"Comrades, it's the autumn harvest season now, and everyone has been busy all day. Many of you haven't even had time to shower before coming here for this meeting.
I won’t take up too much of your time, so let’s be brief and adjourn the meeting as soon as we’re done.
Those of you who are involved in roasting melon seeds at home should know that the melon seeds were sold to Red Star Farm yesterday.
Ten thousand two hundred kilograms of melon seeds, at thirty cents per kilogram, for a total of three thousand and sixty yuan.
It's not safe to keep so much money at the brigade headquarters, so after discussing it with the old branch secretary, we decided to distribute the money to everyone tonight."
"boom……"
The members were instantly in an uproar, and Chen Baiwang's shouting with the tin loudspeaker was drowned out.
They couldn't help but be excited. The news the captain said was so exciting and surprising.
The three major happy events for the members are distributing money, distributing food, and slaughtering the New Year pig.
"Captain, are you serious? Are we really going to divide the money tonight?"
A brave member asked excitedly.
"How could I possibly lie to you late at night? I hope the melon seed factory is a collective asset, and every household has a share, with each household getting 30 yuan."
In order to suppress the noisy voices of the members, Chen Baiwang had to raise his voice.
"boom……"
The louder noise drowned out Chen Baiwang's voice again.
"Quiet down, now I'll tell you how to divide the money."
Chen Baiwang shouted, and the crowd instantly fell silent.
Chen Baiwang’s high prestige is only one aspect. What is more important is the content of his speech. The distribution of money is closely related to everyone, and no one will not care.
"We distribute grain in the autumn and money at the end of the year in a fair and just manner, according to work points.
The money from selling melon seeds cannot be divided in this way, because when Dr. Yang proposed planting fruit trees and sunflowers, he clearly expressed the reason, which was to provide benefits to everyone and make everyone's life better.
Therefore, this time, we will distribute the money from selling melon seeds according to the number of people."
Chen Baiwang announced the results reached after discussion among the brigade cadres.
Distributing food and money according to work points is the fairest option. If you have less labor in your family, don't be jealous, because they do contribute more labor than you, and there is nothing to argue about.
The Hope Melon Seed Factory and Hope Orchard are the collective assets of the production team, and it is fairest to divide them according to the number of people.
"Captain, this isn't fair. We have a lot of young and strong laborers in our family, and they eat a lot. If we get the same share as the elderly and children, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage?"
Chen Baicheng was the first to express a different opinion.
They have five sons, three of whom are married. Together with the old couple, there are ten laborers in the family who earn work points. Their living conditions are relatively good in the village.
"That's right. We are the main force doing farm work. If we share the same amount of money with a few-year-old calf, we will not accept it."
Immediately, members with more labor force joined in the commotion.
"If you don't agree, just keep it to yourself. If you keep arguing, I won't give you a penny."
Chen Baiwang glared and suppressed the individual members directly.
"Look at what you are capable of. You have money but still have so many problems. Why don't you just go to heaven?"
Chen Baiwang was very dissatisfied with several members led by Chen Baicheng, feeling that they were challenging his authority.
Seeing that the captain was really angry, several people didn't dare to say anything.
In the production team, the team leader is someone that ordinary members cannot afford to offend.
The team leader is in charge of the allocation of labor tasks and has the right to inspect work and record work points.
In other words, the team leader has the final say on what work you do every day, whether the work meets the standards, and how many work points you get.
If you offend the team leader, he can make sure you can't stay in the village.
"Captain, don't be angry. I was the one who proposed the melon seed factory. Let me say a few words."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Yang Baiyi took the initiative to step forward.
"Okay, Doctor Yang, ignore Chen Baicheng and the others. They're just spoiled children."
Chen Baiwang thought that Chen Baicheng and the others had made Yang Baiyi unhappy.
"How could I not be happy? What they said makes sense. The more you work, the more you get. This is the fairest way to distribute the profits.
If those who work hard don't get the rewards they deserve, who would be willing to work so hard?
Yang Baiyi smiled at Chen Baiwang.
"Doctor Yang is right. Families with more work points should get more money."
Chen Baicheng and the others looked at each other, and smiles appeared on their embarrassed faces again.
Although they appeared to be submissive to Chen Baiwang's scolding just now, they still felt very uncomfortable in their hearts.
"Hey! Looks like we won't get anything again."
The members who had many children at home had their hopes extinguished again after hearing Yang Baiyi's words.
"However, this distribution method is only suitable for distributing grain after the autumn harvest and distributing money and meat at the end of the year, and is not suitable for distributing welfare benefits."
Yang Baiyi changed the subject, confusing everyone.
"What on earth does Doctor Yang mean? I'm a little confused."
A group of rough guys obviously felt that their brains were not enough.
"Last year I planned to start a side business with two goals: one was to help the educated youth who went to the countryside with me, and the other was to actually improve everyone's living conditions.
The so-called welfare should be implemented to everyone, no matter whether you are in your seventies or eighties, or just learning to speak, as long as you can enjoy it, it can be called welfare.
Since today is the first time we divide the money, let’s make it clear that from now on, the profits of Hope Melon Seed Factory and Hope Orchard will be distributed equally.
Members who have a lot of labor at home, don't feel unbalanced. I hope that the melon seed factory has not made you work in vain and has not made you sweat in vain.
Whether it was clearing debris and weeds, tilling the soil after the spring, sowing, watering, or harvesting, which step was left unused? When was your work not recorded?
These work points will naturally be converted into money at the end of the year. You still get more than others, right?
So your family has a lot of labor and a lot of work points, but what does that have to do with the benefits I am going to give you?
If you can't figure this out, then I doubt your intelligence, or maybe you're just trying to get more and take more, pretending to be ignorant.
Yang Baiyi's eyes swept over the members, and those who had more children and less labor had a vague sense of anticipation.
The member who had just fought for his own interests also lowered his head in shame.
They have many adults in their families and earn a lot of money. It can be said that they have money and connections, so they are naturally more confident in speaking than members with fewer families.
When Chen Baiwang said that just now, it’s not that they didn’t know the reason, but they were used to being strong and getting more money and food than others.
"I distributed meat to you, built schools for you, and helped you develop side businesses, without asking for anything in return.
To put it bluntly, I was just an educated youth who went to the countryside to work in the fields, and I was not a native of Chenjiatun.
I do this just to make everyone live a good life, and I hope you can understand my good intentions."
