There are four or five large trucks parked in front of the gate of the provincial transportation company, and the rest are medium-sized trucks. The vehicles are moving and stopping all the time, and the gate is very busy.
Jiang Wanyue and Zhao Xiangyang walked in and explained their purpose. They only needed a medium-sized truck. The price was 0.15 cents per ton per kilometer, and any cargo less than a ton would be rounded up to a ton.
Six thousand large fish fry weigh about three thousand kilograms, plus water, which is calculated as two tons. The total distance from the provincial capital to Xiaojing Brigade is 180 kilometers, which means it costs 54 yuan.
Seeing the price, Zhao Xiangyang took a breath of cold air: "This, this is too expensive..."
Jiang Wanyue said: "So, we have to have our own fish hatching equipment."
If there were no hatching equipment, we would have to come to the provincial capital to buy fish fry every once in a while. The shipping fee for a piece of fish fry worth 100 yuan would be more than 50 yuan, which is really too expensive.
The two got on a truck and drove to the fishing farm. The fish fry had already hatched and were put into water tanks. These water tanks for the fish also cost money, fifty cents each.
Jiang Wanyue simply bought a sturdy new fishing net.
When Zhao Xiangyang took out the money, his heart was bleeding.
We have to wait a while after the fish fry are packed because Sun Zongyuan is still copying the technical manual.
Jiang Wanyue and Zhao Xiangyang each borrowed a pen and went over to help copy the thick operation record book. The three of them copied together and used up two pens. They finally finished copying before noon, then quickly got in the car and set off back to Xiaojing Brigade.
Jiang Wanyue was arranged to sit in the co-pilot seat, while the other two men sat in the back compartment with Yu Miao.
The road conditions were not good these days. Even the provincial roads were bumpy and uneven. The car was bumpy all the way, and after about four hours, we finally arrived at Hongqi Commune.
Jiang Wanyue gave directions to the driver. The road from the commune back to the brigade was even more difficult to travel on. It was a muddy road, and it was bumpy every time you walked on it, which made it even more uncomfortable for people who were prone to motion sickness.
Before the car entered Xiaojing Brigade, it attracted the attention of many members in the fields.
"Oh my god, there's a big guy on our team!"
"What kind of car is this? Why is it so big?"
"You have never seen the world. This is a truck. I have seen it in the county!"
“…”
Many people who were working ran to the roadside to watch the fun.
Jiang Wanyue asked the truck to stop. She pushed open the door and jumped out. She breathed in the fresh air and felt much more comfortable.
"It's the fourth daughter-in-law of the Song family. She actually came back in a big truck!"
"Last time we took a tractor, this time we took a truck, and next time we will have to take a car!"
"Okay, get out of the way, the truck is about to move!"
Jiang Wanyue nodded and smiled and greeted the onlookers, then drove the truck all the way to the fish pond.
However, there is a small path next to the fish pond, and trucks cannot drive in at all, so they can only be parked on the main road.
She smiled and called out to everyone: "Uncles, come and help us move the fry down first!"
Only then did everyone see that the truck was filled with fish fry.
"Song Si Niang, why did you buy so many fish fry?"
"Each group in our brigade has a large pond, and there are so many small wild ponds. There are tens of thousands of catties of fish. Why do we still need to buy fish fry?"
"Didn't we say that our brigade has set up a fishery? Of course we'll sell it after we buy it. What else can we do?"
"Why do you say it so easily? Can fish be sold so easily?"
"We used the brigade's money to buy the fry, and each of us also had a share. What should we do if we can't sell them?"
A group of people stood in front of the truck and started arguing.
"If we can't sell them, we'll just divide the fish like we did every year!" Tian Youliang pushed through the crowd and squeezed in. "The purchase of fish fry was a joint decision made by all members of our brigade. What's wrong with that? Do we need to ask for your opinions? If we sell the fish, the whole brigade will benefit. If we can't sell them, we'll divide the fish among each of you. It seems like you're all doing well. What are you all talking about?"
Everyone was speechless.
Song Dahai also came in and said coldly, "Hurry up and help unload the goods, and stop talking nonsense."
The team leader and the branch secretary spoke at the same time, and no one dared to say anything. Those who were strong stepped forward to help lift all the water tanks down and placed them next to the fish pond.
Zhao Xiangyang went over to settle the toll with the driver, and took the driver to the commune for a meal before sending him away.
Sun Zongyuan also finished moving the fish fry, then took the screws and went to the brigade headquarters to repair the diesel engine.
Jiang Wanyue quickly learned from the technical manual how to release the fish fry, and then slowly learned how to operate it with Tian Youliang and Song Dahai, and released the fish fry in every fish pond.
By the time all the fish fry were released, it was already dark.
The moonlight was very bright, illuminating every inch of the village. The water in the pond was sparkling with silver moonlight.
Jiang Wanyue looked at the pond and slowly said, "In fact, the doubts raised by the villagers today are reasonable. After all, the fish pond in the village is a production material passed down from generation to generation. The fish are distributed every year, but this year they cannot be distributed. How can everyone not have any objections?"
Tian Youliang said, "The fish pond was rented by the fishery from the brigade. We will complete the contract later and the rent will be distributed to everyone based on the number of people. What are you dissatisfied with?"
"Everyone might be satisfied during the first few days of dividing the money, but after a while, they will still feel dissatisfied because the benefits are too little." Jiang Wanyue said in a clear voice, "Because the money they are divided is about the same value as the fish they were divided in the past, everyone will think that running a fishery will not benefit them at all, so they will naturally resist."
Song Dahai understood some of the meaning: "Then Wanyue, what do you think?"
"Take a certain percentage of the fishery's revenue and distribute it to the villagers quarterly or annually." Jiang Wanyue curved her lips, "As long as the dividends are large enough, the villagers will spontaneously support the fishery's operations and become its strongest supporters."
"What you said makes sense, let's do as you say!" Tian Youliang nodded, "There's one more thing. Our fishery has been established, but we're still short of a person in charge. Xiao Jiang, who do you think is more suitable?"
Jiang Wanyue's eyes flashed.
The branch secretary asked her this question, and it was obvious that he wanted her to be the person in charge.
It seems that her hard work over the past few days has not been in vain.
She pretended to be thoughtful and said, "By the way, who was in charge of these fish ponds in our village before? We can arrange a formal position for him in the main force and let him take charge of the overall management."
"No one was in charge of these fish ponds before. We just arranged for people to cut grass to ensure that the fish would not starve to death. Otherwise, how could the fish ponds produce so little?" Tian Youliang said, "Xiao Jiang, your father-in-law and I actually think you are more suitable. What do you think?"
"Me?" Jiang Wanyue looked surprised. "I'm an elementary school teacher. I have classes every day. I really can't spare the time."
Song Dahai took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Being a teacher is indeed better. Lao Tian, let's think of other candidates."
Tian Youliang suddenly became anxious: "What's so good about being a teacher? I'm not assigned by the higher authorities. I can only be considered a part-time position with a subsidy of four yuan. I have to work in the fields to earn work points during holidays. If I were in charge of the fishery, it would be different. I can apply to the commune for an extra full-time position. From now on, Xiaojiang, you don't have to work in the fields anymore."
