Chapter 630 Mujiatun Changes
After strolling in the back mountain for a while, Wang Tiedan went to his second brother's house.
I held my eldest niece in my arms for a while, left some milk powder, and then went to Mujiatun.
Mujiatun is even more lively than Dawangcun.
Under the leadership of Secretary Zhao, Mujiatun has started a side business in addition to fishing. It hatches eggs for surrounding villages and also runs its own chicken farm, which is quite prosperous.
It is spring now, so it is not convenient to fish, but we still need to make nets.
The main road, threshing ground, and lakeside were all filled with busy people chatting about all kinds of gossip and interesting things, making the place very lively.
Wang Tiedan started riding a tricycle and had to stop it at the entrance of the village.
I greeted my eldest sister and arrived at her house. I saw her mending the net in the yard with a big belly.
"Miss!"
"The third brother is here, come in, the gate is not locked."
The eldest sister wanted to get up, and Wang Tiedan hurried over.
"If you are not feeling well, don't get up. Where is my brother-in-law?"
"There's a meeting in the village!"
"Another meeting?"
"Yes, there's a big meeting every week and a small meeting every three days. What kind of spirit is this? And they also accept people with bad backgrounds to come here for reform. It has never stopped since the New Year." The eldest sister complained.
"Brother-in-law didn't join that committee, did he?"
"Why didn't he attend? Secretary Zhao is the director! It can't be done without the organization. The county is coming to inspect. This is a task! Your brother-in-law is a member of the working group. He has nothing to do all day. Hey, I don't even want to talk about him."
“I haven’t heard of any establishment in Dawang Village!”
Wang Tiedan asked curiously.
"Why hasn't it been established? It has been established a long time ago. Uncle San is just the nominal director of the Revolutionary Committee, but he doesn't often attend meetings. The commune is begging the village to turn a blind eye, and the higher-ups don't dare to come to inspect."
"You didn't tell me that!"
"What can I say? There are no outsiders in our village, and we are all relatives. No matter how much we rebel, we have to listen to the village chief. It's not like Mujiatun, there are many outsiders. After all, Secretary Zhao is also an outsider. If life hadn't been better in the past two years, it would have been a mess long ago."
"It's fine now. Big sister, you don't know that the city has been in chaos for a long time. It's much worse than the village."
Wang Tiedan heard that the elder sister was resentful and hurriedly comforted her.
"Don't be angry. It's a mess, so be it. It has nothing to do with us. Stop busying yourself. Pack up quickly and come back to the city with me. I'll go tell my brother-in-law."
"Okay~ Go ahead, I'll clean it up right away!"
Wang Tiedan did not delay and went straight to the village committee.
As soon as I arrived nearby, I saw a lot of people lying on the wall of the village committee courtyard watching the fun, and bursting into laughter from time to time.
Wang Tiedan took a closer look and almost laughed out loud.
A high platform was built in the courtyard of the village committee. Secretary Zhao was picking vegetable leaves off his body and shouting angrily at the people below the platform.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you throwing things at me? Just throw them away, but some people even want to throw eggs and steamed buns. Are you living a miserable life? And these vegetable leaves, I see a lot of them are rotten. How come you've learned to waste things now that you're living well at home, and have forgotten the time when you couldn't even eat a few years ago?"
After saying that, he directed the four people on the podium who were being criticized.
"Hurry up and pick up the good leaves. You can make a dish out of them."
"Alright, alright, today's criticism meeting is over. Let's get back to work. Let me make it clear. The nets must be repaired before June, as well as the shrimp and crab cages. If production is affected by then, don't blame me for not telling you in advance."
Everyone dispersed, leaving only Secretary Zhao and four people picking vegetable leaves on the stage.
Wang Tiedan greeted and walked in.
"Secretary Zhao."
"Tiedan is here, what a rare visitor."
When Secretary Zhao saw that it was Wang Tiedan, he hurriedly called him to go to the village committee.
"What's going on?"
Wang Tiedan pointed at the people on the stage and asked.
Secretary Zhao shook his head.
"Hey, it's the mission of the public agency. We have to take action every day. There's no other way but to go through the motions. These are four. There will be four more in the afternoon. They were all sent here for transformation after the Chinese New Year."
At this point, Secretary Zhao complained again in a low voice.
"Many people have warned us to take good care of the situation and not let anything happen. This has really delayed things."
Wang Tiedan was not surprised either.
During this period, those who could be sent to Mujiatun, a relatively wealthy village not far from the old city, for transformation were definitely not ordinary people.
"Then you have to take good care of him. It will be good for your career." Wang Tiedan said with a smile.
"Hey, what's the point of a career? I'll be content if I can retire safely in Mujiatun."
Wang Tiedan didn't give any further reminders on this matter.
"Where's my brother-in-law? I'm going to pick up my eldest sister to go to the city to give birth, and I want to take him with me."
"It should be over there in the incubator. Come on, I'll take you there."
Director Zhao turned around and pulled Wang Tiedan out again.
"Tiedan, you don't know that with the special feed you provided, the chicks and ducklings basically have no premature death. However, there are also things that cannot be controlled. The more chicks hatched, the more eggs will be produced.
People in the village are tired of eating fish, so many people have set their sights on raw eggs, and your brother-in-law is one of them."
"What's so delicious about raw eggs? Don't we raise chickens and pigs in our village?"
"You have to be willing to eat it!"
Secretary Zhao smiled.
While chatting and laughing, the two came to the incubation room, which was a room with windows and doors blocked tightly.
Wang Tiedan also saw his brother-in-law who was chatting in a low voice in the yard.
"Tiedan is here, go pick up your sister. I think it's about time." Brother-in-law Mu Diao quickly stood up and went out to the yard to greet him.
Keep quiet around the incubator.
"Yes, you can come too. Luohai and Nannan are both in the city." Wang Tiedan said.
"Wait a couple of days, when I'm done with the work in the village, I'll go over there."
"Okay, go quickly. Nothing is more important than your wife giving birth to a child. The village does not lack a laborer like you." Secretary Zhao said.
"Go to the village committee later to get a letter of introduction."
"Okay, thank you Secretary Zhao."
Wang Tiedan didn't say anything and went into the incubation room to take a look at the incubation situation.
Several rows of old hens sat quietly in their nests, making clucking sounds from time to time.
There are no electric blankets, let alone electricity, and the incubation method is quite traditional.
After visiting the incubation room, Wang Tiedan went to the lakeside accompanied by Director Zhao.
A large black mudflat is covered with yellow balls. Only when you get closer can you see clearly that these yellow balls are chicks and ducklings foraging for fish eggs and insect eggs.
There were a few villagers guarding around, and they were quite serious.
"Before, apart from fishing, I never thought about setting up a chicken and duck farm. People were hungry, so how could we get food to feed the chickens and ducks? Now, the villagers are more motivated, and we will definitely be able to do it this time. Tiedan, come to think of it, I have to thank you!"
Secretary Zhao said with emotion.
Wang Tiedan waved his hand.
"It's because of your good leadership. If it weren't for you, Mujiatun wouldn't have become the richest village around."
"We live by the water. We have the advantage of the location, but my contribution is not that great."
"Then we'll compliment each other."
"Haha, indeed. We are one family and should keep separate opinions. Tiedan, half of this chicken farm will be handed over to the commune. I can't do anything about it. But for the other half, you decide who gets the share. I will never argue with you."
"No, no, I just need to complete the factory's purchasing task. You know me well. I don't have any ambitions!"
When Secretary Zhao heard what Wang Tiedan said, his expression suddenly became very serious.
"Tiedan, I know you are a capable person, and I also know you want to keep a low profile, but you also have to know that a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. It is better to have power than to have no power, right?"
