Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

Chu Dayou was really too lazy to deal with the two of them, so he pushed the problem to his son.

At first, these two men relied on themselves to become the village secretaries. They were domineering in the village and caused a lot of complaints among the villagers.

If it weren't for the sake of his relatives, his temper in the army, and the way they behaved, he would have killed them.

They really thought that the old Chu family could be an official by themselves, and their chickens and dogs could rise to heaven. What's more, I was just a small village secretary. I really thought that I could cover the sky with one hand.

It doesn't matter if they haven't interacted with each other for more than ten years, and I am out of sight and out of mind, as long as they don't cause trouble.

In the end, the two of them walked out of Chu Jianghe's house with livid faces and swearing.

"Second brother, their family has always looked down on us. If you ask me, we shouldn't come. Even if my second brother goes to work as a manager in a brick factory, it's too disrespectful to us!"

After listening to Chu Daqing's words, Chu Dawei also had a gloomy face.

"He is unkind, but don't blame us for being unjust."

"Second brother, what are you going to do? Don't mess around. Chu Dawei has been a secretary for more than 20 years."

"Don't worry, we can't deal with him. Someone can."

After sending away these two relatives, Chu Dayou discussed building a school with Chu Jianghe.

The first thing that needs to be determined is the location issue. Chu Dayou's opinion is that he wants to demolish the original house and then build it again on the original site.

"We all have bricks, so we don't need to go to the county to buy them. Haha, today I ran all day just to find materials for the beams. Hey, you haven't seen that good elm wood is the best for making beams! "Chu Dayou said proudly to Chu Jianghe.

In rural areas in the north, there is a saying that there are locust rafters, elm beams, persimmon pillars, and rammed earth walls, which are the best materials for building houses.

Now that we have decided to build a school, let’s make things better. Xiaohe Village is not short of money now!

In order to find materials for the beams, he traveled to several villages and didn't even bother to have lunch. He didn't come back until he found satisfactory materials for the beams.

But in the blink of an eye, I saw the strange expression on my son's face, and I felt confused.

"What's wrong, Jiang He, what do you think?"

Since his son had transformed the broken brick kiln in the village into a brick factory like Jinwowo with great effort, Chu Dayou felt that it was very necessary to respect his son's opinions.

Chu Jianghe smiled sheepishly. His father's thoughts were not wrong, but the limitations of the times prevented him from taking such a long-term view.

Chu Jianghe asked his father to find the floor plan of the village and pointed to the location opposite the brigade headquarters.

"Dad, this was originally a public house, with an open space next to it. As long as these public houses are knocked down and connected to the open space, this place will be bigger."

"You want to build the school here?"

Chu Dayou thought about it and realized that it was not impossible.

"Yes, if the school is renovated on the original site, there will be no place for the children to go to school. We can't let the children in the village have classes outside. The weather hasn't warmed up yet."

Chu Dayou's old face turned red. He was only thinking about building the school, but he didn't expect this.

"Too."

Regarding the new school to be built, Chu Jianghe had different ideas and felt that it was not clear enough to describe it in words.

He simply took a piece of paper and pen and told Comrade Chu the story while drawing.

"Dad, I think the new school can be built like this. Since the place is big, let's build a three-story building with two grades on the first floor and exactly six grades on the third floor. The style of the house can be like this... so that all the windows can be used Replace it with large pieces of glass, and you can put a basketball stand on the playground, and a few table tennis tables in the corners..."

Seeing the drawings drawn by his son, even Chu Dayou was a little stunned.

The tall buildings, bright classrooms, and well-organized playgrounds...

"Is this...is this possible? It looks better than any middle school in the county."

Chu Dayou looked at the sketch drawn by Chu Jianghe and couldn't get enough of it. If such a beautiful school was placed in Xiaohe Village, who wouldn't envy it.

"Dad, just say what you want."

"Okay, okay...but to build a three-story building, you need to use steel bars, right? This is not easy to do."

Chu Dayou suddenly thought of the crux of the problem. This kind of building cannot use beams, only steel bars.

But steel bars are a scarce commodity now, so it doesn't matter, most people can't get them.

"Dad, we have come up with all the solutions. Let's submit the report on building the school first and see if we can get support from our superiors. If it doesn't work, let's think of other solutions. There are no steel plants in our city."

Chu Da nodded slightly, this was all he could do, hoping to get support from his superiors.

He had already made up his mind. Even if others said that Lao Chu was launching a satellite, he still made up his mind to launch it as a satellite.

It's not like Xiaohe Village is reporting to higher authorities for funding. All the money to build the school is provided by ourselves. You can just approve some steel bars. I believe the problem is not too big.

Next, Chu Dayou typed up the report on renovating the school first, and planned to wait for the report to be approved before asking them for the approval slip for the steel bars, which would have to be ground out.

Chu Jianghe finally smelled some meat when he walked in the village these days, and he felt happy. He could only give so much to the villagers in Xiaohe Village.

Life has become better, especially those who work in brick factories, and they are willing to eat meat every now and then.

This was unthinkable in the past.

I also bought a tractor. As the first tractor in Xiaohe Village, I bought a Dongfanghong brand tractor, which cost more than 4000 yuan.

I remember that when the tractor first arrived in the village, the whole Xiaohe village was greeted by beating gongs and drums. The tractor was also decorated with red colors and walked around the village four or five times.

The scene was simply like: gongs and drums roaring, firecrackers blasting, red flags waving, huge crowds of people.

Now it has been spread in the village that it was Chu Jianghe who built this broken brick kiln into a brick factory. In terms of credit, he deserves the most credit.

Due to the success of the brick factory, Chu Jianghe's prestige in the village was increasing day by day, and he was elected by the vast majority of villagers to become the deputy secretary of the brigade headquarters.

They all hope that he can lead the entire brigade to make a fortune just like he led the production team.

As the deputy secretary of a brigade, he has the responsibility to find ways to lead more people on the road to wealth.

Now when Chu Jianghe was walking in the village, he would greet anyone respectfully and call out: Secretary Xiao Chu.

Chu Jianghe was also under great pressure due to the love of the villagers. He had to plan the next project in Xiaohe Village. For the next project, he planned to engage in breeding and pig raising.

But raising pigs is not that simple. What is lacking most right now is technology.

Large-scale breeding is impossible without technology. How to use the least amount of feed to produce the most meat, which is the so-called feed-to-meat ratio.

This is not just about feeding one or two pigs, feeding them grass and swill. It requires professionals to prepare the feed.

Without technology, diseases will not be treated or prevented, so just cry when the time comes.

Isn't there an old saying: If a family has a lot of wealth, it doesn't count those with hair.

There are also funds, and buying piglets also costs a lot of money.

There is also management, how the overall breeding process is roughly carried out, the materials used at each stage, what to do at different stages of breeding, etc. These all need to be considered.

…………

Thinking of these Chu Jianghe gave him a headache.
