Chapter 142 New Educated Youth Arrives
"The new educated youth are here, the new educated youth are here."
The tractor of the Red Flag Brigade drove into the village with a rumble.
Because of Wang Yuanchao's influence in the village, this time all the aunts, grannies and young girls in the village, big and small, came out to watch the fun. Many of them squatted at the door of the educated youth site early in the morning, waiting to see the new educated youth and which ones to target. All the villagers wanted to take an educated youth back with them.
The educated youth were like Tang Monk's meat and were in great demand in the Red Flag Brigade.
"My dear, it seems that new educated youth have arrived. As the head of the educated youth center, why don't you go over and take a look?"
Wang Yuanchao touched Zhang Yuanyuan's six-month-old belly and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go. I will definitely show up to guide them.
You, with such a big belly, stay home and have a good rest, don't go out to watch the fun, okay?"
"No, sir, no, it's finally April, the snow is starting to melt, and it's not so cold outside, I want to go out for a walk."
"Then just watch the fun yourself and don't care about the child."
Widow Du quickly tried to smooth things over and said with a smile:
"Yuan Chao, it's okay, just go and do your work, Yuan Yuan has me with her, it's okay."
Wang Yuanchao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go get busy first. Mom, take down the other big pot at home. We may need to lend it to the new educated youth at the educated youth center later."
"Okay, go ahead and get busy."
After saying that, Wang Yuanchao walked towards the educated youth site slowly and calmly.
Wang Yuanchao came to the Red Flag Brigade around the same time last year, and now he has been here for a whole year.
When we arrived at the entrance of the educated youth camp, there were already crowds of people. When they saw Wang Yuanchao, they all greeted him, "Wang, you look so smart today. This Zhongshan suit really suits you."
"Of course not. Wang Zhiqing is as handsome as ever. By the way, Wang Zhiqing, do you think any of the new educated youth who came here today will settle down here like you?"
Wang Yuanchao laughed and said:
"Aunt Lihua, are you planning to take a new educated youth back home to live with you?"
"That's right. Your aunt Lihua's family, both sons and daughters are excellent. No matter if they are male or female educated youth, they will really enjoy a good life if they marry into our family."
"Go away, old lady Lihua, there are only so many new educated youths, and there are so many people in our team, how can it be your turn? Just watch your fun and stop thinking about unnecessary things."
"Old lady Yan Fei, stop giving me that. I can't do it, but you can, right? This time we'll know if we're the mule or the horse. We'll take them out for a walk and see."
Wang Yuanchao opened his mouth wide, watching these old women from Northeast China making a fuss. It was really an eye-opener.
"Wang Zhiqing, come here, come over here. The new Zhiqing will be here soon. You will introduce them to them then."
Wang Yuanchao looked up and saw that Secretary Zeng, the team leader, and several village cadres had all arrived, so he walked over and stood with them. "Okay, Secretary, I'll guide them first when the time comes, so that they can settle down in the Red Flag Brigade as soon as possible."
"Okay, we'll leave it to you. We're at ease.
By the way, I have already communicated with the Provincial Electric Motor Factory. Today, 70% of the pig sheds in our farm are used to raise piglets, and 30% are used to raise chickens, ducks, geese and sheep. They will send the piglets over on the 15th of this month. Remember to go to the farm to work on the 15th."
"Okay, 70% of the piglets are good. If all the pig pens in our current breeding farms are opened today, we can raise about 20,000 pigs. It seems that the output of our Red Flag Brigade's sideline business will exceed our main business of grain production today."
The team leader was not at all anxious about the fact that the grain production he was responsible for was exceeded. Instead, he said with a smile: "It's good that the output has exceeded the grain production. If the output of the sideline business exceeds the grain production, the lives of the villagers in our Red Flag Brigade will become more and more prosperous."
There was no other way. In the past, the grain output of the Hongqi Brigade was quite a lot, but after the villagers of the Hongqi Brigade distributed the grain every year, most of it would be exchanged for money to buy household items.
Building houses, buying furniture, making new clothes, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, buying New Year's goods, and dowries for children and grandchildren's marriages are all places where money is spent.
All the villagers in the Hongqi Brigade wanted to spend every penny carefully, and were reluctant to eat too much of their own food.
Last year, thanks to the sideline business of poultry farming, everyone's family became wealthy, with each person getting more than 50 yuan. Nowadays, every family has seven or eight people.
Only newly settled people like Wang Yuanchao have a small population, with a family of only three.
But in a few years, we will see that Wang Yuanchao's family of at least five or six people have moved up.
There is no way. These days in the countryside, there is nothing else to do after dark except having babies. The population is growing rapidly.
"That's right. By the way, Secretary, didn't we say that we would build a bigger poultry farm this year?
When will the construction start?"
"We are still discussing the start time, mainly because it takes time to purchase materials. Last year, the poultry breeding base of our Hongqi Brigade did well, and the surrounding brigades were jealous and went to the enterprises in the provincial and county capitals to seek support. Today, almost every brigade around our Hongqi Brigade has received support funds, and they all want to make a comeback by relying on poultry breeding as a sideline business.
The materials for building the farm are in great demand now. However, by the 20th at the latest, our construction materials should be in place, and we can start construction of the new farm then."
"That's great, but the poultry farming in our Red Flag Brigade will take away so much labor all at once. Will it affect grain production?"
The team leader took a few puffs of his cigarette, then smiled with yellow teeth, "No, no, in the poultry farming area, the people who were fired were women and children. They are normal laborers and have to go to work. It won't delay anything."
"That's good. In our rural areas, food production is the foundation. We can't mess up this. I don't have to worry about anything else."
"Well, with you here, Wang Zhiqing, we are very relieved. Just go ahead and do your job.
Look, the tractor has arrived. Let’s go over and welcome it.”
Wang Yuanchao looked at the village cadres and villagers of the Red Flag Brigade welcoming this group of educated youth, and smiled in his heart without saying a word, thinking that you will have a headache when the time comes.
But Wang Yuanchao said nothing, pretending to know nothing, and followed everyone to where the tractor was parked.
Looking at the seven women, five men, and twelve new educated youth in front of him, each of them wearing a high-quality imitation green military uniform, and everyone's clothes were wrinkled all over. A sour and smelly smell came to his nose. Wang Yuanchao smiled immorally in his heart.
