I remembered that when I went to the county for a meeting a few days ago, the secretary of the county party committee personally presided over the meeting, and everyone also made a military order, and the secretary said that this was to learn from the advanced style of the city, and they also made a military order in front of the city party committee, which is bound to increase this year's output tenfold.

Chen Haitao twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and he thought, "How can it be ten times bigger, can that land become ten times bigger by itself, even if there is ten times more land, they don't have enough manpower." ”

But where did he think that a few people, including him, were all in order to pat the leader's sycophants, and the output reported by each team was higher than that of the team, and someone actually patted his chest and promised to produce 20,000 catties per mu this year. Listening to these inflated target yields per mu, he almost didn't choke on his own saliva. How is this possible, when his team had the best results, he only produced 500 catties per mu, and that year he went to the county to get a safflower. The yield of 20,000 catties per mu is simply to blow the cowhide to the sky. When it was his turn to come to the stage to forecast the output, he began to stand up, if he reported according to the truth, reported a 500 catties, it is estimated that he will have to leave the class as the captain, if the report is inflated, then the harvest will not be so much Isn't it a slap in the face?

Chen Haitao, the captain of the Chen Brigade who was not shocked in the past, looked at the county leaders sitting in the first row, and couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, and there was silence below, as if he was waiting for him to report his expected output, which made him even more nervous, and he finally opened his mouth after being silent for a long time,

"Our team still reported last year's number, 400 pounds. ”

The secretary of the county party committee sitting at the bottom stretched his face when he heard it, didn't he not give him face?

"Which town or village is this, what's the matter with you, everyone has tens of thousands of reports, you can report hundreds, why don't you have any ambition as a comrade, how bold a person is, how productive the land can be. ”

But Captain Chen is not a smart person, he will only seek truth from facts, he will definitely do everything he can do, this is impossible at all, if he wants to say yes with his conscience, he can't,

"With the same land area and manpower, how can it be so much increased. ”

When the secretary of the county party committee heard that this person didn't know what to do, he slapped it on the table in front of him angrily, and said angrily,

"As I said just now, this year we will intensively cultivate, add plant ash, shorten the spacing between plants, and increase the number of rice seedlings, haven't you heard? If the output of your village does not reach 10,000 catties this year, then you, the captain, will not do it. ”

Graphite Village

"Hey~"

Captain Chen squatted on the ridge, looked at the almost dry paddy fields in the field, sighed heavily, and took a hard breath of the dry tobacco in his hand, choking tears came out.

The county clearly instructed that in order to increase the yield, it is necessary to burn more grass and wood ash and dig deep pits for top dressing.

"But this also has to God to save face, if it doesn't rain, no matter how much grass and wood ash you chase, it's in vain. Captain Chen muttered to himself, but think that since the indicators came down, there were often leaders who came to inspect, and he had to do it.

Chen had no choice but to organize the whole production team and assign tasks to them, some were responsible for going to Huaxi to fetch water and water, some were responsible for cutting grass and cutting wood and burning grass and ashes in the forests of the back mountains, and some were responsible for digging pits and scattering ashes.

Every day, the Red Revolution song was played on the loudspeaker, and the people in Graphite Village were busy like a grinding plate. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, but there is no rain for a long time, and the water in Huaxi is getting less and less, everyone has to get up early to start farming, and now is the season when everything grows wildly, and everyone realizes that they must work every minute and every second.

Parents are busy growing food on the one hand, and on the other hand, they naturally can't take care of the big and small things at home, and many children who are in school are called back to help with things. There are also some children who participate in the elimination of the four pests, hunting sparrows and catching voles everywhere in the field, and most of them are actually very simple to open meat and satisfy their cravings.

At the beginning of the school, the students were also given an extended time for extracurricular work, participating in digging pits, picking fertilizer, spreading ash, weeding and other farm work, but later, fewer and fewer children came to school, and the classrooms became more and more empty. The whole classroom was empty, with only fields and food for the torture.

Tian Ye leaned back against the table behind him, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at Xing Youliang with a look of what are you still doing here, Xing Youliang ignored him, just raised his hand and looked at the basin teacher in front of him,

"Teacher, my family doesn't have a field, and I don't want to get rid of the four evils. ”

Teacher Peng walked up to him, looked at him and asked,

"And what do you want to do?"

"Teacher, I want to go back to school. ”

The idea of having food made Mr. Peng a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do, but promised that he would give the principal a reaction.

Seeing that the punishment was a little depressed, Tian Ye smiled,

"What kind of books to read, how nice it would be for us to go out together. ”

As he spoke, Tian Ye pulled the punishment grain and walked out,

"Where are you pulling me up?"

Xing Youliang got rid of the other party's hand and stopped.

"The weather is so good, of course it's to go to the back mountain. ”

Xing Youqian looked at the young master in front of him who was addicted to spring outings and was a little speechless, feeling that he was too ignorant of the difficulties of life.

"Field, do you say that you don't like to read or work all day?"

"It's boring, but do I need it?"

Xing Youliang suddenly had nothing to say, indeed, their family conditions are so good, they really have everything without doing anything, but is this a reason for wasting time, of course not, so now it has become Xing Youliang pulling the field outside, making the field confused,

"Hey, hey, where are you going to pull me. “

Xing Youliang didn't speak, but pulled him to the ground, holding a big shovel in his left hand and a dustpan in his right hand, and asked Tian Yedao:

"Field, are you going to dig a pit, or are you going to scatter ashes?"

Tian Ye glanced at the shovel and dustpan that were taller than him in Tian Ye's hand, and smiled coldly,

"I don't want it, it's dirty and tired. ”

This arrogant official second generation put his hands in his trouser pockets, and walked along the ridge towards the direction of Qingfeng Valley, the fields along the way were full of people, there were young adults, and even old people and children, they were either bent over to hoe in the field, or they were carrying buckets of water on their shoulders, the closer to the flower stream, the more people there were, the people by the river took buckets of water to the river bucket by bucket, some of them bent their waists for a long time and kept beating their backs with their hands, and some of them carried the water step by step towards the direction of the field, and when they arrived, they were already sweating profusely, and wiped the sweat on their faces with the rags on their shoulders。

Slowly, a trace of pity appeared on the young master's face, looking at the dark skin on the faces of the old and young in front of him, the thick calluses on his hands, and the shabby clothes on his body, the people here live a completely different life from the people in the city.

Although he had a relation, it was nothing more, after all, he would never be able to live such a life, Tian Ye thought like this and continued to walk towards Qingfeng Valley.
