1983: From Land Sharing to Household Ownership

"Aqiang, there is another good news."

The old village chief didn't even know Wang Qiang was in a state of turmoil, and said, "Our village committee received a notice this morning that Jiangbei Village, as the first model village for reform and opening up in Chacheng, the county will immediately begin to arrange for every household to communicate with each other. Power-on."

"The technical team of the Hydropower Bureau has begun to be formally established. The first batch of projects to electrify every village is our Jiangbei Village."

"It is expected that at the end of this month, the working group responsible for laying lines and installing transformers will come to the village for construction."

"Although most of the new houses in our village have not yet been built, there is no problem in laying the lines and transformers first."

"By the end of the year, at least two brigades in Jiangbei Village have completed the construction of new houses. It is also very easy to let the village organize a small team of electricians to pull the wires into each household."

The village has become a model village, and it will be powered on soon?

This is three or four months earlier than in the memory of later generations.

Powering up is good news, though.

Wang Qiang had long been tired of the days without electricity. It was too hard and inconvenient at night.

If it weren't for the fear that he would cause a sensation in the village again, he would have bought a diesel generator and installed it himself.

The problem is that now the whole village is pitch-dark at night, and if the house is bright, even the tall bamboo forest can't block the light.

At that time, it is impossible to want to be low-key.

This is not in line with his plans for the future.

Therefore, for the past six months, he has been forcibly patient, and he just didn't put his thoughts into action.

Well now, the village will be powered on at the beginning of next month at the latest.

However, diesel generators still have to be bought and installed.

Mainly in this era, the electricity is turned on, but there are frequent power outages.

Even if there are three medium-sized hydropower stations in the whole tea city, there is no shortage of electricity resources, but power outages will still be a common occurrence.

Especially after the rapid increase of various factories, the collection of electricity bills will face many contradictions and difficulties.

"Old village chief, it is a good thing to have electricity in the village."

Wang Qiang took the public grain book handed over by the village chief, and then said, "After the village has electricity, the big construction in the village can be done overtime even at night."

"In this way, the progress of the large-scale construction must be accelerated by at least one-third of the time."

"Also, with electricity, everyone's activities at night will be much more convenient."

Wang Qiang is very clear that once Jiangbei Village enters the electrification era, it will definitely usher in a round of great development.

Not to mention, all kinds of equipment related to electrical equipment will inevitably be gradually introduced, which can significantly speed up the development of the village.

This is not a question of whether you want to or not, but the promotion of the general trend of the times, and you have to follow it.

"Thank you, the village chief, and I'd like to trouble you to come and visit."

Regarding the model worker, he did not continue to mention it.

Because the boat is done, if you mention it, you will be even more depressed, so you might as well not mention it.

"Aqiang, remember that you must come to the village committee at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon."

After the old village chief explained the situation to Wang Qiang, he continued to exhort him, and Fang Zi resigned and left.

"Brother, the red book you are holding is our family's public food book?"

The little girl Wanling had been quietly staying by her brother's side just now, but now that she sees the old village going away, she can no longer hold back her curiosity.

"Brother, is the public grain book as the village chief grandfather said just now that our family takes it and money every year to go to the village committee to go through the formalities for paying the public grain payment?"

Pay public food, she knows.

However, in the past, the harvest of the whole village's crops was completed, and the village collectively went to the county grain bureau to hand in the crops. Unlike now, each villager went to the village committee to hand in the crops.

The old village chief also said that at that time there will be staff from the grain bureau in the county who will go to the countryside to supervise the collection.

"Well, that's what it means."

Wang Qiang flipped through the brand new public grain book in his hand, nodded and said.

"Then... Is the model worker an advanced person selected by the village in the past?"

Wanling girl asked curiously again.

"This model worker's class, no, grade, compared to those advanced elements in the village before, is much more powerful."

"In the next few decades, the county will select several model workers every year. This is a rare honorary title. The earlier the age, the higher the gold content."

Wang Qiang patiently explained to his sister again.

"Okay, I get it now."

Wanling nodded her head and seemed to think of something again, "Brother, do you want to be the representative of the village and go to meetings often in the future?"

"No, even if I go, it will be a model worker commendation meeting once or twice."

Wang Qiang said, "Model is not a village representative. It is an honorary title. Unless you become a village representative, you have to go to meetings often."

"Uh-huh……"

The little girl nodded her head, "Then I'll go home first."

As soon as the voice fell, the girl immediately turned around and ran home, and rushed into the big villa in a while.

"This girl..."

What Wang Qiang didn't know yet, Wanling was going to tell the news she just heard to Wanjun and the others who were cooking at home.

The good news, of course, should be shared with my sister and sister as soon as possible.

"Hey!"

He smiled bitterly, not knowing what it was like in his heart.

Accidentally became a model worker, what's the matter!

Well, with the butterfly effect brought by oneself, being a model worker is indeed well deserved.

He shook his head, turned and walked into the big wooden door, closed the door and locked it, and walked towards his big villa with the big yellow dog A Cai who was shaking his head and tail around him.

After entering the large living room on the second floor, Wan Jun and the others gathered around, grabbing the public grain book one by one and watching it carefully.

"Brother, eight hundred and sixty yuan a year!"

There was a deep shock on Wan Jun's face.

Although the family is rich now, such a large sum of money is still a huge sum of money for her who is good at housekeeping.

This is not a small amount, equivalent to two and a half years' wages for workers in the city today.

"This is normal."

Wang Qiang explained, "Paying the public grain is justified. Besides, our family has so many fields, mountains and forests. It is understandable to pay the public grain."

"Although the land allocated to our family is wasteland and mountains, the public grain payment for this year is less than one yuan per mu, which is really not high."

"The more fields you have in your family, the more you need to pay for public grain. It's impossible to pay the same amount of public grain for those with more fields and less fields, right?"

"A country is a country, and there is a country to have a home."

With a dignified expression, he instructed his sisters and said, "Although our country is poor, ordinary people can live a relatively peaceful life, which is stronger than most countries in the world."

"Farmers grow fields and grains, workers go to work to produce various products, scientists develop weapons and lead the times, and each position has its responsibilities and obligations."

"Only in this way can the country become strong, resist foreign aggression, and protect the safety of people's lives and property."

He is very clear that in the memory of later generations, in the future, countries such as Yi, Syria, A, and other countries have too poor national strength, strong self-esteem, and are unwilling to be slaves. .

In a word, it is only right and proper to cultivate the fields and pay the grain.
