Chapter 61 Can our brigade also set up a factory?
Early in the morning, before going to work, everyone in the brigade gathered at the threshing ground.
After a few days, Shen Yuanxing finally completed the procedures for the brigade to set up a factory. After discussing with the old secretary, they both felt that the sooner the factory was built, the better, so they gathered everyone together early in the morning.
After hearing Shen Yuanxing's words, the crowd suddenly exploded.
"What? Build a factory? Can our brigade build a factory?"
"Why not? Didn't you hear what the team leader said? It was Shen Anan who contributed technology to the village and even brought back orders from the furniture factory!"
"Yeah, how did Wang Sufen and her husband raise their daughter? Why did they make the Shen family's ancestral graves smoke?"
"You treat my daughter like a cow all day long. It's not your turn to make money in other people's houses."
"Hey, what you said..."
Not only the villagers, but also the educated youth were so excited that they were at a loss.
Ever since I started working in the fields with the villagers, all my great ideals of building the countryside have been shattered by the heavy labor.
These young masters and young ladies in the city have been hiding in their beds and crying these days.
I thought I would just have to concentrate on farm work before returning to the city.
I didn’t expect that the Wanyang Brigade is going to set up a factory now!
Even though it's just a brick factory, it can't be all physical work. If they can find a job there, it's better than working in the fields.
Moreover, the brick factory business of this brigade has reached the county. If they enter the factory, they may have the opportunity to go to the county or even the province. Thinking of this, everyone stared at Shen Yuanxing even more fiercely.
Duan Hongzhe clenched his hands, feeling the friction of the calluses in his palms, and secretly made up his mind that he must go to the brick factory this time!
With his abilities, as long as he seizes this opportunity, he will definitely be able to gain a certain say in the factory. Not only will he no longer have to do physical work, he may even have the opportunity to return to the city.
Zhong Qing came over excitedly: "Hongzhe, this opportunity is too rare, we must find a way to get into the factory!"
Duan Hongzhe agreed with a smile, but when he turned around, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
After them, several more groups of educated youth came to Wanyang Brigade, and now there are more than thirty people in the educated youth site.
Normally, it's nothing, but if these people want to fight with him, then don't blame him for being ruthless...
However, when it comes to setting up a factory, there are those who support it and there are bound to be those who oppose it.
Shen Ligen was the first to jump out. "The team is taking people to build a factory. What will happen to the farm work? If the harvest is bad, we won't even have rice soup to drink!"
"Besides, this brick factory sounds good, but whether it's profitable or not is still uncertain! If it doesn't make money, are we going to let all the workers in the factory starve?"
"She, Shen Anan, is encouraging the brigade to build a factory. Maybe she has bad intentions and wants everyone to starve to death!"
"Unless the team guarantees everyone that regardless of whether they make money or not, any worker who goes to the brick factory will be penalized!"
Shen Ligen's mind was working quickly. His son Youqing was lazy and couldn't even earn half of the work points every day. If the team could make the workers in the brick factory get full work points, even if his son slacked off in the factory, the family income would double!
As for whether Youqing from their family could enter the brick factory, Shen Ligen was quite confident. After all, he was Shen Yuanxing's elder. Isn't it just a matter of asking him to arrange someone? How dare he disobey?
"Bah, you idiot, what are you daydreaming about! How dare you say such a thing!" Wang Sufen pointed at Shen Ligen's nose and started cursing.
Last time, Shen Ligen helped Zhu Mingzhu and her daughter to frame Lao Liu, and she hadn't settled the score with him yet. She didn't expect that he would dare to jump out this time.
The brick factory matter was led by her daughter and second son. This idiot jumped out to oppose it, isn't he just making things difficult for her An An?
It's true that the older you get, the worse you become!
Shen Ligen was completely humiliated by Wang Sufen's scolding. He glared at Shen Laiyou who was standing beside him with an angry look on his face: "Laiyou, you just watched your wife bully your second uncle! If your father saw you treating your elders like this, he would probably jump out of his grave in anger."
Shen Laiyou pulled Wang Sufen aside, who was about to retort, and said with a dark face, "Shen Ligen, our two families are far apart. You have repeatedly made things difficult for my Shen family. It doesn't matter if you don't recognize this relative. From now on, our two families will be strangers and there is no need to visit each other anymore."
"You, you, are so unfilial, your father..." Shen Ligen didn't expect Shen Laiyou to react like this, and he was embarrassed.
Shen Anan was afraid that Shen Lai would be angry. "What's wrong with my grandpa? If he knew that our team is getting better and better, he would be happy! Unlike you, you can't spit out anything except the acid in your stomach."
"Okay! Everyone, listen to me!" The old secretary rang the bell in the threshing ground with a serious expression.
"Shen Anan voluntarily contributed the method of making these red bricks to the village. She didn't ask for a penny. It was only when our brigade leader insisted that she was willing to accept a batch of red bricks."
"If this happened to you, would you be willing? Brick making is a craft, and every family holds it like a family heirloom, not to mention that they helped us find a market for it."
"I'm putting this on notice. No matter whether this brick factory can be established or not, or whether it makes money or not, anyone who dares to say a word about the Shen family will be the enemy of our entire team."
"These people just don't want to make life easier for everyone. They should be criticized and sent to reform camps!"
As soon as the old secretary finished speaking, the people who had just followed the commotion couldn't help but shrink their necks, and Shen Ligen was sweating all over because of the accusatory looks from others.
"As for the crops in the fields, you don't have to worry. Our team has already discussed it. We will only recruit ten workers for the first batch. It will not affect production in any way."
"If the brick factory does well, we can expand the staff. Then, as long as the village has enough money, we can hire cows and tractors to help everyone farm. And everyone in the team can also share the profits. What do you think?"
"Okay!" The people below responded enthusiastically, and the last bit of concern disappeared.
"Secretary! How do the workers in this brick factory sign up? Can we educated youth go?" Zheng Chenlong blurted out with an anxious look on his face.
Shen Yuanxing took over the conversation: "Among the first ten workers in our brick factory, nine are brick makers and one is a salesperson."
"Brickmakers are only accepted as adult males, and salespeople are open to both men and women. To ensure fairness, we will conduct a unified assessment at the brigade headquarters in two days, and the best candidates will be selected."
"As for the educated youth in the team, they can also come to participate in the selection when the time comes. We must work hard together to make our brick factory make a lot of money as soon as possible!" Shen Yuanxing said it with great vigor, and the people below were excited when they heard it.
The entire Wanyang Brigade, regardless of gender, age or status, was extremely excited by the news. Even when they walked into the fields to start working, they were still discussing it everywhere.
