Chapter 263: Want all the children in the village to go to school
As soon as the sun set at noon, Shen Yutian ran home, talked to Shen Meng for a while, and quickly led the family to the workshop to prepare for dinner.
"There are a group of people waiting for my younger sister over there. It's no use telling them not to be anxious. They don't listen to me. The village chief and the party secretary are standing there. If they say to call people, then they have to call people."
"Well, it's okay. Anyway, it's time for dinner. I'm hungry too. The food is free. Let's go and eat. We can save our own food!"
Shen Yutian sighed. How could the free meat and dishes be so delicious? He said he was inviting his sister to dinner, but he wanted his sister to do the work. Humph!
The food workshop was also converted into a large canteen in the village, but the canteen in Shenjiaji is a little small. Most of the people in the village were refugees from famine, so it can't be compared with other villages.
Although the place is not big, it is cleaned very hygienically. The female workers are wearing work clothes and work hats, and those who are close to the stove are wearing cotton masks, which is very professional.
In the small house next to it, there is a long table with ten plates of food, including fish, chicken, meat and eggs, and a bottle of white wine on the main seat.
When Village Chief Wu saw Shen Meng, he was very enthusiastic. He and the secretary of the branch invited him to the main seat.
"Haha, Xiao Meng, you finally came here. Our workshop is really flourishing. Come on, come on, you sit in the main seat, it will be convenient for us to report our work."
"The village chief is right. This is the first time for us to run a workshop. Although it is affiliated with the non-staple food factory and there are special people to inspect, we are still unsure!"
Shen Meng didn't say anything and let them push her to the main table.
After arranging her, they started to call Shen Fugui and Wang Guizhi, and also called Shen Shoutian and Shen Yutian. The rest were all respected people in the village.
After the conversation started, they started to talk about the past. In short, Shen Meng should think more about the village. After all, this is the place where she was born and raised. She can't only value her husband's family and not her parents' family.
Shen Meng laughed and focused on eating, occasionally wiping Ming Kai's mouth.
The secretary was a smart man, and he knew everything about Lujia Village and the commune. The village chief didn't mean any harm, he was just too anxious. They were really poor in the past, and now the villagers finally had a chance to make money, so he wanted everyone in the village to live a better life, and it would be best if everyone could save money so that their children could go to school.
After three rounds of drinks, Shen Meng didn't say a word of promise, which made her attitude clear. She was not someone who could be held hostage by these shallow emotions. If she really wanted to do something, she had to show her attitude.
"Xiao Meng, don't mind it. Old Wu is just too anxious. Our village can build a workshop and make money. So many people remember your kindness. Really, our ancestors are all refugees from all over the world. We know what it feels like to be poor and how rare your kindness is. We admire you a hundred times, really. But you can see that in our village, our village has the least number of primary schools in the commune. The village chief is anxious when he looks at the children in the village!"
"Secretary, if you had said this earlier, wouldn't this be easier to talk about? If I didn't care about the village, could I have helped our village? There are so many villages in Xiangyang Commune, why did you choose our village? Isn't it because you want our village to be good? What is food? It's a consumable. The things made in our workshop are the best-selling in the county supply and marketing cooperative and the town supply and marketing cooperative. Although the workshop has only been established for ten days, it must have made a lot of money!"
Village chief Wu calmed down after hearing her words.
"It's true that we make a lot, but compared to Lujia Village, it's still far behind."
Shen Meng picked up the water cup at hand and took a sip. He just raised his legs and thought about taking off. How is it possible? No one is a fool. Even if you take your own products to promote them outside, you have to have the ability to make them!
"Village head, party secretary, I just want to ask you, if our small workshop really receives a big order now, can you do it? Do you have so much food and materials? Do you have so many qualified workers?"
Shen Meng's words made everyone at the table choke.
The village head and the party secretary opened their mouths, not knowing what to say. Every time the food factory delivered grains and supplementary materials, they were all in fixed quantities. The cakes and other things that came out were also checked over and over again before they were shipped. If there really was a big order, it would be difficult to make it.
"Two days ago, a reporter from the provincial capital came to interview me. I have already promoted our Shenjiaji workshop. The reporter promised to introduce our food workshop in the newspaper. I also left the phone number of the bus company. If someone really calls, our workshop will have an order. But village chief, we want to be able to deal with the big orders that are coming soon. So we all have to work together to run the workshop well. The village chief and the party secretary should remember to apply for some materials when they meet the director of the non-staple food factory next time. Let Kong Hui pay attention to this matter as well."
The village chief and just heard it were overjoyed. They were still thinking about how to make the workshop bigger and stronger, but they didn't expect that Shen Meng had recommended Shenjiaji to the reporter from the provincial capital when they didn't know.
"Hey, Xiao Meng, I misunderstood. Uncle wants to apologize to you. This glass of wine is your apology."
Village Chief Wu drank the wine in one gulp. Shen Meng also stood up and gestured to him with the water in his hand. He was not arrogant at all.
"Right now, I am thinking that my second sister-in-law is pregnant now. I am afraid she can't work in this workshop anymore. After she has a baby, I still want her to work in the hair flower factory. There must be someone from me there. Otherwise, I would be blind. If there is someone who pretends to obey me but is secretly disobeying me, I don't know how to deal with it. Of course, I believe that there will be no such person in our workshop. My eldest brother and sister-in-law will just work in the workshop. I don't want others to do anything. As for my second elder brother, I'm thinking about when I'll let him learn to drive. After he learns to drive, he can help deliver goods to the village. When our workshop makes money, we can buy tractors and tricycles, right? "
Shen Shoutian and Shen Yutian felt relieved when they heard the future plans that Shen Meng had arranged for them. They knew that their younger sister would not ignore them. Even if it was work, she would pick the best ones for them.
"It's a small matter, a small matter, it's all a small matter. As long as our workshop is good and the people in the village live well, Shoutian and Yutian can walk around the workshop."
"Xiaomei has been working for quite a while and is about to give birth to a child. I'll make the decision. The workshop will give her a subsidy of five yuan and two boxes of cakes. After she gives birth, we will visit her and let her recuperate at home!"
