Chapter 255 Great Things
Before dinner, Li Jiasheng and Gao Ming came back from Yang's house. Gao Ming was fine, but Li Jiasheng had a smile on his face the whole time.
When they saw the gifts that Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen had helped prepare, they all expressed their gratitude.
Gao Ming, in particular, was so happy.
"Boss, sister-in-law, thank you so much. Not only have we been living and eating here for free for such a long time, but you also prepared gifts for my family."
Tan Chen punched him in the chest: "When did you become such a sissy?"
Shang Ruoting looked at Gao Ming with amusement: "They are not valuable things. It's just right for you to take them back and honor your elders."
Gao Ming nodded repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, the food in your house is delicious. I will bring it back to the capital, and my family will definitely like it."
Li Jiasheng did the same, sorting things in his hands and thanking them: "Boss, sister-in-law, on behalf of my comrades, I would like to express my gratitude to you."
As they were talking, Old Lady Shang came over and called everyone to have dinner.
Because Gao Ming and Li Jiasheng were about to leave, Mrs. Shang specially prepared several delicious dishes.
This can be considered a small farewell banquet, mixed with many emotions, including gratitude, gains, and reluctance to leave...
Early the next morning, Gao Ming and Li Jiasheng left Sihe Village carrying two large packages.
Tan Chen's home returned to its former tranquility.
February 2nd had just passed and the team was already preparing to arrange this year's work. At this time, shocking news came.
The entire Fengxian County received a new policy notice.
That is, the country plans to implement the household responsibility system, with Fengxian County as a pilot area.
Household contract responsibility system was implemented with the commune as the unit.
This news not only had a huge impact on the members, but even Shang Ruoting, who knew some of the later developments, found it very sudden.
According to her understanding of later generations, this policy of distributing property to households was first promulgated in 1978. It took more than two years of effort to implement it gradually.
Unexpectedly, the Sihe Village she came to was selected by the country as a pilot area. This means that their village will no longer have to participate in collective labor to earn work points this year. Instead, the land will be contracted to individuals, and each household will pay public grain according to the amount of land.
This news is great news for Shang Ruoting.
Before she actually put them into practice, she already had many reasonable plans in her mind.
Old Lady Shang and Tan Chen did not feel much about this. After all, they did not fully understand the benefits of dividing the property among households and had only heard about it.
The two also noticed that Shang Ruoting seemed very excited after hearing the news.
"Tingting, we don't even know whether distributing land to each household is a good thing or a bad thing, why are you so happy?" Old Mrs. Shang couldn't help asking.
Although Shang Ruoting knew many of the benefits of this, she couldn't tell them when it was clearly announced in the team. If people asked her how she knew these things, she wouldn't know how to explain it.
"Grandma, I just think that now that we have our own fields, we can plant whatever we want."
Old Mrs. Shang thought about it and it made sense. After all, she worked in the team and had to listen to the team's decisions on what to plant. Besides, the crops she planted did not belong to her.
However, Tan Chen was not as simple as Mrs. Shang thought.
"Wife, don't tell me that when we have land, you plan to build a greenhouse?"
Shang Ruoting hadn't considered this. For her, farming technology was as advanced as she wanted. After the land was contracted, she could develop agriculture as she pleased, which was better than working with limitations.
"It's not necessary to build greenhouses. Besides growing crops, you can also grow a lot of other things on the land."
After hearing her words, Tan Chen also became interested: "For example?"
This was the first time that Shang Ruoting had been questioned in this way by Tan Chen. She thought for a moment and replied, "Our village is close to the city, so we can grow vegetables and watermelons. If we have paddy fields, we can find some high-quality rice seeds to plant."
When it comes to high-quality rice seeds, Tan Chen is no stranger to it. He has seen the rice in his wife's space with his own eyes. The grains in each ear are full, and the yield is not comparable to those ordinary rice outside.
In fact, the rice planted in Shang Ruoting's space was a high-yield rice variety that she had just developed before she traveled through time.
This rice variety was developed after she conducted countless experiments and spent 6 years. At that time, she had no idea how many experimental fields she had used and how much effort she had put in.
When the first batch of rice seeds was successfully harvested, she carefully put them into the space, planning to write a report and wait for the leader's approval before handing it over to the country.
