Era: Starting from cave dwellings in northern Shaanxi

Chapter 283 Happy Event in Shuangshui Bay
The next morning, under the urging of Zhang Guihua, Sun Xiangyang went to visit his father's grave and naturally talked about his recent situation.

In Zhang Guihua's words, the fact that he could become the branch secretary was because smoke was coming out of his ancestral graves. If he didn't burn some paper money in those graves, who would bless him in the future?
Sun Xiangyang did not comment on this. What's wrong with making Zhang Guihua happy?
In the following period, the members of Shuangshuiwan all felt the changes clearly, especially the cadres of the brigade, who seemed to be chased by someone with a whip.

In this atmosphere, they will work harder even if no one supervises them.

During this period, two major events occurred in Shuangshui Bay.

The first thing, of course, is to pay salaries.

After the settlement at the coal mine, Sun Qingyu directly paid three months' salary, which caused a stir in Shuangshui Bay.

Before, no matter how good the words sounded, whether it was twenty or thirty work points a day, it was not really in the hands after all. So even though everyone had hope in their hearts, they believed that Shuangshui Bay would get better and better.

But none of these hopes would make them feel more at ease than actually getting the money into their hands.

This also brought Sun Xiangyang's prestige in Shuangshui Bay to a real peak.

The second thing is that Shuangshuiwan now has a supply and marketing cooperative.

Sun Xiangyang actually had plans for this matter a long time ago and had been pushing it forward, but the county supply and marketing cooperative was not very enthusiastic and was even reluctant.

Because building a supply and marketing cooperative in Shuangshuiwan is only beneficial to Shuangshuiwan, but it is actually a troublesome thing for the supply and marketing cooperative.

In the future, not only will we have to supply goods to Shuangshui Bay, we will also have to send people here.

Nowadays, sales clerks in the supply and marketing cooperatives are in great demand and people are vying for the position. Naturally, those who can work as sales clerks in the supply and marketing cooperatives are not ordinary people. In the county, they are naturally happy to do so.

But who would be willing to come to this poor mountain valley of Shuangshuiwan?

As for recruiting salesmen from Shuangshuiwan, the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative were not satisfied. After all, there was one job for each person, and after recruiting people, they had to pay them wages. Besides, how could it make sense to recruit after-sales staff in Shuangshuiwan?

They are also worried that there will be embezzlement in Shuangshui Bay.

So, this matter has been delayed. People have not said that they will not come to build the supply and marketing cooperative, but when they will come depends on their mood.

However, the last time money was stolen in Shuangshuiwan, it was finally found out that it was the people who delivered the goods by tractors from the county supply and marketing cooperative, but it was like a slap in the face to those people.

But for the supply and marketing cooperatives, this is a real scandal.

If the situation really gets out of hand, someone from the supply and marketing cooperative's leadership will have to take responsibility.

So, after some friendly negotiations, the focus of stealing the money was placed on Xu Biao's younger brother. After all, the other party was not a worker in the supply and marketing cooperative, but only occasionally followed his brother to deliver goods.

Although Xu Biao still couldn't escape the fate of being shot, at least the supply and marketing cooperative had something to say, which could alleviate a lot of responsibility.

The result was that the supply and marketing cooperative in Shuangshui Bay was quickly set up.

When wages were paid in Shuangshuiwan, the supply and marketing cooperative finally opened.

After receiving the money, the Shuangshuiwan members quickly cleared out all the goods on the shelves of the supply and marketing cooperative, and even bought many unnecessary things and took them home without any care.

The rush to buy only came to an end when many people had spent all their money.

I won’t mention whether I will regret it or not.

Sun Xiangyang understands their mentality. They are used to being poor and afraid of being poor, so they can't control themselves when they have money.

Fortunately, even if I spend all my salary, it’s only three months’ salary, and I will continue to receive it later.

And after this experience, I will be able to control myself when I get paid next time and return to my previous thrifty way. In fact, even Zhang Guihua couldn't help herself and bought a lot of things.

Even most people are blindly following the trend, which is a kind of herd mentality.

Compared with the people in Shuangshuiwan, those recruited from other production teams in the surrounding area were obviously much more restrained. Although some people bought some things, most of them rushed home as soon as possible and gave all the three-month wages to their families.

For example, Chen Haijun, whose family was poor, borrowed a lot of money to come to Shuangshuiwan Coal Mine, and was finally "selected". This time when he got his salary, he took it all home to pay off his debts first.

As for the rest, I will pay it back after my next salary.

It’s not that he owed so much money at one time, but it was foreign debt that had accumulated over the years.

In the past, these foreign debts made Chen Haijun feel suffocated, but now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

This was also the reason why he did not dare to offend Sun Enfa before and would rather be blackmailed by the other party than stay in Shuangshui Bay.

Why won't you bow down for a few pieces of silver? It's because the burden on your shoulders is not heavy enough.

Receiving the salary this time made Chen Haijun even more determined that he must seize this opportunity and work hard in Shuangshui Bay.

At the same time, the salary payment in Shuangshuiwan once again made several surrounding production brigades jealous.

In the past, although they were jealous, they also understood that it was Shuangshui Bay’s business and had nothing to do with them.

But this time, some of their own people also received wages there.

Especially when they found out that these people received the same salary as those in Shuangshui Bay without any deduction, their jealousy reached its peak.

Why not them?
Or, why not them?
As a result, more dissatisfied people began to find their own team leaders or branch secretaries, asking for "fairness".

This made the cadres both happy and worried.

They were happy because many of the people who had been able to go to Shuangshui Bay before were their children, nephews, and close relatives.

The worry is that now everyone is clamoring to go to Shuangshuiwan, and some are even clamoring to go to the commune and the county to sue them, intending to overturn the table.

This made them hesitate whether they should go to Shuangshuiwan to discuss whether they could add ten or eight more places to appease their members.

However, they all knew that Shuangshuiwan had changed its branch secretary, and they had heard of Sun Xiangyang's name countless times, but few of them had actually dealt with Sun Xiangyang.

Most of what I know about Sun Xiangyang's personality was heard from others.

No one can guarantee whether the other party is any different from the old man Sun Yude when he was the branch secretary.

More importantly, the other party is too young.

Not to mention the production brigades under the jurisdiction of the commune, even if you count all the production brigades in the entire region, he is the only one who can become the party secretary at this age.

Being young often means being impulsive and not as calm as these old guys. To put it bluntly, they don’t know how to compromise and make deals.

This makes many things difficult to discuss.

Despite this, they still gathered in Shuangshui Bay, ready to give it a try.
