Chapter 110 Unity and Cooperation for Common Development
Lin Momo didn't see Cheng Jinghao's expression behind her, but she felt that the aura of the soldier behind her had changed.
"I know, you thought that you only grew barley before, and that the food and money you were given every year were enough for you."
She glanced at the people on the stage. Sure enough, the expressions are similar. "Is there anyone in the village who has been to school and knows how to read? The educated youth should send a representative."
The people on the island looked at each other, not knowing what she was going to do.
"What I have in my hands are the harvests and incomes of your Bu Ri and Dari villages in recent years, as well as the grain and money distributed to the villagers." She picked up the data she had copied down in the commune from the table.
"I have attended high school." The person who answered was the village chief's son.
"Change another villager." She smiled. The village chief's son naturally knew the situation in his village.
"If you have attended junior high school and can read, is that okay?" another young man said.
"Okay." She nodded, and the educated youth sent the person in charge of their educated youth site.
They each picked up a piece of paper and looked at it, while Lin Momo began to explain in front of the loudspeaker.
"Buzhi Village is the village with the largest population, the largest area, and the best soil in the Nanlong team; while Dari Village is the village with the smallest population, the largest area, and the worst soil in the Nanlong team."
"But every year, after deducting the money earned by the village, the least a household in Dari Village can earn is 79.7 yuan. And in Buri Village, the least a household can earn is 45.7 yuan, and this amount is filled in with the money earned by the village."
The villagers knew that the village had given the money to their family, but they did not know that other villages had not touched the village's money and that they had more money than theirs.
As if to confirm Lin Momo's words, the teacher looked at the educated youth and the young man on the stage and got their nods.
"The Nanlong team has already built a village committee and installed loudspeakers in other villages. Some villages have even saved money. As long as there is a policy to buy tractors in southern Tibet, they will buy them immediately."
After hearing her words, the villagers began to talk about it.
“The village hasn’t had electricity yet. Think about it yourself. Among the villages in Nanlong Team, will you be the first to have electricity? Even if it is you, can your village afford the money?” Lin Momo’s voice was very soft, and her questions seemed to penetrate into the hearts of the villagers.
"Your village has asked, there are three high schools in total. If the commune has places for workers, peasants and soldiers to study, will it be your turn?"
"If you really don't want to grow rice, it's okay. We will apply to the higher authorities and Buri Village will withdraw from this rice planting."
Lin Momo wanted to help us, otherwise they wouldn't have come several times just to cultivate and maintain the land, but in the end we still have to figure it out by ourselves.
She didn't look at the reactions of the people on the stage, but turned to look at the people behind her.
Cheng Jinghao understood immediately with just one look from her, and shouted for people to start preparing to move the loudspeaker.
"Wait, wait, Technician Lin, don't." The village chief and the village secretary immediately became anxious.
"Technician Lin, can you say a few words?" The captain stepped forward and glanced at Cheng Jinghao and others before speaking to Lin Momo.
"Captain 꺶, please go ahead." She made a gesture of invitation and gave the position of the loudspeaker to Captain 꺶.
The captain stood in front of the loudspeaker and cleared his throat twice.
"Fellow villagers, I am not here to persuade you to grow rice. I am only here to tell you something I witnessed."
"When I went to Dari Village yesterday, I passed by the military district family compound. The land nearby had been reclaimed by the family members and they were cultivating the land. The cow dung from the military district was not enough for them to cultivate the land, so they carried the cow dung back from the pasture themselves."
"Don't you have money? Don't you have food coupons? And there are greenhouses in the staff quarters where people grow vegetables."
"Don't you want to eat the white rice?" Captain 꺶 looked at the others.
Those who were talking about it fell silent. Who doesn’t like white rice?
"You are all familiar with Brigade Commander Cheng. Technician Lin is 놛's wife."
"We just had triplets a few years ago. In order to serve as a technician for our Nanlong team and teach them how to grow rice, Technician Lin stopped breastfeeding us as soon as our children were born."
People at the bottom of the village began to talk about it, especially those who were already mothers. In order to teach them how to grow rice, the forest technician actually left three babies at home.
"Technician Lin, let's learn."
"Yes, we must study hard and live up to your kindness."
"Yes, grow rice well, and then we will build a village committee and install loudspeakers in our village."
"......"
The villagers' words came one after another.
“Yes, village head, village secretary, you don’t have to give us the village’s money in the future. We can earn it by ourselves.” A villager said openly.
"Will we not even have a few dollars a year in the future?" some aunts worried.
"If you work hard, you will earn money. When it's time to grow barley, you can open up more land and plant more barley."
“Then you two should work hard and earn money to marry you off. Otherwise, girls from other villages won’t even want to see you when they hear you’re from our Buri village.” The aunt just now pointed at the two guys beside her and said.
Hearing the villagers' words, each one full of encouragement, Lin Momo smiled happily.
The happiest people were the village head and the village secretary. Their years of hard work and concern were not worth a few words from the forest technician and the team leader.
Captain 꺶 walked up to the village head and the village secretary and said, "You still have to stand up. It's just that you two are too weak, and these talents are becoming less motivated."
"Okay, okay." The two nodded repeatedly. In fact, they knew their own problems, but they had been old acquaintances for so many years, so they were really embarrassed to speak too harshly.
"Captain, for this rice planting, Buri Village would like to let the two young people who just came on stage be in charge." At this time, Lin Momo opened the door.
She had dealt with Wang Jianjun, the person in charge of the educated youth site, and Yangjin, the son of the village chief. Both of them hoped that the village could develop well.
Moreover, both of them are the kind of people who are energetic and can motivate others. Wang Jianjun manages the educated youth site very well, and the work done by the educated youth is the best in the village.
Captain 꺶 glanced at the village chief and the village party secretary, and they both nodded. As long as the rice in the village can be grown well and the villagers can work well, they don't have to be the village chief or the village party secretary.
Captain Xiao walked to the loudspeaker and told the villagers the news. Wang Jianjun and Yang Jin were both surprised, but Xiao gladly accepted it.
"We must lead everyone well, unite and cooperate, and develop together."
"Good!" Applause from the villagers came from the other side.
In the following time, Cheng Jinghao and others stayed to teach the villagers how to spread cow dung on the land, how much to use, what to pay attention to, and what to do if it rains.
This time the villagers studied very hard. The female educated youth who had learned seedling cultivation from Lin Momo before surrounded her and asked her about some things they didn't understand about seedling cultivation.
