Wearing eighty books, the little widow turns into a rich woman

Chapter 200 Chapter 202 Meeting
Early the next morning, Li Xiangyang came to Yang Dingbang's house, and the two went to the Public Security Bureau to drive a truck, which stopped in front of Lin Lan's house.

All the uncles of the Yang family went to Yang Dingbang's house to help move the usable furniture, as well as pots and pans, into the car.

Lin Lan and Yang Liying helped the old lady put the chickens, ducks, and geese into cages and put them in the car.

The old lady looked at the old house where she had lived for decades, and wiped her tears reluctantly.

Yang Dingbang stepped forward on crutches, and hugged the old lady: "Don't be sad, Yucai Road is not far from here. If you want to go home, we will come back and have a look." The car was loaded, and a chicken coop, a duck pen, a goose pen, and a vegetable garden were set up over there, so the place where you live is the same as this place!"

The old lady wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at him and said with a smile: "Okay! Grandma is not sad, grandma is happy. I never thought that I could go to the small western-style building where the rich man lives, raise chickens and ducks, and grow side dishes."

"That's right, let's go to Xiaoyanglou to grow side dishes!" Yang Dingbang was relieved to see the old lady smile.

Leaning on crutches, he helped the old lady walk towards the train.

He Xianghua and several uncles stood in the carriage, supporting some large pieces of furniture.

Li Xiangyang led the old lady into the cab of the truck, and got into the truck with Yang Dingbang. He went to the driver's seat and sat down.

The old lady said to Lin Lan and the people who saw her off: "Let's go first, and you come later."

"Understood, uncle!" Everyone smiled and waved.

Li Xiangyang waved to Lin Lan, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

After Yang Dingbang and the others left, Yang Meihua sent the old pumpkins she received at her natal home to Lin Lan's home.

When Yang Meihua went back this time, she collected more than 1000 catties of old pumpkins.

Lin Lan calculated in her heart that these pumpkins could be used until the beginning of spring at most. Before the next season of pumpkins came out, the raw pumpkins for making pumpkin cakes had to be collected by Lin Guoliang and Shi Lian.

Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang helped Yang Dingbang move in the morning, and when they returned from closing the stall in the afternoon, the family went to Yang Liying's house for dinner, and spent Saturday in a busy schedule.

On December 31st, the Liu family held a wedding banquet for Liu Jinbao to ask for a wife, and the dowry from the woman's family was also sent to the Liu family.

Sun Xiuhua looked at the dowry, his face sank, and he almost cursed.

Liu Jinbao had no scruples, pointing to a few quilts and a few porcelain basins, he turned his face on the spot, scolding the woman's family for selling their daughters instead of marrying them.

The woman's bridegroom looked at Liu Jinbao and said that if it weren't for the money and things, a bum like him would have to be a bachelor.

Liu Jinbao jumped eight feet high, and the two families would have started fighting if Liu Guozhi hadn't stopped them.

On the same day, people in the team spread the word, saying that Liu Jinbao gave hundreds of gifts to his family, and there was a dowry gift every three rounds, and the new wife married a few beddings when she came in, not even a piece of decent furniture. .

The woman said that the girl was good-looking and graduated from junior high school. Her parents raised her, and the money and three rings were kept to honor her parents.

Liu Jinbao clamored for the woman to withdraw the dowry, and wanted to divorce the woman, but was suppressed by Liu Guozhi.

On New Year's Day, the Liu family still held a wedding banquet and got married.

****
In the blink of an eye, 79 years have passed.Lin Lan ushered in her second year in another world, 1980.

On the morning of January [-], the municipal government sent a working group to preside over household production contracting. Together with the commune leaders, they went to a small team of Lexing Brigade to preside over the implementation of the household joint production responsibility system.

Work group and commune leaders, brigade cadres, representatives of the second and third brigades, representatives of the construction brigade and other production teams, brigade cadres, and representatives of commune members sat together in the conference room of the Lexing brigade.A small team is engaged in pilot projects, and they come to observe and learn.

The meeting room is about the size of a primary school classroom, and the layout inside is similar to that of a classroom, with a large blackboard, a row of wooden tables, and rows of long benches.

The benches were already full of household heads and members of the first team, the second and third teams, and some members of the construction brigade. The members who could not enter the venue were all crowded outside the doors and windows to watch.

Lin Lan sat together with Yang Liying and Yang Meihua, and listened to the comrades in the working group read a lot of documents, talking about the significance and benefits of the household contract responsibility system.

Lin Lan recalled that she had to pay public grain twice a year, one season of rapeseed and one season of rice. The rice had to be sun-dried until it was the driest, crunchy to the bite, without gravel or impurities. Not a single grain, not a trace of smell.

Rapeseed must be dry, plump and free of impurities to be regarded as qualified public grain.

Half of the public grain handed over is offset by agricultural tax, and half is handed over to the state free of charge.

Lin Lan remembered that the four members of the family did not count as private land, and had more than four acres of land. They had to pay a thousand catties of rice and several sacks of rapeseed, and they had to bring an extra hundred catties of grain every time to prevent trouble.

Hand over the best food, and keep the next one for yourself.

The yield of hybrid rice is high, and the yield per mu of well-planted rice is about [-] jin, while the yield of conventional rice is low, and the yield of well-planted rice is only about [-]-[-] jin per mu.This is still an area with good soil quality in Pingba, and the area with poor land cannot reach this output.

It is not easy to hand in public grain. The public grain handed in must be graded, and not all the grain brought to the grain station can pass the inspection. Once the grain inspectors say that the grain is unqualified, they can only be taken home and dried again. Send to the grain station to pay grain.

Some commune members’ homes are too far away from the commune’s grain station, and it is inconvenient to go back and forth for a few days. They can only choose to dry in the dam of the grain station.

At that time, the staff of the grain station had the absolute right to judge the commune members who handed in the public grain, and they felt superior to the commune members who handed in the public grain.

Fortunately, my parents were flexible, and every time they handed over the public rations, they quietly stuffed a pack of cigarettes in the past.

Lin Lan will never forget the staff of the grain station, especially when facing those honest commune members, their arrogant and domineering attitude is no different from that of Huang Shiren in the movie when he treats his tenants.

Now in 1980, there are still more than 20 years before the exemption of agricultural tax, withdrawal and various miscellaneous fees.

For more than 20 years, farmers have to pay agricultural taxes every year, and more and more miscellaneous expenses are apportioned. The old-fashioned and rigid-minded people have just as hard a life.

Thinking of this, Lin Lan suddenly didn't want this rural household registration anymore, food is not expensive, wouldn't it be nice to make money to buy food?

"Lin Lan, Liu Guozhi has started to speak on stage!" Yang Liying said and abducted her, "What are you thinking, you didn't even hear me!"

Lin Lan woke up: "I'm distracted!"

Yang Meihua lowered her voice and joked with a smile on her face: "Did you just fall asleep with your eyes open?"

Lin Lan smiled and shook her head: "I'm thinking about something! Listen carefully to what Liu Guozhi said!"

Yang Meihua nodded, and everyone looked at the stage.
