"Hongguang Brigade is the town of Hongguang Commune. It has more land and is also the advanced brigade of our commune. All the benefits in the town go to the advanced brigade.
Shilin Brigade is located on the east side of the commune, next to the main road, not far from Xiangyang Commune, and competes with Hongguang Brigade for the first place every year.
Zhangwan Brigade is located in the south of the commune. The terrain is flat and next to the highway. The real estate has been good in the past two years.
Liulin Brigade is not close to the highway, but there is a calm river there with many willow trees on both sides. Last year, they sold willow trees and increased the income of Liulin Brigade a lot.
The farthest ones are Youcaoling Village and Shaluo Village.
The two teams are located next to the mountains, in a winding path, and not close to the main road. Shaluo Village is next to a bend in the river, and the river is fast-flowing. When it rains heavily, some crops will always be flooded.
The farthest place from the commune is Youcaoling, which takes an hour to get there by bike."
On the way, Secretary Zhou introduced to her the situation of several brigades in the commune.
The best ones at the moment are the Hongguang Brigade and the Shilin Brigade.
The worst are the two brigades of Youcaoling and Shaluo, which are close to the mountains.
Secretary Zhou gave a sporadic introduction on the road for an hour, but half an hour of this hour was a bumpy and muddy dirt road. In some sections, there were large potholes on the ground with some water accumulated.
I don’t know when the rain started, but it hasn’t dried up yet.
"Leader, can't a carriage pass this road?" At the narrowest part, she could see carriage tracks winding into the fields. "Why didn't you think of asking the team to repair it?"
Director Wang sighed and said, "Why didn't you tell me? We repaired it a few years ago, but the land here belongs to Shaluo Village. They said it was taking up their farmland and they didn't want it. When they were planting crops, they planted a few acres outside."
Jiang Tang asked, "Is there a feud between Shaluo Village and Youcaoling Village?"
Secretary Zhao, who was following, said, "Yes, it was caused by a fight over a small hill."
Secretary Zhou had only been here for two years and had heard this story from the village elders: "That small hill is right in the middle of two villages, and there's a river between them. The river divides the hill in two, with the half near Youcaoling having more land. At that time, land reclamation was encouraged.
At that time, Shaluo Village opened first, but was delayed due to some issues.
Later, Youcaoling Village was completely opened up. Naturally, Shaluo Village was not happy about it, saying that Youcaoling Village was occupying their land.
Director Wang, a native of this area, knows a lot: "At the time, the situation even reached the commune. By then, Youcaoling Village had already been planted with crops, so the commune gave the land to Youcaoling Village. However, the first year's grain was to go to Shaluo Village. At that time, food was scarce, and the two brigades were so close, backed by mountains, that land was scarce. Every grain of rice was precious, let alone so much. Youcaoling Village naturally didn't want to, and the two villages couldn't reconcile, so the issue remained shelved. Ever since then, there's been a rift between the two villages."
A few years ago, both villages replaced their team leaders.
The relationship between the two young captains has become even more strained because they both have a crush on the same person. In the past two years, intermarriage has been banned in both villages."
Jiang Tang secretly lit a candle for herself. The two villages she took over were a bit like Romeo and Juliet.
Secretary Zhou was afraid of scaring Jiang Tang, so he smiled and said, "Although the two villages don't get along, no one dares to be careless when it comes to increasing production for the country. The captain of Shaluo Village is Captain Sun Maocheng. He has a loud voice and is impulsive, but he has strong organizational skills and everyone in the team listens to him.
The village chief of Youcaoling is Luo Fengquan. He's a calm, energetic, and responsible man. In the five years since taking over, he's reclaimed twenty acres of farmland in Youcaoling. However, Youcaoling has a large population, and they live right next to a mountain. Wild boars and cattle in the mountains often destroy crops every year. After paying the public grain tax, the village still doesn't have enough to cover the population, so they always have to ask the commune for relief grain.
Along the way, several leaders first gave Jiang Tang a general account of the situation of the two brigades.
We soon arrived at Sara Village.
After the main road, there is a small road of several hundred meters leading to the village. There are fields on both sides of these several hundred meters.
The wheat has just been harvested and the fields look very empty.
This village is not as densely populated as Zhangwan Village, which they just passed by.
The village is not big, and the houses are scattered at the foot of the mountain.
There are probably more than forty households.
As soon as the few people entered the village, some villagers who knew them greeted Secretary Zhou and his friends with a smile.
"Secretary Zhou."
"Is Old Zhang in good health recently?"
"I'm fine."
"Is your captain at the brigade headquarters?"
"No, he's leading the young men in the north."
When Secretary Zhou heard this, he took them to the north of Shaluo Village.
The north land is behind the village, a large field, and behind the fields are mountains.
After they passed the village, they could see a group of people digging in the fields from a distance because there were no crops to block their view.
Some members of the cooperative saw them from a distance.
"Captain, Secretary Zhou and Director Wang are here to see you."
Sun Maocheng naturally saw it too. He dropped the farm tools in his hands and walked over to greet them. He smiled from a distance and said, "Secretary Zhou, Director Wang, and Secretary Zhao are here too. What brings you here today?"
Secretary Zhou stopped the car and said, "Captain Sun is here. Has the fertilizer arrived in your village? They've all started digging the ground."
Sun Maocheng patted his chest and smiled, "Secretary, it's in place. Yesterday I brought back three tons of fertilizer from the county. You don't know how hard it is to get fertilizer these days. My fellow villagers and I waited for three days before we got it. Even Caozi Village couldn't get it before us."
Director Wang smiled and said, "Great! With the fertilizer, you will definitely have a good harvest this autumn."
