Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

With the help of Technician Feng, the Dongsheng Brigade quickly determined the location of the fish pond.

Send Technician Feng back to the brigade.

Wang Jingui and Accountant Zhao had been busy all day. Although they were very tired, they were still very excited.

"I say, why don't we go to Li Youcai's house before it gets dark and tell him about this. The location of the fish pond has been determined, and he has to come up with the start-up capital for digging the fish pond." Wang Jingui said, pulling Accountant Zhao.

"Why don't we go early tomorrow? We just decided on something during the day, and then go to ask for money at night. Wouldn't it seem like we're too impatient?" Accountant Zhao hesitated.

If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.

Nothing can be done without money.

Wang Jingui now wishes he could start work right away, lest anything unexpected happen later.

"He is so busy and not seen during the day. We can only block him in the morning and evening. I think we should go now. The sooner we can finish our talk, the better. He is not the kind of person who likes to pick fights." Wang Jingui insisted on going to Li Youcai's house.

"Then it's up to you."

Neither of them went back home or to the brigade headquarters. Instead, they took the manuscript drawn by Technician Feng and went to Li Youcai's house.

Inside the house, Li Youcai's family had just finished dinner, and Chu Xinyan was picking up the dishes. Wang Jingui and Accountant Zhao shouted and asked, then opened the door and walked in.

As soon as they entered the door, they smelled the aroma of meat. They were already hungry, and now the aroma made their mouths water.

"Secretary Wang, Accountant Zhao, you are here. Please take a seat."

"I heard you invited an expert from the county. How is it?"

Li Youcai did not go to work today. While strolling in the brigade, he heard from some members that the branch secretary had invited a fish farming expert to go to the creek to take a look.

"We are here for this matter. This is a blueprint drawn by expert Feng from the Fisheries Bureau after he inspected the river. Take a look." Wang Jingui said, and took out the manuscript drawn by Feng Yue and handed it to Li Youcai.

Although the drawing is a bit rough, the position and general meaning can be seen.

Wang Jingui continued, "Expert Feng also took some water from the creek and said he would take it back for testing."

Li Youcai returned the manuscript to Wang Jingui.

The water in the stream is spring water flowing down from the mountains. It can even support forest frogs and crayfish, so raising carp is naturally no problem.

Li Youcai doesn’t care whether the test is done or not.

"Have you decided when to start digging?" Li Youcai asked.

Wang Jingui grinned and said, "We are here for this matter, the start-up capital for digging a fish pond..."

Before Wang Jingui could finish his words, Li Youcai had already understood the purpose of these two people.

"I understand. Wait a moment."

Li Youcai stood up and took his briefcase from the TV table. Then, in front of Wang Jingui and Accountant Zhao, he took out four stacks of Great Unity notes tied with bundles of paper money.

Li Youcai opened a stack of money and counted the money with his index finger and thumb.

Swish Swish...

Looking at the money on the kang table, Wang Jingui and Accountant Zhao looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

As leaders of the brigade, they had seen so much money before, but they had never seen an individual come up with so much money.

Li Youcai quickly pointed out fifty Great Unity notes, then took out another stack and put them together.

"This is 1500 yuan. It's my first year's contract fee for the back mountain." Li Youcai handed the money to Accountant Zhao: "Accountant Zhao, don't forget to write me a receipt."

Li Youcai then picked up the two remaining stacks of money on the table and handed them to Wang Jingui. "Uncle Wang, these two thousand yuan are the start-up capital I prepared in advance for digging the pond. Now I'm giving it to you. You can handle the details. Please write me a receipt. It will be included in the cost in the future. Just pay me back after you sell the fish."

Li Youcai also took out 2000 yuan as start-up capital as per his promise.

"Okay! Don't worry, how we spend this money will be recorded in the account and announced to the whole team. There will be no difference in any amount." Wang Jingui took the two stacks of banknotes in his hands, feeling the heavy weight, and his heart was filled with excitement.

This is two thousand yuan!

I originally thought that Li Youcai would take a few days to raise the money, but I didn't expect him to take it out so easily.

What a rich man!

Li Youcai smiled when he heard that.

Since he had taken out the money, he naturally didn't think of asking Wang Jingui to make a list for him. That would only make him hated and would not change anything.

If Wang Jingui really wanted to embezzle the money, he had many ways to do it. With the help of Accountant Zhao, any account would be balanced.

Instead of wasting energy, it is better to do it in a grand manner.

"If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to do this."

"Uncle Wang, Accountant Zhao, you know I'm busy with work, so digging the pond is still up to you. I can only help out in the background."

"I understand. How can I ask you to pay for it and do the work at the same time? You, the Li family, don't have to worry about digging the fish pond. I guarantee that no one will say a word." Wang Jingui said readily.

With the money, Wang Jingui and Accountant Zhao returned to the brigade headquarters satisfied.

Accountant Zhao locked all the money in the finance office.

"Don't touch the 1,500 yuan that covers the mountain yet. Use it later when you have figured out a use for it."

"The two thousand yuan can be used to dig the pond. Keep a good account of it." Wang Jingui instructed Accountant Zhao.

"Okay." Accountant Zhao locked the cabinet door and responded.

"Let's go to the county's agricultural machinery cooperative tomorrow and rent two... no, four bulldozers." With the money, Wang Jingui was able to indulge himself in a rare extravagance.

"We also need to quickly get the red bricks, cement, and steel bars needed to build the waterway, as well as the two lock gates. We need to finish building this fish pond as quickly as possible."

Wang Jingui counted on his fingers.

After being the brigade secretary for so many years, he can finally be generous for a while and make some noise.

The next day, Wang Jingui and Accountant Zhao went to the county town.

Two bulldozers were rented and a large amount of red bricks, cement and steel bars were purchased to build the two gates that Technician Feng mentioned.

The production team leaders in the brigade called out names one by one and mobilized all the strong laborers from every household to build the dam.

Against this background, the first fish pond in the history of Dongsheng Brigade began to be dug in a vigorous manner.

The work of building dams is much more tiring than farming, but at the construction site, no one complains about being tired. Instead, everyone has a constant smile on their face.

Everyone knows that this fish pond was dug for them. They only have to endure the hardship this time, and they will get a share of the money in the future.

On the other hand, Wang Qiang finally got some news from the supply and marketing company where he went every day.

The product quality inspection report of Chunfeng Bakery has finally come out. After testing by the Quality Inspection Department, all 23 products submitted by Chunfeng Bakery have passed the inspection.

This also means that their products fully meet the conditions for being sold on the shelves of supply and marketing cooperatives.

"Brother Cai, the negotiation for listing the product is scheduled for 10 o'clock the day after tomorrow morning. This time, Chief Guo will talk to us. After we pass this hurdle, our products can be put on the shelves for sale in the supply and marketing cooperative." Wang Qiang reported to Li Youcai.

"Chief Guo..." Li Youcai remembered the straight figure.
