Chapter 3 Immigration in the Dianzhuang
When Director An saw An Yongfu appear, he thought it was An Yongfu who came to get a letter of marriage, but he didn't expect it to be here to apply for immigration to the village.
"Yongfu, have you considered it clearly?"
"Uncle, I have thought it through, and I can't survive here. There are only two or three acres of land in total, and there is not enough food to eat. Now I am married to Shuihua and I will have my own children in the future. The food in the land is getting less and less every year, so it is not a solution to continue like this."
"Since the court asked us to immigrate to the village, it must be for our own good. Although there are still some difficulties now, as long as we are willing to work, we will definitely be better than living here."
Director An nodded when he heard Zhao Shucheng's words and said, "Okay, then I'll tell the person in the Dianzhuang office and ask you to go to the Dianzhuang. You have taken the initiative to ask, don't be a deserter, and it will lose our An family's face."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't. If I can't make a fortune, I won't come back."
After An Yongfu said this, he felt relieved when he saw Director An's proof of the start. He thought that the rest of the village would have to endure hardships, so he put forward his own suggestions.
"Uncle, you also know that immigration to the Dianzhuang is a major event for the court. How many major events have the imperial court established and done? When did it give up halfway? Well, I think immigration to the Dianzhuang is a good thing, but before, the village name went by himself, so there was no organizational discipline."
"As long as they encounter a little difficulty, they will feel unsure. The staff of the hanging house there will definitely not be able to stare at every family. If one runs, the others will follow you, which will waste your time in vain."
When Director An saw Zhao Shucheng say this, he felt that he must have his own purpose, so he asked: "What do you want to say?"
"Uncle, since this matter must be done, we will eventually move the people in our village out. You, the director, have to take the lead. Don't we have the tradition of party members taking the lead, and we should play this role now."
"Although it will be a bit difficult at the beginning, when it develops, everyone will definitely be more grateful to you, Director."
Director An looked at An Yongfu, but he didn't expect that this kid was waiting for him here. He actually understood An Yongfu's meaning. He was not the case for this village director, but definitely wanted to make life in the village better.
"But if I go, what should I do in this village? You can't leave it alone, right?"
"This is easy to deal with. If you go to the Diaozhuang to immigrate, then let your brothers farm in the Diaozhuang, you will come back every ten days and a half months, or even stay in the village by yourself."
Director An looked at An Yongfu angrily and said, "What, do you want your uncle to live a lonely life?"
"That's not. The place where the village is definitely not allowed to be brought with you all year round. When it is autumn and winter, your family can also come back, just so that the villagers can see how good we live."
Director An thought for a while and said, "This matter is too big. I need to report to the above. You can go to the Diaozhuang to catch the front station first."
"Okay, uncle, I'll leave first."
Director An suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, your family has gone to the dangzhuang, what should you do with your land?"
"I let my uncle plant the land. He gave him a bride gift and had no money to give it to him for the time being. This land will be repaid."
"You guy is a little conscientious, let's go."
After An Yongfu walked out of the village committee, he went home and packed things with Li Shuihua and prepared to immigrate to the village.
Li Shuihua looked at the furniture in the room and said reluctantly: "Yongfu, what are we bringing? Why do I feel like I have to bring everything?"
An Yongfu looked at his home and said, "There is no need to bring too many things. Apart from pots, pans, and clothes and bedding, it's fine. When we arrive at the dang shop, we can buy other things directly from the local area."
"Hey, how much does that cost."
"What is money? Money is a bastard. Let's make money again if it is gone."
Although Shuihua couldn't bear to leave these things at home, Yuquanying was far away from here. If everything was really moved away, there would definitely be no way.
Director Zhang was having a meeting with Yongquan Village. There were more people who escaped from Yongquan Village, and there were seven households. He had mobilized many people in Yongquan Village before, but he didn't want to sign up for the hanging village.
When Director An arrived, he saw this situation and immediately began to think about it in his mind.
When Ma Yingshui saw Director An coming, he thought it was because of Li Shuihua and An Yongfu's marriage, and asked curiously: "Why are you here again?"
Director An looked at Director Zhang and said, "Well, it's not for you, but for Director Zhang. Director Zhang, An Yongfu and the Russians want to immigrate to the village. I wonder if you like it or not?"
Director Zhang was very happy when he heard this. Although he was here to complete the indicators arranged by his superiors, it would be better if he could immigrate more village names.
"Of course you are welcome, are you saying true?"
Director An said: "Why isn't it true? Yongfu is ready to start packing his luggage, just waiting for your agreement."
At first, people from Yongquan Village thought that immigration to Diaozhuang was not a good thing, but when they heard Director An of Kushui Village signed up and brought An Yongfu with him, they immediately felt that immigration to Diaozhuang might be really a good thing.
"Director Zhang, you can't give the quota in our village to other people. These seven households belong to the Russian village."
"Yes, this is from the Russian village, and we didn't say we couldn't go, why did we give the quota to others?"
"That's right, let's go!"
For a moment, the crowd was in a state of affairs, as if once Director Zhang said that the quota was given to Kushui Village, the village name would go to war.
Director Zhang didn't expect that it would be useless to say anything before, but now there is not enough spaces.
"Everyone, there are still seven places in your village, which is not enough. If others are willing to immigrate to the village, you need to report to the superiors. Only if the superiors agree can you go."
Others have no opinion on this. After all, they thought the quota was nothing before, but now it seems that the quota is a very precious thing.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Director An didn't want to give up like this and asked directly: "What should I do about immigration to the Russian village in the Dianzhuang?"
Director Zhang thought for a while and said, "In this way, today I will make the decision. You are the director and branch secretary, but you are not counted as the quota for immigration in the Dianzhuang. There are seven quotas for the others. If someone comes back from your village, even if An Yongfu is the one who is above this quota."
Director An was very satisfied with this. Of course, he also knew that the more immigrants in the Dianzhuang, the better, so he did not expose the limited immigration quota mentioned by Director Zhang.
The people in Yongquan Village did not expect that there was still an unexpected surprise now. They removed Ma Yingshui's family and then Shui Wangye's family. In this way, there were two more places in Yongquan Village, and they were competing for this place for a while. However, in order to take care of the orphans and widows, the Gawa family also got a place.
Yuquanying is still a Gobi Desert now. The wind blows the sand and there is no grass growing on the ground.
Zhao Shucheng led Li Shuihua to follow the team of the village. After coming to Yuquan Camp, he fully felt the hardships of the Gobi Desert. The wind here was filled with sand, which made the face hurt. Zhao Shucheng directly asked Shuihua to wrap her face with a scarf to avoid hurting her face.
The sand inside the wind comes from the nearby Badain Jilin Desert, Tengger Desert, Ulanbuhe Desert, and Kubuqi Desert. Yuquanying is surrounded by it. There is basically wind every day, so it is difficult to not eat sand.
It was the first time Li Shuihua saw such a place. At first glance, it was all flat, and it felt much better than the mountain nests in Kushui Village and Yongquan Village. However, she was also a farmer and did not see that the land on the roadside was full of sand and stones. If you want to farm, you need to pick out the stones in the ground first.
"Yongfu, where do we live? Why didn't I see where I live?"
Zhao Shucheng looked around and found that the place was now full of flat land and there were not many houses. Of course, it was only 1991, and immigration to the Dianzhuang had just begun, and no one could save money to build a house. Most people were still fighting against the land in the Gobi Desert and wanted to grow wheat and harvest food.
"The conditions are not good now, and most people cannot build houses. They all live in local nests."
Li Shuihua didn't expect that Zhao Shucheng knew about it and asked curiously: "What is a land nest?"
"The land nest is a relatively popular way of living in the Gobi Desert. It is said that it was first tried when the Construction Corps opened up the Western Regions. They now dug a deep pit about one meter on the ground, with a square shape and an area of about two or three meters. They built a half-meter-high low wall with adobe or bricks around them. A few pieces were placed on the top, and they were weaving them into rafts with branches, covering them with grass leaves and soil."
Li Shuihua heard Zhao Shucheng's words and asked curiously: "Yongfu, how do you know so much?"
Zhao Shucheng shaved her nose and said, "Of course I have a lot of knowledge and have some inquiries."
The ground nest can withstand wind and sand, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer. The only disadvantage is that the gout conditions are relatively poor. Fortunately, the land here in Yuquanying is dry, so there is no need to worry about humidity.
Zhang Shucheng brought the immigrants to visit the land nest that had been built by the Jade Village Hu in the early stage, which can be regarded as allowing new immigrants to know how to build the land nest.
Zhao Shucheng carefully observed the construction of the ground nest, but according to his plan, he would only stay in the ground nest for a short time, and he would definitely find a way to build a brick and tile house afterwards. It is always not good to drill into the ground nest.
Other immigrants didn't think too much about it, but some people disliked the poor conditions. However, out of their yearning for a new life, and An Yongfu, Director and others took the initiative to request immigration to the village, they all felt that there would definitely be benefits here, but they just couldn't see it now.
Li Shuihua was a little curious about everything here. After all, she had never left Xihaigu before, and everything here was novel to her.
Ma Defu looked at Li Shuihua who was following An Yongfu and felt a slight pain in his heart, but his face was still pretending to be nothing. Zhao Shucheng noticed his gaze and couldn't help but tighten Li Shuihua.
"Yongfu, what are you doing? Someone is there!"
"You are your wife, what's wrong with me holding you? I'm swearing sovereignty and not letting others think of you."
