Chapter 256 Who said you did nothing?
The closer it gets to the end of the year, the better the vegetable store business is. Yan Xiuzhu and her friends don't want to give up such a good opportunity to make money, and they also want to clear out all the inventory in the store and not come back until New Year's Eve.
Zhou Jiafeng and his family didn't want to take leave and have their wages deducted, so they simply accompanied their wives back to Zhoujiawan on New Year's Eve.
They were not at home, but they sent the New Year's money back early to make it convenient for Zhou Chuanguo and others to buy New Year's goods.
When Zhou Rong and his companions arrived at Zhou Chuan's house, there were two tables in the lobby, each with several meat dishes, and the sound of frying could be heard in the kitchen.
Zhou Chuanguo and Zhou Chuantai were setting the table. When they saw Zhou's father and others coming, they hurriedly pulled them to sit at the table.
The men in Zhoujiawan all love drinking. In order to let the men drink to their heart's content and the women eat comfortably, when there is a banquet at home, men and women are usually seated at separate tables.
When Zhou Rong was about to sit at the same table with Zhou's mother and the others, Zhou Chuanguo stopped him and said, "Go sit at our table!"
Zhou Rong: "...Uncle, I don't drink."
Zhou Chuanguo: "Your aunt brewed some rice wine, which is not intoxicating. You drink rice wine and we drink liquor. I have a lot to say to you. You are a busy man in the next few days. I can only take the opportunity tonight to chat with you."
Zhou Chuantai said: "I also have a lot to say to you, please give me and your uncle some face and have a few drinks with us."
Zhou Rong: "Okay."
The dishes were almost served, and Zhou Chuanguo invited everyone to eat. He raised his glass and first toasted Zhou's father, thanking him for giving birth to a good daughter.
Then he toasted Zhou Rong: "Da Rong, my family is poor, and no one is an official. The whole family has been digging for food in the fields. A few years ago, I was still a coward and no one looked at me seriously. Now I am proud of you. This glass of wine, uncle toasts to you!"
Zhou Rong clinked his glasses with Zhou Chuanguo and asked with a smile, "I didn't do anything for my uncle, why did he say that?"
When Zhou Chuanguo was about to answer Zhou Rong's question, Zhou Chuantai answered, "Who said you didn't do anything? Without you, how could Jiafeng and Jiafu have the chance to enter the city?
They now send us 5 yuan every month. Even if we don’t work in the fields, we can still eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. This is a blessing that most people don’t have!
If it weren't for your suggestion, who would have thought of setting up a demonstration base? And opening a shop in the city? Without you, where would those two great teachers come from?
Because of what you have done, everyone in the village has received money and no longer has to worry about not having enough money to marry a wife or being afraid to see a doctor when they are sick.
You are now the greatest contributor to our Zhoujiawan. Chuanyi said that he wants to carve your name into the wall of honor and include you in the family tree. I fully support it! "
Zhou Chuanguo pulled Zhou Chuantai and said in feigned anger: "Why are you trying to steal my words?"
Then he said to Zhou Rong: "What your second uncle said is incomplete. Let me add something. When you sent Teacher Dong and Teacher Zhang back in August, Chuanyi should have told you that the village had distributed money once, and that time each family received at least 8 yuan.
On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, the village distributed money again. Those with fewer work points received 50 yuan, while those with more work points received more than 100 yuan! This did not include the income from selling grain.
Teachers Dong and Zhang are very good. Under their guidance, the chickens, pigs and sheep on the farm have hardly ever gotten sick.
They taught us many ways to increase production, and they also learned how to mix pesticides themselves. We had a bumper harvest of late rice, with the yield per mu increasing by nearly 80 kilograms over last year!
The village chief, clan chief, and township chief were all praised by the county for this matter.
When you were not at home, your second uncle and fourth uncle and I took advantage of the situation. The village chief asked me to look after the orchard, your second uncle was responsible for looking after the vegetable base, and your fourth uncle joined the militia and was responsible for the security of the farm.
We don't have much work to do every day, so we just hang around there and get full work points. Even if Jiafeng and the others don't send money back, we don't have to worry about food and drink.
Those families in the village who used to look down on us now greet us politely when they see us. I have only seen this scene in my dreams before, but I never expected it to come true!
Tell me, does uncle want to thank you? ! "
In order to repay Zhou Rong and to tie his interests to hers, Zhou Chuanyi transferred Zhou Chuanguo, Zhou Chuantai and Zhou Chuanan to the base to work as minor managers.
The villagers were happy when they got the money, and they also had an innate awe of officials. After Zhou Chuanguo and other two were promoted, everyone would half-jokingly call them "little housekeepers" when they saw them.
This title is very useful to Zhou Chuanguo and Zhou Chuantai, who have never been officials. Both of them now walk with a breeze.
After Zhou Chuanan was injured and discharged from the army, he always wanted to find a job to prove his worth, but because he had a broken leg, many units, including the village militia company, did not want him. The few positions that accepted disabled people were allocated by the organization to those veterans who had families.
The village was responsible for Zhou Chuan'an's food rations, but he didn't want to just sit and wait for death, and he felt that life was too boring and uninteresting.
He didn't feel anything about the title of "little housekeeper". It was only after Zhou Chuanyi asked him to join the militia company and work with everyone to ensure the safety of the base that he felt his life became fulfilling and he had hope.
Zhou Chuan'an raised his glass and said, "Darong, Fourth Uncle wants to toast you too! If it weren't for what you did for the village, Fourth Uncle wouldn't have had the chance to join the militia company, and would have only lived a life of idleness and waiting to die.
I feel like I've lived my life again, and I have endless energy every day. Come, let's have a drink!"
Zhou Rong: "Okay! Let's use this glass of wine to toast our bright future!"
While eating, everyone discussed the latest news happening in the city and the village.
Zhou Rong also learned from Zhou Chuanguo and others why the villagers were so enthusiastic.
The demonstration base in Zhoujiawan had a bumper harvest this year. Vegetables and livestock are selling very well in the city, and they also supply other supply and marketing cooperatives and vegetable stores from time to time. Every household has received money, which has solved many of their daily life troubles.
Due to the success of the demonstration base and the increase in grain production, Zhoujiawan was praised by the township and county, and won two banners and certificates. Leaders at all levels also came to inspect. This honor made everyone feel proud when they went out.
Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Chuanjing told everyone that Zhou Rong was responsible for Zhoujiawan's present status. Without her, everyone would still have to worry about not having enough money to build houses, get married, and buy New Year's goods.
In order to commend Zhou Rong's contribution, the village decided to add Zhou Rong's name and deeds to the honor wall of the ancestral hall, and planned to add her to the family tree on New Year's Day, so that the young people in Zhoujiawan can take her as an example and make more contributions to the village.
It is unprecedented in Zhoujiawan for a girl to be included in the wall of honor and the family tree.
At first, some people questioned that if Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Chuanjing let that man's daughter achieve something like Zhou Rong, they would not hesitate to engrave his daughter's name on the wall of honor and write it into the family tree.
If you can't do it, just shut up and don't participate in the dividends of the demonstration base in the future.
Who would have trouble with money?
Gradually, everyone accepted the arrangements made by Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Chuanjing.
Most people are content with what they have. They are grateful for what Zhou Rong has done for the village and for helping their families get out of trouble, so they spontaneously welcome her on her way back to the village...
