Reborn in 1981, the first to get rich start with dairy cows.

"Brother, you're so kind!" Shen Min said, sitting in the back of the car and holding Shen Dong's waist.

"Haha, why do you say that?"

"Because you knew Xiaohua's family was struggling financially, that's why we let her work at the factory. Everyone in the team is talking about it, saying that any other aunt would be a better fit..."

Shen Dong thought for a moment and said, "The family's difficulties are only one aspect; the more important thing is the person! Tao Guiping is still able to shoulder the burden of the family under such difficult circumstances, which makes it worth your brother's help."

"So, thank you, brother! You've set a great example for me, and I will do my best to help others in the future."

"Great, Xiaomin has grown up!"

The brother and sister chatted all the way to the team, where Shen Dong gave the car to Shen Min and stayed behind himself.

Shen Min tried to learn to ride a bike twice, but because she was timid, she still hadn't mastered it and could only push the bike home.

"Uncle Hai, Aunt Niu..." The team members sat around at the entrance of the village, and Shen Dong greeted them.

"Dongzi, you don't know yet!" Li Youhai, Li Ying's father, leaned over mysteriously and said, "Their Hongxing family next door also wants to implement the household contract responsibility system. They're at the team headquarters now, getting advice from the team leader."

"They're going to do it too? Didn't they just start planting? Is this time going to be...?"

"Who says otherwise? Everyone can see which plot of land was cultivated well and which wasn't. If you draw a bad one, who will agree to that?" Aunt Niu chimed in from the side, and then turned her head to say something else.

"Dongwa, I heard that our team is planning to build some kind of vegetable greenhouse. Your Uncle Niu was even called to a meeting by the team leader to ask him if he's willing to go."

"Yes, yes, mine was called too."

"Dongwa, you're the most capable person in the team, no one is as good as you! Tell everyone what this means!" Aunt Niu subtly flattered him.

"Did the captain also mention raising pigs?" Shen Dong sat down and asked.

"Yes! Your Uncle Niu also said that chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs are all fine. We don't know the details yet, and we're still figuring it out."

The village entrance is the team's intelligence center, and information from here spreads throughout the team at an extremely fast pace. Shen Dong decided to use these people to transmit the information, and explained.

"Uncle and Aunt, you know I'm helping to manage the dairy factory in our commune now. The yogurt they make can't keep up with the demand, so we'll definitely have to expand later. That means more people, and naturally, we'll need to keep up with the demand for food..."

Before Shen Dong could finish speaking, his aunt interrupted him, "Dongwa, from what you're saying, the noodle factory is hiring again? What do you think of my son?"

"And mine too..."

"Stop!" Shen Dong gestured for everyone to stop, speechless. "We're talking about team matters. We can discuss recruitment later, okay, Auntie?"

"Hehe, go on, go on..." The aunt laughed awkwardly, gesturing for Shen Dong to continue.

The interruption almost made Shen Dong forget where he was.

He continued, "So I discussed it with the team leader. Since the dairy factory needed it, the team could take it over. That's how the vegetable greenhouse and pig farming plan came about."

"I will arrange for the factory to come down and buy everything, whether it's vegetables or meat! Then everyone can earn some money in addition to working in the fields, and everyone can make a living like this."

"I knew it! Dongwa hadn't forgotten us!"

"That's right. There's never been an ingrate in our team. We've watched them grow up; they're all good kids."

Seeing that the women were getting to the point, Li Youhai interrupted them directly, saying, "Dongzi, do you have any suggestions regarding this quantity?"

"It depends on your family's situation. If you're better off, raise more; if you're not so well-off, raise fewer." Knowing what Li Youhai was concerned about, Shen Dong thought for a moment and said, "I can't say exactly how much you can earn, but it'll definitely be quite a lot."

Li Youhai finally calmed down. "Do you want to go to the team headquarters? There are quite a few people from Hongxing here."

"Okay, Uncle Hai, let's go take a look together!"

Shen Dong followed Li Youhai and they talked about the vegetable greenhouses along the way.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard a lot of noise inside. Many people were talking, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. It sounded like they were arguing.

"Heh, it's so lively!" Li Youhai said with a smile as he walked in.

The people from Hongxing didn't notice anyone coming in and out; they were still arguing about how to divide the spoils. Li Shangen, who was sitting to the side, happened to see Shen Dong come in as well.

"Stop!" he shouted. Seeing that everyone was silent, he said, "You all don't know what to do, right? Look, Dongwa is here. He's the one from our team who suggested dividing the land."

The team leader of the Red Star Production Team was named Mao Hongqi. When he heard Li Shangen's words, his eyes lit up and he immediately came over and shook Shen Dong's hand. "Dongwa, you often come to our team to play. Now that the team has encountered a problem, can you help us take a look?"

The man who had been arguing with him just now was Mao Hongbing, the vice-captain. Not to be outdone, he came over and put his arm around Shen Dong's arm, saying in a feignedly friendly tone, "Dongwa, your name has spread throughout our team. Everyone believes what you say. Why don't you take a look?"

Feeling uncomfortable with their enthusiasm, Shen Dong loosened his grip and shook off their arms before asking, "So, what's the problem now?"

"They're dividing the land, they're worried that some people won't be satisfied and the land won't be distributed, but they still want to distribute it, so they're looking for a good way," someone nearby explained.

Mao Hongqi glared at him and laughed, "Dongwa, things are just like what Dajiao said earlier. You're very knowledgeable, so how can you divide the land fairly so that everyone is satisfied?"

"impossible!"

Shen Dong said directly.

"what?"

"I said it's impossible! It's impossible to satisfy everyone, it's unattainable. If you want everyone to be satisfied, then don't divide it at all!" Shen Dong said decisively.

"Well...we can't not share it. Everyone's feeling that if the Red Flag harvest is good next year, everyone will want to share it."

Shen Dong shrugged: "There's no solution! Nothing is perfect, and there will always be someone who's dissatisfied."

Despite their usual fierce rivalry, Mao Hongqi and Mao Hongbing can unite when it comes to serious matters. They exchanged a glance, and Mao Hongqi asked, "So, what's your suggestion on how to divide it?"

"It's simple. If anyone disagrees with the division, just tell everyone that it's because they disagree that we're not dividing it."

"If everyone agrees, when dividing the land, do it the same way we did, separating the good land from the bad land, so as to satisfy as many people as possible."

"Even if some are dissatisfied, they can discuss and exchange them privately, as long as your brigade keeps a record of it."

Mao Hongqi pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is it feasible?"

Shen Dong said, "Most of the people in your Hongxing production team are from the same clan. Logically speaking, it should be easier for you to distribute land than for us in Hongqi. Why are you so worried?"

After Shen Dong's suggestion, Mao Hongqi finally made up his mind: "Okay, we'll split it too!"
