Chapter 229 Xu Jingyou is back.
"How much did you take?" Zhang Zengxiang came down from the stage, and Li Xingfa hurried over to ask.
"One thousand two hundred and forty-six and a half yuan. The feed factory has done well this year. I have already received so much money before I have worked for a full year. I will definitely receive more next year." Zhang Zengxiang rubbed the money in his hand with a beaming face. "I have never seen so much money in my life!"
"The performance dividends are so much, plus other dividends and the usual salary, you have earned more than three thousand this year, right?" Looking at the money, Li Xingfa's heart felt like a fire was on fire, and he was full of enthusiasm. He is now a team leader in the transport team, and his dividends will definitely not be less than Zhang Zengxiang's.
"Your family received three shares of the dividends, and we've become a millionaire this year. This would have been unthinkable in the past!" Zhang Zengxiang's children are still studying in the county middle school, and he and his wife are the only ones working. In terms of total income, they can't compare to their eldest son Li Xingfa, who also works on a ranch.
"Your child is able to study and I heard that he can go to college in the future. When he graduates, he will be a government official. Why doesn't my child have such a brain?" Li Xingfa was actually more envious. How could earning a little more salary compare to having a government official in the family? Zhang Zengxiang shook his head. "He can probably only get into a junior college. If he is assigned back to the county after graduation, he might as well come to work at the ranch. Lao Xu also wants him to come back. If he studies a relevant major, he can get more money."
After more than two years of trial and error, Xu Lingjun adjusted the income ratio of the ranch. The average dividend did not increase much, but the performance dividend and job salary increased a lot, especially for some key positions. For example, Haisheng and Guo Lei earned more than the commissioner of the administrative office in a year. With such a good prospect in front of him, Zhang Zengxiang no longer cared much about the cadre position in the county.
If his children have excellent academic performance and can be admitted to a good university in a big city like Beijing or Shanghai, and can stay there after graduation, he naturally hopes that his children can take root in the big city.
But if it were an ordinary school, it would be better to come back to the ranch to help instead of being assigned to other factories or counties for such a low salary. He has even thought about letting his child study agriculture-related majors, so that he can get started quickly when he comes back, and the child will not refuse. Maybe after four or five years, he can return to the ranch and move forward rapidly along the path that Guo Lei has taken.
"Haha!" Li Xingfa suddenly thought of something funny. "You don't have a high level of education, so I'm afraid you can't become a factory director. But your son is different. If in a few years, your son becomes your leader, that would be interesting."
"Hehe, if that day really comes, I will definitely set up a few tables to celebrate." Zhang Zengxiang didn't mind at all and was even looking forward to it.
At his age, what he hopes most is that his children will become successful. If his children can really become successful, he will be so happy that he can't contain himself.
After distributing dividends and holding the annual summary meeting, Xu Lingjun finally had a rare moment of free time. He had been on duty during the Spring Festival for two consecutive years and this year he planned to have a good rest, so he went back and asked Li Xiuzhi to pack up.
"We are going to Beijing to celebrate the New Year this year. Yesterday, Beijing sent a telegram saying that my house has been returned. It's a good opportunity for us to go back and take a look."
Xu Lingjun had been paying attention to the policy on the refund of private property. As soon as the news came back from the capital, he quickly wrote an application. After a long wait and finding some people to help, he finally got the result.
"Then we have to leave quickly. We should pack up now before the New Year. This way, we can have a good New Year's Eve. Qingqing, Yueyue, we are going to the capital. Are you happy?"
"Let's go to the capital, let's go to the capital!" Yueyue is still young, but Qingqing has already seen what the capital looks like on TV.
The next day, they boarded the train to Beijing. After arriving in the capital, Xu Lingjun worked for two days and completed the formalities. The courtyard house was back in his hands. This was also thanks to the fact that this place was used as an office space by a unit before. If it was distributed to ordinary people for living, it would be troublesome to vacate it.
"Who will take care of such a big yard when we are not in Beijing in the future?" Li Xiuzhi took the two children and walked around the yard inside and out. She also gained a new understanding of Xu Lingjun's background.
"I've thought it through. Now that the ranch is becoming more and more prosperous, it's time to try to enter the Beijing market. I'll rent the front yard to the ranch and let them set up a sales point here. We'll charge a lower rent and let them help look after the back yard as well." Xu Lingjun said.
The house still has to be occupied by someone. It would easily deteriorate if it was left empty. Xu Lingjun was not comfortable renting it to outsiders, so it was just right to hand it over to the people at the ranch.
Xu Lingjun is rich now. The dividends and wages he and his wife receive every year are not a small sum. Coupled with the extra income he earns from the Qilian Mountains, buying furniture and electrical appliances is not a problem at all.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no holiday yet, Xu Lingjun quickly spent money to decorate several rooms. On New Year's Eve, their family of four stayed in the room at the back leading to the yard, ate New Year's Eve dinner around the stove, and spent the New Year comfortably.
During the meal, Xu Lingjun talked about the plan for next year, "Your parents haven't come to Beijing yet, right? This year is too rushed. Next year, we will ask them to come to Beijing to celebrate the New Year together. It's time for our family to get together and have a good New Year."
"Well, in the middle of the year, we will go back to Sichuan together and invite them to come in person!" Li Xiuzhi agreed readily. Now that the Li family's situation has improved, coming to the capital will not be much of a burden for them.
In the next few days, Xu Lingjun took his family to stroll around the capital, visited temple fairs, watched the flag-raising ceremony, and also ate roast duck at Quanjude, shabu-shabu at Donglaishun, and casserole at Shaguoju. These time-honored brands have not yet declined, and the taste is quite good. Li Xiuzhi and the children were very happy to eat them.
On the fourth day of the New Year, all units started to work, but Xu Lingjun was not in a hurry. He planned to stay until the eighth or ninth day before going back.
I took my family to visit Beihai Park that day and had scallion-fried sea cucumber and nine-turn large intestine from Cuihualou. We didn't get home until around four in the afternoon. As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw someone waiting outside.
The visitor identified himself as a staff member of the Foreign Affairs Department. After verifying Xu Lingjun's identity, they said happily, "What a coincidence! Fortunately, you are in Beijing, otherwise we would have to send a telegram to notify you to come."
"What's the matter?" Xu Lingjun asked. In fact, he had already guessed the purpose of these two people.
"I have good news for you. Your father, Mr. Xu Jingyou, has just returned from the United States. He asked us to find you. You and your son can be reunited now!"
