Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money

Chapter 319 Can I choose my own location in the countryside?

In early and mid-February, the whole city was swept by a craze for accumulating fertilizers and delivering them to rural areas.

A total of 560 million people participated in this activity, and more than 500 million dan of fertilizer were delivered; at the same time, the government also organized more than 1400 cadres to join the rural work team and go to various counties.

In order to promote Zhou Rong, Liao Bowen first let her participate in delivering fertilizer and then send her to the countryside to study.

Zhou Rong said that it was no problem to deliver fertilizer to the suburbs, but they had several children to take care of and it was not convenient for them to go to the countryside.

Liao Bowen smiled and said, "The position of deputy section chief of the personnel department is vacant, and I think you are fully capable of doing it.

The cadres of the unit have been sent to the countryside one after another. In order to win the support of the people, you should also go to the countryside to exercise yourself. Don't worry, I will transfer you back in half a year at most."

The previous deputy chief of the personnel department was reported during the anti-Y-leaning movement in the second half of last year. The position has been vacant ever since. Many people are eyeing this position, and the leaders of the bureau said they would make a decision on who to promote after investigating all aspects.

Zhou Rong didn't expect that this opportunity would fall to her.

Zhou Rong asked tentatively: "Can I choose the location of the village myself?"

Liao Bowen: "...Okay, where do you want to go?"

Zhou Rong: "Zhoujiawan Production Team, Hong'an Commune, Qingping County, my hometown."

Liao Bowen: "Okay, let's go here. I'll ask Secretary Chen to help you get all the documents for going to the countryside. After you deliver the fertilizer and hand over your work, go to Zhoujiawan as soon as possible."

Zhou Rong: "Okay."

Worried that there were no adults at home and that some ignorant people would bully his children, Zhou Rong asked his mother to come and stay with him for a while.

Zhou's father said it was boring for him to live alone in the meat processing factory, so he came along too.

Zhou's father had already bought a bicycle, and it was very convenient for him to ride to work, so everyone just let him do it.

Zhou Rong stocked up some rice, noodles, eggs, brown sugar, cottonseed oil, etc. at home, and secretly told Zhou's mother that he bought them from his friend on the black market and that the price was about the same as the market price. He asked Zhou's mother to mix them with miscellaneous grains and cook them for the children to prevent malnutrition.

When she heard that the price was not expensive, Zhou's mother breathed a sigh of relief and told Zhou Rong to go back home with peace of mind, and she would take good care of the children.

After delivering the fertilizer and handing over the work at hand, Zhou Rong returned to Zhoujiawan at the end of March.

Zhou Gui was also going to participate in this rural study, but because Shen Qingran had a cough, she was worried, so she negotiated with her leader and decided that if there was a chance next time, she would sign up again...

The person who was most happy when Zhou Rong returned to Zhoujiawan was Zhou Chuanyi.

There has been little rain this year, and some parts of the north have continued to suffer from severe drought, which has seriously affected the planting of crops.

Qingping County had only three rains from the end of last year to the beginning of spring, but the leap forward goals set by the organization for various places have not been reduced.

At every meeting, the branch secretaries and team leaders would compete with each other in bragging. Anyone who did not participate or did not brag well would be criticized by everyone, and they would be accused of not having advanced ideas, being too conservative, not wanting to contribute to the country, etc.

Falsely reporting production means high procurement.

Last year's floods and droughts meant that the villagers of Shengli Brigade could barely get enough to eat. If it weren't for the subsidies from the pig farms, chicken farms, vegetable bases, etc., the villagers would have died of hepatitis, edema and other diseases, just like those places with poor harvests.

Zhou Chuanyi didn't want to be accused, but he felt guilty about bragging unrealistically.

Zhou Rong’s return gave Zhou Chuanyi hope.

Through Zhou Rong's letter of introduction to the countryside, Zhou Chuanyi already knew that she had been transferred to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and was working under the director. This kind of position close to the leadership is the easiest to get promoted.

Zhou Rong's return to his hometown for training is probably to pave the way for promotion.

Being appreciated by the leader means that you have outstanding abilities. At least when it comes to speaking, you are definitely better than others.

Zhou Chuanyi decided that he would take advantage of the time when Zhou Rong was gaining experience in the countryside to learn the speaking skills of officials.

Zhou Chuanyi specially transferred Zhou Rong to his side to work as a clerk, and took Zhou Rong with him whenever there was a meeting.

If anyone dared to target him and he couldn't win the argument, he would signal Zhou Rong for help.

When it comes to professional matters, Zhou Rong never disappoints anyone.

When the big boss speaks and puts on his hat, anyone would be terrified.

With Zhou Rong's help, Zhou Chuanyi is not afraid of going anywhere.

Huang Anhe suffered two losses at the hands of Zhou Rong and didn't want to be accused of something, so now she and Zhou Chuanyi are avoiding each other...

Currently, only branch secretaries and team leaders receive salaries unless they are delegated from above. The rest only receive full work points, as well as various subsidies and benefits given by others when they are asked to do things.

The same is true for team leaders. They usually have to work in the fields, but they will get full work points no matter how much effort they put in. Or they can make a name for themselves and go to the commune or other production teams to learn something, where they don't have to work in the fields, and they are provided with meals and get full points.

Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Chuanjing had no salary, only full work points and subsidies.

In the past few years when the harvest was good, everyone came to Zhoujiawan to "learn" the experience of the demonstration base, and Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Chuanjing always gave them warm hospitality.

The harvests in the past two years have been unsatisfactory, and Zhoujiawan no longer accepts outsiders. Everyone insists on coming here to study, even without providing food.

In order to thank Zhou Rong for her contribution to the village, the village was responsible for providing her with food during her stay in Zhoujiawan.

Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Chuanjing were worried that she would not be able to get used to the wild vegetable porridge and sweet potatoes in the village, so they took turns taking her to the commune or production teams with decent harvests to "eat for free" in the name of studying.

Zhou Rong didn’t understand their intentions at first, but after eating two meals, she realized what was going on and told Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Chuanjing not to do so, saying that she had brought back rations.

Zhou Chuanyi said: "The food in your city is rationed, and you have three children to feed, so you should save as much food as possible.

Last time I heard you tell Uncle Yu's secretary that the commune was cracking down on speculation in private grain sales, and they often confiscate some game, eggs, and rice. We'll continue to go to the commune to 'learn' today, and maybe we can have a good meal."

Zhou Rong: “…”

Zhou Chuanjing: "Don't feel any psychological burden. Other places were hit by disasters, and most of the grain, vegetables, and livestock we collected in Zhoujiawan were requisitioned, leaving only a small amount of food for the team.

The pond you suggested we dig played a big role during the drought. Without that pond, our harvest would have dropped by at least 30%. You not only helped the village, but also helped those disaster-stricken areas.

Isn't it just going to the commune to have a meal? If you don't eat, others will. Haven't you seen that the commune cafeteria is crowded with people every day? "

Zhou Rong: "Okay, I'll follow your advice, uncles. We'll go to the commune today to 'learn' and better understand the new policies of the organization."

Zhou Chuanyi: "That's right. We have to keep in line with everyone else so that we won't be excluded."

Zhou Rong went to Zhoujiawan for training and lived in the old house of the Zhou family. Zhou Chuanguo, Zhou Chuantai, Zhou Chuanan, and some fellow villagers who were grateful for her help would often share some of the food they got in the mountains with her.

Zhou Rong didn't want it, but they insisted on giving it to him.

With the food she had stored in her space and no one to bother her at work, her life in Zhoujiawan was very comfortable...
