After receiving the money, Wang Fulin felt both happy and sad. He noticed a lump in his throat and quickly lowered his head.
"Let's go back, everyone's waiting in the village!"
On the way back, everyone was quite happy. They said that everything is difficult at the beginning, but now that things have started, things will definitely get better and better in the future.
At that moment, everyone on the bus was filled with hope for the future of the Hongshan Brigade's sideline business.
Unlike the somber atmosphere on the way there, everyone chatted casually on the way back, and even Zhao Cheng was drawn into the conversation.
The people on the bus were chatting, and the people waiting on the road were also chatting, but the two groups were in different moods.
Just as the anxious group of people were discussing whether they could make money, and whether they would buy cloth to make clothes for their daughters or buy some meat for their families, they heard the sound of a tractor approaching from afar.
A group of people got up in unison, and even before the powder tractor arrived, they carried their tools and went ahead to clear the road.
Wang Weiguo had just driven the tractor onto the side road when he realized something was wrong and turned to look at his father.
Wang Fulin naturally noticed this as well. His expression, which was hard to describe as joyful, became slightly complicated, and he sighed softly.
"Let's go back and share the good news with everyone, and distribute the money. With everyone working together this year, we should be able to have a good New Year."
"Yes, it definitely will. Society is getting better and better, and everyone will get better and better in the future..."
The tractor deliberately didn't drive very fast, so it didn't catch up with the group of people in front.
When they returned to the brigade headquarters, they found that almost everyone who had participated in the bean sprout mission was still waiting for them to return.
Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian cooked a big pot of ginger tea with Tian Haiying. Everyone who came back from outside was given a bowl of hot ginger soup, which was very heartwarming.
Wang Fulin and his group deliberately waited until everyone had finished drinking the ginger tea before announcing the good news they had brought back.
"Okay, everyone should be feeling a bit warmer now, so let's give you the latest news: all the bean sprouts our team took out have been accepted by other teams!"
Not only that, we also received all the payment for the goods. In addition, the team paid for the 20 jin (10 catties) that were used for bribes. We, as family members, paid 5 cents per jin, which totaled 13.15 yuan. We brought it all back, not a penny less.
Since the prices negotiated outside varied, our team simply averaged them out so that no one would lose out. Any spare change that we couldn't pay would be saved and distributed later.
I keep my word. From now on, we can come and collect our pay according to the amount we've completed! You'll get 5 points per pound!
As soon as the captain finished speaking, the crowd erupted in cheers once again.
"We can get a share of the money now? That's fantastic!"
"Yes, who would have thought it would be so fast? This is wonderful!"
"Oh dear, if only... our family should have taken on more missions! Oh dear, I'm so regretful!"
"Don't even mention it. Our family gets even less, just two jin (1 kg). What's that enough for? Sigh..."
It was already quite a while past noon, and Wang Fulin, wanting everyone to go back and have lunch in peace, interrupted their conversation and got straight to the point.
"Alright, everyone, we can chat later. Let's collect our money according to our tasks first."
We need to deliver bean sprouts again in 10 days. After you've collected your money, see if you can claim the next task.
However—this time, the task requires an additional 80 pounds!
