Driven by Gaoqiao Town and led by the Annan County Labor Bureau, the County Government approved the "Opinions and Suggestions on the Directional Output of Surplus Labor in Annan County."
County Head Jiang Ruming also met with Gaoqiao Town Mayor Mao Weiguo and He Jie, the Director of the Annan County Labor Bureau, to inquire about and provide guidance on their jointly submitted "Opinions and Suggestions."
Soon after, the County Office issued the "Guiding Opinions and Methods for Organizing the Directional Output of Surplus Labor in Annan County," and convened a special meeting attended by the secretaries and mayors of twenty-six towns in the County Government Conference Room. County Committee Secretary Li Gaoqiang and County Head Jiang Ruming were present and delivered important speeches.
During the meeting, County Head Jiang Ruming fully recognized the Labor Bureau's pragmatic spirit of "taking initiative and striving to do good work." Deputy County Head Zhong provided an interpretation and elaboration on the "Guiding Opinions and Methods for Organizing the Directional Output of Surplus Labor in Annan County."
Afterward, Secretary Li Gaoqiang called on Mayor Mao Weiguo to speak. Mao Weiguo had already prepared thoroughly and provided additional details:
First, it is essential to ensure that workers from Annan County can earn money once they go out. This requires our relevant departments to meticulously handle enterprise connections and inspections, establishing a systematic and normalized approach for regular follow-ups.
Second, through each individual labor output, we should shape Annan's brand image. By combining different regional needs with various enterprises' labor requirements, we can create tailored talent pools. For example, if certain companies need welders, we will train a specific group; if others need electricians, we will send a targeted group. We want every person we send out to be an expert in their field.
Third, as an agricultural county with a large number of laborers going out, grassroots governments and relevant departments must ensure that these families have no worries at home. This requires our town governments and village committees to genuinely care for them and take action.
Fourth, ...
Regardless of whether it is about people or work, "actions speak louder than words" is far more acceptable than "words speak louder than actions." Conducting targeted research is always more convincing than mere rhetoric.
Once Mayor Mao finished speaking, Secretary Li and County Head Jiang led a warm round of applause while quietly exchanging opinions: "Comrade Mao Weiguo has really put in effort during this time!" "Comrade Mao Weiguo is practical, down-to-earth, and dedicated!"
After the wheat harvest, over 500 workers (more than 300 of whom were organized by Gaoqiao Town) were sent to various enterprises in the Pearl River Delta that had been connected through the Annan County Labor Bureau.
To alleviate concerns from those who had never traveled far before—worrying about not earning money while incurring travel expenses—the county finance initially covered all travel costs. If workers did not earn money due to issues with the enterprises, their round-trip expenses would be borne by the county! Those who successfully earned money would have their travel costs deducted based on ticket prices.
Two months later, some workers began sending remittances home. According to his daughter Mao Na, more people had come to cash remittance slips at the post office in just over a month than usually did in an entire year!
Mayor Mao felt more reassured.
In fact, these over 500 workers had become living advertisements; their word-of-mouth effect combined with job information released by the county's Labor Bureau and various townships attracted countless families' attention!
By the time autumn harvests and plantings were completed, over 60,000 individuals from Annan County had gone out for work.
Of course, that was another story.
After May Day, following multiple discussions and friendly negotiations between both parties, Gaoqiao Town finally reached a cooperation intention with Four Complete Food Factory.
Since 1993, Four Complete Food Factory would purchase green onions, celery, cabbage, radishes... from Gaoqiao Town—reportedly each category measured in dozens or even nearly hundreds of tons!
Due to the overwhelming demand far exceeding the production capacity of Gaoqiao Town, Mao Weiguo specifically went to the county to express his grievances to Secretary Li and County Head Jiang, requesting their assistance and coordination to "alleviate the pressure."
Rumors circulated about a meeting in the County Committee conference room where both the Secretary and the County Head simultaneously criticized Mayor Mao Weiguo for his lack of resilience: "What are you afraid of? Our Annan has twenty-six townships and over three million acres of arable land. The County Committee and government are your strong backing!"
Two days later, another meeting was convened in the County Government conference room, which required the attendance of all township leaders. The meeting was chaired by County Office Director Huang Zonghua, and the first agenda item was a significant announcement by County Head Jiang Ruming regarding the Four Complete Food Factory's massive procurement of raw materials in Annan County.
The relevant figures were read out by the County Head word by word, leaving the Town Mayors and Secretaries below stunned: this cake was a colossal one; not only could they take a slice, but even a single bite could significantly boost the local economy!
After County Head Jiang finished announcing the figures, instead of the thunderous applause he expected, he was met with raised hands from below:
"County Head, our Gedaying is suitable for growing radishes..."
"Our Lao Gu can plant two thousand... no, three thousand acres of cabbage!"
"Celery, celery! We can grow celery in Wangdian!"
...
County Head Jiang and Secretary Li exchanged smiles.
At the end of the meeting, Secretary Li once again "named and criticized" Mayor Mao Weiguo of Gaoqiao Town: "You should have reported this situation earlier. Under the guidance of the County Committee and government, we should 'play as one chessboard' rather than you going solo in Gaoqiao Town!"
Mayor Mao humbly accepted the criticism.
...
The entire system within Annan County was shaken; this Mao Weiguo truly was remarkable, managing to accomplish such a significant feat quietly! As long as there were orders, what couldn't seasoned farmers grow? This assuredly profitable business was much more reliable than the blind ventures undertaken previously.
Under Mao Weiguo's leadership, Gaoqiao Town was indeed set to achieve great things.
Now let’s talk about Hu Ruoyun.
That night in Mao Na's house, Hu Ruoyun finally dozed off around two in the morning. When he opened his eyes again, it was already bright outside. He had planned to leave before dawn, but now it was past seven!
In a panic, he hurriedly got out of bed, washed his face quickly, and wiped it with Mao Na's fragrant towel before rushing to open the door.
In the yard by the water basin, a Fat Woman brushing her teeth turned around. Upon seeing Hu Ruoyun emerge from Mao Na's room, her eyes nearly popped out as she exclaimed with frothy mouth in a soul-piercing triple question: "Who are you? Why are you staying in Xiao Na's room? Where's Xiao Na?"
Her gaze darted behind Hu Ruoyun as if she wished she could see through walls to glimpse what was happening inside.
Hu Ruoyun thought that if Sister Mona happened to come out at that moment, it would surely drop this woman's jaw in shock.
"I don't know who she is," Hu Ruoyun mumbled in response. "Sister Mona stayed at home yesterday, and I just borrowed a place to stay for the night."
The Fat Woman visibly relaxed. "Oh, so you are her relative?"
Hu Ruoyun replied vaguely and walked away.
Damn, this is such a hassle.
