Chapter 304: Educated Farmers
After yesterday's meeting, the mountain dwellers no longer acted in disarray, each doing their own thing.
As soon as the sky turned light today, the newly appointed managers Du Qingcang, Li Haoran and Hu Haohan began to give orders.
Listen:
Du Qingcang, the manager of the planting department, shouted in a loud voice: "You, you, and you, the three of you follow Team Leader Li Dashan to the rapeseed field and pull out the sick and weak seedlings and the weeds. Li Xiaoshan, you also take someone to the fields to see where there is water accumulation in the ditches and drain it out. Hu Xiangdong, Du Jiankang, you divide the rest of the people equally and go to the wasteland next to the wheat field in the east to clear the weeds and shrubs. We will continue to reclaim the wasteland and strive to have more land for cultivation next year. Li Dashan, Li Xiaoshan, you have done your work. If you have time, go and reclaim the wasteland, understand? In short, you are not allowed to be lazy."
Hu Haohan, the manager of the breeding department, was also giving orders there in a boastful manner. While giving orders for his department's work, he glanced at his wife sideways, fearing that she didn't see his managerial style.
Only the production department manager Li Youcai and deputy manager Zhang Yuling were discussing things quietly. They had to first decide what canned food and dried fruits to make today, and finally decided to make canned pears and dried apples first.
Li Youcai asked Chen Yue'er and Li Xiaoying to do it. Chen Yue'er and Li Xiaoying had done it last year, so they were familiar with it this year. They just had to teach a few new children. However, Chen Fugui, Hu Lili and Hu Fangfang could help.
Due to lack of manpower, the people from the breeding department had to come to the production department to help after finishing their work. They had no objections. After all, these products could be sold only after they were sold, and everyone could share the money. Old Su and Wu Feifei brought Xu Chaoqun to help as well.
After the managers of each department arranged the work of their own department, they walked towards the meeting room with the deputy manager as if they were insignificant.
Today, their task is to learn. It is said that we are learning some management knowledge. In Ziyi's words, there will be more and more people in the future, and we can no longer do things in the old way. We need to use scientific methods to do things. This is the understanding of Li Youcai, Hu Haohan and Du Qing. They are all very curious about scientific things and are willing to try them.
Because they had mentioned before that scientific chicken and duck farming had been successful and profitable, so when they heard the word "science", the three of them became very active and excited, and were proud of themselves for being able to learn it.
In the meeting room, everyone has a notebook and a pen in front of them. Du Qingcang held the pen and played with it. "Oh, this pen is too small, much smaller than the handle of a hoe. This pen is also too light, not even a fraction of the weight of a hoe. I feel comfortable today. I don't have to do any heavy work. It's relaxing. Haha."
Ma Youcai and Tang Jianguo were sitting next to him and sneered in their hearts at the same time.
Ma Youcai: No vision.
Tang Jianguo: Relax. Let’s see if you can still relax when class starts.
Others: It seems very light.
At noon, everyone came out of the meeting room.
"Ah, the sun is still the most friendly. It is comfortable to work under the sun." Someone sighed.
Yike: What's good about being sweaty in the sun?
Du Qingcang: It's the sun that helps humans detoxify, which is better than chewing a pen in a conference room.
"Brother Du, you said that holding a pen is easier than using a hoe. I listened to Ziyi's class for half a day and wrote for half a day, but why do I feel that the small pen is heavier than a hoe?" Li Youcai said, squinting at the dazzling sunlight. "Brother, please stop talking. I don't know if it's too late to regret now." Du Qingcang looked dejected.
"What do you want to do?" Li Youcai looked at him warily.
"What else can I do? Why not be a manager? This is really not something that a rough guy like you and me can do. I am the type who does whatever others tell me to do without using my brain." Du Qingcang was a little discouraged.
"Hehe, brother, you hit the nail on the head." Li Youcai felt the same way.
"What? You don't want to do it either?" Du Qingcang asked curiously.
"Yes, this pen is too heavy. My hands are weak and I can't lift it." Du Qingcang said dejectedly.
"Then why don't we go together?" Li Youcai suggested.
"Okay, let's go together." Du Qingcang was eager to have someone accompany him.
The two of them suddenly felt no longer dizzy and their eyes were no longer blurry. They held their heads high, lifted their shoulders, walked forward, and swung their arms as they returned to the meeting room.
Ziyi was talking to Tang Jianguo when he spotted two people who had returned. They looked as if they were ready to die. What were they trying to do?
"Ziyi, we want to tell you something." Du Qingcang said loudly, his clenched fists revealing his inner tension.
"Godfather, Uncle Li, what's the matter?" Ziyi gestured to Tang Jianguo to go first.
"It's like this," Du Qingcang felt relieved when he saw Tang Jianguo leave. Without outsiders present, he directly expressed his thoughts: "We are good at turning the fields with hoes, but we don't know many words, let alone writing. If we also have to use the management methods you mentioned earlier, it will definitely be difficult for the two of us. So we think we won't be managers anymore, and let the job be given to young people."
Ziyi didn't expect that the two of them wanted to quit on the first day, and he felt a little amused.
Ziyi had no choice but to persuade them patiently, and finally took out his trump card. He only trusted his own people. Would they be willing to give their purses to others for safekeeping?
Du Qingcang and Li Youcai thought it was right and they would feel at ease only if the company was managed by their own people.
In order to protect their children's and grandchildren's money bags, the two of them had to make up their minds to learn and use the pen as a hoe. The more they use it, the more skilled they will become. In Ziyi's words, "Practice makes perfect."
Ziyi went home and told Yike about this. Yike suggested that they should organize literacy classes in the evening. No matter whether they can read or not, they should all go to study at night. The younger generation can be trained earlier so that the older generation can be liberated earlier. Otherwise, when the situation outside is good, the company will have to move out of the mountains, and godfather and others will definitely not be able to cope with it.
The two of them asked Mr. Su and their aunt Wu Feifei to help as teachers, and they readily agreed. Mr. Su said that since he couldn’t do research now, he would just be a teacher first. Needless to say, Wu Feifei had agreed with Yike from the beginning that she would be a teacher in the school before the child was born.
So, from this day on, people who had worked all day would start to study happily in the evening.
But now they use electric lights instead of the kerosene lamps of the past. They are in the bright conference room, listening to the teacher imparting knowledge, with their backs straight. They are proud because they are also educated farmers.
Yike and Ziyi felt a sense of pride as they looked at these mountain people whose spirit and spirit had changed greatly.
They traveled through time and space to this parallel world. They could not change the poverty of the entire society all at once, but they could ensure that the people around them had enough food and warm clothing. They felt that they were worthy of their identity as time travelers and their lives had not been lived in vain.
