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

Jiang Jiancheng looked carefully at the one Zhu Xiaomin pointed out and asked, "Work point system?"

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "If you work for the cannery, you naturally can't earn work points for your own brigade, so the cannery also uses the work point system, just like the brigade, and at the end of the year, you will be paid according to the work points you have."

This is just a change of where the work is done, everything else is still in line with current policies.

Jiang Jiancheng nodded, flipped through the pages, and asked, "Why is there still a transfer of grain?"

Zhu Xiaomin explained: "I worked in the cannery and also cooked in the cannery. However, no matter which brigade, there were only so many grain fields. If all the grain was borne by the brigade, there might not be enough grain. But we couldn't eat the brigade's grain and work in the cannery. I thought that each brigade should bring as many rations as the number of people transferred to the cannery to work, and the cannery would settle the cost of this part of the grain with the brigade later."

Jiang Jiancheng asked: "What about...fruits? Can each team provide them?"

"Of course!" Zhu Xiaomin nodded. "Since we are setting up a factory in the name of the commune, we must mobilize all the resources of the commune."

Jiang Jiancheng was excited after hearing this. He closed the plan, looked at the cover again, and tried to ask: "Can you leave us a copy of this plan so that we can study it in our company?"

"This is a copy, and it's for the agency." Zhu Xiaomin smiled.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came in and said, "Director Jiang, the donkey cart is ready."

Jiang Jiancheng agreed, went out to take a look, and started to curse: "Didn't they say it was for people to sit on? With this mess, you bastards will freeze into ice if you sit for a while, how can Secretary Zhu sit? Why don't you go and surround it quickly?"

The people outside agreed and ran away. Jiang Jianchengcai came in again, met Zhu Xiaomin's smiling eyes, and smiled awkwardly: "These guys don't have much vision, but they are willing to work. If you need anything, just order them around."

Zhu Xiaomin agreed with a smile, and pointed to the plan and said, "I will be in the village before the Chinese New Year, staying at the educated youth camp of the first brigade. If you have any questions, feel free to come and find me."

"Okay!" Jiang Jiancheng nodded immediately, and sighed, "After returning to the city, Secretary Zhu still has to go back to the countryside. It's really hard."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "Compared to the folks here, this is nothing."

After sitting for a while, someone outside said that the donkey cart had been packed up. Zhu Xiaomin followed out to see that it was a donkey cart usually used to transport grain. It was quite spacious, with a frame on the cart and straw curtains on all sides to block the cold wind. Only the straw curtain at the back of the cart was movable so that people could get on.

This is already my best effort.

Zhu Xiaomin didn't choose and said goodbye to Jiang Jiancheng directly, then pulled Lu Mingzheng into the car.

There was a large circle of hay placed against the wall of the car. The two men put their luggage on one side, chose a comfortable seat on the other side and sat down, letting the driver outside drive.

The donkey cart left the commune yard and headed towards the bumpy country road towards the first brigade.

Lu Mingzheng pulled Zhu Xiaomin's coat tightly together, picked some hay to cover her legs, and sat next to her to block the cold wind coming in through the straw curtain. He looked down at her and smiled.

Zhu Xiaomin saw this and raised her eyebrows and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Lu Mingzheng smiled again, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "It's good to have the right."

In the past few years, when he wanted to go back to the village during the busy farming season, he could still take the grain trucks from the various brigades, but normally he could only walk back on foot.

Zhu Xiaomin was lucky. In this snowy weather, she could get a donkey cart by just going to the commune with a letter of introduction.

Zhu Xiaomin couldn't help laughing and bumped him with her arm: "I really want to go to the literacy class."

Even if not, given her current job, the commune would send a donkey cart to give her a ride.

Lu Mingzheng smiled.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when the donkey cart stopped at the threshing ground of the First Brigade. Zhu Xiaomin and Lu Mingzheng first went to the brigade headquarters to call people to arrange accommodation for the donkey cart and the driver.

Most of the brigade cadres were in the brigade headquarters. When they saw the two people coming back, they hurried out to greet them and welcomed them into Gu Mancang's office.

Gu Mancang moved two chairs towards the stove for the two to sit on, and then he was busy pouring water: "Why didn't you tell us you were coming back? We'll send a tractor to pick you up."

Zhu Xiaomin first mentioned the driver issue and asked someone to arrange it. Then he said, "When we get to the county, there will be a tractor to go to the town. The commune will arrange it later, so there is no need for the team to make a special trip."

If there is an arrangement by the commune, then you will come back with a job.

Gu Mancang immediately asked expectantly, "Is it about building a factory?"

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "I have detailed the plan that Xie Chengzhi sent me before, and it has been approved. Our section chief is running the follow-up procedures, and it should be done soon after the New Year."

Xia Dongliang asked hurriedly: "In other words, we can build the factory this year?"

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "I plan to start construction after the spring plowing, and complete the basic construction first, so as not to delay the harvest of fruits this summer."

Xia Dongliang rubbed his hands excitedly, but felt a little uneasy: "It's just that in the past two years, we have mobilized almost all the strong laborers in the brigade. Now we are setting up a factory, and we don't know if we will have enough manpower." He sighed, "It would be better if there were more strong laborers."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "This factory is run by the entire commune. Although our first brigade is the main force, other brigades also need to provide personnel."

"Is it easy to manage in this case?" Gu Mancang was not sure.

Zhu Xiaomin said: "Before starting the work, I will make a detailed charter, and I may have to requisition my original office later."

Gu Mancang smiled and said, "That's easy. As long as things go well, I will move out right away if you want to use my place."

Zhu Xiaomin waved her hands hastily: "I dare not do that."

As they were talking, they saw Chen Danqing coming over. Gu Mancang smiled and said, "There is only Chen Zhiqing there now. You can discuss it among yourselves."

Chen Danqing saw Lu Mingzheng and Zhu Xiaomin coming back through the window just now. He knew something was wrong, so he waited for a while before coming over. When he heard that he was there, he smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Xiaomin repeated what she had said before: "I guess I'll need your help."

Chen Danqing smiled: "You are my senior." He looked at the luggage they put on the table and asked, "Aren't you going to stay at the Youth Camp?"

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "There is a donkey cart sent by the commune. Let's go in and find someone to arrange it and talk about building a factory. We still have to go back to the educated youth site." Then he asked, "Why don't you see Chengzhi?"

Chen Danqing pointed in the direction of the cafeteria: "They are teaching a literacy class."

Lu Mingzheng was surprised: "Why is Chengzhi the only one in the class?"

Chen Danqing shook his head: "Two people each from other teams have gone, and there are still elementary school children here, so the rest of the people will take turns."

Zhu Xiaomin stood up and said, "Let's go take a look."

This literacy class was originally set up at her suggestion. She wanted to go and inspect the work, so everyone followed her out.
