Chapter 225 The Team's Decision
Captain Jiang Zhong quickly sent the children to call for help.
Party Secretary Jiang Dongliang.
Jiang Debang, accountant of the production brigade.
Jiang Xue, the custodian of the production brigade.
The militia company is located along the Yangtze River and Qi Road.
Jiang Yanxia, the women's director of the production brigade.
Captains of each production team.
Half an hour later, they all arrived.
The captain conveyed the news that Jiang Wen said.
The appeal of a tractor is too great.
3000 yuan.
All the village cadres want it.
The question is, where does the money come from?
There is no money in the brigade account.
Except for the reserved 200, the rest has been distributed to the members.
Jiang Dongliang made up his mind. He took a puff of his pipe, glanced at everyone including Jiang Wen, and said, "Let's hold a meeting of all members and have the children go and inform them. It wasn't easy for us to get this news. Maybe other brigades have already heard the news. Whoever is ahead will get it. We saw other people's tractors when we were paying the grain tax. They pulled so much at a time. They raised a cloud of yellow dust when they passed by us. Even our horses can't keep up with their speed."
The accountant knew each family's situation best. "There are 117 households in our village, big and small. Every big family has at least a dozen small families under it. We've said it before: those who have money contribute money, and those who have strength contribute strength. When the brigade becomes prosperous, you can return the money."
Jiang Xue felt that he was wrong as he spoke. "Didn't we divide the money before? It should not be spent yet. It would be difficult to ask for it later... After the money was divided, our family only received 103. My grandparents don't work, and the remaining four uncles and brothers and my family each have at least five laborers. After a year, so many people only get this little money."
The group was silent, and then Jiang Wen spoke up. "You all know what happened in my family. My physical fitness isn't up to par, and I can't keep up with the amount of training they're doing. Now I've traded my eldest brother's job with someone else, and my monthly salary is still 32.5. Together with my wife, it's 65."
"I got this news today when I went to buy charcoal this afternoon. My brother's classmate revealed it to me. This is my second time there. They're selling well there. Now I have to feed so many people, and I don't have much money."
"When I first received the pension, my house was robbed. I haven't received any explanation yet. You guys have been to my house too. I only just repaired the yard and house. I've lived here for over 20 years, so I have to do some repairs."
"Winter is coming soon. I can only do my best. After we buy charcoal on the 19th, I'll see how much I have left. I can borrow a month or two's salary from a neighbor. I'll give 200. Just the best I can."
"There's more than just our family working in our brigade. Let's have everyone who's working contribute a portion first. It won't be a big deal. But it's different for the members. Some are about to have children. Some are getting married. It's a huge expense anyway."
"Besides, I don't necessarily have to pay it back. I can accept exchanging it for rice, noodles, beans, whatever. If one year isn't enough, two years is. If two years isn't enough, three years is. What matters now is whether we can raise the money first."
"Everyone, please work together and get this quota fixed quickly. Otherwise, we'll just have to wait. The tractor is convenient. It's not just convenient for one person. It's convenient for all members. Then, for example, if we set a date for everyone to go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the city to buy things, we can get as many people as we want at once."
"You have a point. Will your wife make trouble with you when you go back? Don't let your new wife refuse to live with you because of this." Jiang Yanxia considered Gu Lixia's feelings first.
Jiang Wen was very sure that Gu Lixia didn't care about these things. "No, she's a generous person. She basically doesn't worry about these things. Her job is more brain-intensive."
"Xiu'er is basically in charge of buying things for the family. There's nothing big to buy. It's getting late, so I'll go back first. You guys discuss it, and if you have any news, just come up and let us know. I'm sure there's no problem." After Jiang Wen finished speaking, he pushed his bicycle away.
Jiang Wen left and the group continued to discuss.
"What the second kid said is a good idea. We cadres all get paid. Although it's not much. Everyone pays last year's salary."
"There are six of us going out to serve in the army. These six plus the second kid make 1400. The six of us make 600. There's no quota for the members; it's all voluntary. It should work."
Jiang Dongliang saw the group of people gathered outside and said, "Let's go. Almost everyone has arrived. The men who are the heads of each household should go forward. Children, everyone else should go back."
After making sure there were only 123 people left, the group walked to the village wheat field.
Everyone stood back to back.
Circle after circle.
"Everyone, be quiet. This is what happened. Today, the second kid from Fourth Uncle's family just came back. Some people may have seen it."
"I got some great news. The city's tractor factory has 15 tractors available, and each tractor costs 3000."
"The second son will contribute 200 yuan, and everyone else who has a soldier in their family will contribute 200 yuan. This 200 yuan is for the young man who's in the army. It's entirely up to you how much your family contributes."
"A few of us cadres will each contribute 100, so we need the members to contribute, a total of 1000. This is a big deal, so we don't need to express our opinions now. Let's go back and discuss it."
"Uncle Liang, will our village have a tractor too?"
"Then, after you get married, you can drive a tractor instead of leading an old ox."
Jiang Dongliang concluded, "Each family will contribute 10 yuan, and the excess will be refunded and the deficit will be supplemented. Keep it a secret. Whoever leaks the information and lets other teams get ahead will be the sinner of our entire village. Go back and get the money, then gather at my house. Put it in the account book, and we'll go find the family overnight. Everyone go back."
Secretary Jiang Dongliang went home and asked his wife to cook and steam sweet potatoes.
All the family members were sent out and stood outside the yard to keep watch.
In 40 minutes, 1170 was recorded neatly in the account book, followed by 6 village cadres and 6 military families.
Ate 2 sweet potatoes.
There were a total of four bicycles in Jiangjia Village. The branch secretary, team leader, accountant, militia company commander, and two other militia trainers set off with money and flashlights.
After entering the west city gate, I felt relieved.
But there's no slowing down either.
Quickly rush to the Jiang family.
……
Jiang Wen went home, drank some mung bean porridge first, and then said that his family would pay 200 yuan.
Gu Lixia didn't say anything. Jiang Xiu disagreed a little, thinking it was a bit too much.
Wash up and pen the geese.
Jiang Wen went out to close the gate and was about to go into the house when he heard a knock on the door.
When the door opened, six people from Jiangjia Village were standing outside the yard.
Quickly get out of the way.
A group of people came in quietly.
