At night, everyone in the Qian family fell asleep, but Qian Duoduo was staring at the ceiling with her eyes open. Qiao Tiezhu's sudden confession really stunned her, but she also felt a little secretly pleased. After all, the feeling of being liked was still a bit strange for Qian Duoduo.
"Can't sleep?" Fourth Sister-in-law's sudden words startled Qian Duoduo.
Qian Duoduo turned her head to look at Wen Yugui, whose eyes were sparkling, and nodded with a smile.
Wen Yugui leaned closer to her and whispered, "Are you a little flustered because someone suddenly confessed their feelings to you?"
Qian Duoduo shook her head and said, "It's not that bad. I was a little confused at first, but he's not my type."
Wen Yugui asked curiously, "So what type do you like?"
Qian Duoduo looked at the ceiling and said, "I don't know now. After all, if I set these standards for myself now, I certainly won't look for a partner according to these standards in the future!"
Wen Yugui nodded: "That makes sense, after all, you're still young!"
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Fourth Sister-in-law, after I go to university, I'll probably stay in the provincial capital. What do you and Fourth Brother think?"
Wen Yugui sighed and said, "I don't know. When I went to my second brother's place before, I mostly stayed at home. Occasionally, I would go grocery shopping with my second sister-in-law and mother. I don't know what the future holds. Right now, I'm just thinking about raising the child with your fourth brother!"
Qian Duoduo nodded: "Take your time!"
The Qian family had a lively New Year in 1978. Not only were all five children at home, but also the two in-laws. In addition to preparing a large table of delicious food, there were also apples and oranges that Qian Duoduo had brought back from the county town.
Commander Ling ate an apple, his eyes lighting up: "Wow, this apple is delicious, so sweet and fragrant!"
Ling's mother smiled and said, "Jinxiu is making candied sweet potatoes and candied apples in the kitchen. We'll have some to eat soon!"
Commander Ling smiled and said, "Guangdong Province is a paradise for food. I used to think that Cantonese cuisine was pretty good, but when my mother-in-law was taking care of Xiaoyun at our house, I realized that Northeastern cuisine, with its heavy oil and salt, is even more satisfying!"
Ling's mother smiled and said, "The local environment shapes the people, so the dishes in each place are naturally different."
Commander Ling nodded and took another bite of the apple.
At this time, Qian Mao was pressured by his family to get married. However, this pressure also made him open his eyes and not blindly fall in love!
Qian Mao was also a bit dumbfounded. When other people were urging him to get married, weren't they supposed to bring a girl home as soon as possible? How come when it came to him, he was the one who had to open his eyes wide? He was filled with emotion!
After attending Qian Duoduo's college entrance celebration, Secretary Lu returned to Beijing and saw his troublesome younger brother. Ever since he came back, the boy had been asking about things in Beian Village. After hearing that Qian Duoduo had been admitted to Northeast Agricultural University, he fell silent and finally left muttering to himself!
Lu Yuan was also a bit dumbfounded. Wasn't it supposed to be Harbin Institute of Technology? How did it turn into an agricultural university? He applied to Harbin Institute of Technology specifically for this power bank and even received an admission notice. How did it turn out like this?
He watched the calendar pages turn one by one. When Lu Yuan was preparing to return to Heilongjiang Province, he also packed his bags and followed him to Heilongjiang Province. After returning to Shangzhi County, Lu received the official document announcing his promotion. He immediately told Qian Mao to get ready and come with him to work at the demolition office in the provincial capital!
That's right, Lu Jiang got a good job: director of the demolition office, the top position. Don't underestimate the title of director; many people know that this is just a transitional position because a vice mayor of Harbin will retire this May Day, and Lu Jiang will be promoted to vice mayor of Harbin, in charge of urban construction.
The news that Qian Mao was going to work in the provincial capital caused a stir in the small village of Beian. Everyone came to the Qian family to chat with Qian Sheng, implying that the Qian family was about to rise to prominence. They said that since they were all neighbors, they would help each other out if needed.
Qian Sheng chuckled and said, "I'm the village head. If I can't handle something, how could he? None of you are practical. When it's time to go to work, you'll definitely have to do some good work!"
Upon seeing Qian Sheng's appearance, everyone immediately left the Qian family with smirks.
Qian Mao smiled and said, "Dad, there's something I need to tell you."
Qian Sheng nodded and asked, "What's up?"
Qian Mao's expression turned serious: "Dad, some provinces outside are now implementing land redistribution to individual households."
Qian Sheng was taken aback, and even he was surprised by the literal meaning of the words, so he asked, "What does that mean?"
Qian Mao said, "The household contract responsibility system, which is what I just mentioned about distributing land to individual households, is an important reform that we will be promoting in our rural areas. It is a turning point in the rural land system. Last year, I often went to the provincial capital with Secretary Lu for meetings, and some of the meeting content was about this."
Qian Sheng asked, "What does all this content mean?"
Qian Mao said, "It means distributing land to farmers and implementing a small-scale peasant economy similar to feudal society. The household contract responsibility system is based on the premise of upholding socialist public ownership. It contracts land to farmers, who bear certain obligations. The ownership of the land belongs to the collective, and farmers only have the right to manage and use it. In essence, it belongs to socialism."
Qian Sheng tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Speak like a human being!"
Qian Mao coughed lightly and said, "The goal is to change the village's management system. Originally, our village had a brigade leader and squad leaders. In the future, the village chief will be the new leader. The brigade leader will no longer have much of a deterrent effect, and the squad leaders and scorekeepers will be removed."
