Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

"Draw the factory blueprint and arrange the equipment layout!"

"Let me see it!" Lin Bingde had never seen a serious architectural drawing and was a little curious.

Lin Zhengjun handed him the blueprint. Lin Bingde took it carefully, looked at it for a few seconds, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "This plan is very well done, Zhengjun, you are amazing!"

"It's just a sketch and needs to be further refined!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

Lin Bingde returned the blueprint to Lin Zhengjun and said with a gratified smile: "The members are eager to join the cooperative and get rid of poverty and become rich. We should finalize the factory expansion as soon as possible so as not to delay making money. Tomorrow morning, I will ask Director Xu Zhigong to hold a meeting with the brigade cadres. What do you think?"

"Okay! Expanding the factory is no small matter. We may need to mobilize the entire village, and we have to make good division of labor arrangements!" Lin Zhengjun said.

"it is good!"

Lin Bingde is gone.

It’s getting late, it’s almost time to get off work.

Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu immediately started preparing dinner. Today's dinner was simple, still with rice and stew, and a pot of mushroom chicken soup.

When Lin Sanhuai and his wife came back, the fragrant stew, mushroom chicken soup and rice had already been served on the table.

Except for Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu, their eating style is more elegant.

Everyone began to wolf down their food, making loud noises.

This made Lin Zhengjun speechless. During this period, the family had enough to eat and no one was competing with them for food.

However, as a farmer's son, Lin Zhengjun also understands their eating habits.

In the Central Plains region, people greet each other by asking "Have you eaten?" or "Have you had your soup?"

Just as Londoners pay as much attention to food as they do to the weather, the memory of hunger has long been ingrained in their bones and cannot be changed in a short period of time.

Lin Zhengjun said, "Dad, Mom, did Lin Bingde and Wei Mingxuan tell you about the expansion of the food cooperative?"

While eating rice, Lin Sanhuai said vaguely, "I met him in the field this morning. Lin Bingde told me about it, but he didn't go into details."

"I estimate that this investment will cost 50,000 yuan!" said Lin Zhengjun.

Lin Sanhuai was shocked: "Fifty thousand? That's so much? This is half of the money you earned before!"

"Ok!"

Lin Zhengjun nodded and said, "I just looked at the information, drew a rough blueprint, and made a simple calculation. The factory warehouse, equipment and working capital will require this much. Without less, it won't work!"

"What if I lose this? I earned it with great difficulty..."

Hearing that such a large investment was needed, Zhang Shuqin was inevitably frightened. She said in a trembling voice, "Zhengjun, why don't we quit? You've already made 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, which is enough for you to spend in two lifetimes. Just go to college and find a job in the city!"

She is content with a small fortune and does not seek great wealth. She just wants to have enough food and clothes and live together with her family in peace.

"Okay, you're a woman with long hair and little knowledge, so stop talking nonsense." Lin Sanhuai said impatiently.

"Didn't our son ask for my opinion?" Zhang Shuqin said aggrievedly.

"He was just being polite, but you took it seriously!"

Lin Sanhuai finished his meal, put down his bowl, ordered a Daqianmen, and said happily: "When it comes to farm work, the regular soldiers are not as good as us, but when it comes to family business, even if all 800 heads of our brigade are added together, they are not as good as the regular soldiers!"

"We can't help much, but we can't hold you back or pull your sleeves!"

"What do you mean by holding back or pulling one's sleeve? I'm just worried that the policy direction will change..." said Zhang Shuqin.

"Zhengjun's products are all sold in the capital, so why should we worry?"

Lin Sanhuai interrupted, "When Zhengjun made the first batch of canned yellow peaches, he had to take out a loan of 10,000 yuan, but he managed to make money, didn't he?"

"Besides, he still has the support of the commune and the brigade in Yanjing County, and the villagers also hope that he can do it. If Zhengjun quits now, how can he continue to work in the Hewan Brigade in the future!"

Zhang Shuqin was speechless after hearing these words: "Okay, okay, I support you!"

Lin Zhengjun watched the two of them bickering and found it quite interesting.

This is how it is with a couple in the countryside. The man is the laborer, supporting the family. He tends to speak in a tough, even impatient, and quarrelsome manner.

But in fact, the parents' feelings are also very deep.

This is just the special way their generation gets along.

Lin Zhengjun said: "I estimate that the cooperative members can probably put in more than 5 yuan to become shareholders. The brigade provides land and holds % of the shares. If I put in yuan, I will hold % of the shares. This shareholding ratio is a bit abnormally high!"

Zhang Shuqin asked, "What's the problem? Does the government not allow it?"

Lin Zhengjun said: "The shareholding ratio is too high, so it is no longer like a collective enterprise, but more like a private enterprise. In fact, there is no big problem in terms of policy, but I am worried that the first rafters will rot first..."

Lin Sanhuai became bolder and said vigorously: "County Mayor Bai has given strong support in all aspects. Who dares to do anything to you? This is outrageous!"

He is now full of confidence in Lin Zhengjun. He is a young writer, his works are going to be adapted into movies, and he has met a lot of cadres and medical experts in the capital. This amulet is all over his body!

Lin Zhengjun said: "Dad, it's better to be safe than sorry. I have an idea. I will give you money when the time comes. You can each invest 5,000 yuan, and Xiaofu and I will each invest 10,000 yuan."

"We're also going to invest?"

"Yes, at least on the surface, this way my shareholding ratio will be smaller and less noticeable!" said Lin Zhengjun.

"no problem!"

Lin Sanhuai felt that Lin Zhengjun’s idea was good and agreed immediately.

Tang Xiaofu was deeply moved, staring at Lin Zhengjun under the warm light, as if her man was glowing again!

Before getting married, Lin Zhengjun asked him to take 10,000 yuan of shares, which is much more valuable than a few hundred yuan of betrothal gift!

Thinking about it again, Lin Zhengjun had said before that he would give him 100 yuan as a betrothal gift, buy him three wheels and a bell, and build him a big tiled house, but now he felt that it was impossible to achieve!

But now these unattainable goals have been achieved one by one!

Looking back, it really feels like a dream!

How many surprises will he bring her in the days ahead? Tang Xiaofu couldn't help but be filled with anticipation.

……

"Zhengjun, get up quickly, Director Xu and the brigade cadres are waiting for you in the brigade headquarters yard!"

The next day, Lin Zhengjun was awakened by Lin Bingde's loud voice in the yard.

"Has Director Xu arrived?"

He rubbed his dark circles and looked at his Rolex watch. It was already ten o'clock in the morning and the announcement for work did not wake him up.

Last night, he was busy drawing the factory planning drawings until three in the morning, and even calculated the factory site. He was really exhausted.

Lin Zhengjun got up quickly, washed up, and was ready to go out.

"Zhengjun, eat something before you leave!"

Tang Xiaofu, who was writing a script at her desk, put down her pen, brought over a cup of malted milk, pouted and said, "You always advise our mother to eat on time and take good care of her stomach, but you don't pay attention to it yourself."

"I'll listen to you and pay attention to my meals next time."

Lin Zhengjun smiled and drank the malted milk in one gulp.

"tasty?"

"It tastes good and very sweet!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

In fact, from the perspective of future generations, this thing doesn't taste good.

Its main ingredients are milk powder, condensed milk, wheat bran, cocoa powder, and egg powder, cream, citric acid, sugar, glucose, vitamins and other ingredients are also added.

Very sweet and a bit greasy!

Of course, since it was made by Tang Xiaofu, the taste will naturally be good.

Tang Xiaofu stuffed a few more egg cakes into Lin Zhengjun's hands. Lin Zhengjun ate while walking and soon arrived at the brigade headquarters.
