Chapter 58 The village is rich
"Okay, fellow members! The task of the canning workshop this year has ended. Everyone can pack up and go home. We have a rest this afternoon and it counts as one day's work." Li Junli said with a big wave of his hand.
"oh!"
Many male members shouted excitedly, and the female members also clapped happily, with happy smiles on everyone's faces.
"Don't be too quick to be happy, there is something better. Due to everyone's hard work over the past few months, the village decided to reward each workshop worker with two cans!" Li Junli announced with a smile.
Now everyone was even happier, even though they had been working in the canning factory. However, the village had strict requirements. The most they could do was let everyone taste it during Li Wen's inspection. As for taking it home to taste, there was absolutely no chance.
The members dreamed of tasting the prepared cans, and today they finally received two bottles at noon. They held them tightly in their arms and prepared to go back and share them with their families.
Because Li Wen is the technical director, he has to taste every batch of canned food that comes out. He has been tired of it recently.
Besides, there were a lot of cans in the warehouse in his space, and there were more varieties than this, so he didn't like this one. However, the village gave two bottles to each person in the workshop, and he quickly took them.
Although Li Wen secretly brought a lot of cans to his family from the space warehouse in the name of his workshop in recent months, the family ate them secretly and did not dare to act openly.
After the members packed the last cart of cans, they dispersed and went back to their homes to look for their mothers.
After delivering the last cart of cans, the workshop was completely empty. Only Li Wen and Li Junli were left in the workshop. There were still several hundred bottles of cans left in the warehouse, which had been discussed and would be distributed to the villagers in a few days.
.
"Okay, let's go back and calculate the accounts for the past few months. The county and the commune are waiting for us," Li Juncai, the old party secretary, stood at the door of the workshop and shouted.
The two took a look at the workshop, smiled, and locked the door.
Li Wen carried two bottles of cans and walked casually towards his home. Many members of the village saw it and didn't say anything. After all, there were many people working in the workshop and everyone had distributed cans. As a technician, Li Wen didn't do anything.
So special!
"Brother, you're back!" Far away from home, the little girl Li Juan, wearing a big cotton-padded jacket, ran towards Li Wen.
Keeping his eyes on the two cans, Li Wen smiled and held the little guy's hand.
Li Wen smiled and said: "Let's go home and eat canned food." He led the little guy and jumped towards home. The protagonist was only fourteen years old, still a teenager.
"Awen is back?" Mother Wang Chunmei, second aunt and the old lady were sitting in the dining room by the front door, spinning.
It is now the end of December, the weather in the north is cold and winter has begun, and the north wind is blowing in the yard, making it difficult to sit in the yard.
"Grandma, mom, and second aunt, the workshop has been disbanded today, and each of them has been given two bottles of cans," Li Wen shook the cans in his hand and smiled.
"Yes, I understand. Your second sister came back just now and took two bottles," several people said with a smile.
"Milk, you can eat this bottle. I will open the remaining bottle and let the little ones have a taste," Li Wen said with a smile.
"No need to give it to me. I haven't eaten the canned food you made last time. Just keep a bottle for your grandma's house," the old lady said with a smile.
"Milk, canned food is for food. It's been several months and you haven't eaten it yet," Li Wen complained.
"I'm old. I won't gain weight or grow taller after eating. I'll save the milk for you to eat during the New Year. The old lady smiled kindly.
In the past few months, the food at home has been pretty good. The old lady's body has become much stronger than before, and her face has gained some muscle.
"Awen, ask your second sister to open a bottle too. One bottle is not enough," the second aunt said with a smile.
"I know, Second Aunt," Li Wen smiled and nodded.
There was a cold wind blowing outside at night, and several pots of fire were lit in the dining room by the front door. The old lady put two cans in the pot to heat them up.
The little guys were all dressed like red pandas, they were round and round, and enjoyed eating around the table. They were filial and even fed their mother and grandma from time to time.
The mother, grandma and aunt were still spinning threads by the light of the fire, while the second sister was working on the side. The father and the second uncle were leading the weaving of the straw mats, while the eldest and second brothers collected the reeds for them.
Li Wen sat cross-legged on a chair and read a book. From time to time he watched the little ones playing and talking to the adults. He felt that such a life was really warm.
Due to the cold weather, Li Wen did not go out for the next period of time.
Winter has arrived, and the farm work in the countryside is basically finished. However, the production team occasionally organizes strong laborers to repair canals while the ground is not yet frozen.
"How's it going, Lao Ba, have you calculated the cannery's account?" Li Junli, who was standing, asked anxiously.
During this period of time, the village committee has been calculating the accounts of the cannery and the work points of the members throughout the year.
Sitting in front of the table, Li Dequan quickly moved the abacus beads and kept writing and drawing. He stopped after a while.
"It's out. In these three months, including the income from the first batch of canned peaches, the total income is 23,205 yuan," Li Dequan said excitedly, holding the bill.
"Haha! Okay, even if more than half of this money is handed over, our production team can still keep 10,000 yuan. With this income, even if the autumn grain harvest is poor this year, we can still buy resold grain." Li Junli and several village cadres
Smiling happily.
"Yes, the climate is too dry this year. Even with watering, the autumn grain production has been seriously reduced. The village has paid public grain, and the remaining grain will not be enough to start the spring!" Li Juncai, the old party secretary, sighed.
"Fortunately, there will be no exaggeration this year. If the yield per mu exceeds 10,000 kilograms like the previous two years, and fat pigs compete with elephants, people will probably starve to death this year!" Li Junli lamented.
"Stop talking about these things. As long as our village leadership team works hard in one place and behaves like community members, we will definitely be able to improve our lives." The second uncle, Li Dequan, was afraid that everyone would cross the line by talking, so he hurriedly stopped him.
"Yes! I can finally have a good year this year." Li Dequan said with a smile.
As the accountant of the village, as long as there is money in the account, I feel confident and I am happier than anything else.
"Okay, we will organize the villagers to report this afternoon and distribute the food saved in the village. A few days ago, some members came to the village committee to borrow food from me," Li Junli said with a smile.
"Okay, let's start making arrangements now. It's already winter. In the past few days, the weather has been getting colder and colder. It looks like it's going to snow!" The old party secretary took a puff of dry cigarette and looked up at the gray sky.
After lunch, everyone was in the room, reading, sleeping, and playing, when a clanking sound came out.
"The whole village is going to have a meeting, probably to discuss the dividends at the end of the year," the father said with a smile while wearing a cotton-padded jacket.
"Let's go! Go take a look quickly. If you go late, you will have to queue at the back, and you won't be able to hear the conversation." Li Deyou got off the kang and put on his shoes and said.
In the Li Wen family, only the old lady was guarding the door at home. The rest were all out, and even the little ones, Xiaojuan, joined in the fun. It has been too cold recently and the children are tired of staying at home.
Within ten minutes, everyone rushed to the wheat field at the entrance of the brigade, laughing and joking. It was already crowded with people. Men were smoking, women were talking, and children were crying. It was really lively.
"Awen, come up front and sit here at the village committee," Li Junli waved towards Li Wen.
"Uncle Junli, I won't go. I'm just a child. There are too many people today and it will affect the dignity of the village!" Li Wen waved his hand hurriedly.
"Okay then!" Li Junli saw that he couldn't move Li Wen, so he gave up.
Li Wencai didn't want to sit in the front. He was a young man. The village was full of uncles and aunts. Sitting in the front would be as funny as the monkeys in the zoo.
"Okay, don't talk any more. It's so cold and it's not too bad to give in." The second uncle, Li Dequan, stood up and said.
Li Dequan was in charge of social discipline and public security in the village, so he was more authoritative. The children stopped talking as soon as Li Dequan opened his mouth.
Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Li Dequan sat down.
The old party secretary Li Juncai is getting older, so Li Junli usually does the talking.
Li Junli stood up and looked at the villagers present with a smile. Seeing that everyone looked better, Li Junli also raised his head proudly.
During this period of time, the village purchased fruits, and the village members also benefited a lot. Li Junli also saw many commune and production team members. Most of them were skin and bones from hunger, and their faces were also very bad.
As the village's production captain, Li Junli has considerable power, sometimes more than the branch secretary. At the same time, it is also his main task and responsibility to ensure that the village members have enough to eat.
"Attention, fellow members! I have called everyone together today to give you a report. Report on the results of our village's canning workshop this year, and distribute benefits to everyone." Li Junli smiled and reported to everyone in the village.
"Although this year is still a year of famine, our Sanxing Village has had a good harvest! There was a bumper harvest of peaches in the peach orchard in the autumn, and thanks to everyone's efforts, they were sold at a good price."
"And with the advice and technical help of a good boy from our village, member Li Wen, a canning workshop was established. Huge gains have been achieved in three months," Li Junli said while reading the manuscript.
As soon as Li Junli mentioned Li Wen, everyone in the wheat field cast respectful glances in the direction of Li Wen's family, making Li Wen feel a little embarrassed.
I announced that in addition to paying profits and taxes to the state, the canning workshop in our village still had more than 12,000 yuan in cash and a considerable amount of bills. When Li Junli announced this, the wheat field exploded instantly!
(Everyone, in terms of profits and taxes, there are no standards for this. I just wrote it casually. Don’t go online! Thank you)
Everyone was whispering among themselves, and the villagers did not expect such a large income. You must know that last year, the 128 households in the village received a total of less than 10,000 yuan.
After more than ten minutes, when everyone's comments subsided, Li Junli stood up.
Chapter completed!
