Kotone was on her way to the commune's radio station in a small mountain village.

At this moment, the higher-level Dajiang Prefectural Committee of Linjiang County, where the commune is located, is holding a meeting with the theme of conveying and implementing the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee and planning to change the backward social situation in the mountainous areas as soon as possible.

About 20 leaders of the prefectural party committee and county leaders sat around a large oval-shaped table, and in accordance with the arrangements of the central and provincial party committees, they were reflecting on the gains and losses of the past many years, exploring how to take the first step in the whole country in the journey of food, clothing and well-off people, and exploring a road that suits the actual local situation for the people to have food, clothing, and a well-off life.

In the humble conference room, everyone was discussing a problem: How to get the masses out of poverty as soon as possible and achieve food and clothing.

Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide for the future.. It has been 30 years since the liberation of the country, and the major countries in the world are engaged in economic construction and are developing rapidly. We must draw lessons from the history of backwardness and beatings in modern times, and we must not follow the old path of history and not be willing to sink. In order to stand tall among the nations of the world, the state must take economic construction as the central task and implement the economic development strategy as soon as possible.

Zhong Gui, a senior official of the prefectural party committee, conveyed the spirit of the central and provincial party committees: "The central government requires us in Quang Nam Province to cross the river by feeling the stones in the national strategy of solving the problem of food and clothing and achieving a moderately prosperous life, without any experience and precedent to learn from and learn from, and to lay a pioneer in solving the problem of food and clothing and realizing a moderately prosperous life for the whole country, and explore a new path." ”

Then, Zhong Gui took the lead in speaking: "The central and provincial party committees require us to be the first to open up the atmosphere in the Dajiang region, take the lead in the whole country, and take the lead in implementing the strategy of food, clothing and well-off. This is the hope of the central and provincial party committees for us, and it is also the glory of the Dajiang region. ”

Zhong Gui picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of tea, and continued: "Both the central and provincial party committees have told us that the country is still relatively poor and has no funds for us. It's up to us to fight our way out!"

Applause rang out.

Xin Xian, a senior official of Linjiang County, said: "Since the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, our county party committee has realized that as a county leader, it has the responsibility to change the long-term poverty and backwardness in the mountainous areas. We also understand that in terms of economic development, we in Linjiang County must dare to be the first, be bold, proactive, and active, and be a pathfinder. ”

Xin Xian paused and added: I have a hunch that our motherland is about to usher in a great turning point. A lot of the work is new to us, and we don't have any experience. However, I believe that as long as we think about the people and ask the people for advice, we will certainly be able to do a good job in the future. Since we are shouldering the heavy responsibility of being one step ahead, we need all the more courage to face the new situation and new challenges. We must explore the way for the development of the Dajiang region, for Quang Nam Province, and even for the whole of China.

Zhong Gui appreciated Xin Xian's statement very much. At the end of the meeting, Zhong Gui and Xin Xian discussed: At present, the most important thing is the mountainous area, where there are the largest number of people, living in the poorest, the ideology is relatively conservative, and the desire to change the status quo is also urgent, so it is necessary to go to the mountainous area to investigate, to help the cadres and masses in the mountainous area to implement the spirit of the central government, and to open the mountain gate as soon as possible.

They all thought of the commune where Koto was located. In fact, Zhong Gui wanted to take a look at the mountainous area the day before, and the relevant documents had been sent to Xin Xian, but he did not specify which mountainous area. Xin Xian received the notice the day before, so he planned his whereabouts, and the notice had been forwarded to the commune.

The commune received a notice from the district and the county, and worked non-stop to prepare for the reception overnight. Hurriedly notify the relevant personnel to be in place immediately. Previously, communes in the mountains rarely had big leaders arrive and did not have much experience in reception. However, the basic security, communication reports, accommodation arrangements and other work still came to mind, and they were arranged quickly.

Qin Yin is responsible for publicity and reporting. When she returned to the radio station, she thought that she was reporting on a leader who was bigger than the officials of the commune, and she couldn't help but get nervous for some reason.

Early the next morning, a car from Linjiang County drove into the commune. Zhong Gui and Xin Xian each brought a secretary, and they came in a light car. The commune had already arranged for more than a dozen guards, and they were waiting on the way to enter the commune very early. The car came and came to a sudden stop as it entered the middle of the two rows of guards. The car door opened, Zhong Gui and Xin Xian got out of the car, and the commune leaders who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly stepped forward.

When Zhong Gui learned that the person who greeted him was the leader of the commune, he called him aside and whispered: "We are here to be the decision-makers of the district and county, and we need to meet with the masses. It's good for your commune to send out guards, one on both sides, to block the masses. Isn't this a detachment from the masses?"

The commune leader was just about to explain something, but Xin Xian continued: "I know that you are thinking about our safety. But we are members of the Communist Party, and we are also the people. The real guards are the people. The people are the impregnable wall. Walking around among one's own people, that's the safest, do you need guards?"

The leaders of the Commune hurriedly asked the guards to withdraw.

Qin Yin held a notebook in her left hand and a pen in her right hand, and she used to observe the words and deeds of the leader through the guards, recording something from time to time, but when the guards withdrew, she became one of the members who directly faced the leader. I was nervous again.

Among those onlookers, only the sound of the piano was recorded on paper and pen, which stood out from the rest.

Zhong Gui and Xin Xian smiled at the onlookers, Zhong Gui raised his voice and said, "Folks! I heard that you took a great risk and secretly divided the fields into households, and someone from above came to inspect them, so the production team was restored. Is that so?"

The crowd erupted in laughter. No one dared to answer.

Zhong Gui and Xin Xian both set their sights on the distinctive qin sound. It is said that a simple-looking girl will not deceive people, Xin Xian smiled and said: "This girl who recorded, tell me, is it true?"

Qin Yin looked left and right, only she was the girl who recorded, and besides, the leader and the surrounding people were looking at her with expectant eyes.

"Yes!" replied to the crisp soprano voice.

There was a sudden silence around, and you must know that at this time, the division of fields to households has not yet been officially launched, and it is stuck in the stage of some farmers dividing fields to households on their own. Everyone doesn't know how the leaders will shine next and what kind of punishment Qinyin will receive.

Xin Xian did not express his position, but looked at the bigger leader Zhong Gui implicitly.

Zhong Gui didn't get angry, but raised a big thumb finger at Qin Yin, "This girl can tell the truth and has a lot of courage." What we need is the truth from everyone, the truth. ”

Listening to this, the rabbit that was beating in the heart of the piano gradually calmed down.

But then, Zhong Gui's words made Qin Yin's heart beat faster. Zhong Gui said: "Then girl, do you think we should support or oppose the division of land into households?"

Like a soldier in the ranks, Qin Yin stood up to the torch-like gaze around her, and with the knowledge she had learned from reading and what she had heard and witnessed at the radio station, she talked eloquently:

Isn't Xiaogang Village in Fengyang, Anhui Province, also secretly dividing the land into households, and it may become the earliest model for implementing the household responsibility system for joint production. Doesn't reform start from the countryside, and isn't it precisely the creative beginning of the peasants from the division of land to households, so that hundreds of millions of Chinese can say goodbye to hunger?

The production team requires the team to work and distribute in a unified manner. However, the small mountain village is located in a mountainous area, and there are no monolithic agricultural conditions suitable for large-scale development like the plains, and the fields in the village, one by one, are barren and barren in different sizes, scattered all over the mountainous area. The roads are narrow, the fields are not large, and it is very inconvenient for too many people to work at the same time. The fields are divided among the households, and the amount of grain to be paid at the end of the year is given. In this way, those who are lazy will suffer losses, and those who are industrious will still earn more food.

Our small mountain village also secretly carried out the division of fields to households, and it turned out that the yield was much higher than the original, and everyone was happy.

……

Qin Yin kicked the ball back to Zhong Gui: "Do you say you should support it, or should you oppose the division of the field to the household?"

Zhong Gui smiled and said mysteriously: "There will be a meeting in the commune then, and I will tell you at the meeting." ”

"Although the current leaders are in high positions and important positions, they are approachable, amiable, and have a good democratic style. I don't know who said such a sentence in the crowd, and the people at the scene may be the most empathetic, from not daring to laugh, to everyone flocking to Zhong Gui and Xin Xian.

Some people say that it is good to divide the fields into households, and the leaders should support it.

Some people say that after the field was divided into households, a fool in the next village who had not worked before suddenly became industrious, got up early and worked in the dark, and his family life was much better than before.

Some people said that there is not enough water for irrigation in our mountainous areas, and they hope that the leaders will help solve it.

Some people say that we have a lot of stones there, and there is no place to open up the wasteland and farm.

When the villagers and the masses saw that the leaders were amiable and had no arrogance, they unceremoniously told all the problems they usually knew.

Zhong Gui and Xin Xian walked and listened in the crowd like this, and from time to time they also said a few words.

Qin Yin followed them closely, for fear of missing some important information......

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to the crowd, a cadre of the commune quietly approached Qin Yin, lowered his voice and told her: "Don't answer the leader's words indiscriminately. ”

Kotone replied unceremoniously, "I didn't answer randomly." You see, the leaders have given me a thumbs up. ”

The cadre said mysteriously: "I haven't answered indiscriminately, just now you mentioned your production team, and then the commune has received a notice that the leaders of the region and the county have temporarily decided to extend the investigation time and want to visit your village." ”

"Huh?!" Kotone really didn't think of that, "so what should I do?"

"What can I do? ”

"Will there be any bad consequences?"

"Who knows, you will carry the trouble yourself. ”

"And let me carry it myself? What are you big men doing? Oh, at the critical moment, you plan to let me carry it as a weak woman? What if I can't carry it?"

"Seeing that you speak and do things smartly, you are better than all of us, who do you not carry? The leader of the commune asked me to tell you that if you can speak well, you must accompany the superior leaders, and if the leaders ask questions, you must answer them. ”

"Oh, oh, oh. ”
