There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Under the moonlight on a summer night, one can vaguely see the general conditions of Zhangjia Village’s courtyards, whether far or near, with bluestone walls, but mostly bamboo fences.

With such conditions, Zhangjia Village's production team is already enviable nearby, and people with children also like to be married to their village.

But Zhang Guoqing couldn't forget that most of the children in the village were naked and barefoot, looking enviously at his son's pair of little sandals.

Poor, so poor!

Except in snowy days, the villagers would like to let the children bare their buttocks all year round. Can a parent have the heart to leave their children naked? They are all poor.

If each household has an extra income, it may be able to change the fate of the whole village. Eat well and dress warmly, so I naturally want the children not to open their eyes and go blind.

Only when the next generation walks out of Zhangjiacun and sets foot on campus to enrich themselves can Zhangjiacun change the fate of hunting and farming for generations.

Third Grandpa, do you always sleep?

Standing at the door of the old captain's house, Zhang Guoqing patted the door and greeted him loudly, which made the Orion's house next door bark wildly.

If this was the previous year, it would not take long for the sound of dogs barking in the village to ebb and flow. That is to say, there has been a shortage of food in the past few years, and even dogs cannot be afforded. It was this dog that saved the life of the old Orion, and was left behind by Nian En's family.

Wait, I'll open the door right now.

After a while, the old captain dragged his shoes out of the yard, opened the gate, and revealed that tired and vicissitudes of face.

Third Grandpa, did I wake you up?

The old captain looked behind him, saw that he was alone, and shook his head, Not yet, just thinking about the work in the team. I have something to say.

Zhang Guoqing followed him into the east room, passed by the outer room, the third grandma and her eldest daughter-in-law were still mending clothes, they were indeed not asleep, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

You pour the water yourself. Tell me, what made you come here in the middle of the night?

It was getting late, and Zhang Guoqing didn't say a few words of pleasantries, but straight to the point, he talked about his thoughts on setting up a food factory in the village. Whether this method can take shape or not depends on the well-informed old man in front of him.

The old captain smiled as he listened, I really have this idea. Seeing that the hunting road is cut off, our village can't survive without enough food and starvation just by relying on the little harvest in the field.

Zhang Guoqing nodded.

In the last meeting, I mentioned this to the township. They can approve what they want, but we have to figure out everything by ourselves. We have to pay a lot of what should be paid to the township every year. I put this matter in my heart. Speaking to outsiders.

This account is not easy to calculate. To open a factory, the glass bottles and labor costs will cost a lot first, and part of the profits must be handed over to the village. After such a toss, it is not much different from selling to the buying station ourselves.

Zhang Guoqing heard the meaning of his words, after all, he still didn't want to make money for the village. That's right, I'm afraid of paying public food and food. Who knows if the profits turned in will grow older every year?

The old captain looked at Zhang Guoqing, who was bowing his head and thinking, and smiled knowingly, his eyes flashed, and then said: Actually, the best way is not to set up any factory. Every year, we process it in the ancestral hall. It is calculated according to work points, and then in the name of the production team. After the goods are sold and the money is distributed, no one can take advantage of the village.

Your method is not bad. How could Zhang Guoqing not understand what the old captain meant. This is a purely private workshop with no prospects for development, but it is suitable for conservative villagers today.

It's difficult. You don't know. If there is no support from the township, based on the proof of the production team, those factories that produce glass bottles will look down on our team. There is also the most critical point. Without the support of the township, no technician is willing Come and guide our team.

Zhang Guoqing laughed. Is this a self-inflicted trap? Maybe I didn't come to the door tonight, and the other party will have a good chat with me in the past two days.

The old captain also laughed happily. He said that this kid is very smart. But apart from this kid, no one in the village can afford it.

How about it? Help third grandpa find a relationship?

Since Zhang Guoqing came here, he never thought of refusing: Okay. I will go to the city to find someone tomorrow morning. The glass bottle is not a big problem. I have a classmate who works as an accountant. It can give me some face. However, the technician, three Grandpa, do you think it would be better to find a retired old man from a food factory?

The old captain was overjoyed when he heard the words, and patted the kang table, You can do whatever you say.

This technician, I really don't know this person. I'm looking for a relationship introduction. If he can't get rid of his face, it doesn't matter if he doesn't like it in his heart.

The old captain nodded slightly, waiting for the next sentence. For this kid to say this, there must be a suitable candidate.

It's definitely better to find my father than me! My father has an old man named Mo. This old man is a master chef who retired from a food factory in the provincial capital. He wanders around the county all day long. Let him come and play, he will be happy.

The old captain smiled and pointed at him, You bad boy!

Zhang Guoqing smiled, Old man Mo is a good person. His sons and daughters are all in the provincial capital, but the youngest son is in the county, and he is tired of staying in the city. It just so happens that my yard is empty. How long can the two of them come to live? sky.

My father and a few old friends are very friendly, and it happens that those old men and old ladies come over to teach some tricks when they are free. You discuss this matter with my father, he is eager to be busy.

The old captain joked: Aren't you afraid that your father will know how to beat you?

My father can't stay idle. Zhang Guoqing understood Zhang's father's feelings for the people of Zhangjiacun better than anyone else. Otherwise, there would be no busy farming and they would come back to help.

Sometimes it is not rich and leisure that is happiness. It will make Father Zhang feel that he still has the ability to do something for the villagers, and he will probably be happier.

And with these old men and women, parents will not feel lonely without being accompanied by them in their later years. If I go to visit these families in the city again, they should give me some face.

Your father has always been warm and kind.

Seeing that the discussion was over, Zhang Guoqing stood up and said goodbye: Third Grandpa, then I will discuss the matter of the glass bottle tomorrow, and we will talk about the rest at that time. You should rest first.

Okay, don't worry about this matter, you deal with your own affairs first.

Zhang Guoqing declined his old man to see him off. Passing by the old home on the way home, he hesitated and thought about it, but he still didn't go in and wake his father up. It won't be long before the farming is busy, and the harvest in the field is the first priority, and everything has to be discussed later. There is no need to worry about contacting Old Man Mo.

After returning home, Zhou Jiao still kept the lights on, waiting for him to come back.

Zhang Guoqing told her in detail about the conversation with the old captain tonight, and the husband and wife agreed on their opinions, and after a few discussions, they put it down. Since the old captain has his own plans, that would be great. The two of them can provide convenience, and they will never stand idly by.
