Yang Yulan gritted her teeth.
Her son is tall and strong, and good at work, but he is too dumb when it comes to talking, and his marriage proposals have all fallen through several times.
This time, they were just a little bit away from confirming the relationship, just the final touch, but because of Jiang Wanyue, the girl got so angry that she left without even looking back.
"He's just an elementary school teacher, teaching literacy and arithmetic. Why can't he teach girls?" Yang Yulan bit her lip. "Jianguo is your nephew. If you don't help him, what will he do if he can't find a wife in the future?"
"He can't get married because he is incompetent. What does it have to do with Wanyue!" Zhou Xiugui passed by and heard this. She couldn't help but join the conversation. "Yulan, you are a sister-in-law, how come you are not as clear-headed as Wanyue? Didn't you hear about what happened in the school today? The old lady of the Du family is always making trouble. If she really chooses Jianguo's partner as a teacher, the old lady will make your father-in-law unable to even be the team leader!"
Yang Yulan was suddenly speechless.
You can't let your father-in-law's work be affected for a future daughter-in-law who doesn't exist.
She pursed her lips and turned away.
"Don't bother with your sister-in-law." Zhou Xiugui said, "She is also confused by Jianguo's marriage. When Jianguo gets married, she will naturally figure it out."
Jiang Wanyue nodded but didn't take it to heart.
She first went to Song Laosan's house next door, brought Huazi back, and then started to cook lunch.
After lunch was ready, Yingzi came back with a basket of hay, then squatted in the yard and rolled the hay into a ball to use as fire.
After a quick lunch, Jiang Wanyue settled the children and went to the brigade headquarters.
Now that the school affairs have been handed over, the next step is to start getting the fishery back on track.
"Xiao Jiang, you're here." Tian Youliang was sitting in the brigade office reading documents. When he saw her come in, he immediately stood up and said, "There are three rooms in the brigade office. This is where Lao Song and I work. This is the main room, which is usually used for meetings. The one on the west side will be used as the fishery office in the future. See if there is anything missing. I'll find a way to fill it for you."
Jiang Wanyue took a look and saw that this office had a large table, two chairs, and a small cabinet. It was fully equipped.
She smiled and said, "The fishery still has to pay rent for using the office."
"What are you talking about!" Tian Youliang said with a straight face, "The fishery belongs to the brigade. Your plan also states that 20% of the fishery's profits will be used for collective construction of the brigade. It is reasonable for the brigade to set up an office. Okay, don't say anything more. I'll go get you a new accountant."
Jiang Wanyue could only accept it.
She walked into the office, put down some of her notebooks and pens, and was about to sit down.
A head poked in at the door. Jiang Wanyue recognized her. She was the women's director of the brigade. However, due to the women's affairs in the village, the women's director had no control over them. As time went by, the position of the women's director became meaningless. No one in the brigade called her director. They all called her Sister Wan San.
"The secretary is too partial." Sister Wan curled her lips. "I have been the women's director for many years and I don't even have a desk. How can someone get an office all to himself when he comes? It's so unfair!"
"Don't talk about fairness!" Tian Youliang came back, "You know you've been the director of women's affairs for so many years, so let me ask you, have you solved any problems? There are always girls in the brigade who are forced to marry by their parents. Have you ever intervened?"
"Why didn't I take care of it, but they didn't listen to me!" Sister Wan San said, "They are the girl's parents, what can I, an outsider, say..."
"If you can't achieve anything, don't blame me for being partial." Tian Youliang said coldly, "Before Xiao Jiang became the deputy branch secretary, he earned several hundred yuan for the brigade and repaired the brigade's diesel engine. If you have this ability, I'll give you that position!"
Sister Wan San was speechless and turned away.
"There's less work to do in the fields, and everyone is free, just looking for trouble!" Tian Youliang cursed, then put on a smile, "Come, Xiao Jiang, let me introduce you to the new accountant, Zhao Xiangbei, the younger brother of our brigade accountant Zhao Xiangyang."
Zhao Xiangbei is in his early twenties and looks very young. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Hello, Deputy Secretary Jiang. My name is Zhao Xiangbei."
"Don't call me Deputy Party Secretary Jiang. It sounds strange." Jiang Wanyue paused and said, "I should be a few years older than you. Just call me Sister Jiang."
Zhao Xiangbei nodded: "Okay, Sister Jiang."
Jiang Wanyue immediately got into work mode: "Accountant Xiao Zhao, let me tell you about the salary..."
"Sister Jiang, don't call me that. Call me Xiangbei instead."
"Okay, go north." Jiang Wanyue looked at him and said, "Your brother is the accountant of the brigade, a part-time cadre, with full work points every day, plus a six-yuan subsidy per month. When you enter the fishery, you will be a worker and will no longer have work points. The salary I offer you is twelve yuan a month, which is less than your brother's. Can you accept it?"
Zhao Xiangbei nodded immediately: "Yes, I can accept it."
"When the fishery is big and on the right track, we will increase your salary." Jiang Wanyue made a big promise for him and continued, "The first thing to do now is to settle the accounts between the fishery and the brigade. How much money the fishery owes the brigade, including rent, fish in the pond, labor, etc., should all be calculated clearly. You should also sign an agreement with the brigade on when to pay it back."
Tian Youliang said hurriedly: "We are one family, so there is no need to..."
"Uncle Tian, I know you mean well, but others may not think so." Jiang Wanyue said, "Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, let alone two different units. Xiangbei, thank you for your help."
She handed over a brand new notebook.
Zhao Xiangbei took it and immediately went to settle the score with his brother Zhao Xiangyang.
Tian Youliang wanted to say something else.
Jiang Wanyue stood up and said, "Uncle Tian, I need to measure the size of the seven fish ponds in the fish farm. Can you lend me Brother Sun?"
She looked at the information from the brigade and found only a rough estimate of the acres of several large fish ponds, and that data was from six years ago. She had to measure it again, otherwise she wouldn't be sure of the exact number when buying fish fry and fish food in the future.
Sun Zongyuan is the agricultural technician in the team. After following Jiang Wanyue on a trip to the provincial capital last time, he was convinced by Jiang Wanyue and had been thinking about how he could help. As soon as Jiang Wanyue asked to borrow someone, he immediately ran over and brought a series of measuring tools.
There are eight groups in Xiaojing Brigade. One group withdrew, leaving seven groups. Each group is equipped with a large fish pond. Some are naturally formed, some are dug out, and they are of different sizes.
The largest fish pond is the one in group six, which covers a full ten acres. The smallest one is in group three, which covers only six acres. The seven fish ponds together cover a total of forty-four acres.
After two consecutive fishing trips, Jiang Wanyue was able to preliminarily calculate that under this primitive and extensive breeding model, the fish yield per acre of land is only about 200 kilograms.
In other words, the fish farm now has about 8,000 kilograms of fish, plus the small fish that have just been put in, a total of more than 10,000 kilograms.
