Traveling through the 60s, living a life of wealth and prosperity

Chapter 114: Red and Expert
Wang Yuanchao walked into the village and saw the team leader standing at the gate of Secretary Zeng's house from afar. He took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes, handed him a cigarette, and greeted him warmly:
"Hey, Captain, I heard that our Red Flag Brigade will start the autumn harvest tomorrow?"

The captain took the cigarette, took out a match, lit it, took a puff and said:

"Yes, the weather is getting colder. If we don't harvest the crops soon, the crops will go bad in the fields."

“How’s the harvest this year?”

The captain smiled proudly and said:

"We are in the Hongqi Brigade. We have good water and good land. This year we have a bumper harvest. After paying the public grain tax, there will definitely be enough for everyone to eat."

"Haha, that's good. We serve the land all year round just for this bite of food."

The captain nodded, agreeing with what he said, and suddenly remembered something and said:

"By the way, these days, it is the peak season for poultry breeding bases to sell off their livestock, so you don't have to go to work to harvest them.

Whether our Red Flag Brigade can have a good New Year this year depends mainly on you."

Wang Yuanchao nodded and said:
"I'm here at the poultry breeding base, captain, just rest assured.

Now our farm has sold more than 500 pigs, more than 500 sheep, and more than 2000 chickens, ducks, and geese.
We have already received more than 10 yuan back from our Red Flag Brigade.
Once all the poultry in the farm is sold out, everyone will have a good year.

Oh, by the way, Captain, we don’t need to hand in tasks for the output of our poultry breeding base, right?”

The captain took a puff of his cigarette, opened his mouth and smiled, his wrinkled face looked kind.

"The output of the poultry breeding base does not need to be handed in. The annual quota pigs are raised by the villagers at home.

The output of the poultry breeding base is considered a sideline business in the village, and our Hongqi Brigade can retain all of it.

When the grain is distributed, dividends will be given to all the villagers in the Red Flag Brigade."

Wang Yuanchao nodded and said with a smile:
"This year, our poultry breeding base has seen benefits, and everyone's enthusiasm will definitely be higher. Then we may want to expand the breeding."

The captain nodded affirmatively and said:

"We will definitely expand the breeding business. This year, the harvest from our poultry breeding base is not worse than the grain production of the brigade.

Wang Zhiqing, all of us in the Red Flag Brigade should thank you.

Without you, we wouldn't have such a good life. "

Wang Yuanchao quickly said modestly:

"Captain, you are exaggerating.

I have an idea. If it weren't for you village cadres who stood out from the crowd and took the initiative to promote this matter,

I can't accomplish anything with just my mouth.
Our Hongqi Brigade Poultry Breeding Base has achieved such success today.

That was all the result of hard work and dedication of the village cadres and all the villagers of the Red Flag Brigade. It has nothing to do with me personally.”

The captain patted Wang Yuanchao on the shoulder and laughed heartily:
"You, you really don't act like a youngster. How can a youngster be as humble as you?

But there is one thing I need to tell you."

Wang Yuanchao looked at the captain curiously and asked:

"Captain, what's the matter?"

"During the autumn harvest, you are responsible for the poultry breeding base, so it is understandable that you don't go to work in the fields.

But your wife and mother-in-law have to go to the autumn harvest." Wang Yuanchao had actually been prepared in his heart, but he still asked with hope.
"Captain, there are so many people in the team, and we can handle these two old ladies, right? Is there nothing else you can do?"

The captain took a puff of his cigarette, shook his head, and said:
"In spring ploughing and autumn harvest, except for the young and the old, everyone else in the Red Flag Brigade must participate. This is a tradition and a rule that no one can break.

At most I can assign them a slightly easier task, but they must participate.”

Wang Yuanchao sighed and said:
"Okay, Captain, thank you for your help. I will inform them when I get back."

"Okay, let's go in too. Today we are entertaining comrades from the Municipal Statistics Bureau. They are here to help our Red Flag Brigade with the autumn harvest."

Wang Yuanchao knew that government officials of that era had to go to the countryside to help farmers with their work during the double harvest season and autumn harvest.

I just didn't expect that this time it was someone from the Municipal Statistics Bureau.
"Captain, I remember that the cadres who went to the countryside to help farmers were generally from the commune or county, right?
Are the agricultural assistance cadres of our Red Flag Brigade of such high caliber? "

The captain shook his head and smiled bitterly:

“Before, the conditions in our Hongqi Brigade were better than those in the surrounding villages and towns, but at most only some cadres from the county departments came here.

Who knows why the city government would come to help farmers this year?"

Wang Yuanchao took a puff of his cigarette and said meaningfully:

"It seems that our Red Flag Brigade's poultry breeding base is really famous in the provincial capital, hehe."

When the captain heard this, he immediately reacted and laughed:
"Who cares? We can just hand it all over to the Provincial Electric Machinery Factory. They own the stuff anyway, so they will take care of the trouble."

Wang Yuanchao shook his head speechlessly and followed the team leader to Secretary Zeng's home.

"Come on, let me introduce you to Director Wang from our Municipal Bureau of Statistics.

This is Section Chief Liu, Deputy Section Chief Qian, and several clerks from our Statistics Bureau.

Today, we are mainly welcoming all the comrades from the Statistics Bureau. We are very grateful to the comrades from the Statistics Bureau for coming to our Hongqi Brigade to help the farmers and the autumn harvest of our Hongqi Brigade.

Director Wang, Section Chief Liu, Deputy Section Chief Qian, the leader of our Red Flag Brigade, is an expert in grain production.
He led our Red Flag Brigade to win advanced awards for many consecutive years.

This is Comrade Wang Yuanchao, an educated youth from Hunan Province who came to our Red Flag Brigade to work in the countryside.
At the same time, Wang Zhiqing is also the manager of the poultry breeding base of our Hongqi Brigade.

This year, under the leadership of Wang Zhiqing, our Red Flag Brigade established a poultry breeding base, and led our Red Flag Brigade to fight a good turnaround battle. "

Director Wang laughed and said:

"Old Party Secretary, you are too modest. Under your leadership, our Red Flag Brigade is well-known throughout the black market.

As for Comrade Wang Zhiqing, the country has always emphasized that intellectuals must integrate with the poor and lower-middle peasants and use their knowledge to help the country develop.

Wang Zhiqing did a very good job in this regard.
Not only does he possess the excellent quality of hard work and perseverance, he is also able to practice what he preaches, sign up to go to the countryside to build a new socialist countryside, and help the countryside to make discoveries.

Good, very good, very good comrade."

After listening to this, Secretary Zeng deliberately added:

"Wang Zhiqing not only gave up the comfortable life in the city and signed up to go to the countryside as an educated youth, but he was also a good comrade who was brave in dedication and practice, and he was also the orphan of a martyr."

"Wang Zhiqing is truly amazing, he is both red and expert.

Our country's development needs young people like this."
