Chapter 502: This is much more cost-effective than growing crops
After allocating the three places recommended for college to three girls, Wang Yafang, Xu Kai, and Yu Hong, Su Mingzhe took Wang Quan and Wu Qian to the side and chatted for a while.
As can be seen from the TV series, Wu Qian is a woman who has the character of a traditional philistine, and is also a bit ungrateful.
"The grace of rice rises and the hatred of rice rises" refers to people like her.
Su Mingzhe wanted to prevent the image he had finally built up in Wang Quan's heart from being shattered.
In a separate chat, Su Mingzhe also promised Wang Quan and Wu Qian again that in addition to recommending places for them to go to college next year, he would also try his best to help them join the party next year.
"Can the two of us apply to join the party?"
Faced with the sudden good news, Wang Quan and Wu Qian were excited and a little overwhelmed.
Compared with going to college, being able to join the party is more attractive to young people.
"Director Yang from the Educated Youth Office promised to be my introducer. If you two are concerned, I can ask the old village chief for help. There should be no problem."
Su Mingzhe explained the situation clearly to the two of them. At this time, Wang Quan and Wu Qian both expressed their willingness to follow Su Mingzhe's arrangements.
By this time, the two of them no longer had any objections to Su Mingzhe's recommendation of college places to three girls.
On the second day, the old village chief came over and expressed his intention to hold a collective wedding for Su Mingzhe, Zheng Juan, Wang Quan and Wu Qian.
Su Mingzhe didn't care about this, just treat it as a group dinner for everyone.
Among the primary school teachers' dormitories, two relatively spacious rooms have been converted into new houses.
Su Mingzhe and Zheng Juan's new house is near the east kitchen, and Wang Quan and Wu Qian's new house is near the west vegetable garden.
Between the two new houses, there are four dormitories. Zheng's mother and Zheng Guangming lived in one, and Wang Yafang, Xu Kai and Yu Hong also chose one each.
The reason for these three girls to move here is very strong. They are the only three teachers at Baiyashan Village Central Primary School. It is reasonable and reasonable for them to live in a new house for a few days when they are about to leave Baiyashan.
Su Mingzhe saw that they were speaking so confidently, so he just let them do whatever they wanted.
With the establishment of the new school, the air-raid shelter school has completely become the educated youth spot of White Ya Mountain.
In the educated youth spot, there are currently four male educated youths: Zhou Bingkun, Peng Yuanchao, Bai Xiangyang, and Li Gui, and four female educated youths: Cai Lele, Guan Ling, Bai Xiuli, and Zhao Tongtong.
Four men and four women seem to have a balance of yin and yang.
The wedding day arrived in a blink of an eye.
The weather is sunny and the temperature is neither high nor low, about 20 degrees.
Under the leadership of the old village chief, all the villagers came to attend the wedding.
This guy Zhou Bingkun made a guest appearance as the emcee.
I have to say, even though this kid is usually silent, he always talks one witty joke after another. He can even say tongue twisters and play allegro. He is almost responsible for all the laughter.
Several single female educated youths also focused their attention on him.
After the wedding was completed, it was time for everyone to sing, dance, and eat and drink.
With enough food and wine, the meal lasted from noon to about seven o'clock in the evening.
At night, Su Mingzhe was in a high mood because he drank a lot of wine.
Xu Kai lives next door to the new house. He really couldn't stand the noise, so he took advantage of the break next door and ran outside to enjoy the cool air.
Then, Xu Kai met Wang Yafang, who was also distressed.
Next door to Wang Yafang are Wang Quan and Wu Qian.
The two women met, smiled bitterly, rested for a while, then turned around and knocked on Yu Hong's bedroom.
Yu Hong is such a cunning girl. When choosing a dormitory, she actually chose the middle position.
On the second day.
Everyone's life has returned to calm, but the three girls, Wang Yafang, Xu Kai, and Yu Hong, have begun to review textbook materials in preparation for the exam eight days later.
Although it is recommended to go to college, entrance exams are still required.
In order to seize this opportunity, the three girls reviewed the textbooks day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep.
In order to help the three girls review, Su Mingzhe specially made a review plan for them and checked the review status every day.
I have to say that Wang Yafang, Xu Kai, and Yu Hong were very lucky to have met Su Mingzhe, a good man who was willing to think about them and was familiar with the future situation.
In the blink of an eye, it’s early August.
The exam results have come out. A total of more than 60 children of workers, peasants and soldiers in Mulan County took the exam, but the passing rate was only one-third, that is, more than 20 people were successfully admitted.
This number is very small compared to the more than 100,000 people admitted nationwide.
But for the educated youth in Mulan County, this is a huge life leap.
The university that admitted Wang Yafang and Xu Kai is Black University, and the school address is in Jichun City.
Yu Hong's academic performance was a little poor, so she was admitted to Songhuajiang Agricultural College. The school is located in the Songhuajiang area, only more than 20 miles away from Jichun City.
Moreover, there are public buses between Jichun City and the Songhuajiang area, making it very convenient to travel between them.
Su Mingzhe learned that the three girls were admitted and was happy for them.
Later, Su Mingzhe went to the mushroom cultivation experimental base, found six female educated youths, Zheng Juan, Wu Qian, Cai Lele, Guan Ling, Bai Xiuli, and Zhao Tongtong, and asked them who would take over as a female teacher.
Now that Wang Yafang and her three daughters are gone, the school cannot be suspended.
The five female educated youths were unwilling to leave this peaceful place, so they all looked hesitant when faced with Su Mingzhe's inquiry.
Zheng Juan was the first to speak: "Mingzhe, I haven't even gone to school. The little knowledge I know now was all taught by you. I won't mislead others."
Wu Qian also quickly said:
"I'm not very knowledgeable. I'm in high school (fifth and sixth grade) and haven't even gone to junior high school. I don't want to be embarrassed."
Seeing this, Su Mingzhe had to sigh and explained to several people:
"Now the village is expanding the greenhouse. The old village chief and I have estimated that by next year, the mushroom cultivation scale will be expanded to at least ten times the current size. By then, if you work here, you may not be teaching the children.
easy."
When the other four female educated youths heard what Su Mingzhe said, they immediately began to hesitate.
It was Guan Ling who raised her hand first to express her willingness to teach her children.
Later, Cai Lele and Bai Xiuli also expressed their willingness to become teachers in schools.
In the end, there was only one little girl, Zhao Tongtong. She had a good relationship with Zheng Juan on weekdays and was unwilling to leave the mushroom cultivation base.
In this case, the new primary school teacher decided on three female educated youths: Cai Lele, Bai Xiuli, and Guan Ling.
Su Mingzhe led the three girls to the school and asked them to hand over to the three girls Wang Yafang.
Wang Yafang and her three daughters also wanted to leave here as soon as possible, so they took out their teaching textbooks and lesson plans, took the three daughters to the classroom, and began to impart their teaching experience.
Su Mingzhe looked at it for a while and felt that nothing happened to him, so he turned around and left.
"Brother Su, wait a moment."
Xu Kai followed the man out of the classroom and thanked Su Mingzhe with a blushing face:
"Brother Su, thank you for your care over the past year. I, Fangfang, and Yu Hong would like to treat you to a meal alone."
"That's no need. Just let me know when you've finished your work these days, and I'll take you back to Jichun City to get ready for school."
Su Mingzhe knew that if he sent the three girls away this time, they would not know when they would meet again next time, so he did not want to make it so sad.
Besides, I already have a wife, and my mother-in-law and brother-in-law are still here. Even if I have a lustful heart and courage, I still have no chance to do bad things.
Su Mingzhe was not willing to play an ambiguous and boring game that he knew would have no results.
Xu Kai also didn't expect that Su Mingzhe would refuse so decisively, pouting his lips in grievance:
"Brother Su, the three of us really just want to show how much you have taken care of us over the past year, can't you give us a chance?"
"I really don't have time..."
Su Mingzhe was speechless by Xu Kai's expression.
This Xu Kai's speech and behavior are becoming more and more like green tea.
It was because I knew that the three of them were simply expressing their gratitude that I had no intention of agreeing to them.
If Xu Kai invited himself alone, maybe he would go to the appointment.
Seeing Su Mingzhe's repeated evasions, Xu Kai felt a little discouraged and tried to persuade him a few more times. Seeing that Su Mingzhe refused to agree to the appointment, he had to say a few more words of thanks.
A few days later, on Thursday, Su Mingzhe sent Wang Yafang, Xu Kai, and Yu Hong back to Jichun City.
This time I returned to Jichun City simply to send the three of them home.
On the way to send the three girls home, Su Mingzhe was still a little proud.
At least he didn't do any harm to these three girls during this year.
Only Wang Yafang kept muttering that the three of them had known Su Mingzhe for a long time, but Zheng Juan intercepted her and snatched Su Mingzhe away.
Su Mingzhe took her words as a child's grievance and didn't take it seriously.
Su Mingzhe stayed home for a day, and the next day, he went to the Educated Youth Office and took a bus back to Mulan County.
With the departure of Wang Yafang, Xu Kai, and Yu Hong, the Baiya Mountain Educated Youth Spot has entered a relatively stable stage.
Wang Quan, Wu Qian, Zhou Bingkun, Zheng Juan, and Zhao Tongtong are all Su Mingzhe's die-hard confidants.
Although Peng Yuanchao, Cai Lele, and Guan Ling were dissatisfied with Su Mingzhe's leadership, they were very obedient and accepted their fate.
Bai Xiangyang, Li Gui, and Bai Xiuli were left huddled together to keep warm, and Su Mingzhe let them do as they pleased.
In the blink of an eye, summer turns to winter.
Another year.
In the spring of 1971, the planting base ushered in a great harvest. Zheng Juan, Wu Qian, Zhao Tongtong, and three other women harvested more than 2,000 kilograms of Hericium erinaceus.
Under the guidance of Su Mingzhe, after drying, he got three hundred kilograms of dry goods.
According to current international market prices, these three hundred kilograms of dried Hericium mushrooms are worth more than a thousand US dollars.
After the county received news of the hericium harvest, it immediately sent people into the village to collect all the hericium.
The reason is that all materials are sold and purchased uniformly, and the government handles and arranges them uniformly.
Of course, the county also followed the rules and opened an account for Baiyashan Village in the credit union and transferred three hundred yuan, which was regarded as the first purchase payment.
The price of unified sales and purchase must not be based on the international market price.
According to the national unified sales and purchasing price, fresh Hericium erinaceus costs two cents per pound, and dried Hericium erinaceus costs one pound per pound.
Participation in the Northeast is basically handled in accordance with this rule.
Hericium can be grown twice a year. According to this acquisition standard and the current scale, the mushroom cultivation base can earn 600 yuan a year.
Now that more than a dozen greenhouses have been completely built, Su Mingzhe, Zheng Juan, Wu Qian, and Zhao Tongtong are preparing to train some villagers to grow Hericium erinaceus. It is conservatively estimated that the scale will be expanded at least ten times.
By then, the annual income from growing Hericium erinaceus will be 6,000 yuan, or even more.
According to the old village chief, this is much more cost-effective than growing crops.
According to the current market price of food, the food grown in the entire Baiya Mountain Village in a year is only six to seven thousand yuan.
Converted to one person, the villagers of Baiya Mountain have been busy for a whole year and their income is only thirty or fifty yuan.
