At half past seven, members rushed to the brigade headquarters one after another.
These people were men and women, old and young. Some were holding benches and some were holding kettles. People who didn't know better thought they were watching a big show.
It was said to be a conference, but it was not formal at all and there was not even a decent venue.
After everyone arrived at the brigade headquarters, they all randomly found a place and sat down, not neatly at all.
The members are like this, and so are the cadres.
There is no rostrum, no tables, chairs or benches, but the sitting position is further forward than the members.
Zhou Yang came here step by step. In addition to him, Li Youwei and Bao'er also came!
The little girl was riding on her father's shoulders, chattering non-stop, and was very happy.
Li Youwei followed Zhou Yang, holding a military green aluminum kettle filled with cold water.
Arriving at the brigade headquarters, Zhou Yang handed his daughter to his wife and asked them to sit next to the members.
And he walked to the front of the crowd and sat down next to Wang Ping and Li Jianguo.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the members' meeting officially begins!
When the time came, Li Fengnian stood up with a tin trumpet and said: "Comrade members, today I heard that everyone has objections to some decisions of the production team, so let's hold a meeting of members to discuss this matter! "
"Next, let's listen to the opinions of the members first. Who comes first?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in his forties stood up and said, "I'll say it first!"
The man Zhou Yang recognized was named Zhang Zhanfu, and he was a driver of the fourth team.
Since Zhang Zhanfu's wife was sick all year round and was unable to work in the fields, and most of the children were underage, the heavy responsibility of supporting the family fell on Zhang Zhanfu.
And with the few work points he earned alone, he obviously couldn't support the seven or eight people in his family, so he basically had to borrow grain from the production team every year.
Li Fengnian said immediately: "Comrade Zhanfu, if you have any opinions about the production team, please tell me!"
"Then did I really say it?"
"Let's talk, we are all revolutionary comrades, we must have the spirit of criticism and self-criticism!"
"Okay, I'll tell you what I think!"
Then I heard Zhang Zhanfu continue: "I heard that the production team is going to expand the pig farm. I wonder if this is the case?"
"Yes, construction has started on the pig farm today. In the future, a large pig farm with 200 pig houses will be built there!" Li Fengnian replied.
"Party Secretary, it's already July. Isn't it a bit late to catch the piglets at this time?" Zhang Zhanfu asked with a frown.
"Normally, it's a bit late, but Vice Captain Zhou of our fourth production team, who is also my son-in-law Zhou Yang, has developed a new type of feed that can make piglets grow to 200 kilograms in 8 months. That's it. It will be almost ready by the Chinese New Year!" Li Fengnian said.
Hearing this, the members below immediately started whispering among themselves. It was obvious that everyone was surprised by this matter.
At this time, a woman in the crowd stood up and said, "Zhi Shu Li, the feed produced by Zhou Zhiqing can really make piglets grow to 200 pounds in 8 months. Are you lying to us?"
Zhou Yang knew it was time for him to appear, so he stood up and strode to the front of the crowd.
First he took the tin trumpet from his father-in-law, and then Zhou Yang said loudly: "I researched this new feed, so let me explain it to everyone!"
"The new feed was developed by one of my teachers. He is a famous agricultural expert in Beijing. Is it effective? 200 pounds in 8 months is just a conservative estimate. In fact, it may be better than this!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "I know why everyone is here today, and I won't hide it from everyone. I actually asked the production team to buy those stinky bones from the meat factory. The price is 10 yuan a ton, which is 5 cents. A pound of money!”
After hearing this, someone immediately shouted: "Zhou Zhiqing, those stinky bones can't be eaten or drank, why are you spending so much money?"
"Yes, everyone trusts you and chose you to be the captain. You can't act like this!"
"That's right, you have to give everyone an explanation..."
Zhou Yang raised his hand and immediately signaled everyone to be quiet!
"These bone residues are used in the new feed. You don't know what they are used for. Let's put it this way. Now, these bone residues that you think are useless, after my processing, 10 pounds can be turned into one." Kilograms of pork!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately stunned!
10 pounds of bone residue turned into one pound of pork, this is a good deal!
A pound of bone residue is 5 cents, and 10 pounds is only 5 cents!
A pound of pork can now be sold for 70 cents, and you may not be able to buy it if you have money but no ticket. Even people who have never even attended a literacy class know whether this is a good deal or not.
"Zhiqing Zhou, can you really turn those stinky bones into pork?" someone asked loudly.
"I can't, but the new pig feed plus piglets will definitely work!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
At this time, a sharp voice suddenly sounded in the field: "Who knows if you are lying to us? You scholars have too many eyes, just like that hornet's nest!"
Zhou Yang looked around and found that the person speaking was an old woman in her fifties.
That's right, it's the old woman!
In the city, a woman in her fifties is still a flower at dusk, but in the countryside, she is like an eggplant beaten by frost, already withered!
Zhou Yang also knew that this woman was a famous shrew in the fifth team. He really didn't know the name, but he knew that everyone called her Aunt Zhou!
"Aunt Zhou, your words are completely classist!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "At the very least, you look down on scholars, but at the most serious level, you are trying to sow discord between ordinary commune members and educated people. This alone can send you to the commune for education!"
Zhou Yang has never had a good impression of people who don't keep their mouth shut and talk about everything.
Therefore, you won’t show any mercy to her when you speak!
Besides, for today's matter, we must unify everyone's thoughts, otherwise these people will mess up the problem halfway.
The first step in unifying our thoughts is to tame those thorny issues that tend to lead to wandering thoughts.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Yang said these words, Aunt Zhou became anxious!
I just heard her say in a panic: "What kind of class discrimination? I don't mean it. I just don't believe you, a migrant!"
Zhou Yang then said loudly: "Why don't you believe me? Is it because I am educated and knowledgeable, or because I am a state worker?"
"I just don't believe you, what can you do!"
"Well, since you don't believe me, you don't have to participate in raising pigs!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "I'll leave it here today. Anyone who doesn't want to participate in the pig farm can do it. I won't assign tasks to you people in the future. Correspondingly, when the settlement is settled at the end of the year, the pig farm's You won’t get any share of the profits!”
As soon as these words came out, the scene fell into silence!
Zhou Yang's tough words immediately shocked everyone present. They didn't expect Zhou Yang to say this and were stunned for a moment.
"The pig farm is a collective. You buy the piglets and those smelly bones with the collective's money. Why don't you give us some money?" Aunt Zhou said again.
"This doesn't require collective money. I can still get it for a few hundred yuan!" Zhou Yang said lightly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent again!
