Reborn in 1977

Live poultry order delivery, gradual resolution of transportation issues, cooked food cooking and salesperson training, renovation and opening of cooked food workshops and stores in the county, management of personnel going to the county, financial management and handover procedures…

An Quan listed the items one by one and discussed them with everyone. Chen Fan also offered suggestions, noting down several pages of details.

After writing, he exhaled a long breath, lit another cigarette, looked at everyone, picked up the notebook and said, "Let me summarize. The order delivery is divided into two parts. Lao Ye is responsible for the preparation work within the team, and Sanhu is responsible for the overall transportation and delivery."

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Shubao. Ye Shubao took a sip of tea and nodded, "I can guarantee there will be no problems."

After a pause, he added, "Sanhu is out for training. I will relay his work to him."

Chen Fan said from the side, "Team Leader Ye, I have a suggestion."

Ye Shubao looked at him, "What is it?"

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Why don't we just set up a transportation team? After all, Brother Sanhu is the militia company commander and the director of public security. It's better to have a legitimate title to bring him in to do transportation. Also, when the two large ships are put into use one after another, we can completely turn the transportation team into a side business.

No matter how small a mosquito's leg is, it's still meat. When the time comes, we can see if other production teams or even the commune have goods to be transported to the county or the district committee. Anyway, Nanhut Commune doesn't have a freight unit, so we're not robbing anyone's job. I don't think even the motorcade will object."

"Turn the transportation team into a side business?"

Ye Shubao frowned, pondered for two seconds, and then turned to look at Secretary Yang and Team Leader Zhang.

They both fell into deep thought.

After a moment, they both nodded.

Team Leader Zhang said as he thought, "I think this is a good idea. Although there aren't many goods going back and forth from the commune to the county and the district committee, there are still some occasionally.

Our commune's water transport company generally doesn't take small businesses. All the transportation is arranged by the commune or higher authorities. They don't care about small quantities of goods like our live poultry, so we can only pull a cart to transport it ourselves. If we set up a transportation team, we should still be able to pick up some scraps."

Secretary Yang smiled while smoking, "I have no objection either."

In any case, whether it is a cooked food workshop or a transportation team, everyone receives fixed work points, and the income generated is managed by the brigade headquarters, which has no substantial impact on him.

But it's not without benefits. Setting up a transportation team and waiting for the two large ships to arrive can also be said to be the second side business unit of Lujiawan Brigade, which can be impressive to others.

Seeing that this proposal was successfully passed, Chen Fan smiled silently from the side.

His idea is very simple: first separate the transportation team, and when the time is right, it can be developed into a logistics company in a logical manner. Saying a word in advance can save a lot of trouble in the future, so why not do it?

Moreover, the transportation industry belongs to the service industry, just like the previous construction team. They all rely on "skills" to make a living. As long as they don't touch the taboo of industrial production, there will be basically no problems.

So An Quan muttered and recorded this item, "The transportation team is independent. Why are there more and more things?"

Chen Fan just said a word, and Secretary Yang just nodded, but what he thought of was that since there is a transportation team, then equipment, venues, personnel, and multiple issues including helmsmen, sailors, mechanics, dispatchers, etc. must be considered.

If it is not independent, at least there is no need for a dispatcher, and other manpower can also be appropriately compressed. It is enough to send goods to the district committee and the county every day. Why else would you need to consider others?

After recording this item, he continued to discuss other matters.

Chen Fan is naturally responsible for the training, which can be done in the next two or three days, as long as it is ready before September 1st.

Today is August 22nd, so there is definitely enough time.

As for the decoration, it will be handed over to the construction teams of the 4th and 6th teams, with two or three "regular army" master craftsmen from the 4th team, and the "toilet construction team" from the 6th team will be responsible for the implementation.

Uh, although it's not very nice to bring the toilet construction team to decorate the food store, there's no one else to find at the moment. The commune's construction team is busy, and besides, it costs money to hire others, so of course we have to do it ourselves.

The big deal is to change their name. In the future, they will be uniformly called the "Lujiawan Decoration Team" to distinguish them from the commune's construction team, which sounds better.

Well, that's it.

As for personnel management and financial process docking, Secretary Yang and Ye Shubao will naturally worry about it.

This is also their job, as it should be.

After the arrangements were made, An Quan put away the notebook and said with a smile, "During this period, Lujiawan has been in the limelight in Nanhut Commune. Not to mention building a cooked food workshop and opening a store in the county, the construction of a small water tower, the expansion of the village school, and the study class and study room of the brigade headquarters are all talked about…"

Team Leader Zhang was about to speak with a chuckle when Chen Fan asked, "By the way, how is the expansion of the village school going? And how is the study class doing now?"

As soon as these words came out, Secretary Yang, Team Leader Zhang, Ye Shubao, An Quan, and Yang Xingxiu all turned to look at him, their eyes full of speechlessness.

Secretary Yang sighed quietly, "Xiao Chen, I know you are very busy, busy with this and busy with that, but you proposed the village school and the study class. Can you pay a little more attention to it?"

Chen Fan said with confidence, "I have paid attention to it. Aren't I asking now?"

One sentence made Secretary Yang's blood pressure soar, and he felt unwell. He could only smoke his cigarette in anger.

Yang Xingxiu said with a helpless face, "This matter was originally managed by Team Leader Zhang, but he is also busy, so it was handed over to me. Let me tell you about it.

First of all, including Xiao'e, there are a total of 20 students in the study class. They have 3 hours of intensive study every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. Xiao'e mainly teaches politics, language, mathematics, physics, chemistry, history, and geography. It's not that all courses are taught every time, but they are rotated, with three or four subjects taught each time. And it's not all taught by Xiao'e. Occasionally, students who have made rapid progress will also be asked to teach. However, everyone's progress has been quite fast, and they have almost learned the content of junior high school."

Chen Fan nodded slightly after listening. He had been cultivating the basic knowledge of these people since before the New Year, and he had also opened a teaching halo to give them a few lessons before.

Moreover, the content of primary school textbooks at this time is relatively simple. If they haven't learned junior high school, then it can only be said that the person is not suitable for learning, and it is better to find a job in the production team as soon as possible.

Yang Xingxiu paused for two seconds, seeing that Chen Fan didn't intend to speak, and continued, "The progress on the elementary school side is also good. In about three months, everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared.

Teacher Xiao continues to serve as the principal, responsible for teaching the 1st grade. All twelve veterinarians have been scheduled, with two each day from Monday to Saturday, one responsible for the 2nd grade and one for the 3rd grade."

Hearing this, Chen Fan nodded as usual. After waiting for two seconds and not hearing Yang Xingxiu speak, he looked up and asked, "What about the 4th and 5th grades?"

Yang Xingxiu smiled helplessly and said, "There are no 4th or 5th grades."

At this time, Secretary Yang took over, tapping his pipe and saying, "I personally oversaw the enrollment for this matter, requiring all children aged 7 to 12 to return to school. Those under 15 can also voluntarily request to return to school. Tuition is tentatively set at one yuan per semester, with food provided by the family. Families with special difficulties can apply for tuition reduction or exemption."

The so-called 'families with special difficulties' are those who have trouble even getting enough to eat.

In a place like Lujiawan, there are only two reasons for this: laziness or having too many children.

Even Secretary Yang and the others didn't have a good solution. What could they do? They could only prepare a little more relief grain to prevent them from starving to death.

These thoughts flashed through Chen Fan's mind, and he couldn't help but smile wryly. There was no helping the lazy ones, even if a deity came. As for those with too many children, things would only get better when the children grew up.

Fortunately, there weren't many lazy people in Lujiawan, only a few individuals. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to settle here.

The reason he chose Lujiawan, besides initially ending up here, was also related to the people here. They were hardworking, kind, and there were many beautiful young women. Of course, the last point wasn't the main reason. In any case, for Chen Fan, a good living environment was very important, and people were the most important aspect!

Secretary Yang continued, "There are currently 97 students enrolled, averaging eight people per team. Including the original dozen or so children in the school, that's enough for three digits, making it the 'largest school' after the central elementary school in Nanhugong Commune."

The situation in other production team village schools was similar to Lujiawan, with two grades and twenty or thirty people. In comparison, Lujiawan Village Elementary School was indeed the largest.

He took a sip of water, then smacked his lips and said with a wry smile, "After registering the students, Teacher Xiao gave them an entrance test to facilitate class placement. As a result, most of the children were only at the first-grade level. Only twenty or so were at the second-grade level, and even fewer at the third-grade level, barely enough for ten people."

He sighed deeply, "So, it's enough to have three grades in school now. We'll talk about the fourth grade next year."

Chen Fan suddenly understood. After clarifying the situation, he smiled and said, "That's right. Those of the right age who are willing to study on their own and reach the higher grade level are basically in the veterinary class. It's already good that the remaining ones can reach the third-grade level. Everything is difficult at the beginning, so let's take it slow."

Hearing him say this, Yang Xingxiu felt much better.

She smiled at Chen Fan and said, "School starts on September 1st. Will you come and attend?"

Chen Fan scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

If he went, he would definitely be pulled onto the stage to speak, but he hated that kind of thing the most and would avoid it as much as possible.

But he was the one who proposed expanding the village school, and there wasn't a suitable reason…

That's right.

Chen Fan's expression immediately changed, and he said with a troubled face, "I would like to go, but isn't it September 1st? The cooked food store in the county will be opening, and I also have to go to the district committee. The leaders of the health department are so generous, pulling the health school and several hospitals to order so many chickens, ducks, and geese from us, including both live poultry and cooked food. I have to go and show my appreciation."

Hearing this, Secretary Yang and the others nodded in unison, expressing their understanding.

Team Leader Zhang said, "We'll keep an eye on the school. The county and the district committee will have to trouble you."

Chen Fan smiled, "It's not a trouble. I'll do my best."

As long as I don't have to speak publicly.

… …

The next day, Chen Fan arrived at Team 5 early to train the female workers in the cooked food workshop.

As soon as he arrived, he found the brigade headquarters surrounded by a large crowd.

If these people weren't in stable condition and there was laughter, Chen Fan would have thought something major had happened.

As soon as he appeared, countless greetings rang out.

"Teacher Chen is here."

"Good morning, Teacher Chen."

"Teacher Chen, my Guixiang has been selected to work in the workshop. Please take care of her."

"Teacher Chen, my Mingying is a salesperson. She is quite clever, but she hasn't seen the world. Please help her."

Chen Fan dismounted, let the little mare go to the stable on her own, and walked towards the brigade headquarters while smiling and greeting everyone.

He knew who these people were.

Today is the official start of training. Most of the female workers who need training have already entered the brigade headquarters. The people outside are either their family members or people who have come to watch the excitement. It is estimated that each team has ten or eight people accompanying them. A hundred people crowded at the entrance of the brigade headquarters, how could it not be lively.

Chen Fan walked inside and saw 30 female comrades in the study room. In addition to the original 18 workers, there were 12 reserves.

Yang Xingxiu told them that it was to prepare for opening stores and expanding the workshop in the future, so they all came happily.

These people were not very old. The oldest was only 28 years old and a mother of two children. The youngest was only 18 years old, married last year, and had just given birth to a child, but she had never been to school for a day. She only learned to write her name in the literacy class.

Seeing Chen Fan coming, Yang Xingxiu immediately walked over and whispered, "Everyone is here. Do you want to say a few words?"

Chen Fan immediately shook his head, "I won't say anything. See if you have anything to say."

Yang Xingxiu nodded lightly, turned around and looked at everyone, "Comrades, Teacher Chen is here now. Let me say a few words first."

Chen Fan stood aside with a smile. It's the characteristic of the times, understandable.

Anyway, as long as I don't have to speak.
