Chapter 174 The meeting was intense
The members all made their assurances, and the secretary, seeing that everyone was willing to keep the secret, stretched out his hand and made a downward gesture. The members immediately stopped talking and looked at the secretary eagerly.
"Comrades, if you are willing to keep the secret, let the team leader tell you what the method is." The secretary went back and sat on the stool. The captain walked to where the secretary had just stood and cleared his throat.
"We have discussed that if we want to avoid starvation, we must have food to eat. Where can we get food? We can buy it with money." Before the captain finished speaking, someone impatiently said, "Captain, just tell us what to do."
The captain touched his nose awkwardly, and then loudly repeated what Ziyi and Yike had said last night. The people sitting on the threshing ground were immediately in an uproar...
"Wang Erdan, give me a punch. Is what the captain just said true?"
"Wang Liugen, you asked me to hit you." Wang Erdan punched Wang Liugen. Although he was hungry and had no strength, Wang Liugen also had no strength, so Wang Liugen spun around like a top.
"Oh my god, you idiot, you actually hit me." Wang Liugen turned around and felt dizzy. He reached out and grabbed Wang Erdan, "Hurry, help me up, I'm fainted from hunger."
Wang Erdan hurriedly helped Wang Liugen sit down. Wang Huzi joked, "Liugen, you are asking for trouble. Could what the secretary and the team leader said be false?"
"You're just kidding me. Oh, I won't talk to you anymore." Wang Liugen recovered his breath and hurried to find his wife, "Mother of the child, mother of the child?"
"Boss, I'm here." A woman was squeezing towards the entrance of the brigade office. When she heard her husband's call, she turned around and answered.
"What are you doing there? Why don't you go and sign up to get the fabric?" Wang Liugen yelled.
Wang Liugen's wife said aggrievedly: "I'm on my way, but there are too many people in front of me."
Only then did Wang Liugen notice that all the women were pushing forward, except for his own woman who was relatively close to the front.
It turned out that when the women heard that they could make money by making bags and that they could also get a share of fabric, they ignored everything else and started rushing to the front, fearing that it would be too late and there would be no more. How could it be like the men were still doubting the authenticity?
"Wife, good job. I'll reward you tonight when you get the cloth." Wang Liugen shouted.
"Hahahaha! Liugen, you can't even withstand a light punch, and you still have the strength tonight? Stop bragging." Wang Erdan said sarcastically.
"Humph! I don't have any strength because I didn't have breakfast." Wang Liugen threw the stool to his son, "Watch the stool, I'm going to help your mother."
"Wife, wife, go over to the side, left, left..." The threshing ground was in complete chaos, women pushed forward, children stepped back, and men shouted loudly.
Yike was stunned. She didn't expect that everyone was so enthusiastic about making money.
This is the case. But I have never experienced the hardship of being poor in both of my lives, so naturally I cannot understand how difficult life is without money, not to mention that this is a job that earns money to save lives.
"Wife Ziyi, I can make clothes, so I can definitely make bags too. Well, well, look, what do I have to do before I can get the fabric?" A middle-aged woman with messy hair stood in front of Yike. The woman looked embarrassed, twisting the corner of her clothes with both hands, looking at Yi Ke nervously.
"Me, me, and me," Before he could answer, a number of women suddenly came to him. The common feature of these women is that they all wore patched clothes, were equally nervous, and looked at Yi Ke with the same eagerness.
"Ziyi's wife, there are still us. Don't just distribute all the fabrics. We have to make them too." They were surrounded by three layers of people inside and outside, and those who couldn't squeeze in from outside stood on tiptoe and shouted.
The smell of stinky socks that had not been washed for several days penetrated into Yike's nostrils, and Yike almost vomited.
Yike was so scared that she stood up hurriedly and hid behind the director of women's affairs. She didn't dare to speak at all, for fear that the smell would rush into her mouth as soon as she opened her mouth. If she vomited in public, would people misunderstand that she was pregnant? But I still have other things on my mind.
The director of the women's department was also startled by the crowds of people, and she stood up and said, "Don't be anxious, don't crowd. Go find your team's production team leader to register your name, pay the money, and you can get the cloth."
"What? You want more money? We don't have any money, what should we do?" Some women were so anxious that they were about to cry when they heard that they needed money.
"Disperse, disperse, sit back and listen carefully. Why are you crowding in here without even understanding the situation?" the women's director yelled.
"Move aside, move aside, everyone go back and sit down, don't crowd, everyone has a cloth to receive, don't be anxious. Sit down first and listen to what we say, and ask again if you don't understand. No one is allowed to surround Yi Ke. If you stand there and don't leave, you won't be given any cloth." The team leader saw Yi Ke was "buried" in the crowd and shouted anxiously. "Splash!" Yi Ke seemed to hear the sound of the tide receding. The women moved really quickly. As soon as the captain finished speaking, there was nothing in front of him. The air came in with a whoosh, and Yike finally dared to breathe through his nose.
"Oh my god, I almost suffocated!" Yike murmured. She had held her breath just now.
"Yike, are you okay?" The director of the women's department asked anxiously when she saw Yike's red face and eyes seemed to be filled with tears.
"It's okay," Yike took deep breaths, and his lungs finally felt better. The tears he had held back quietly hid in his eyes, and his little face returned to normal.
"Ah, that, hehe, Director, those people are too active, hehe!"
"Well, of course they are active when there is money to be made. Who would be so active without money?" After the director of women's affairs confirmed that Yike was fine, she whispered, "Yike, leave some of the cloth for me. I also want to earn some money to buy food for my children."
"Okay. Auntie, come to my house when you have time and I'll teach you how to make it. I'll leave two bags of fabric for you and make sure you can earn money to buy food for your brothers and sisters."
The head of the women's department said happily, "Then I'll borrow your good words."
"Yike, are you okay?" After the women in the village dispersed, Ziyi quickly came forward.
"It's okay, I almost got suffocated to death." Yike said in a low voice.
Ziyi smiled and said, "Let's go back. The captain will take care of it. You should go back quickly to cut the cloth. The captains will come to your house to get the cloth in the afternoon. The captain said you should come here tonight to teach everyone how to do it. There are electric lights here, so it's bright."
"Why don't you go back and help me cut it? I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."
"Okay, I'll go talk to the captain then."
Ziyi went to talk to the team leader, who not only asked him to help with the cutting at home, but also gave both of them ten work points.
Although Ziyi and Yike didn't care about these ten work points, they were still very happy to receive their gratitude, which showed that these people were worth helping.
