"Oh, why does this feel like a dream? I just fell asleep and woke up, and our family is about to become a city dweller?! Guangzong Yaozu, Guangzong Yaozu!"
In the Liu family house, Old Mrs. Liu sat cross-legged on the kang in ecstasy. She had already begun to think about the benefits of being a city dweller. The more she thought about it, the more beautiful she became in her heart. The more beautiful she was, the more smiles appeared on her face. Later, the whole picture
Her face looked like a withered old chrysanthemum.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and get ready for dinner. Why are you so happy so early? Haven't you heard that it will be two years later? It won't be too late for you to be happy by then." Liu Xi said, but there was something on his face.
He happily puffed on the cigarette in his hand, took another big gulp of cold drink, and got up to get ready to go out.
"What are you doing? Why are you leaving right after you come back?" the old lady asked in confusion.
"I have to go to the brigade headquarters."
Liu Xi said while putting on his shoes: "That Chu Heng said that the quota allocated to us is only part of the quota, and the remaining ones have to be chosen from the members who go to help in the winery. Don't I have to tell the big guys about this?
When it’s over, we still have to figure out who can help.”
When the old lady heard that there was still a spot, a bright light suddenly appeared in her cloudy eyes, knowing that her family had another chance to make a profit.
Being able to help in a winery means having the opportunity to become a city dweller, but it's not up to her old man to decide who can go and who can't go?
Then those who want to go to the winery will have to come to her house to give gifts?
Oops.
This is really a happy event one after another!
The old lady patted her thigh with joy, thinking that Chu Heng was a noble person in their family. She would wait until he died and set up a memorial tablet for immortality!
"Gone."
Liu Xi was also dressed at this time, waved hello to his wife, and left the house quietly. Thinking of everyone's reaction after hearing the good news later, the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.
Suddenly, my waist, which was usually a bit stooped, straightened up quite a bit.
As the captain, he thinks much more than his wife, and he is more aware of how important the few helper quotas he holds are.
This is an opportunity to become a city citizen. I believe no one will be tempted, so he plans to use these few quotas to win over the captains under him to consolidate his position. This effect is better than simply accepting gifts.
This hammer deal is much more cost-effective!
After all, only if he can continue to be the captain can he continue to receive gifts!
Not long after.
Liu Xi hummed a little tune and came to the team headquarters. At this time, everyone else in the team headquarters had gone home to eat, and only the accountant was on duty in the room.
Seeing him coming, the accountant smiled and took out his cigarette: "You're back, captain, I heard you didn't come back yesterday?"
"Don't mention it. We are a bunch of old guys. We were so damned beaten by a young man from the winery. We all lay in the commune like dead dogs all night. We just finished the meeting at noon today." Liu
Xi cursed and took the cigarette and sat down, then told him: "Hurry up and notify the captains of each team in the village and ask them to come over for a meeting."
"well."
The accountant thought he wanted to convey the contents of the meeting, so he didn’t ask any more questions. He stood up and turned on the broadcast switch. After trying the sound a few times, he shouted into the microphone: "Attention, captain of each team. Attention, captain of each team, please come right away."
There is a meeting at the brigade headquarters, please come to the brigade headquarters for a meeting right away!"
Hearing the instructions from the loudspeaker, the captains of each team quickly put down what they were doing and gathered towards the brigade headquarters.
But none of these people was Wu Shengli, the captain of the third team. He didn't sleep much last night and went to catch up on his sleep at home after lunch. At this time, he slept like a pig and didn't hear the sound on the radio at all.
However, his eldest daughter who was washing clothes in the courtyard heard him and called him a few times. But Wu Shengli was too sleepy and really didn't want to think about it, so he ignored him and continued to sleep on his own, planning to wait until he woke up in the afternoon.
Go find someone and ask about the meeting.
He had done this kind of thing before.
So more than ten minutes later, the internal cadre meeting of the Qiushandian brigade, which was missing the third team captain, began quietly.
When several captains learned about the job quotas from Liu Xi, their hearts suddenly became hot, and they all seemed excited. Then several people began to discuss how to divide the pie.
The job quotas that will fall directly on their hands will not be available until two years later. There is no rush for this moment. What they are now allocating are the opportunities for helpers.
The quota assigned to their brigade by the commune was ten at first. They thought it was too much before. Liu Xi found Kong Chuan and argued with each other, so it was changed to eight. But now, the number of help opportunities has suddenly increased.
It was so delicious that several people slapped their thighs regretfully and complained to the captain.
However, there is no point in complaining at this time. Flooding is already uncomfortable, so the top priority is to quickly allocate opportunities for helpers to sort things out.
"My family has many children, I have to have two!"
"Go away, who doesn't have many children at this time?"
"Brothers, brothers, let's discuss it, discuss it, can it be for the two of us? I'll invite you to a restaurant in the county later!"
"Give me three, and I'll treat you to Yantai to eat!"
…
After a fierce competition, Liu Xi finally made the decision himself and divided up the quotas. Five of the eight quotas were divided among several brigade cadres. Even Wu Shengli, who was not present, lost one. The remaining ones
Then prepare to distribute it to the members of the brigade.
In fact, they wanted to share it all, but it was too ugly to look at. They might have to blow up the temple. After all, now... um.
After finalizing the decision, they didn't delay. They immediately turned on the radio again and started shouting.
"Attention, all comrades of the society, attention of all comrades of the society, please come to the threshing floor immediately for a meeting, please come to the threshing floor immediately for a meeting!"
More than twenty minutes later, the threshing floor was full of people. In addition to the strong laborers, even the elderly and children who could not work arrived.
Meetings are rarely held in the village. Every time there is a meeting, it is either for study or for important matters. Especially for the former, everyone must be present, otherwise they will be punished afterwards.
Therefore, even Wu Shengli, who was sleeping at home, Jin Bao, who was playing cards, and others also came.
"What's going on today? Captain."
In the middle of the crowd, Jin Bao, whose face was glowing because he won thirty cents, curiously asked Wu Shengli.
"Why are you asking so many questions? We'll find out later." Wu Shengli yawned lazily, not embarrassed to say that he was sleeping at home just now.
"The captain is here."
At this moment, Liu Xi and other village cadres, Shi Shiran, who were chatting and laughing, came to the threshing floor. The accountant of the brigade was holding a small wooden box in his arms, containing paper and pen.
Seeing this, Wu Shengli walked over quickly and asked with a smile: "Captain, what's going on? Is there still a meeting?"
"Good thing, great thing, you'll know about it later." Liu Xi smiled and patted him on the shoulder without blaming him for his absence just now. He turned around and led people to squeeze into the crowd, ready to announce the news.
