Chapter 142 Another Idea
Of course, there's still time.
After learning the other party's true colors, Lu Shufen didn't waste any time. After scolding Qin Fengmao enough, she hurriedly took the father and daughter home.
Without considering anything else, he went home, called Qin Yinghua, and stormed into the Qin family home to settle accounts with Qin Dajiang.
After settling the accounts, they went to the Zhou family's house under the cover of darkness.
The final result was predictable: the engagement was called off. The Zhou family didn't dare say anything outside, only that neither side was quite satisfied, so they called off the engagement.
Only after receiving this news did Lu Yuanqing feel relieved.
However, she soon learned that Lu Shufen had asked the matchmaker to continue arranging blind dates for Qin Yingfeng.
In response, Lu Yuanqing stated that he could only describe it with the following six points!
However, he didn't have time to worry about all that.
Even though he felt that Lu Shufen and Qin Fengmao seemed to be heading down an inevitable wrong path, he couldn't say anything.
Phrases like "it's too young, there's no rush" are not suitable for use nowadays.
Having had this experience, Qin Yingfeng will likely be less hesitant to speak her mind next time, and things will be resolved sooner rather than later.
Instead of worrying about other things, we should focus on this year's autumn harvest.
Lu Yuanqing, who was always taken along by the team leader in everything he did, said he was extremely busy.
The village's pig farms have been expanding day by day, but now there is absolutely no need to worry about selling them.
The commune's pig farm and the county's pig farm were both eyeing the pig farm in their village, and every year they would compete to get the big fat pigs raised there.
It has to be said that after two years of pig farming, with two cycles a year, the villagers have all benefited from the dividends brought by pig farming.
Life is going well, and I look much better.
In response, Lu Yuanqing reiterated his already well-founded suggestion.
"What?" Zhao Zhongcai picked at his ear. "What did you say? You said you want to build a bamboo ware factory in the village?"
A factory! A factory in the village! What an amazing suggestion! Zhao Zhongcai asked several times, and each time Lu Yuanqing responded with a smile and a nod.
"Uncle Zhao, don't be nervous, I'll tell you what I heard!" Lu Yuanqing didn't expect such a big reaction from him.
After all, with a pig farm as a prerequisite, Zhao Zhongcai's ability to accept things should have improved by now!
However, it now seems that he overestimated him.
No matter how things change, this is still the same – they can't accept any suggestions.
However, having had two experiences, Lu Yuanqing was not nervous at all. Instead, he smiled and explained, "It's not that we have to build a big factory, like the kind in the county where villagers wear uniforms and work at the same time. Obviously, that's impossible. Our primary concern as farmers is still the grain from the fields."
Zhao Zhongcai glanced at him sideways, "It's good that you remember this!"
Zhao Zhongcai was worried that Lu Yuanqing would become complacent because of the village's success with the pig farm and forget that as farmers, what they cared about most was still food!
Lu Yuanqing pursed his lips and said, "How could I forget? But Uncle Zhao, we promised back then that we would make sure all the villagers lived a good life..."
Zhao Zhongcai was speechless when he saw his posture.
Every time he tried to persuade him, it was the same. He sadly realized that it was all too familiar.
So Zhao Zhongcai interrupted him, sighed, and said, "Just tell me your thoughts on this bamboo ware factory!" He really didn't want to hear a bunch of nonsense.
The result is the same anyway; he will be inexplicably persuaded!
Lu Yuanqing smiled, sat up straight, and said, "Opening a factory is no simple matter. Even though the villagers have received money from pig farming in the past two years, and the production team has some surplus funds, this amount of money is still not enough to cover the expenses of building a factory!"
"So, we can take it slow!"
"How can we take it slowly?" Zhao Zhongcai asked!
Lu Yuanqing: "We can start with piecework. I've looked into it, and the easiest bamboo weaving to do right now is bamboo baskets and bread bowls, which are things that villagers can make in their spare time!"
"Bread bowl?" Zhao Zhongcai had never heard of such a term before and asked in confusion.
“Hmm!” Lu Yuanqing nodded. “Bread is a food that foreigners like to eat. The commune supply and marketing cooperative sells that kind of bread. It smells very good. The bread bowl is for holding that kind of bread. It’s like a big bowl.”
"These two things are not complicated. Many people in the village can make them, and even those who don't know how are very easy to learn."
"We won't need to build a factory then. We'll just distribute the bamboo, let the villagers take it home, and after they've finished making the bamboo products, we'll hand them over to the team for safekeeping. Then we'll be responsible for selling them. Once we've made some money, we can try building a factory, expanding and strengthening our business, and even making more bamboo weaving products!"
"Uncle Zhao, what do you think?" Lu Yuanqing asked, blinking his big eyes!
Zhao Zhongcai: "If we calculate it by piecework, how much is a bamboo basket? And how much is a bread bowl? What if the villagers think this is profitable and stop valuing their work in the fields?"
Zhao Zhongcai listed several problems that might be encountered!
Lu Yuanqing smiled faintly, "We'll deal with these as they come. The question now is, Uncle Zhao, what do you think of this suggestion?"
"The autumn harvest is about to begin. After the harvest, in the dead of winter, there won't be much work to do in the fields. That will be the time when the villagers can earn some money!"
“I know your idea is good. The villagers will be able to earn money during their rest time, so I’m sure they will be eager to agree!” Zhao Zhongcai’s words were not empty talk.
Yang's success in pig farming is a guarantee.
With this guarantee, even if Lu Yuanqing comes up with some money-making idea now, the majority of the more than two hundred households in the village will definitely agree.
The grain harvest in Shihua Village has been quite good in recent years.
According to the established rules in the village, people under the age of twenty are generally not allowed to earn full work points. Lu Yuanbo, for example, has always earned eight points.
In many families in the village, the majority of people receive three or four points, or even five or six points.
The Lu family is a perfect example; apart from Lu Yuanqing, none of them can get full work points.
However, if the bamboo ware factory opens, these teenagers can learn to weave bamboo baskets and bread bowls. These are easy to learn, and once they learn, they can earn money.
With more money at home, it's easier to buy things whenever we want. More importantly, with money, we won't be stingy with tuition fees anymore, which will mean more children in the village can go to school, and more opportunities for girls to attend school!
As the saying goes, money can solve most problems!
Lu Yuanqing's eloquence goes without saying.
After listening to him recount all the benefits of the bamboo ware factory, Zhao Zhongcai finally didn't object. He simply said, "You first come up with a set of rules. If the team has no objections at the meeting, you can come with me to the commune to talk to the leaders!"
Lu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Okay!"
