Chapter 927 Captain Chen Arrives
The team leader and Secretary Xu went to the commune, stated their position, and then dropped the matter.
Since the commune leaders are taking care of it anyway, they shouldn't just follow suit.
If no production team is willing to accept them later, given what the two of them said before, it would be difficult for Secretary Yan to force the Red Star Production Team to accept them again.
After all, although each family has many children and they are not worth much, the villagers would not be so heartless as to keep the Wang family in the production team even though they knew they were in contact with human traffickers, putting the children, girls and young wives in the production team in danger.
The next afternoon, the Red Star Production Team welcomed the team leader of the Liushugou Production Team.
Liushugou is the production team closest to the Red Star Production Team. The two production teams have frequent interactions and can be said to be on the same page in some matters.
The captain was sitting on his own kang smoking a pipe. He looked at Captain Chen who was welcomed in by his wife and couldn't help but laugh and scold,
"You old fellow, it's so cold, why are you coming to our production team instead of staying at home to winter?
You don't come here for no reason, there must be something wrong."
Captain Chen glared at him unhappily, "You are asking this question knowing the answer.
I don’t believe you can’t guess my intention.”
Upon hearing this, the captain stopped pretending and asked Captain Chen to sit down, and Wu Sufen quickly served him tea.
"Why? Could it be that Secretary Yan arranged for the Wang family to live in your Liushugou?"
Captain Chen took the tea brought by Wu Sufen, thanked him, took a few sips, and placed the bowl on the kang table.
"Do you think I'm so stupid that I would accept the people kicked out by your production team into our production team?
The members of your Red Star Production Team are much easier to talk to than those in our production team. If you can't tolerate them, how can that family be good people?
How could I be so stupid as to accept it? "
The team leader raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why didn't the commune leaders explain to you? Why were the Wang family kicked out of our production team?"
"The leaders are so stupid that if they were to speak out, I'm afraid no production team would be willing to take them in.
He just said something evasively, which was so vague and confusing that it left people completely confused."
The team leader was a little curious about which production team the Wang family would end up in.
He asked Captain Chen, "Which production team did they go to in the end?"
“Where else can I go?
The reputation of your Red Star Production Team is also known to the production teams in our Qianjin Commune.
How can that family be good people if they can force you and Lao Xu to kick them out of the house?
Everyone was pushing each other, and no one wanted to accept it.
Finally, Secretary Yan was forced into a corner and had to issue a death order, ordering the production team to take it down.
But it wasn’t for nothing. Secretary Yan promised some benefits, otherwise the old man would not have been willing to accept it.”
At this point, Captain Chen shook his head and said, "That family would be in trouble if they were sent to that production team, because there are many ruthless people in that team.
The production team was a clan-based force, with each clan sticking together.
This family of four went in, and they were just small shrimps waiting for food, and they were eaten till not even a bone was left. "
“By the way, what did that family do?
You have a much better temper than me and you don't get angry easily.
What on earth did that family do to make you angry and drive them out?"
The relationship between the two production teams was there. Besides, since the old man had come, he would not give up unless he got the truth. So the team leader did not hide anything from him and told him the whole story.
Of course, the words were the same as what they said in the commune, hiding their private calculations.
After listening to the captain's explanation, Captain Chen said without comment,
“In my opinion, you just use this as an excuse to drive them out.
It's just that you have such good intentions. If they want to sell their own children, then just let them do it. As parents, they don't feel any pain, but you, as outsiders, feel pain.
In our countryside, people give their children away or sell them because they can't afford to raise them. There are so many such cases. Can you control them?"
Captain Chen's idea is a common idea among country people of this era, so it is not surprising for the captain.
He didn't want to waste time explaining anything to this person.
He just said lightly, "I can't control other people, but in the Red Star Production Team, I will not allow such things to happen.
If you can't afford to raise a child, you can give him or her away to raise. I have no objection to that, but the person giving the child away must be reliable.
As for selling children for money, that is absolutely not allowed.”
"It's not that the Wang family can't afford to support a child, they simply favor boys over girls and don't like girls.
Women hold up half the sky, so what's wrong with being girls?
If you don't want it, why did you give birth to it?"
Captain Chen came here today, not only to find out what that family had done in order to kick them out, but he also had another purpose.
He didn't want to get things done, so he had a quarrel with the captain and ruined his plans.
So even though I disagreed in my heart, I didn't say much and quickly changed the subject.
In fact, Captain Chen had wanted to come a long time ago, but he felt that if he showed up rashly, it would be like prying into other people's secrets, so he kept putting it off.
The commune finally gave him an excuse, so he rushed over.
Team leader Chen asked casually, "By the way, your production team had a very comfortable Spring Festival this year.
Could it be that they slaughtered all the chickens, ducks and geese at home for meat? Why did they go to various production teams one by one to exchange them for fertilized eggs?
If you want to eat meat, you can just go into the mountains and get some before the New Year. How come the bank doesn’t even want chicken butts?
It takes several months to hatch the eggs and raise the cubs until they can lay eggs. This is not a waste of time."
The captain's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but he remained expressionless.
The captain had already anticipated today's scene.
After all, the two production teams were close to each other and they intermarried. Over the years, many villagers in the two production teams were related by marriage.
The team leader had already anticipated this by asking each family in the production team to exchange more fertilized eggs.
The team leader knew that their production team's breeding program would not be kept secret for long, but he still wanted to keep it secret for as long as possible.
After listening to Captain Chen's questions, the captain gave the excuse he had prepared long ago.
"It's not that the villagers in our production team slaughtered all the chickens, ducks and geese for meat. Have you forgotten the two plagues last year?"
In the first half of last year, the team leader sent someone to investigate the chicken plague and confirmed that it was not only their production team that encountered it, but other production teams had also encountered it.
Even the swine fever in August was not unique to their production team.
"Due to those two plagues, our production team suffered heavy losses, and many people's chickens, ducks and geese were affected."
Although the captain's explanation sounded convincing, Captain Chen still had some doubts.
He couldn't help but question, "Didn't everyone raise them again after the plague was over?"
The captain drank a sip of water slowly and said, "Who dares? Who knows whether the plague has passed.
It wasn't just two months ago that the plague recurred.
It’s a new year now, so everyone dares to start doing this again.
During the hibernation period, we need to heat the kang and hatch the cubs at the same time."
After the captain finished speaking, he deliberately asked Captain Chen, "From what you said, the losses during the plague last year were not great, so you don't need to make up for it?"
After all, they are on someone else's territory, so how could Captain Chen rub salt into someone else's wounds?
Therefore, although their production team did not suffer much loss last year, he also hurriedly said, “Didn’t everyone suffer the same heavy losses?
It’s just that our villagers raised them again after a while, unlike you who had to wait until this year.”
"This is not a sign of fear. Be careful."
"Be careful, be careful," Captain Chen said hurriedly.
Looking at Captain Chen like this, the captain didn't know whether he believed it or not.
He made up his mind that he had to save enough fertilized eggs for the end of the year and he could no longer go to the production teams to look for them.
As for the production team’s breeding business, we should tell everyone about it and ask them not to disclose it to outsiders.
Thinking of the Wang family who were kicked out of the production team, the team leader frowned. It seemed that he had to find a way to make the Wang family shut up.
Thinking of the Wang family’s belongings kept in the brigade headquarters, the brigade leader was not worried about not being able to see the Wang family.
