After the beginning of spring, the two brigades in the east and west of the village began to prepare for spring irrigation. Now all the irrigation canals in the village are directly led from the reservoir. There is no need for water trucks to divert water from the river. Only some of them are on slightly higher ground.

From the fields, it is also necessary to use rollovers and weirs to pump water upwards.

Although it was only seven or seven years ago, what is different from the original drama is that the work point model in Maixiang Village is still the same one that Wang Zhong, Ma Renli, Niu Dangdao and others worked out six or six years ago.

Except for policyholders, everyone else has no guaranteed cents. If they want food and food, they can only work hard by themselves.

In the ten years from 1966 to 1976, although the policies from above were constantly changing, with Wang Zhong as Party Secretary, Niu Daudao as the bold and daring person, and Ma Renli as the dog-headed military advisor, the members of the Maixiang Brigade were still

I was barely able to eat, but I was short of oil and meat, couldn't save any money, and had little progress in my life.

The first round of spring irrigation had just ended, and Niu DaDang led a dozen young men to go fishing in the river eagerly.

Within a few days, it attracted the attention of the commune. Wang Wanchun and the Minister of Armed Forces, Guan Yuanchao, led their men to block Niu Dadan and his party at the edge of the reservoir.

"Niu DaDa, what's in the bucket?" Wang Wanchun asked straight to the point.

"Fish!" Niu boldly replied directly.

"Where did the fish come from?"

"Of course it's from the river!"

"Niu DaDa, you are stealing state property and it is illegal."

"Secretary Wang, although you are the secretary of the commune, you can't slander people out of thin air. The fish we catch are to be raised in the fish ponds of the brigade. The fish ponds of our brigade are collective. We are watching them.

These fish grew slowly in the river, so we picked them up and put them in the collective fish pond. We fed them again, and the fish grew faster. We didn't resell them for profit, so how could we say it was?

Stealing state property."

"Besides, Secretary Wang, the law doesn't explicitly stipulate that our brigade cannot collectively fish from the river, right?"

"This..." Wang Wanchun was confused by Niu Daring's quarrel. He didn't know how to answer. He couldn't help but look at Guan Yuanchao next to him: "There seems to be no regulation. Minister Guan, what do you think?"

"I..." Before Guan Yuanchao said anything, Niu Daandao answered again: "Secretary Wang, if you think it's not possible, then we will stop fishing in the future to avoid embarrassment for you. What do you think?"

"

Wang Wanchun was surprised when he saw that Niu DaDang, who had only known how to run rampant in the past, was actually playing tricks. He immediately thought of someone and said to Guan Yuanchao next to him: "Minister Guan, what Captain Niu said makes sense.

, they didn’t sell these fish for profit, so it’s not illegal, right?”

Guan Yuan nodded subconsciously and said, "It doesn't seem to count."

"Secretary Wang, Minister Guan, actually we are fishing for your consideration!" Niu boldly said.

"Think about us?" Wang Wanchun and Minister Guan looked at each other, and both looked at Niu Dadan: "I would like to hear how you think about us?"

Niu Bingdao said: "Think about it, let's catch this fish back and put it in the fish pond. Later, Secretary Zhang will bring the working group down to inspect the work, conduct research and so on. When we entertain Secretary Zhang and the others, can't we just directly

Do you want to catch the fish from the fish pond and make it into a dish?"

·······

Niu Dangda has already said what he said. If Wang Wanchun and Guan Yuanchao still stop him, then they are being unreasonable.

"Secretary Wang, are we really going to let this go?" Looking at Niu DaDa's back leading people away, Guan Yuanchao approached Wang Wanchun and asked in a low voice.

Wang Wanchun said: "What can we do if we forget about it? They are not reselling it privately. As long as they do not break the law, we have no reason to stop them."

Although Wang Wanchun is not responsible enough, he has a good heart. He can turn a blind eye to the best of his ability and make the people's lives more comfortable. He usually chooses to turn a blind eye.

Niu DaDa led his men to catch fish for almost ten days. Almost tens of thousands of big and small fish were thrown into the fish pond before he gave up.

But Niu DaDa is waiting for someone else to do it.

However, under the leadership of Ma Renli, the villagers in the west community of the village quietly started fishing and selling fish.

How could such a thing be hidden from others? Seeing Ma Renli and the others making money, they immediately became jealous and reported the matter to the commune. At first, Wang Wanchun just wanted to beat Ma Renli, but he didn't expect that this matter would be exposed.

Fortunately, the county has not yet stabbed Zhang Defu in front of him.

When Ma Renli was led back to the Maixiang Brigade by Wang Zhong, it was already May. Seeing that the summer harvest was approaching, all the villagers were so energetic that they didn't even sleep with their wives in their arms at night.

, for fear of wasting energy and not having the energy to go to the ground.

Only Ma Renli looked downcast, as if he had lost his soul. He stayed at home all day without even leaving the door.

Even the golden wheat all over the mountains and plains could not attract Ma Renli.

But the other team members in the village were very motivated. They rolled up their trousers, sleeves, put on their straw hats, and went into the wheat field with their sickles in hand.

After the wheat harvest, the team members saw the newly planted wheat being delivered to their hands. After collecting the wheat into their own warehouses, the team members did not dare to be idle. They immediately plowed and fertilized, preparing to plant corn, peanuts and soybeans.

Although peanuts and soybeans have not been planted for ten years, the skills of the villagers have not been lost, and the corn seedlings have been cultivated long ago.

Corn, soybeans, and peanuts are intercropped. In just over a month, the mountains and fields are covered with green. The sweet potato vines in the mountains are growing more and more happily, and the dozen pigs in the pig pen are growing quite well.

Taking advantage of the slack time in farming, Wang Zhong also led his people to clean up the oil-pressing workshop that had been idle for ten years, repairing what needed to be repaired and replacing what needed to be repaired.

In September and October 12th, the State Council officially announced the decision to resume the college entrance examination, and each province successively announced the specific time for the college entrance examination.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The three old Wang brothers and sisters are reviewing harder and harder.

Even Wang Zijin, who used to be the most naughty and mischievous in the past, also followed his two brothers all day long to study and review and prepare for the college entrance examination.

At the same time, the autumn harvest and autumn sowing came quietly and unknowingly. After the autumn sowing, Niu Dadan immediately took the young people in the village to steam and squeeze the harvested corn and peanuts.

Under Wang Zhong's guidance in the past, Niu Dangdao and others, who had gradually transformed from rawness to proficiency, are now masters in the oil pressing workshop. Niu Dangdao even took the position of the person in charge of the oil workshop on his shoulders.

superior.

Under the premise of the three-level system based on teams, the lives of the two production teams in the east and west of the village of Maixiang Brigade have gradually improved.

As the oil mill produced more and more oil, Wang Zhong led Ma Renli and began to visit the nearby brigade.

Jixian Brigade.

"Captain Han, let's not talk behind the scenes. Captain Ma and I are here this time to exchange the oil from our oil mill for your wheat and corn." After exchanging a few words with the leader of the Jixian Brigade, Wang

Zhong immediately stated his intention.

"Look, your Jixian brigade has food and oil, and our Maixiang brigade has oil but lacks food. Our two brigades exchange food with each other for cooking oil, just in exchange for the necessities that our team members need for life.

That's all, and neither of us made any profit from it, and neither of us broke any law. Even if the commune knew about it, it couldn't find fault with us."

"That's the truth, but what if the county secretary Zhang is to blame?" Captain Han of the Jixian Brigade was hesitant.

"Captain Han, even Secretary Zhang must act in accordance with the law. As long as we don't break the law, and Secretary Zhang is not an unreasonable person, how can he blame us for these things."

"Besides, we are doing this for the sake of the team members. If we don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about the kids on our team. They are all sallow and skinny, and they complain all day long that they don't have enough to eat! What's the reason for that? Because of their stomachs

There is no oil or water in there because there is no food in the house."

"Wang Party Secretary, is this possible?" Captain Han looked at Wang Zhong, his face had moved a little, but his eyes were full of worry.

"Why not?" Wang Zhong said with a smile: "You can first call the team members to sit down and have a meeting together. If you want to change the oil, whether it is wheat or corn, you can ask your team's accountant to make statistics first.

Get up, collect everything, put it into the account of the brigade, in the name of the brigade, come to us

The team changes oil."

"If the higher-ups really pursue this matter, you will put all the blame on me and say that you were deceived by my rhetoric. It just so happens that the villagers also have needs in this area. After discussing with the villagers, you

decision made."

"Captain Han, think about it, the oil sold by supply and marketing cooperatives is so expensive. Some of us ordinary people can afford it. If we can't afford the oil from supply and marketing cooperatives, why can't we squeeze it ourselves?"

After some good words and good words, Captain Han was finally persuaded, but this matter could not be decided by him alone. He had to hold a meeting to discuss it.

Wang Zhong didn't mind either and led Ma Renli to the nearby brigade. Within a few days, eight of the dozen or so surrounding brigade agreed to Wang Zhong's proposal.

Each family received only ten kilograms of the oil squeezed from the oil mill, and the rest was exchanged for wheat and corn. No brigade used money to buy oil. In the countryside, money is more expensive than food and other things.

.

Naturally, such a big news cannot be hidden from the commune, but just like the last time Niu boldly blocked Wang Wanchun, there was no reselling for profit, but some barter exchanges, and no money was involved. Naturally, Wang Wanchun would not look for trouble.

, causing trouble for yourself.

December 9th is coming soon, and it is the first time since 1966 that the college entrance examination will be resumed.

Brothers Ziping and Zi'an, who are 24 years old this year, and Zijin, who is 16 years old, have all signed up to take the college entrance examination.

Brothers Ziping and Zi'an majored in science, while their younger sister Wangzijin majored in liberal arts.

Early in the morning, before dawn, Jiang Hongguo dragged Wang Zhong out of bed. Jiang Hongguo rolled out the noodles, and Wang Zhong made fried sauce with pork belly, Xianggu, day lily and other side vegetables.

"It smells so good!" Brothers Ziping and Zi'an got up early. As soon as there was some movement in the main room, the brothers packed up and came out.

"Go stretch your muscles!"

Not long after, Zijin and Xiaomao, who were sleeping in the east wing, also got up.

Wang Zijin was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket and a bright red woolen hat knitted by her mother Jiang Hongguo. She had two earmuffs protecting her ears. She had a bright red scarf around her neck and two long braids hanging down her chest.

In front of me, even the cotton-padded jacket on my body was red.

"It smells so good, Mom, what are you having for breakfast?" Wang Zijin pulled his sister into the main room with a look of anticipation on her face.

Seeing his daughter's red face, Wang Zhong, who was lighting a fire by the stove, smiled unkindly.

"Not bad, not bad, it looks festive!" Wang Zhong said: "If you don't know, you might think it's the bride getting married."
