Although the following members stopped talking, Zhou Yang did not spoil them.
I saw his sharp eyes sweeping over everyone, and a cold voice sounded in the venue again: "Dear members, do you think the production team has a lot of money and food now? Do you think we village cadres are trying to control this pig farm from the inside? Can you get some benefit?"
"To tell you the truth, I think too much!"
Just when everyone was still digesting what Zhou Yang said, he suddenly turned around and said to the accountant Liang Feng on the side: "Accountant Liang, you are the chief steward of our Babao Liang Brigade. Everyone can trust your character. Please tell the members about the financial situation of our Babaoliang Brigade and our Fourth and Fifth Production Teams!"
Liang Feng glanced at Li Fengnian first, and after receiving the other party's signal, he stood up and walked to the front of the crowd.
After coughing lightly, Liang Feng said in a calm tone: "Since Zhou Zhiqing asked me to talk about it, I will talk about it to everyone!"
"The 17 production teams of our Babaoliang brigade currently have 1,276 yuan on their books. The total amount of grain is more than 70,000 kilograms, and the livestock is not counted."
"The fourth production team and the fifth production team have a good financial situation among all the production teams in the entire brigade, but they only have a combined surplus of more than 300 yuan, and only more than 10,000 kilograms of various types of grain."
As soon as Liang Feng finished speaking, the buzz of members whispering to each other could be heard again. The huge venue was like a large vegetable market.
Zhou Yang signaled everyone to be quiet again, and then said: "You all heard it, the two teams in our village combined only have this little foundation. Do you think I, Zhou Yang, can take it seriously?"
"To be honest, if the comrades of the fourth team didn't trust me and insisted on letting me be the vice-captain, otherwise, I really wouldn't want to meddle in these nosy matters."
"Think about the fact that the two of us are earning work points on the team, and the country is still paying us wages. Do we need to keep an eye on the three melons and two dates in the team? Even if we are really greedy, can we feel at ease?"
"Don't forget, Chen Jianying's body has not been buried yet. Who dares to reach out to collective property if they think they live too long?"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence again!
The news that Chen Jianying was shot has spread back to the village. Although everyone feels that a great revenge has been avenged, they are also frightened. If your hands and feet are not clean, you will lose your head!
Zhou Yang said again: "To be honest, if I hadn't seen everyone's suffering and wanted to help you generate more income and become rich, I really wouldn't have the time to think about all this!"
"I'll leave it here today. You can do the pig farm if you want to. If you don't want to participate, don't force me. If it doesn't work, I will pay for it myself. Just don't be jealous when I make money. !”
At this time, Wang Ping, the captain of the fourth team, stood up and said: "Comrade members of the fourth team, although Vice Captain Zhou proposed this pig farm, I, as the captain, support it with both hands. If anything happens, I am willing to take full responsibility!"
Zhang Genwang also stood up and said: "I also agree, I am also responsible for everything!"
Several other village cadres also expressed their full support for Zhou Yang.
Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Li Fengnian knocked the dry tobacco pot on the sole of his shoe, knocked out the ash inside, and took the tin trumpet from Zhou Yang!
"Everyone be quiet! What needs to be said has been said. Let's take a vote. If you are willing to join the pig farm, please raise your hands!"
As soon as he finished speaking, almost everyone in the fourth production team raised their hands and expressed their willingness to follow Zhou Yang.
The situation on the Fifth Production Team was similar. Although some people were still hesitant, they all raised their hands in the end.
Even Aunt Zhou, who had sharp words and arrogant attitude just now, was no exception.
Although the cultural level of everyone is not very high, they are not stupid.
Judging from the attitude of these village cadres, we know that this thing can definitely be done, otherwise they would not support Zhou Yang, an educated youth from outside.
In addition, to put it bluntly, even if we don’t succeed in the end, the loss will be a collective loss, and there will be no individual loss!
On the other hand, once it is done, they will get money.
It can be said that there is no risk in this matter, but the benefits are very high, so only a fool would not do it!
"Since everyone agrees, then this matter is settled. From now on, everyone must follow the instructions of the production team and don't deal with what is available and what is not available every day!" Li Fengnian said.
Seeing that Li Fengnian wanted to break up the meeting, Zhou Yang took over the tin trumpet again!
The members below saw this scene and knew that Zhou Yang had something to say, so they became quiet again!
Zhou Yang's eyes scanned everyone's faces, and then said: "Everyone in our village has finally gathered together today, so don't rush back yet, I want to chat with everyone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone heard someone say: "Zhou Zhiqing, what do you want to talk about? Hurry up. It's been a tiring day and I want to go home and sleep!"
"Yeah, I have to go to work tomorrow morning!"
"Zhou Zhiqing, if you have anything to say, just say it. We are listening..."
Zhou Yang signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "I want to chat with everyone about life, about ideals, and about the future!"
As soon as these words came out, not only the members were confused, but also the village cadres Li Fengnian and Wang Pingping frowned.
Only the educated youths on the side seemed to be interested, but most of them had confusion in their eyes.
"I know that for you, life, ideals, and the future are all frivolous things, and they are not as real as the firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea at home. But what I want to say is that these are actually far away from you. It’s not that far away, it’s just that everyone doesn’t realize it!”
Seeing that everyone still looked confused, Zhou Yang said again: "Uncle Zhanfu, you are the first to stand up and speak. Let me ask you a question!"
"Zhou Zhiqing, tell me, I'm listening!" Zhang Zhanfu said with some trepidation.
"Uncle Zhanfu, are you satisfied with your current life?"
"this..."
"to be honest!"
"Not satisfied!"
"Then what is your biggest wish now?"
"Pay off the debt you owe the production team for the famine, and add a quilt to your home. Otherwise, you won't be able to survive the winter!"
At this point, Zhang Zhanfu suddenly became a little emotional, and he choked up and said, "Everyone knows the situation in my family. I haven't eaten yet, and now I still owe the production team 300 kilograms of grain and 20 yuan." Because of the money, the whole family now has two quilts in total, and the younger ones still don’t have cotton-padded clothes. It’s really difficult!”
Everyone knew the situation of Zhang Zhanfu's family, and when they heard what he said, they couldn't help but sigh.
"Uncle Zhanfu, have you thought about how to solve the crisis at home?" Zhou Yang asked again.
"I don't know! I originally thought that there would be a good harvest this year, but there was a drought and no rain. Although the fields were watered, I didn't know if the crops would grow..."
Having said this, Zhang Zhanfu fell silent again!
It can be seen that he obviously has no confidence in the rest of his life.
Zhou Yang motioned Zhang Zhanfu to sit down, and then said: "The questions I asked just now are actually about your life, your ideals and your plans for the future!"
"It can be seen that the vast majority of people are not satisfied with their current lives, but they have beautiful ideals, but they have no confidence in the future, let alone a complete plan! This is terrible!"
Seeing these members in front of him, Zhou Yang thought of a public service advertisement he had seen in his previous life - make money, get a wife, have babies, and herd sheep!
And this is also the living condition of most people in this era, an endless cycle that cannot be broken out!
"Zhou Zhiqing, isn't this how everyone comes here? What's so scary!" someone asked.
Zhou Yang said with a serious face: "Because there is no plan, no confidence, or even the courage to change the status quo, everyone's ideals are limited to the money, rice, oil and salt in front of them. The final result is to let the next generation repeat your current life!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "Tell me about my plan for our village. In my imagination, the future Babaoliang Village will be a place where everyone can have enough food and clothing, and every household has a brick house and a bicycle. The granary at home is full, and there are at least a few hundred dollars in the bankbook at the bottom of the box!"
"Here, young people have jobs to do, the elderly don't have to worry about their children being unfilial, and the children can go to school. This is my ideal Babaoliang Village!"
Zhou Yang's words once again shocked everyone present, including the village cadres on the side.
They can't even imagine such a life. Everyone lives in a brick house, every family has a bicycle, and they are well fed and clothed. Is this possible?
"Can we really achieve such a life?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, as long as you believe in me, cooperate with the production team's arrangements, roll up your sleeves and work hard, everything you want will come true, I promise!" Zhou Yang said!
After saying this, Zhou Yang returned the tin trumpet to Li Fengnian.
Then he walked to Li Youwei, picked up Bao'er, took his wife's hand, and walked towards home!
