Solidarity Commune. Babaoliang Village!
It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon when Zhou Yang's family returned to the village!
They were lucky today. They met an acquaintance as soon as they came out of the bus station in Yunshan County.
When Zhou Yang came out of the bus station with Bao'er in his arms and was worried about how to get back to the village, he was pleasantly surprised to see Niu Dazhuang driving a carriage at the entrance of the bus station, and he immediately came over to say hello.
After asking, I found out that this was arranged by my father-in-law, Li Fengnian.
He knew that his daughter and son-in-law's family would be back in the next few days, so once someone came to the city to do errands, he would ask people to go to the bus station to see if they could pick them up.
When the villagers knew that they were picking up Zhou Yang's family, they didn't have any objections.
Niu Dazhuang came to the city today mainly to grind flour for the production team.
It was finished at around three o'clock, and it was not until 4:30 that Zhou Yang and others arrived.
After learning about the situation, Zhou Yang was very moved.
Back in the village, Li Youwei immediately started cleaning the house.
Rural areas are rough, and if you don't stay at home for a few days, there will be a thick layer of dust. What's more, they have been gone for more than half a month this time, so they need to be cleaned up.
Zhou Yang, on the other hand, put down his luggage and went straight to the brigade headquarters!
When he left, a lot of work had not been completed, and now I don't know how well he did it.
Zhou Yang is the kind of person who either doesn't do it, but once he gets involved, he has to do it and achieve results, otherwise won't his time and energy be wasted!
Take this pig farm for example. In his opinion, this is the most convenient way for members to get rid of poverty and become rich, bar none!
Once it’s done, everyone’s income will be doubled in the first year alone. There’s absolutely no room for error!
When Zhou Yang rushed to the brigade headquarters, he happened to encounter the commune members leaving work.
When he saw Xu Siping, an old educated youth, recording work points for everyone, he couldn't help but nodded!
Xu Siping is one of the first educated youths to join the Babao Liang Brigade. He has been here for seven years.
Moreover, he has already started a family with a girl in the village, and he is considered half a villager.
Because Xu Siping has a good personality and is fair in doing things, he is very trusted by the educated youth, and the villagers think highly of him.
At least he is much taller than Zhou Yang before, so letting him take over his job of keeping track of work points is also a good choice.
Whether it’s the people in the educated youth spots or the people in the village, they should have no objections!
Walking to the office of the brigade, Zhou Yang saw his father-in-law Li Fengnian, Wang Ping, Zhang Genwang and others all there, but these old smokers each had a dry tobacco pot, and the whole room was filled with smoke.
The moment the simple wooden door was opened, smoke actually floated out from the top of the door. People who didn't know better thought it was a fire!
Seeing Zhou Yang walking in, everyone stood up and greeted him one after another:
"Zhou Zhiqing is back, he's been gone for a while!"
"What's going on? Didn't you go to visit relatives? Why do you feel like you're running away from home? You're tanned like this?"
"It's a bit darker, but people are also more energetic..."
Listening to everyone talking to each other, Zhou Yang didn't know how to answer!
Seeing this, Li Fengnian knocked the ashes from the soles of his shoes, and then said: "Okay, just stop saying a few words!"
After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Yang and said, "Come back?"
"Well, I just got home!" Zhou Yang replied.
"Why don't you rest at home for a while?"
"I'm not tired, I slept in the car for a while!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"Well, did your visit to your in-laws go well this time?"
"It's okay, I'll tell you about this later!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "Dad, how is the construction of the pig farm going?"
Before Li Fengnian could speak, Wang Ping took over: "More than a hundred pig houses have been built, and the rest are still under construction!"
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "That's good. I'll go over and have a look tomorrow. If possible, I can catch the piglets!"
"Um!"
Then Zhou Yang asked, "How's it going at the feed factory?"
"Second Brother and the others have stored a lot of fodder, cleared out the big warehouse next to it, and got a lot of black vats. They are just waiting for you to come back!" Li Fengnian replied.
"That's good. The more grass meal you prepare, the better. Once the piglets are returned, the feed consumption will be very large!"
Afterwards, Zhou Yang briefly asked about the situation in the village. Except that the tasks assigned when he left had improved a lot, nothing else seemed to have changed.
"Dad, when I came here just now, I saw Xu Zhiqing keeping score. Is the team planning to let him replace me as scorekeeper?" Zhou Yang said.
Li Fengnian shook his head and said: "It is true that he is keeping track of work these days, but it is not yet determined whether he will be allowed to take up the post!"
"Oh, are there any other candidates?" Zhou Yang asked curiously.
"There are indeed a few candidates. I'll talk to you about this later!"
Then Li Fengnian asked again: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
"Nope!"
"Okay, then don't do anything tonight. Let's eat at the old house. I'll ask your mother to prepare more food for tonight!"
"Okay, then I'll go back and talk to Weiwei later!"
"Um!"
.......
At night. Old house!
When Zhou Yang's family of three came over, it was already past seven o'clock!
Before she even entered the door, the little girl heard the sounds of children playing in the yard and couldn't wait to get off Zhou Yang's body.
This girl has been playing with the children in the old house since she was a child. She has never been separated for such a long time before. When she was at Dongquan Farm, she kept shouting about missing her brothers and sisters.
Zhou Yang knew that the girl was anxious and immediately put her down.
Then he handed a pack of White Rabbit toffee in his pocket to Bao'er and asked her to go in and share it with the children in the old house.
After Baoer landed, he held toffee in his hand, spread out his two short legs, and ran towards the children!
Li Hu and others were also very happy after seeing Bao'er and gathered around...
As always, Zhou Yang went to chat with his father-in-law and uncle under the eaves, while Li Youwei went to the kitchen to help with cooking.
As soon as Zhou Yang sat down, his sister-in-law Lin Aizhi brought him a bowl of water!
Rural people don't pay much attention to drinking water. Most of the time they use bowls, and only a few people have teapots.
As far as the old Li family is concerned, only Li Fengnian has his own big teapot, and the others drink from big bowls!
After Li Fengnian exhaled a puff of smoke, he immediately asked: "Is everything okay over there with the in-laws?"
Zhou Yang said immediately: "The situation was not very good when I went there, but it is much better now!"
At that moment, Zhou Yang briefly told what had happened at Dongquan Farm in the past half month.
Everyone was shocked when they learned that Zhou Yang had helped Dongquan Farm solve the water shortage problem within half a month, and even built a brick and tile factory for them.
After a long time, Li Fengnian suddenly said with a smile: "I'm afraid Bureau Li will have to give you a big gift again this time!"
"Why, shouldn't I be the one to thank them?" Zhou Yang said curiously.
"Haha, you may not know that since what happened at Baofeng Reservoir, the county issued an emergency notice to clean out and inspect all reservoirs in the county!"
Then Li Fengnian continued: "So many reservoirs have opened their gates and released water, and the drought in most places has been alleviated, so most of the well-drilling teams in our county are idle!"
"And you just happened to find a job for them this time. The price of 200 yuan for a well is indeed not low. I estimate that after this trip, the Water Conservancy Bureau will have at least 10,000 yuan in income. What do you think of Li Changqing? Should I give you a big gift?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yang suddenly understood and immediately started laughing!
