Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 154 Half-year dividend! Rumors again?

The ten days in Huangshiling Village can be said to be the most tiring ten days for Fang Hongan this year.

It’s similar to last year when we had to go up the mountain to dig honey and clean out the ghost bees.

The direct result was that Fang Hongan lost several pounds.

Over the past few months, my skin, which had been whitening with great effort, has turned darker again.

So much so that, back home.

After impatiently taking little Fang Yuelan from Lan Wenxiu's arms, the little girl stared at Fang Hongan for a while with her big, bright eyes.

Suddenly he waved his chubby little hands vigorously and burst into tears.

Xiao Nuannuan, who is over half a year old, is already a little shy.

After not seeing each other for more than ten days, he had obviously forgotten his previous close relationship with Fang Hongan.

In this situation, it was obvious that Fang Hongan was unrecognizable.

Faced with this crying and twisting little ball, even if Fang Hongan had lived two lives as a human being, he was helpless.

"Nuan Nuan! It's Daddy! Daddy!"

Lan Wenxiu played with him for a while, feeling both amused and helpless.

The little guy didn't listen at all.

The movements and cries became louder.

He twisted his body and reached out to Lan Wenxiu.

It seemed as if he wanted his mother to save him.

Seeing this, Lan Wenxiu was at her wit's end.

He could only take Xiao Nuannuan over, reach out his hand, and pat her on her little butt through her clothes.

"You are such a heartless girl! Daddy works so hard outside and you still don't recognize him when he comes home!"

"Spank you!"

……

That expression of pretended anger was meant to vent Fang Hongan's anger.

I also feel sorry for Fang Hongan.

However, Xiao Nuannuan listened to her lecture.

He immediately stopped crying and started giggling.

"Hongan!"

Lan Wenxiu was so amused that she was speechless. She turned to look at Fang Hongan and said, "How do I see... your little cotton-padded jacket is like the black-hearted cotton you said!"

"How about... hurry up and have another one?" Fang Hongan winked at him.

Lan Wenxiu understood what he meant and glanced at Fang Hongan coquettishly: "You've just come back from such a tiring journey, how can you not be tired!"

"I'll be teaching people in the breeding shed for the next few days! I went to bed early last night, so I'm not tired!"

Fang Hongan blinked his eyes and revealed a very confident look.

"Nuannuan hasn't slept yet!" Lan Wen's eyes were full of charm, "Wait until I coax her to sleep!"

……

The door is closed.

Even during the day.

Looking at this scene.

Some people who had heard the news and wanted to come over immediately stopped.

At night.

People kept coming in and out of the mud house.

The first to arrive were Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao.

For the past ten days, the two of them have been managing the apiary affairs.

Now that Fang Hongan is back, he will definitely come here to report as soon as possible.

Both of them are familiar with Fang Hongan's temperament.

Basically, I just talk about the important points.

To sum up, there are mainly four aspects.

First, on the conventional side, the output and sales situation of the apiary.

Second, it is the dynamics of the cooperating beekeepers.

The third is the latest developments of agricultural school students at the production, education and research base.

After reporting one by one, the first three aspects can be summarized in one word - smooth.

The bee farm has smooth honey collection, high yield and smooth sales.

Things are also going smoothly for the cooperating beekeepers. Nowadays, most beekeepers have about five beehives.

For some households, the scale of breeding has reached 15 boxes.

At the industry-university-research base, results are constantly emerging.

Through their research, they have promoted two more technologies and techniques to bee farms and breeders.

Moreover, these two things can actually increase honey production.

So, after listening to this.

Fang Hongan also briefly told the two of them about the situation at the ghost bee breeding farm in Huangshiling.

I heard that not only has the breeding farm been built and the bees have been harvested, but the winery is also being built.

They were both quite excited.

Especially the part about professional cooperatives, which broadened the minds of the two people.

In excitement, they mentioned whether they should also help run a beekeeping cooperative and a wine-making cooperative.

Fang Hongan had already foreseen this proposal from the two.

In this life, with the success of beekeeping.

With changes in family circumstances, starting a family and building a career, my horizons have also been broadened.

Plus, I have been following myself, influenced by myself, and followed my own advice, reading more books and newspapers in my free time...

The way these two people think about problems and their abilities have greatly improved.

From the establishment of Shizhaiping Winemaking Cooperative, it is not difficult to see the benefits brought by the cooperative, and it is reasonable to put forward this suggestion.

Fang Hongan felt relieved and nodded first.

Agreed with the two's idea of ​​forming a winemaking cooperative.

And, just let the two of them do the actual work.

However, the beekeeping cooperative...

Fang Hongan shook his head and rejected it.

In fact, when I first founded the apiary.

Fang Hongan has thought about this issue before, whether he should adopt the current breeding farm approach to encourage villagers to cooperate in beekeeping, or to set up a professional breeding cooperative.

Finally, after careful consideration, Fang Hongan decided to set up a bee farm and use the bee farm to encourage villagers to cooperate in beekeeping.

This is certainly because Fang Hongan has some selfish motives.

But more importantly, Fang Hongan’s expectations for the bee industry definitely exceed those for winemaking.

Fang Hongan’s vision is to build Linyuan Honey into the national leader in the bee industry.

Moreover, through the promotion of this industry core, it radiates to other food manufacturing, health care products, and cosmetics industries...

In this case, it is necessary to maintain Linyuan Honey as the core, with strong driving force and strict execution.

Also, try to minimize interference from the outside world.

Independent and have absolute voice.

Based on this, it would be completely unfeasible to adopt a loose and large structure like a cooperative.

According to Fang Hongan's idea, he would first maintain the model of the apiary and processing plant, and then switch to the company model when the time is right.

……

I revealed some of this meaning to the two of them.

The two heard Fang Hongan’s grand vision plan.

It was both shocking and exciting.

With their hearts surging, their eyes turned red...

Send them both away.

Next, several breeders in the village came to visit.

These are people who come to deliver things to your door.

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon.

In Xin County, eating rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival is not popular.

Instead, we eat rice dumplings during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Sounds unbelievable, right?
But it is true.

In his previous life, Fang Hongan had specifically thought about the reason.

But there are different opinions about the reasons.

Some say that it is because Xin County is a barbarian area and is located in a remote area. When the news of Qu Yuan's suicide by jumping into the river reached it, it was already the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the custom of eating rice dumplings during the Mid-Autumn Festival was formed.

Some people also say that eating zongzi is not to commemorate Qu Yuan, so...

Fang Hongan thinks that a more reliable statement is:

Because the Dragon Boat Festival in May is the time when there is a shortage of food in rural areas.

In an era of low grain production, this is often the time when the old grain has been eaten and the new grain has not yet arrived.

Many families can only fill their stomachs by eating wild vegetables, brown rice and shredded sweet potatoes.

Where would there be extra rice to make rice dumplings?

By the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, it is the time to harvest and the new rice is on the market.

Only at this time are the conditions perfect for making all kinds of rice dumplings.

As for mooncakes?

This thing was definitely a rare item in the rural areas of Xin County before the 21st century.

……

Anyway, no matter what.

This custom has always been followed in the entire Xin County.

Until... after 2010, the era of information explosion.

With the promotion of various networks and the unremitting marketing efforts of various businesses, the situation has gradually changed.

So although the things sent by these farmers are all agricultural products, they are basically farm products such as rice cakes, chickens, ducks and geese.

Although I know that these people have some ulterior motives.

But faced with these, Fang Hongan couldn't refuse.

Just let Lan Wenxiu write them all down.

When there is a chance, I will give it back as a gift.

Send these gift givers away.

The night was already dark.

Little friend Fang Yuelan has been a little naughty recently and has been sleeping a little late at night.

Fang Hongan took the baby over and started teasing him when he had time.

The little guy woke up from a nap in the afternoon and seemed to have finally found his conscience.

This is Fang Hongan.

The two of them lay on the bed, having a lot of fun.

Lan Wenxiu finished her work and walked to the door of the inner room when she saw the harmonious scene between the two.

While smiling, she couldn't help but touch her belly.

Belly! Belly!
You must strive to do well!

Have both a son and a daughter sooner.

Once the two kids are grown up a little, she will have time to help Hongan with all her strength.

This left him alone to support the family.

Lan Wenxiu feels distressed!
……

...set things up at home.

The second day after returning to the village.

As usual, Fang Hongan visited several apiaries.

It's mainly to express condolences.

At present, each bee farm has a backbone that can support it.

The responsible persons have also been identified.

People like Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao no longer have to guard the apiary themselves.

With the protection of Huang Bin and other ten people, the breeding farm is completely on the right track.

During this period of high honey flow, the output is also rising steadily.

Along the way, it can be said that it is a thriving scene.

Fang Hongan also took the opportunity to say some inspiring words, and after returning, he discussed it with Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao.

At the beginning of July, we held a dinner to celebrate the half-year dividends.

Come up with an incentive system for a half-year award.

A portion of the profits will be used to reward all farm employees.

The amount allocated to each person may not be much.

But the win is the sense of ceremony!
Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao also quite agree with this.

Last year’s New Year’s Eve dinner was quite successful.

As for the pioneering half-year award, the effect will surely be great.

And with the discussion.

Wang Tong even felt that the cooperative breeders should also be involved.

Fang Hongan's eyes lit up when he heard this suggestion.

He simply waved his hand and changed the theme of the event to a half-year dividend distribution event.

Based on this, Fang Hongan led the two people and went directly to find the old branch secretary.

The party secretaries of Jiangjialing and Xichongling villages were also called over.

Discuss together the dividend dinner for the next six months.

Because there are currently more than 500 cooperating farmers.

Even if there is only one representative from each household.

That number of people is also not small.

Moreover, this time Fang Hongan is prepared to be more generous and allow two representatives from each family.

In this way, plus the employees of the apiary.

The scale reached more than a hundred tables.

This would be handled by the apiary in Shiwan Village.

First, there is a shortage of manpower.

The second reason is that there is no suitable place to hold the event, and resources are also somewhat scarce.

The purpose of calling these village party secretaries over was to listen to their opinions and find a suitable place to handle the matter.

After listening to Fang Hongan’s idea.

The eyes of these three branch secretaries lit up and they looked at Fang Hongan with great satisfaction.

The Linyuan Bee Farm is now going smoothly, bringing huge profits to each village and giving hope to many families...

Throughout Dongling, there has been endless praise and gratitude towards Linyuan Bee Farm and Fang Hongan!

But this forest is so big that there are all kinds of birds.

Especially some people who were excluded from the cooperation, they were also spreading all kinds of rumors.

Some say that Fang Hongan is a black-hearted capitalist and that cooperative beekeeping is for ulterior motives, while others simply define Fang Hongan as a black-hearted capitalist and that this so-called cooperative beekeeping is just for plunder...

Anyway, regarding this rumor.

Although they are also trying their best to fight back.

But some people, out of jealousy, do evil things in the dark without any conscience...

This is also what they have been worried about.

But now, Fang Hongan proposed this plan.

That would undoubtedly be a powerful response to these rumors.

After being relieved, the three of them started a fierce competition for the right to host the semi-annual bonus distribution meeting.

In the end, old Party Secretary Wang Xiangshun, who had the advantage of being at home, grabbed the hosting rights with a domineering attitude.

As for the remaining two branch secretaries, Fang Hongan said that such dividend distribution meetings will be held every six months in the future.

A rotating venue model is adopted.

The two of them wiped away the disappointment on their faces and nodded in satisfaction.

This was held in Shanmuling Village.

But this matter may be a major event involving three villages.

The two party secretaries of Jiangjialing and Xichongling said that it would be best for the three villages to handle it together and hold it jointly.

After the old branch secretary Wang Xiangshun nodded.

The three of them began to discuss some details of the event excitedly without paying attention to the people around them.

That focused posture...

On the contrary, Fang Hongan, Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao seemed a little redundant.

Wait for the three of them to discuss it.

So he began to prepare non-stop.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, it will be the end of June.

The time is quite close.

Three villages participated in this event, with more than a hundred tables.

The preparation period takes a long time.

As the three branch secretaries began to take action, news of the dividend dinner in the past six months quickly spread throughout the three villages.

This time, the whole village was shocked again.

Not only are there proactive responses, but there are also many people willing to help.

Some people are even willing to donate their chickens, ducks and other supplies for free...

More conscious is.

I heard.

This time, the apiary will give some special rewards to all the cooperative breeders, not only the large breeders.

There will also be an additional dividend distribution generally.

In addition, all the honey payments for the first half of the year will be settled in one lump sum.

The beekeepers were even more excited.

Nowadays, the honey sales channels of Linyuan Bee Farm are booming.

But the benefits they gain are real.

Sales have a payment cycle, and they know this very well.

Large food factories in provinces and regions, for example, certainly won't pay the full amount for the goods at once.

Basically, there will be a backlog.

Previously, in the signed cooperative beekeeping agreement.

They have also negotiated with the apiary.

In the early stage, when purchasing the bee farm, 70% of the purchase price was paid on the spot.

The remaining 30% is settled at the end of the year.

But on the bee farm side, not only do they settle the accounts in advance, but they also get more dividends.

This unexpected surprise made them excited, but at the same time, they couldn't help but think of those who spread the rumors.

This is a good thing that has benefited the entire Dongling, but there are still people spreading rumors and slandering it?

Most of the simple farmers find it infuriating to raise animals here.

As a result, many people spontaneously began to organize themselves to refute those who spread rumors behind the scenes, saying bad things about Linyuan Bee Farm and Fang Hongan.

For a moment, all the rumors were suppressed.

Some people with ulterior motives have begun to dig out those evil-minded people who are hiding behind the scenes and spreading rumors.

Under this excavation.

Unsurprisingly, many of the rumor leaders pointed to the three brothers of the Xie family in Shiwan Village.

People in each village have long been disgusted with these three brothers.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, a massive expedition team was formed...

We need to confront the three brothers of the Xie family directly.

As for this action, the old branch secretary Wang Xiangshun had heard about it a long time ago.

But they also turned a blind eye.

They just gave the leader a rule that he couldn't take any action, and then left him alone.

On the other side, after receiving the news.

The three brothers of the Xie family were so scared that they fled into the mountains overnight.

He left his wife and children alone at home, and was scolded to death...

The three hid in the mountains for three days and three nights. Finally, they could not hold on any longer and sneaked into the village under the cover of darkness.

I wanted to go home quietly.

But it was still discovered.

Although I recognized them as the three brothers long ago.

But the person who arrested them was actually the village militia captain, who was leading his men on patrol.

At that moment... an idea suddenly occurred to me.

The old branch secretary said that we couldn’t go to their house and do anything.

But it doesn't say that we can't take action under such circumstances.

They sneaked into the village like thieves, acting as militia.

I caught a thief and attacked him, which doesn't count as assault.

So, a group of militiamen pinned the three men to the ground and started beating them.

Then they tied him up again, treated him like a thief, and took him directly to the village square, where gongs and drums were beaten.

When beating the men, the militia deliberately avoided hitting their vital parts, but even so, they still left the three men with bruises and swollen faces.

When they were tied up in the square, at first glance many people couldn't tell that they were these three brothers.

It was not until these three people cried and begged for mercy and stated their identities that many people recognized them.

But precisely because of the recognition, the ridicule and condemnation became even louder.

There was a tendency to beat up all three of them again.

In the end, Fang Hongan was afraid that someone would be killed, so he rushed in and out to calm the gathered crowd.

The three people who were scared to death were untied.

Anytime...

It is said that after the three brothers returned home, none of them dared to go out for ten days.

From then on, he never dared to make up any rumors again.

The three loudspeakers turned into three dumb ones...

According to Shiwan Village, this is also Fang Hongan's way of getting rid of the three evils in the village...

After that, the credit was attributed to Fang Hongan.

Fang Hongan was even more grateful and supportive.

These three people demonstrated...

The other black-hearted people also shut their mouths obediently...

Of course, these are all things for later.
