Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 1 "Postpartum Care of Sows"

At the beginning of May 1983, in Heyang County, Central Plains Province, a dilapidated township bus was driving on a bumpy road, and the green wheat seedlings on both sides of the road could not be seen at a glance.

The south of the mountains and the north of the water are called Zhiyang. Heyang County is named because it is located on the north bank of the Yellow River. The Yellow River provides water for irrigation, coupled with a large area of ​​plains. Agriculture in Heyang County has been very developed since ancient times, and wheat is the most important local crop. crop.

The car was packed to the brim, and it was already a bit hot at this time, and the passengers were sweating from the heat, and the sweat gave off an unpleasant smell under the high temperature fermentation.

The driver simply pulled off his coat, revealing a vest with two ribs on which the words "commemoration of the 79 Heyang County Staff Basketball Game" were printed on it.

A few old farmers without seats sat on the machine cover, their buttocks were scorching hot from the hood, and the heat made their faces darker and redder.

The addicted to smoke ordered a pot of dry tobacco, which made the neighbors cough uncontrollably. The child burst into tears when he smelled the smoke, and the peasant woman holding the child couldn't help cursing.

Sitting by the window, Li Lei looked at the scene curiously. He hadn't fully adapted to the life in 1983 in less than a month, and many things that everyone took for granted were still full of novelty to him.

Before crossing, he was still studying for a doctorate in agronomy, and he had just assisted his mentor in completing a national key project - the compilation of "Agricultural History of New China". The achievements in the field have been successfully completed after several years of cooperation with many institutions and units.

After passing the inspection, the instructor was happy and took the team to drink to celebrate. I don’t know if I drank too much on the wine table. When I woke up, it was 1983 and became the new director of the Heyang County Agricultural Bureau. Li Lei, a college student.

This Li Lei is also quite remarkable. At the age of 16, he was admitted to Zhongyuan Agricultural College in the first year of the resumption of the college entrance examination. After graduation, he returned to work in the county according to the distribution principle.

Xing Shuwang, the head of the Agricultural Bureau, also valued him, and he was cultivated as a key seedling when he first came. He was not only allowed to play his strengths, responsible for the compilation of the agricultural science and technology manual, but also asked him to attend the unit team meeting as a recorder, so that he could familiarize himself with the work process as soon as possible.

After working in the Agricultural Bureau for more than a year, when Xing Shuwang was about to promote him, an accident happened. Li Lei accidentally fell into a ditch when he was going to the countryside, and he changed after waking up.

During this period of time, Li Lei didn't adjust his mentality, and he didn't dare to go home to visit his parents, for fear of showing his flaws, but now, he couldn't help it anymore.

Because I made some political mistakes negligently, my unit forcibly suspended me without pay, and now I can’t even go home.

The car turned over a gentle slope, and a huge willow tree appeared in front of it. The driver shouted loudly, "The Willow Commune is here, is anyone getting off?"

"Yes!" Li Lei hurriedly responded, carrying the bedding on his back, carrying his luggage and pushing towards the door of the car.

After getting out of the car, looking at the big willow tree in front of him, he was a little hesitant. The driver didn't care so much. He stepped on the accelerator and left. The exhaust and smoke made Li Lei cough again and again.

Quickly pick up the salute and leave. After walking for more than 100 meters, I saw a [-]-meter-long street. Most of the streets are tile-roofed houses. In addition to the residences of the villagers, there are supply and marketing cooperatives, people's communes, schools, health centers, etc. mechanism.

Li Lei's father, Li Qiyun, is the principal of Liushu Township Middle School. His grandfather also studied in a private school for a few years. Speaking of which, the Li family can be regarded as a farming and studying heirloom, otherwise he would not have given him such an uncommon name.

Lei, pronounced as lěi, originally refers to a bifurcated soil-turning tool made of relatively old and tough branches in ancient times. Li Qiyun chose this name for the child because he obviously wanted him to remember his family background.

When he was about to walk to the school, a man in his forties came over with a hoe on his shoulders. When he saw Li Lei, he smiled, "Uncle Yao, when did you come back?"

"Xinzhu, I just got out of the car. Is Brother Xinguang okay?" Li Lei felt a little awkward being called uncle by an older man.

However, most people in Liushu Township are surnamed Li, and his branch is Yaofang. As the saying goes, Yaofang produces elders. If you shoot according to seniority, Li Laizhu should really be called his uncle.

The village attaches great importance to these things, even if it is an old man with a gray beard who meets a doll wearing crotch pants, as long as the person has a high seniority, you have to take the initiative to call him.

After saying a few gossips, Li Lei left first, and Li Laizhu continued to walk forward, but was stopped by someone after a while, "Hey, I heard that something happened to your Uncle Yao recently? The county wants to deal with him?"

The person who asked the question was Wang Zhaodi, a salesperson from the supply and marketing cooperative, and she was gloating in her words. Her child took the college entrance examination with Li Lei one year ago, and Li Lei passed the entrance examination. Li Lei was in trouble, but she didn't know how happy she was.

Li Laizhu is from the Li family, so he will naturally go to his own family, but he usually comes to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. If he offends Wang Zhaodi, what does he want to buy?

So he could only respond vaguely, "Seeing that Uncle Yao was smiling just now, it shouldn't be a big problem!"

"Hmph, if it's not a big problem, why did he even come back with the paperwork? From my point of view, he must have been fired by the unit! Hehe, studying hard for so many years is now in vain... ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Why are you leaving, I still have to ask you something!"

"I'm going to the latrine, I can't hold back anymore!" Li Laizhu ran away in a hurry.

Wang Zhaodi looked back and saw that the director was not there, so she quickly grabbed a handful of melon seeds and went out to find someone to gossip about. Such a big news must be known to everyone as soon as possible.

Now there are only three grades left in Liushu Township Middle School, with a total of more than one hundred students and seven or eight teachers. The school is divided into two rows. Loss is relatively serious, many houses are empty.

Li Qiyun's office was in the first room in the back row. When Li Lei entered, Li Qiyun was grading homework. Seeing him coming in, he took off his pen and put down his glasses, and went to pick up the kettle to pour water.

"Dad, I'll come while you sit!" Li Lei hurried over.

After pouring the water, the father and son sat down to talk. At first, Li Qiyun only asked if the road was going well and whether it was hot or not. In the end, he couldn't hold back, "I heard that you got into trouble at work? What's going on? "

"I wrote a booklet, and someone picked it up." Li Lei took out a freshly printed booklet from his bag and handed it over.

Li Qiyun took it over and took a look. The words "Postpartum Care of Sows" were written on the cover. He couldn't help being stunned, "What's wrong with this kind of book?"
