At the beginning, when Zhang Zhenming proposed to start a side business, the villagers were full of expectations and were thinking about grabbing this lucrative position.

However, when they heard that there was no specific project and that only five work points would be given, everyone's faces showed disappointment.

These days, a healthy woman working in a production team could earn seven work points a day.

Each member of this group that is doing side jobs can only get five work points, which is really too little.

Thinking of this, some people suddenly became dissatisfied:

"Who's going to take these few work points?"

"Whoever wants to go can go, but I'm not going."

At first, Li Jingshen didn't quite understand why Zhang Zhenmin set such a low work point, but when he saw the dissatisfaction on everyone's faces, he suddenly understood.

Zhang Zhenming is quite capable, no wonder he has been the village party secretary for so many years.

Zhang Zhenming looked embarrassed after seeing everyone's reaction. "Our sideline group doesn't have a specific work plan yet, and five work points is already the limit."

Zhou Guohua was the first to speak out, stating his stance: "Whoever wants to go can go, but I'm not going. No one from our Zhou family is going either."

Zhang Zhenming looked furious and glared at Zhou Guohua, "Zhou Guohua, as a team leader, is this all you have realized?"

Zhou Guohua sneered, "I'm not being cunning. Digging sand in the production team is also revolutionary work, isn't it?"

Zhang Zhenming opened his mouth, but was left speechless by Zhou Guohua's anger.

He looked at the men, women, young and old who were full of resistance and said with great embarrassment, "Okay, if you don't want to go, I'll arrange for my son Zhang Yunfei to go. Also, Old Jiang, these people in your family should come along and do it. Don't come to the riverbank to dig sand anymore."

Zhang Zhenming looked at Li Jingshen's father-in-law Jiang Guoli and spoke in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Jiang Guoli's face turned bitter.

His wife is Zhang Zhenming's sister, and the two families are real relatives. Over the years, Zhang Zhenming has taken good care of the Jiang family.

Now that Zhang Zhenming made such a request in public, he had no way of refusing.

But that sideline group can only earn five work points a day. If the whole family does this, how much money can they get at the end of the year?

This is a big loss!

Just as he was hesitating whether to agree, Jiang Guoli saw Li Jingshen nodded at him.

Although he didn't quite understand, Jiang Guoli finally reacted and nodded to Zhang Zhenming.

"Since you agreed, from now on everyone in the Jiang family, including son-in-law Li Jingshen and my son Zhang Yunfei, will be members of the sideline group."

"Starting this afternoon, you don't have to come here to dig sand anymore. Let's discuss how to start a side job."

Seeing Jiang Guoli nod, Zhang Zhenming immediately spoke and finalized the matter.

The fellow villagers standing by looked at the Jiang family with sympathy on their faces.

But the captain of Team One, Zhou Guohua, vaguely realized something.

You know, Zhang Zhenming is the village party secretary of Xiaoxi Village, the most powerful one.

How could he let his loved ones and son do a business that would lose money?

No, no, this matter must not be simple!

Zhou Guohua muttered to himself, and immediately said: "Village Party Secretary, why don't I also carry forward my style and join the sideline group."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhenming's face suddenly turned serious, and he said coldly: "What's wrong with you? Just now when I asked you to join, you refused to join. Now that I have gathered all the people, you are starting to talk nonsense again?"

"I……"

Zhou Guohua was so upset that he didn't know what to say. His father, Old Man Zhou, immediately said, "Guohua, what's wrong with you? We don't want to get involved in side jobs."

"Uh...okay..."

Zhou Guohua vaguely realized that he had suffered a loss, but since things had come to this point, he could only nod helplessly.

"Okay, it's settled. Everyone, go away. Remember to come to work on time."

Zhang Zhenming waved his hand and the villagers immediately dispersed.

By the riverbank, only Jiang Guoli's family, Zhang Zhenming and his son Zhang Yunfei were left.

Zhang Yunfei said with a bitter face, "Dad, I'm your biological son. Why did you give me such a hard job?"

"Also, my uncle's family isn't having a good time either. If you ask them all to join this sideline group, won't they still be able to eat porridge by the end of the year?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhenming glared at his son and whispered, "You have no brains, kid. How can I take on such a losing business?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei's eyes suddenly lit up.

Jiang Guoli also vaguely guessed something and walked over to Zhang Zhenming and Li Jingshen: "Have you two figured it out?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhenming smiled and glanced at Li Jingshen: "It was all your son-in-law, Li Jingshen's idea."

Then, he pointed to the frozen river and said, "Break the ice and catch fish."

Jiang Guoli was a little worried: "Catch the fish and sell them for money? The fish we have here are all small fish. Although they taste good, will anyone buy them?"

"Besides, our village is so remote that if we go to the town to sell the fish, most of them will be dead by the time we get there, and we won't be able to get a good price for them."

Zhang Zhenming smiled and said, "Your concern is correct. Depth of Field has already thought of a plan for us."

"We don't sell fresh fish. We catch the fish, clean it, and fry it directly. Then we sell the fried fish in town."

"The fish from our village tastes good, so we'll definitely have no trouble selling it."

Hearing this, everyone's faces showed excitement and they all spoke up.

"That's a good idea."

"Yes, although the work points we earn are few, we earn a lot of money. Of course, part of this money must be handed over to the collective, but we also get our own hard work fee."
