"Secretary Wei, this is a place to live for you, you also know that we don't have a good house here, this is the house of Zhou Qiuhua's family, the man in their family died, only one daughter, and he is also a hard-working person, but people are diligent, I think you need to eat or something when you live in the village, and you also need a laundry person, so simply arrange for you to go to their house to set up a partner, usually their mother and daughter also help you wash and clean something, you just give them a bite to eat." Zhou Zhongshi looked at Wei Qianyang and said.

Looking at the mother and daughter standing in front of him, Wei Qianyang knew in his heart that it was estimated that these two mothers and daughters would not be able to live in the village.

"Well, I'm afraid it's inconvenient. ”

"Nothing was inconvenient, convenient and convenient. Zhou Zhongshi smiled and said to the mother and daughter: "Okay, as long as there is Secretary Wei to eat, you will have something to eat, and I don't want to thank Secretary Wei." ”

"Okay, don't call me any secretary, you can just call me Wei Qianyang in the future. ”

Through the introduction, Wei Qianyang knew that Zhou Qiuhua was thirty years old and her daughter was fifteen years old.

Hearing this age, Wei Qianyang is not surprised, in this era, there are many people in the countryside who are married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and it seems that Zhou Qiuhua also married at the age of fourteen or fifteen and had children.

It is said to be a residence, but in fact it is a mud house with ventilation everywhere, and the tiles on the top are almost broken, and the middle is separated by bamboo, which looks like it has just been separated, specially prepared for itself.

Open his luggage, this time Wei Qianyang has preparations, there are bedding in it, there is also some food, and the most important thing is that when he came, the county specially brought a bag of rice to those who were on duty.

Wei Qianyang saw that Zhou Qiuhua's daughter Yang Xiaoman's eyes lit up after seeing the bag of rice.

"Okay, I'll give you this food, and I'll cook some of it every day, and we'll eat it together." Wei Qianyang said with a smile.

Zhou Zhongshi's eyes also lit up, he didn't expect Wei Qianyang to bring so much grain to him.

You must know that according to the situation in their village, this bag of grain is enough to exchange for a woman, so she looked at the two mothers and daughters and said, "You seem to be blessed." ”

The two mothers and daughters were both eye-catching people, and quickly took Wei Qianyang's futon to help make the bed.

Wei Qianyang called Zhou Zhongshi and sat in the courtyard.

After the two sat down, Wei Qianyang said, "Village Chief Zhou, I have some development ideas that I want to communicate with you. ”

"Secretary Wei, look at what you said, you may not know the situation in our village, it's really too difficult, I can't develop it even if I think of many ways, I heard that you are a college student, you have the ability, as long as you can take everyone to eat, you let us do anything."

To tell you the truth, the reason why I arranged you to live in Zhou Qiuhua's house is that they are too difficult.

The mother and daughter don't have much labor, and the things they grow are not enough for them to eat, and the mother's family doesn't care about them, just think, you have something to eat and give them something to eat.

There is also a rule in our village, as long as you raise them, then in the village, they will be considered your people. ”

Hearing this, Wei Qianyang looked at Zhou Zhongshi.

Although he had learned some about the situation in Huangshi Village, and had heard of such things, what he knew was that only people living in this village would have this kind of rules, and outsiders did not know about some of the circumstances.

"Village chief, it's a new society now, we can't do anything that violates the law!" Wei Qianyang said solemnly.

Zhou Zhongshi sighed and said, "Our village is a natural village, and in previous years, many people who fled the famine came to live there.

In the era of war and chaos outside, this rule was formed in the village, that is, people who have no food can live with people who have food, and after surviving it, they will be voluntary, and if they want to disperse, they can live together, their mother and daughter are diligent people, and many people want to partner with them, but unfortunately, everyone has no food to eat......"

Hearing this, Wei Qianyang could be regarded as having learned about some of the situations in Huangshi Village that he had heard about in later generations.

When he first came to the village to understand, the people in the village didn't say this to him, but now Zhou Zhongshi probably really recognized him and regarded him as a villager.

"Village chief, they can help me cook or something, we can't do anything else. We are not in a hurry to talk about these things for now, but now for the people in the village, eating is the most important thing, so let's talk about it. ”

"Well, you're right, it's the big deal to talk about eating.

Alas, the land in our village is so bad that we can't grow anything else, we can only grow potatoes, because potatoes are not valuable, and if they are used to hand them in, they will have to be discounted, so there is not much left after we plant potatoes to pay the public grain. ”

Wei Qianyang only knew the situation at this time, and at the beginning he was still thinking that since he could eat potatoes, everyone should not be hungry, but now he knew that there were still some such problems.

"What's the payment method?"

"The county stipulates that the payment of rice is 25 percent, and the use of potatoes is 30 percent, which is public grain, and there is also the kind of surplus grain purchased at a discount, rice is 15 percent, and potatoes are 20, so almost half of the potatoes we grow are handed over, and even the amount of land planted per mu is also approved, and the labor force of their mother and daughter, how much do you say they can plant? After paying, they are basically hungry!"

"Does the county know about our village?"

"Of course I know, they can't help it, and the superiors also gave them hard indicators, so every time we hand it over, everyone won't have much left, besides, this thing has no oil and water, and it's still a little unbearable to eat too much. ”

"Can we use the money to replace the food?"

"There are regulations in the county, this is okay, but who has so much money to support food!"

Wei Qianyang recalled some data of this era, the purchase price of surplus grain seemed to be a dime a catty, and rice was a dime and a catty in the market. If this is the case, as long as you do it properly, you can get the money back.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhou Zhongshi and said, "Village Chief, if you believe me, I will take everyone to sell potatoes, as long as the operation is good, this problem will be solved soon." ”

"Alas, I can't help it, you say, what are you going to do, nothing else, if it's just potatoes, each family can still take out some. ”

Wei Qianyang smiled and said: "In this way, bring the villagers tomorrow, it is best if someone from each family comes, and I will discuss this matter with everyone." ”

"Okay, everything is up to you, as long as you don't violate the policy, you can do what you say. ”

Sure enough, this village chief is still a person who can do things!

When he saw that Zhou Zhongshi listened to his own words in everything, Wei Qianyang was really relieved, and the reason why he was willing to come here to take up a temporary post was because he learned about Zhou Zhongshi's character.
