The golden age began in 1977

Chapter 69 The Headquarters Takes Office
"The sun is shining on my buttocks, but I'm still standing there!"

Early in the morning, Qian Jin took a stack of big red papers and pulled Xu Weidong out of bed, and took him to work together.

The captains of the five teams reported to him.

He stood at the front, looking at the listless appearance of more than fifty people, and suddenly thought of the bees fixed with pins in the middle school specimen room.

Although it is neat, it feels lifeless.

He understands.

The labor commando team is not a good place. Anyone who has a way out has left. Those who remain here are actually what the citizens call "blind migrants."

Qian Jin called the five team leaders over and handed them the big red paper: "Each community should choose someone with good popularity to post this."

"Posting big newspapers? Are we going to fight against someone?" Wang Dong looked excited.

Qian Jin rolled his eyes: "The world has changed, comrade, don't even think about fighting anyone anymore."

"I'm planning to organize a study group in our neighborhood, and I'm going to use Room 204 next door as a classroom for the study group."

"Spread the word, let everyone in the neighborhood know that I don't want to occupy 204, I want to use that house to serve the people!"

Wang Dong disagreed: "I see, Captain Qian, you want to be a whore and also want a virtuous figure."

This made Qian Jin angry.

If even this beast with muscles but no brains on its head can see through Qian Jin's thoughts, then from now on, won't all the residents know Qian Jin's intentions?
But he had no better idea, and he knew that if he waited a few more days, once the college entrance examination notice was published in the newspaper, his archway would be successfully erected.

Some team members went to post notices and newspapers, while others went to work.

Qian Jin asked the team leader and the party members to stay and said, "Old Xu, you should stay too. Let's have a meeting together."

The theme of the meeting is simple and clear:

"Comrades, you all joined the labor commando team earlier than I did, so naturally you know more about this team than I do."

"The Labor Commando Corps is nominally a team with a large number of talented people, but in reality it is a loose group!"

"This won't work. We must find a way to rally people's hearts and minds and truly become a combat-ready team that truly serves the people!"

The captains laughed out loud.

Xu Weidong, consciously acting as Qian Jin's lackey, scolded:
"What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at? Serve up, everyone! You must take Captain Qian seriously and not treat him like shit!"

Qian Jin suspected that this grandson was getting too arrogant.

Xu Weidong then said, "Captain Qian has a lot of power. You won't suffer any loss if you follow him."

"How did I get this skin? Wasn't it Captain Qian who came up with this? So think about it, as long as you follow him and work hard, sooner or later you will be as successful as me..."

"Hey, hey, hey, shut up!" Qian Jin quickly interrupted him.

"What's with all that rapid advancement? We are comrades, revolutionary comrades! We are here to serve the people, not to seek personal gain!"

Xu Weidong pulled him away and whispered, "Old Qian, we're all adults now. We've all been to the countryside and experienced the hardships of life, so you're not fooling them!"

Qian Jin said: "I didn't fool them."

Xu Weidong looked at him straight in the eye: "Are you kidding?"

"Nonsense!" Qian Jin glared at him.

Xu Weidong chuckled, "Then don't blame me for being blunt. If you want to dream, go to bed; that's cool. If you want to make a wish, go to the temple; that's reliable."

Qian Jin raised his middle finger at him: "Waste!"

He replied, "Let's cut to the chase and get straight to the point. The Labor Commando must become a people's force capable of fighting tough battles and winning them!"

Everyone was dumbfounded and started whispering to each other.

Qian Jin lowered his wrist: "I understand everyone's concerns."

"The labor commandos have no social status and no salary. Even if we serve our neighbors, the neighbors on the street still look down on us, right?"

Wang Dong said, "Captain Qian, you understand this principle, so why are you still making things difficult for us?"

Qian Jin said, "How could I embarrass you? Quite the opposite!"

"I want to tell you all, since you have chosen me to be the leader of this labor commando team, I must be responsible for you all!"

"I will not let you down. I will lead everyone out of the quagmire and onto the road to light!"

The team leaders and party members looked at each other, suddenly realized what was going on, and quickly applauded.

Wang Dong said to his left and right, "I didn't realize that Captain Qian is also good at this empty talk."

Qian Jin didn't waste any words and told his plan:

"I want to establish a brand new, large-scale collective enterprise with our labor commando team as the main body!"

Everyone was stunned: "What?"

Leading a team is never an easy task. If Qian Jin wants to secure the position of captain, he must convince the team members.

What kind of people do the team members trust?

A person with vision, ability, original intention and responsibility!

He first wanted to demonstrate his own vision and asked, "Why do the labor commandos exist? Is it because the neighborhood committee hasn't arranged jobs for us?"

"Then why?"

"There are few job opportunities," said Xu Weidong.

Qian Jin shook his head and said, "I've inquired. Before July of this year, basically every street neighborhood committee could arrange jobs for five to ten returned educated youth and labor commandos every month, right?"

This is public data.

Everyone said, "Yes."

Qian Jin asked again, "What about after July? You don't know about other streets, but you know the situation on Taishan Road. How many are scheduled each month?"

The group began counting on their fingers: "Two in July, arranged for Old Pang and the Du family's daughter."

“8月、8月2个，9月1个，不对，9月也是2个。”

Qian Jin said, "Everyone has noticed that there are fewer tasks to be assigned, right? Then let me ask you, what happened in July that caused the situation to change?"

Xu Weidong stared at him: "What's the matter?"

Qian Jin understood.

There's no need to look for this guy when you need to think in the future.

He looked at the others.

The others also stared at him: "What's the matter?"

Qian Jin understood again.

The labor commando is actually a pig farm.

Fortunately or unfortunately, he should be a breeder there... So Qian Jin directly gave the answer: "The Third Plenary Session of the Tenth Central Committee will be held in July!"

"I've been studying all the big and small news in the newspapers lately, and I've also been getting all kinds of information privately."

"Based on information provided by the government and the public, I've made an inference that the rumors circulating among the public about the country restarting the college entrance examination are true!"

After entering October, this news had already spread quietly in Haibin City.

But almost no one takes it seriously.

The people in the meeting shook their heads.

"Don't deny my inference." Qian Jin waved his hand domineeringly, "Let time verify it."

"Then not only must the college entrance examination be reinstated, but young people who went to the countryside must also return. Otherwise, what's the point of the various sub-districts overseeing the renovation of old houses and the conversion of civil defense projects into residential buildings?"

Xu Weidong's little head was so shocked by these words that it turned into a small rotten melon.

He wanted to express his opinion, but finally pulled up his pants and said, "I asked you to get off the bed. I haven't peed all night and I can't hold it anymore. I'm going to go pee first."

Qian Jin kicked him and said to the others:

"My fellow comrades, if you don't believe me, just look at me. You will face two choices: one is to take the college entrance examination and go to university, and the other is to continue waiting for the neighborhood committee to assign you a job."

"There will be a lot of work that the neighborhood committee can assign in the future, but there will be even more people competing for it!"

"It's hard for our labor commando team to be assigned good jobs, so I think my fate is in my own hands, let's make money ourselves - I want to set up a small collective enterprise and arrange good jobs for our team members!"

"As long as this company grows bigger and stronger and creates brilliant achievements, our team members will receive salaries, dividends, and various other rewards. Then we will naturally work hard for the assault team!"

A group of people stared at him.

Idiot.

Zhu Tao stammered, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that we haven't seen anything like this before."

"I've never heard of it." Wang Dong scratched his head.

Qian Jinxian asked, "Many of you have tried the cold dishes I made. How was it?"

Xu Weidong gave a thumbs-up: "That's just awesome!"

Seeing that his fingers were wet, he wiped them on Zhu Tao calmly.

Qian Jin said, "To tell you the truth, Guan Dabao, the team leader of the State-owned Restaurant No. 2, is my brother, and I have inherited his culinary skills."

"Mixing cold dishes is nothing, the real trick is making spicy hot pot and fresh soup dishes!"

"We want to start a small collective enterprise in the catering industry to serve the people. We'll start with spicy hot pot and fresh soup dishes suitable for cold weather, and eventually build it into a world-renowned catering giant. Then we can serve people all over the world!"

Silence fell.

Xu Weidong quickly shouted, "What are you standing there for? Quack!"

The applause was very enthusiastic.

Zhao Bo asked, "Are we going to catch up with the Premier League and the US again?"

There was another half sentence he was embarrassed to say:

Just based on the few materials we have?
He was even more cunning and quickly figured out the key:

"But how can we set up a small collective enterprise? The neighborhood committee doesn't have the capacity to start such a large enterprise!"

Qian Jin avoided answering and pointed at Xu Weidong, saying, "This matter requires the assistance of this leader."

Xu Weidong held his head high and chest puffed out: "Captain Qian, please rest assured. I will sacrifice my life to assist my comrades!"

Qian Jin said, "That's not necessary. You can provide us with the areas to be swept every day so that we can avoid your unit."

"Even if I run into you, you have to hold the place and not arrest our people!"

Xu Weidong was furious: "Ah? You really want to help?"

Qian Jin laughed: "Why else would I send you to a voting center? To send you there to eat and drink to your heart's content?"

Zhao Bo pressed the issue, "No, Captain Qian, you haven't explained how we can establish a small collective enterprise."

Qian Jin said: "It has been established!"

"Corporate leader, me!"

"Corporate backbone, everyone!"

"Corporate spy, Xu Weidong!"

Xu Weidong: Ah!
He felt that there was a misunderstanding between him and Qian Jinzhong.

Old Qian wouldn’t really let himself be a spy, right?

Qian Jin pushed him away to go back to work, then said to the others, "When we open for business and no one arrests us, won't we be a legal small collective enterprise?"

Wang Dong squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then slapped his thigh and said, "That's right!"

Qian Jin informed the backbone members of each team of the development direction of the labor assault team and then issued them the work arrangements for the first phase:

On Sunday, everyone went to the countryside to support agriculture, exchanging their labor for vegetables and seafood. Starting next week, the labor commando's small collective enterprise will officially open for business.

At that time, all income will belong to the small collective!
The news was spread to all members.

There are advantages to being a loose group of people.

Everyone was at a loss as to what to do. The leader told them what to do, and since no one objected, everyone decided to do it.

As dusk was falling, Qian Jin returned home from get off work.

Someone was waiting for him at the door.

As the sun sets, the tops of the sycamore trees on Taishan Road are gilded with gold, and the ground is covered with golden fallen leaves, dyed by the sunset glow like broken gold.

Wei Qinghuan lowered his head and kicked the leaves with his black cloth shoes. Occasionally, when he bent down, the hem of his army green jacket, which had been washed to a pale color, was rolled up, revealing the white and blue plaid Dacron shirt underneath.

The shirt is slim-fitting, and you can vaguely see the slender waist.

Seeing this, Qian Jin greeted him: "Teacher Wei, why are you here?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Qinghuan stood up and looked at him with a smile.

The setting sun slanted in from the west end of the alley, casting an orange-red glow on her porcelain-white face. Two shiny black braids hung down on her shoulders, and her exposed slender neck made her figure look even more graceful.

Smoke was rising from the old building behind.

The bells of bicycles going home from get off work jingle on the street.

Qian Jin admits that he is a lustful man.

So he said to himself silently.

It's her!

Because she is the most polished and smooth!
