When Wei Jianshe returned to the production team, all the educated youth had returned from work.
Planting corn is different from harvesting wheat. You can’t plant corn after dark. The educated youth sat on the kang and chatted.
Seeing Wei Jianshe coming in from outside, a male educated youth about fifteen or sixteen years old told him, "You caused trouble this time, and fifty work points were deducted."
Wei Jianshe quickly caught the other party's gloating expression, and he waved his hand casually, "Just dunk it as you like."
The educated youth looked at each other in bewilderment, obviously not expecting that he would not care.
Someone looked down upon Wei Jianshe's attitude and consoled him, "Liu Bingnan, since he doesn't care anymore, don't remind him with good intentions anymore."
Liu Bingnan was confused by Wei Jianshe's attitude just now. When he heard someone say that, he smiled shyly, "We are all from Shanghai."
Wei Jianshe didn't appreciate it at all. He sneered at him, turned around and walked out of the house. He wanted to ask the villagers.
But as soon as he left the house, he heard someone shouting at the door, "Su Aiguo is back."
The educated youth in the room had no time to chat about gossip, and all of them came out to greet him. Wei Jianshe subconsciously stopped.
"Su Aiguo, how did you do today?"
Su Aiguo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "It's better than harvesting wheat. But it's still a little more tiring than planting corn."
Because these educated youth lacked physical strength, the team did not assign them to work on the farmland, but instead asked them to grow corn.
It is hard to say which is more tiring, planting corn or sweeping the floor. However, at the speed these educated youths work, it is estimated that they can only plant corn for 60 to 70 minutes a day.
How could it compare to sweeping the floor earning ten work points? But no one thought of this difference. They noticed that sweeping the floor was more tiring than planting corn, and they felt more comfortable.
"So when can you get the eggs? I'm so greedy. I even dreamed about eggs last night."
Su Aiguo said apologetically, "Our factory director is not here today. I heard that a car from the department store will come to deliver eggs tomorrow. I will ask her then."
"OK!"
Wei Jianshe watched them surround Su Aiguo and ask him questions. It's just an egg? What's the big deal
He strode out and no one paid any attention to him.
Wei Jianshe didn't expect the night in the countryside to be so dark. After a while, he came back.
When they got off work at noon the next day, all the educated youth ran to the educated youth site, and no one wanted to miss the opportunity to eat eggs.
When we arrived at the educated youth site, Su Aiguo and Ge Xiaoyun had already prepared the meal.
Unfortunately, there were no eggs on the table and everyone was a little disappointed.
One of the educated youth asked, "Su Aiguo, have you asked about the eggs?"
Su Aiguo smiled and said, "I asked! Our factory manager said that as long as I work for a full month, I can get eggs. I can get up to seven eggs per week."
Seven? Everyone's eyes lit up.
"With Ge Xiaoyun, that's fourteen." Liu Bingnan's eyes lit up, "If we all go to the chicken farm, we can eat an egg every day."
Everyone looked at Su Aiguo and Ge Xiaoyun as if they were looking at the stars in the sky.
Su Aiguo then announced another piece of good news, "And I also heard that by the end of the year, as long as we have enough work points, we can buy a few hens and raise them. Then, we can have eggs to eat every day."
"Is it really that good?"
"Is this a lie? These country folk are really fierce."
Su Aiguo said firmly, "Of course it's true. I asked the factory director in person. She was really easy to talk to. She also encouraged me to work hard in the chicken farm." He turned his head to glance at Ge Xiaoyun, "Right? Xiaoyun."
Ge Xiaoyun nodded repeatedly, with the same expression on her face as Su Aiguo. "The factory director welcomed us today and asked everyone to take good care of us. She told us to ask her if we have any questions in the future. She's not mean at all."
"Really?" Someone said in disbelief, "The day we came, her face was very long and fierce. She looked like she wanted to eat someone."
Su Aiguo smiled and said, "Actually, she's not fierce at all. We all misunderstood her." He said mysteriously, "She also said that in the spring, the factory will hire people to hatch chicks. We all have a chance."
The best time to hatch chicks is from March to May, so the teams in previous years could only work for three months, but the work points were still quite good.
Some people were so anxious that they scratched their heads and said, "But we have never hatched chicks."
Su Aiguo was busy trying to comfort everyone, "You can learn from others. They will arrange for someone to teach you. I heard that the most important thing about hatching chicks is patience. It's not difficult."
Everyone looked eager to try something, and some were even rubbing their hands in excitement.
Although these educated youth were young, they were good at judging the situation. Those people went to make trouble and had fifty work points deducted, but in the end they got nothing. They would not do such a stupid thing. It would be better to earn more work points and try to get into the chicken farm earlier. At least they can have eggs to eat in the future.
Wei Jianshe came in from outside carrying a hoe. Because he did not go to work yesterday, Qian Minghua stopped him and deducted fifty work points from him.
He had a quarrel with the other party, but ended up losing.
He put the hoe against the wall, and Liu Bingnan ran over and told him about hatching the chicks.
Wei Jianshe didn't care about the hatching of chicks. "Are you saying that the old lady who welcomed us into the village that day is the director of the chicken farm?"
Liu Bingnan nodded, "Yes."
Wei Jianshe lowered his head in thought.
Su Aiguo continued to say, "Let me tell you, our factory director is really amazing. She gave birth to five sons and three daughters. Of the five sons, the most unsuccessful one is an accountant in our production team, and the other sons are all workers. Her grandchildren are all eating commercial grain in the city. Don't you think she's amazing?"
Someone exclaimed, "Is this true? Didn't they say that factories are not allowed to recruit country people? How did they become workers?"
Su Aiguo scratched his head, unable to figure it out. "I don't know the specific situation, but I heard from others that our factory director knows a lot of people. He must have asked someone with good connections to help find it."
Wei Jianshe came over, his eyes brightening up surprisingly, "According to you, their family should be the richest in this production team?"
Su Aiguo thought for a moment and said, "That should be the case. Her sons, grandchildren and granddaughters are all workers, and she herself is the factory director. Isn't she the richest family?"
Wei Jianshe curled up the corner of his mouth into a smile. Look, now I found out.
Wei Jianshe didn't even eat and ran to the production team to borrow a bicycle. How could Wang Shouquan agree to lend it to him? He borrowed the bicycle to go to town. Haha, he still wanted to cause trouble, right
Wang Shouquan scolded him, "You were deducted 50 work points yesterday, and you asked for leave today. Do you really think I have no temper? You are not allowed to borrow!" He said to the warehouse keeper, "These educated youth must have my signature before borrowing bicycles."
The warehouse keeper nodded immediately.
Wei Jianshe was so angry that he stamped his feet, but there was nothing he could do about him. No matter how many nice things he said, he just wouldn't agree.
Wei Jianshe could only walk towards the commune with resentment.
Director Lei had previously asked two people to investigate the matter, so he had to inform Director Lei before they did.
Director Lei heard Wei Jianshe's report and tapped the table with his index finger, a little surprised. "Most of the people in the family are workers. Are you lying to me?"
"We'll know once we investigate. How could I dare to lie to you?" He hesitated. "But I heard they seem to have connections."
Director Lei raised the corner of his lips, "You have connections? That would be even better. If we destroy their family, her relatives and friends can spend a lot of money to protect her."
Wei Jianshe was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that the other party was not afraid at all. Could it be that he had a powerful backing
Director Lei waved his hand, and Wei Jianshe immediately stood up and stretched his ears to listen.
But after hearing this, Wei Jianshe shook his head like a rattle and waved his hands to refuse, "No! If others knew about this, I would not be able to stay in the production team any longer."
Who knows when he can go back! He can't just not have any worries at all.
Director Lei picked up the enamel pot and said, "As long as you can help me get this done, I can help you return to the city!"
Wei Jianshe was not willing to let him do such a dangerous thing with empty promises. He looked straight at Director Lei and insisted that he give a definite date. "When?"
Director Lei sneered, and suddenly remembered something, "There will be a conscription every year. As long as you help me get this done, I will recommend you to go."
Wei Jianshe's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Really?" Director Lei seemed to be afraid that he would not believe it, and said, "This year, the army came to Liuguan County to recruit soldiers. There are a total of 50 quotas. Wangjia Village Production Team has always been an advanced production team, and there are at least two quotas. I'll let you take one."
Wei Jianshe immediately beamed with joy, "Okay! I'll do it!"
When the weather is very hot, no fan of any kind is of any use.
Qian Shulan could only secretly feel lucky that she was right to let Xiao Min stay in the old house to play.
Qian Shulan wiped the sweat from her forehead and continued to check the accounts. When she heard someone calling her, she looked up and saw that it was Wang Shouzhi.
Qian Shulan was a little surprised and put down the pen in her hand, "Why are you here?"
Wang Shouzhi grinned widely, his smile was very bright, "Mom, Yuying is pregnant."
When Wang Shouzhi learned that Yuying was pregnant, he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night and told everyone about it. Yuying saw his foolish look and thought he was embarrassing, so she sent him back to the countryside.
Qian Shulan was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Her two brown eyes instantly became moist, as if they were the finest amber, crystal clear. "Is Yuying okay?"
Wang Shouzhi's face fell when he heard this. "It's good! It's just that the weather is too hot. She can't eat and has anorexia."
Qian Shulan was anxious, "What should I do? How about I go and take care of her for a few days?"
Wang Shouzhi waved his hands and said, "Mom, no need. I will take care of her. I have applied to be temporarily transferred to the water truck team to transport water."
Qian Shulan was relieved, "That's great!" She seemed to remember Wang Shouzhi saying that the salary of the well-drilling team was more than twice that of the water truck team. He really loved his wife.
Wang Shouzhi then continued, "I want Yuying to have a good rest. She goes to work every day and helps people carry rice. If she gets stretched, it will be too dangerous. I want someone else to replace Yuying for a few years."
Qian Shulan did not object, "Did Yuying agree to this?"
Wang Shouzhi nodded, "She agreed. It's a little dangerous for her to have a baby at her age, and the doctor suggested that she take good care of herself. Mom, please help me find someone, just someone from our family. I don't trust others."
Qian Shulan nodded and said, "Of course!" The job is so valuable, if you replace it without getting it back, there might really be a falling out.
Wang Shouzhi saw that his mother was worried, so he said hurriedly, "Okay!" Then he was about to go back, "Mom, I'm going back first. I'm worried about Yuying being alone at home. She can't stand the smell of cooking fumes now."
Qian Shulan glared at him and said, "Even if you are worried about her, you have to finish your meal before leaving."
Without waiting for Wang Shouzhi to answer, Qian Shulan walked over to Liu Yueqin who was feeding the chickens, squatted beside her, and whispered, "Third sister-in-law, can you give me two of your hens?"
Liu Yueqin didn't hear what Wang Shouzhi said just now, and was a little surprised, "What do you want hens for? You can buy roosters and eggs from our chicken farm anytime."
Qian Shulan told her about Jiang Yuying's pregnancy, and then she smiled and said, "I'll get two roosters later, but eggs are not good. The weather is too hot, and the yolk will fall apart in a few days. It's better to get two hens, one a day will be fine."
Liu Yueqin patted her thigh and stood up, "Okay! Didn't you say you had cotton? Can I switch jobs with you?"
Qian Shulan nodded and said, "Okay! I'll give it to you when I get back."
Qian Shulan asked Wang Shouzhi to go back with Liu Yueqin, "Bring the hen to my place later, and I will go back and make you something delicious."
Wang Shouzhi responded loudly.
Qian Shulan took two roosters and five kilograms of eggs, asked others to sign, and then left the chicken farm.
According to Wang Shouzhi, the child must be at least four years old before Jiang Yuying can go to work.
Including the pregnancy, it would take at least five years.
But who should she let replace her
Deng Xingming? He was an accountant, and the production team couldn't find anyone suitable to replace him.
Zhengjun? He can’t do that, he’s getting married soon, and the health station can’t do without him.
Sun Daqin? She still has to take care of Fengchan. Even if Fengchan is to be sent to Liu Fangming, if she has free time, her mouth will bring her trouble. Forget it.
Li Chunhua? She's a tailor, and she's doing fine now.
Zhou Xuemei? She seemed to be the only one who could do it.
The two children were sent to school, and their family also had a house in the county town. Although it was only a public rental house, it was still habitable.
After Qian Shulan made up her mind, she decided not to go home and went to the old house first.
I saw Zhou Xuemei chatting with her two sisters-in-law in the main room.
The twins, Xiao Min, and Fengchan are playing in the yard.
Qian Shulan did not hide it from others and told the matter directly.
The pie was a bit heavy and hit Zhou Xuemei a bit hard.
She clasped her hands together, with an incredible look on her face, and stared at Qian Shulan's eyes excitedly and eagerly, "Mom, can I really do this?"
Qian Shulan patted her shoulder and found that she was actually shaking. She found it a little funny and said, "What's wrong with that? You can read and do accounting, and you have a certificate of completion. It's fine."
Logically speaking, Zhou Xuemei's educational level is a bit low, but she is just a substitute and her name is not among the official employees, so as long as she can take care of it well, it will be fine.
Yuying's leader is an old acquaintance of hers, and Director Chen would not be unwilling to give her even this little face.
That's why Qian Shulan can say it so confidently.
Sun Daqin looked at Zhou Xuemei with envy, and the same thing happened to Li Chunhua.
However, the two did not blame Qian Shulan. One was because they had to take care of the children and did not have time to go, and the other was because they did not have the diploma and could not go.
When Zhou Xuemei got the news, she packed up her things immediately.
Sun Daqin and Li Chunhua were there to help her.
Qian Shulan returned home and found Wang Shouzhi already waiting at the door.
Qian Shulan then told the story of Zhou Xuemei replacing Jiang Yuying.
Wang Shouzhi also thought it was good, "Sister-in-law has a good temper and can be a good salesperson."
After the two finished their meal, Qian Shulan put four chickens in a sack and gave him some bacon.
The eggs were put into the basket in front of the car, and Wang Shouzhi was sent away.
As for Zhou Xuemei, she had so much to pack that she didn't set out until after three o'clock.
If she hadn't been worried about the inconvenience of getting to the county town after dark, she would have wanted to cram all her belongings into the carriage.
Seeing her looking at the yard reluctantly, Qian Shulan smiled and said, "Whatever you need, come back and get it next time."
Zhou Xuemei smiled and nodded, letting the twins sit in the carriage and sitting on the other side herself.
The soldiers waved their whips and rode forward at a clattering pace.
Everyone behind waved goodbye to Zhou Xuemei.
Xiao Min held Qian Shulan's hand, looked at her two brothers, and cried, "Grandma, why are my brothers leaving?"
"Your fourth aunt is going to work in the county, so your two brothers have to go to the county to study."
"Will I be able to see my brother again in the future?"
"Yes, you can see it during the Chinese New Year."
Wang Shouli and Zhou Xuemei can come back often, but it may not be convenient to bring two children with them.
