If you can, put the book on the shelf, dear, it's convenient for you, and you support me, thank you!

It was only a day and a night when he came back, and there was no food at home, Feng Yiping didn't bother to clean up for a while, put down his things, and was about to go to a few uncles' houses to have a mixed meal, when Feng Weidong and Feng Hongbing's father and son came in.

Feng Weidong looked inside and out, "It's not bad, but there are two leaks, especially this part of the hall, which must be repaired." My family didn't check last year, I didn't expect this year to be so abnormal, so much rain, now there are three or four leaks, the forecast says that the rain will stop the day after tomorrow, I will find a way to get some tiles back to the neighborhood tomorrow, the day after tomorrow we will check the two together, but I can't do it alone, Dongming they are all at home, you go to talk about it in the afternoon, ask them to help the day after tomorrow. ”

Lunch was eaten at Feng Hongbing's house, and dinner was at the second uncle's house. From the beginning of the school year to the present, he has not come back for such a long time, and the second uncle's family also treats him as a guest, salted fish and bacon fresh tofu, plus egg drop soup and a few fresh vegetables, it is definitely a very rich meal for the farmer.

During the meal, Feng Yiping told him about it, and the second uncle agreed, and the day after tomorrow, he and Dongming went to help together, "It's raining so much this year, if you don't come back, I also want to go to Wei Dong's house to get the key and go to your house to have a look." ”

After eating, his cousin Dongming laughed at him, "I can't see it, you look so thin, and you are more powerful than me when you eat!"

Aunt said to him on the side, "Don't talk about others, when you are as old as Yiping, you can eat the same!"

After eating, when he came out of the second uncle's house, Dongming sent him home with a flashlight, and he was still carrying a large bag of peanuts in his hand, which the second aunt fried for him at night.

Because there was nothing to clean up at home, at night, Feng Yiping and Feng Hongbing were crowded together, but fortunately, it was also a big bed, and two people slept at two ends, which was very spacious.

The next morning, Feng Yiping was rummaging through his clothes in the bedroom box when he heard someone coming in, and when he came out, it turned out to be the village party secretary with the accountant and the women's director. These village cadres who were waiting for themselves to come to the door probably got the news from their classmates who came back together yesterday, and they came over because they had breakfast.

Without waiting for Feng Yiping to say hello, they found a stool to sit down, and the branch secretary said with a big grin, "Smoke is not respectful, why don't you even greet tea?"

Feng Yiping was still thinking about going to Feng Hongbing's house to bring a pot of tea, and when he said this, he simply didn't bother to run, "I only came back yesterday, and I ate and lived at someone else's house, and the fire didn't start, not to mention tea, I didn't even have hot water, so I could only slack off." ”

The branch secretary suddenly choked, he was another son in the village, not surnamed Feng, and he had often seen him before. When he was in elementary school, Feng Yiping had to pass by his door every time he went to school, and he had the impression that he was a little timid and not very good at talking, why did he speak so much now?

However, Feng Yiping said this, even if he has an opinion, it is not easy to have a seizure, the adult is not at home, he is worried about a child, and he doesn't care about what he says. The women's director saw the opportunity quickly, and went to Feng Weidong's house next door to bring a pot of tea, and took a few cups by the way.

I heard that the branch secretary was here, and Feng Weidong also came over and sat on the side.

The branch secretary has nothing else to do, but to collect and hand it over. The village accountant took the abacus and pulled it on the table for a while, and handed Feng Yiping a note, "Your family's public grain discount and three mentions and five unifications this year, plus other miscellaneous expenses, a total of 383.6. ”

Feng Yiping took the note, to be honest, it was the first time he came into contact with these, and he was very interested in the entries above, so he looked down one by one.

Feng Weidong saluted a circle of cigarettes and said, "My uncle and aunt are not at home, it's useless for you to come here now, Yiping is still a child, and he can't do such a thing." ”

The branch secretary swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, and put Feng Weidongjing's cigarette on his ear, "Don't you know, your brother has worked hard in less than a year, writing and writing, and he easily earned nearly 10,000 yuan, and he can't be the master of these hundreds of yuan?"

Feng Yiping's affairs Feng Weidong of course knows, no matter what his attitude is in private, he must support him at this time, "That's not the case, Yiping writes to make money is his ability, if there are more such students in the village, we all have a light on our faces, isn't it? Even when the days were hard a few years ago, they didn't owe money to the village, and now that life is better, they won't owe this money, don't worry. ”

The branch secretary didn't know what was going on today, it seemed that he had drunk wine at a house early in the morning, and he knew that Feng Zhenchang would be able to come back during the autumn harvest, but he didn't, and said to himself, "I know I can't owe it, but if I can pay it now, why do I have to delay it until the second half of the year?"

Although Feng Weidong is a temporary worker, he works in the county winery, he thinks he has seen the world, has an income, is also a figure in the village, and also talks about face, he has helped to say good things like this, and the branch secretary is still going to collect the money today, he is also a little annoyed, "The villagers in the township, there are some things that everyone knows, and there are many people who have paid the money until the end of the year, if you take advantage of the fact that the adults are not at home and come to find the children, then you can watch it!"

This sentence is a bit hard, for these cadres in the village, not many people like it, all year round, they don't do anything, they just know how to collect money.

There are two main types of money collected, one is to collect and hand over, and the other is to collect family planning fines. In the first half of last year, because of the family planning fine, they almost ripped off a family's house, but Feng Zhenchang and they came out to stop it.

Collect and hand over, these two years have been fine, and in previous years it was also very powerful, if you don't have money, you will take food, if the food is not enough, the pigs in the pen will be taken away for you.

If it had been before last year, Feng Weidong would have helped to say two words at most, but this year is different, Feng Zhenchang and they can make money now, not to mention, they all feel that Feng Yiping will have a future in the future. Although Feng Yiping is still several years away from being admitted to university, it is not certain whether he can be admitted to university in the future, but what he is doing now is more glorious than being admitted to university.

In the countryside, because the general level of education is not high, but the fear of educated people, Feng Yiping is such a wonder, not to mention that it is rare in the village and the county.

So at this time, in the face of such a thing, Feng Weidong of course has to defend Feng Yiping.

The branch secretary has been sitting in this seat for more than ten years, and it is the first time he has encountered such a situation. Knowing that Feng Yiping was home alone, he thought that he would pinch it with a handle in his hand, Feng Weidong helped to say a few words at most, but he didn't expect that he Feng Yiping didn't seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp, not to mention, Feng Weidong was still standing firmly opposite.

Of course, he knows the situation in the courtyard, although he is poor, but externally, he is still very united, and what he did today really can't stand scrutiny. Knowing these things, those who are anxious, such as Dongming, may point at him and scold him in person. Thinking of this, he was also half awake from the wine, but he couldn't find the bottom of the steps, and he had nothing to say for a while.

The village accountant is surnamed Feng, and he wants to call Uncle Feng Yiping according to his seniority, so he came out to play a round at this time, "Come here today, mainly to notify me, and I didn't say that I must collect money today, the note is in your hand, uncle, you notify the adult, just have a score in your heart." ”

Feng Yiping really didn't care about this controversy, he was completely attracted by the content of the strip. Now all the payments are made by the accountant, and in a few years, in order to supervise the fees, it seems that there is another small book of "Supervision Form for Peasants' Burdens", which lists the fees that should be paid.

On this slip, the first item is the discount of public grain, his family has to pay more than 400 catties of public grain, the village has long stopped collecting grain, directly converted into money, according to this year's unified purchase price, two cents more than one catty, this is nearly 120 yuan.

Next is the three retention of the village, including the provident fund, the public welfare fund and the management fee, as well as the five co-ordination of the township, including education surcharge, family planning, preferential care, militia training, road repair and other public welfare undertakings.

Next, there are ten jobs that each family has to pay every year, which are also converted into money. In addition, one person is charged five yuan per person, and there are slaughter fees, etc., on average, more than 60 per person. Feng Yiping's family of four people adds up to more than 260 yuan, which is definitely not a small number at the current income level.

It was the first time Feng Yiping knew that peasants also paid provident funds! This should be a proper noun, and it should be levied for the purpose of solving the housing problem for urban workers.

There is also the Community Chest, since he can remember, he really hasn't seen a single welfare in the village.

There is also an education surcharge and road repair, and there have been no roads in the township for several years, and no new schools have been built, so what are all the money for? There is also militia training, when have you seen militia training all these years?

There is also a slaughtering fee, every time you kill a pig, don't you have to pay five yuan, why do you collect it here?

After he finished reading it, he raised these questions in front of him, children, and advantages, to put it bluntly, you adults are not easy to care, right?

After listening to his words, the branch secretary still didn't speak, and the accountant couldn't understand, and the women's director said, "Uncle, you put away the strips, let's go first today, and we have to go to other homes!"

When the village cadres left, Feng Weidong asked him to go to his house for lunch, and Feng Yiping first folded the strip carefully, sandwiched it in the household registration book, and put it away carefully.

He decided that this strip must be preserved, and it will be a cultural relic in the future.

Compared with the people who live in the towns, the comrades in the vast rural areas now really seem to be raised by their stepmothers. The biggest thing the state has done for us is that every household has been given a piece of land, no, not a piece of land, but only a peasant with the right to contract a piece of land, and there is also a term of service.

Of course, the contracted peasants have to pay taxes to the state, and the various taxes set by the state should certainly be relatively low, but in a closed and impoverished place like Feng Yiping's, the peasants must pay at least 30 percent of their total income in a year.

In addition, chemical fertilizers and pesticides, calling people to help when planting rice and cutting grain, all kinds of expenses are calculated, not counting the labor cost of the farmers themselves, and they work hard for more than 300 days a year, and they must be at a loss.

At the end of the year, thousands of catties of grain will be left behind, mixed with food and clothing.

But what can be done? What other options do the peasants have now? What can they do without farming? I don't want to work in the future, and there are still very few opportunities to work now.

It seems that at the beginning of the next century, there will finally be a grassroots cadre, who is a township secretary -- this is also a big official for the peasants, who directly wrote to the prime minister, bluntly saying that "the peasants are really miserable, and the countryside is really poor." ”

After that, the state began to investigate, but it will take more than ten years to wait until the agricultural tax is fully abolished.
