Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

Within two days, it was time for the year-end competition in Xiaohe Village.

There is a row of tables at the entrance of the brigade department. The tables are still covered with a red cloth from an unknown age. It looks a little faded. There is also this old-fashioned microphone on the red cloth.

A red banner hung on the wall behind the table, with a few words written on it, Xiaohe Village's end-of-year evaluation, and colorful silk hanging around it, which looked very grand.

The members of Xiaohe Village got the news early. Before the competition started, the huge venue of the brigade department was completely surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.

Ever since Chu Jianghe announced that money would be distributed during the year-end competition, they had been looking forward to this time.

Those who didn't get a good seat wanted to squeeze forward, but no one was willing to give in at this time. After squeezing for a while, they couldn't squeeze in. They could only shake their heads in annoyance. Who let themselves come later.

Everyone is itching and thinking about how much money the village will receive by the end of this year.

The village's accounts have been smoothed out by Liu Yunfang and Lao Lei. It's really not that I don't know, but I'm shocked when I do the calculations.

This year, Xiaohe Village earned a full 50 yuan, and of course there are still some fractions, but those odds and ends can be ignored.

50 yuan. After this number was calculated, everyone was stunned for a long time. Finally, Liu Yunfang and Lao Lei calculated it twice. After confirming that it was correct, everyone who heard this number burst out in exclamation.

You must know that their Xiaohe Village was still poor last year, but unexpectedly it has turned around this year.

Other villages know that Xiaohe Village makes money, but there are different opinions on how much it makes. Some say tens of thousands, while others say 10,000+. No one can give an exact number.

Since Chu Jianghe left, most people in the village have not been allowed to see the accounts. The main reason is that they are afraid that if they are leaked and make others angry, many people may come to trouble Xiaohe Village.

So only Liu Yunfang and Lao Lei have a rough estimate of the specific figures, but they have a division of labor, so they really don't know exactly how much they earn.

That is to say, after Chu Jianghe came back, the two people compiled the accounts and compiled the specific figures.

The money I earned was never deposited in the credit union. I packed it in a big box and put it in a room in the brigade headquarters. People from the militia company guarded it every day, so I was not afraid that anyone would dare to miss it.

Now Xiaohe Village has a brick factory, a feed mill and a pig farm, as well as a vegetable greenhouse project. It has bought five tractors but not a harvester.

Because the only harvesters that are currently popular are those from agricultural machinery factories such as Shanghai, Guilin, and Jiangnan. Their current functions are very imperfect. In addition to being more efficient than manual labor, they are not very useful and will soon be eliminated.

It would be better to wait until a few years later when German agricultural machinery is imported before buying one. Chu Jianghe had seen photos in his previous life. The functions of the Forward e-series harvesters produced in East Germany were relatively complete. Then he would think of ways to buy one.

In addition to the money invested in buying equipment and building the factory, the remaining money in the brigade headquarters is about 20 in cash.

If there are no big projects, the cash in Xiaohe Village will increase in a short period of time, and it may exceed one million by next year.

It is not easy to earn this kind of money. The first pot of gold in life is always the hardest to earn. With this capital and those high-quality assets, Xiaohe Village finally has the confidence to develop in the future.

Chu Jianghe looked at the large box full of banknotes and felt a little worried, so he wanted to ask other people's opinions: "How much do you think is appropriate for each household?"

Old Lei was cautious and mature, but his views were a bit conservative. He hesitated and said: "Jiang He, basically every household now has people working in factories and food distributed in the fields. If you ask me, every household 100 yuan is a lot of money, it’s more than 3 yuan in real terms.”

Wang Daqiang disagreed with his opinion: "Uncle Lei, we finally made money, and each household will be given 100 yuan. Isn't that a bit stingy? At least we should get 150 yuan, and give it to others." Let’s envy our village.”

As these two people spoke, many people began to speak, some echoed Lao Lei's opinions, and some agreed with Wang Daqiang's opinions. Suddenly the brigade headquarters was in chaos.

Seeing that these people were about to start a quarrel, Chu Jianghe clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and said: "I agree with Da Qiang's opinion. Since it is said that our Xiaohe Village has made money this year, then giving out 150 yuan is too conservative. Son, let’s give each household 300 yuan. In the past, we always envied other villages, but now other villages also envy us. With the remaining money, we can repair the roads in the village and then build another one. Water towers and pipes are installed in every household. From now on, water will come out as soon as you turn on the faucet, saving everyone the need to fetch water."

Money still has to be spent, no matter what happens if you save it, Chu Jianghe told everyone his thoughts.

When everyone heard that they actually wanted to give out 300 yuan, there were more than 300 households in Xiaohe Village, so it would cost over [-] yuan. They were all shocked by Chu Jianghe's idea.

After the shock, everyone was in a commotion. Each family was given 300 yuan, which was a big deal.

You must know that it is not uncommon for some families to work alone in a factory and support a large family on a monthly salary of 50 to [-] yuan.

Tiezhu was now Chu Jianghe's supporter, and he was the first to speak in support: "I agree with Jianghe's opinion."

Of course Liu Yunfang supported her man and agreed.

Chu Dayou has worked in the village for so many years in order to lead the villagers to live a good life. Unexpectedly, he has worked hard for more than 20 years without any results. His son has brought earth-shaking changes to Xiaohe Village in more than half a year. The changes finally solved one of my worries.

Although I felt a little uncomfortable with this comparison, I hesitated and agreed.

In fact, everyone had already agreed. After all, no one would mind having too much money, so they all agreed.

After the discussion, Chu Jianghe made final preparations with the key personnel of the village in the brigade headquarters, sorting out the village list and the competition list, and preparing bonuses in advance.

After preparing these things, Chu Jianghe led everyone to the door of the brigade headquarters.

Today's appraisal meeting was hosted by Wang Daqiang. He came to the rostrum, picked up the old-fashioned microphone on the table, and his voice came out through the loudspeaker: "Everyone, be quiet, our appraisal meeting will begin soon. "

The sound quality of the old speakers is really poor, but the sound can still be heard clearly.

The village members had been waiting impatiently for a long time. When they heard that the competition was about to begin, they all became quiet.

What Wang Daqiang said on the rostrum was nothing more than clichés. The general idea was that under the wise leadership of Secretary Chu and through the unremitting efforts of the members for a year, we finally lived a good life, blah blah blah.

Chu Jianghe was most annoyed by these formalisms, and he didn't know where he learned them from. These words were still the same.

Chu Jianghe doesn't know how to control people, but he knows that leaders who only draw pictures will not be able to achieve success, and some will not be able to stand on the stage.

He doesn't like to play tricks either. Since he has promised everyone, he can just fulfill his promise as scheduled. Nothing is as real as money.

Chu Jianghe glared at Wang Daqiang and told him not to talk any more.

What Xiaohe Village is not doing today is distributing money in an upright manner.
