Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 505, Team Meeting

Yang Xiaole and the others returned to the educated youth site.

The room began to become lively.

Wang Lao Er naturally asked with envy: "Aijun, how is it? Did you get the gun? Where is the gun?"

Feng Aijun smiled proudly: "Oh, Captain Xie put it in the warehouse."

"Can't use it?"

"Yes, it can be used! I will use it during the day and may bring it back later. I will never leave my gun without it, but I cannot load the bullets casually."

Feng Aijun finished speaking and laughed, "How do you say we slaughtered the pig today? How much meat was divided? Did you eat it?"

"How could we possibly eat if you guys hadn't come back? The bear was really fat. Each of us got a pound of meat, and we also got some of the remaining bones and other things."

Wang Laoer said with a smile.

The previous meat had been eaten long ago.

Then he sighed, "Add one pound and two ounces of pork, that's a year! These people can really do it."

Feng Aijun smiled and said, "Don't worry! Xiaole did a big thing in the commune today! I tell you, maybe our brigade will be able to raise pigs privately in the future."

"What do you mean?"

Everyone was curious.

Feng Aijun saw this and said, "Today, Xiaole is in the commune..."

Tell the situation.

Wang Lao Er asked doubtfully, "Will it work?"

"Hey, you don't understand politics, right?"

Feng Aijun smiled and then said, "You have to know what we are doing now? Produce more food to support national construction. Producing food counts, but does raising pigs count? Don't underestimate this..."

Wang Laoer's face changed.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Feng Aijun saw his expression and smiled bitterly.

"I'm not talking about you!"

Who dares to underestimate this sentence?

If Wang Lao Er dared to admit it and was exposed, he might never have the chance to meet her again in this life.

Then he said, "I'm talking about Director Gao!"

Wang Lao Er rolled his eyes.

Seeing this, Feng Aijun continued, "If he, Lao Gao, had a little bit of brains, or a little bit of awareness, this notice would come soon!"

He guessed it right.

But the one who has brains and awareness is not Gao Zhongliang.

But someone else.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Yang Xiaole.

"Xiao Le, you are really brave!"

"That's it... you're not afraid!"

……

Everyone was talking there at once.

Yang Xiaole shrugged: "What am I afraid of? Did I say something wrong? He is the one who disrupted the production, and he was hiding! It's not easy for people to find him."

Everyone rolled their eyes when they heard this.

Then he smiled and said, "Okay, go to bed quickly. The militia still has training tomorrow. By the way, what do you guys say about the performance? We left and didn't know about it."

Xie Laosi mentioned at that time that there would be a performance during the New Year.

"Hey, we've prepared a few, 'Waves of Honghu Lake' and 'Red Lantern'. What do you think? Which one do you want to act in?"

Feng Xue was muttering there.

Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Vote! Then we'll see if we can complete the match. By the way, how can we make the script? Who among you can do it?"

"Hey, there are a few performances that I haven't seen in the past two years, so I can join in the fun."

"That's fine, let's see how things go tomorrow."

We are not reading stories today; we are all discussing things lively.

……

At this time, Xie Laosi was smoking a cigarette and listening to Xie Hongbing talking about what happened today.

After listening to it, he frowned and said, "This kid doesn't know the situation at all! He has to say something so directly that is obviously offensive. Isn't he a tiger?"

Xie Hongbing also nodded: "Uncle, I think so too, what should we do! Will there be trouble! But Xiaole said that this is clear, it's okay."

Xie Lao Si was thinking when he heard this: "Is it clear?"

"Yes, that's what he said! He said Director Gao didn't dare to target him openly."

After listening to this, Xie Laosi was pondering.

After a while, he smiled and said, "I understand. It's okay. OK, let's go back first! But, it's okay in the open, but I can't say for sure about the hidden things!"

Xie Hongbing didn't understand what it meant: "Teacher, what do you mean? Why don't I understand?"

Xie Laosi looked around and whispered, "Xiao Le said it very clearly. I guess there were too many people around at the time, so he didn't say it directly."

Xie Hongbing looked at him and said, "Xiao Le is right about this. If old man Gao is targeting him, it means he is sabotaging production. What he can do now is to quickly consult with others and discuss how to deal with this matter.

However, I dare not target you openly, but I can’t explain it in private.”

Speaking of this, I felt a little worried.

Xie Hongbing thought about it for a while and finally understood it.

"Uncle, these city people are very cunning."

"Who are you talking about~"

Seeing Xie Laosi's expression, Xie Hongbing smiled awkwardly; "Uncle, I'm talking about Yang Xiaole, not you!"

Xie Lao Si rolled his eyes when he heard this, thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay, go back and get ready. I estimate that the notice will arrive in three to five days. Get the money from the firewood factory and buy a few animals!"

Xie Hongbing nodded.

He agreed and left immediately.

……

Xie Laosi thought that the notice would come soon, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"The broad masses of the proletariat..."

The radio starts broadcasting during working hours on weekdays.

Suddenly the whole village was in an uproar.

Pork is allowed to be raised, and each household can raise two boars. According to the standard, buy nine and keep one.

It means if you raise a pig and it produces 100 kilograms of meat, you can keep kilograms of meat.

Of course, this is theoretically.

Local pigs take a long time to raise, weighing only about 100 pounds a year, and their meat yield is very low.

The thinner the cow, the lower the yield. If a cow weighs 120 kilograms, it can only produce 50 to 60 kilograms of pork. If you raise two cows, you can probably get more than 10 kilograms of meat.

That’s the first thing.

The second thing is that the brigade’s sales agency can purchase goods from the commune’s supply and marketing cooperative and sell them.

The village was in an uproar.

Each production team sent people over.

There is also a third thing that is related to the educated youth, and that is land reclamation.

I don’t know if this is directed at Yang Xiaole’s statement.

The land of the production team remains unchanged, the total output will certainly not change much, and the amount of public grain paid will also remain unchanged.

If the educated youth ate rationed food after they arrived, they would be adding burden to the country.

Therefore, people are needed to open up the wasteland.

Reclamation is carried out based on the per capita land area of the production team.

……

Yang Xiaole and his group naturally heard it as well.

It was just dawn when I was woken up by the loudspeaker.

At this time, everyone was getting dressed and preparing to go to the brigade to get their guns.

Feng Aijun looked outside and muttered after listening, "Hey, Xiaole, this speed is really fast! How scary is this!"

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "What do you think?"

We all have experienced what happened in the past two years, and we all know that if this matter is caught by someone with ulterior motives, it will be a huge deal.

It can make a person who is high and mighty fall down in an instant.

"Hey, do you think Lao Gao will be in trouble?"

Feng Aijun thought of something and asked.

Yang Xiaole shook his head: "No, Lao Gao is quick enough, and don't forget, there is also a man named Wang in the county!"

After hearing what he said, Feng Aijun didn't say anything.

Get up and wash up.

Then everyone turned their attention to land reclamation.

The educated youth were all ambitious and wanted to reclaim wasteland and not add burden to the country.

Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes.

Is it really that easy to open up new land?

This reminded him of the reports he saw later, about those pioneering commandos.

The Iron Lady team, or something like that.

That's really working hard, and it's all voluntary.

After instructing Wang Laoer and his men to continue organizing the performance, the seven educated youth militiamen walked towards the brigade headquarters while these men looked on with envy.

When we arrived at the brigade headquarters, we were already surrounded by people.

The loudest voice is naturally the one that shouts.

"Hey, uncle, you really let me raise them! What should I do with the piglets?"

Xie Lao Si said, "Okay, you guys heard the broadcast, you can raise the dog now. Go to Accountant Chen to register and decide how much to raise."

"Hey, I want one at home."

"We want one at home!"

Everyone started shouting.

Liu Jinlian was puzzled for a moment: "If you can raise two, why don't you raise two? It's so hard to raise them."

Yang Xiaole shook his head: "The risk is too great. Farmers can't afford it."

"why?"

"A piglet needs to weigh about 20 to 25 kilograms to grow healthily. If it's too small, it can't be raised. A piglet costs more than ten yuan. If it dies, the pig is lost. Even if it is allowed to be raised freely, not everyone dares to raise so many."

There has been a saying since ancient times.

The family has a lot of money, and the hairy ones don't count.

These things are precious. The current epidemic prevention rate is very low. Once you get sick, most people will not survive. "Oh, you know a lot!"

Xie Honglin laughed beside him.

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "I was born in the countryside. I heard more and understood more."

"Hey, Xiaole, come here!"

While thinking, Xie Laosi shouted at him.

Suddenly, following the gaze, everyone looked back and made way.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole went over directly.

"Captain! Accountant Chen."

After coming over, I said hello.

Seeing this, Xie Laosi said with a smile: "I guess many people don't know that it was Yang Zhiqing in the commune..."

He recounted the general situation.

"So it was Yang Zhiqing who said that!"

"Yang Zhiqing..."

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion among the people below.

Finally, let’s talk about introducing my wife.

This made Yang Xiaole feel embarrassed.

After a long while, Xie Lao Si finally said, "Okay, let's all go. Those who need to register should register, and those who need to do something should do something! Don't stay here. The meeting will be moved to the afternoon."

After hearing this, everyone dispersed.

Everyone left laughing.

Xie Laosi then looked at him and said, "You and Hong Bing take them to get familiar with the guns first. I guess the people from the production team will be here soon. Let's have a meeting."

Yang Xiaole nodded and agreed.

There were eleven militiamen and seven educated youth.

All went to the warehouse.

As for the rest, they were trained in the militia of their own production team.

Everyone came to the warehouse.

Xie Hongbing looked at the guns on the shelf and said, "Don't worry, let's have a small meeting first."

Hearing this, everyone gathered together.

In fact, it means giving up the opponent's C position.

Seeing that it was almost done, he said, "The militiamen usually train in their own production teams and perform their own tasks. The commune has two centralized training and assessments a year.
Normally, our company conducts concentrated training once a month, and we practice shooting with five bullets..."

There they were talking about the militia training.

As he spoke, he took out a book.

"You can read this book when the time comes!"

Yang Xiaole took it and took a look.

Militia Military Training Manual

One of the three great sacred books.

Xie Hongbing said, "When you have time later, you can buy a copy for yourselves. Each copy costs 25 cents. You will need to study this in the future."

Yang Xiaole smiled and nodded: "Okay, let me take a look at this first!"

This book is called the divine book.

That's because this is not just a theoretical book that you can just read briefly.

Instead, the current militia training is conducted in accordance with the guidance from above.

The whole article covers four directions: air defense, atomic bomb defense, chemical defense, design training, combat action training, and combat service.

140 pages.

It contains a lot of content, and comes with illustrations and detailed explanations.

The content is very easy to understand.

This thing came out in the 60s.

Xie Hongbing nodded: "Okay, let's practice our gun skills first..."

In fact, it is to disassemble the gun and understand the structure of your own gun.

"Hong Bing, Yang Zhiqing, the meeting has started."

While I was thinking, I heard Wang Guilan's voice coming from the door.

"Hey, here we are, Director Wang."

Xie Hongbing agreed and said to Xie Honglin, "Linzi, take them to get familiar with the place. Xiaole and I will go to the meeting."

Xie Honglin nodded: "Okay, then you go first!"

After agreeing, the two left the room.

Came to the place where we usually have meetings.

There was constant chatter in the room, all about today's events.

When they saw the two people come in, their eyes turned to Yang Xiaole.

Even Ma Sanquan smiled kindly.

Yang Xiaole took a look and found that all the production team leaders, accountants, and women's directors were present today.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's discuss a few things in today's meeting!"

Xie Laosi spoke first, and then said: "You have heard the broadcast, this is what happened! First, let me talk about the matter of the educated youths reclaiming wasteland. The notice has come down, and we will implement it. According to our village, each person will be allocated 2.8 acres. There are no paddy fields, only dry land. Try to pick the best land. After all, the educated youths will be part of us in the future."

After that, he looked at everyone and asked, "If there are no other questions, I'll go to the next one."

"Captain, should the crops grown by the educated youth be separated from ours, or counted separately? Also, who will be responsible for reclaiming the land? Should we help, or what should we do? Once the Lantern Festival is over, we have to compost the land, and there will be no time for reclaiming the land!"

The person asking the questions was naturally Ma Sanquan.

Xie Laosi nodded and said, "We won't be separated. We are all a collective. If we want to open up wasteland, let the educated youth do it themselves. We can't delay our spring ploughing."

For those students whose shoulders can carry the weight but whose hands cannot lift the weight.

Xie Laosi really has no confidence.

At the very least, we must maintain our original production.

After hearing this, everyone stopped talking.

Very understandable.

Then he said, "Then the next question! Piglets. We used to raise pigs collectively. There are not many piglets left. The collective needs to raise them, so there are not enough piglets. The commune certainly doesn't have that many either. Let's arrange someone to go to the county to buy some. Who will go?"

Hearing this, you looked at me and I looked at you.

In the past, each production team would keep the seeds and there was no need to go out and buy them.

However, as pig breeding has not been allowed in the past two years, the number of pigs has dropped directly, and the breeding of pigs by the production team has also remained at a certain scale.

Now that the policy has been suddenly relaxed, there aren’t that many piglets, so I must go out and buy some.

It’s not an easy task to bring pigs back from the county!
You have to know that there are more than a hundred of them.

You can't go too early, otherwise the pigs will freeze to death; you can't go too late, otherwise they won't be able to produce meat by the end of the year.

Xie Laosi looked around and said with a smile, "What's the matter? You were clamoring to raise it before, but now that you're allowed to raise it, you're silent again?"

After thinking for a while, he said, "How about this? Each production team can solve it on their own! The commune will let us solve it on our own anyway."

Ma Sanquan said with a smile: "Then let's just solve it together. By the way, Captain, can we get the money from the logging camp? If we can, we can use it to buy piglets and some livestock."

Hearing this, Xie Laosi took a puff of his cigarette with an expressionless face.

After thinking for a while, he finally nodded: "Then the team will make unified arrangements, and we will buy it after the New Year when it is not so cold."

"Captain, how much money does the lumberyard owe us? Over the past few years, it must be several thousand dollars!"

Ma Sanquan asked with a smile.

Xie Laosi glanced at him and said, "Haven't you always been against the logging camp?"

"It was the commune that disagreed before, not us!"

Ma Sanquan said with a smile: "Now that the commune has agreed, after all, this is also the brigade's industry, we have to pay attention to it!"

Yang Xiaole was there listening.

Some information has been known during this period.

The lumber camp is not the property of one team, but the property of the production brigade.

Several people had been opposing it before.

Xie Laosi has been relying on the people from Team 1 to protect the logging camp.

Now that they see the benefits, they come over to share the money.

After all, it is the brigade's industry, not the production team's industry.

It costs a lot of money to buy piglets.

Not counting the educated youth, there were more than a hundred households in the entire brigade, which meant more than a hundred heads of cattle. At twelve yuan per head, that would amount to more than a thousand yuan.

And from the looks of it, after buying the piglets, I can also buy a few other animals.

If a horse of lower quality cost 150 yuan each, and if one production team got one horse, that would still cost 900 yuan.

It’s more than two thousand dollars.

Be nice.

This is a lot of money in the village!

No wonder Xie Laosi wouldn't let go.

It’s worthy of being called Northeast China.

Compared with the Northwest, it is really much richer.

As for why the common people are poor, there are naturally reasons for this.

Xie Lao Si tapped the table lightly, and after a long while he smiled and said, "It's more than 3,000 yuan in total. Each family can buy a pig, and the remaining money can be used by each production team to buy two animals."

These words made everyone happy for a while.

Yang Xiaole looked at it.

I also know that Xie Laosi should make this decision.

At least now it seems that Xie Laosi is still a man who gets things done, not only for the production team, but also for the entire brigade.

My butt wasn't sitting crooked.

To be honest, if it were him, he would have scolded Ma Sanquan and the others a long time ago.

They were very enthusiastic when the project was about to be revoked, and now that the money has been divided, they are even more enthusiastic.

What about the face?

Don’t you even want to lose face?

"Captain, please put aside other matters for now. We are still short of a deputy captain and secretary. Should we ask the commune to assign someone?"

Suddenly, Ma Sanquan spoke.

These words made everyone quiet down.
