In front of Youcaoling Village, there are flat fields, just like in Shaluo Village.
Behind the village was a mountain stream, which divided the fields into two halves, not as big as those in Sara Village.
On the mountain behind, where the slope is relatively low, some of the hills look like terraces, one after another.
But it is rather fragmented, with dozens of large and small hillside fields.
The houses in the village stretch for two miles, and the fields on the hillside behind are also that long.
Before they entered the village, they saw the team leader organizing the villagers to apply manure to the fields in front of the village to fertilize the land.
"Secretary Zhou, Director Wang, Secretary Zhao, has the relief grain for our village arrived?"
When Luo Fengquan saw that the two leaders of the commune had arrived, he hurried forward to greet them with a smile.
Secretary Zhou said, "You can take your people over to get the relief food in two days. We are here today to deliver some to you."
"Send it to someone, who?"
Director Wang pointed at Jiang Tang and said, "This is the team leader assigned by higher-ups, Jiang Tang, Secretary Jiang."
Luo Fengquan didn't look down on people like Zhang Maocheng did. He smiled and said, "Hello, Secretary Jiang. My hands were just digging manure, so I can't shake your hand."
Accountant Wang frowned and said, "Secretary, Director, the cadres assigned to our team are too young. Can they mobilize the villagers?"
Some young people in our village are now developing negative thoughts. They work hard every year, but never have enough food. Because our brigade is poor, girls from the surrounding areas are unwilling to marry into our brigade. What should we do?
Secretary Zhou winked at Jiang Tang, who hurriedly said, "Dear members, the higher-ups specifically assigned me to Youcaoling and Shaluo villages because they know the difficulties you're facing.
I am here to help everyone out of their predicament.
Although I am younger and may not have as much energy to work, I have the knowledge, different production ideas, and an innovative spirit, which can lead everyone to have surplus food every year and eat meat by saving energy.
You may think that I am bragging now, but please give me a chance, and I will definitely lead Youcaoling Village towards a good life where every family can build a new house and marry a daughter-in-law.
Let Youcaoling Village, which was ranked last, become an advanced brigade in the commune."
Sure enough, before Jiang Tang finished speaking, some villagers started laughing: "If it really happens as Mr. Jiang said, we would wake up laughing in our dreams."
Jiang Tang said, "Everyone, this is still a conservative statement."
"Haha, that's still conservative. If you can let me get married, I'll burn incense for you."
"Luo Xingquan, I'm here to help with production, not to be a matchmaker. You're crazy about wanting to get married."
"I'm not crazy. I've met five men in total, and three of them were rejected because our village is too poor."
"What do you mean by disdain for our village? It's obviously disdain for your family being poor."
"Zhang Laoer, don't just stand here and talk nonsense. Your son is not young anymore. When your son gets married, you will cry."
A loud-voiced Auntie Sa said, "Leader, this is really the situation in our village now. Girls from the neighboring villages are avoiding our village when looking for marriage proposals.
Alas, it is difficult for the young men in our village.
I heard that everyone in Shaluo Village has bought chemical fertilizers.
Unfortunately, our village has not yet found a place to stay.
Are the cadres who came to our village in charge of this? If so, can they help us get some fertilizer? "
Jiang Tang quickly replied, "Guess how much fertilizer you need? I can get it."
Luo Fengquan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Secretary Jiang, are you serious? You can get fertilizer."
"Yes." Jiang Tang was actually unsure, but everything is difficult at the beginning. As a new official, she had to keep things stable. No matter how difficult it was, she had to get the fertilizer for Youcaoling Village.
The accountant beside him smiled and said, "Secretary Jiang, five tons, five tons is enough."
Jiang Tang nodded: "When do you want it?"
Some villagers were even more anxious than the cadres and quickly interrupted, "It's going to be done in the next two days. We've already started tilling the soil in the next two days."
Luo Fengquan said: "The amount of manure we use now is not much, only enough for a dozen acres of land. Our village has more than a thousand people and a total of more than 700 acres of land. The yield is not very high. After paying the public grain every year, it is often not enough for the villagers to share.
Some time ago, the authorities were promoting chemical fertilizers. I heard that after using chemical fertilizers, one acre of land can increase grain production by more than 100 kilograms. The neighboring Shaluo Village even got some, but unfortunately our people arrived late, and now the fertilizer factory’s supplies are booked until the end of the month.
This month end will definitely affect sowing.
Not to mention five tons, we'd be happy if we could get three tons."
"Captain Luo, don't worry. Since I promised, I will definitely get it for you. I will go back today and find a way for the village.
If there is any news, I will inform the village."
Luo Fengquan said, "Okay, okay, Secretary Jiang, you've arrived just in time. The village's fertilizer supply depends on you. We're waiting for your good news."
So, Jiang Tang didn't even enter the village, and followed Secretary Zhou and the other leaders back the same way.
After returning to the commune, I didn’t even have lunch. I just picked up my bag and got on the bus to the county town.
Director Wang stood in the courtyard, watching the energetic Jiang Tang, and shook his head at Secretary Zhou: "You're still too young. Look, you've been fooled by Captain Luo, haven't you?"
The armed captain, who had walked over out of nowhere, said, "Hot-blooded foolishness! According to a report a while ago, fertilizer is being scrambled for by all the brigades. Some brigades went to the fertilizer plant, working two shifts in a row, waiting for a week before finally getting five bags of fertilizer. Just imagine how difficult it was."
