Chapter 182 The Road to Wealth Begins 1
"Well, if we can get all of these out, we will have plenty of food to eat and won't be short of meat." The captain's eldest son spoke his true feelings.
"Ziyi, tell me the truth, what Yike just said, have you already made it in your mountain? Is the effect really that good?"
"Yes, we started doing it last year. All the chickens, ducks and pigs are growing well and are not sick. This is mainly because they eat earthworms and we pay attention to hygiene. We also applied fertilizer to the fields this year, and the rice, sweet potatoes and other crops are growing better than before."
"Then what are we waiting for? You've already done the experiment, so we can just do it."
"Then you have to convince the other officers in your brigade. After all, they haven't been in contact with us for a long time and may not believe it."
"That's no problem. We won't do everything at once. Let's start with raising chickens and earthworms. These are things that everyone is familiar with."
"That's fine. Let my sister-in-law learn from Yi Ke first. When they hatch, everyone will see it with their own eyes and believe it. Let my sister-in-law learn how to raise earthworms as well. We only need to let the brigade cadres and production team leaders know about it for now. We'll announce it after we succeed."
The conversation at the captain's house that night made the captain sigh with emotion decades later. He said to his grandchildren: "The road to prosperity for our Beishan Village started from that night..."
…
The next day, Tang Jianguo went to the provincial capital with the task assigned by Ziyi, and also took away the backpacks and waist bags made by the members. There is no contract signed with the supply and marketing cooperative yet, so Ziyi asked Brother Tang to take the cloth to the provincial capital to see what price it can be sold for. At the same time, he notified other people to purchase fabrics, especially processed fabrics and scraps, and also to purchase five sewing tickets.
Ziyi and Yike went to the brigade headquarters, because today they were going to explain the chicken and pig farming plans in detail to other cadres, discuss the feasibility together, and strive to get the chicken farm and pig farm underway at the same time.
On the way, they met some members who were going to work. This time, they all had warm smiles on their faces and they all greeted Ziyi and the others.
"Ziyi, Ziyi's wife, where are you going?" A middle-aged man with a thin and long face greeted with what he thought was a kind smile.
Yike really wanted to tell him to stop laughing, because his face was so skinny and long, and when he laughed it really looked like watching a horror movie.
"Uncle, good morning. The captain asked us to come over." Ziyi said with a smile, and Yike smiled and nodded to greet him.
"The captain called you? That must be good news. Go quickly and don't keep the captain waiting for too long."
"Ziyi, Ziyi's wife, where are you two going?" An aunt saw Ziyi and his wife and asked enthusiastically.
"Hello, auntie. The captain asked us to go over." Ziyi explained again.
"Ziyi's wife, do you have any fabric for that bag today?" The aunt looked at Yike with hopeful eyes.
"Aunt, there's no more today. I've asked someone to buy some." Yike replied.
"Oh, that's good, that's good, as long as there is still work to do, it's fine. If there is nothing to do today, then there is nothing to do." The aunt looked scared, but fortunately Yi Ke's answer put her at ease.
"Ziyi, are you taking your wife out? Aren't you going to work today?"
"Ziyi, Ziyi's wife, are you going to town to buy cloth? Will there be cloth distribution tonight?"
"Really? Then I'll tell my wife when I get home at noon so that I don't have to keep thinking about running to Ziyi's house."
Ziyi and Yike passed by the production team headquarters and met several people who were waiting for the production team leader to arrange their work. Everyone greeted Ziyi and the other person at once, and Ziyi patiently answered them.
Ziyi and Yike finally arrived at the brigade headquarters. Even after walking such a short distance, they actually broke out in sweat. These people were so enthusiastic.
"Ziyi, Ziyi's wife, you're here." The captain came out of the office and saw Ziyi and his partner. "I was just about to use the loudspeaker to call you."
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
The two greeted each other and followed the captain into the office.
In the office, the team leaders were already sitting at their desks. It looked like they had been there for a while, because the amount of boiled water in their enamel cups was more than half gone.
"Hello, Secretary!"
"Good accounting!"
"Hello, Director!" Ziyi and Yike greeted every cadre politely.
"Don't be so polite, just sit there." The secretary pointed to two empty seats on the left.
Ziyi and Yike walked over and sat down. The director of women's affairs poured two cups of boiling water for Ziyi and Yike in enamel cups and said with a smile: "Ziyi, Ziyi's wife, these two enamel cups will be the special cups for your two offices from now on. Mark them well so that they won't be mixed up with others."
"Why does it come with an enamel cup? We have one at home. We can bring it with us next time we come. There's no need to waste this. We can leave it for someone in need." Ziyi refused.
"Home is home, and this is the office. You can't bring a cup every time you come to the office, right? That would be awkward," said the secretary.
"Yes, just listen to the secretary and take them. I have also prepared desks for you, but they are a little old. They were replaced by the commune last year. I happened to be in a meeting at the commune, so I shamelessly asked for two." The team leader said proudly, "Many team leaders were vying for them at that time, but I was the only one who got two. No other team leaders got any."
The secretary teased, "That's because they're not as thick-skinned as you. They're clinging on to it and won't let go. These replaced desks are for the Women's Federation. If you don't lie down on the desk and don't get down, you'll have a share."
"It's okay if you don't have the face, as long as you get what you want. Ziyi, you don't know, although that kind of desk is a bit old, the wood is really good. If it is painted, it will be new. The main thing is that it is not like ours, which is just a piece of wood with four legs. Theirs has drawers under the wood, and drawers under the drawers, and they are locked." The captain boasted proudly.
The accountant couldn't help but laugh and said, "Ziyi, Ziyi's wife, you don't know, this guy is really shameless. The team leaders who were in the meeting with him said that the female comrades from the Women's Federation were going to push him off the table. He didn't even wait for the female comrades to get close before shouting that they were being hooligans, saying that the female comrades were going to be hooligans. Haha, this even alarmed the leader. The leader asked him to come down, but he still refused, saying that there was no carpenter in the village, and the desk was made of several pieces of wood, and it was difficult to write. He also said that it was old anyway, so why couldn't he give it to their team? He also said that when the desks arrived at the team, it meant supporting rural construction. In the end, he really succeeded. I don't know where he got the courage to go against the leaders at that time. When the other teams saw that he succeeded, they all regretted not grabbing two. Haha, Ziyi, don't look at our team leader's serious appearance, but he is indeed a famous lazy man in the commune. As long as it is useful to the team, he wants to take it back."
