Chapter 52

The village began to get busy with spring plowing, sowing rice seeds to raise seedlings, leveling the ground, preparing for winter wheat harvest, plowing and so on.

Since Wei Hongzhi separated, her time has become more free.During the day, he spent most of the time with Ye Qiu.Because they are both pregnant women, the assigned tasks are similar, so they go to work together, leave work together, and review together.Share your feelings about being pregnant with a doll.

And Ye Qiu will write down the movements of the doll every day, like a diary.Then send it to Tang Weishan at the end of each month.However, every time Ye Qiu sent a letter, it would attract people's attention.Because the letter Ye Qiu sent was too thick, many postage stamps were pasted on it.

But Ye Qiu didn't intend to stop, she wanted Tang Weishan to start participating.Instead of being like an outsider, one day, he came back and found that there was suddenly another child, and he knew nothing about the child.That was not only unfair to the children, but also Tang Weishan's regret.

So during the Spring Festival, after seeing Tang Weishan's two brothers and their families reunited together, Ye Qiu came up with such an idea.

So, from then on, I wrote a baby diary.

After Tang Weishan received the thick letter, such a man's eyes were moist.The political commissar and Captain Lu glanced at this, and couldn't help but become curious about Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu was pregnant, and the baby not only lived up to expectations, but also loved her as a mother.There was no smell of oily smoke in just over a month.But after two months, Ye Qiu didn't have any pregnancy symptoms at all.Eating and drinking happily every day, if it wasn't for the growing belly, Ye Qiu would have doubted whether she was pregnant with a child.

When Ye Qiu was six months old, Wei Hongzhi was about to give birth.Then it was launched one pouring rain night.

When Ye Qiu heard Wei Hongzhi's cry from the bottom of the ridge in the house, she was going to visit her house, but it was raining heavily that night, and the Tang family wouldn't let her go out.So, Ye Qiu could only stay in the house, looking at Wei Hongzhi's roof outside the bamboo forest through the window.

Wei Hongzhi screamed in pain all night, and Ye Qiu couldn't sleep on the bed all night, his heart was so high, he kept praying for Wei Hongzhi to be safe.

At dawn, the rain gradually stopped.Following Wei Hongzhi's heartbroken cry, the voice stopped abruptly.

Ye Qiu thought that something happened, so he left and threw off the quilt and ran to the bed.Then I heard Tang Shunfen, the aunt who helped Xia Meihua deliver the baby, laughing.

"Dayongzi, congratulations! Hongzhi gave birth to a fat son for you."

"Grandma, thank you for your hard work, how is Hongzhi?" Tang Weiyong's voice was raised with eagerness.

"I'm tired from crying all night, and I'm lying down to rest now, it's okay, it's okay." Tang Shunfen said.

Yang Dazhen's voice came, "Gu Shun Fen, go downstairs and have a seat first."

After a while, Yang Dazhen's voice came again, "Keep your voice down, Hongzhi is resting. I'll make some soup for her."

No sound can be heard from behind.

But Ye Qiu knew that Wei Hongzhi had given birth safely, and his tense heart eased.

He went back to bed and lay down, but as soon as his tense emotions relaxed, he suddenly felt exhausted, and Ye Qiu also fell asleep in a daze.

Next, Wei Hongzhi began confinement.Today's weather is neither hot nor cold, and it is very comfortable to start confinement.Xia Meihua couldn't help being envious.

Ye Qiu also thought that when he gave birth, it happened to be the hottest season in summer, and he was a little scared when he thought about it.However, confinement can't be sloppy, no matter how hot it is, you still have to do it well, after all, your body is your own.

But on the tenth day of Wei Hongzhi's confinement, the peace of the village was broken by two things.

That morning, the brigade suddenly held an emergency meeting.

Ye Qiu also followed the Tang family to the ancestral hall.

The first thing is that the conference on the resumption of the college entrance examination was launched again. Although this meeting has not clearly decided to resume the college entrance examination.But one thing is clear, and that is to abolish the system of recommending poor and lower-middle peasants to go to college.

When Secretary Huang said this, Zhang Chenguo fainted on the spot.

Secretary Huang was also very guilty.

But he wasn't in the mood to care about Zhang Zhanguo anymore.There was still trouble waiting for him, so he asked two people to look after Zhang Chenguo.

Secretary Huang raised his hand and said again, "Comrades, a notice has been announced." After a pause, he said, "The country is going to distribute the land to everyone, but..."

Tang Weitian jumped up in shock, "Secretary Huang, this news is not deceptive."

"Yes, yes... Is it really distributed to us?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone started to ask questions in a hurry, and the audience was suddenly noisy.The chirping interrupted what Secretary Huang was saying.

Secretary Huang's face was full of black lines, and he didn't finish his sentence.But he wanted to stop the atmosphere of the scene, but his voice was lost in the noisy voices.

The village director was more winking, walked to the place where the trumpet was placed in the ancestral hall, "Hey, hey, hey." After yelling three times, he said, "Be quiet, Secretary Huang still has something to say."

Everyone stopped talking and all stared at Secretary Huang.

Secretary Huang cleared his throat, "Although we want to distribute the land to everyone, the land still belongs to the state, and we have to sign a household contract responsibility system contract with the state."

As soon as these words were uttered, many people muttered, "Isn't this the same as working for landlords in the old society?" But they dare not say these words out loud.But most of them were obviously not happy when they heard that they were going to sign a household contract responsibility system.

Tang Weitian frowned, and when he was about to speak, Xia Meihua pinched him severely.

Ye Qiu looked at it and wanted to laugh.

Secretary Huang added, "This is only experimental. Our household contract responsibility system contract will stipulate our obligations and rights, as well as the specifications for handing in grain. As long as we hand in the grain stipulated by the state, the rest will be our own. Yes. There is a village in the northeast that did this in the second half of last year. I heard that after handing in the grain stipulated by the state, each family had at least 200 catties of grain left over in half a year, and those with high yields had more than 300 catties left. "

As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked again.Two or three hundred catties, five or six hundred catties a year.In Jianshe Village, a family of four eats carefully, eats about [-] catties a year, and at least [-] to [-] catties of grain can be left over, and a thousand catties of grain can be saved in five years.

The villagers suddenly boiled up.

"Be quiet." Secretary Huang waved his hand, and everyone quickly quieted down this time. "The village in the northeast is just a case. I don't know if other places can meet the requirements. So this time the country symbolically selected a few Place. We chose City C in the southwestern area, and we arrived at Wudu Town after the first-level division. Ten villages were selected in the town. Our Jianshe Village is one of them. However, once the responsibility system contract is signed, it cannot be completed. The food that the state stipulates to hand over is responsible.”

After the beginning of last year, the above-mentioned elders passed away one after another.Then there seemed to be some leaderless dragons.Not only began to lay off workers in the city, but also shortened the food supply.A state-owned coal mining factory has brought its attention to the countryside.In the second half of the year, I encouraged a village in the northwest to distribute the land to individuals.After the output, the public grain is paid first, and the rest belongs to oneself.Because there was a lot of surplus grain, all of it was sold to that factory.

This matter was reported to the above.I thought that the factory director and political commissar would have to step down and wear a high hat, but I didn't expect to be praised this time.Then the higher-ups specially sent a research team to the village in the northeast to investigate.This method has been figured out above, and it will be tested in a few places across the country.If successful, it can be implemented on a large scale.

After Secretary Huang heard about it at a meeting in the town, he thought about it carefully and felt that this method was feasible.So I recommended Jianshe Village, although I felt it was a pity.But the pros and cons have to be clarified.

After Secretary Huang said the last words, the villagers fell silent.

After the meeting, everyone asked how the contract was stipulated and how much food was handed over.

The initial regulation of the village is to distribute the grain output of the village to the individuals equally.The food output that no one gets is basically the same.As for those who only get the land, each person receives a total of [-] catties of staple food, [-] catties of wheat, and [-] catties of rice every year.

But the contracted fields cannot be chosen casually.

Because Jianshe Village is located in a mountainous area, there is a large disparity in field output.Therefore, for the sake of fairness, the cadres of the brigade negotiated and divided them according to the output.Divide the field into first, second, third and fourth grades.

The first-grade field produces six to seventy catties of grain, the second-grade field is about forty to fifty catties, the third-grade field is [-], and the fourth-grade field is very poor. Basically, it is near the forest and some places that are shaded.

Then follow the principle of reducing the area of ​​fields with high yields and increasing the area of ​​fields with low yields.

For example, in a first-class field, one point is one point.As the output of the second-level field is only forty to fifty catties, in order to achieve the same output as the first-level field, the area will be larger.It may be that the area is [-]/[-].The area of ​​the third-level field is a little bit larger, reaching two points or two points and five points.

Small-scale farming is coming soon, and the village organizes people to measure the area and divide the fields while organizing work.The village plans to formally realize the contract system after harvesting winter wheat and transplanting rice seedlings.

In the first year, it is not strong for everyone to participate.

You can contract as much as you are willing to contract, but it cannot exceed the limit in the village.The food handed over is calculated according to the proportion.For example, the village stipulates that each person's field area limit is eight points, if only four points are contracted, then forty catties of grain will be handed over.

At that time, the principle of fairness will also be adopted, and everyone will draw lots to get the number.

After getting that place, the field and crops will be managed by that person himself in the later stage.In the same way, the food handed in also belongs to that person.As for this season's winter wheat, the village will collectively hand over the grain, and the rest will be distributed to each household according to the work.

The Tang family couldn't sleep because of this news.Most people want to contract the land, but they are worried that they will not be able to pay the food.

Tang Chuanhe and Zhou Ju are old, and they are still dating a young Yaomei, if they are contracting the land.I was worried that I couldn't do it, after all, they were all old.

Tang Weishi and Yao Xiaolan planned to contract the land.There are five people in their family, and they need 350 catties of grain a year.The five members of the family can have nearly three mu of land according to the first-class field, and the average per mu is 1000 catties, which is also [-] catties of grain. After deducting the hand-in and food, their family can have more than [-] catties left.

However, in a mountainous area like Jianshe Village, it all depends on manpower.For a field of more than three acres, two people planted it, which is still enough.And if the weather is not good, three to five hundred catties of grain would be a huge amount.

But Tang Weitian didn't want to contract the land. During the discussion, he frowned and said, "Is there any difference in this old society for working for the landlord's family?"

Tang Chuanhe glared at Tang Weitian, "It's better than relying on work points to distribute food."

Tang Weitian was silent when he heard the words.

Tang Chuanhe said again, "Let's work hard as a family, and we don't have to worry about not being able to pay the food." After finishing speaking, he added, "The fifth brother is related to the army, so the land must not be divided. But the fifth daughter-in-law is in the village, and she also contracts Come on, leave a retreat for the future."

Ye Qiu saw that he was talking about himself, so he said, "Dad, I don't want to contract the land." Just now, Tang Chuanhe looked at Ye Qiu with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe it.The others also looked at her in surprise.

Ye Qiu quickly explained, "I want to contract Guanyin Mountain."

Everyone was puzzled when they heard the words. Tang Weitian seemed to have sensed something, and quickly asked, "Fifth brother and sister, there are only firewood and trees in Guanyin Mountain. What did you contract for?"

"Currently, we are preparing to contract raising chickens and ducks and planting trees."

"Chickens and ducks and planting trees? Now they are not allowed to be bought or sold, so what are you raising them for?" Tang Weitian was a little impatient, but Ye Qiugang asked again.

"Can you let your siblings finish talking before you open your mouth?" Xia Meihua hugged her daughter and slapped Tang Weitian on the back.

"Sisters and sisters, tell me, tell me." Tang Weitian said with some embarrassment.
