Just after the New Year, the eldest son and the second son went to Peiping. Not long after, the third son Zijin also returned to the provincial capital. He was busy with studies. Each of the three children had their own plans and clear goals. They all wished they could do it earlier.

Enrich themselves.

Although Wang Zhong did not teach his children much in the past, it was more of a basic education and a deeper professional level. Wang Zhong did not involve it. He only cultivated the children's interest in learning and the habit and method of self-study.

These undoubtedly allow the three children to better adapt to their respective college lives. The eldest and second child are boys, and they are not young. Wang Zhong is not worried. The third child, Zijin, is a girl, but his temper is not calm enough, but Zijin

He has practiced self-defense well, and at this time, there are basically no security incidents in the university.

However, Wang Zhong is also open-minded. His children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. He has raised them up, and he cannot always feed them with milk bottles. They still have to live their own lives.

There is still no news from Zhou Yihu. It seems that he has encountered a lot of resistance. However, Zhou Yihu is capable, courageous, and responsible. Wang Zhong still has great confidence in him.

Sure enough, in mid-February of the lunar calendar, the weather started to get warmer and spring irrigation was coming, so news came from Zhou Yihu.

"Secretary Zhou?" Looking at Zhou Yihu and Wang Wanchun who got off the jeep, Wang Zhong and Niu Dadan were extremely surprised.

"Of course I have good news to tell you." Zhou Yihu said with a smile, his eyes filled with joy. Niu Dadan immediately asked excitedly: "Has the superiors agreed to the pilot?"

"Agreed!" Zhou Yihu said with a smile: "Wan Chun and I came here specifically to tell you the good news. By the way, I will also tell you what aspects you should pay attention to, so as to prevent you from making any mistakes."

"Hey hey hey!" Niu Dadan almost laughed out loud. Wang Zhong said: "You are still watching us, what could possibly go wrong?"

"Stop being so playful and talk about business!" Zhou Yihu looked at the two of them seriously and said, "How sure are you?" Wang Zhong and Niu looked at each other boldly, and Wang Zhong took the lead and said: "As long as there is no natural disaster, we have a hundred confidences.

One hundred percent sure." Since last year, the Maixiang Brigade has once again entered the same head-scratching development stage six or six years ago. With the foundation laid nearly two years ago and this year, the wheat sown this autumn will

Not only are the varieties the latest grain varieties, but even fertilizers have begun to use chemical fertilizers on a large scale.

As before, limited by economic conditions, chemical fertilizers can only be used on a small scale, and most of them still rely on farmyard manure.

For this year's winter wheat, the Maixiang Brigade plans to use a combination of chemical fertilizers and farmyard manure. After all, if only chemical fertilizers are used, the demand for chemical fertilizers will be too great. Now the country has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the development and production of chemical fertilizers, but

Due to technical and various reasons, some chemical fertilizers still rely on imports, which results in the price of chemical fertilizers not being as close to the people as it was in later generations.

"Yes! We are 100% sure!" Niu Dadan followed Wang Zhong and assured Zhou Yihu.

"Okay!" Zhou Yihu said loudly: "Then I will wait for you two to come up with results."

"Just take a look!" Zhou Yihu pulled the two of them and said a lot of things, including some things to pay attention to, as well as some support and care that he helped to obtain.

Holding the red-headed document that Zhou Yihu personally delivered to his hands, Wang Zhong, Niu Dangdang, Ma Renli, and Ma Renlian sat at the team headquarters to discuss for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion.

The next day, the Maixiang Brigade held a meeting of all team members. Representatives from every household were sent, and the entire team headquarters was packed. The outside of the company headquarters was also crowded with onlookers, who came to watch the fun.

"Folks, I believe everyone has heard the news. I'm calling everyone here today because I have a big happy event to announce!" Wang Zhong sat at the head of the table and said loudly with a smile: "Secretary Zhou Yihu, Zhou Yihu,

He was thinking about us and helped us apply to the province. After a lot of effort and fighting against all objections, the province finally agreed to launch a pilot project in our Maixiang Brigade to try to implement the policy of household responsibility."

"As the name suggests, the collective contracts the land to everyone on a household basis. From now on, everyone will farm their own land, harvest their own grain, pay enough to the state, keep enough to the collective, and the rest is ours." At this point in time,

Even the land has not been divided yet, so naturally there is no provision for retaining, raising funds, apportioning, and paying the state and collective contributions. The rest is naturally the farmers' own.

"Brother Chong, what should we do with people like Grandpa Second?" Three Monkeys have always been Wang Zhong's staunchest supporter. Every time Wang Zhong convenes everyone for a meeting, he is always the most cooperative one.

"We have discussed this point!" Wang Zhong said nothing, and Niu stood up boldly: "In order to take care of the needy households in the village, and also to solve the problem of production tools, we decided to work as a small team as before.

As a unit, we all farm together. The specific measures are the same as when we were in the mutual aid group, that is, the mutual aid group has become a production team and just changed its name." Wang Zhong added: "It means that our work point system has been cancelled.

, whichever family contracts which piece of land, and whichever piece of land grows enough food to be left over by the state and the collective, will belong to that family."

"Of course, and the most important point is that everyone must remember clearly that the land belongs to our brigade collectively. Every household only has the right to cultivate, and does not have the right to resell it privately. Whose land has been contracted for more than a year?

If it is, it will be regarded as voluntarily giving up the contract, and it will be taken back by us collectively and we will be responsible for handling it collectively."

"Brother Big Chong, who is willing to leave the land to waste?" the three monkeys said with a smile.

"That's right!" Lao Ganbang also added with a smile: "If that's true, then I can't abandon the land even if I'm exhausted in the fields." Everyone started to speak one after another.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay, okay! Everyone, be quiet for a moment and listen to me first." As soon as Wang Zhong spoke, the room immediately became quiet, and even

The villagers watching outside the house all shut up and stopped discussing. They pricked up their ears and listened carefully: "We have discussed it. In order to reduce the number of diagnoses, we will divide it according to the current method. The brigade is divided into

The members of the eight regions and eight teams will remain unchanged for the time being. Each team will elect one person, and the land area contracted by each team will be determined by drawing lots."

"Let's make an agreement first. We'll catch you wherever you go. No one will regret it." As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, Ma Renlian moved the box containing the paper balls that he had already prepared to the table.

"Eight paper balls, eight numbers, let's draw lots in the order first, and then draw lots in the order on the paper. Which area is captured will be the area contracted by that team. No one is allowed to go back on his word.

If you have any opinions, please hurry up and start selecting someone." The captain of the team is not fixed, but takes turns, so it is naturally difficult to appoint the person who will draw the lot.

The drawing of lots alone took more than ten minutes, and three-quarters of the time was wasted on selecting the person to draw the lot. Fortunately, the result was smooth. With eight plots, the land naturally had good and bad properties.

Wang Zhong and others have done their best to be as fast and fair as possible. The farmland and fruit trees in the village are divided into eight areas. Basically, the eight teams are equally divided, and then subdivided into each household. However, after Wang Zhong and others

Despite its high prestige, this work has not been hindered much.

Of course, the bigger reason is that the folks today are still very simple, not so profit-seeking, and focus on money.

In their view, being able to guarantee household production is already very satisfying.

"Brother Big Chong, are there any differences between the fish pond and the pig farm?" he asked with eyes shining when he was not full.

"There is also an oil shop!" his wife Xiaozhuan added.

"You two haven't taken enough advantage, have you? You dare to worry about collective things?" Wang Zhong glanced at the two couples and said calmly.

"No, no!" He quickly explained after not having enough to eat: "How dare we!"

"It's okay if you don't dare!" Wang Zhong said: "Whether it is an oil mill, a fish pond, or a pig farm, they are all collective properties."

"One more thing. This time the production quota is guaranteed to each household, the province only agreed to conduct a pilot project in our brigade. Everyone should understand what a pilot project is. Whether we can keep the land contracted depends on everyone's efforts."

"Brother Chong, don't worry. Even if we die from exhaustion, we will die from exhaustion in the fields!" Blind Old Yin said with a smile.

"If nothing happens, let's call it quits. In a few days it will be spring irrigation. Let's get ready!"... In the summer of 1979, although household responsibility system had only started for less than a few months,

However, the wheat yield from the summer harvest was nearly 80% more than last year. The average yield per mu was nearly 400 kilograms, and the maximum yield per mu was nearly 460 kilograms.

Although this is inseparable from the use of improved seeds and chemical fertilizers, it also has a lot to do with the harder work of the villagers.

During the summer harvest, Zhou Yihu led the working group to the Maixiang Brigade again and was quite satisfied with the preliminary results produced by the Maixiang Brigade.

"Don't be proud. This year's autumn grain and next year's summer grain are the time to test your results!" Zhou Yihu said, beating Wang Zhong and others.

"Secretary Zhou, don't worry, we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer for this autumn harvest and next summer's harvest." Che Zhuluo went back and forth, but Wang Zhong still had confidence.

If nothing else, let’s just say that the village was used to cheating and cheating on the underfed, small-time couple, and now they were working hard in the fields every day, unlike a few years ago when they would look for opportunities to be lazy from time to time.

Wang Zhong, Ma Renli and others were also completely liberated from the complicated work. Otherwise, the complicated work of recording daily work points, monthly subtotals, totals at each stage, and converting public grains and grains would not look good.

Difficult, but very trivial. It takes a lot of time and energy. If time is spent on these things, production will inevitably be delayed.

Moreover, it is not enough to complete it once. In order to prevent errors, all data must be double-checked twice.

In order to avoid the situation of seeking power for personal gain and ensure fairness, openness and impartiality, the statistics and review cannot be the same person.

The huge workload corresponds to a long time and a lot of energy, and facts have proven that household quotas can indeed greatly improve productivity and enable farmers to have enough food and clothing, especially those who lack farmland and land.

Mountainous areas.

In the autumn of 1979, the autumn grain harvest of the Maixiangling Brigade doubled compared to last year. In the summer of 1980, the output of winter wheat reached a new high, with the average yield per mu approaching 500 kilograms, and the maximum yield per mu exceeding 500 kilograms.

Fifty kilograms, reaching the point of nearly six hundred kilograms.

This is inseparable from the scientific and advanced planting technology brought by Wang Zhong, and is also closely related to the large-scale use of chemical fertilizers and the adaptation of wheat varieties to the Maixiangling area.

The happiest person was Zhou Yihu, who stood behind and strongly supported the Maixiang Brigade in the pilot project. Although the progress was not too much compared to last year, compared with other brigades in the county during the same period, it was far beyond

Already.

The yield per mu of the Maixiang Brigade is now about twice that of other brigades. Naturally, the province will not turn a blind eye to such remarkable results. Zhou Yihu immediately pursued the victory and wanted to expand the area of ​​the pilot, preparing to promote household-based production quotas throughout the country.

Qingze County, even the entire Shandong Province, and even the whole country.

On this day, Niu Dadan hurried over to find Wang Zhong, looking anxious, panting, and unable to speak clearly.

"Big insect, hurry up..."

"What's going on?"

"Second Grandpa... Second Grandpa... Come with me and have a look!" Niu DaDang couldn't explain clearly.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Zhong quickly put down what he was doing.

"I'll go to Second Grandpa's house first. You go to my house and let Ziyu take my medicine box to Second Grandpa's house!"

"Okay!" The two of them hurriedly went their separate ways. When Wang Zhong rushed all the way to the second grandfather's house, Qiao Yue and Maihua were both in the house. The second grandfather was lying on the kang with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

.

"What's going on?" Wang Zhong quickly walked to the kang and asked while checking.

"I don't know either!" Qiao Yue's face was full of worry, and her eyes seemed to have lost focus: "I was delivering food to the second grandpa, and I saw the second grandpa lying on the kang, and he couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed." Not long after, Niu

Da Dao and Tzu Yu also arrived.

"Dad, medicine box!"

"Silver needle!" Wang Zhong said directly. Ziyu lit the candle skillfully and took out the needle bag containing the silver needle.

"Brother Da Dao, help to untie Second Grandpa's shirt." Wang Zhong greeted Niu DaDa. While helping Second Grandpa with an acupuncture, he provided blood circulation, dictated a prescription to Tzuyu, and took the medicine. After Wang Zhong checked it himself,

Let Qiao Yue go through it.

Half an hour later, the second grandfather slowly woke up. Niu Dadan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the wrinkles on his face finally calmed down.

Outside the house, Wang Zhong and Niu DaDang whispered: "Brother DaDang, Second Grandpa is probably here for a few days. You have an idea." Niu DaDang suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning and looked at Wang Zhong in shock.

"Hasn't it been rescued?" Niu Bingdao asked in confusion. Wang Zhong shook his head and said: "It's just to slow down. The second grandfather is over ninety years old after all, and his body has reached the point where he is about to die, and his five internal organs

All the six organs have been exhausted. Now that I have regained my breath, it is actually just a return to the light. How long I can survive depends on how long the second grandfather can hold his breath!" Niu Dadan still didn't want to believe this fact.

Wang Zhong patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't think too much. Second Grandpa should be aware of his own health. You should stay with Second Grandpa more these days to see what else he has to say."

Right!"

"Is there really nothing we can do?" Niu DaDa asked in disbelief.
