Little Shitou had never expected that a few ancient poems would reveal his talent and his days of living a life of idleness and waiting for death at home would come to an end.
But he is a good-tempered boy. He goes to school with his brother and meets many new playmates, which makes him happy.
This generation, rural children do not need to be picked up and dropped off when going to school.
A group of big and small kids, playing wherever they go, forming groups, with someone to take care of them along the way.
After both children went to school, Xiao Jiahua had some free time.
She found an opportunity, called Cai Xiaoju, and went to the county town with her.
.
Cai Xiaoju petitioned to go to the border, and Village Chief Zhao, mindful of her sincerity, specially approved her home visit leave.
But in fact, Xiao Jiahua and Cai Xiaoju came to the county town this time to "borrow" a harvester.
Since May, wheat has gradually matured across the country, from the south to the north.
Thanks to the abundant supply of fertilizers, the wheat in Qinghe Farm is growing well this month and the yield will undoubtedly reach a new high.
Village chief Zhao held a harvest mobilization meeting half a month in advance.
He asked everyone to sharpen their sickles, for fear that the harvest would be too late and it would rain again.
However, Xiao Jiahua felt that manual harvesting of wheat was tiring and slow, and how could it be as efficient as a harvester?
With the harvester, a week's farm work for the entire brigade can be completed by just a few people in two days, saving a lot of time and manpower and resources.
As the most lazy young wife in the village, she had to find a way to make trouble.
The supply and marketing cooperative's head office, Manager Wang, and goods manager Lao Xu were all there.
When they heard Xiao Jiahua's request, they all thought she was daydreaming.
The most popular harvester nowadays is the self-propelled combine harvester.
By introducing Soviet technology, harvesting and threshing can be done in one step, which is very efficient.
Every summer, major farms compete fiercely with each other.
It is true that Qinghe Farm has a high yield, but its arable land area is not the largest.
In addition, there is a circle of "poor households" surrounding the area and the terrain is complex, so it cannot be included in the pilot list of the Ministry of Agriculture.
At this point, Manager Wang poured cold water on the idea without any hesitation.
"You must be kidding! You can borrow a harvester whenever you want? There are only a few in our county. The county government and the Ministry of Agriculture have the final say on who can use it and who gets to use it first!"
Wang Zhanfa's voice was a little loud. Cai Xiaoju was already feeling guilty, and she became even more nervous when she was scolded. She kept her head down and looked at her toes the whole time.
When the village supply and marketing cooperative opened, Xu Deshun, as the goods supervisor, had visited Qinghe Village and was considered an old acquaintance.
He kindly comforted Xiao Jiahua: "The harvester is under the jurisdiction of the agricultural department, and the supply and marketing cooperative company belongs to the commercial bureau. We can only give suggestions to the leaders, but we don't have the right to call for it."
Xiao Jiahua boldly proposed: "What if our company can earn the money of three harvesters in one summer?"
Manager Wang thought she was dreaming.
One harvester costs several thousand yuan, and three of them cost at least 20,000 yuan. These are astronomical figures that ordinary people dare not even dream of.
Although he failed at the outset, Xiao Jiahua was not discouraged.
She smiled and asked Xu Deshun: "Manager Xu, do you still remember your old student Xu Minqiang?"
Xu Minqiang, formerly a purchasing agent at the town supply and marketing cooperative, now works as an accountant at the county detergent factory.
Xu Shunde immediately recalled the promotion history of this old scholar.
It is said that Xu Minqiang was praised for being a "self-taught talent" who contributed an improved soap formula.
He was even featured in the Advanced Daily, and was later recruited by the county's detergent factory and promoted to a city official.
Later, Xu Minqiang worked in a detergent factory. His nominal position was an accountant, but the factory director wanted to lock him up in the workshop and make him research and develop soap day and night.
Fortunately, he had received guidance from Xiao Jiahua before and had a certain theoretical foundation, so it was easy for him to cope with general production, but it was difficult to improve the products and strive for excellence.
He was under tremendous pressure every day and could only talk to his old friend Xu Deshun.
Although others do not know this, Xu Deshun knows that his father's promotion is all due to Xiao Jiahua's contribution to the town supply and marketing cooperative.
He firmly believed that if Xiao Jiahua said he could earn enough to buy three harvesters, then he definitely had the ability to do so.
After all, he witnessed the whole process and saw Xiao Jiahua running the two supply and marketing cooperatives very prosperously.
He had no doubt that this young wife was a walking cash cow.
At this point, Xu Deshun stopped Wang Zhanfa.
"Manager Wang, our leader once said, 'Nothing is difficult in this world as long as you are willing to climb'. I think we should also give young people some opportunities!"
Wang Zhanfa: “…”
Fortunately, this overbearing boss doesn’t adopt the “I want to do what I feel” approach.
Manager Wang is very democratic. He said that they could discuss it and first listen to Xiao Jiahua's money-making plan.
