After my stepmother was shot, I took my brothers to the countryside

Chapter 134: No work points for raising chickens?

The team leader looked around at the enthusiastic members below the stage and felt very pleased.

He struck the gong again and waved his hand for everyone to be quiet: "Everyone, please don't be impatient. I know you are enthusiastic and willing to contribute to our team. But everyone, please listen to me first."

As he spoke, the captain waved to Shen Nian who was standing in the front row, and only continued speaking after Shen Nian walked next to him.

"The chicken coop is already built, so first we need someone to be in charge. After an in-depth discussion among the village cadres, we decided to let Shen Zhiqing be the person in charge of the chicken coop."

As soon as the team leader finished speaking, the members below started talking like ants on a pot of boiling water.

"What? Shen Zhiqing? She's a girl from the city. What does she know about raising chickens?"

"Yes, Captain, raising chickens is no joke. We need someone with experience!"

"I think Aunt Li is a good fit. She's good at raising chickens and will definitely be able to take good care of them."

When Aunt Li heard her name being mentioned, a smug smile appeared on her face, as if she had already secured victory.

She said modestly, "No, no, when it comes to raising chickens, it has to be my sister-in-law! Her chickens are raised well, isn't it, sister-in-law?"

When Aunt Li heard Aunt Li suddenly mention her, a look of horror appeared in her eyes. This person! Is he trying to harm her again?

She quickly waved to the captain on the stage.

"Captain! I can't do it! I really can't! Shen Zhiqing can! Shen Zhiqing is the right person!"

Aunt Li couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw her brother and sister-in-law like this. Raising chickens is such a good job!

I don’t know what she and Shen Zhiqing experienced in the mountains! She was so scared when Shen Zhiqing was around!

"Captain! I will do this! I promise to raise your chickens fat and strong!" Aunt Li continued to recommend herself.

The team leader waved his hand again, signaling for silence. "Everyone, listen to me first. Although Shen Zhiqing is young, she is knowledgeable and has ideas. It was Shen Zhiqing who proposed raising chickens!"

"She came to me and said she hoped every household in our brigade could increase their annual income so everyone could have enough to eat and live a good life! She also proposed some new chicken farming methods. After discussing it with several of us village cadres, we all thought it was worth a try. So, we decided to let her take charge of the chicken farming project."

"Also, since this is our brigade's first attempt at raising chickens, we're not sure if it will be successful. Therefore, we won't record the initial work points."

The crowd erupted in uproar once again. "Not counting work points? That would mean working in vain!"

Just how excited everyone was just now, now everyone is so calm, work points! That is related to the food and drink of the whole family for a day!

"Captain! Are you asking us to work for the team for nothing?"

"Who would be willing to do this? The whole family is waiting to eat!"

"That's right! That's right! Isn't this a thankless task?"

Faced with the villagers' doubts and dissatisfaction, the team leader looked at Shen Nian deeply. Everything seemed to be within her expectations.

The captain stood on the stage, looking at everyone with a firm gaze, and said in a steady voice:

"Fellow villagers, I understand your concerns. Work points are indeed very important to us; they guarantee our livelihoods. But please consider this: our brigade has always relied on growing crops for a living, and raising chickens is a completely new endeavor for us. If we succeed, it will be a major step forward for our brigade, and the lives of every household will be improved."

After hearing the captain's words, there was complete silence.

Both Aunt Li, who was eager to try just now, and the educated youth in the educated youth courtyard who were eager to move, fell silent.

Shen Nian looked at the silent crowd. Everything was within her expectations.

"Captain!"

Zhang Fengfeng's voice suddenly rang out in the crowd, breaking the silence.

"Is Shen Zhiqing also willing to give up his work points?"

Her eyes were fixed on Shen Nian on the stage, with a hint of provocation and questioning.

Shen Nian? ?

This person might be seriously ill!

When the captain saw that the person speaking was Zhang Fengfeng, his face didn't look very good.

Ever since he helped Zhang Ergen's family to divide the property last time, Zhang Ergen's family looked down on him and he had already experienced this family's unreasonable behavior.

But as the team leader, he must remain impartial and not let his personal emotions affect his work.

He was about to explain, but Shen Nian stepped forward first. Facing Zhang Fengfeng's questioning, she said calmly:

"Comrade Zhang Fengfeng, are you also interested in raising chickens?"

Zhang Fengfeng was stunned for a moment when Shen Nian suddenly called her out. She didn't expect Shen Nian to ask her so directly.

Zhang Fengfeng instinctively retorted, "Who wants to raise chickens? It's dirty and tiring! And you don't even get any work points!"

Shen Nian smiled slightly when he heard this. "Comrade Zhang Fengfeng, there seems to be something wrong with your thinking! The reason the brigade raises chickens is for our brigade's future! To improve the lives of every household! How can you complain about the dirt and tiredness? And still be unwilling to work?"

Shen Nian's voice was gentle, and for a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Fengfeng.

"This Fengya, I've never seen her work in the fields, right?" Aunt Wang said.

"Of course! Her clothes and pants are washed by her sisters-in-law! Her second brother's daughter Xiaoying is even more diligent than her!"

"Mrs. Zhang! Fengya is already nineteen, right? Are you still planning to keep her like this?"

The aunts around Feng Ya Niang were talking about it in a flurry.

Zhang Fengfeng was already speechless after hearing Shen Nian's words, and her face turned pale and blue.

Now, she was blushing again because of what everyone was saying. She had originally wanted to pick a fight with Shen Nian, but she hadn't expected to get herself into trouble. She glared at Shen Nian fiercely, turned her head away, and stopped talking.

Seeing Zhang Fengfeng's frustration, Shen Nian secretly laughed in his heart, "You little brat! You still want to pick a fight with me?"

Seeing this, the team leader secretly praised Shen Nian's wit. He also took the opportunity to pick up the conversation: "Fellow villagers! Raising chickens is for the future of our team! It's not that there are no work points in the early stage. As long as the chickens are successfully raised, the work points will be supplemented by everyone later! Everyone, please sign up! We are only recruiting seven people at the moment! There are still six spots!" He took the opportunity to encourage everyone to actively participate.

"Captain, do you mean that if this chicken is raised, then it will get work points? And then the work points will be added later? If it's not raised, then there will be no work points at all?"

Aunt Zhang San asked, it seemed like this idea was proposed by Shen Nian himself, and she believed that Shen Nian was sensible.

The captain nodded quickly and explained patiently, "That's right, that's the truth."

In fact, the captain was also sweating profusely. If Shen Nian hadn't forced him to say so, he would definitely not have said it. This girl, isn't she cutting off her own retreat?

If this chicken can't be raised...

Bah, bah, bah, it will work! It must work!

"We're only hiring six people right now. Anyone willing to participate in chicken farming and not have their work points recorded can sign up now with Shen Zhiqing. We'll be hiring if we're full!"

The team leader said sternly, "If you don't want to do it now, don't even think about causing trouble when you see others successfully raising chickens and earning work points. Let me be frank: if anyone dares to cause trouble later, I'll just deduct their work points!"

The captain's words were so powerful that everyone stopped talking and the scene became solemn for a moment.

No one dares to take the gamble. If it fails, wouldn’t it be a year’s work in vain?
