Chapter 146: Helping the manager or not helping the bride
If this is the case, things are not that simple. Gu Wan said she would go back and discuss it with her family.
Similarly, Wei Wanrong was also very straightforward and said that she would go back and count how many people needed fresh vegetables.
Of course, Wei Wanrong also reminded Gu Wan that a small amount could be handled by individuals, but if the amount was large...
Gu Wan smiled and said, "Aunt Wei, I know this is to generate income for the villagers, so I plan to go back and discuss it with the team leader."
Wei Wanrong nodded, smiling but couldn't help sighing in her heart.
The difference will be very obvious after such a comparison. Even though Wang Xiuxiu is her own daughter, Wei Wanrong cannot say that she will only help her relative and not her husband.
If she were that gay man, I'm afraid she would also choose the more outstanding Comrade Gu Wan.
And after that incident, the old man had a rage at home, and the eldest son confessed the truth.
He only mentioned that he wanted to introduce her to his sister and comrades, but Comrade Qi Bin refused at the beginning. Everything was just his sister's wishful thinking.
But Wang Xiuxiu fabricated bad things about Gu Wan in front of the family, and she said it so confidently that Wei Wanrong never doubted it at the beginning.
Facts have proved that Wang Xiuxiu lies without hesitation and looks down on ordinary working people.
There are problems in thinking, and this is what hurts Wei Wanrong the most. She believes that although she is busy with work, she does not relax at home and has always given the two children the same care.
But why did my daughter become like this?
Especially when compared with Gu Wan's outstandingness, Wei Wanrong broke out in a cold sweat. If this continued, Xiu Xiu would be really ruined.
Not to mention that the Wang family was determined to correct their youngest daughter's wrong ideas, they were also thinking about making it up to Gu Wan, and Mr. Wang really appreciated this younger generation.
Wei Wanrong mentioned it casually, and both of them were very satisfied. If this thing could be done, it would be a mutually beneficial thing.
Not to mention the compound where they lived, but also some of the nearby families, those who had dealings with the Wang family were all prominent officials in the county.
But in that era of material scarcity, even cadres lacked fresh vegetables to eat.
Originally, Gu Wan thought that she could also collect some vegetables in the village. As long as they could be stored in the red envelope group’s storage cabinet, she could then put them on sale in the mall.
However, if you just want to bring vegetables to friends in the commune, it would be a small batch of a few kilograms at most.
These were collected under the supervision of family members. It’s impossible for something like this to disappear out of thin air right under everyone’s noses, right?
So far, Gu Wan has only purchased handicrafts and some work. He has thought about fresh vegetables, but has never put it into action.
Now, Secretary Wei found the perfect excuse for her to harvest more vegetables in the village so that she could consume them herself.
Moreover, if this matter is done well, it will not only increase the income of the team, but also provide an additional job for my family.
In fact, some villagers also rushed to the commune and the county town to set up stalls to sell vegetables. The old educated youth who came here before were also very enthusiastic. They not only helped the villagers pick vegetables for free, but also carried baskets on their backs and took a bus to the county town to go to the market the next day.
But everyone had no experience in small business. To be honest, they were not the only ones who knew how to set up stalls at the market. As a result, most of the products they brought back were spoiled.
Because of that incident, the relationship between the villagers and those who knew about it deteriorated further. Although it didn't reach the point where they hated each other, it was almost there.
Since then, the educated youth would no longer take the initiative to offer to help the village with cultural construction or anything like that.
The poverty of Hongqi Brigade was due to its remote location, but also because most of the villagers were conservative. They had little education and looked down on the educated youth. As a result, both sides had their own advantages but they were not properly utilized.
To be honest, now the relationship between the villagers and the educated youth has improved a lot only because Gu Wan serves as a bridge between them.
Now that Gu Zhiqiang has brought collective benefits to the Red Flag Brigade, Gu Wan also plans to try and see if he can contribute his own part.
So after returning, Gu Wan went to discuss the matter with the team leader, and the ideas she came up with were not just based on Secretary Wei.
After all, people don’t necessarily need to buy vegetables every day. If the customer base is not fixed, sales will naturally be affected, and it may also dampen the enthusiasm of the villagers as before.
Since Gu Wan is determined to help the villagers generate income, he must do this better and reduce the risks as much as possible.
Finding a fixed customer base is the most urgent task. The commune is still too small, so Gu Wan decided to go to the county town.
In the county, the supply and marketing cooperatives have their own channels for purchasing goods, and someone like Gu Wan cannot get involved and doesn't want to waste the energy on it.
What she thought of was to try the state-owned restaurant.
After all, Gu Wan had eaten in the county town several times. Every time at mealtime, the state-owned restaurants were doing very good business and demand could not keep up with supply.
Gu Wan told the captain about her idea, and Gu Baoguo was still a little hesitant at first.
"Do you know the head of the supply and marketing cooperative?"
Gu Wan shook her head. Seeing that the captain's face was obviously disappointed, she did not hold back and spoke her mind directly.
After all, Gu Wan knew that the captain was a direct relative of his family and they had always had a good relationship.
The main reason was that she also believed in the captain's character. He had been working diligently in the Red Flag Brigade over the years and had always wanted to make life better for the villagers.
After listening to his niece's words, Gu Baoguo kept shaking his head and said with a smile: "It's true, you intellectuals have different brains."
He knew that it was Qi Bin who helped Gu Lao San come up with the idea of cooperating with the hospital. This educated man is better than them, the country bumpkins.
If there is a chance, all children in the village should be allowed to go to school, and it would be best if a primary school could be built in the brigade.
This is currently just Gu Baoguo’s innermost thought. What he doesn’t know is that Gu Wan has brought vitality and hope to their Red Flag Brigade.
This idea can be realized soon!
With the captain's consent, it will be very convenient to get letters of introduction and certificates.
It was also convenient to ask for leave at the commune, or even no leave was needed. Gu Wan could just ask her mother to help with the work for a day.
Anyway, Qiao Yuemei's craftsmanship has been recognized by the commune leaders, and now the commune's top two leaders have a good relationship with Gu Wan, so no one will make things difficult for her.
Because it is something that benefits everyone, both Gu Baoguo and Gu Wan are very motivated.
After they had discussed it, Gu Baoguo went back and held a small meeting at the brigade headquarters, and then directly notified the people in the production team.
Of course not all of them, but the team that Gu Wan's family belongs to. They mainly follow the eldest niece's suggestion to prepare some dishes and take them to the county to try.
