The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

"Congratulations to Xiaomin!" Xie Chengzhi agreed, "Miao Shiwen and the life group are involved. Besides, if we want to raise chickens and grow vegetables later, we will need someone to coordinate, so we will leave it to Miao Shiwen."

"Yes!" Everyone nodded immediately.

For several years here, Miao Shiwen has been making unified plans for food, vegetables, etc. for educated youth. She is as careful as hair, quick-thinking, and fair. Over the past few years, how much food is there in each month and how to use it? Yes, it will be announced, and it has never made life too difficult for everyone. Everyone is convinced.

Zhu Xiaomin, on the other hand, was a bit unreliable in the past few years. She went to the team to do writing work. Regardless of whether it was completed or not, it had no impact on everyone. At worst, she would be replaced at that time.

The matter was settled, and on the tenth day of the lunar month, Zhu Xiaomin followed Xie Chengzhi to the yard of the brigade headquarters.

Hearing that everyone recommended Zhu Xiaomin to take over Lu Mingzheng's job, several cadres at the brigade headquarters discussed and nodded, but then said: "Zhu Zhiqing is a lesbian after all. There is no problem with writing work. If there is other work, you still have to help."

"Of course." Xie Chengzhi nodded immediately.

With this matter settled, the next step is to discuss the production work for the coming year.

As in previous years, the production work has not changed much. It is just where to start clearing and burning mountains, how many acres of trees are planned to be planted, and how many medicinal materials are to be planted.

Naturally, the local indigenous people know best about the situation in the mountains. Xie Chengzhi and Zhu Xiaomin can only listen. However, after studying for a few more years, Xie Chengzhi knows better what kind of trees can be used after they grow up, and makes some suggestions from time to time.

Meetings of this type usually cannot make a final decision. They can only discuss a general idea, assign tasks, and ask everyone to go back and do some inspection work before making a decision before spring.

When the meeting ended, as a newcomer to the meeting, Gu Mancang specifically said to Zhu Xiaomin: "Zhu Zhiqing grew up in a big city and has been working in our forest farm for several years. If you have any suggestions, please give me any suggestions."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled modestly: "When it comes to the work of our forest farm, I only know which step is easy and which step is hard, and how are the secretary and the team members clear? I just want to know, excluding the afforestation task of the forest farm, Do we have any plans to develop side businesses and improve the lives of our members?”

These days, the emphasis is on hard work, communism and joint sales. It is a mistake to make a fortune.

Her words caused a sudden silence in the room.

Xie Chengzhi hurriedly bumped her with his arm and said with an awkward smile: "Xiaomin's intention is to increase our grain production so that everyone will have more food and work more energetically."

Gu Mancang sighed and nodded: "Of course, our forest farm adopts forest-grain intercropping, which is not only good for the growth of the forest, but also increases some grain production."

Huang Meihua, director of the Women's Association, interjected: "What Zhu Zhiqing just said was a side job?"

If we talk about grain production, that should be the main business.

Xie Chengzhi felt nervous and bumped into Zhu Xiaomin quietly.

Zhu Xiaomin was not nervous, and nodded and said: "Well, I went to the town after the autumn harvest. I heard that in Shahe Town, in addition to sharing grain, members also get meat and money at the end of the year. Although it is not much, it is still enough. Good year, I thought, can we follow that?”

Is there such a thing in Shahe Town?

Several cadres immediately whispered among themselves.

Gu Mancang looked at Zhu Xiaomin, puffed on his cigarette a few times, nodded and said, "I will mention this situation at the club meeting in a few days, but we will still focus on afforestation."

Qian Yuanfei, director of the Revolutionary Committee, also glanced at Zhu Xiaomin and shook his head slightly: "Zhu educated youth, you are all educated people. You responded to the call and came to the mountains and countryside to work on the revolution. You want to enjoy it, but you can't stay in our mountains. .”

Xie Chengzhi nodded immediately: "That's what Director Qian said."

Zhu Xiaomin said with a smile: "Director Qian is right. We responded to the call and came to make revolution. What is making revolution? It's not just about shouting slogans. Revolution must be done in earnest. We talk about revolution every day. Promote production, what is this production? We plant trees and go to work on the ground, that is production. The development of side businesses I am talking about is, at a small level, improving the living standards of the members, but at a large level, it is also production and revolution."

When she said this long sentence, not only Qian Yuanfei was unable to refute it, but even Xie Chengzhi was dumbfounded. Gu Mancang, on the other hand, looked at her one more time and nodded: "Yes, we have always said that grasping the revolution will promote production. , but we can’t talk empty words, this requires production, and we can’t just focus on food, after all, we mainly focus on afforestation.”

Huang Meihua asked: "Yes, if we can create some economy, we will also contribute to the country. But we want to develop side businesses, but we cannot occupy the main labor force. Zhu Educated Youth, do you have any ideas?"

Xie Chengzhi hurriedly poked Zhu Xiaomin again and said first, "This is just a suggestion. I need to ask for more details."

Zhu Xiaomin looked at him and could only nod: "Yeah, this is just an immature idea. Now we members can do it by ourselves. We can only raise chickens at home, and the number is still limited. I was thinking, what if we are in the team? We There are thousands of people in the entire production team. Raising chickens and sheep does not require much labor and can generate income. Can we consider it?"

You said it was just an immature idea, but you still mentioned raising chickens and sheep.

Xie Chengzhi glanced at her and stopped talking.

Gu Mancang also looked at her, thought about it, nodded and said, "This matter is not urgent. Let's study the policy again." He tapped his cigarette bag on his foot and announced that the meeting was adjourned.

Qian Yuanfei shook his head as he walked out: "Today's young people are too radical, I'm afraid they will make a mistake if they do this."

Huang Meihua said: "I didn't say that we must do it. Didn't the secretary say that we should study the policy? As long as it doesn't violate the policy."

Several people went out talking.

Seeing Xie Chengzhi and Zhu Xiaomin following these people, Gu Mancang shouted: "Zhu Zhiqing, Xie Zhiqing, please stay for a while and get familiar with the work left by Lu Zhiqing."

The two of them turned back when they heard him shout.

Gu Mancang went to close the door and saw through the window that others had left the brigade yard. Then he came back and pulled up a bench to warm himself by the stove. Then he looked at Zhu Xiaomin and said, "In this case, don't talk anymore before making a decision. "

Xie Chengzhi hurriedly said: "Secretary, don't worry, we are all our own people and we are just talking about our ideas. If it is not suitable, we will not do anything."

Gu Mancang nodded, then looked at Zhu Xiaomin: "Can you tell me more about Zhu Zhiqing's thoughts?"

Xie Chengzhi was stunned: "Secretary..."

Gu Mancang waved his hand: "Just talk casually and don't leave this room."

You know that this secretary is doing practical things.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "Actually, my thinking is not mature. I just thought that if you raise pigs, one infrastructure investment will be high and the other will consume a lot of feed. Raising chickens and sheep is the most suitable."
