The old man was buried in a cave.

(Shaanxi Cave)

The things Lu Cheng did for the villagers were naturally supported by the whole Shuangshui Village, and his prestige was greatly improved.

There were not many entertainment activities in those days, and when the villagers from various villages got together to brag and chat, they also spread Lu Cheng's reputation.

Country people value reputation very much. If you have a good reputation, you can get a good job anywhere.

Just like when Sun Shaoan started his own business later, he went to work in other towns. When others heard that it was Sun Shaoan who was the production team leader at the age of 18, they would give him some face.

Now, Lu Cheng has such a good reputation. Even the leaders of Shigejie Commune have heard about it. They said that they would wait until the end of the year to give Lu Cheng an advanced model and publicize it.

This is of course a good thing. Lu Cheng really needs such a good reputation if he wants to go out of Shuangshui Village in the future.

In recent days, the villagers of Guanzi Village also like to come to Lu Cheng for medical treatment and massage.

Lu Cheng naturally does not charge villagers from this village. After all, he also relies on the village brigade for support.

But villagers from other villages always have to pay for massage.

It is not like fever, cold and diarrhea, which only need treatment when they are sick. Those who come for massage are all old diseases, or to relieve pain and fatigue. Everyone needs it.

Spending 10 cents or 20 cents can greatly reduce pain and make work more energetic, so naturally some people are willing to do it.

Especially some families with better conditions will come to Lu Cheng for massage every now and then.

Just like the village party secretary Tian Futang, who is old and has many problems, he likes to ask Lu Cheng for massage.

In this way, the net profit of two or three cents, three or five cents a day has actually opened up a new source of income for Lu Cheng.

Although the income is not much, it is better than nothing.

This can be regarded as an unexpected success.

After more than a month, Lu Cheng's living costs have been greatly reduced, and he has earned more than ten yuan, and his savings are also increasing little by little.

Unconsciously, the weather has warmed up, and cotton jackets and trousers have returned to the wardrobe. People on the Loess Plateau have put on single clothes and single jackets, and they roll up their sleeves when working.

This morning, a large group of villagers had just finished their work in the fields. While the women went home to cook, Sun Shaoan gathered all the men.

Some people were puzzled: "Shaoan, don't we all work more and hold fewer meetings in our team? Why did you think of holding a meeting today?"

Tian Fugao was the first to stand up and said, "Don't worry, listen to Shaoan first."

Sun Shaoan saw that everyone was there, and began to say, "There is nothing else to do today, just talk about the issue of pig feed land. Mentioning pigs can make people upset. We don't have enough food now, who can afford to raise pigs?

But there is a policy from above to provide this fat pork to the workers, Only by providing food for the soldiers and their children, and letting the workers eat well, can we better build our country. The soldiers need not say more, they are defending their country, and it is their right to eat meat.

Now there is a policy that every household is allocated 4 mu of pig feed land. "

Tian Wanjiang on the side said: "Captain, we all know what you said. But how can the pig grass grown on this four mu of land be eaten by pigs? This pig is our ancestor now. If we don't let it eat enough, it will eat me."

Tian Fugao interrupted: "Uncle Wanjiang , who doesn't know about these things? Let's listen to Shaoan's arrangements first. "

"Don't worry, I think so. Look at our land. In addition to the land for growing crops, there are also some marginal and scattered lands. These places are barren anyway, and they can all be used to grow pig grass.

If we use these places to grow pig grass, we can occupy less arable land. We can produce more food and suffer less hunger. Don't you think so?"

"Singer" Tian Wanyou immediately became excited: "Shaoan, according to what you said , how much can one person get? "

"There are so many wastelands here, you can get as much as you can do. As long as you can ensure that the pigs are well fed, you can plant whatever you want on the rest. Even if you plant a money tree, that's fine."

Tian Wanyou was immediately happy, but then he continued: "Shaoan, there won't be any problems if you privately distribute land to everyone like this? You have two leaders above you, can the village party secretary agree?"

Accountant Tian Haimin also stood up: "Shaoan, if you distribute land to everyone, everyone will definitely support you

. But this matter has risks. Isn't there a saying that bad things can turn into good things, and good things can also turn into bad things. "

Sun Shaoan laughed: "Isn't there another saying that if you have food in your hands, you won't be panicked."

At this time, Lu Cheng stood up: "Shaoan, I definitely agree with you giving more land to everyone. Everyone's life is really hard, and they also need more land. But this matter is not easy to do. The village party secretary will not agree, and your second father, the director of the poverty management committee, will not agree.

What's more, the commune above will not allow it. Don't say that we are doing it secretly. This matter can't be concealed. There is no secret in our Shuangshui Village. If we divide more land, can we hide it from everyone? If someone secretly reports it at that time, you will be in big trouble. Maybe, the land is not divided, and you will be punished. "

Hearing this, Tian Fugao immediately supported: "Yes, Shaoan, we can't let you take a risk. "

Tian Haimin followed and said: "I also think what Lu Cheng said makes sense. Lu Cheng is a high school student and often reads newspapers. He must know more than us."

Sun Shaoan was suddenly poured with a bucket of cold water, and he was also a little disappointed: "Is this thing really impossible?"

"As long as the land is divided, you will have a handle in the hands of the village party secretary. Shaoan, don't forget that the village party secretary Tian Futang has always disagreed with you and Runye. If he knew about this and reported this to Xu Zhigong of the commune, you would be the negative example of the whole commune."

Hearing Lu Cheng's serious words, Sun Shaoan also calmed down a lot.

In fact, what Lu Cheng said happened in the original play, and Sun Shaoan did make a public review because of this, but he also gained more support from everyone because of this.

After all, Sun Shaoan was criticized for the collective.

But Sun Shaoan still didn't give up: "Lu Cheng, is this thing really impossible? ”

“It’s not that there is no hope. But we can’t do it in private and give people a handle. So, all the villagers in our brigade write a joint letter to express our determination and enthusiasm to complete the pig-raising task, explain the actual difficulties and situation, and propose some solutions, and report it to Director Xu Zhigong of the commune. If he agrees, we will have no problem at all.”

“But what if he doesn’t agree?”

“Then I will go with you and we will talk to Director Xu together. We farmers are so enthusiastic, Director Xu can’t discourage us, right?”

“What you said makes sense.”

“Lu Cheng’s idea is more reliable.”

“Okay, Lu Cheng will write this letter, and we will all put our fingerprints on it. ”

In this special era, good and bad things depend on how to deal with them and how to talk about them.

Privately dividing up public land is definitely problematic. But with permission from above, it’s different.

But no matter what, Lu Cheng’s approach is undoubtedly safer. Even if the commune director doesn’t agree in the end, there will be no loss, and no one will be criticized.
