Since the visitors were from my father-in-law's unit and also from his hometown, they had to be received well at noon. They had delicious food and drinks every day for a week. It was not until the first round of 300 acres of lotus pond construction was completed and the Liuzhuang Township inspection team had mastered the lotus pond construction technology that they returned home. After returning, they specifically reported on the successful study at the township cadre meeting and summarized the spirit of Honghua Township. Comrade Xu Baifu asked all township cadres and party members to learn from them!
"What is the Honghua Township spirit?" Sun Zongyuan asked Xu Rui, puzzled. "How did your father summarize it?"
Sun Zongyu discussed with his parents and sought his grandfather's opinion, and decided to let his grandfather come out of retirement and serve as the manager of Fushan High-quality Agricultural Products Farm in Anyang County.
My grandfather is an old party member who was developed during the most difficult period of the Anti-Japanese War. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the party members he assisted in developing became branch secretaries. He has been the team leader serving the villagers until the contract responsibility system was implemented. He voluntarily retired from the leadership position due to his old age. Although he is usually cheerful, Sun Zongyuan knows that his grandfather is still unwilling to accept his old age in his heart.
Grandpa and grandma happily moved into the farm management office. Sun Zongyuan temporarily hired six old men around sixty years old to help grandpa manage the entire farm.
These old men are no simple matter. They are all old friends of my grandfather who joined the Party, supported the front, participated in land reform, and made steel together when they were young. They have also been village cadres for 20 to 30 years. Although they are not educated, they are very experienced in managing agriculture.
What's more, my grandfather promised that each person would have a monthly salary of 50 yuan, and each person could manage his or her own half-acre of private land and pay the income back to himself or herself.
Grandpa also wanted to have a few old friends to keep him company. Sun Zongyan told Grandpa that building a farm might not necessarily make money, the key was that the land could not be left idle. How could these old men who had been fighting with the land all their lives see idle land?
We didn’t have the ability to transform it before, but now we have it!
Several old men set up a wood stove, installed water pipes, raised seven sheepdogs, and became serious landlords. Grandpa said:
"I've been fighting against landlords my whole life, but now I'm old and I've become the biggest landlord in this place!"
Fushan Farm is expanding its territory at a rate of about 150 acres per day. Sun Zongyuan estimates that it will take a month to complete the construction of the lotus pond.
Then we found a group of people to repair and modify the roads, put up barbed wire fences all around, built a water intake and a well on the edge of Kun River, and brought water into eight ponds in the middle of the farm, each covering an area of about ten acres. In spring, water can be used to replenish the lotus ponds, and in summer, it can be used as a backup water source for fish farming. When he has nothing to do, grandpa can go fishing and relax.
Sun Zongyuan originally wanted to install a surveillance camera on the barbed wire, but after asking several people, they all said they didn't have such a thing. Only then did he realize that network surveillance was not available in China at that time.
