Episode 14
Kill Old Macaque!
Come! The Secretary is here! Make way!
- Come! Come! Make way! - Today, right in front of everyone,
- Come! Make way! - Secretary.
Old Macaque is over there.
Dongbao, it was that evil Old Macaque
who instigated everyone to surround and attack the task force,
hence, brought you trouble with a lawsuit.
Use this! Use this to break his legs off.
Kill him!
Dongbao, it's enough just to vent our anger. The main focus should be humiliating him in public.
Second Uncle.
I will remember the love
that I have received from all of you.
It is worth all of the trouble I had gone through in the provincial city.
Secretary Dongbao, you are a real man
and it's not worth it dirtying your hands over him. We will take care of him for you!
- Right! Kill him! - Let's break his legs!
Secretary, finish him!
We will take it out on him on your behalf!
All of you know my temper.
Would I still be me if I don't avenge this personally?
Bring Old Macaque to the brigade office.
Okay! Okay! Beat him up!
Brother, I can take care of him for you.
You stay behind and disperse everyone.
You two get out.
Don't let any one in without my command.
Dongbao. Dongbao.
You don't know those people.
They might be screaming loudly today.
But if you really kill me today,
no one else can be your scapegoat.
Dongbao.
You are still trying to manipulate people even at this moment.
I was wrong.
I admit to all of my wrongdoings.
You can hit me today. Even if you make me a cripple,
I will accept it. I will not report it.
But if you really kill me today,
that's a life gone and someone will definitely come to investigate.
I...didn't think it through,
so I fell into Sibao's bait.
The account book wasn't stolen by me. It's that rascal Sibao
who developed evil intentions after you removed him from being a factory manager,
- so he stole the accounting book. - It's also him who burned it?
I was the one who burned it,
but it was Sibao who stole it.
He wanted to replace you as the new secretary.
Dongbao, he told me as long as I took care of you,
and if he became the new secretary, he will appoint me as the head of this village.
He even took my hands and told me to call him Branch Secretary Sibao.
You have been raising a traitor by your side.
Dongbao, what else could I have done in that situation?
I'm already a person buried up to my neck.
I... just wanted to survive in Xiaoleijia.
You burned the accounting book of the village
to make me have no proof of clearing my name when the investigation team comes.
You instigated the people from the village to destroy the car of the investigation team,
to make the people from the county seat to hate me, so that I will be punished severely.
But never ever did you imagine
that I, Lei Dongbao, can come out of all these in one complete piece.
Dongbao, I instigated everyone
to go and stop the investigation team. I wanted to protect our Xiaoleijia Brigade.
I really wanted to help you.
Dongbao, I am innocent.
Do you believe your own words?
There's something else you didn't predict.
Those words that the people shouted when they were surrounding the investigation team,
were all about the good things here in Xialeijia Brigade instead.
Things about giving pensions to the elderly people,
more and more bachelors getting married,
life is getting better and better, and so on and so forth.
This made the people up there know that Xiaoleijia's improvement
were all thanks to me.
That's right. That's right, Dongbao.
I also can count as to have contributed merit, right?
I, Lei Dongbao, make a clear distinction between kindness and hatred.
You had both work merits and demerits. I must have reward and punishment too.
You have been tied up by the people of the village for one whole day.
You have also taken a lot of beating and scolding. You have been punished already.
As for the reward,
I have rewarded you too.
Go.
Is that all there is?
What more is there? Do I need to get a flask of wine for you to calm your nerves?
No, no. I will definitely seriously reflect on all my actions when I get back.
I will reform myself well.
I would behave from now on, and not casually say or do things anymore.
Old Macaque, let me tell you this again.
You saw it yourself today.
What kind of prestige do I enjoy in the village?
If you dare to make trouble behind my back again in future,
the people in the village will tear you apart even without me saying anything.
I understand.
I...will definitely reform myself well when I get back.
Reform well...
Go.
Dongbao,
the saying that the prime minster can contain a boat in his stomach exactly talks about you. [T/N: Very magnanimous]
Sibao.
That asshole Old Macaque didn't say any honest word.
You must never believe him.
Secretary Sibao, you must be tired.
Go back and rest.
Old Macaque!
You're a scoundrel!
Old Uncle, come over here and rest a while.
Drink some water.
Secretary.
Driver, slow down a bit. Slow down a bit.
It's alright. Okay already, you go over there first.
Secretary.
I'm afraid the county brick factory is being serious with us this time.
Whenever we decrease our price, they will then closely follow.
And I also heard that they have made an announcement
that as long as someone's brick price
is lower than theirs, they are willing to lower further still.
Drink some water first.
No wonder not even one client came to order bricks from us these past two days.
Looks like they have hardened their heart in crushing our Xiaoleijia Brigade's brick factory.
Shigen, what other news did you hear?
Secretary, I'm afraid that our products
can't be sold in the neighboring county and city.
I heard that in order to protect local economies, their local government
has specially sent people to set up check points targeting the bricks of our Xiaoleijia Brigade.
All these rascals, they keep coming up with mean methods.
Secretary, then what should we do now?
If they lower, then we'll lower too.
What are we afraid of? What do you say?
That's the only way.
Secretary's wife, Secretary's wife.
What's happening?
- You must give us justice. - That's right.
What has happened? Tell me slowly.
We went to the Purchasing Station of the county today.
We just received a notice and the employer there said
that they will not accept our Xiaoleijia Brigade's rabbit fur in future.
- Right, what should we do? - What should we do?
Not accepting rabbit fur?
They said that the Brigade's rabbit fur needed some kind of certification,
otherwise they will not accept even a single piece.
We don't have any kind of certification.
We know that the Secretary has just returned, and he surely has to handle a lot of the Brigade's affairs.
But we really have no other way.
The rabbits at home are breeding very quickly.
If the Purchasing Station cut off our income, then we...
Secretary's wife, you must think of a way for us.
That's right, Secretary's wife.
- Think of a way. - Right. - What should we do?
The person who verified the news in the county said that
the county's Purchasing Station has just promulgated an order
that all the county's rabbit fur must be purchased based on certification.
- Based on what? - Based on evidence.
Furthermore, every brigade will be issued a purchasing certificate with a fixed amount of rabbit fur that can be sold.
Anything exceeding that will not be purchased. Only the household accounts are not subjected to limitation.
Everyone knows that the Xiaoleijia Brigade is an important breeder of the long-haired rabbits.
Isn't this obviously aimed at us?
The brick factory. How are things over at the brick factory?
I reckon that those in the county have also heard the rumors. We just lowered our price
and the county closely made their price adjustments.
They are waging war on us.
You're in such a state of panic! What did the commune say?
That commune says that it wants to investigate our construction team.
If there isn't even one construction worker with the aptitude on the team,
then our construction team has to stop work. All the current projects must stop now.
- What is needed? - Certificate of Skill Competency!
The brothers in the construction team are the older ones who are very experienced in our Xiaoleijia Brigade.
How many houses in the county were built by us? Now, they want to talk about aptitude?
What were they thinking when they signed the contract for the project?
I was present at the time of the contract signing. But people from the Bureau of Animal Husbandry said that
our Xiaoleijia Brigade did not have the qualifications for construction, so the contract couldn't be signed.
But that time, no one cared. But now...
Now, they want to care!
When the work in the construction team stops, the work in the prefabrication factory will have to stop too. Dongbao,
do you think that someone is trying to target us?
Do you still have to ask? It is obvious that someone doesn't want us to live a quiet and peaceful life.
Bad things tend to come at the same time.
These actions are really evil.
My opinion is that we can't stop.
Not even one project can be stopped.
Old Uncle, why don't we do this?
You will bring everyone back to rest first. I will think through all these myself.
Why have you come?
Why doesn't Secretary Dongbao go home for his meal?
Not hungry.
The Heaven is great, the earth is great. Eating a meal is the greatest.
Right.
- Director Chen, the person is already inside. - I got it.
- Dongbao. - Director Chen, you are here at last. Where is County Governor Xu?
- Can I talk to him face to face? - County Governor Xu has gone to Beijing on a work trip.
He will only be back in a few days.
-Then can you call him? Call him now. - I don't have his telephone number over there.
What troubles have you encountered?
Tell me about them.
This time, Xiaoleijia Brigade
is really in deep trouble.
It's Xiaoleijia Brigade's economy that is having problems, right?
You know about it too?
I am really at my wit's end now.
Say, there are so many people in the Xiaoleijie Brigade now who are hoping everyday for some good news.
But so many days have passed and nothing has gotten better.
The rabbit fur, they can't be sold. The bricks, they can't be sold. The prefabricated panels, they can't be sold. Even the construction team has to stop work now.
How can it be that the more problematic the situation is, the harder it is for anyone to be willing to help us?
Dongbao,
I can understand well all these that you have said.
Actually, the county has always taken a keen interest in your Xiaoleijia Brigade.
But you must know that the whole county is like a game of chess and must have all-round development.
Even if County Governor Xu has the heart to support you,
he can't be just focused on looking after your Xiaoleijia Brigade alone.
That is to say, all of you still have to bear
this difficulty yourselves.
I understand.
Dongbao, there is one more thing.
If you really feel that you can't bear it anymore, you should let someone take over because it is time to do so.
I want to make a call from here.
Go ahead.
Hello, Brother-in-law.
Xiao Hui, can you help me ask
if there's anyone in your university who is studying construction design? And can you also help me ask if there is anyone who can sign on the drawing?
You are talking about a construction engineer, right?
- Right! - There should be someone at the Faculty of Construction.
Why don't I do this? I will go and make inquiries for you after I have completed my thesis.
Aiya, I can't wait that long. The Xiaoleijia Brigade is in a desperate situation now.
It's only been a few months and the Xiaoleijia Brigade has come to such a state.
Brother-in-law, truth be told, I truly admire your perseverance and determination.
But sometimes, some situations can't be decided by you alone.
If you really want to continue being at odds with those people, I'm afraid it will come to a bad end.
If you would only take a few steps back, and turn around,
maybe this would be beneficial to the Xiaoleijia Brigade. Right?
Director Chen told me the same thing just now.
Xiao Hui, remember this.
I, Lei Dongbao, am not wrong, so I will not admit to this wrong. I don't believe that I am unable to overcome this difficulty.
Okay, I will make inquiries for you with the students in the Faculty of Construction tomorrow.
Okay.
I will go back to the Xiaoleijia Brigade and wait for your call.
Wait a moment.
I read an article in the economic section of the People's Daily.
It said that the exported rabbit fur products from textile mills of Shanghai are very popular now in Japan.
It even brought in foreign currency for the country. I'm just thinking that what if the rabbit fur from Xiaoleijia Brigade
can be directly sold to the textile mills in Shanghai?
The brain of the university student is really quick and flexible.
You caused me to realize something with what you just said.
Right, we will do according to what you said. It can't go wrong. I will make the arrangements as soon as I get back.
Okay, I will not talk anymore.
Hello? Hello?
Your brother-in-law thought of a plan for you?
My brother-in-law is a university student. He's unlike an ordinary person.
You're at home?
No, I...
- Sit down. - Dongbao,
I didn't do anything these last two days. I didn't even dare to step out of the door.
You sit down.
Eat your food.
- No, why not you eat it? I haven't touch it. - I'm not eating.
I told you before that towards you, there must be reward and punishment. Do you remember?
More punishment? Have I not been punished already?
I was beaten up by everyone in the entire village. My brain and my legs are still hurting now.
I know that you have been punished. I am talking about reward.
No need, no need. Dongbao,
for you allowing me to continue staying in the Xiaoleijia Brigade is reward enough.
Just look at the way you are now.
What happened to the capabilities you had when you were firing the heavy guns those years?
Am I not old already?
Really, Dongbao, I'm old. Let's not talk about those years.
You can't undertake the task of going to Shanghai to sell rabbit furs then.
- What did you say? - You can't undertake the task of going to Shanghai to sell rabbit furs.
You are saying, to let me sell all the rabbit furs of the entire village?
- What you said is reasonable. You are indeed old. I will look for someone else. - No, no, no. It's not like this, Dongbao.
Actually, I can still take it. Look, just two days ago,
I was beaten up by everyone in the entire village. I was tied up under the sun the whole day, but nothing happened to me.
Really. Just a little bit of skin scrapped off here. My body is still strong.
- Can you really do it? - Can. - Okay then.
I will let you do this task of selling the rabbit furs. I heard that there are many textile mills in Shanghai.
As long as you sell all the rabbit fur from the Xiaoleijia Brigade,
I will not treat you unfairly when you return.
This time, I will definitely go through water and tread on fire, and will not have any hesitation.
- This matter is settled then. - Okay.
I will find a helper for you. The two of you will go as a team, so do your work well.
- Who? - Come in.
It's me.
Let me do it. You're tired after a whole day's work outside. I wasn't able to be of help.
Now that you have come home, let me take good care of you.
My wife,
you are so good.
The matter concerning the selling of the rabbit furs, are you going to entrust it to the Old Macaque?
Anyone in our village can be considered a co-villager.
Only this old rascal can't be.
But you're still letting him do it?
But he is the only one in our village who is experienced and knowledgeable, and is also able to adapt to different situations.
For matters of begging people and fulfilling tasks, he is the right guy.
Isn't the county's Purchasing Station not buying our rabbit fur anymore? Fine,
I will not sell them even one fur.
We will go to Shanghai. We will go to the large city of the provincial committee.
We'll go there to look for textile mills.
What will happen if those beyond the county do not accept products outside of the state's plan too?
Think about it, even the cement plant is able to buy production raw materials that are outside of the state's plan,
then why can't textile mills do it too?
In any case, I have already instructed them.
No matter what methods they come up with, spend if they need to and kneel down if they need to.
Don't even think of coming back to the village if they do not succeed.
Okay, all of you go and get busy with your own work.
Go back to work. Go back to work.
How is the business lately?
Take a look.
Look. Everyone is
frustrated and upset to the point of crying.
It is because our bricks are too cheap.
They work their ass off.
but not even make a dime. Those carts being taken away are all our hard earned money.
What you just said won't help with anything.
If we didn't do this, we couldn't have sold a single piece.
You need to tell people to hang in there.
But until when can we endure this kind of life?
You are the backbone. You must hold on.
Dongbao.
Is there anyone in the Construction and Design Institute who is willing to help us?
The second that I said I'm from Xiaoleijia, everyone was just shaking their head.
This is intentional.
They are so stubborn.
They aren't even willing to make money from us. In my opinion, let's just do the old method of Secretary Dongbao.
- We shouldn't care about the qualification. Weren't we doing well before? - How can we do that?
The construction committee has made clear and specific rules about the qualification of technicians.
We overlooked this before. If we don't solve this problem,
our construction team can't keep operating.
If the construction team don't have a project, the sales of the prefabricated panels factory will be cut more than half.
If you go to the factory now,
products are pile up there and nobody wants them.
Right, Secretary Dongbao, the county's brick factory is also being aggressive.
I just heard they said let's see who is the one to die first.
I will figure out the construction team issue later.
First of all, we need to solve the problems of prefabricated panel factory and brick factory.
How about this? Today, I'm setting up a rule.
Whoever gives money, no matter how much they want, no matter how low they push the price to,
no matter what their condition is, we'll do it. We'll take it.
What would our brigade have become then?
Our construction team is after all one of the top in the county.
We're not inferior at all to state-run firms.
Treat it as being established just to day.
Let's start over.
Secretary. Lowering the prices is just a delaying tactic.
The longer we drag this, the larger will be our loses.
You really didn't think that a brigade-run enterprise like ours can compete with state-run factories, right?
Shigen,
they have a larger factory and deeper connections. No doubt about that.
But you forgot one thing. They can't bear to risk it.
They don't have our guts.
Although we are currently in our most difficult point,
I believe that people in our brigade are not afraid of anything.
Just straighten your waist and compete with them until the end!
Do we still have an alternative?
We can't really go back to living those hard days, right?
Uncle,
what do you say?
All members of the Xiaoleijia Brigade, listen well.
I'm Brigade Secretary Lei Dongbao.
I have few words for everyone.
I still remember the winter two years ago.
There were snow floating on the air.
I was idle with nothing to do, so I went to stroll in the back mountain.
That time, the brick kiln was still a pile of scraps.
But our Xiaoleijia Brigade was exactly started from this pile of scarps.
It was new year. Such cold weather. Thirty people.
Who complained of hardship? Who complained of exhaustion?
Not one. Because everyone knew in their hearts,
everyone knew clearly that we must endure it.
Only by enduring it can we earn money.
Only by enduring it can we have good days ahead.
Afterwards, our Xiaoleijia's stride
became larger and larger, faster and faster.
When one brick kiln wasn't enough, we built another one.
We even planned to build a third one.
Our brigade has two construction team.
The houses built by our construction team is not a bit inferior to the ones built by county firms.
Those who saw and used it only have praises for them.
And that prefabricated panel factory, I don't need to say more.
During its peak, the trucks coming to pull out the goods would block off the roads of the village.
Why am I saying this? No other reason.
I just want to tell everyone that Xiaoleijia has reached its most difficult time.
If we're unable to hold on,
all our painstaking efforts for the past 2 years will just be in vain.
I only want to ask all of you one question,
are you willing to just resign yourself to that?
We don't! We won't accept it!
- For Xiaoleijia to reach its status now, what did it rely on? - What are you shouting about? Can secretary here you? Listen carefully!
Was it just me?
It relied on the fact that everyone here in this brigade
was willing to bear hardships, willing to exert effort, willing to work hard together!
I'm announcing a decision.
Starting today, all the cadres
and members of the Xiaoleijia Brigade will not be given salary.
Everyone isn't allowed to touch even a cent of the brigade enterprise.
I know that after saying these words, all of you are feeling upset
and want to curse me. Let me tell you, you better hold it in.
Use this anger to deal with those people bullying us!
The salary will be distributed once Xiaoleijia has gotten through this hardship.
Work.
Come, work! Continue!
- Come... Exert more effort! - Did you all hear it?
- We did! - Prop your spirits up!
What Secretary Dongbao said is right!
We can't let others riding on top of us!
If we want to have good days,
- work! - Okay! Work!
Why are you sitting here?
The construction architect
hasn't replied yet.
It would be great if they can come to our village.
We can then accept projects beyond private-initiated constructions.
Our bricks and prefabricated panels will have more places to go to.
There are also still no news from Sibao and Old Macaque.
Don't know how the selling of the rabbit furs are going.
Regardless of where I am, I'll be waiting. It's better to just sit here.
When everyone sees me, they'll feel more at ease.
Factory manager, we can't continue to lessen it.
Don't know what medicine those Xiaoleijia people has taken. They don't want any money anymore.
I heard that they couldn't even give out salary now.
Factory Manager,
you must give us instructions. If we continue doing it like this, we won't be able to give out salary too very soon.
- Sibao! - Secretary! - How did it go?
Stop smiling at me. I'm asking you a question.
It's done.
They bought a year supply of our village's rabbit fur.
That's great.
Come... Let me pour you some water.
Let me make you some tea instead.
- No need. No need. Cold water is fine. - You've worked hard.
- Secretary, I don't find it hard. - Here.
For tasks that you give to me, even if I die from exhaustion, I won't find it hard.
You have improved.
Here...
It's hot.
How come you came back on your own?
Where's Old Macaque?
Since the task is done, why do we still need him? I asked him to go home.
Was he well-behaved throughout your trip?
Don't even say how well-behaved that old man is. I was guarding he's some thief.
The money, food stub, and receipts, were all with me.
Even just eating wanton, he has to get my approval. If I don't allow him, he can only eat shit.
- You're a bit evil. - When we just arrived back,
he got sick. I pretended to not see it.
I had him endure it. When he can't anymore, he asked for medicines from me.
I then bought him medicines.
You went overboard. Okay already, let's not talk about him first. Tell me about the situation there.
How is the scale of textile industry in Shanghai?
Huge!
If we increase our production, will they be able to take it?
What grade does our rabbit fur fall?
Did they mention any request of improving the quality of our rabbit fur?
They said...that our rabbit fur is considered...
...good. They said that our rabbit fur
were all quite good.
Secretary.
I heard you're sick.
I had a prescription made for you.
Thanks. Thanks.
You had to come here personally. This is so unacceptable.
Come, quickly sit.
Come, sit.
Oh, right. I was just about
to report some situation with you.
In this trip,
I more or less analyzed the textile industry of Shanghai.
There are a total of 5 textile factories there
that wants to buy rabbit fur. There are not enough sources right now.
The first factory didn't talk much with us
and immediately bought all of our stocks.
I secretly saved some for sample.
We then went to 2 more factories. Those two
looked at the sample of our rabbit fur
and said that it's acceptable.
And this one.
Old Macaque.
I wasn't wrong about you. You are a talent.
Secretary, you gave me a chance to redeem myself.
- I must remember this kind favor of yours. - Okay. Okay.
Our rabbit fur production can still be doubled next year. Can they take it?
They can. I've made a two-year contract with them.
If every year, we increase our production,
those three factories can all take it.
What you mean is
with just one factory,
if we double our production, it can buy all our rabbit fur?
For three factories, if we increase it 6 times, we still won't worry with not being able to sell it?
Right.
- That's great. - That is indeed how it is.
But since I don't have the final say,
I didn't sign any contract with them.
That's fine. Good job. I'll remember this merit of yours.
Secretary! Secretary!
I...
...still want to discuss something with you.
What is it?
Look. Shanghai's rabbit fur demand is so big.
Our county has encouraged people to rear long-haired rabbits.
Why then can't our village make our own rabbit fur purchasing station?
Sit down to speak.
Do one ourselves?
Right.
Every year, we'll collect the rabbit furs from our village.
We'll sell them to Shanghai. In here, we'll be able to control more
the prices in buying and selling them.
Think about it. If we make just a bit of movement up and down,
the profit in between can be a lot.
You want to become the head of this rabbit fur purchasing station, right?
I want to learn from your
land contracting and payment for output methods.
Contract this rabbit fur purchasing station to me.
Don't worry. I guarantee to submit enough retainer fees to our brigade.
For this matter, no way.
If you want to do it, I can give you monthly salary instead.
Let's copy the standards of Shigen and Hongwei, which is ¥70 to 80 per month.
If you don't want to do it,
I'll let others do it.
Dongbao, what did you say earlier?
Reverse collection of furs?
Surprised?
That's right then.
Those county seat bastards bullied us intolerably.
Shouldn't we gift them something big in return?
What is the average price of different rabbit furs in the county seat?
Shigen, go ask around.
Starting today, our Xiaoleijia will establish our own purchasing station.
I'm accepting all rabbit furs in the county.
Where will we sell the rabbit furs we collect?
We've contacted Shanghai.
They are willing to do long term partnership with us.
Dongbao, we're currently in unusual times.
The sales of bricks and rabbit furs have just picked up lately.
The brigade is still financially tensed. What are you trying to do?
No other reasons.
I just want to compete with the purchasing station of the county.
Hongwei, Four-eyed,
you two keep close watch of this matter.
Anyway, there are a lot of idle people in the brigade. Guard all purchasing stations of the county.
Anyone selling their rabbit furs, stop them.
Pay them money right there and then, and the price must be higher than others.
- Okay! - Sure! - Go now.
Dongbao, I still think what you said earlier is inappropriate.
We just saw a bit of improvement.
It's not the time to fight others for matters like this.
Uncle, I don't care.
I have to compete with them.
Whether it's three months or three years,
- I'll compete with them until they die. - Dongbao, you— - Don't worry.
I know my limits.
Dongbao! Dongbao!
Your store room is this empty?
XIaoleijia has went into extreme measures. Not only are they paying for the rabbit furs.
They even paid for the transportation of the commune logistics.
Not only that. They even increased the buying price for rabbit furs.
Now, all long-haired rabbit raisers in the county and city
are selling their furs to Xiaoleijia.
Say, isn't that pushing us to doom?
Hey.
Factory Manager, it's already been half a month
since a brick was sold from her factory.
Some were even returned. You can also see
that we don't have any more place to put the bricks we produced.
People outside are saying that the quality of the Xiaoleijia's bricks is also good too.
They are all going there to buy them.
Stop work.
What?
I said, stop work!
Secretary! Secretary!
Latest news!
The county brick factory has stopped production.
I heard that it was because they were unable to sell their bricks.
Is your news accurate?
Go send more people to ask around.
I'll go ask around again.
No, Uncle,
if this news is confirmed,
we can immediately return the prices of our bricks to market price.
Sure. I think that's doable.
All members of Xiaoleijia Brigade, listen well!
Everyone gather at the grain basking area. I have an important announcement.
What is it? Why were we gathered?
What's going on?
Today,
I want to tell everyone,
first,
the price of our bricks has returned to normal market price.
And,
our third brick kiln
is currently being built.
Second,
the sales of our prefabricated panels
has already reached 30% of previous sales.
We're starting to earn money.
Third,
our construction team
has contracted a new project.
Fourth,
all those raising long-haired rabbits should have heard of this already.
We're able to sell as much as you can produce.
We can earn a lot.
Hence, I'm announcing here
that starting this month,
all the brigade-owned enterprise
will give out salary as usual.
That includes all the salary that we owed you previously.
Do you understand?
Disperse!
Secretary, you're great!
Great!
Secretary, you're great!
You are great!
I knew that you'll be here.
When I was busy, I didn't feel it.
Now that the rock has fallen,
I instead feel a bit tired.
Dongbao,
you did great.

♫ Flowers quietly bloom in the spring ♫
♫ Looking forward to the big and ripe golden fruits of Autumn ♫
♫ Those seeds of hope that our predecessors sowed ♫
♫ will be reaped by their successors ♫
♫ The proud sun of summer burns like fire ♫
♫ Emerging layers of waves are still warm ♫
♫ Push open a windows, let the breeze blow past, ♫
♫ as if spring has come to visit ♫
♫ The wind and snow of winter sweep past ♫
♫ Bringing songs of harvest during autumn ♫
♫ When did the rain fall? When did the wind stop blowing? ♫
♫ Telling stories of the past ♫
♫ The spring breeze continues to blow, still looking forward ♫
♫ to the flowing rivers of age; time fleetingly passes by ♫
♫ A journey of difficulties and loud songs ♫
♫ All belong to us ♫
♫ Smilingly watch as time ♫
♫ passes by ♫
