincial capital.
