Chapter 339: The Chicken Raising Incident in Beishan Village 5
The secretary pretended to make a fist, put it close to his mouth and coughed twice, then said with a righteous look: "How about this, I will write a retirement application today and submit it to the commune for approval tomorrow, and I will retire early."
He continued, "If I don't become the secretary anymore, then Ziyi's wife should help you. If that doesn't work, you can promote her father Li Haoran to be the team leader, and the team leader will take over my position. I have already given in to this extent, is that okay? If it still doesn't work, then she is too petty."
The captain opened his mouth in astonishment and didn't close it for a long time. Did the secretary get hit on the head? How could he say such shameless words? Others had the same idea as the captain, which refreshed their understanding of the secretary.
The women's director was so angry that she spat on the ground and said sarcastically, "Some people really get thicker-skinned as they get older. They're clearly at retirement age, but they act like they're so great. It's as if they've made so many sacrifices for the whole village. Do you want all the villagers to be grateful to you? Do you want Li Haoran to be grateful to you, too? Without your promotion, he wouldn't have become the team leader."
"By the way, shouldn't our current team leader also be grateful to you? If he becomes the secretary, it will be because you promoted him. You see, by then the team leader and Li Haoran will be grateful to you, and all the members will be grateful to you too."
"When the time comes, you can walk around the village with your head held high and no one will dare to stop you. If anyone stops you, you will be accused of being ungrateful. Your abacus is jingling loudly, but it is still vertical."
"I remember you were only a week away from retirement age, but you said you wanted to retire early for the sake of the village, and to promote Li Haoran to be the team leader for Ziyi's wife to come back. You are really good at calculating, and you have planned everything out. You are playing us all for fools, bah!"
The captain also looked at the secretary with a bad face. It seemed that the secretary knew the decision from above, but used the decision to do favors.
What the women's director said just now was very true. With the secretary's actions, people who don't know the truth will really think that he retired for the sake of the whole village. In order to raise chickens, he asked Ziyi's wife to come back as a technician, and he retired early out of grievance.
The chicken farming was successful and he made money, so everyone had to thank him. If he fails and suffers a loss, he is not responsible. Whether successful or not, he is a hero and someone who has made great sacrifices.
In future production arrangements, if he is picky or interferes with his work, everyone will have to give in to him, because he has made sacrifices, and it will be difficult to carry out their work.
The team leader was no longer going to save face for the secretary. He said loudly, "Secretary, you don't have to retire early. Raising chickens won't cost you another week. We can do it after you retire, so that you won't be held responsible if there are any problems in the future."
The team leader paused and continued, "You may not know this yet, but half a month ago, the commune had a talk with me. After the secretary retires, they asked me to take over the position of secretary. The team leader was also appointed by the commune, and that is brother Li Haoran."
"The reason is that Li Haoran donated three cows. Such a selfless person is the most suitable to be our leader. I think everyone has no objection, right? Of course, if you have any objections, go to the commune. I don't have the power to change the commune's decision." "I didn't intend to talk about this matter. I thought I would talk about it after the secretary retired, but I think the secretary must have known the arrangement from above, so I am not afraid to talk about it."
The people in the meeting room were confused again. It turned out that what the secretary said was true. It was just that it was not the secretary who recommended him, but the commune who appointed him. The secretary's words really showed his intentions...
"Hahahaha, great, great, a leader is a leader. Even if he's not in our team, he can recognize talent." The women's director laughed, and then added, "This time someone's wishful thinking was wrong."
Although the others did not embarrass the secretary as directly as the director of women's affairs did, the secretary could see the contempt in their eyes.
The secretary thought that the team leader didn't know about the appointment from above, so he wanted to do them a favor. However, he didn't sell the favor, but instead the inside story was exposed. It really proves the saying that you lose the rice while trying to steal the chicken.
The secretary stood up and walked away, his face gloomy as if ink was about to drip out, and before leaving, he glanced around viciously...
The secretary had been gone for a long time and the meeting room was quiet for a while. Everyone was really frightened by the secretary's vicious look, and no one recovered from the shock for a while.
The team leader waited until the secretary walked away before he said to everyone present: "Don't bother with the secretary. He is about to retire. We should just do what we need to do."
"Yes, we won't waste our time on those people who are looking for trouble." said the women's director.
Wang Jianjun, the leader of a production team, tried to smooth things over, saying, "We are all from the same village. We will meet each other sooner or later. Forget it. Let's talk about raising chickens. Leader, you tell us what to do. We will do whatever you say. We will all listen to you."
"Yes, Captain, just tell us, we will listen to you."
"Yes, every year when there is a shortage of food, it is the team leader who finds solutions for the members, so we trust the team leader's decision."
…
Everyone present expressed their willingness to follow the captain's arrangements.
The captain was very happy that everyone supported him, and he felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.
He cleared his throat and said, "Everyone thinks highly of me and believes in me, so I will tell you what Ziyi and his wife said in my house before."
The team leader told Ziyi the suggestion he had made, that the village should open a chicken farm, which should be large-scale and raise chickens scientifically. As for chicken diseases, as long as the prevention work is done well, it is not easy to get plague.
The team leader couldn't say for sure that he wouldn't get the plague. Whether or not he got sick depended on God's care, just like the crops in the fields depended on God's favor for their survival. So he said it can be prevented, but in fact he doesn’t know how to prevent it, or whether it can really be prevented.
"Chicken plague can be prevented. If we really have such technology, then what is there to be afraid of? Just raise them." Wang Jianjun, the captain of Team 1, was impatient and immediately shouted that he wanted to raise them.
The captain stretched out his hand and pressed lightly, signaling Wang Jianjun to stop shouting and tell him to finish what he was saying.
"We must raise chickens. If we don't change, our village will always be the poorest. No matter what, we have to give it a try. I plan to raise 300 chickens in each production team first. My wife, the director and Zhang Xiuying will serve as technicians in each production team, and Yi Ke will serve as the chief technician." The team leader spoke out his thoughts in one breath.
"Also, raising so many chickens requires a report to the higher authorities. This needs to be a written report, so have it written by the team accountant. Once it's written, all of our cadres must sign it, and I'll submit it to the commune. Let's discuss it and see if it's okay?" After the team leader finished speaking, he slowly drank the boiled water and said no more.
