Bai Tao and others appeared at the brigade headquarters so late, which also shocked Li Fengnian and others.
At that moment, they immediately let the people in, and asked Tan Shiqing to quickly pour them hot tea to warm themselves up.
After a brief exchange of greetings, when Bai Tao asked about the village's debt, they heard an answer they never expected - clear the debt!
After the shock, Bai Tao immediately confirmed: "Zhishu Li, what you just said was about clearing accounts. I...did I hear correctly?"
It's no wonder that Bai Tao was so surprised, but during this period he had heard all kinds of excuses, requests and explanations. In short, there were two words - no money!
Better villages may allow them to come back after a while. Then the village will have money from selling love food, and they will see if they can exchange some of it for them.
If a village is hit by a disaster, there will be no other expression except silence.
But Babaoliang Village directly said that it wanted to clear its accounts. In their eyes, this was simply a piece of good news!
Li Fengnian smiled and said, "Section Chief Bai, you heard me right, I'm talking about clearing the accounts!"
"Okay, okay, this is the best news we have heard in these days!"
With that said, Bai Tao took out the account book from the briefcase he carried with him, and then said: "Party Secretary Li, the total number of people in your village last year..."
At this time, Zhou Yang on the side suddenly said: "Chief Bai, please wait!"
"What's wrong?"
"Our village not only needs to clear last year's new accounts, but also all the old accounts from previous years, so you'd better bring out all the general ledgers!" Zhou Yang said.
Hearing this, Bai Tao and others were stunned again.
I originally thought that Babaoliang Village just wanted to clean up its accounts, but unexpectedly, it also paid off the old accounts.
This is really a big surprise!
Since the establishment of their county hospital, this is the first village to settle old and new accounts together.
After the shock, Section Chief Bai looked at Li Fengnian and said, "Old Li, if you have any difficulties, it's okay to pay back some of it. There's no need..."
Before Bai Tao could finish speaking, Li Fengnian interrupted him and said with a smile: "It's okay. Clearing the accounts is a joint decision of the village cadres and members!"
"real?"
"Well, but some of the members who were in debt have passed away without children or wives. You can forgive these debts!" Li Fengnian said.
"No problem, that's what it should be. All the creditors are gone, so there's no reason for the team to pay it back!"
At the moment, Li Fengnian checked his statistics with Bai Tao, and then Liang Feng re-checked the accounts with Bai Tao's people on behalf of Babaoliang Village.
Finally, after nearly an hour of verification, the new and old accounts of Babaoliang Village totaled 1,187 yuan and 60 cents. Excluding the 165 yuan and 4 cents that did not need to be repaid, a total of 1,032 yuan and 2 cents needed to be repaid!
After checking the accounts, Liang Feng immediately counted the money directly from the drawer and handed it over to Bai Tao and others.
Bai Tao also immediately wrote off the account on the spot and issued a receipt.
At this point, the debts owed by 64 households in Babaoliang Village to the county hospital for decades have finally been paid off!
When Li Fengnian got the receipt, both the village cadres and members, Bai Tao, Wulan Hongmei and others breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what era you are in, debt is extremely frustrating, and both those who owe money and those who want it will feel exhausted mentally and physically.
After finishing the debt matter, it was already half past nine in the evening.
Li Fengnian was worried that Bai Tao and the others would not be safe on their way back so late, so he planned to keep them in the village for one night and wait until dawn the next day before leaving.
Anyway, there are a lot of empty houses built in the village now. Whether it is Qin Xueyi's laboratory or various factories in the village, they can handle it for one night.
But he was rejected by Bai Tao!
On the one hand, Babaoliang Village is not far from the county seat. If you ride a bicycle, you can go back in one hour at most.
Secondly, they had so much money with them that it was not safe to stay outside, so they insisted on going back overnight.
Seeing that they insisted on going back, Li Fengnian did not continue to persuade them to stay. He took Zhou Yang and others and sent them directly to the entrance of the village before going back.
After coming out of the village, Bai Tao and others stood at the entrance of the village.
Looking at the brightly lit village, the four of them had a tacit understanding and didn't speak for a long time.
The scene just now feels like a dream to them until now.
After so many years of paying debts, they have never encountered such a happy village.
You must know that those debts are not the production team's, but the private debts of the commune members themselves.
Generally speaking, such debt production team will not be responsible.
At most, when they come to collect debts, the production team can cooperate.
At most, when the members really have no money, the production team will lend money to the members to repay debts. Such situations are very rare.
However, it is rare for Babaoliang Village to directly advance the debts of all members who are in debt.
"Section Chief, do you think this village has become rich?"
Bai Tao was silent for a long time before speaking: "Isn't it normal for a village like this to get rich? With such village cadres and community members, it would be unreasonable for them not to get rich!"
"Brother Bai is right, this village really deserves to live a good life!" Wulan Hongmei also said with emotion.
She decided that when she went back, she would write down what she saw and heard today.
Then publish it in newspapers and periodicals to let more people know about this simple little village and these simple village members!
"Let's go..."
"Um!"
.......
Zhou family!
It was almost ten o'clock when Zhou Yang came back from the brigade headquarters.
After entering the door, just as he was about to speak, Li Youwei made a quiet gesture to him.
Only then did Zhou Yang see that his precious girl was lying down on the kang, her eyes were blurred, and she seemed to be about to fall asleep.
At that moment, Zhou Yang tiptoed to the edge of the kang and climbed onto the kang quietly so as not to wake the girl up.
In this way, the couple stayed in silence for more than ten minutes without speaking.
After the little girl's breathing became steady, Li Youwei said, "Why are you back so late?"
“It was time to settle accounts and distribute money, and then I checked the accounts with the county hospital’s debt collection comrade, so I got back late!”
While talking, Zhou Yang took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it to Li Youwei.
Li Youwei took the money and asked, "How much money will our family get this year?"
"Sixty-six dollars and a quarter!"
"That's three cents per work point?"
"Well, but this is just the first batch. It will be divided at least two or three times in the future. Our family will be able to divide at least two to three hundred yuan this year!" Zhou Yang said.
"So many?"
"Well, I specially negotiated with dad to keep half of it, otherwise we could each share three to four hundred yuan!" Zhou Yang said.
"How much money has our village made this year? Can we share so much?"
"A conservative estimate of hundreds of thousands. If we count it by the time of the Chinese New Year, it could be even two hundred thousand!"
"This... so much?"
"It's just because there are too many, so we have to keep some more. If we distribute them all to the members, I don't know how many people will be jealous!" Zhou Yang said.
"You're right. You can never go wrong if you're careful. The most indispensable thing these days is the kind of people with pink eyes!"
Li Youwei has been to Dongquan Farm and heard the experiences of many people, so she sees this aspect more clearly than the villagers and understands Zhou Yang's approach better.
"Well, put the money away and let's sleep!"
"Um..."
