Rebirth 80: Start by earning money to build a brick house

three days later.

Zhang Zhonghe and Lin Zhengmao were called to the commune for a meeting.

Although the county did not issue a formal document, it did not express any objection.

Neither hand nor knife was raised.

If I remember correctly, it was only in 1982 at the national level that Document No. [-] was issued, which clearly pointed out that household-based production quotas and household-based responsibility quotas were both production responsibility systems in the socialist collective economy.

The document only clarifies that this approach is not capitalism.There is no requirement to implement household contracting. If you want to do it, you can do it. If you don't want to do it, don't force it. There are no hard and fast rules.

Therefore, in this case, several parties can negotiate and conduct a pilot trial to see the effect.

This sentence is enough.

As long as you carry out one package to the end, you can see some effects.

"Give enough to the country, keep enough to the collective, and the rest is yours."

The old masters of farming are looking forward to it.

Everyone thinks that based on their years of farming experience, they will definitely have a good year this year.

...........

Despite being fully prepared, we still encountered some minor troubles when it came time to actually divide the land.

The cultivated land in the whole village is divided into three grades according to its fertile and poor conditions.

Each class is divided according to population.

The most primitive method: drawing lots.

Catch it there, that's it.

But there are also coincidences.

There are two families in the village, and their relationship has always been very bad.

But this time the lot happened to be drawn on two adjacent pieces of land, and they became neighbors.

Both sides complained and clamored to draw lots again.

"I want to draw lots again. I won't farm next to his family." One of the households shouted.

Another household was not to be outdone: "I want to draw lots again, as if no one cares about being next to him."

joke.

Is it possible that we can draw lots again for your two families?

Just this little nonsense, does it matter?

Besides, maybe if they farm next to each other, the relationship will ease?

It's far-fetched to think so.

In rural areas, relationships are complicated and not easy to reconcile.

Just by planting fields next to each other, can you resolve the grievances that have lasted for several years?

Absolutely impossible, and it might even intensify conflicts.

Zhang Ziming quickly winked at Zhang Zhonghe, and then a village cadre stood up:

"What's the quarrel? It's just you two that are so big of a deal. You need to draw lots again. The whole village is laughing at your two families. If we can reconcile, we can reconcile. If we can't, I'll trade land with you two."

For this nonsense, just find someone to change the land. Once the change is done, just come to the accountant and register it.

Hearing what the village cadre said, one of the households muttered in a low voice:

"Who doesn't know that it's like changing the land? If you village cadres don't change, who else will be willing to change?"

This is true.

Ordinary villagers are not willing to provoke two families with a grudge.

In this matter, the only way for the village cadres to come forward is to change the land.

........

In the commotion, the ground was finally made clear.

Next came the collective production of farm tools and livestock.

Small items are easy to separate, but large items are difficult to separate.

For example, a cow is rare and valuable. How can it be distributed to only one family, unless a fee is paid?

Zhang Ziming gave Zhang Zhonghe suggestions.

Small pieces of hoes, hoe, and weighing poles can be distributed to one household in one piece;

Large items such as plows and field carts can be divided into two households. As for which two households, they can be combined freely.

As for live animals, such as cattle, there are also two households, but it is best for the two households to be father and son, or brothers.

Otherwise, it would be easy to have disputes.

For example, if two households share a cow, the use and feeding of the cow can easily cause quarrels, and it is difficult to verify how much the cow is fed.

If the cattle were divided between the father and son households or the brother households, such quarrels would be much less frequent.

They are all members of the same family. Is it possible that there will be disputes over raising a cow together?

All village cadres agreed with this proposal.

Of course, some villagers also have opinions. For example, if the family is not prosperous, how can there be brothers and sons?

There's no way that.

There is no absolute fairness, only relative fairness.

Just like Zhang Ziming's father and second uncle, it is most suitable to share a cow.

It is not easy to feed a cow. Summer is fine, just eat grass.

It’s difficult in winter.

It is necessary to prepare materials carefully during the autumn harvest.

We are all brothers and we don’t care too much about who provides more fodder for the cows.

As for the tractor, this one is really hard to distinguish.

I can only be considered a member of the team.

If anyone uses it, they will pay the team.

That's fair enough.

If you have money, you can just buy it directly.

It’s just that among rural families today, who can afford to buy a tractor?

Zhang Ziming has the ability to buy it, but he doesn't have the need yet.

It's better to leave this tractor to Da Duili, it can be used by both the furniture factory and the brick kiln factory.

After a day of quarreling, we finally settled down without any major unpleasantness.

As for Dalinzhai Village, the situation is similar.

All were carried out according to Zhang Ziming's plan.

Zhang Ziming's plan is not a simple general text.

Unlike some leading cadres who only talk about the general direction.

Zhang Ziming's plan is specific, what kind of situation will happen and what method should be used.

I listed a dozen of the questions I could think of one by one.

Who would have thought among the villagers sitting in the audience that every question they raised would have an answer in the plan given by Zhang Ziming.

Dalinzhai Village simply stared at the plan given by Zhang Ziming throughout the entire process.

Eliminate one problem at a time.

After the meeting, Zhang Zhonghe and Lin Zhengmao had the same expression, praising Ziming repeatedly: Ziming's plan is reliable.

.......

Early the next morning, all the laborers in the village rushed to their fields early in the morning.

There's no point in ringing the bell and getting to work.

One by one, like anxious monkeys.

All of them were busy doing farm work in the fields.

The corn has already emerged from the ground, and weeding is done carefully.

In the past, this was not the way to do it, just to be fast.

Nowadays, the fields are divided into households, and the most exciting thing is the old ways of farming.

There is a place for it.

In the past, we would do more but do less, and we would do better than others.

Now if you do a lot, it’s all yours, and if you do it well, it’s all yours.

Anyone who doesn't work hard, even a second-rate lazy man, will be extremely diligent.

Everyone wants to have a good year.

In this way, the efficiency of farming has also been greatly improved.

In the past, ten people worked on ten acres of land, but now one person can work on three acres of land.

Zhang Ziming has to put it on the agenda to start a factory alone.

It just needs to be delayed a little longer.

Right now, I have to go to the Education Bureau with Wan Zitou to check the college entrance examination results.

It's the end of the month and it's time to get results.

To inquire about college entrance examination scores at this time, you must either go to the Education Bureau or the school.

Wanzitou is not a fresh graduate, so there is no need to go to the school to check.

In this era, people fill out their application form before taking the exam, so checking your scores is equivalent to checking whether you have been admitted to university.

Wan Zitou sat on the bicycle, nervous all the way.

The slender and tender arms have been tightly hugging Zhang Ziming's waist.

"Wanzitou, don't be nervous." Zhang Ziming enlightened.

"I'm not nervous." Meathead replied mechanically.

Not nervous?

If you weren't nervous, why would you be hugging her so tightly?
