Chapter 211 Going to the Village Headquarters for a Meeting

"Well, second brother, Liu Zhiyong came over just now and said that we are going to the village headquarters for a meeting tomorrow morning. It is said that it was about hunting together before," Zhao Chunming said quickly to Zhang Peng.

"Ah, this is no problem. Everything will be fine tomorrow. Let's go there together." Zhang Peng heard Zhao Chunming's words, then turned his head and said.

"Second brother, are you going to give out money?" Zhao Chunming said to Zhang Peng with a smile.

"It should be so, but I don't know how much it will cost this time," Zhang Peng said calmly.

"Huh? This money can't go to waste, right? Now I'll go over and inform Xiaoli and Damao. How can we do this without them?" Zhao Chunming agreed, then got up and walked out.

After Zhao Chunming left, Zhang Peng went outside to feed Rhubarb and the other puppies, then washed his hands and returned to the east room.

"What did Chunming come here for?" Zhang Tiejun didn't fall asleep. He lay on the kang and squinted for a while. He glanced at Zhang Peng when he entered the room, and then closed his eyes again and asked.

"Ah, come here and tell us that tomorrow the Village Department will hold a meeting for us, and the money will probably be distributed. It is almost the Chinese New Year, and it will be too late if we don't pay." Zhang Peng took off his shoes and got on the kang, and then said.

"This is a good thing. This winter is not in vain." Wang Xiufen said with a smile when she heard what Zhang Peng said.

"Well, Cui Weixing will probably leave after the Chinese New Year," Zhang Tiejun said suddenly.

"Huh? Dad, where did you hear this?" Zhang Peng was stunned when he heard this. Although he knew Cui Weixing was leaving, he didn't expect Zhang Tiejun to know about it.

Wang Xiufen stopped what she was doing when she heard Zhang Tiejun's words, and followed Zhang Peng to look at Zhang Tiejun.

"About this matter, your Uncle Zhao has heard the news a long time ago, but it has never been confirmed. However, it seems to have been negotiated some time ago. It is said that there is someone in the city, so he got it done." Zhang Tiejun opened his eyes and looked at The roof of the house, and then said.

Zhang Peng looked at Zhang Tiejun and knew that he was remembering what happened before. His family also had the opportunity to go to the city before, but the quota was lost due to the mischief of the old Pan family. This has always been Zhang Tiejun's worry. This was something that touched his heart again.

"There is nothing good in the city. We are living a good life now. In the future, I think the village will be more comfortable than the city." After hearing this, Wang Xiufen continued her work and then lowered her head and said.

As Wang Xiufen finished speaking, there was no sound in the room for a while.

Wang Xiufen said this just to comfort herself. If you can go to the city these days, who is still staying in the countryside? Going to the city is a matter of competition. The gap between urban and rural areas is indeed a bit big, coupled with the thinking of the older generation , if based on the comfort level of life, most people will still choose the city at this time.

The next morning, the village meeting was held as scheduled. When Zhang Peng and others arrived at the village, they saw Zhao Laowen smoking a cigarette pot and looking at them with a smile.

"Uncle, you came very early." Zhang Peng stepped forward and sat down next to Zhao Laowen.

"I have nothing to do. I'm staying at home, so I might as well come here early." Zhao Laowen said, turning around and stabbing the stove behind to make the fire more intense. "Hey, sir, do you have any news?" Hou Damao also came over and asked Zhao Laowen with a smile.

"What news can I have? Just listen calmly today, and don't talk too much about anything else." Zhao Laowen said, taking another puff of cigarette, and then slowly spit it out.

Zhang Peng and others were also moved when they heard this. There is something behind the words. It is not a good time to be in the limelight today, so they should keep a low profile.

After waiting for a while, the hunting team came in one after another. When they saw Zhao Laowen and Zhang Peng, they also said hello. The three managers from the village were the last ones to come in. The three of them walked in together. Ding Shengli Naturally, he was sitting in the main seat, while accountants He Yuming and Cui Weixing were sitting on both sides.

"Okay, I see everyone is here, let's start now." He Yuming looked around for a week and then said. It seems that he should be presiding over the meeting today.

"The main thing in today's meeting is what we mentioned before, the issue of this winter's indicators. So what is the specific issue? Next, Secretary Ding will tell you about it. Everyone applauds." He Yuming was also the first to applaud after finishing his speech. .

Then everyone clapped and welcomed, and they were all a little excited. It was finally time to divide the money. Ding Shengli also looked at everyone's expectant eyes, coughed, and spoke slowly.

"Now this is the case. Something happened to us this year. Everyone knows about it. This caused us to fail to successfully complete the corresponding goals we set before. This also made the superior department very dissatisfied with us. Why? Or the superiors have their own plans, and there are things we don’t know much about. We don’t care about these things. No matter what the reason is, it’s a fact that it hasn’t been completed.” Ding Shengli paused for a moment before taking a sip of water.

"But, it's useless for us to talk about corn husks. The most important thing is our own income. I'll tell the truth. The money allocated by the authorities this time is not enough." As soon as Ding Shengli finished speaking, The people below are a little unable to sit still. They are all young people who go up to the mountains to hunt, with their heads stuck to their waistbands. If you want to touch my money, it will cost our lives.

Ding Shengli frowned slightly when he saw this situation. I haven't finished talking yet, so why don't you come with me?

"Old party secretary, something is wrong with what the village is doing. This is not our business, and we are not without our efforts. There is basically nothing to fight near the village. You can't let me go deep into the mountains. It will be a problem whether he comes back or not." Wang Fugen couldn't hold it back at first. He had contributed a lot, and he also had his own dog gang. It was definitely inappropriate for him to do this.

"You're the only one who has so much trouble, right? You're so obvious?" Cui Weixing scolded Ding Shengli before he could speak.

This is his own soldier. If he makes a moth in front of him, it will not have a good impact on Cui Weixing. He can only suppress it first. What is this kid so anxious about? Didn’t he see that the old party secretary hasn’t finished speaking? Cui Weixing looked at it coldly. He glanced at Wang Fugen, and Liu Zhiyong beside him also secretly pulled him.

"Haha, it's okay. Young people just have to have a temper. What if they are all old guys like us?" Ding Shengli also said with a smile.

"Oh, it's not profound at all, old party secretary, keep talking." Cui Weixing also deliberately sighed, and then said to Ding Shengli.

"Well, although the money allocated from above is not much, our village cannot let everyone suffer. We will make up for the remaining money in the village. Don't worry, it's just that the price at that time may have changed." Ding Shengli said, He turned around and looked at He Yuming next to him.

When He Yuming saw this, he quickly opened the book in front of him and flipped to the middle. It contained detailed records of everyone's share of the collective hunting at that time and the number of pounds turned in during the subsequent free hunting.

"Ahem, that's it. Now let me check with you everyone's weight and amount. If there is no problem, we will pay according to this. Everyone listen carefully. At the beginning, we were promised 8 cents per catty. , this was a price set taking into account various factors at the time, but now the old party secretary also said that part of the money needs to be paid by the village, and the income of the village is not very ideal, so the price needs to be changed," He Yuming said He paused for a moment to look at everyone's expressions.
