"You damn kid, are you satisfied now?" When he got home, his mother grabbed Zhang Junping's ears and scolded him.
"Mom, don't be anxious. Just wait. My eldest brother-in-law and his family will definitely come over to apologize in the afternoon. We'll talk about it then." Zhang Junping laughed softly.
"Just wait for me. If your sister really leaves, see how I deal with you!"
"I'm going to see if the mutton soup is ready..." Zhang Junping ran into the kitchen.
The mutton soup has been boiled for a long time. When the lid of the pot is lifted, the aroma of mutton fills the entire kitchen and wafts outside.
"Brother, can you drink the mutton soup?"
"Wait a moment, it will be ready soon!" Zhang Junping said, putting the vermicelli and cabbage into the pot.
The preparation of this kind of mutton soup is quite crude, but in Zhang Junping's opinion, this kind of mutton soup tastes better than the mutton soup in the mutton soup restaurant.
After about ten minutes, Zhang Junping opened the lid of the pot and said, "Yingzi, bring the bowl over here, it's time to eat!"
"Here it comes!" Yingzi couldn't wait any longer. When she heard Zhang Junping shouting, she immediately walked in with a stack of bowls in her arms.
"Second uncle, grandpa, grandpa, aunt, da, mother, eldest sister, Nini Niuniu is ready to eat!"
"You're a damn kid who knows how to eat. Your sister is about to get divorced, and you still have time to eat!" The mother walked into the kitchen and poked Zhang Junping hard with her finger.
"Mom, don't worry, we can't leave her! As long as the eldest brother-in-law's family comes to apologize, I will be responsible for doing the eldest sister's work." Zhang Junping put his arm around his mother's shoulders and comforted her with a smile.
"That's what you said! If we really divorce, I'll see if I don't smash your ass," the mother threatened.
"Okay, then I'll lie down and let you fight, okay?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"You talk!" Mother slapped Zhang Junping. Although she was still worried, she didn't mention it again.
My father-in-law, mother-in-law, uncle, sister-in-law and the second uncle of my husband's family are all here today, so it's not good to keep mentioning this matter.
During the meal, my grandparents asked a few questions, but Zhang Junping brushed them back in an understatement.
Then he changed the topic and said, "Da, I told my second grandfather this morning that I plan to get our Zhang family to invest in my furniture factory..."
"You figure it out for yourself. I don't understand either, but don't apologize. By then, you won't be the same person inside and outside."
"I can't compensate you. If you don't believe me, just ask my eldest sister, how is my business there? There are so many orders that I can't even handle it.
With the money from our Zhang family’s investment, I plan to buy the yard next door and expand it.”
"Da, the business of the furniture factory is really good. There are still more than 100 sets of furniture orders that have not been completed. In order to get the furniture as soon as possible, some people go to the furniture factory to set up the furniture in the morning, hoping that it can be made for them in advance." The eldest sister said.
Standing aside, he testified for Zhang Junping.
"You are also an adult. You are about the same age as you and have several children. You have to consider things carefully, and we can't give you much advice." His father did not object, but just reminded Zhang Junping to think about it himself.
"Da, don't worry, I've thought about it all.
You and Grandpa Er can help you talk to the Zhang family. The matter of buying shares is entirely voluntary, without force or persuasion.
In addition, on the way back from the morning market in the morning, I told you about breeding.
In fact, it can be distributed to each household, and each household can raise dozens or hundreds of chickens and several pigs without much effort.
But if all of us in the Zhang family are put together, the scale will be huge. We can also invite technicians from the animal husbandry station to come to the village to guide the breeding."
"It's not difficult to raise dozens of chickens, but raising a few more pigs will cost a lot of money. Not everyone in our Zhang family can afford it."
“Farming is the lowest-cost project to get rid of poverty and become rich at this stage.
I think the clan can use part of the money to help those who really can't afford chickens, piglets and seedlings.
You have always thought that the Zhang family is better than the Dong family, but one family is better than another family. Just one or two people cannot be powerful. Only when the whole family gets rid of poverty and becomes rich can they completely surpass the other family."
"I think what Pingzi said makes sense. Lao San, you should go to the commune tomorrow and ask if the commune can send technicians.
If technicians are assigned, then during the Chinese New Year, I will tell everyone that during the Chinese New Year, all of our Zhang family will engage in breeding." Second Grandpa told his father.
Seeing that Second Grandpa agreed with his suggestion, Zhang Junping said again: "Second Grandpa actually has another method of operation.
That is, our Zhang family established a clan cooperative to provide chickens and piglets for the whole clan, and then recycle the eggs and turn them into pigs.
If you put eggs or pigs together and sell them, whether you sell them to the supply and marketing cooperative's purchasing station or sell them yourself, the price will be higher than if you sell them in bulk."
"The prices at the purchasing stations are all fixed. No matter how many people you buy, they won't be able to raise the price for you..." my father retorted.
"Da, the purchasing station has purchasing tasks, and the price can be adjusted according to the actual situation. House after house will definitely ignore you.
But let’s talk about it with a hundred or so households in the Zhang family, and it won’t work unless he raises the price.
Now that the market has been liberalized, it is not necessary to sell to the purchasing station. If they don't increase the price, we will sell it ourselves. Now there are many markets in counties or regions, and we organize people to go to the purchasing station to find out the price.
higher.
In fact, this can be done not only for eggs and pigs, but also for all our agricultural products.
Take Chinese cabbage for example. In previous years, when we sold Chinese cabbage, we sold it from household to household.
A pound is only one centimeter or two or three centimeters at most. Sometimes when there are too many vegetables, it weighs seven or eight centimeters.
If our cooperative organized to negotiate with the purchasing station, we would be able to sell it for 1 cent, 40 to 5 cents.
If we use a horse-drawn carriage to drive it to the county or region and sell it, we can definitely sell it for three cents. This is the benefit of the cooperative."
"Isn't it like eating from a big pot again?"
"Da, how can this be eating from a big pot?
We just organize everyone so that we can be in a relatively high position whether we are selling or buying things.
Everyone still engages in their own production. The purpose of the cooperative is to help everyone sell the products they produce at a higher price and buy the things they need to buy at a lower price.
Of course, for the sake of long-term development, cooperatives do not help for free.
For example, if you sell Chinese cabbage yourself, you can only sell it for one cent and two cents. If you sell it to a cooperative, you can sell it for one cent and five cents. Then the supply and marketing cooperative can withdraw one cent from it as operating capital.
After all, whether you are dealing with a purchasing station or organizing people to sell in the county, you still need to pay labor costs.
The operating funds withdrawn are used to pay wages to these people."
Zhang Junping's words opened a door for his father, second grandfather, and the others, and they fell into deep thought.
Thinking about the cooperatives Zhang Junping talked about.
"What are you two still thinking about? How well did Pingzi say it? I think this can be done!" Grandpa was the first to stand up and support his grandson.
