Chapter 199



"Xinghe, what's going on? Tell us what's on the wall. We old couple can't read."

"Yes, Xinghe, my child hasn't been home yet. I only know a few words on what Captain Li just posted, so I don't quite understand.

They said the land was theirs, was that true?"

Lu Xinghe led He Xiaoyu to the door to digest the food. Looking at the anxious villagers, he smiled and said, "Oh, Secretary Liu will talk about it in a while, but what he said is not right.

The land belongs to the country, not to oneself."

When these words were spoken, everyone who had just been celebrating was stunned.

They all looked at Lu Xinghe in disbelief.

Just now the loudspeaker announced that I already have the land, so how come it all belongs to the state now?

Lu Xinghe put it aside and secretly nodded to Secretary Liu.

This will be a great opportunity for Secretary Liu to show off in public, and he doesn't want to hide from Secretary Liu's limelight.

Moreover, because Secretary Liu came from the forest farm, his situation was completely different from Shen Dongzhi's at the time.

Shen Dongzhi is a local, so the villagers will unconsciously trust him more.

Even though Shen Dongzhi said that the food distributed by the commune was moldy, everyone could only make do with it.

No one would doubt it.

But Liu Xisheng came from the forest farm, and at that time the forest farm and the commune were two different paths.

It’s not that neither of them looks down on the other, but because of the difference in capital, there are indeed some disputes between the two sides.

A while ago, Liu Xisheng had been going door to door to catch gamblers.

This made him even less popular in the Chaihe Brigade.

If Lu Xinghe hadn't been lucky enough to build the house suddenly when public opinion erupted.

Give all villagers something to do.

The masters of Chaihe Village had already started fighting with Liu Xisheng.

"Hubby, look, your sister-in-law is here too, her belly is so big, how about I go and help her, don't let her slip again."

He Xiaoyu kept greeting the aunts and noticed Cao Guizhi was the last person to walk into the brigade yard.

Cao Guizhi, who was usually sarcastic, gained a little weight and looked much quieter, perhaps because of her pregnancy.

And after her family members made a fuss, fewer and fewer people came to see her.

With no income and poor food, my whole mental state has deteriorated a lot.

"No, I'll keep an eye on it. Go and accompany our mom. When it's time to sign, you can help her sign."

There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. Based on what happened in his past life, he had no reason to forgive her now.

I'm not that petty.

But when I thought about the lazy guy from the next village who was sold to a girl.

Lu Xinghe’s anger will never go out.

"Got it. Then stop bragging. I've seen the plot you mentioned in the tree."

After saying this, He Xiaoyu covered her mouth and laughed secretly, then quickly ran to Lu's mother, swinging her arms.

"Damn, it's not good to marry a wife who is too educated. I've read Water Margin..."

Lu Xinghe touched his nose awkwardly, then moved closer to the group of uncles and aunts and took out a pack of Hongmei cigarettes from the space.

He started chatting with his uncles, but after just three words, the topic turned to the scene where he fought a tiger after drinking.

Liu Xisheng saw that most of the villagers had arrived, so he started talking on the loudspeaker.

At first, he wanted to talk about his superiors' meeting ideas first.

Then the advantages and disadvantages of handing over land and contracting production to households were analyzed.

However, Lu Xinghe directly asked him to say that he was not satisfied with the household contract responsibility system, and did not say anything else.

Farmers love the land and have feelings for it so much that they won't listen to anything else.

Of course, Lu Xinghe also asked Liu Xisheng to state the prerequisites for the household contract responsibility system.

That is, we must choose to support future commune policies.

Otherwise the land will be forcibly taken away.

This is also to facilitate Liu Xisheng's future work.

You know, whether it is the subsequent change from burial to cremation, the neglect of children's education, or the policy of eugenics.

It is very difficult to promote it in rural areas.

The first few years were almost nothing but waiting and no progress was made.

But the forest farm next door has implemented the policy very well.

Regardless of how those policies affect future development, in this era, they are indeed helpful in improving the lives of villagers.

Each era has its own choices, which is the inevitable result of history.

Regarding such a major policy, Lu Xinghe had no reason to stop or be unwilling to do so.

“Ahem, well, maybe someone has seen the content of this big-character poster, so I’ll just say it straight out, today’s meeting is about just one thing!

Do you agree with the household contract responsibility system? The household contract responsibility system means that the land is contracted to everyone.

All the food you grow in the future will belong to you, and the brigade will purchase it at the market price.

To put it simply, if you harvest more, you earn more; if you harvest less, you can't blame the brigade or the commune.

Do you like this? "

Everyone's expressions were confused at first, then delighted, and finally they burst into tears of joy.

No wonder the brigade and the commune were so successful in harvesting so much.

As long as the land is leased to myself, how can the harvest be small?

In the past, the harvest was small because no matter how much work we did, we only earned a few cents a day.

These include problems such as lack of fertilizer and weeds in the fields.

If the land belonged to you, would these be difficult things?

The pit toilet in that house has to be dug once a month.

The urine bucket every night can be used as fertilizer for the fields.

Moreover, even if these are not enough, the fertilizer made from the fallen leaves in the pine forest and mixed with wood ash is also an excellent fertilizer.

You know, ten or ten years ago, there was no chemical fertilizer at all, but the crops in the fields were still growing well.

At this time, Liu Xisheng looked at the expressions of the crowd and had an idea in his mind whether the villagers were satisfied or not.

But this is still a long-term job. After signing the letter of consent, you still have to go to the commune to apply.

When the land was finally divided, how much each family would be responsible for and which piece of land they would be responsible for became a problem.

To be honest, it would be easier to hand over the land to the commune.

At Liu Xisheng's reminder, Wang Nizi led the weeping villagers to sign one by one and show their skills.

Wang Daiba stood in the crowd and helped Liu Xisheng brag.

And when they learned that Secretary Liu Xisheng would have to go to the commune to apply for it.

Every villager who passed by Secretary Liu would put their hands together and bow to express their gratitude.

Liu Xisheng was also in tears at this time. To be honest, it was incredible that a local secretary could be so loved by the villagers.

That was what he considered the highest honor.

Sign, fingerprint, and express your intention...

After all this, except for a few people with large families, most people will ask if they can get a bigger share.

Others basically don't consider anything.

No matter how much land you have, it’s all yours.

Just one or two square meters of private land can grow enough radishes and potatoes for the whole family to eat.

Not to mention such a large piece of land for growing crops!
