Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

The brigade was going to set up a tofu factory and recruit workers, and the news spread throughout the brigade like a plague.

Whether they were members of the brigade or educated youth at the educated youth center, they all tried their best to get a job as workers in this factory.

No matter how hard and tiring working in a factory is, can it be as hard and tiring as working on the job?

What's more, work points are given as is.

Nian Lin and Li Xiu also knew about this.

However, they knew about it earlier than most of the other members of the brigade. Tan Yuan had told them everything on the day the decision was made.

Nianlin had no interest in working in a tofu factory. In her opinion, there was no essential difference between working in a tofu factory and working in the brigade.

But Li Xiu doesn't think so. She wants to work in a factory. Now the factory has just started, and it may not be very different from working as a worker. But what if it is successful in the future?

That can't be any worse than working in the fields and earning work points.

She worked hard and secretly decided that she must become this worker.

"Well, you're right to think so. Right now, as we're just starting out, the factory pays employees based on work points. But when the factory makes money in the future, we'll definitely pay them."

When Li Xiu heard about the salary, her eyes lit up. That's great, absolutely great!

She actually got a salary, even if it was only five dollars a month, oh no, two dollars, even if it was only two dollars a month, she would send it back home without spending a penny.

Tan Yuan is not sure how much salary she can get, but there is one thing she can say for sure, that is, it will definitely not be worse than Li Xiu’s idea.

However, to be honest, Tan Yuan was very dissatisfied with Nian Lin's idea.

She felt something was very wrong. Nianlin's symptoms were very similar to a mental illness she heard about decades later.

She doesn't care about anything and has no interest in anything. This is not a good thing...

You feel sorry for your own friends. You can't change the past, but you must change the future.

"Linlin, I'm definitely going to work in the factory when the time comes. Xiuxiu will definitely go too if she's selected. What about you? Do you want to work in the factory with us?"

Nianlin is not stupid, she likes cleanliness, is young and literate. All these add up and her conditions are not bad at all.

As long as she is willing, she will definitely be selected to work in the factory.

Nian Lin blinked and glanced between Tan Yuan and Li Xiu.

"Okay, then I'll go to work in the factory too."

There is no difference between going to work in the factory and going to work. There is Tan Yuan in the factory but not in the fields. So, she still wants to go to the factory.

"Okay, then all three of us will go to work in the factory!"

Li Xiu grinned and put his face close to Tan Yuan's.

"Yuanyuan, can you tell me what the recruitment criteria are for our factory? I'll be prepared in advance, otherwise I'll be very nervous."

Li Xiu didn't know what Tan Yuan did specifically in the factory, but she knew that many cadres from the brigade came to see Tan Yuan in the past two days, all for matters related to the factory. She was not stupid and knew that Tan Yuan must have a position there.

"Isn't it clearly written on the poster? The most important thing is to be clean and have a strong learning ability."

These two points are the most critical. Then it depends on how many people are selected from the team. If there are too many, then another round of exam will probably be needed.

Of course, Tan Yuan could not disclose the test content, as this would be unfair to others.

Others might say that Tan Yuan was just being perfunctory, but Li Xiu didn't think so. She felt that since Tan Yuan said so, it must be the case.

She doesn't know whether she has a strong learning ability or not, but she has no problem being clean. She can just clean up for herself when the time comes.

Close people like Li Xiu and Nian Lin knew that Tan Yuan must have a position in the factory, but others were not very clear.

This was also thanks to the cadres of the brigade. In their eyes, running a factory was the most important thing for the brigade, and they completely forgot to explain that Tan Yuan was now the youth team leader of the brigade.

Tan Yuan had not specifically publicized it. After all, other people might not know what her role as youth team leader was, but how could she and the team leader not know?

Then a strange thing happened. Except for the cadres of the Huaiyin Brigade, no one else knew about the newly appointed educated youth team leader.

The people in the team have lost their focus on work these past two days and are only thinking about recruiting workers.

After registering at the registration office every day, Tan Yuan would go to the brigade to see how the stone mill and tofu-making tools were doing.

In just a few days, all the stones were transported back from Turtle Mountain.

"There should be enough stone here to make five sets of stone mills. Tan Zhiqing, do you think it's enough?"

When Old Man Zhao saw Tan Yuan coming, he hurried over to greet her.

"That's enough, just take care of these first, Uncle Zhao will leave the rest to you."

The stone mill is used to grind beans. Five sets should be enough for now. If she has funds in the future, she would still prefer to use machines to replace manual labor. It is too tiring to pull this stone mill.

Human labor should be used for lighter tasks.

"Captain, has the commune agreed to come over today to collect the public grain?"

Once the public grain is taken away, the warehouse can be vacated, and then they can start setting up the factory and moving things in.

"Well, the tractor will be here soon."

The commune has a tractor team. Every year, tractors come to pull rice, and it only takes half a day to finish the work.

The scale has been pulled out of the warehouse and is now placed in the yard. The grain is also packed in urea bags and is neatly placed in the yard.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the commune to come with the tractor to pull the rice.

But the tractors in the commune were still not leaving.

Because they were waiting for someone, the educated youth who were going to work in the Huaiyin Brigade.

Zhao Yang's heart was filled with anxiety and anticipation.

She was nervous because she grew up in a big city. Although she lived in an old courtyard when she was young, she did not suffer much. After she went to the Tan family, her life became more comfortable.

I thought I would live a stable life in the city, but I didn't expect that one day I would go to the countryside.

Her mother, Li Aidi, was sentenced to forced labor and became a prisoner, and was even going to be sent to a farm. The Zhao family looked down on them and mocked them every day. Zhao Yang felt uncomfortable, but she did not dare to resist. The consequence of resistance would be that she would be driven out by the Zhao family and left on the streets, which she could not bear.

So before Zhao Debang announced his decision to give the job to Zhao Yaozu, Zhao Yang took the initiative to step forward and said that he was willing to go to the countryside.

She knew that in the Zhao family, in the face of her brother's interests, she would always be the one sacrificed.
