The next day, on the gravel road leading to the county seat, Zhou Yang pedaled his bicycle briskly!

The cloth bag slung on the handlebar contained several books and a thick stack of manuscript papers, which Zhou Yang had translated during this period.

Although there is no exact number of words, he estimated that it should be no less than 150,000 words.

In order to catch up on the manuscript, Zhou Yang didn't even attend last night's members' meeting.

Firstly, he was indeed too busy, and secondly, because he already knew everything he was going to say last night, so there was no need to participate.

However, Li Youwei attended as a family representative, and even brought Baoer with her. This girl obviously took it as a fun to watch!

I learned from Li Youwei that at yesterday's members' meeting, everyone had no objections to collective labor.

After all, this kind of thing happens every year, and everyone is used to it!

There were even many people who took the initiative to challenge, and two teams of sixty young men were decided on the spot.

On the one hand, the reason why everyone is so active is because participating in collective labor can count as work points, and you can get full work points every day, which is very attractive to many members.

Secondly, if you work in a collective, you can have enough to eat!

According to regulations, when going to work collectively, each production team must bring its own pots, pans, and food.

Generally speaking, the team will provide collective food to the members who participate in labor, and these are rare and rare grains, and they are still full!

This is even more attractive to many commune members who don’t have enough to eat.

Although it is indeed more tiring to work in a collective than to work in the fields in the village, for farmers who are used to hardship, they are not afraid of being a little bit more tired, but they are afraid that there will be no harvest after the hardship.

They are satisfied with being able to earn work points and have enough to eat!

I have to say that people these days are really honest!

The matter of collective labor has been settled, but regarding the matter of Yang Xiulan's family, there are huge differences of opinion among the members.

Including Yang Xiulan's natal family and most of the members of the clan, they naturally support this matter.

However, many people clearly expressed their opposition. After all, no matter which production team these three people were assigned to, they would have to take away five to six hundred kilograms of grain.

Based on a production team with 150 strong laborers, each person would have three to four kilograms of these several hundred kilograms of grain.

Who would want to lose three or four kilograms of food for nothing?

And this is not just a one-year thing, but happens every year in the future, so there are quite a few people who oppose it.

In the end, it was Li Fengnian who came forward. He assured the members that this year the Yang Xiulan family's rations would not be provided by the team, but by the production team in Xiaohuangtu Village.

In addition, he told the village members and educated youth what Zhou Yang said in the meeting room of the brigade headquarters that morning, and then he reluctantly got everyone to agree to accept Yang Xiulan's family.

Despite this, many people still hold objections, including some village cadres.

But Zhou Yang didn't take this matter to heart. When everyone is poor, it's useless even if you talk about it.

As long as everyone's life is better, the villagers don't mind raising a few more idlers!

What's more, Yang Xiulan's family still has hands and feet, and they are all normal people who can work in the fields.

Therefore, the key is to make people’s lives richer!

This is like being filial to your parents. In Zhou Yang's memory, whether in Babaoliang Village or later when he returned to the city, it often happened that children were unfilial and even failed to support the elderly.

Many families are obviously close relatives, but it is not uncommon for them to become red-faced or even turn against each other over something.

Especially for daughters-in-law and parents-in-law, it’s even more difficult to describe!

But as time goes by, this kind of thing becomes less and less!

Especially after entering the new century, it is no longer rare to hear mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreling over a few kilograms of rice and a few potatoes.

It’s not that everyone’s consciousness has become higher, but that society has progressed, everyone has become rich, and they don’t care about the three melons and two dates!

Therefore, if you want to stop the villagers from opposing this matter, the key is to make everyone rich!

Therefore, the purchase of piglets must be implemented as soon as possible!

Yunshan County Post Office!

Zhou Yang was recognized by the staff as soon as he entered the door. After seeing Zhou Yang, the little girl took the initiative to say hello: "Comrade, you are here again!"

"Haha, here you go, help me see if you have any letters or packages from me?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"OK!"

"Zhou Yang, unite Babaoliang Village of the Commune!"

The little girl searched for a while in a pile of letters, quickly found two letters, and then handed them to Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang was a little surprised when he saw that there were two letters, but he was not in a hurry to open them.

Instead, he directly handed the manuscript in his hand to the staff of the post office and said at the same time: "Comrade, please help me mail these manuscripts!"

"Okay, comrade, please fill in the form!"

"Um!"

Soon, after filling out the form and paying the money, the manuscripts were sent out!

Afterwards, Zhou Yang took a closer look at the two letters in his hand!

The first letter was from Ning City. He didn't have to think twice to know that it was from Lao Xu.

When I opened it, I found that it contained a remittance slip and some bills.

The money was the royalties for the manuscripts he had given him before going to Dongquan Farm. The total amount was 721 yuan, which was about the same as he had estimated.

With this money, Zhou Yang was able to make up for the hundreds of dollars he spent on going to Dongquan Farm, and even had a slight surplus!

At this point, his family's personal savings have reached fifteen to six hundred yuan.

Although it is not a particularly large amount, compared to many people who save dozens or even hundreds of dollars in a lifetime, they are indeed a wealthy family.

After collecting the remittance orders and bills, Zhou Yang took out a second letter!

When he saw that the mailing address turned out to be Beijing, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel excited.

Apart from Teacher Zhu, I'm afraid there is no one else writing letters from the capital.

Teacher Zhu’s name is Zhu Qingming. He used to teach in the same school as his father, teaching electromagnetism.

And because the two families had a good relationship, Zhou Yang had often attended his class since high school. After examining Zhou Yang's actual level, he directly accepted Zhou Yang as his apprentice.

In fact, if nothing happened later, Zhou Yang would have applied for Peking University in the autumn of 1969 and became a student of Teacher Zhu.

It's a pity that life is unpredictable, and the large intestine wraps up the small intestine!

Zhou Yang ultimately failed to go to college, and was even sent to Saibei Province!

And it took more than five years to go there!

Last year, the two of them got in touch again, and last time it was him who helped him get a transfer order to return to the city, hoping that he could return to the capital.

For this uncle and teacher, Zhou Yang was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Due to work reasons, this uncle knew some relatively confidential things and knew that the country was going to carry out a scientific research project of great significance. Since Zhou Yang had a good talent in this area, he recommended him to the relevant departments.

Zhou Yang knew that as long as he returned, he would soon join the project as a non-staff member and be sent to the northwest region.

There, he will stay for three years until the project reaches a breakthrough.

And he will also grow from a non-staff member to a core researcher of the team during those three years.

However, because of this incident in his previous life, he left the biggest stain and irreparable regret in his life.

So when he found out that he was reborn, he immediately tore up the order to return to the city!

I just didn’t expect that after two months, Teacher Zhu’s letter came again!

ps: The next two chapters are a little later. Lao Cang writes the manuscript the day before every day, or gets up early in the morning to code. But yesterday I went to the Provincial Writers Association to participate in an event, so I was a little late and delayed the coding. I apologize for the delay.
Chapter completed!
