Happy times are always so short.
The first month of the year hasn’t even started yet.
Adults and children in the village have to leave home to work or go to school.
At the end of the first lunar month, when everyone was preparing to start spring plowing, the team leader brought back a particularly important news from the county town.
That is, the country has implemented a policy of opening up to both domestic and foreign markets.
Opening up to the outside world means that people can trade freely in the future, and the country encourages everyone to do business.
There is also the internal reform of the household contract responsibility system of "dividing land into households and being responsible for their own profits and losses".
From now on, farmers will be in charge.
In an instant, the whole team became lively and everyone was so excited that they couldn't control themselves. Some people even cried while laughing.
This news had spread in the village a long time ago. After waiting for so long and the policy still hadn't come out, everyone thought it was fake.
Finally, they got what they were waiting for.
It’s no wonder that everyone is so excited, land is the lifeblood of farmers.
As long as the land can grow food, everyone can have enough to eat.
Before distributing the land to households, the team leader also carried out policy publicity and mobilization work in accordance with the leadership's requirements.
Let everyone understand the policy and significance of dividing land to households and enhance their sense of participation.
Let everyone clearly understand their rights and obligations, and understand the specific procedures and requirements for dividing land among households.
We also mobilized everyone to measure the land to ensure accurate knowledge of the land's area, location, boundaries and other information.
A detailed registration must also be made for each household, including family members, family status, land needs, etc.
Finally, a land distribution plan was formulated, and based on the registration and assessment results of farmers, the land ownership was confirmed on a household basis according to the existing population in the household register.
Government officials will oversee the land distribution process to ensure it is fair, just and smooth.
Finally, the fields were divided the day before spring plowing.
Sure enough, after the land was distributed to everyone, everyone became much more motivated to work.
No, it’s not that I’ve become more active, but I’ve worked really hard.
As soon as the sky was getting light, they went to work in the fields.
They worked until around nine or ten o'clock before going home for breakfast. After breakfast, they took some sweet potatoes and corn soup and went to the fields to continue working.
When I was hungry, I would sit on the ground and eat something, and then I would be busy until the sun went down and the moon rose.
Because there is hope for the future, everyone is eager to work in the fields all day long.
Every time a seed is sown, everyone looks forward to the heavy harvest in summer.
Time passed by unknowingly as everyone was busy.
When she has free time, Deng Qingling goes back to her mother's home to ask her second uncle to customize tables, chairs, benches and the like.
Her family knew her plan, but they didn't say anything unpleasant. They told her to tell them if she needed any help.
The houses in the town don't need much decoration. Just open a food delivery window between the kitchen and the hall, repair the doors and windows, and hang a sign at the door.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
At the beginning of April, Deng Qingling told Guo Youxing that she wanted to resign and asked the village to recruit a good teacher first.
As for moving your household registration, wait until the children are on summer vacation.
Guo Youxing agreed.
From that day on, everyone in the team knew that the school was recruiting teachers.
At first, everyone thought that the school was recruiting because it didn’t have enough teachers.
But just after the summer harvest, Deng Qingling moved to the town to live.
... ... ...
On a clear day, Deng Qingling's first snack bar opened.
At exactly eight o'clock in the morning, Deng Qingling set off firecrackers and pulled down the red cloth on the sign.
At this time, there was a circle of passers-by and nearby residents gathered in front of the store.
"Good morning, everyone! Today is the first day of business at Guoji Snack Shop, and we are here to give you some benefits.
During the first three days of our store opening, customers who spend over one dollar will receive a free five-spice tea egg. First come, first served, while supplies last."
As she spoke, Deng Qingling gestured to her nephew Deng Yangguang who was standing in the store.
Deng Yangguang nodded slightly, then opened the lid of the iron pot, stirred the tea eggs in the pot, and specially took out a five-spice tea egg, ready to eat it for everyone to see.
Just then a breeze blew over, and in an instant, the fresh fragrance of tea and the strong aroma of spices drifted in the air.
The people who were originally at the door just wanting to join in the fun and then leave, when they heard that they would get eggs for every two yuan they spent, they immediately became a little eager to try it.
"What a rich fragrance." Passerby A said and sniffed.
"What smells so good?"
"Is there any meat stew in the store..."
As they were talking, everyone looked into the store and saw a young man holding a brown egg. After he peeled the eggshell, a dark brown egg was revealed.
Everyone's eyes followed Deng Yangguang's movements and saw him take a bite of the egg, squinting his eyes happily with a satisfied expression on his face.
Everyone couldn't help swallowing.
It looks so delicious and I really want to eat it!
Action speaks louder than words.
As the first person stepped into the store, the other onlookers squeezed in unwillingly.
As the saying goes, picking up lost items is worse than spending all your money.
They must have free five-spice tea eggs today.
When everyone squeezed into the store, the first thing they saw was the clean and tidy tables and chairs in the hall.
Then, Deng Yangguang raised his hand and told everyone the menu written on the wall.
Wontons are 0.2 cents, wonton noodles are 0.25 cents, clear soup noodles are 0.3 cents, shredded pork noodles are 0.45 cents, fried bean sauce noodles are 0.45 cents, sauerkraut buns are 0.9 cents each, meat buns are 0.15 cents each, and five-spice tea eggs are 0.13 cents each.
It also says at the bottom that you can take away, so please bring your own cutlery. If you order in the store, you can get the corn soup and sauerkraut for free.
Everyone felt that these prices were similar to those in state-owned restaurants. The only difference was that no food coupons were required, and there were free corn soup and sauerkraut. You have to know that in state-owned restaurants, everything costs money.
"Little girl, I want six meat buns and two pickled cabbage buns. Can you help me get a bigger egg later?"
"I want a bowl of wonton noodles and two tea eggs."
“I want shredded pork noodles…”
“… … …”
For a while, the store was bustling with customers.
Fortunately, Deng Qingling had made preparations in advance and even asked two nephews and nieces from her mother's family to help.
Otherwise, she would be too busy to handle it all by herself.
