Chapter 0055: The Undercurrent Begins to Move

After New Year's Day, the three vegetables grown in the greenhouse of Kang Mingsong's house were completely unproductive.

So, after sending off the Yuan family, Kang Mingsong's family of three, as well as the second sister Kang Minghui, pulled out the plants that had begun to wither and planted newly bred seedlings.

The greenhouses are still planted with these three kinds of vegetables, one is that the locals like these three kinds of vegetables, and the other is that after two plantings, Kang Mingsong's family has a certain experience in the planting of these three vegetables.

Of course, the vegetables in the greenhouse have entered the intermittent period of the change of seasons, which does not mean that Kang Mingsong's family will not provide vegetables to Wen Yanran's Liuxian Pavilion for the time being.

In fact, during this time, they provided more vegetables to Liuxian Pavilion. It's just that these vegetables are not out-of-season vegetables planted in greenhouses, but some seasonal vegetables, such as Chinese cabbage, white radish, children's cabbage, pea tips, etc.

However, although the price of these vegetables is higher than the same kind of vegetables on the market, but not much, after all, they are all popular vegetables, although they have been cultivated by super breeders, and the taste is better than ordinary vegetables of the same species, but no matter what, their own varieties have been limited there.

For example, Chinese cabbage and white radish, the wholesale price is a piece of five pounds, and the price of children's vegetables and pea tips is slightly higher, children's vegetables reach two yuan, pea tips are the most expensive, three yuan a catty, but this thing is not weighed, a large frame is only twenty or thirty pounds, and it can't be sold for a few dollars.

But fortunately, the small amount adds up, and the total price of the dishes that Liuxian Pavilion buys from Kang Mingsong's house every day is still more than 1,000 yuan. Although it can't be compared with the income when there were three kinds of greenhouse vegetables before, it is still a lot of income for ordinary people.

After the big cold wave around New Year's Day, the temperature in the southeast of Jiangyu City has risen, taking the mountain villages as an example, the temperature has basically remained above 0 degrees. Even the rime on Qianhui Mountain has disappeared during this time.

However, on a sunny morning, the water surface of the river or paddy field pond will still freeze.

Although the temperature of the outside world has changed, it has little effect on the three vegetables grown in the greenhouse, after all, the temperature inside is artificially controlled.

But as time passed, the time entered the middle of January, that is, after the wax moon of the lunar calendar, the coldest season of the year finally came.

At this time, the adjustment of the team of the backing township also began, and the new secretary took office, which was the person who came to the backing township with the Yuan family during the New Year's Day, according to Yuan Songlin, the new secretary is called Wang Weimin, a name with the characteristics of the times.

Although Kang Mingsong originally thought that the change of officials at the department level like this would not have any impact on ordinary people like him, when things really happened, Kang Mingsong found that things were not so simple.

Not long after the secretary of Weimin took office, news came out in the village, saying that the secretary for the people was very dissatisfied with the branch secretary of the backing village.

It turned out that someone went to the township to report that the current secretary of the village branch of the village was Xiu Chengbing, and that he had major problems in the economy. After investigation, the secretary of the people found that the report was not false, but true.

It is said that the secretary of the people instructed the staff member of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the backing township to interview Xiu Chengbing, but the results were not satisfactory.

For a while, there was a feeling that the mountain village was about to come with wind and rain.

………………

In this regard, Cummingsong was not too surprised.

The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, the new leader will always take office with a lot of personnel changes. In fact, the first to bear the brunt is not the village community level, but the township. However, it was a little far away from Cummingsong, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.

However, at the village level, whether he wants to or not, he will more or less come into contact with some. After all, he is also a party member and a member of the party branch of the backing community.

Of course, the reason why the matter is so vivid is that this year, when the two committees of the backing village are re-elected, those who are interested in competing for the secretary of the branch and the director of the neighborhood committee have already begun to take action.

As a village composed of several big surnames, every time the two committees are changed, there will inevitably be very fierce competition.

And this kind of competition occurs most often between the surnames Kang and Xiu, because the influence of these two surnames in the backing villages far exceeds that of other surnames.

There are nearly 4,000 people in the entire village, and the population of Kang and Xiu is more than 1,000, of which the Xiu surname is mainly distributed in the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 6th groups, and a small number in the 2nd, 4th and other groups. The distribution of the surname Kang is more concentrated, and in the three resident groups of the eight, nine and ten groups, almost all of them are people with the surname Kang.

In the last election of the two committees, the strategy of the person surnamed Kang made a major mistake, not only missed the branch secretary, but also missed the subsequent election of the director of the neighborhood committee.

Now that they are facing a change of office again, the Kang family is naturally sharpening their knives and wanting to do a big job, and they will be ashamed.

For such a thing, Cummingsong felt a little annoyed. After all, there are clansmen on one side and relatives on the other, and the palms and backs of the hands are really meat.

At the time of the election three years ago, Mr. Kang's organizational ties had not yet shifted back to the village, so he could watch the fire from afar as an outsider. But now that he has returned to the village, it is impossible to avoid it again.

No, although there is still almost half a year before the general election of the branch, everyone has already started their activities in private.

Fortunately, everyone is still just beating the side drum and blowing the wind, and it is far from the time when the bayonets are red.

Originating from ancient times, Laba Festival is a sacrificial ritual used by the ancestors of the Central Plains to worship ancestors and gods, praying for a good harvest and good fortune.

According to the record of "Ritual Records: Suburban Special Sacrifice", the wax sacrifice is "the twelfth month of the year, gathering all things and asking for food." ”

The Xia Dynasty called the wax day "Jiaping", the Shang Dynasty called it "Qing Ceremony", and the Zhou Dynasty called it "Big Wax"; because it was held in December, it was called the month of Wax, and the day of the Wax Festival was called the Wax Day.

After years of changes, the period of "Laba" is constantly changing, and after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it is fixed on the eighth day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar every year, called "Laba".

Over the years, Laba Festival has become an important representative of traditional Chinese folk customs, and the descendants of Yan and Huang from the south to the north express their wishes for a better life in various ways on this day.

Originally, this festival was not paid much attention in the Guxing area, after all, there is a big difference between the customs and habits of the ethnic minorities here and the Central Plains civilization.

While the Kang family and the Xiu family moved from outside to the backing village, they also brought in traditional customs, and the Laba Festival became a more solemn festival in the backing village.

On this day every year, every household in the entire mountain village will boil Laba porridge and prepare various sacrificial supplies, and from this day, the village begins to enter the countdown to prepare for the Spring Festival.
