Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 80

Chen Yang hurriedly asked what's new.

Grandpa told Chen Yang that he heard about the new situation during a meeting.

Grandpa is an old party member and often goes to meetings, so he has more information from outside than Chen Yang.

This winter and next spring, the whole county will carry out a large-scale water conservancy construction.

To carry out water conservancy construction in the water town plain is to release the water in the river and then dredge it...

In short, if the water is drained, where will the fish come from?

Chen Yang knew that the impact of water conservancy this winter and next spring on fish growth would last throughout next year, and it would not return to normal until the spring of the next year.

In other words, from now until the spring of the next year, Chen Yang's main income will be greatly reduced.

"Grandpa, you're right. With my current income, I won't be able to pay off my debts before the Chinese New Year."

"Yang, we still have two meat pigs. Let's sell them and pay off part of the debt first."

The two meat pigs each weigh less than 130 catties. According to the purchase standard of the food station, the minimum weight is 150 catties.

According to grandpa's plan, these two meat pigs will be kept until the eve of the Spring Festival before being sold.One is sold whole to a food station, and the other is slaughtered at home so that some can be kept for self-eating.

Chen Yang was reluctant, and grandpa was even more reluctant.

But grandpa is right, these debts cannot be delayed, let alone after the Spring Festival.

Those owed to the county supply and marketing cooperatives, those owed to brick kilns, those owed to master carpenters and master masons are all debts that cannot be owed for the New Year.

Two pigs were sold to the commune buying station.In the market, pork sells for sixty-five cents per catty.The hairy pigs were purchased at a price of only [-] cents.

A total of 240 three catties, wiped zero, a total of one hundred and six.

Including the income from fishing these days, Chen Yang already has more than 150 yuan on hand.

If you have money to pay off your debts, your debts will not last overnight.

Chen Yang went to the county seat to repay the 100 yuan owed to the county supply and marketing cooperative.

Yang Chunsheng gave Chen Yang a thumbs up.

In fact, Chen Yang didn't know that the County Supply and Marketing Cooperative couldn't get credit, let alone allow private individuals to get credit.

It was Yang Chunsheng who paid in advance for Chen Yang.

There is still 50 yuan, Chen Yang asked his grandfather to go out, and returned 20 yuan to the brick kiln, 20 yuan to the carpenter, and [-] yuan to the mason.

220 yuan of debt, 70 yuan left.

At this time, it is about to enter the autumn harvest season.

Chen Yang insisted on getting on the boat every day, but the harvest was getting less and less.Sometimes, the seven river bends have been turned around, but almost nothing is harvested.

Chen Yang was a little discouraged.

Living in a new house, the standard of living has dropped.The sweet potato steamed bread that my eldest sister makes every day has less and less rice flour.

Chen Yang suddenly thought of the autumn harvest, and his eyes lit up.

After the autumn harvest is the winter planting, which requires the use of tractors.If you can be a temporary mechanic again, it is possible to earn tens or even hundreds of dollars.

It's a pity that tractors are not needed for autumn harvest, but they are needed for winter planting, but there are too few places where they can be used.

According to the regulations above, half of the land of each production team is planted with wheat, and the other half is planted with flowers and flat grass.

Flowers and flat grass are edible, but most of them are used as fertilizers, which are essential for next year's spring production.

Planting flowers and plants is simple. Before the late rice is harvested, the seeds are directly scattered in the field.

Planting flat grass is not complicated and does not require a tractor.

The only time a tractor is needed is when growing wheat.The tractor is equipped with a long harrow, and the upper mud of the paddy field is raked to pieces, and the wheat seeds are scattered in the broken mud.

What to think, what to come.

The commune continued to hire Chen Yang as a temporary mechanic.

Hengfeng Commune also made such a decision.

Another neighbor of Chencai Commune, Weichuan Commune, also asked Chen Yang to be a temporary mechanic.

Chen Yang readily accepted, and still took Chen Renjun to be his partner.
