Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 258 Willing to bear all losses this time

Zhu Xuefeng waved his hands repeatedly, directly interrupting the village chief.

"Village Chief, I have to make this clear. I came up with the idea, but you are the one who makes the decision and implements it. You can't say that I came up with the idea. I have to take care of the chicken raising. How about all the raised chickens and the eggs they lay are mine, okay? No, I’ll just say you don’t have the right to do so.”

The village chief blushed and was still defending.

"Uncle You also hatched this chick. If he hadn't insisted on raising chickens after spring, there wouldn't have been such trouble."

Zhu Xuefeng looked at the village chief and then at the village party secretary with a smile.

"Does the old secretary think so too?"

The old branch secretary thought about it several times and found that there was no logical problem. In order to bring the uncle and nephew together, he nodded heavily.

Zhu Xuefeng looked at his second uncle again and said with a smile.

"Second uncle, it seems that you have really done the village a disservice, so from now on it will be good for you to just be a member of the masses. Going to the village to get involved will only make the village passive and cause losses."

The second uncle didn't say anything. He couldn't figure out what the eldest nephew wanted to do. This was not what we were talking about just now.

Zhu Xuefeng turned to the two village cadres again, stood up and bowed, but they were shocked by what the noise was.

"The two leaders, due to the immature ideas and practices of my second uncle and I, have brought trouble and losses to the village. I sincerely apologize and am willing to bear all the losses from this incident."

The village party secretary and the village chief were overjoyed. They tried not to laugh, stood up, and took the initiative to hold Zhu Xuefeng's hand.

At this time, more and more people were gathering around the yard, and the figure of the militia captain could be vaguely seen. It was estimated that he was the one coming from his organization.

The village chief turned to everyone and said:
  "Comrade Xiao Zhu is still very responsible. He said he is responsible for this loss. We all come together to thank Comrade Xiao Zhu."

There was loud applause at the scene, and Zhu Xuefeng raised his hand.

"Dear fellow villagers, my uncle's and I's immature behavior has brought losses to everyone. I hereby solemnly promise that all losses will be borne by me alone!"

When the second uncle and second aunt heard this, they thought, "How can the eldest nephew suffer this? It's unreasonable. What's going on?" Zhu Xuefeng raised his hand to stop him, and then continued.

"Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, and we can't afford to delay it. I suggest that we ask the village now to count the losses from this incident, and then we solve the matter here and there, so that everyone can celebrate the New Year happily tomorrow. "

After a while, the village accountant and women committee member also rushed over, and almost all the village cadres were present.

Zhu Xuefeng turned around and said to the stunned second uncle and confused second aunt.

"Please uncle and aunt, please prepare a room and a table. We will discuss now to see how we can solve this problem."

Several village cadres were whispering in the main room, the second uncle and second aunt were waiting aside, and some villagers were staying in the yard and at the door of the wing, standing, sitting, and squatting, all watching the development. .

The village chief, village party secretary and accountant also wanted to calculate how much feed was needed to solve the problem of the chicken farm. Zhu Yuanfeng smiled and waved his hand.

"No need to go to such trouble, let's calculate the cost. Let's calculate it from the beginning and it will be clear. How much did the village invest in this chicken farm after it was approved by the superiors? How much did it cost to hatch the chicks? How much did it cost to prepare it? Feed? Are there any other expenses? You can list them all as long as they are used in chicken farms!"

Several village cadres couldn't figure out Zhu Xuefeng's thinking, but since Zhu Xuefeng was willing to bear the responsibility, they first calculated the cost according to Zhu Xuefeng's requirements. These things are simple.

The village accountant took the account book and before he spoke, Zhu Xuefeng said directly.

"Let's start from the beginning, one by one. If anyone feels there is something missing, please add it quickly. If there are no objections, then move on to the next step. How about that?"

Several people felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't explain it. Calculating the cost was normal. If you wanted to compensate for the loss, of course you had to check the cost to see if there was anything wrong.

Seeing no one objected, Zhu Xuefeng continued to the next step.

"It's no problem, right? Let's start by hatching chicks. I don't have any objection to that."

Several people looked at each other and nodded.

"no problem."

Villagers in the distance also shouted. "no problem!"

"Then let me ask, how much did it cost to hatch the chicks? How many chicks were hatched?"

"Your second uncle bought the eggs to hatch the chicks, and he also found the person to hatch the chicks. I don't know how much it cost, but a lot of chicks were hatched, and most of them were sold."

Zhu Xuefeng turned to ask his second uncle.

"Second uncle, please speak louder and tell me how much it cost to buy eggs, how much it cost to find someone, and how much it cost to hatch chicks. There must be more than [-] chicks hatched. Where are the other chickens."

The second uncle looked at the second aunt, a little afraid to say it, but the eldest nephew was standing in front, and now he was riding a tiger with difficulty, so he had to say it.

"I spent a total of 16 yuan to buy eggs, 7 yuan to treat people to dinner, and paid 4 yuan for hatching fees. The extra chicks were sold by the village. I don't know how much they sold."

The villagers outside were in an uproar. They agreed that after Zhu Laoer paid so much money and even sold the extra chickens to the village, the money must also be in the village.

Looking at the blushing village party secretary and village chief, Zhu Xuefeng smiled, "16 yuan, this costs hundreds of eggs, not to mention they can all be hatched, but it also costs hundreds of chicks. These chicks are not cheap. If you can buy four or five of them for one dollar, that's a lot. Especially in winter, you can't sell them at all, and the price is even higher.

"Accountant, there must be a record of how much this chicken was sold for."

"Sold for thirty-two and a half yuan, there is a record."

"Is this money in the village?"

The accountant hesitated. "exist"

Zhu Xuefeng's face darkened and he looked at the village chief and secretary.

"It's a no-cost business, and I can still make some money. It's really good!"

The second aunt on the side was also staring at the second uncle, knowing that he had a lot of money, but he didn't expect that he had to pay so much. He was really a prodigal, there were dozens of them, how much can be divided in a year, and this year it was a little more, but it was only ten. One piece?

"Second uncle, you also gave me several cartons of cigarettes. Tell me about them and let everyone know."

The second uncle blushed. "Three big front doors, one for peonies, and one for big production."

This large-scale production must have been bought by the second uncle with his own money, and he had never brought this kind of cigarette.

"Where's the wine?"

"Two bottles of Wuliangye.

It's over, the yard outside is in complete chaos. This Zhu Laoer is really a prodigal. Whose family is not living a tight life? This Zhu Laoer deserves to be killed.

These were all brought back by Zhu Xuefeng. Unexpectedly, the second uncle was not willing to use them and gave them all away. Zhu Xuefeng was really speechless.

Several village cadres were so ashamed that they could not speak.

"What other expenses are there in the future? There is also the cost of making feed in the village last time."

"No, no more."

The village party secretary already knew something was wrong, but there were so many people inside and outside the house that he couldn't stop it. After checking the cost, there was no problem at all.

The accountant glanced at the village party secretary uneasily and continued.

"We made more than [-] kilograms of feed in total, using some corn stubble, and the rest was some green fodder, which is not worth much. There is still a little left."

"Is there more? That's it, right? What about labor? How much manpower and material resources does the village use to raise chickens? Are there dedicated breeders? How many work points are given to the breeders?"

"The chicken farm built a chicken coop, built the chicken farm, and built a fence around the hill. It took a lot of time and effort, but the breeders didn't have any. They were all free-range."

"Really?"

The accountant looked at the village party secretary and nodded.     "It's really gone."

Zhu Xuefeng repeatedly confirmed that there was no other input, then nodded with a smile and said to the village chief and village party secretary.

"I will bear all the losses of this incident according to my promise. Now the calculation has been made very clear in the village. Let me briefly say that the village is preparing to start breeding after the beginning of spring, so the chicken coop and a fence outside, This still needs to be used, it cannot be counted as a loss.”

"The current loss is more than [-] kilograms of feed. As for the eggs, my uncle bought them with the money I gave. This cannot be counted as a loss to the village. The money from selling the chickens should also be returned."

"In this case, I will compensate the village for more than 105 kilograms of feed, and the village will refund the money spent on selling the chickens, and then hand over [-] chickens to me. Is this true?
  The village chief and the village party secretary suddenly turned pale. How could this be the result? But people say it makes sense, and the investment in all processes is very clear.
  The villagers outside were all stunned. Yes, more than 105 kilograms of feed were invested in the village. There was nothing else. There are now [-] chickens. How come they are lost? Zhu Laoer bought the eggs to hatch the chicks, but all the money from selling the chicks went into the village.

Zhu Xuefeng took out thirty yuan and put it on the table and said to the village party secretary.

"You know how much the feed costs per kilogram. I'll pay you ten cents per kilogram. The extra money will be considered shipping cost. Or I can buy more than three hundred kilograms of feed. It's your choice. I can do that!"

"But I have to pay back the money I got from selling the chickens. Also, I have to go back to the city tomorrow. Could you please kill all the 105 chickens in the village? I'll take them away. For every chicken I kill, I'll pay [-] A dime of slaughtering fee!”

Several village cadres were still in a daze, Zhu Xuefeng said with a smile.

"It's the Chinese New Year and everyone is very busy, so I won't disturb the village cadres. You guys can go back first. We have to steam the steamed buns quickly."

This is not right, this is definitely not right! "

The old branch secretary slapped the table and stood up. How could it be calculated? Not only did the village have to pay for it, but it also had to pay for all the chickens. Who was paying for it?
  There were obviously losses in the village, but how could it be calculated over and over again, and it ended up like this?

Zhu Xuefeng turned around, glanced at the village party secretary coldly, and said calmly.

"This is all the investment in the village. It's clear now. Please tell me. If there are any omissions, I will take care of the compensation!"

Several village cadres were speechless. The account was very simple, and what was said just now was very clear. It was the village party secretary who was the first to react.

"Now these one hundred and five chickens are the property of the village, accept this."

Zhu Xuefeng also walked over and stood face to face.

"Old secretary, my second uncle bought the eggs. You didn't pay for the hatching. How come these [-] chickens belong to the village? If you can clear the account for the hatched chickens, it will be fine. "

Yes, the chickens were not from the village, and the chicks were sold, and the money was also in the village. This can't be justified anywhere. In the past, Zhu Laoer didn't care about the gains and losses, and just wanted to raise chickens, and no one took it seriously. Now it seems that there are many problems.

The village party secretary took out the tobacco pot and placed the tobacco leaves shakily. The village chief stepped forward and lit it. The old party secretary took a few puffs and his mood obviously calmed down.

"Okay, we'll figure out the money and make up for it for your second uncle. The chicken is still from the village, no problem."

"Old party secretary, we are in a new society. We are reasonable. Why are you staring at me? You have settled the matter of hatching chickens and made up for it. Who has any reason to ask you for chickens? But you want all these chickens. Keep it? Are you really not going to hatch chicks after spring?"

The old branch secretary was choked by Zhu Xuefeng's rhetorical question and coughed several times. He used this excuse at first just to continue to seduce Zhu Lao Er, who asked him to have a nephew from the city to help him.

The villagers in the yard had already gathered together, young and old. They really didn't expect that in a chicken farm, the old party secretary had tricked Zhu Laoer so much.

The village was given more money this year, only [-] yuan, and it was a little overkill for so many people, all of whom were from the countryside, but the people were still simple and not so showy.

The village party secretary kept his word in the village, and no one objected. The villagers were also accustomed to being honest and listening to the villagers, but there were still some who were bold enough to listen to the shouts in the yard.

"Give Zhu Lao Er the money to make up for it, otherwise this chicken will lay eggs in the future, and I will feel uneasy after eating them, which is a sin."

The other villagers also laughed. It was getting dark anyway, there were so many people in the yard, and the village party secretary couldn't see who was laughing. It was really embarrassing. An old party secretary was cheating on people's honesty.

"Who is making the noise? Shut up. Haven't you seen the cadres negotiating?"

The militia captain stood at the door and yelled, which suppressed his laughter, but everyone was still talking about it.

"Do all the cadres in this village treat the masses like this? They don't allow different voices to be heard, and they can't raise their opinions. They invade the interests of the masses and refuse to repent!"

Zhu Xuefeng said something sinister, and several village cadres felt a chill in their hearts. This guy is so cruel. Last time he bought a little wild boar in a jovial manner, they thought he was a coward and misjudged him.

"Now that it's clear, let me tell you clearly that the village does not take advantage of the masses!"

The old party secretary shouted to the courtyard, suppressing the discussions in the courtyard.

The old party secretary is worthy of his experience and knows that he must reverse today's adverse effects. Otherwise, the village party secretary will be shameless. If someone reports it to the superiors, the matter will be even bigger. He will infringe on the interests of the masses and cannot afford to wear this hat.

The account is very clear and it is not difficult to calculate. It will be clear after a while. The total supply to the Zhu family is fifty-eight and a half yuan.

The old party secretary gritted his teeth, called the militia captain, and gave a few instructions in a low voice. The militia captain and the accountant left in a hurry.

Xiao Hei followed closely, and saw the two of them returning to the village office, taking out an envelope, and clicking on it. The two of them took out their cents, shook their heads, and turned around several more times. They should have gotten it together. Came back in a hurry.

"Now, in front of the villagers, I have made up for what Zhu Laoer paid in advance. I solemnly declare here that the village will never take advantage of anyone. This is a special situation and we haven't figured it out yet. Please don’t spread rumors.”

The old branch secretary looked at Zhu Xuefeng and felt angry. No matter what happened today, this man was really humiliated. He wished he could chop this kid alive, but he came in a jeep and the district chief only had this thing. He really couldn't afford to offend him.

Zhu Xuefeng picked up the cents, clicked them, counted out eight and a half yuan, and left an integer to hand to his second aunt.

"This is eight and a half yuan. We are inviting people to have dinner and drinks. My second uncle is also participating. We will pay for his share ourselves!"

The accountant looked at the village chief and village party secretary, then reached out and took it.

Seeing the village cadres getting ready to leave, Zhu Xuefeng stepped forward.

"I have a few words for a few cadres. If you don't mind, please listen to them before leaving."

Without waiting for several village cadres to express their opinions, they turned around and spoke loudly to everyone in the yard.

"It is the responsibility of village cadres to lead all the people to live a good life. Village cadres must take the lead in solving problems and difficulties, instead of letting the masses charge and give in when they see difficulties!"

"Xiao Zhu, watch your words and don't sow discord between village cadres and the masses."

The village party secretary was a little fussy and warned in a low voice, fearing that the villagers would hear him.

Zhu Xuefeng smiled, did not look back, and whispered something in a low voice. It was not loud, but several cadres should be able to hear it.

"If you have the ability, say it loudly. How can a cadre with such a big heart achieve great things? If you can't do it, get out of here, or I will go to the city to sue you!"

The old party secretary had a fever, and was told by a young boy that he had no heart in front of his face. If he tried to defend himself again, wouldn't he just fall into a trap?

But not to defend is not to acquiesce. He clenched a fist on his skinny palm, and his heart was filled with anger.

One hand reached over and gently patted the old party secretary's fist. The old party secretary looked up and looked at the female director. The female director was younger than him, but he had been a village cadre for a long time, and he was already qualified to be a village cadre.

Only the female director in the village could persuade him. Others did not have the courage. The female director shook his head and whispered.

"We really did something wrong in this matter, you shouldn't have...".

The old party secretary slowly relaxed his clenched fists, closed his eyes, and slowly calmed down. No one had criticized himself like this in many years.

It took me a long time to open my eyes. Today I was passive. I was obsessed with my own thoughts, and my petty calculations were aimed at the masses. But it was also for the sake of the village. I didn't take any advantage. I had a clear conscience.

But now it seems that I was wrong. I can't see the light of my little thoughts. Just look at the reaction of the people and I will know that I have failed today. I really need to pay more attention to my methods in the future. Otherwise, I will be too passive. I should avoid provoking this old Zhu family in the future. Good.

Zhu Xuefeng didn't notice the change of the village party secretary. When the courtyard became quiet, he continued. The village chief stepped forward and wanted to stop him, but was grabbed by the old party secretary who had just opened his eyes.

Looking at the village chief, the old secretary said in a low voice: "Let him say that what he did in this matter is a bit unfair. If he is wrong, he should be criticized. Besides, we can't stop him."

"If you have any difficulties, go to the organization or your superiors. Who can be troubled by a little feed? Besides, how many pheasants have you seen starving to death in the mountains?"

　Something unexpected happened. I was running around for two days. I fell asleep before 12:00 when I got home. The update was a bit late.
