Some people were unwilling at first, but they had money, and they could pay directly.
It can be said that basically everyone in the brigade started to get busy, and the educated youth from the Youth Office helped with registration.
Li Feng and several female educated youth came to help with the registration.
Some goose-warming stones and rocks by the river were laid on the road. Someone wanted to take advantage of them, but was criticized by the branch secretary, who deducted two baskets of goose-warming stones from him. This punishment was really sigh-worthy, because a basket of goose-warming stones cost ten cents, and a basket of sand also cost ten cents. This was basically picking up money. There were no goose-warming stones, but there was sand. A male member could easily pick up more than ten baskets of sand a day, with no problem at all.
Such a big commotion naturally alarmed other teams.
Accountant Zhao also discussed with the captains of other brigades about building roads together. Some brigades agreed and let their members build roads, but some brigades were unwilling to do so and were unwilling to work for free.
Accountant Zhao didn't force it.
Building roads benefits future generations.
What's more, now that the road has been built, the journey to town is not so bumpy anymore and it's much faster.
There are many people in Zhaojia Village, and it took about half a month to build this road.
After completing the work, Ji Yuanhang asked the members to line up on the spot to collect the money they earned in the past half month.
After distributing the hard-earned money to the members, Ji Yuanhang sighed. It is really not an easy thing to make money.
But the members are happy. Some members earn ten yuan a family every half a month. They are so happy.
"Yuanhang, do you have any money left?"
Although Fang Aijun doesn't manage money, he knows something about the expenses during this period.
"I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow and get some money back." Otherwise, there would be no money for the duck farm to operate.
"I finally understand that I have to spend every penny wisely." Ji Yuanhang said this with a smile on his face. The road from Zhaojia Village Brigade to the town has been paved, but it cannot be considered repaired. Cement and other things are still needed.
But the duck factory couldn't afford to buy cement.
"But there is also a sense of accomplishment." Fang Aijun has been rather naughty since he was a child. Fights were common and he was often beaten. But after going to the countryside, he really learned a lot, such as cooking and doing something big. He wrote a letter to his parents before, telling them about the duck farm. His parents sighed that he had grown up.
This is encouragement and recognition to him.
"That's true, but we still owe the members some money for sweet potatoes and pumpkins."
Every penny must be calculated.
"Even during the busy farming season, I haven't seen members so enthusiastic. But this time, when it comes to road construction, they are so enthusiastic that even the children are busy helping out."
Some elderly people helped to pick up goose-warming stones and pack sand.
This is really a sense of accomplishment for them.
"Since it concerns their interests, of course they will be active." Ji Yuanhang felt that this was nothing, as many people still put their interests first.
Because they were busy building the road, even Ling Yunrui was busy.
However, he had some free time, so he still finished knitting the sweater. His hands were very skillful, and he knew how to use his hands to knit the sweater very gently. He learned from others and asked when he didn't understand.
Zhao Jiaojiao didn't know about this.
She caught a cold at school. It wasn't serious at first, so she planned to drink more water and wear warmer clothes every day. Wang Meili, her mother, knitted a sweater for Zhao Jiaojiao and made cotton shoes for her, and asked Ji Yuanhang, who was delivering goods to the county town, to deliver them to Zhao Jiaojiao.
"Zhao Jiaojiao, do you have a cold?" Zhao Xinming sat behind Zhao Jiaojiao and found that Zhao Jiaojiao looked weak and listless.
