Chapter 338: The Chicken Raising Incident in Beishan Village 4
"Stop, stop arguing," the secretary slammed the table and yelled, "What's there to argue about? Do you really think raising chickens is that simple and that a girl can do it well?"
The secretary's sharp eyes swept over every cadre present. "Haha, you are so useless. You just believe everything you hear. You don't even need to think about it. A few years ago, those who raised chickens and pigs had their food eaten by livestock. There was a plague last year, and all the chickens, ducks and pigs were sold at low prices. Those production teams had no food left. What happened in the end? What? Have you all forgotten?"
"Didn't the captain's family and the director's family both succeed in raising pigs?" Captain Wang Jianjun muttered.
"Yes, I've been there to see her. She's really good-looking, not fake." The leader of the second production team agreed.
The team leader of the third production team and the team secretary remained silent and did not speak.
"The fish are growing well, that's because there are only a few of them, only a dozen or twenty. They eat well, so of course they grow well. If you are willing to let them eat the food, you can raise them yourself. Who do you need to be a technician? It's such an easy job, but you still want to get full work points. You really have smart minds." The secretary criticized and ridiculed the team leaders, leaving them stunned.
The team leader sighed in his heart. He was not as eloquent as the secretary. Seeing that the chicken raising plan was about to fail again, he was very annoyed. When he was racking his brains to think of how to convince the secretary, Wang Jianjun, the team leader of a production team, spoke.
Team leader Wang Jianjun said, "Secretary, before the village was divided into teams, we also raised chickens and ate so well. We didn't eat so well, but those chickens took several months to weigh more, and the hens took even longer to raise. How long have the director's chickens been around? Everyone knows that those chickens are better. I don't care. Our production team will raise chickens next year, and we will hire Yi Ke to be our technical instructor. If we don't change and don't give it a try, we will always be the poorest team in the commune."
The secretary was so angry that he pointed at Wang Jianjun and cursed: "You are making trouble and not following the leadership's instructions. I will revoke your position as team leader."
"Haha, just withdraw. Instead of watching the villagers starve without trying to find a way to change it, it's better not to do anything. There's a good saying in the drama "My Foot", if an official doesn't serve the people, he might as well go home and grow sweet potatoes. Next year when there's a lean season, please ask the secretary to think in advance about how to help the members get through it!" Wang Jianjun said sarcastically with nonchalance.
"You, you," the secretary was so angry that his hands were shaking as he pointed at Wang Jianjun, "you are a rebel, you are a rebel."
The team leader immediately stood up and helped the secretary sit down, and persuaded him: "Secretary, please be careful with your words. You can't say this word. We are from the same village, so just give a few words of criticism."
Shuqi sat down panting, perhaps realizing that the word really could not be said, so he remained silent for the time being.
However, seeing Wang Jianjun's unconvinced look, he wanted to beat him up. If he hadn't seen that they were all from his own tribe, he would have definitely removed him from his position as captain to see if he dared to challenge him.
"Today we are discussing whether raising chickens is feasible or not. We should not decide to do it on impulse. We should think about the pros and cons first. This is related to the food rations of all members. If we raise chickens, they will definitely eat food. They cannot grow up on empty stomach." The team leader waited until everyone sat down and calmed down before he started talking again.
Everyone in the conference room was silent. Anything related to food should be treated with caution. Now they realized that they were indeed impulsive at the beginning, so they calmed down and listened carefully.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him eagerly, the team leader felt a stronger sense of responsibility. He did not keep everyone in suspense and spoke directly to the point: "I want all members to make their own decisions. We will not make decisions on our own this time, so as to avoid being blamed by everyone if something goes wrong. The main reason is that we need to save food from everyone's rations this time. If raising chickens is successful, everyone will be happy. But if it is not successful, like other villages before, they will get chicken plague and all die in a few days. So, if we really want to raise chickens, everyone must agree."
"This is fine. We need everyone to agree before we can use the grain to raise chickens. Otherwise, why don't we raise a smaller number first as an experiment, and then raise more if it's successful," the accountant suggested.
"Why do we need to do experiments? The director and the team leader's family have already done experiments. Oh, and Tiechui's family also raised chickens using scientific methods. Wasn't it very successful? Why waste time? We already have chicken-raising technicians. There is one for the director, one for the team leader's aunt, and one for Tiechui's family. There are just enough for three teams. As for Ziyi's wife, I'm afraid no one can afford it." said Wang Jianjun, the team leader of a production team. "Why can't we invite her? Isn't she a nice girl? I heard that whenever she comes back, the children will go to her house to eat candy. Moreover, I heard that she has a rule that those who like to fight or bully their younger siblings will not get any candy, only good children will get it." The team leader of the second production team asked curiously.
The leader of the third production team nodded in agreement and said, "You are right. There is a little bully in our team who used to bully his sisters. When his mother scolded her daughters as losers, he followed suit. It is said that he once went to Ziyi's house and was taught a lesson by Ziyi's wife. Later, he gradually changed for the better. Not only did he change for the better, but his mother also didn't dare to beat or scold those girls casually. Because the little bully said that if his mother bullied his sisters, he would not provide her with old-age care."
"Really? There is such a thing. No wonder there are fewer naughty kids in the village. The root cause is here." The brigade accountant said in surprise.
"Captain Wang said that he couldn't invite her, and I was surprised. Logically, how could a kind-hearted girl be unwilling to help the villagers?" The captain of the second production team asked the same question again.
The brigade cadres all knew the reason, so they all lowered their heads and pretended to drink water, and no one said anything.
Wang Jianjun, the team leader of a production team, tried his best to raise chickens. He risked offending the secretary again and told the story of how he made bags last time, found a way and taught the method, and finally the secretary picked peaches. It also talked about the consequences after Ziyi's wife quit her job - except for the money they made when they were working with Ziyi's wife, no one made any money after Ziyi's wife quit.
The captains and accountants of the three production teams all looked at the secretary. It had been a while since that incident and everyone had almost forgotten about it. It was only after Wang Jianjun, the leader of a production team, mentioned it that everyone remembered it. They didn't know the inside story and just thought that the secretary's eldest daughter-in-law was the one who did it, but they didn't expect that the secretary was also involved.
The secretary felt uneasy when everyone was staring at him, and was annoyed that the production team leader, Wang Jianjun, always kept harping on that matter.
He didn't regret it until the bag business in the village could no longer be continued and was almost losing money. Many people scolded him behind his back, thinking he didn't know.
Phew, he won’t get involved in raising chickens this time. When you guys fall flat on your face, we’ll see who’ll laugh at you…
