Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 82
The winter planting time is not long, but it is enough for Chen Yang to make money and pay off his debts.

The commune issued 30 yuan.

Went to the other two communes for 23 repairs, and got 57 yuan and 11 cents. Excluding the 46 yuan and [-] cents given to Chen Renjun, Chen Yang also earned [-] yuan.

30 yuan plus 46 yuan is enough for Chen Yang to pay off the debt.

Without even thinking about it, Chen Yang paid back the debt first.

Debt free.

The weather has turned cooler, and the autumn harvest and winter planting have passed.

The water conservancy department began to release water, and the water level of the river dropped rapidly.

The notice above has also come down.

The whole county will launch a hundred-day battle to clean up and dredge the main rivers in the county.

All the members of the communes where rivers pass through, male laborers up to the age of 60, have to participate in one-month compulsory labor.

Labor is glorious, and Chen Yang is willing to participate.

Anyway, the water in the river is almost gone, so there are no fish to catch.

In the river channel, the river bed was exposed, and those large and small river beaches finally revealed their true colors.

Chen Yang's small fishing boat was left alone on the river beach.

That night, the brigade held a water conservancy mobilization meeting.

At least 1000 people sat in the sun-drying field in front of the ancestral hall of the three surnames.

Chen Yang didn't rush into the crowd, he lazily leaned against the camphor tree beside the grain drying field, smoking the cigarette that Captain Tong Laogui gave him.

Life is a fucking mess.

Knowing that smoking is not good and it costs money, Chen Yang can't quit anymore.

Tong Xiaolong, Chen Fuming, Tong Erzi, and Cai Chaoyang were all young, and they crowded beside Chen Yang standing upright.

Tong Xiaoping went to the army.

Chen Renjun works in the commune, and Cai Xiaohui teaches in the village primary school, so they don't have to participate in voluntary labor.

The meeting was held in style, and a rostrum was set up.

Two large steam lamps hung high on both sides of the rostrum, brightly lit.

Chencai Commune has no electricity or lights.

Cai Zhao, secretary of the village party committee, Tong Dongchun, head of the brigade, Chen Shengmei, deputy secretary of the brigade, and Cai Baoyu, deputy head of the brigade, all sat on the rostrum.

The villagers all knew that they were waiting for people from the commune.

Chen Yang glanced at the four people on the stage, feeling a little complicated.

Needless to say, Cai Baoyu is the younger brother of his enemy Cai Baofu.

Cai Zhao and Tong Dongchun are both in their fifties, and they are good friends with Grandpa Chen Yang.

Chen Shengmei is not only the same surname and family as Chen Yang's family, but also Chen Yang's father's childhood friend and good friend, and also a soldier of the same year.

Just these three, ever since Chen Yang's father had an accident, they avoided Chen Yang's family.

Sometimes when they meet on the road, they will turn their faces away and hurry away, as if they have encountered a plague god.

Grandpa Chen Yang was regarded as highly respected in the village, but they lost respect for him as well.

The people from the commune came.

One man and two women, the man is Deputy Director Yu.

There are two women, one is Chen Yuhua, the women's director of the Brigade.

The other woman is Cai Meili, a senior official of the commune, the daughter of Cai Baofu.

Cai Zhao announced the opening of the meeting, and please speak to Deputy Director Yu.

Deputy Director Yu used to be stationed in Chen's brigade and knew everyone well. The villagers thought he was good, so they applauded one after another.

Deputy Director Yu said five things.

The first thing is to announce Cai Meili as the village cadre of the Chen Family Brigade.

Tong Xiaolong laughed foolishly, "Beauty."

Tong Erzi also smiled silly, "Anyway, I don't want to."

Chen Fuming is also an honest person, but sometimes he is sluggish, "Can a toad eat swan meat?"

Cai Chaoyang said in a strange voice, "Of the five of us, four are toads, but Brother Yang is not."

Everyone deliberately made fun of Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was unmoved.

Tong Xiaolong also said, "Brother Yang, take her down, and the grievances between your two families will disappear."

Chen Yang didn't say anything, but kicked Tong Xiaolong hard.

At this time, Deputy Director Yu said, "Next, let me talk about the second thing..."
