The Sweetness of the Seventies

Huang Jingli was generous and took the initiative to greet the embarrassed and shy Wu Youliang.

Wu Youliang was not the kind of person to be coy and spoke to Huang Jingli politely. After they finished picking up the things together, they became much more familiar with each other.

Neither of them said that they were going to meet tomorrow, but they were both thinking about it.

Wu Youliang helped Huang Jingli move her things and sent them to the office of the Chinese Department before taking her own things back to report to the teacher.

The next day, the two formally met under the introduction of He Tiantian.

After dinner, when they went back in the afternoon, the two of them walked and chatted about their past lives.

When he heard the reason why Huang Jingli had not returned home for so many years, Wu Youliang felt a little distressed and said, "Jingli, I am not good-looking, but I can guarantee that I have good character and am motivated, and I will treat you well in the future." OK. I will work hard to give you a good life.”

Huang Jingli smiled and said: "When I was young, I may have paid more attention to the outside world, but I am already twenty-seven this year, and those things become unimportant. As long as you have good character and are motivated, it will be fine. No matter how hard it is, , as long as we work together, we will always have a good time.”

"Well, you're right." Wu Youliang grinned with sincerity, "When is your ticket, I'll give it to you!"

"Tomorrow afternoon." Huang Jingli said, "Your home is from Gao County, and my home is from Li County. They are not very far away."

"Well, if you take the train ticket, it will only take two hours." Wu Youliang said, treating Huang Jingli to dinner that night and sending her to the dormitory.

They met at He Tiantian's house the next morning, which was considered an introduction.

When Huang Jingli was put on the train in the afternoon, Wu Youliang was very thoughtful and bought some cakes and eggs for Huang Jingli to take.

He Tiantian met Wu Youliang and Huang Jingli and got along well with each other, so he didn't care about their affairs.

What will happen to them in the future is also their own business.

Just as Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian were preparing things for the New Year, the Huo family welcomed two guests, Niu Dajun and Secretary Qi.

Before they came, they didn't send a telegram in advance. They came directly based on the address He Tiantian left.

When He Tiantian opened the door and saw the two people outside, he was stunned.

"Brother Dajun, Secretary Qi, why are you here? Did something happen to grandma?" He Tiantian asked hurriedly, first thinking of something bad.

Seeing this, Huo Yingjie hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Tiantian, don't be impatient. Let someone come in and talk slowly."

"Haha, third aunt is fine. I came here to ask your father-in-law and Yingjie something." Village Chief Qi said with a smile, "When I came here, I forgot to send a telegram. I didn't bother you, right?"

He Tiantian listened and said quickly: "Village Chief Qi, what are you talking about? I can't even welcome you when you come. How can you disturb me? It's cold outside. Come inside quickly."

Huo Yingjie led people into the house, and He Tiantian hurriedly made ginger soup to drive away the cold for the two of them.

Dinner had already been eaten, and He Tiantian cooked hot beef noodles for Village Chief Qi and Niu Dajun alone, which made them both sweat.

Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang heard that someone was coming from Qijia Village, so they quickly put on their clothes and came over.

Seeing that it was Secretary Qi, Jiang Lifang greeted warmly: "Brother Qi, why are you here? Let me know in advance so that I can pick you up in advance."

"Haha, it's okay. I calculated it before and you probably haven't gone to Yanjing yet, so I came here directly. You have to go to work and go to school. We have hands and feet and are literate. We know the address. Just ask. "Secretary Qi said with a smile, "It's just our sudden visit that disturbed you."

Seeing what Village Chief Qi said, Huo Zhekun said: "Brother Qi, you are out of touch by saying this. Is there something wrong? As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

Village Chief Qi saw that Huo Zhekun was so clear-headed that he stopped beating around the bush. If nothing happened, he wouldn't bother to come to Nanshi in the cold weather!

"Haha, we encountered some difficulties, or it can be said that we were confused." Secretary Qi said, "A few days ago, the leaders of the county party committee summoned all the village party secretaries to discuss privately the distribution of fields to households."

Divide fields to households?

Huo Zhekun smiled, feeling confident.

They received the documents from above, but they were not required to get it right in one step. They could find a place to pilot it first, so Nanshi found a few relatively remote villages. If the distribution of farmland to households is not suitable, it will not have much impact.

If the effect is very good, then it will be more reliable to implement it on a large scale.

"Yes, we divide the fields into households." Village Chief Qi took a puff of cigarette. "We used to be a large collective, and everyone is used to this. We feel that doing so is individualism and small groupism, so many people are unwilling to do so. Distributing fields to households.”

"Brother Qi, what do you think?" Huo Zhekun asked. Village Chief Qi came here for a special trip. It was very contradictory and he had his own ideas.

"When working in a large group, I found a lot of problems. Most people are still very diligent, but some people are still lazy and work hard. You may say that those people are lazy, but they are not like that. I guess it is because of working in a large group. , to make them realize that the work is of equal importance, so that’s why it is like this,” Village Chief Qi said, “If the fields are divided into households, and the family is the unit, then if the family does not work and cultivate the land well, there will be no food to eat. . I believe that no matter how lazy a person is, he will work hard if he thinks there is no food to eat.”

Village Chief Qi has been the village chief for so many years, and is a chief who is good at thinking. He has seen many problems.

"This is the starting point of the above-mentioned distribution of farmland to each household." Huo Zhekun said, "Long-term large-scale collectives are not good for production development, so the higher-ups began to think about reform. However, the pace of reform cannot be too big, so they recommend that various places find Several test points.”

"Brother Huo, you are an official, so you have a more thorough research on these things." Village Chief Qi said, "Just tell me directly, are there any benefits in dividing farmland into households?"

Huo Zhekun discussed this issue with his son Huo Yingjie, and his son firmly told him that it was imperative to divide the land into households. In this way, production relations can be changed and productivity increased while the land area remains unchanged. The above think tank has verified the theory countless times and is correct.

Therefore, the distribution of farmland to households is destined to bring about earth-shaking changes in rural areas.

"There are benefits." Huo Zhekun said, "The policy above is very flexible. After allocating fields to each household, you only need to hand over one hundred and ten kilograms of grain per acre, and the rest is yours. I also learned before that in Qijia Village The yield is very high, 400 jins per mu. If a family has 5 acres of land, if they hand over 500 jins, they still have 1,500 jins. Over there, it is two crops. Excluding the public grain, a family can harvest 500 jins. There are three thousand catties of grain.”
