Song Yin in the last days

Chapter 91 Homeland

Planting sweet potatoes on the second day really called for men, women and children to join the battle. The young and strong worked from five o'clock in the morning to nine o'clock in the evening. Although the requirements for others were within their capabilities, most of them did their best. With the greatest effort, there are not a few people who work for seven or eight hours.Even so, it took four full days to plant sweet potatoes and then sow grass seeds. This is because they have a variety of agricultural machinery such as ridge mulching and planting. However, considering that these machinery will be eliminated sooner or later, the Not much, more still rely on manual work.

The most important task was completed on schedule, and the time has entered mid-July. Now the highest temperature in the afternoon is close to 40 degrees. At this time, the house has become the top priority-the weather is getting hotter and hotter. If the room is crowded, many people will come out with problems!

Therefore, building a house has become a top priority. Fortunately, Yunzhi County is located in the hinterland of the mainland and among the mountains. There is a temperature difference of ten degrees between morning and evening, especially during the period from 33:[-] am to [-]:[-] am. Generally, it will not exceed [-] degrees. , almost called "cool".Therefore, the time to go to work has changed from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am, and from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm. Calculated, I still have to work nine hours a day, and it is a high-temperature operation, which is still very hard. However, seeing my house Little by little, everyone has no complaints.

The final settlement was a large area with seven small ones, a total of eight "round houses", because the two drivers also came back during this period. They not only picked up their families, but also brought several relatives and friends, a total of 34 large and small. Personally, I happen to share a big house.Regarding the joining of newcomers, the old people have some opinions to some extent, because they missed the "busy farming" when they were so tired that they almost vomited blood. A few words.

By the end of July, the five small round houses were finally completed, and the management committee announced the housing allocation results. For several days, the whole village was beaming, just like a festival.

They were able to live in a new house so quickly. First, there were a lot of them, many of whom were familiar with it. The structure of the house was very simple, and the main part was completed within a few days. Second, it was also because most of the houses were not decorated at all— — Flat concrete floors and smooth lime walls, that's all.What really took time was the planting room on the top floor. Waterproofing had to be done well, the special roof design also added several work steps, and solar cells had to be installed, etc... just the roof part took several days of work.

Lu Yuan, a young man who has benefited from his father's favor, is very well informed. When he got the news last night, he saw Li Xia early this morning and immediately asked excitedly, "Xiaoxia, when will your family move? Do you need any help?"

Li Xia giggled, and said slowly and proudly: "Our family moved yesterday, last night, last, just, moved, finished!"

"Really..."

Several half-grown children, including Lu Yuan, all stared at her, and a little sister who was acquainted with her even shook her arm: "Tell me, tell me, is the new house good, is the new house good... "Actually, they all moved today, it's just a day late.

Li Xia whetted everyone's appetites, so she shook her head and said, "Of course the new house will be fine. It's exactly the same as the old houses in the city. Every house has a kitchen and a toilet. You can take a shower at home!" The "affordable housing" with a total usable area of ​​only 36 square meters has been upgraded several levels in Li Xia's mouth, and it has suddenly become a quasi-luxury house.

"Wow..." A group of girls and boys exploded immediately.Their family used to rent a house in the city, and the housing conditions were not very good. Since the outbreak of the e-virus, the goal of the family has changed from buying a house to having a full stomach. A house with a bathroom has long been extravagant hope.

"Of course it's true. My dad said that there is a water tank on the roof of each of our houses. Didn't it rain the night before yesterday? It was exposed to the sun yesterday, so it happened to be used for bathing. But my dad also said, um, no, Brother Feng said that the water is not drinkable, it can only be used for bathing and washing clothes."

In fact, the large water tank on the roof is secondarily used to collect rainwater in summer, mainly because it can collect snow water in winter, avoiding the pain of fetching water from the river.

After speaking a few words, Li Xia began to drive the audience away: "Go to work, go to work, Liu Hong, let the sheep out quickly, don't you hear them crowing all the time? Wang Min, watch your chickens, and Liu Haiyang... "

Li Xia watched as several subordinates took their positions, and drove their own animal cubs out of the village. Then they took a calf and Lu Yuan to the end - their main task was to take care of the six calves and four little donkeys. This is the most valuable animal in the settlement.

Only now did Lu Yuan have the opportunity to ask her: "How many apartments are allocated to your family?"

"Three sets. One set for my house, one set for my uncle's house, one set for my grandparents and uncle."

Li Xia's grandparents are still alive, his father has three brothers, and his uncle has five members of his family. Her family is the second bedroom, and there are four members. Besides her, there is a four-year-old younger brother, plus a 29-year-old bachelor uncle. The twelve people miraculously escaped the e-virus and survived in Jiang'an.

"Why not four?" Lu Yuan was very surprised. The No. [-] round house where Li Xia's house was located had a layout of two small houses. With so many people, how could three houses be enough?

Li Xia sighed: "This is distributed by the management committee, and you need [-] catties of grain a year, Mr. Lu!"

According to regulations, except for the elderly and minors, every adult has to pay 100 catties of grain every year for 10 consecutive years before the house belongs to them.The two sisters of Uncle Li Xia's family are both over 16. In a few years, she herself will reach the age when she has to pay grain. Now everyone doesn't know how the harvest will be. Seven or eight hundred catties of grain sounds quite scary.

Lu Yuan didn't feel deeply about the 700 catties of grain, so he said depressedly: "It's better for your family, you can move if you want. Our house has not been repaired yet, and my parents started arguing about the decoration. I don't know when I just lived in."

Li Xia patted the young man surnamed Lu on the shoulder and smiled like a big sister: "This is called the troubles of the rich. You see, we poor people are happy if we have a house where we can take a bath. It's not like you. For decoration, some people even said that they need to hit the wall, and two households will become one. Isn’t this enough to support you? When you go out, you will be in the corridor, and it will take less than 5 minutes to walk around. Is it worth hitting the wall?”

"Hey, I heard that Brother Feng forbids them to hit the wall, saying that there are crops planted on it, and accidentally leaked it, everyone should sleep wet!"

It's easy for the poor, and the poorer they move, the faster they move. As soon as they get the keys, everyone can't wait to collect all kinds of furniture and articles by way of bookkeeping, and move happily.

On the contrary, there are many Yao'e sons from the rich households.Many families have special requirements, such as combining two houses into one, so as to have two bathrooms and expand the living room area.Xu Lingfeng didn't agree with them hitting the wall, so he had to stop work and modify the design. In addition, every household had to be renovated, and the house hadn't been completed yet, so don't expect to get the keys in the near future.Fortunately, the wealthy families are all concentrated in round houses No. 5 and No. 6, which does not affect other people. They toss themselves, and no one can control them.

But what Lu Yuan didn't know was that the big round house in the middle where his house was located was the most troublesome.The final number of people staying in this big house is set at 82 people. In addition to the Song and Xu family and their relatives and friends, members of the management committee and their family members also live in. There are also two farming families with elderly people and Chef Hu's family.By the way, Chen Huilan also lives there, no one wants to be with her, the big house accepts her and her two children.

In addition to residences, the big house also has school restaurants, clinics, agricultural technology rooms, and various office rooms. In addition, enough space must be reserved for storage. One can imagine the size of this round house. It's called "The Big House".Xu Lingfeng overhauled the design draft three times, and finally changed it to three floors—offices and warehouses on the first floor and livestock in captivity, living on the second floor, and growing grain on the third floor.

He knows very little about these Lu parents. Anyway, he knows that moving is useless. What the young man is eager to show off to Li Xia is another inside news: "You know, the land is going to be divided. I heard from my father and Brother Feng that the land is too big. If there are too many, I am afraid that everyone will not be able to plant them."

Li Xia blinked: "No way, we have 346 people, and the 400 mu of land is only a little more than one mu for each person."

"You forgot that there are still 400 mu of pasture! And I heard that it is not divided by head, but by men and women. We can't divide them so much, and the elderly are the least, only one mu per person. There are still many people who can't grow it, Like our family, my parents, me, and my sister can be divided into seven and a half acres, let alone seven and a half acres, I don’t think we can even plant half an acre…”

Li Xia laughed with a "poof". After a month of high-temperature steaming, the little girl has become a real piece of black carbon, her mouth is full of white teeth, and she can advertise toothpaste without makeup: "Don't worry, my family There are many people. My grandfather went to the land in his 70s. Even my mother and aunt are good at work. When the time comes, hand over your land to me and take care of it for you. However, there is a fee... ..."

This pair of boys and girls did not expect that a word would become a prophecy, and a joke today would become a reality two days later.

-

Two days later, the management committee announced the farmland allocation plan: 3 mu for adult men, 2 mu for women, 1.5 mu for minors, and 1 mu for the elderly.

The reason for this allocation has nothing to do with discrimination, it is the result of considering everyone's real physical ability.Moreover, although the last few families who joined were given the same amount of land, only two-thirds of it has been cultivated, and the remaining one-third will need to be reclaimed by themselves next year. The dissatisfaction with these few families has disappeared.

In addition, if the entire settlement wants to operate normally, management and staff are definitely needed. Managers can work part-time, but staff like teachers and doctors need full-time. In addition, professional security and part-time defense teams are also required. is indispensable, so taxation is inevitable.However, the management committee guarantees that the tax rate will be within everyone's tolerance and will never exceed one-tenth of the harvest.Moreover, there will be no taxation this year and next year, and whether the tax will be collected in the next year will depend on the situation, and the decision will be made after the autumn harvest next year.

As soon as the plan came out, some families were happy and others were worried.Some families have no labor force at all. For example, the family of Song Yin’s cousin, Lu Wanjun, has a total of five and a half acres of land, but the family does not even have an adult man. It is not surprising that she cannot grow food, but it is rare if she can grow food. .Not to mention Lu Wanjun, even Song Yin and Xu Lingfeng didn't think they had the ability to take care of 13 acres of farmland. Unless they were farming all day long, they wouldn't do other things.

The management committee has already made arrangements for this, and the plan given is to rent out the land, and the rent is one-tenth of the annual output. Anyone who leases more than [-] acres of farmland can give priority to the use of agricultural machinery.Now, people vying for the rent of farmland popped up all of a sudden, and most of these people went for the farm machinery—how much trouble can one farm machine save? Besides, [-] mu sounds like a lot, but half of them are planted with grass. There are many brothers, and it can be done completely.

Finally, the management committee also collects the place names of settlements from all residents, and once selected, they will be rewarded with ten catties of rice!
