Chapter 119: Land Distribution to Households
When national policies are actually implemented in local areas, they are generally postponed for a long time. Sihe Village didn't officially distribute land to households until after the autumn harvest in late 1980. Then, village-run enterprises were vigorously developed, and family planning was thoroughly implemented.
When Sihe Village finally divided up its land, there wasn't much. There was no discrimination against boys; each person was given half an acre. Lin Guoqing's family received three and a half acres, half an acre more than in their previous life.
Ma Dexiang had a large family, so he was directly allocated six and a half acres of land, which made his old lady very happy. It was the first time she felt that these girls were not born in vain.
Then Ma Sanni rolled her eyes. "Do you really think that more of anything is better? Can you finish planting six and a half acres of land?"
After the land was distributed to households, the production brigade would be disbanded. The previous village security director was already quite old and would only serve until the Lunar New Year this year. Lin Fuqiang suggested that starting next year, Ma Dexiang would take over the position.
This is mainly because of Lin Guoqing's face.
Over the past few years, Lin Guoqing had been sending Lin Fuqiang cigarettes and alcohol every so often. They weren't particularly high-end, but they were thoughtful. The two brothers were close, their families growing closer and closer, and they would always remember to give each other's children red envelopes during the Lunar New Year.
Lin Guoqing had four children, and Lin Fuqiang gave one cent to each of them. Chen Chunhua gave two cents to each of his two children. Even after his eldest daughter got married, she still gave the money, saying it was for her grandson.
Therefore, Ma Dexiang and Lin Fuqiang became closer. Whenever there was something good, they would always think of each other.
After Ma Dexiang became the village security director, he also served as a member of the village party committee. At that time, it was definitely impossible for him to work in the fields every day.
There are 13 people in the Ma family, only two of them are men, one is in his sixties or seventies, and the other can only work when he can.
There are nine left. Dani's marriage was arranged last year, and she will be leaving home this year. Jiuni is three years old, and Ba Ni is five. They are lucky to be able to sit quietly by the field and take care of themselves.
The fifth, sixth, and seventh daughters had to go to school, and in the end, only the second, third, and fourth daughters, Lin Yulan, and the old couple of the Ma family were left in these six and a half acres of land.
This is under the premise that breakfast and dinner are prepared by the three children who go to school, and lunch is also brought in in the morning.
"When the time comes, each person will take care of one acre of land, and the remaining half acre will be left to fate."
Old Ma: "...If we can't finish growing all the crops at home, then your uncle's family will be even less able to do so!"
Indeed, after all, Lin Guoqing's four children have to go to school, and Chen Chunhua often has to ride a tricycle to go from street to street to sell vegetables and eggs during the day.
Moreover, in the past two years, the country has encouraged the self-employed economy. I heard that last winter, Vancouver issued business licenses to self-employed people. This made everyone excited, and street vendors were everywhere.
Especially in rural areas, the distribution of land to households means no more work points, and people with rural household registration cannot work in factories. They can only rely on the crops in the fields to avoid starvation.
You need money to wear clothes and eat salt. Since the land doesn’t produce any money, you can only carry it on your shoulders and sell it to make money.
For a time, raising poultry became the family's best source of income besides farming. Lin Guoqing's former team leader, Chen Jinshui, planned to buy two piglets after the Lunar New Year holiday, hoping to sell them for a good price next winter.
After two or three years of growth, the ducks in the duck shed behind Lin Guoqing's house have been sold one batch after another and have grown one batch after another. Now there are more than 40 ducks in the shed, but the main reason is that they cannot afford to live in the shed with more.
The chickens were growing in number, and the yard was always smelly. Last fall, the gluttonous Flying Scamp, Little Rascal, and Little Yellow and Little White stopped laying eggs and began to eat more.
After more than two years, the five children's pet chickens can be called old hens.
In my previous life, when I was old and bored and scrolling through short video apps, I would always see videos about protecting children's innocence, condemning parents for having no empathy, killing their children's pet chickens and rabbits, stewing them, and putting them in front of their crying children to ask if they were delicious.
Admittedly, Chen Chunhua also felt that this was a bit abnormal. She also wanted to protect the innocence of her four children and follow the example of those parents who came later. When the pets died of old age, she and her children would dig a grave for them and hold a small funeral.
But it was 1979, and that wasn't realistic.
Chickens are poultry, meat. If you bury them in a pit one second, you might be struck by lightning the next, cursed for wasting natural resources and deserving of starvation.
So for the survival of these five chickens, the family of seven sat together and held a serious discussion.
Liang Shengdi said that these chickens must not be wasted. They have made great contributions to the Lin family, laying so many eggs and raising them so fat. So they should keep their bodies intact and make chicken soup with them.
Lin Shuchao, who had just started elementary school, and 4-year-old Lin Shumei burst into tears together.
Chen Chunhua and Lin Guoqing hurried over, each hugged the other and comforted them softly, while glaring at Liang Shengdi.
Mom, you know they are good friends, can't you be more tactful?
Liang Shengdi: …She really couldn't understand the idea of being so close to poultry. She felt the problem was that these kids had such a comfortable life, never going hungry…
Lin Shuying and Lin Shugang are older and more rational now. They know that the chicken was kept for so long because their parents were doing them a favor.
Otherwise, they should be sold during the spring plowing season, because they lay eggs significantly less frequently at that time.
Lin Shuying bit her lip and said, "Why not sell it... don't eat it at home..."
Liang Shengdi still didn't understand. They all had to be eaten, so why couldn't they be left for her? She had been craving those old hens for a long time. They were so fat that they could easily produce half a bowl of oil.
But this time she didn't dare to speak, for fear that the two little ones would cry even harder, and then that little brat would accuse her of bullying her again.
Xiao Lao San and Xiao Shumei cried for a long time before they stopped, sobbing and expressing their agreement with their sister's opinion.
If you have to choose one, then sell it. At least they won't see what happens after you buy it.
Lin Guoqing agreed and said he would sell it tomorrow. He also asked if they wanted to buy a few more chicks to raise.
The children were silent and shook their heads to indicate that they didn't want it.
"Their lives are too short. Instead of having to say goodbye again and again, it would be better not to meet them in the first place."
Lin Shugan, a third-grade student, has been obsessed with Chinese recently. His teachers all praise him for his good writing skills and his promising future.
But Chen Chunhua felt a little sour.
But at least the problem was solved, but it was hard for Liang Shengdi, who didn't get to eat chicken until the Chinese New Year. For the entire autumn and winter, the four of them felt sad just seeing chicken, especially Lin Shuchao.
