Chapter 15 Contracting of waterlogged fields

Less than half a month later, Wang Hongying discovered what five acres of heart-congesting farmland were! Liu Yujin had already taken back more than 20 acres and wanted her to die. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's not enough to ask for a small life, and she has to pay the public 1,500 yuan in compensation (in fact, it's the contract fee, called compensation here), which is a huge debt that she doesn't dare to die even if she dies! She feels that if she doesn't vent it every day, she will definitely go crazy with nervousness.

"Liu Yujin! Why are you so good at doing this? You can get back so many fields without saying a word, and you have to compensate the production team for more than 1,000 yuan a year. It's just that kind of field, you can't plant anything, but no one wants to plant it if you find money. Only you, a fool, are in a hurry to plant that field.

Now that we are separated, we are afraid that we will not be able to earn 200 yuan a year, I think where are you going to get so much money for the production team......?

The girls don't understand the, they know that they are chattering non-stop here, Liu Yujin can still endure it at first, thinking that when she gets the lotus root and comes back and plants it in the field, she will be able to understand that she is not fooling around. It's just that the frequency of this nagging and sarcasm is getting higher and higher, and he even goes so far as to say that he sells his sons and daughters, and no matter how poor he is, he can't do the mess of selling his sons and daughters, okay? Liu Yujin said that he has no way to bear it. also quarreled: "You stupid woman, you don't know anything, you know all day and night." Do you know how much work I went to to get that field down? If I can't plant anything, as people say, why should I bother with that god?

I had planned that field for a long time, and it was specially used to raise lotus roots. Half of the spring lotus root and half of the summer lotus root can be sold at least three seasons a year. The old lotus root that can't be sold is part of it kept for seed, and part of it is used for lotus root powder. I don't want to have more than one acre of land, as long as I can collect a thousand catties, and a catty can be sold for three cents, I can earn more than three hundred. These more than 20 acres are almost 30 acres, you calculate, how much can I earn in a year?

In addition, the captain of the section of Yanwan Ditch belonging to our production team asked me to be responsible for cleaning up the weeds that affect the drainage every year. The captain said that he would not let me work in vain, that section of the ditch could be used by me, and it would be good to put ducks and geese in it. However, I also plan to raise fish in it, and the ditch is not wide, so it is easy to build a living dam at the boundary between the upper and lower ends. If you can't raise fish, I will raise water melon (water white), and people in the city who like to eat lotus root will definitely like to eat water melon. ......”

Wang Hongying listened to her husband Balabala's more and more energetic words, while her mind kept turning, thinking about the feasibility of her man's plan. First of all, it is absolutely okay to raise lotus root on that land, and she doesn't think there is anything to refute this. Raising ducks and geese in the weir ditch is also feasible, raising gourds is definitely not good, and the seedlings of gourds hinder drainage more than Ge Ming grass, cattail grass and water hyacinth. Fish farming is also not feasible, although it is said that the two ends can be dammed and intercepted, and the south bank of the weir bay ditch is very high, and when the water is heavy, the fish in the ditch will only run into their own lotus root fields. But I'm afraid that if I really make money at home, there will definitely be people who are jealous and bad, as long as the net is broken, the fish in it will run out, and the year will be in vain. Raising ducks and geese will work, but the problem is that every family is ready to start raising them vigorously next year!

Wang Hongying, who had thought clearly, was able to speak calmly: "Then if you don't tell me in advance, how do I know that you have such a plan? However, when I hear you say this, I also think it's very good! It's just that the gourd! Don't put it in the weir ditch to raise it, otherwise when the time comes, the water will be even more unable to flow." I think you can plant five points of the field first, if you can make the same money as lotus root, let's plant more, after all, planting water melon is much easier than planting lotus root. We won't raise that fish for the time being, we don't have to let people spoil it, and then we'll be busy in vain. Ducks and geese, you don't need to raise too much, just take a little and raise a little, so as not to sell them, and you have to take food to serve. However, after such a search, I found that it required a lot of capital! Where does this money come from?"

Liu Yujin listened to his mother-in-law affirming his calculations, and he was very happy. Hearing that the mother-in-law was worried about the cost, she raised her head disdainfully: "What kind of capital do you want? Uncle will help me get the seeds of lotus roots, and if you can get lotus roots, you will make lotus roots, and if you can get lotus seeds, you will make lotus seeds, anyway, Uncle said that this matter will definitely not make a mistake for me. The gourd is even simpler, there are a lot of gourd roots in Jiangjiatang in Houzhuang, and I have already said hello to the old man of the Jiang family. He told me to divide the roots at any time, as much as I wanted, as long as I didn't destroy his family's melon roots. ”

Only then did Wang Hongying know that her man had unconsciously made all the preparations, and she didn't need to worry about it at all. Suddenly, like Liu Yujin, she was full of energy, and she believed that she would have a good life in the future.

After the distribution of production to the household, the family is busier and harder than when they were in the collective. When you are a group, there are many things that do not require the participation of the family, but now it is not possible. For example, releasing water in the field, irrigating water, checking the condition of seedlings, etc., in the past, one person could manage dozens of acres of fields, but now even if a family only has five points of field, they have to spend time and energy to go around the fields every day to check it. Also, plowing the fields is more tiring than when you are in a collective. In the collective, the tractors of the brigade take turns to help with the fields in each production group, and each production group also has four to ten large buffaloes to work. Now the production is divided into households, and every family is reluctant to spend money to ask the village tractor to help, and the large buffalo of the production team is also sold to individuals at a discount. Whoever wants to use cattle has to pay for it. Most families are reluctant to spend money, so they exchange labor for cattle workers, two labor for one cattle laborer. Therefore, everyone feels much more tired than when they work in a group. However, when it was time for the harvest, there were no complaints.

In previous years, every house was empty, and the big man who loaded the grain at home was simply an ornament for the ears of the deaf. But this year is different, after paying the parity grain (paying the public grain), there are still bamboo rolls in the house (bamboo, flat, one meter wide, more than ten zhang long. Able to circle up the paddy) Circle by two people more than two high paddy. That is, half of the high-priced grain will be sold, and the rest of the grain will be able to be eaten by the family until next year's early rice harvest. The family has surplus food and is not panicked, tired is a little tired, but this heart is steady. By the time of the Chinese New Year, I believe that the atmosphere of the family will become jubilant.
