The entire Xiaomo Village was plunged into darkness; many people were already fast asleep.
The village was devoid of its usual hustle and bustle.
At this moment, in Mo Youxian's home, the father and son were talking in hushed tones. Mo Chunsheng did most of the talking, while Mo Youxian listened.
After a long while, Mo Chunsheng finally recounted what Mo Yuan had said during the day.
He couldn't help but add, "Dad, is what Mo Yuan said true? Did Xiaogang Village really implement the household responsibility system? And did they have a bumper harvest? The key point is, they weren't punished?"
The last point was what Mo Chunsheng cared about most. He could roughly deduce the benefits of the household responsibility system, but he could also foresee the dangers behind it.
If he's not careful, he could be branded with a serious label, something a mere production team leader and village secretary like him couldn't handle.
Looking into his son's expectant eyes, Mo Youxian fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he finally sighed.
"Hey! This matter isn't as simple as you think! Indeed, I've heard about it too. The Xiaogang Village incident was something a dozen or so households did together. When Provincial Party Secretary Wan Li found out, he endorsed it, and not only were they not held accountable, but it was even promoted throughout the province. Actually, some comrades in our county suggested last year whether it could be implemented on a small scale to see the effect. But then, sigh..."
Upon hearing that there was hope, Mo Chunsheng's face lit up with joy, and he quickly asked, "What happened next? What's the story?"
Mo Youxian remained expressionless, unwilling to dampen his son's enthusiasm, but he couldn't remain silent either.
"Sigh, at the conference, the suggestion was strongly rejected by former Party Secretary Tian Yushan. He said that such an idea was very dangerous, and that without orders from above, everyone must follow the policies set by the state. No one was allowed to do anything underhanded. Otherwise, he would deal with them one by one without any mercy. So the matter was dropped, and in the end, no one dared to bring it up again..."
Mo Chunsheng was still somewhat unwilling to give up, even though he seemed rather uninterested when Mo Yuan talked about it during the day.
But as the production team leader, he had always been at the forefront of agricultural production, and he wanted more than anyone else to increase grain production so that everyone could live a better life.
He always took the lead and tried his best to do well, but the results were minimal. This time, he heard Mo Yuan's words.
Feeling as if they had seen the light at the end of the tunnel, they naturally wouldn't give up easily!
"Dad, I heard from Mo Yuan that Anhui province has implemented it, and the central government hasn't said anything. If this policy is really effective, it will be implemented throughout the province sooner or later. Why can't we take the lead? Anhui hasn't received any approval yet, has it?"
"Don't rush things. Focus on getting the wheat harvest done these next few days. Tomorrow, I'll go to the township and sound them out. This can't be rushed. By the way, how's your pig farm going?"
Mo Chunsheng, who had originally wanted to say something, had his father subtly changed the subject, so he could only wait until his father returned from the countryside to continue.
And when asked about what Mo Chunsheng was proud of, he immediately began to vividly describe the situation of the piglets to Mo Youxian.
Seeing the gloom on his son's face vanish, and him passionately recounting the progress of the pig farm, especially after hearing about Mo Yuan's various methods,
Everything was thriving, and by the end of the year, they were sure to make a fortune. Mo Chunsheng estimated that each family would earn a substantial amount of money.
This pleased Mo Youxian; Mo Yuan, that kid, did have some skills after all.
"Yeah, you should spend more time with Mo Yuan. That kid's got some clever ideas. But you should also be aware of your own limitations and know what's what. Remember, when Da Bao does this, you two shouldn't hide it from me. Just wait and see, and I'll figure out a way!"
The next day, Mo Youxian hurriedly rode his bicycle to the village and subtly investigated the situation.
The result was unsatisfactory. As everyone knows, the county's former Party Secretary, Tian Yushan, has always been a stubborn old man.
Those who have served in the military are very organized and principled. No matter what, if there are no regulations from above, nothing is allowed!
So even though some people have brought it up again recently, things remain the same as before.
However, Mo Youxian also gained some useful information: in the past, there would have been absolutely no room for negotiation.
After all, Tian Yushan basically ruled the county, and no one had the qualifications or the courage to oppose him.
Whatever he says goes, but the newly appointed county head, Bao Ruijin, seems to be someone special.
The matter involving the Mo brothers, Mo Yougan and Mo Youkun, was only resolved so quickly thanks to the efforts of the newly arrived county magistrate.
If we could find a way to talk to the county magistrate, perhaps things would take a turn for the better.
Mo Youxian, looking embarrassed and covered in dust, rode his bicycle back home.
He kept muttering to himself along the way, "I'm just a village party secretary, and I have trouble even meeting the township head. How am I supposed to have connections to get to know the county head?"
Sigh, it seems there's no chance for this. I'll have to talk to my son Chunshan about it when I get back.
Make him realize the situation and he must not dare to act recklessly!
Feeling extremely depressed, Mo Youxian slowly rode his bike home.
When I arrived at the small square on the east side of the village, just as I was about to cross over to go home and put my bicycle away, my eyes involuntarily glanced to the side.
His eyes widened instantly, like bells.
What's going on here?
A military green jeep was parked prominently beside the small square.
For Xiao Mo Village, this is an absolute rarity; who has ever seen something like this before?
Just like last time when Mo Yuan brought a big truck to the village, Mo Youxian's first thought was that a high-ranking leader had come to the village!
I quickly rode my bike to the brigade headquarters, but it was empty.
Extremely anxious, Mo Youxian had no choice but to go home first to see if anyone there knew what was going on.
As soon as he entered the yard, he saw his wife and immediately rushed over, asking anxiously, "Old woman, a car has come to the village. Do you know who it is?"
"Uh, I know. The accountant just came looking for you and asked you to come over. He said a big leader came up from the village. I think, I think it was the county head."
"What the heck?!"
