Chapter 145 Proposal to Build a Workshop
Gu Mingyue curled her lips secretly, knowing that too much is as bad as too little, so she took the opportunity to suggest taking the leaders for a tour around the village.
When I walked to the edge of the field, Brother Gu Liu was swinging a hoe with sweat all over his forehead.
If you ignore the fact that he waved for a long time without moving much, it can be considered qualified.
There were also Xinsheng and Xintu who worked together to lift a piece of wood that was taller than them. Apart from exerting force on their faces, they could only keep moving in place...
Gu Mingyue couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
It would be difficult for two grown men to lift that piece of wood, let alone these two young guys.
I don't know how they lifted the two kids onto their shoulders, but they looked absolutely stunning.
Gu Mingyue sighed in her heart, they are all good actors.
How could the city leaders observe so carefully?
They just took a quick look and felt deeply gratified to see everyone working hard.
He also praised Gu Mingyue repeatedly.
Wang Bichang suddenly felt powerless when listening to the praises from his leaders.
Logically speaking, he should be happy about the achievements he has made within his jurisdiction.
But this person happened to be Gu Mingyue. Even though he knew that everything was acted out by her, he still had to act along with her.
Before coming here, he had told other villages to do it well.
Many problems were still discovered. For this reason, he tried to put on a smiling face to his leaders many times along the way, but to little avail.
I thought I would definitely be criticized or even warned this time.
Who would have thought that there would be such an unexpected turn of events, that I would be able to save my face in the place where he least liked me. I felt a mixture of emotions.
After introducing the situation in the village, Gu Mingyue did not forget to emphasize, "Leader, no matter how poor we are, we don't want to trouble the government. We still want to be self-reliant."
The city leader quickly understood what was said, and considering that the other party's performance was very pleasing to him, he asked casually, "Oh? Does Secretary Mingyue have any good ideas?"
"It's not a good idea. We can only adapt to local conditions. I wonder if we can set up a collective workshop to make some food such as soy products, or handicrafts. What do you think..."
Gu Mingyue picked up the basket woven by her second brother. "This kind of basket, with some patterns, is both beautiful and practical. Someone will definitely like it. What I mean is to make full use of existing resources, exchange goods for goods, and be self-sufficient. Of course, this is just the initial idea stage. I was also carried away by your praise, so please don't be offended."
The city leader neither agreed nor objected, but waved his hand and said casually, "It's okay. Young people have quick minds and make big leaps. I went through that time, so I understand. Besides, I think your proposal is very constructive. But the main task now is to make steel. We can talk about other things later."
Gu Mingyue first expressed her understanding, and then explained, "Leader, I was just talking about something. Speaking of which, the reason why I thought of this is because of steelmaking. It's not that we don't have experience, but we waste a lot of things and waste a lot of materials. I feel bad. Then I thought of recycling waste. Look at the leftover wood and iron materials. Individuals can't use them, but the collective can. If we build a workshop, the villagers can also have multiple incomes, and they will be more motivated to work. Alas, this is also my humble opinion. Just treat it as my nonsense, don't take it seriously."
The city leader was lost in thought and didn't notice that Gu Mingyue coughed lightly at this moment.
Suddenly, Uncle Gu who was working in the front fell to the ground. Li Laizi was not doing serious work, so he was really needed for this kind of clever thing.
He walked up quickly and asked with concern, "Uncle, are you okay?"
Second Uncle Gu has been honest all his life. He is so old now, but I didn’t expect that he could still act in a play. I can’t help but feel a little excited…
Li Laizi continued, "Second Uncle, are you hungry? I have half a cake for you. You can have a rest first and I will help you with the rest of the work."
Uncle Gu pretended to refuse, "No, keep it for yourself. I'm old and can't eat much. Help me up, I can still do it."
"Second Uncle!" Li Laizi wiped away his tears at the climax of his performance. "Then I'll accompany you."
The leader who had just been deliberately finding fault couldn't bear to see this scene, so he handed over the sweet potato and wild vegetable porridge in his hand and said, "Old man, I have something to eat. Please have a bite."
Uncle Gu and Li Laizi paused; this part was not in the rehearsal.
Moreover, the sweet potato and wild vegetable porridge is fed to pigs. It is bitter and astringent. Who would like to eat it?
Fortunately, Li Laizi reacted quickly and took it with a smile, "Thank you, leader."
Gu Mingyue said, "Uncle, health is the capital of revolution. If you go to work while you are sick and something really happens, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. It is better for you to go home and rest first. It won't cost you a day or two."
After hearing this, Uncle Gu knew he could leave.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, agreed reluctantly, and then left with the help of Li Laizi.
Looking at the trembling figure, all the leaders were moved.
The city leader thought about it and finally said, "Go back and compile your suggestions into a report. We will discuss it in a meeting. If it is feasible, implement it as soon as possible. After all, ensuring the basic needs of the villagers is the top priority. We cannot be afraid of choking and ignore the consequences. Comrade Mingyue, you are a thoughtful comrade. I look forward to your better achievements for your hometown in the future."
Having said that, Gu Mingyue knew that this matter was settled. She immediately expressed her determination to "never disappoint the leader's expectations."
As the group was leaving, Wang Bichang came closer and said meaningfully, "Today's show was well-rehearsed. Did Secretary Mingyue get what he wanted?"
"Thank you for your praise, President. As long as you give me your full support, I think I will get what I want soon. Will you support me?"
Wang Bichang said nothing, too lazy to pretend, and snorted, then walked away.
Gu Mingwei asked worriedly, "Mingyue, he won't trip me up, will he?"
"No. He has no power to object to what the city leaders have said. Besides, building collective workshops will only benefit him, so he won't be so desperate. If he dares to object, I will go to the commune every day to ask him for money and food."
Li Laizi came over to take credit and said, "Secretary Mingyue, was my performance okay?"
"Very good. If something like this happens again, I will definitely bring you along."
Li Laizi's smile froze, and he subconsciously asked, "Ah? There's more?"
He thought that since he performed so well, Mingyue would at least reward him with some food.
He never expected that he would end up losing the rice instead of the chicken. Not only did he not get anything, but he also had to continue working hard. He refused to do that.
"Oh, I remembered I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Gu Mingwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Look at how scared you are."
Gu Mingyue said proudly, "I think Li Laizi is determined to cheat. If I don't scare him, he will definitely dare to take advantage of me."
The brother and sister began to discuss the workshop as they walked. Gu Mingyue meant to build a soy product workshop first.
It can be used to make tofu, bean skin, and soy milk. The remaining bean dregs can be used to make pancakes, or at worst, feed pigs. Nothing is wasted.
Gu Mingwei hesitated, "No one in the village can do it."
"I've read a book before that has detailed records. It's not difficult. Anyway, the leader will need a while to go back for a meeting, which is enough time for us to practice. If we really can't do it well, we can change it to handicraft. Anyway, since the higher-ups agree, let's build it first."
