Chapter 91 Building a Factory

Director Xie also wanted to see what kind of person Li Qingyang was, who was directly appointed by his superiors.
Naturally, many people in Daobei Village knew Director Xie, and they all came forward to talk to him. When they heard that Director Xie was looking for Li Qingyang, some people went to Li Qingyang's house to call him.
Director Xie and his group walked towards Village Chief Li's house. Village Chief Li heard the sound of the wind and was heading out to greet them.
"Hey, Director Xie, why did you come here in person?"
Director Xie glared at him unhappily. "Village Chief Li, a few days ago you went to the commune and asked to resign from your position as Daobei Village Team Leader. After consultation, the commune has agreed to your request. From today on, you will officially resign from your position as Daobei Village Team Leader."
Village Chief Li's face turned completely pale when he heard this. He forced a smile and said, "Okay, okay."
Village Chief Li's wife rushed out of the house and grabbed Director Xie's sleeve in disbelief. "Xie, Director Xie, what's going on? How can you just quit as village chief?"
Director Xie pulled his sleeve back forcefully. "Just get to the point. Why are you pulling my sleeve? Mind your image."
The position of village chief was appointed by the commune. Since Village Chief Li has already resigned, after some discussion, we also feel that it is not appropriate for Village Chief Li to continue to serve as the village chief of Daobei Village, so we have withdrawn. What's the big deal?
"But……"
"Alright, alright, there's nothing to worry about. Over the years, everyone knows Daobei Village's contributions to socialist construction. Let's just leave it at that."
After Director Xie finished speaking, he did not stay at the door of Village Chief Li's house for long and continued walking forward.
"Where is Li Qingyang's home?"
Li Qingyang had received the news and was rushing here, and met Director Xie on the way.
He stepped forward and shook hands with Director Xie. "Hello, Director Xie, I'm Li Qingyang. What can I do for you?"
Director Xie shook Li Qingyang's hand and looked him over. He was a spirited young man. He wondered to himself, how had he caught the eye of his superiors? He looked quite ordinary.
Letting go of Li Qingyang's hand and taking a step back, Director Xie said to Li Qingyang very seriously,
"Comrade Li Qingyang, the organization has now officially appointed you as the village chief and production team leader of Daobei Village. I hope you will always bear in mind your responsibilities and lead all the comrades in Daobei Village to contribute to the construction of socialism."
Li Qingyang and Miao Yujiao discussed this matter together after returning home. He was also willing to take on the position of team leader, but he did not expect the appointment to come so soon.
He showed no surprise and stood at attention. "Yes. Please rest assured, the organization and Director Xie, I will do my best to lead the villagers of Daobei Village to work hard on production and strive to contribute our greatest strength to the construction of socialism."
"Good! Well said!"
Many villagers had gathered around, and some of the gentlemen who had a good relationship with Li Qingyang also applauded.
Afterwards, under the witness of Director Xie, the former village chief Li Da and Li Qingyang handed over all matters in the village, and then the team leader of Daobei Village was officially replaced by Li Qingyang.
After seeing Director Xie off, Li Qingyang was standing at the entrance of the village and hadn't gone home yet when Old Li came over with Tang Yue.
"Congratulations."
Li Qingyang turned around and saw the two of them, a smile on his face. He nodded at them, but some things were not suitable to be said in public, so he did not speak.
Tang Yue made a direct request, "Captain, some people from the educated youth camp came to my house this morning to cause trouble. I'm going to the Public Security Bureau to file a complaint. Captain, please arrange for a few villagers to come with me to serve as witnesses."
Li Qingyang didn't argue at all. "Well, I was there at the time. I'll find a few people to go with you."
Daobei Village is not busy these two days, and the people at the educated youth site are all resting at home with nothing to do.
Lu Yong was lying on the bed thinking about how to deal with the old Tang family when his follower Yu Qian came running back in a hurry.
Seeing Lu Yong still lying on the bed with his legs crossed, he couldn't help but shout,
"Brother Yong, why are you still lying there? Did you know that the village has a new team leader?"
Lu Yong sat up suddenly. "What? When did this happen? Why haven't I heard about it?"
"Just now, it was Li Qingyang who changed. Brother Yong, that Li Qingyang has always had a good relationship with the Tang family. What should we do now?"
Lu Yong sneered disdainfully, "What does that matter? If he dares to abuse his power for personal gain or commit fraud, I will report him to the Public Security Bureau."
Yu Qian then said anxiously, "Hey, Brother Yong. If we want to go, we should hurry up. The girl from the Tang family has already taken her grandfather to the Public Security Bureau."
"What?" Lu Yong jumped up from the bed, gritting his teeth.
"That damn girl! I haven't even thought about dealing with her yet, but she's already started looking for trouble with me. Humph, I won't let her succeed.
Let’s go to the Public Security Bureau.”
Yu Qian held Lu Yong and said, "Brother Yong, without a letter of introduction, we can't even enter the county town."
Lu Yongqi slammed his fist on the table. "What should we do? Are we just going to wait here?"
Yu Qian's eyes turned and he thought for a moment, "Brother Yong, the solution now is to quickly unite all the educated youth at the educated youth center. As long as we work together, the Public Security Bureau won't be able to deal with so many of us at the same time, don't you think?"
Lu Yong thought about it and realized that this made sense. He waved his hand and squinted his eyes, "Go to the courtyard and teach these people a lesson."
Tang Yue and his friends went to the county in the afternoon and returned before dark. People from the Public Security Bureau came with them.
They went directly to the educated youth camp and arrested all those who had caused trouble that day. No matter how Lü Yong and his men shouted, it did not change this fact.
Two days later, I heard that Lu Yong, Yu Qian, who was the most active with Lu Yong, and several other people were directly sent to a farm in the northwest for forced labor.
After the remaining group of followers came back, they received a collective ideological education in the commune, and after they came back, a formal ideological education meeting was held in the village.
Li Qingyang, the new official, took charge and thoroughly rectified the customs of Daobei Village, clarifying various Daobei Village rules. He emphasized that half of the prey brought back from the mountains should be handed over to the village, and the rest would belong to the villagers, and they would have the final say on how to deal with it.
Those who had some ulterior motives in Daobei Village finally calmed down. After all, being sent to a labor camp was no ordinary punishment. Peace had also returned to the educated youth camp.
At this point, the wild boar incident finally came to an end.
After returning home, Tang Yue finally had meat for every meal, but she didn't keep all five and a half wild boars for herself. Although it was winter, the climate in South Island was still relatively warm, and meat would still go bad if left out for too long.
Lin Cuicui traded the meat for a large vat and a large amount of salt, filling it with pickled pork. Li Da then took the lead in exchanging the remaining money for household items, including various coupons, for some wealthier families.
At this point, the Tang family could still be considered famous even if they spent money.
Director Xie had been feeling a bit confused these past few days. What was going on? Why was Li Qingyang getting all the good things?
He received a call from the army, saying they were going to build a medicinal material processing factory in Daobei Village.
Director Xie was excited when he heard this, but he wondered why the project should be built in Daobei Village. Daonan Village is much more convenient in terms of size and location, so he proposed it.
The troops only told him one thing: If they didn't build it in Daobei Village, then they wouldn't build it in their Erqi Commune.
How could this be? How could he miss such a good opportunity? He quickly said a lot of good things, and the other party finally relented and said that he would come to Daobei Village for an inspection in the next two days.
In Daobei Village, Tang Yue was talking about this matter with Li Qingyang.
Li Qingyang felt like his brain was running out of steam. He also felt like he had misheard. How could it be possible? Why would the army come to their village to build a factory? And how could such a big thing be known to little girl Yueyue first?
Tang Yue didn't care whether Li Qingyang believed it or not. While handling the herbs in her hand, she said, "I guess the army will come to check the specific location in the next two days. Uncle Li, you'd better take a look in the village first to see which places are suitable."
Miao's wife didn't know what to say. Why did she feel like good things happened to Cuicui's family every day since she met them? She wasn't as conservative as Li Qingyang. She felt that since Tang Yue mentioned it, it might be true.
"That Yueyue, how did you know?"
