Since the meal has been prepared at the old house, Zhou Yang naturally does not need to eat at home.
And Zhou Yang knew that if his old father-in-law wanted to entertain the driver, Master Wang, he would definitely not deal with it casually. Why bother his wife when there is something delicious?
Afterwards, Zhou Yang packed up his things and loaded all the things he wanted to deliver to his old house onto the donkey cart.
Then he took Li Youwei, who had put on new clothes, and went straight to the old house!
Over at the old house, Li Fengnian was preparing to eat with Master Wang, while his mother-in-law Zhang Guiying was busy at the stove.
The fourth sister-in-law was also there, but she did not come forward. Instead, she held little Li An and sat on the threshold watching a group of children playing in the yard.
Seeing Zhou Yang and Li Youwei driving the donkey cart in, everyone's eyes were fixed on them.
Bao'er, who was the first to react, threw away Er Ni's hand and ran towards Zhou Yang!
"Dad...Dad..."
Unlike the children in the village who always have one father, Zhou Yang taught her to call her daddy since she was a child.
It can be said that this title is unique in Babaoliang Village and even in the entire Tuanjie Commune.
Hearing the familiar voice of the precious girl, Zhou Yang immediately reined in the little donkey and stopped the car.
After passing the reins to Li Youwei's hand, he went directly towards Bao'er.
Just when the little guy was about to hit Zhou Yang, his two hands slipped under Bao'er's arms and hugged the little girl directly.
"Have you missed Dad these past two days?"
"Yes, I really think about it..."
"Hahaha, you are such a considerate little cotton-padded jacket from dad. Dad bought you new clothes and a little book, and also bought you a lot of delicious food!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"Thank you dad, can I share my delicious food with my brothers and sisters?"
"of course..."
At this moment, Li Fengnian shouted to Zhou Yang: "Come here quickly, dinner is ready!"
Zhou Yang did not put down his precious daughter, but carried her directly to the dining table under the eaves.
At this time, there were several dishes on the table, all of which were relatively common home-cooked dishes, including scrambled eggs with leeks, fried loofah, cold cucumber and mushroom soup. The staple food was steamed buns.
Although it is just a simple stir-fry, there is not even a bit of meat in it except some lard residue.
But Zhou Yang and Master Wang both ate deliciously!
Li Fengnian originally planned to open a bottle of wine for Master Wang, but was stopped by Zhou Yang.
These days, people don't pay much attention to the problem of drunk driving, and no one checks it, but Zhou Yang knows the dangers of drinking and driving.
Moreover, Master Wang has already driven for more than six hours this morning and will drive for another six hours in the afternoon. It is really inappropriate to give him a drink.
Seeing Zhou Yang's persistence, Li Fengnian had no choice but to give up!
But in order to show sincerity, before leaving, he took the bottle of wine directly to Master Wang and asked him to drink it when he went home.
After eating, Zhou Yang and Li Fengnian accompanied Master Wang back to the brigade headquarters!
At this time, all the materials on the Jiefang truck had been unloaded, and then Master Wang drove away.
After watching the big truck go away, Zhou Yang asked his old father-in-law to call Zhang Genwang and Wang Ping over.
Soon, the simple conference room was filled with people!
After everyone arrived, Zhou Yang stood up immediately and said: "This time when I went to the provincial capital, I bought the biogas generator and all the necessary pipes, air pressure pumps, electric switches, insurance, and wires. I only waited for the biogas pool to be built. We can electrify the village!”
"All the supplies cost a total of more than 400, and I paid for them myself. I will give all the bills to Accountant Liang later, and the team will have to reimburse me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Genwang was heard saying: "It should be reimbursed!"
Wang Ping asked: "Zhou Zhiqing, how many households can the equipment you bought be used by?"
Zhou Yang thought for a while and said: "If it just lights a lamp, this generator can power thirty or forty households. I plan to use the pig farm as the center to first use the power of the dozens of members' homes in the west of the village." Electrical problem solved!”
"Zhou Zhiqing, our electricity is free, no charge, right?" Liang Feng confirmed again.
"There is no charge, and this is just the beginning. If biogas power generation is indeed feasible, we will build several larger biogas digesters around the village. In the future, our entire village will have free electricity!" Zhou Yang said.
In fact, Zhou Yang also wants to solve the problem of cooking for the members. At present, everyone relies on burning firewood to cook. If clean energy such as biogas can be used, there will be many benefits.
Firstly, it is clean and hygienic, and secondly, it can reduce deforestation.
But considering the cost of rebuilding the stove, and because everyone is not familiar with biogas stoves, it is easy to be dangerous.
Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, this idea was put out by Zhou Yang.
The biogas digester in Babaoliang Village is only used to generate electricity. As for other things, we will talk about it later when everyone’s understanding level improves!
"Then when will we provide electricity to the members?" Zhang Genwang asked happily.
His home is not far from the pig farm. If this thing can really happen, their family will definitely be the first family to use free electricity.
"I want to test the biogas digester in the next two days. If there is no problem, I will connect the wiring for everyone!" Zhou Yang said.
"OK!"
At this moment, Wang Ping suddenly said: "While Zhou Zhiqing is here, let's finalize the matter of changing teachers, so as not to delay it again and again!"
After hearing this, Zhou Yang immediately asked: "What kind of teacher should I change?"
At that moment, Wang Ping told everyone about their plans to replace Lin Wanwan!
After hearing this, Zhou Yang's brows suddenly wrinkled.
In fact, he had thought about this on the way back. Based on Lin Wanwan's current condition, he was indeed not suitable to be a primary school teacher.
So even if no one talks about it, he plans to mention it.
It's just that everyone is staring at this teacher's quota, which makes him a little uncomfortable. Although he also understands these people, from their perspective, it is indeed understandable.
After all, apart from anything else, being a village cadre is not as glamorous as imagined.
Firstly, village cadres have no salary, except for people like Li Fengnian. After all, he is a cadre transferred from the military. He was already a battalion-level officer before retiring, so he will naturally have a salary after retirement.
But ordinary village cadres do not have this kind of treatment. Like ordinary members, they rely on work points, so everyone lives a tight life.
If there is one person in the family who can earn work points as a teacher, it will indeed alleviate a lot of burden.
Secondly, the position of school teacher is very free, and there are winter and summer vacations. Once it is given to someone, it will not be replaced unless something unexpected happens.
Although it is not as good as the iron rice bowl of working in the city, it is not bad.
Seeing Zhou Yang's silence, Li Fengnian immediately asked: "What do you mean, do you agree to replace Lin Zhiqing!"
"I have no objection to replacing Lin Zhiqing, but who are you going to replace him after?" Zhou Yang said.
"This matter has not been determined yet..."
Before the old father-in-law finished speaking, he heard Zhou Yang say: "In my opinion, since everyone wants this teacher's position, some people will be unhappy if it is given to anyone, so let those with ideas grab it on their own!"
"How about grabbing or fighting?"
Zhou Yang shook his head and said: "Since you are a teacher, let's compete based on knowledge. After all, the people chosen are to teach our children. If they are incompetent, we will be the ones who are harmed. What do you think?"
"Zhou Zhiqing, we all understand what you are saying, but what should we do about this matter?" Wang Ping said.
"Simple, let's gather all the people who want to be teachers, give them a set of papers, and let them compete among themselves. Whoever gets the higher score will get the teacher position!" Zhou Yang said.
This model of competition for jobs was too common in later generations, and it was relatively fair.
After listening to Zhou Yang's words, Li Fengnian nodded and said: "I think it's okay. This is based on your own ability. If you lose, your skills are not as good as others. There is nothing to complain about!"
Wang Ping also said: "This is fair, I agree!"
Zhang Genwang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it!"
These main cadres all agreed, and naturally the others had no objections.
At this moment, the matter was settled!
