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

After watching the ceremony of the two people, Zhu Xiaomin invited several cadres of the brigade to go to the school for dinner.

Huang Meihua saw the people coming and going and said with a smile: "When it comes to weddings at your educated youth camp, they are often more lively than in the village."

Zhu Xiaomin was helpless: "Those guys are too noisy."

It sounds like how old you are.

Huang Meihua couldn't help laughing.

Xia Chunhua squeezed in next to Zhu Xiaomin and said with a smile: "In the village, when we have a banquet, we always stew potatoes, radishes and vermicelli, and we don't even add minced meat. Look at the youth camps, we always see big chunks of meat."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "Today's mutton soup is very rich, everyone should drink more."

Xia Chunhua nodded immediately: "Last year when you got married, we said that the mutton soup made by the educated youth camp was better than ours."

Huang Xiaojuan said with a smile: "There are six new female educated youths in this educated youth camp. I don't know how long it will take for them to have another meal."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "They are all young, so they probably won't be in a hurry."

You know, she and Miao Shiwen have been here for six or seven years, but they only talked about marriage last year.

Huang Meihua sighed: "How can they be young? The oldest of them is already 19 years old, right? All the girls in the village are mothers now."

How can it be the same?

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and didn't argue, but just said, "Director Huang, please be more attentive."

After chatting for a while, the topic naturally turned to the factory that was being planned and built. Xia Dongliang was most concerned: "Zhu Zhiqing, you said before that you would draft a detailed charter. Do you have it?"

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "I already have one. I'll work on it in detail in the next few days and then show it to Captain Xia."

For production matters, it is best to contact him directly.

Xia Dongliang nodded repeatedly.

Xia Chunhua was helpless: "Uncle Qi, today is Sister Shiwen and Xie Zhiqing's wedding, why are we talking about giving birth again?"

Xia Dongliang and Xia Laogen are brothers in the same family, ranking the seventh.

Xia Dongliang couldn't help laughing when she said that: "If I don't talk about this matter, I will only think about other tasks. If I don't do it right away, I will feel itchy like a cat scratching."

Zhu Xiaomin said with a smile: "In fact, at the beginning of construction, the main thing is to mobilize the labor force and build the factory as soon as possible, and then buy a few more machines."

Xia Dongliang immediately said, "If you need someone, just tell Zhu Zhiqing and I'll transfer someone over."

Zhu Xiaomin shook her head: "The scale of this factory is not comparable to the original base. The first brigade also has the task of planting trees. How can there be enough labor? Since this factory is open to the whole commune, naturally all the brigades have to contribute."

Xia Dongliang was surprised: "If all the teams are transferring people, then doesn't that mean other teams will also take up the work points of the cannery?"

Zhu Xiaomin laughed: "They work hard, so of course they have to take work points."

"Then..." Xia Dongliang thought, feeling a little painful.

Judging from the profits of the canning workshop this year, the performance of the cannery can already be anticipated, but using people from other brigades would dilute the interests of their own brigades.

However, Zhu Xiaomin had already said that the cannery served the entire commune, and it seemed unreasonable not to employ people from other communes.

After so many years of eating in the production team's big pot, Zhu Xiaomin also understood that it would be difficult for people to adapt to it all of a sudden, so she had to add: "Of course, we still have to focus on our first team."

Xia Dongliang was relieved and nodded repeatedly. He was already thinking about how to mobilize the strongest labor force in his team to build the factory as much as possible while completing the task of afforestation.

Zhu Xiaomin didn't know that these ideas, which were just mentioned in casual conversation, had spread throughout the entire team before the wedding was over.

The next day, as soon as she entered the brigade headquarters, Bai Guihua came over and said, "Sister Xiaomin, you said the brigade is short of labor? How much? Why don't you count us women?"

Zhu Xiaomin was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "It's not that we are short of a lot, it's that the bigger our production scale is, the more labor we need. Women will also be considered, but the early stage of construction still mainly depends on men. Besides, we still have the task of planting trees and taking care of crops, so women will not be idle."

Bai Guihua nodded and followed her into the office. She sat down on a chair and leaned on the back to think about something.

Zhu Xiaomin ignored her and looked over the regulations carefully, made some changes, and then rewrote them.

Fang Qing was detained at the brigade headquarters for two days before being released. She was criticized throughout the entire brigade, and her aura weakened a little, but the look she gave Zhu Xiaomin was still full of hatred, as if she was about to spit fire.

Zhu Xiaomin didn't care, but quietly told Yang Aijun, Song Zhian and others to pay more attention to Fang Qing and not let her cause any trouble again.

After spending the New Year at the educated youth camp, Lu Mingzheng started school soon, and after the fifth day of the New Year, Zhu Xiaomin decided to go back to the city with him.

The day before leaving, Miao Shiwen pushed the account book to Zhu Xiaomin and said, "This year, you, Xiaoya, and Qiaomei have more than half a year of work points. Here are the food and money we collected for you during the New Year. I converted their money into money or food coupons according to the original price and sent them over. This is yours."

This year, the net income generated by the base and the orchard tripled, but considering the cost of building the factory later, each person who achieved full work points received 150 yuan.

Zhu Xiaomin's work points were stopped from the moment she started to go through the formalities, so she had about eight months of full work points, which was about 100 yuan, and the grain could be converted into food coupons worth several hundred kilograms.

Zhu Xiaomin took the money, counted out 100 kilograms of food coupons, and pushed the rest back to her: "I eat in the company cafeteria, and the food coupons are issued every month. I keep some for emergencies. You keep these, so you don't have to worry about food in the future."

Miao Shiwen was helpless: "This winter, Aijun, Zhian and more than a dozen others went to run literacy classes. They had no food to eat, but they brought food back. There will be some left this year."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "Then bring back some meat during the holidays. It will be very hard to run a factory later. Don't harm your health. It won't be worth it."

Seeing that she was determined not to accept it, Miao Shiwen stopped insisting and took the food coupons.

Zhu Xiaomin only took some of the remaining tickets distributed according to work points, and kept most of them. As for the sheep offal, chicken and the like, Miao Shiwen knew that she would not take them all, so she did not ask. Instead, she packed them as well as possible and stuffed them into her bag.

The next day was the sixth day of the first lunar month. Although the Gregorian calendar fell on the fifth day, people in the county were closed and shops were closed during the first month of the year. Chen Xudong did not have to deliver eggs to the city. When Gu Mancang heard about it, he arranged for a tractor to take the two of them to the county town.

The educated youth were all sent to the threshing ground and were already asking Lu Mingzheng when he would be back from summer vacation.

After the spring plowing season is over and the factory construction begins, Zhu Xiaomin will definitely come back.

The two men said goodbye to everyone one by one, loaded the luggage onto the tractor, came back with three large bags, and took away three more large bags.

Chen Xudong followed the tractor and sent the two people to the long-distance bus station. He watched the long-distance bus drive away before going back.
