Chapter 28

Xu Juan nodded, of course she knew about this.

It would be safer to exchange for things.

The two of them recorded the specific requirements and details of the things that the educated youth wanted just now.

Xu Juan smiled and said, "You have to do so much, can you finish it in a short time? I said it first, so you have to put my gift first."

"Well, it's okay,Sister Donghe cooks very fast, and Zhenzhen cooks very well, so they can help. I'll give this to Sister Donghe later and discuss with her how to arrange it. "

Lin Shu said.

After the two of them wrote this down, Xu Juan had to go to the kitchen to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner with everyone.

They didn't eat well here at ordinary times, but during the New Year, everyone's family sent some things over more or less. Those who had food coupons, meat coupons and other coupons also went to the county and the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a lot of things. Tonight is the New Year's Eve dinner, so we still have to have a good time.

Xu Juan asked Lin Shu: "Shushu, do you want to come and cook with us, so that everyone can have fun."

Lin Shu shook his head and said: "I have something else to do, so I won't go over, you go. "

Xu Juan sighed as she saw her frowning and pondering over the book.

Although she believed that Lin Shu really wanted to help Liang Donghe, there were so many poor women and children in the countryside, why did she care so much about Liang Donghe? Liang Donghe had also tried to match Gao Xiaolian with Captain Liang, and Liang Donghe's mother had said bad things about her behind her back...

It was all because of Captain Liang.

If Captain Liang was not good to Lin Shu, he would be really blind...

Lin Shu didn't know what Xu Juan was thinking.

She was busy.

Xu Juan went to the yard, and everyone was busy, some rolling noodles, some washing vegetables. Seeing that Lin Shu didn't come out, a female educated youth named Zhao Qin said, "Xu Juan, won't Lin Shu come out and talk to us? She didn't even eat the New Year's Eve dinner. She doesn't consider herself as one of us at all. "Yes, she is different from us. Have you heard that our brigade may also open a primary school? Lin Shu is the girlfriend of Captain Liang. She will definitely be the primary school teacher." He asked Xu Juan again, "Xu Juan, you have the best relationship with Lin Shu. Have you heard her say this?" On the way to Qinghe Brigade, Lin Shu told Xu Juan and two other male educated youths that she was not Liang Jinxi's girlfriend, but just admired him. But Xu Juan felt that people who knew her character would be moved by this, but people who didn't know her might misunderstand her as frivolous, so she told the two male educated youths that it was just Lin Shu's modesty, and asked them not to tell others about it.

If others asked anything, they just said they didn't know. So even the other educated youths didn't know that Lin Shu and Liang Jinxi were not in a relationship. Xu Juan felt something was wrong when she heard what Zhao Qin said. This was a bit of a sowing of discord. She smiled and said, "I don't know about this, and it has nothing to do with us. No matter which brigade opened a primary school or not, we educated youth would not be eligible for the teacher quota. Unless you marry a local person like the educated youth in Shitan Brigade who married the son of the brigade secretary, you may have a chance. But speaking of this, where did you hear this news, Sister Zhao Qin? Did it come from Secretary Liang's family? "

Zhao Qin's face turned red.

In Secretary Liang's family, Secretary Liang's son Liang Hongxing was interested in her, which was known to everyone in the educated youth.

It's just that she was arrogant and proud. Even if she became an educated youth, she would not be willing to marry a local person, so she never agreed.

She said angrily: "It was the news from the commune. It said that there were many children in our brigade, and many people did not send their children to school because the commune primary school was far away, so the brigade had always wanted to run a primary school, but the commune asked the brigade to pay for it, and the brigade had no money, so the matter was put on hold. But this year, the commune opened a kiln factory, and the situation is better. Maybe they will support us to run a primary school, but we have to start with the children, and try the first grade first. "

"The commune also proposed that since they want to build a primary school, they should do it well. Teachers cannot get in by connections. They should get in by exams like in the city. Both educated youth who went to the countryside and locals can take the exam. However, some people objected, saying that there are special cases, such as military families like Lin Shu, who should be given special care. "

A brigade only has one or two teacher quotas at most.

If there is competition for the exam, then everyone has a chance.

But if special care is given, then Lin Shu will be the one to get it, right?

For a moment, the originally lively courtyard suddenly became quiet.

This time, Xu Juan was sure that Zhao Qin was looking for trouble.

Wouldn't all the educated youth feel uncomfortable about Lin Shu if she said that?

She sneered and said, "Why are you jealous? Isn't it a national policy that soldiers shed blood and sacrifice on the front line, and military families are given preferential treatment? Do you have any objections? Moreover, even if there is an exam, Lin Shu probably doesn't need special care. We just graduated, and she is famous for her good grades in our school. Even now, she keeps studying every day, and you may not be able to pass her! "

This time, Zhao Qin's face flushed red, and she said angrily: "Did she get the news early? Otherwise, what's the point of studying in the countryside?"

Oh, maybe she found a soldier specifically for this!

She herself didn't want to marry the son of the branch secretary to get this special opportunity.

She also looked down on Lin Shu, who was looking for a backer before going to the countryside.

As for Lin Shu's giving up the opportunity of Shitan Brigade, seeing that the branch secretary Zhou of Shitan Brigade used another teacher quota to seduce the female educated youth to marry his son as a daughter-in-law, you know that he is not a good person. Later, there were so many rumors, and I don't know how many tricks there are.

The happy atmosphere was suddenly filled with gunpowder.

"Okay, say less,"

The eldest sister Chen Shufen, who has been in charge of dispatching the affairs of the female educated youth, said, "There is no definite number for this matter. What we heard is all from outside. Just listen to the arrangements of the commune., what's the point of you quarreling? It's just a joke. "

Xu Fang also pulled Xu Juan and said, "What's the point of being so serious? If you talk too much, it will only make Lin Shu hate you."

Zhao Qin is not bad, but she is angry that Lin Shu is taken care of as soon as she comes, and relies on men for everything.

Xu Juan endured it.

She just couldn't be angry.

It's obvious that she can only see those things in her eyes, and she uses them to judge others and label others. She still thinks she is much nobler than others!

*****

Xu Juan worked for a while, and she felt uncomfortable. She went back to the room when she had time, and saw Lin Shu still lying on the kang table writing and drawing.

From a distance, the kang table was full of shoe and clothing patterns.

Xu Juan felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Shu Shu, don't be like this. Isn't Captain Liang back now? You should spend more time with him. Can he accompany you to the commune and send you back to the dormitory? He must like you... Alas, how could he not like you? He must like you. But Shushu, I'm worried that you'll be too good to him and he'll take advantage of you..."

"Why do you always think about Captain Liang!"

Lin Shu raised her head and looked at Xu Juan helplessly, "Well, I'm telling you, actually I've been in contact with Captain Liang these past two days and found that he and I are not suitable. Well, that's right, the love we had when we were young doesn't count, it's all my own imagination, that's right... Anyway, now that we've met, I find that we're not suitable, don't mention it anymore."

Before, she was caught by Liang Jinxi for making up stories, so now Lin Shu didn't dare to say anything.

She said, "I was just thinking about something else."

"Here, look at these,"

She picked up a piece of paper from the table and handed it to Xu Juan, saying, "Look at these things, I think they are suitable to be made of homespun cloth, backpacks, cloth bags, shoes, clothes... I'm thinking, can we set up a textile factory in the brigade to make these things. I remember you said before that your uncle is the director of a department store? You said we made these things, can you ask your uncle if we can supply them to department stores to sell? "

Making things privately for people you know is only a temporary measure, and it is also very risky. You may be reported at any time, so she has been thinking about this.

She didn't just think about it, she just roughly calculated the scale and budget.

She roughly calculated that women here usually earn four or five work points a day during the non-agricultural busy season, and one work point is four cents. This means that the monthly salary is about five or six yuan, but if you make simple backpacks and cloth bags, you can make several in a day. If you make shoes all day, you can make a pair of at most a few. It can be done in a day, and with division of labor and cooperation, it can be done faster. She remembered that a pair of ordinary cotton shoes in the department store cost five or six yuan, and some expensive ones could be sold for ten yuan.

So as long as it can be done, it will definitely feed many people.

At the beginning, you only need a few spinning machines and looms, fewer people, and there is not much risk.

Xu Juan was just shocked by her words that she didn't like Captain Liang, and her attention was drawn to it again when she heard this.

She looked at the things on the paper, was stunned for a moment, and said, "Will this work?"

"Why can't it work?"

Lin Shu smiled and said, "In fact, I have been thinking about this for several days. The main thing is that the villagers here all grow cotton, but the annual harvest is sent to the county, and the rations they get in exchange are not enough to eat. In fact, you know the educated youth home where we are living now, the big landlord used to have a cloth shop in the commune... Many people here have ready-made skills. "

She had observed that the local cloth here, whether it was weaving or printing and dyeing, had some rules and techniques, which should have been left by the cloth shop people at that time.

It was just that it happened decades ago, and many things were fragmented.

But it didn't matter, she had other ideas.

"Think about it, if this thing is done, we don't have to do farm work, we can all work in the factory, and then I can bring my brother to the countryside, and I don't have to worry about not being able to support him. Don't worry about the things on the brigade side, I will ask Captain Liang in detail, you can ask your uncle for me if he can supply their department store, and your uncle is the director of the department store, he knows a lot of people, maybe he can supply other places. "

In fact, Lin Shu's father used to be a leader of the municipal party committee, and her mother was also the director of the office of the textile factory. She knew a lot of people, but her family situation was like this now. If she was not a very close friend, she would not look for someone.

Xu Juan's eyes lit up and said, "Okay, then you ask Captain Liang. If the brigade really has this plan, then you can give me a few more samples. When the brigade really agrees to open a factory, I will find a chance to go home and show them to my uncle. I can't make him like it. Besides, I think these shoes are beautiful and many people will buy them."

Bah, look at what Zhao Qin is thinking about the teacher quota that doesn't exist.

On the one hand, she boasts that she is noble and disdains to marry the son of the brigade secretary, and on the other hand, she is jealous of others. I'm afraid she has been struggling in her heart!

But Lin Shu's mind is not on that at all!

"Well, when the time comes, you can also ask your uncle about the approximate selling price and the general supply price, but there is no rush for these. I will ask Captain Liang first and figure out the regulations first. "

Lin Shu carefully listed all the aspects of running a textile factory on paper, and went through all the possible problems. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Tou came over and knocked on the door, calling out "Auntie Lin". Then he told the educated youths and went toThe Liang family.
