Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

On the way, Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "By the way, I plan to hold a recruitment exam for private elementary school teachers. Are you willing to participate?"

Everyone was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.

Lin Zhengjun was surprised and asked, "What's wrong? You're not willing to do it!"

Cheng Huiru said: "No, I just didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that you told us this..."

"What a coincidence?"

"In fact, several of us have discussed and are planning to collectively resign as factory employees, or in other words, to work only half a day."

Cheng Huiru said: "It's mainly because we want to prepare for the college entrance examination! The collective cooperative has to work eight hours a day, which basically leaves little time for study."

Another educated youth said: "Zhengjun, we really like working in the collective factory. Not only do we make money, but we also help each other and have fun. But the college entrance examination is too important for us..."

"The reason I asked you to be teachers is because of this!"

Lin Zhengjun laughed and said, "As a teacher, I usually only have two or three classes a day, so I can spend the rest of my time studying for the exam!"

"Cheng Huiru is in charge of administration, so she has more time to review, but you guys are in charge of production on the front line of the factory, so you don't have that much time!"

Cheng Huiru said: "Director Xiaolin, you are so thoughtful!"

Lin Zhengjun said: "However, the exam for this recruitment fair is scheduled before the Lantern Festival, so you must prepare for it!"

"Okay!" Everyone nodded.

……

In the afternoon, Lin Zhengjun attended the brigade team meeting again and finalized the issue of renting land for the pig house.

Afterwards, they discussed the recruitment of private primary school teachers, which was of course unanimously approved.

Immediately afterwards, these two events were made public through the village affairs disclosure, notices were posted, and a broadcast was made in the village.

Remind members that if they have any opinions, they should promptly report them to the team leaders.

If more than 20 members jointly object, the brigade must hold a members' meeting to re-examine these two matters.

No one had much objection to Lin Zhengjun renting the rocky land at the entrance of the village. Instead, everyone was shocked and envious.

"Oh my God! Lin Zhengjun is cooperating with the Agricultural University in the capital this time!"

"What kind of cooperation? To be exact, it's support!"

"I didn't expect that even an agricultural university is short of money? It needs Lin Zhengjun's help!"

"Many units are short of money. They have worked hard for so many years, but they don't know where the money has gone! The key is that the regular army can provide them with money, which is a real talent!"

Of course, there are also members like Chen Laoshi and Wu Changshun who are just trying to be jealous and make sarcastic remarks.

They have poor conditions and are lazy. It should be said that they have not benefited much from the economic development of the brigade.

"Haha, we rent it for just that little money a year? Our team is really at a loss!"

"Besides, this isn't a cooperative, it's an individual. To put it bluntly, how much money he makes has nothing to do with us!"

"It's over! Our village is going to have big capitalists and landlords. Lin Zhengjun will exploit us in the future. We will be back to the days before liberation overnight!"

However, as soon as their weird ideas came out, they were immediately blasted back by other members.

"Is it a loss? That piece of rotten rocky land can't grow trees or crops. If it weren't for the army, would it be worth a dime?"

"The rent for that fifty acres of land was 10,000 yuan a year!"

"Not to mention that crops can't grow there, even if you can grow golden beans, can you make that much money in a year?"

"How dare you say exploitation! In the past six months alone, the army has secured so many benefits for our brigade. Asphalt roads have been paved, electricity has been connected, and pressurized wells have been dug! If this is exploitation, if this is capitalist, please give me a dozen such capitalists!"

"Let's not talk about anything else. After the conditions are improved, the number of people who come to our village to propose marriage has increased a lot compared to before! Many old bachelors have found wives!"

"Hey, but what's wrong with you, Changshun? You have everything, your parents are capable, and your family conditions are not bad, so why hasn't anyone introduced a partner to you?"

"Aren't you just too lazy? If you were more diligent, even if you didn't become a shareholder of the cooperative and weren't recruited as a worker, you could still make money! Whether it's building a house or killing and smoking fish, you can make money!"

"You are lazy. You didn't seize the opportunities that were in front of you. Now that you can't get any benefits, you blame others. This is ridiculous!"

Lazy guys like Chen Laoshi and Changshun were so embarrassed that they were speechless and wanted to run away.

They suddenly realized that Lin Zhengjun's support rate was too high, and opposing Lin Zhengjun would be asking for trouble and making themselves uncomfortable.

It can be said that in the huge Hewan Brigade, let alone people, even a mouse probably supports Lin Zhengjun!

Thanks to Lin Zhengjun, the mice can all eat their fill!

As for the recruitment of teachers, the scope involved is relatively small and has not caused any big waves.

Of course, those older teachers who were "reformed" felt somewhat fearful and uneasy, as well as a little disgusted.

But after all, there are only a few people.

Replacing teachers with better ones is in the best interests of all families in the Hewan Brigade. No one wants their children to learn from some half-baked teachers!

Besides, now that the Hewan Brigade has distributed land to each household, even those private teachers who have been squeezed out will not go hungry just by working on the fields. This provides a safety cushion!

Besides, there are other job opportunities in the team.

If nothing else, building a pig farm would take at least a month or two of work, wouldn't that mean I could make money again? I could also help kill and smoke fish!

……

Lin Zhengjun no longer cares about the rumors in the village.

First of all, he firmly believed that his choice was correct and in line with the fundamental interests of the vast majority of members, and he had no selfish motives.

Focus on one thing, do good things and don’t worry about the future.

Secondly, Lin Zhengjun has gone too deep and too far, and has gradually built up a strong network of personal connections.

Lin Zhengjun might not be able to withstand the attack from above, but few members of the Hewan Brigade could shake him. It was difficult for them to even go to the city, let alone the province!

After seeing that the brigade members had no objection, Lin Zhengjun went to the office of the collective cooperative factory, found Wei Shuangxi, and gave Wei Shuangxi two planning drawings.

"You want me to supervise the construction of your pig house again?"

Wei Shuangxi was a little annoyed: "There is also the second phase of the cooperative factory construction! I have nothing to do all day long but build houses!"

He calculated: "Since last September, you see, your house, the first phase of the collective cooperative factory, the primary school, and now the second phase of the factory, and your dormitory!"

Lin Zhengjun immediately found the flaw in his words, slapped him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You are swearing! What do you mean my dormitory? That's a pigsty!"

Wei Shuangxi chuckled and said, "I'm just sighing. Our brigade has used more bricks, tiles, and cement in the past six months than in the past ten years. Construction is really progressing at a rapid pace! And all of this is inseparable from our comrade Lin Zhengjun!"
