209 [Chen Tao's Little Abacus]
"Yo, Peaches is back!"
"Fourth master, have a good New Year. ”
"Peaches are getting more and more foreign. ”
"Hello Auntie!"
“……”
The rural areas are basically related to each other, and if you really want to talk about it, how can you find a kinship that is twisted and turned.
Chen Tao returned to the village in a car, and there were people to greet her all the way, and she had to ask Xiao Zhang to stop and say hello. Occasionally, when I met a child, I had to take out some snacks, but as a result, more and more children followed the butt of the car.
The village school has been renovated with window panes, two more basketball hoops, and new desks and benches.
The car was parked in the school playground, Xiao Zhang helped carry the New Year's goods, and Chen Guoliang and Chen Shi hurriedly ran over to help when they heard the sound.
"You kid, there is no shortage of things at home, what are you doing when you buy so much?" Chen Guoliang complained while laughing.
Chen Tao carried two pairs of shoes and asked, "Dad, Mom's body is okay?"
"Your mother is sick with wealth, she has to eat and drink well, and she can't be tired," Chen Guoliang said with a smile, "I've been recuperating for a year, and now it's much better, and I can walk around casually." ”
"That's good," Chen Tao walked to his yard, suddenly saw a big hole in the wooden door of the kitchen, and turned around and asked, "What's wrong with this door?"
Chen Shi said: "Recruit a thief." ”
Chen Tao asked, "Are you okay?"
"Those thieves are too bad," Chen Shi gritted his teeth and said, "I went home for half a month, and the thieves came twice." The first time I killed our dog's medicine, I also picked the kitchen door lock, but fortunately my dad heard the noise and scared them away. A few days later, the thief came again, and the kitchen door was changed to a hidden lock, and they couldn't pry it open, so they actually cut a hole in the door and reached in to unlock the lock and pull the latch. They tried to steal the TV in the living room, but when they didn't, they stole five chickens and bundles of sausages and bacon. ”
"Dad, our family is often robbed?" Chen Tao said worriedly.
Chen Guoliang comforted: "It's only a few times a year, not as scary as your brother said, mainly because there are many thieves when the New Year is approaching." ”
"Isn't it scary?" Chen Shi said depressedly, "Within a radius of 20 miles, our family is the richest, and those thieves point to our family to steal!"
Chen Guoliang said: "It's okay, I'll raise a few more dogs to guard the door at the beginning of the year." ”
"Dad, why don't you move to Rongping. Chen Tao is not afraid of thieves stealing, at most he will lose his TV and refrigerator, and he is afraid of encountering a ruthless direct burglary.
Chen Guoliang shook his head again and again: "I won't leave, the school will disperse as soon as I leave." The teacher who was assigned last year ran away again in less than three months, and the dolls were all counting on me to attend classes. ”
Chen Tao was silent.
Chen Guoliang complained again: "Alas, there are more and more children dropping out of school now. What education surcharge should be charged in the county and township, it is more than 100 in a semester, and the farmers are almost unable to afford the children to study!"
Chen Shi scolded: "It's all corrupt officials and corrupt officials who are messing around! I have specifically checked the policy at school, and the central authorities have long stipulated that the three mentions and five reunifications cannot exceed 5 percent of the peasants' per capita annual income, and the localities are clearly violating the central policy! The education surcharge is also collected indiscriminately, and in any case, it is just trying to extract money from the peasants' pockets. ”
Chen Tao stayed in the city for a long time, and then returned to the countryside, as if entering another world. Her father and brother kept complaining, and she could only laugh and echo it, occasionally saying a few words of comfort.
In 1995, China's economy was growing rapidly, but the life of farmers was getting harder and harder.
Arbitrary collection of fees, arbitrary apportionment, and arbitrary fines, collectively referred to as the "three disorderly rural areas", are common throughout the country, and are not a problem of one county or one locality. As for the reason, it is not necessary to go into details, but we only need to know that 900 million farmers are continuing to transfuse blood for China's rise.
Moving all the New Year's goods into the house, Chen Shi suddenly said: "Sister, I don't want to teach anymore, it's very boring." ”
"Nonsense," Chen Guoliang said angrily, "You are a good secondary school teacher, you are not right, your wings are stiff and you want to fly!"
Chen Tao blinked at his younger brother quietly, and Chen Shi immediately shut up.
During the Spring Festival, Chen Tao visited several relatives, and she found that they all owed money to her family. As for the other villagers' families, except for those who went out to work, the rest were living very badly, and they couldn't even afford to buy New Year's goods - the family had money, but it was all white.
In addition to paying taxes, peasants have to sell grain to the government at a low price, and after paying the grain, they have to buy it from the market at a high price. Even so, when selling affordable grain to local governments, they often don't get money, and they can only get white slips.
Chen Tao felt very uncomfortable, put aside the personal feelings of her children for the time being, and went to the town to call Song Weiyang and said, "I want to help the village." ”
"What's the situation?" asked Song Weiyang.
Chen Tao briefly said: "I think it's better and better our coke is selling, and the demand for medicinal raw materials such as white peony has also increased." In the past two years, the price of Chinese medicinal materials has risen rapidly, so it is better for us to plant and purchase them ourselves, and build a medicinal material base in the village. Our environment here is definitely fine, and there are a lot of wild medicinal herbs in the mountains. ”
"Yes, you can go back to the company to discuss it specifically. Song Weiyang said.
In the evening, Chen Tao called his younger brother to the room and said, "Do you want to lead the villagers to get rich?"
"How do you get rich?" Chen Shi asked.
"Grow cash crops. Chen Tao said.
"That's not getting rich, that's a pit person!" Chen Shi said excitedly, "The township next door is designated by the government as a tobacco planting area, which is laborious and laborious, not to mention the 31% tax, and it must be sold to a tobacco station, and the price is low and the white strip is played." Many farmers did not want to plant and quietly planted corn, but as a result, corn seedlings were pulled out and forced to plant tobacco. Now whoever dares to say that he grows cash crops will be beaten up!"
Chen Tao explained: "We don't grow tobacco, we grow medicinal herbs, and sell them directly to Xifeng's puree processing plant. ”
Chen Shi asked, "Can farmers get money?"
"Definitely not a white strip," Chen Tao said, "We plan to build a medicinal material base in the mountains, you have studied secondary school, and you are responsible for this." ”
"I'm in charge, I don't know how to grow medicinal herbs. Chen Shi said.
"You're here to be the village chief. Chen Tao said.
Chen Tao is smart, she has learned how to solve problems, and her plan has many benefits.
First, lead the villagers to get rich.
Second, tie up the neighbors and villagers into a body of interest, and enhance the prestige of the Chen family in the local area, so that thieves will not dare to come to the door in the future, and they will be beaten to death by the villagers every minute.
Third, find a way out for his younger brother, as long as the medicinal material base can be expanded, Chen Shi will definitely become the soil emperor of the village.
In this way, the problem of going home this year has been perfectly solved.
Chen Tao visited Huaxi Village last year, and many farmers have cars at home. She doesn't expect her village to drive a car, just a tractor, and this will be her base.
Therefore, Song Weiyang's worries are right, this girl is ambitious.
She not only worked in the company and cultivated several descendants, but also thought about building a medicinal material base to expand her influence.
People's hearts will change, if Song Weiyang and Chen Tao get married, there will be irreconcilable contradictions one day, and divorce can make the company very angry.
