After receiving the order, He Shengnan directly left the Railway Bureau and transferred to the People's Bank of China to become a teller.

Her departure vacated her position as a broadcaster.

Sister Wang decided to let Qi Shufang be a broadcaster, for a very good reason, she was an advanced worker last year, and her language was relatively clear, and she was three months pregnant, and she worked too hard in the restaurant, so she should be taken care of by her colleagues.

Married flight attendants who have children are either older, such as Sister Wang, Chen Xiaoping, etc., and their children are not young, or they are taken care of by nannies, or they go to school, and the younger married flight attendants are not pregnant now, and the children they give birth to are either in nursery schools, or taken care of by family members and nannies, and unmarried young women have no fertility problems.

In other words, on this train, Qi Shufang is a young, married and pregnant flight attendant.

Therefore, everyone has no objection to Sister Wang's decision.

After changing positions, the work was indeed lightened a lot.

Qi Shufang feels that she is lucky, although she still needs to clean the train before departure and after arriving at the station like everyone else, but in a separate broadcast room, after broadcasting the content that should be broadcast, she can use the rest of the time to read books and write, unlike the restaurant waiter who has to come to the restaurant to serve as long as there are passengers who come to the restaurant to eat, and have to shuttle to the sleeper car to deliver food to the cadres, and after the meal is delivered, she has to help wash the dishes.

I had been worried that Qi Shufang's work was too tiring, but now He Jianguo is finally relieved.

Because many of her colleagues are married and have children, when chatting, Qi Shufang began to worry about how to balance family and work after hearing about their child-rearing situation.

It is impossible for her to give up her job for the sake of her children, and likewise, she cannot neglect her children for the sake of work.

March passed in a flash, and in a blink of an eye, it was April, Shen Yaowu's production period was approaching, and at the beginning of the month, he paid his salary and various tickets, Qi Shufang first snapped up the sugar, eggs and other things, together with Ye Cuicui and a few colleagues who specially left it for her at the end of this month and last month, and bought twenty-five catties of eggs and fifteen catties of edible sugar, so that He Jianguo could give Shen Yaowu when he went back to his hometown to visit his father-in-law alone.

Seeing that Shen Yaowu was about to give birth, Shen Er's grandfather and Zhao Tiezhu were worried about the lack of nutrition in her confinement, and the chickens at home laid only a few eggs a month, and they asked her for help without waiting for Qi Shufang to mention that she had entrusted her to a friend, and the money was given by them.

Qi Shufang was good to them, and they didn't take it for granted.

Eggs are six cents a catty, edible sugar is seven cents and five pounds, the two things add up to a total of twenty-six yuan and two cents, Shen Er's grandfather gave thirty yuan, and when He Jianguo sent something, he returned three yuan and seven cents.

He Jianguo raised his salary, and this month's wages and allowances for him and Qi Shufang added up to nearly one hundred and twenty yuan, because there were more than one hundred left in his hands before, and Ye Cuicui and Yun Bai both repaid the borrowed money, so the salary paid last month was not used much, so Qi Shufang left a small amount and planned to deposit two hundred yuan in the bank.

He Jianguo opened a passbook in her name, and he saved 300 yuan when he opened an account.

At present, only the People's Bank of China can handle savings business, and several other banks are at a standstill.

Recently, except for buying some silk cotton for the child to make a quilt, there is no big expenditure, and in the case of not buying industrial products, at current prices, she and He Jianguo spend less than 30 yuan a month.

Moreover, even if you save these two hundred, you still have more than 100 left in your hand, which is enough for several months' expenses.

Carrying the passbook and leaving the house, when she was about to arrive at the bank, Qi Shufang suddenly saw Chen Ning sneaking and hiding.

Chen Ning privately sold his grandmother's dowry to his father for treatment, and later came to sell silk to Qi Shufang, and gave a gift when he moved away, and then later, his father recovered, and personally went to He's house to thank him, the two families gradually became acquainted, and when it came to gossip, He Jianguo and Qi Shufang learned that Grandpa Chen was actually Chen Sanchuan's cousin!

Although He Jianguo and Qi Shufang did not help for free, but because they bought those things without bargaining, and concealed Chen Ning's things from the police who were tracking Chen Ning, it was equivalent to saving the lives of Chen's father and Chen Ning, and saving the entire Chen family.

"Chen Ning!" Qi Shufang shouted.

Chen Ning turned his head to see her, and trotted to him, sweating slightly on his face, "Sister Shufang." ”

"It's me. What are you doing? In broad daylight, people will see you and be suspicious of you. ”

Chen Ning scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I want to find the black market, but now I am strictly investigating, the location of the black market is always changing, I have been looking for two days, and I haven't found it yet." ”

"Don't have enough food to eat?" The Chen family currently has four people, no one has found a job, even if it is a dung digger, there are many people who want to do it, once they have this job, there will be a salary, and the amount of grain will increase, even if it only increases by seven or eight catties of grain, it is stronger than the average urban resident who has 21 catties a month.

Qi Shufang has to eat one pound of grain a day when she has all kinds of non-staple foods, and those who don't have non-staple foods to fill their stomachs and increase nutrition are not enough to eat fifty catties of grain for a month, let alone only twenty-one catties.

You can't live on the supply alone, you need money to buy food, and those who don't work don't have a salary.

Chen Ning's family has always been eating the old book, and later asked Qi Shufang to sell a set of jewelry.

Chen Ning whispered: "Half hungry and half full, what is enough to eat is not enough to eat, just barely living." I was looking for a black market for my friend to sell food and buy food, and his family was in a similar situation to mine. No, his family's situation is worse than mine, his home has been raided to the bottom, and now he can't eat, and the situation is quite dangerous, and some people have been staring at their house, thinking that their furniture is hidden. His house did have something hidden, but he was constantly being watched, and he didn't dare to go to the bank to sell some gold and silver. ”

As he spoke, Chen Ning's eyes lit up, he looked at Qi Shufang directly, and said flatteringly: "Sister Shufang......"

"Stop, what are you doing with this attitude?" Qi Shufang almost expected it, she was happy to buy the old things accumulated by big families, knowing that it would be a fool not to buy them if they appreciated in the future, but she still pretended not to care.

"Sister Shufang, how about you please help my friend sell some gold and silver? Go to the bank to sell it, don't worry about being depressed by the black market. Sister Shufang, you and Brother He have good ingredients, you can pass the test by making up a reason, unlike us who have poor ingredients to sell, it will definitely cause trouble. Chen Ning understands that there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and it is not that he can't find someone who can't help him sell things at the bank, but he doesn't trust it, if someone takes something and sells him back, the gains outweigh the losses, and the one who can be trusted at present is He Jianguo and his wife, who have traded privately.

Qi Shufang said funny: "If I don't help, what are you going to do?"

Chen Ning said: "Continue to look for buyers who are willing to buy in the black market! Gold is hard currency, unlike jewelry, jade, porcelain, and antiques, and many black market buyers are willing to buy them at a low price, and then sell them to the bank to earn the difference." "The state really cracks down on buying and selling, and it can't bear everyone's audacity and does it secretly, otherwise there will be no black market.

"Only sell gold and silver?" Qi Shufang is more fond of jewelry and antiques than gold and silver, and she can pay for it to be bought for future appreciation.

Of course, gold is also good.

In the decade from the 70s to the early 80s, the price of gold rose more than ten times.

In the seventies and eighties, there was no inflation, and the difference between ten dollars in the seventies and ten dollars in the early eighties was not that big, and hoarding gold and selling it when the price of gold was high was not a bad investment.

She has always been on the lookout for strange things, and now that she has children, she hopes to create a good living condition for them.

Chen Ning remembered the first time he sold something to Qi Shufang, and he said with a smile as he knew more about his friend's family situation: "There are other things, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to sell, so I don't dare to mention it." If my sister is willing to buy it, I will send it to my sister's house. His family used to be a big family in Beijing, and his hands were full of old things, if he wasn't desperate, who would want to sell them?"

His own family was the same, he had to sell old things to make ends meet, and Chen Ning was sad for a while.

"How much is a pound of high-priced grain now?" Qi Shufang changed the topic and asked.

Chen Ning often goes in and out of the black market, and is very clear about this aspect, and answers honestly: "In autumn and winter, cornmeal costs five cents a catty, and sorghum flour and sweet potato noodles cost three cents a catty, which is about five times higher than that in the grain store. Now that the time is approaching, and the farmers have no grain to sell, I estimate that the price will have to double. It's much cheaper than before, and now it's two cents a pound of food stamps, and my father said that eleven or twelve years ago, a pound of food stamps cost four or five yuan! Not to mention grain, it's so expensive. ”

Eleven or twelve years ago, it was a time of famine, and it cannot be compared with the present.

No matter how scarce the materials are, they are only not well fed and clothed, and there is no scene of starvation all over the wilderness.

Qi Shufang thought for a while and agreed to Chen Ning's previous request, "You can bring the things you sell to me first, and if I like them, I can keep them for myself." ”

Chen Ning thanked him quickly, and the next day he openly carried a small package to the gate of the He family.

Not with the friend he said, He Jianguo was not at home, Qi Shufang entertained him alone, after deciding to buy something yesterday, she did not go to the bank to deposit the two hundred yuan, but returned home directly.

The interest on banknotes deposited in the bank is far less high than the interest on hoarding gold and silver.

Chen Ning brought two small yellow croakers, a bag of eagles, a pair of white jade lion head paperweights and two green jade bracelets.

Qi Shufang was pleasantly surprised.

The kind of jadeite is precious to the glass species, the color of the jadeite is respected by green, especially the rich and gorgeous imperial green, the jadeite bracelet in front of you has both, there are no cracks and impurities, the water head is full, far from the jadeite in their hands is comparable, and the white jade paperweight is the same, it is a thing that flows out of the Qing Palace, and it is worth a total of one hundred yuan.

If the gold bar and silver dollar are taken to the bank for exchange, a small yellow croaker with a belly size can be sold for a hundred, and the silver dollar is the same as before, Chen Ning's friend may want to give Qi Shufang a little benefit, so he only charges eighty percent of the price of gold and silver through Chen Ning's mouth.

Qi Shufang first paid the money for the paperweight and bracelet, and then paid one hundred and sixty yuan for the little yellow fish, "I have no money in my hand, this silver dollar will be given to you when I go to the bank to exchange it, okay?"

She had observed that none of these eagles were of much collector's value.

"Okay!" Chen Ning collected two hundred and sixty yuan first, "Sister, when will you redeem the hundred eagle oceans give it to me, with this money, it will be enough for my friend's family to tide over the difficulties for the time being." ”

Because of his previous friendship, Chen Ning trusted Qi Shufang very much, and he was not afraid that she would not give it.

"What's the problem with your friend and he needs so much money?"

"Whew! There's nothing you can't say. His grandfather was sent to a very remote and poor place to participate in labor reform, and his family composition was not good, and he suffered a lot, so he couldn't help but write a letter home. He and his parents decided to sell some of the things they kept, one was to save some money for the family, but they wanted to buy an imported Swiss watch, let my friend hand it over to his grandfather, and quietly give it to the local branch secretary, because the branch secretary especially wanted to have a watch of his own, but he couldn't get a watch ticket. ”

Qi Shufang was dumbfounded: "The local party secretary will collect it, but don't accept it, and bite back again." ”

The human heart is unpredictable, and it is not impossible to do so.

Chen Ning felt that it made sense, "I'll remind my friend in a moment." However, if the branch secretary does not want people to know that he has accepted bribes, then it is unlikely that he will make a statement. My friend's grandfather said in the letter that after his observation, a decentralized educated youth secretly stuffed the branch secretary with a radio ticket, and the branch secretary looked at the educated youth differently and arranged the work very easily. ”

"If that's the case, it's much more likely that the secretary will be bought. "A watch is much more expensive than a radio ticket, and you have to pay for it yourself to get the cashier ticket, and the watch is directly in hand and does not cost a penny.

After moving to the city and settling down, Qi Shufang dug up the things buried in the deep mountains and old forests and took them with her, hid them on the roof beams, and after discussing with He Jianguo, she picked out the silver dollars that had little collection value, and saved them together with Chen Ning, and exchanged more than 200 yuan at the bank in Gupeng City and the bank in Shanghai respectively, and gave Chen Ning eighty.

Who knew that Chen Ning confiscated it, and in turn gave her one hundred and two, and asked her to buy a piece of Inage in the Shanghai Department Store.

Not long after, Chen Ning sued her, and it was done.

His friend's grandfather successfully got out of the sea of suffering, although he still needs to work, but it is much easier than before, after the branch secretary quietly collected the watch, let him write a confession of repentance or something, criticism, fighting and abuse have disappeared.

No matter what time it is, money can make the devil grind.

Chen Ning tasted the sweetness, painted a scoop according to the gourd, sold two small yellow croakers to Qi Shufang, and then bought two hundred catties of food stamps for fifty yuan in the black market, and gave them to the people recruited by the printing house.

Just when Qi Shufang thought that it would be difficult to buy jewelry and antiques from Chen Ning, he suddenly came to the door and sold things for his other friends.

These are things in the future, and the current Qi Shufang didn't expect it at all.

Shen Yaowu gave birth to a son on April 16, named Shen Tianlong, nicknamed Rotten Egg, Shen Second Grandfather and Zhao Tiezhu cried with joy, although they didn't do much because every family was having a hard time, but they were very willing to spend money for Shen Yaowu's mother and son, sugar water egg noodles, three meals a day for Shen Yaowu to eat.

Qi Shufang was four months pregnant, and she was very stable, and returned to her hometown accompanied by He Jianguo.

She was very careful, she didn't take a bicycle, and she didn't take the only bus between the city and the countryside, the road was uneven, for fear of bumps on the way, so the couple walked home, and took a break when they were tired.

When he returned to the He Lou brigade, he didn't go home first, and went directly to Shen Yaowu's house.

Shen Tianlong ate happy noodles eight days after he was born, the day before yesterday, Qi Shufang couldn't come in person, and the contacts between the He family and the Shen family did not reach this point, after all, unless they are very close relatives, they will not go to other people's houses to eat happy noodles, so Shen's second grandfather's family only invited their own family and a few closer relatives.

Second Grandpa Shen and Zhao Tiezhu accompanied He Jianguo to talk outside, while Shen Yaowu went directly into the bedroom.

Shen Yaowu was very happy to see her, "Shufang, you're here!"

"Come and see you and the little rotten bastard, I see you're all white. Qi Shufang walked to the bedside, it has been ten days, and it has not fully grown, but her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Shen Yaowu, "It looks like you!"

Shen Yaowu was radiant, "Thanks to the things you helped buy, eat so much, can I not gain weight?"

"It is said that confinement is very important, your grandfather and your partner love you so much, you have to sit in peace for a month, but don't care about your body because others don't confinement. "The physique of Chinese people cannot be said to be confinement, but if they do not have confinement, it is indeed easy to cause various confinement diseases after middle age.

Qi Shufang is very concerned about her health, she has thought about all the miscellaneous books she has read, and asked experienced colleagues for advice, you should be confined when you have a child, and you must have a good confinement.

Li Hanwei once said that she didn't pay attention to the confinement when she gave birth to her first child, her fingers touched the cold water, and her knuckles would hurt every rainy day. She also said that her aunt was in a difficult time when she gave birth, and now she fell ill before the age of 40.

After listening to this, Shen Yaowu nodded heavily.

"I know La Shufang, my grandfather and Tie Zhu also said that there are too many sick people in the production team who have not sat in confinement, and I now wash my face and feet with warm boiling water, and I don't touch anything cold at all, and I don't blow the wind. ”

"That's good. Qi Shufang attaches great importance to her friends, and sincerely hopes that Shen Yaowu will be healthy.

Shen Yaowu had just given birth for ten days and needed to rest, Qi Shufang didn't sit for a long time before saying goodbye and going home, He Jianguo helped her walk on the road, paying special attention to the road, for fear that she would accidentally step on a foreign object and trip.

Qi Shufang laughed at him, he was too careful.

He Jianguo said seriously: "It's better to be careful than careless, and many accidents come from carelessness." ”

"Okay, I can't tell you, it's almost time to get to our house!"

Father He, Wang Chunling, Concubine Yu and others had already known the good news of Qi Shufang's pregnancy, and they were very happy for her, after all, He Jianguo's three brothers had no children, so as soon as He Jianguo and Qi Shufang came back, they immediately gathered at their house.

Father He was embarrassed to ask, but Wang Chunling and Zhang Cuihua had no scruples, shh

Wang Chunling and Zhang Cuihua talked about raising more chickens this year, and saving more eggs for her confinement when she was born. Father He didn't need He Jianguo to remind him at all, when someone came to sell chickens, ducklings and geese, he bought dozens of them and raised them in the yard.

Qi Shufang hadn't come back for almost three months, and she felt affectionate when she saw her two sisters-in-law, remembering what He Jianguo said when she came back from inspecting the river workers, and hurriedly asked Zhang Cuihua if her face was scratched by Shen Lingling, even if He Jianguo had already conveyed his greetings to her when he went home earlier, he should greet her again now.

"The third child asked when I came here last month, why do you still ask? Didn't you tell you? Zhang Cuihua touched her face, the scar scabbed and fell off, and there was a faint red mark on her cheek, which was very shallow, because she had dark skin, and she couldn't see it if she didn't get close and looked closely, "Shen Lingling's stinky girl is really ruthless, but she didn't fall well." ”

Qi Shufang said: "Why is Shen Lingling getting worse and worse? I didn't offend her, I actually made it up, thank you sister-in-law and second sister-in-law for supporting me, and didn't let her continue to spread rumors." ”

She was very angry and resolutely supported He Jianguo's behavior of inquiring about the origin of that big brother Cheng.

was insulted by Shen Lingling to such an extent, if she didn't take revenge, she wouldn't be called Qi Shufang.

Zhang Cuihua waved her hand disapprovingly: "We are a family, what is it like for a family not to support a family?" Sandan was also angry for me and you, found a broken jar and made a bunch of and slipped quietly to Shen Erdan's house, and poured into the room where Shen Lingling lived from the window, and it happened that her bed was under the window, and she was drenched!"

Qi Shufang smiled and leaned back, "Why are the three eggs so naughty." ”

"If you want me to say, what kind of and poop is it? Splashing a basin of water on a cold day is enough for her to stand it, and it is better to keep her own fat field if she has that and urine. Wang Chunling felt sorry for that mess of, and it took several children to pull it out.

Qi Shufang said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I'll ask someone to get a dung ticket for Ming'er, and you and your second sister-in-law will go to the dung pipe to get a hundred and eighty catties." ”

Ou Mingxiang's uncle works in the dung pipe station, and if you look for him, you will definitely be able to get it.

The manure from the public toilets in the city is sent by the excrement diggers to the manure pipe office, and then the manure is distributed to the villages, and the little manure in the countryside alone is not enough to grow crops.

Of course, it is not gratuitous, it needs to be bought with money.

When Wang Chunling heard this, she clapped her hands and said: "That's good! This year's wheat is not growing very well, before the snow the production team raises manure from every household and scatters it in the wheat field, if the family plants their own land, the manure will not be enough, and the peanuts you gave last year, I plan to plant them in my own land this year." Fortunately, the manure was handed over to the production team to count the work, otherwise I would not have been willing to hand it over. ”

"Shufang, when did you ask Jianguo to ask Secretary Huo, why did some production teams get fertilizer, but our Helou brigade didn't? I heard that the crops sprinkled with fertilizer are growing well. Zhang Cuihua said.

Wang Chunling continued: "Yes, yes, yes, I heard that the fertilizer is called urea, and urea pockets can be used to make pants." ”

Zhang Cuihua nodded, "When I went to the commune to buy something, I saw someone wearing pants made of two urea pockets, but I was angry. I heard from the salesman of the supply and marketing cooperative, who is not a cadre of the production team, and can't wear such good pants!"

Qi Shufang was dumbfounded, fertilizer pockets made of pants?

Wang Chunling and Zhang Cuihua also had no intention of going into detail, and still asked about fertilizers.

Qi Shufang thought for a while and said, "I vaguely heard Jianguo say that chemical fertilizers are all imported, and the quantity is small, so they can't be distributed to us here." ”

The reason why the land of the Helou brigade is barren and not starving is that the mountainous area is suitable for growing potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, which are all crops with higher yields, and the output of wheat and rice is more than twice as much as that of other places, and even only one-third of the Qiji brigade.

"Really, just because the soil here is not good, we should be given good fat land to grow more crops!" Wang Chunling patted her knees with her big hand and sighed vigorously, very dissatisfied.

"The above decision is not something that the founding of the country can influence. Qi Shufang spread her hands.

Wang Chunling and Zhang Cuihua sighed, didn't they just want to harvest more crops when they were digging in the soil? Finally, they heard that crops sprinkled with urea could increase their income several times, but they couldn't take their turn.

Qi Shufang thought of the danger of chemical fertilizer, "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, chemical fertilizer is a chemical product, and the use of chemical fertilizer can indeed increase food production, but chemical fertilizer is not only beneficial. The food grown after using chemical fertilizer is harmful to the body, because the food absorbs the harmful substances of the chemical fertilizer in the fertilization, and then affects the internal structure, and as the food enters the human body, the human body will gradually decline. In my opinion, the healthiest food is grown from manure, and although it is easy to grow roundworms, it is not harmful. ”

Wang Chunling and Zhang Cuihua were dumbfounded, "Is there such a statement?

"There are pros and cons to everything, and the sisters-in-law just heard the pros. "In the future, in order to promote the use of chemical fertilizers and increase food production, no one will definitely mention the disadvantages of chemical fertilizers, and it is estimated that no one will think that it will take many years before anyone mentions food safety, which is related to chemical fertilizers and pesticides and food.

Qi Shufang thought about it, in the future, the land will be contracted to the household, and in the case of popularizing chemical fertilizers and pesticides, she must build a piece of land to grow crops and vegetables and fruits without chemical fertilizers and pesticides, so as to maintain good health.

The food supervision of the relevant state departments has not been in place, and the physique of the Chinese people has been weakening.

This is on record, now two river workers can lift thousands of eight hundred pounds of soil, decades later, two or three hundred pounds of things may not be able to lift, the popularization of agricultural mechanization, so that more farmers gradually weakened their strength.

She was born in the aftermath of the Great Catastrophe, when the countries of the world were basically stabilized, and a new regime and new procedures were established, but everywhere was still struggling to survive. Because this catastrophe lasted for nearly a hundred years, and it took more than 100 years for all living things to adapt to the new climate and gradually mutate, so the culture stagnated around 2050, and there was no particularly advanced level of technology enough to save all mankind, and the worst age for the human body was 50 years ago, which can be called powerless.

In fact, that catastrophe came from the chemical pollution in the decades that followed, environmental protection was not in place, and pollution caused a global disaster, and no one could escape.

However, nature is really amazing, giving humans a way out and a way to live.

The mutation of the human body is the survival of the desperate situation, and the mutation of animals and plants has made human beings understand that it is not too late to care for the environment.

Contamination of the soil comes from all chemical products, including fertilizers and pesticides.

She knows that the increase in the yield of chemical fertilizers has saved many people from starvation, but it is psychologically difficult to accept that this kind of ignorance is the result of good and bad, and the hidden dangers caused by chemical fertilizers and pesticides are really obvious! This does not include the later poisonous food. It is the general public who enjoy this type of food, accounting for 99 percent of the country's population.

It's a pity that Qi Shufang's thoughts can't be told to anyone, I'm afraid that even if someone listens to it, they won't think so, maybe they will feel that compared to hunger, what is the slight impact on the body?

At present, chemical fertilizers are all imported products, which are not popularized, and can be eaten with confidence, but what about in the future?

Qi Shufang is very worried, now that there are crops that have grown after watering chemical fertilizer, what should she do? What can she do to avoid eating food that has been fertilized? She really has no confidence in the country's food safety!

While she was thinking, the two sisters-in-law said in unison: "There really won't be pies in the sky! However, compared with the grain output, everything else is a trivial matter!"

Look, both sisters-in-law said so, which shows that it will be the true thoughts of many farmers in the future.

They were talking inside, and the father and son of the He family were outside, after talking about what had happened recently, He Jianguo also listened to his father and brother ask about the issue of fertilizer, and she said exactly the same thing as Qi Shufang about the distribution of fertilizer.

"None of us have eaten food grown with chemical fertilizers, and we don't know what the difference is, but the country attaches so much importance to chemical fertilizers, and the benefits must outweigh the disadvantages. He Jiandang thought for a long time and commented pertinently, "Now that there is a shortage of materials, food is the top priority in materials, as long as it can solve the problem of food and clothing for the people, it is the greatest benefit." ”

He Jianguo nodded, "When I meet Uncle Huo, ask what the standards are for fertilizer distribution." ”

As soon as the topic changed, he asked He Jiandang: "Big brother, have you ever thought about doing something practical to plan out the road of our production brigade? Didn't I just get promoted and raised? I think that doing practical things for the people is a good thing for both parties after all, and maybe in the future, when it comes to credit, big brother can go further." ”

"Why don't you want to? But look at us here, the mountains and rivers are poor, what can we do to make meritorious contributions?"

What man doesn't have the slightest ambition? Who doesn't want to go one step further? He Jiandang thinks that his cultural level is higher than that of the majority of people, but he is not as good as a few illiterate cadres in the commune.

He Jianjun said: "Third brother, you give the eldest brother an idea!"

He Jianguo thought for a while, "Plan the road!"

"Planning the road?" He Jiandang and He Jianjun said in unison, puzzled.

"I noticed that the path of our production team is tortuous, the land of each production team is also a piece of east and west, and the shape of the field is also varied, triangle shape, diamond-shaped, not good for farming, nine teams have eight teams of land, eight teams have six teams of land, seven teams have our nine teams of land, every time the farm is busy, all full of production team land is running around, far away and inconvenient. ”

He Jiandang explained: "Most of the land belongs to the landlords, and when the production team is divided, the division is rather chaotic. ”

So I said that it would be better to take the opportunity of planning the road and redivide the land. ”

"How to divide it?" He Jiandang humbly asked.

Father He and He Jianjun also stared at He Jianguo with burning eyes, in fact, they both felt that the land division was too chaotic now, and they often went to other production teams to work, which was too far away and very tiring.

He Jianguo said: "The division is simple, collect the land of the entire production team together, and then divide it according to the place where each production team occupies the most land. To put it simply, most of the land of our nine teams belongs to our nine teams, and the remaining few are eight teams, so this large area will be divided into our nine teams. Most of the land belongs to the eighth team, and it is divided into the eight teams according to the total number of acres of land of the eighth team, so that they do not suffer losses, and so on. When dividing, the eldest brother can directly divide the land into a boxy shape, re-ridge it, facilitate cultivation, straighten the winding path at the top of the field, and straighten the path in the production brigade. ”

He Jiandan's eyes sparkled, and his face was full of excitement.

"The path in the field is easy to say, after the land is divided and leveled, the road will be naturally straight, which is good for everyone, and reduces the amount of labor that everyone has to go around, and everyone must agree. However, the roads in the production brigade are not easy to manage. Take our two families as an example, the road at the door is straight, and the gate of our yard has to be moved back about one or two meters, although our house is a fence wall wooden door, it is easy to move, but the yard area has been reduced, and several families side by side with us are like this, not necessarily willing. Further east, there are also houses built directly on straight lines. ”

He Jianguo smiled: "Big brother, I didn't say that you should achieve your goal in a short time! I will build you, the acres of land can be counted early during the wheat harvest, and the next crop can be planted directly by dividing the ridges when the farm is busy." The roads between the homesteads in the production brigade can be adjusted slowly for an extended period of time. For example, if our two families move two meters back, then we will divide the homestead on the east and west sides to compensate. If the house is on the planned route, you can either move the homestead to the side of the road according to their opinions, or divide another homestead that is not on the planned route. ”

"What if they don't agree? Whether they move or divide the homestead, they all have to build another house, who has so much time and expense? It's better to live in a house before the plan, saving money and trouble. He Jiandang interrupted his younger brother's words, feeling that the construction behind him was not very useful, and he knew better the thoughts of the various members of his production team than He Jianguo.

He Jianjun couldn't help but say: "Big brother, didn't you hear the third child say that setting a planning time? This means that planning the road is not a short-term project, it takes a long time to work hard, you can mention this planning project yourself, draw up a plan, and hand it over to the next branch secretary before you leave office." I don't believe that this loess adobe thatched-roof house can be lived in for a lifetime! You first set the direction and width of the road according to the planned route, and drive piles on both sides to mark them, so that when each family rebuilds their houses and pulls yards in the future, they will avoid the planned road, and they will be compensated for their homestead anyway, and they will not suffer losses. ”

After speaking, he added: "Compensation is for their sake, even if they don't compensate, they can't do anything." Big brother, don't forget, this is not before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and all land now belongs to the state, even homesteads do not belong to private ownership. Planning roads to facilitate the members to travel, to facilitate the members to work, to reduce the labor burden of the members, in the future, to pull grain to the public grain, there is no need to detour, this is a good thing, what reason do they have not to agree? Not to mention that our family can set an example. ”

"Yes, eldest brother, I think the same thing as my second brother. The planning of acres is not late, which can really reduce the distance for everyone to run, and road planning can be carried out imperceptibly, which is not an overnight thing. ”

He Jiandan's mind was not as fast as his two younger brothers, but he was not stupid and quickly figured out the trick.

"yes, it works!" he laughed.

This matter is related to his own future, He Jiandang humbly asked He Jianguo for advice on various matters, and discussed with his father and brother how to count, how to integrate, how to plan, etc., He Jianjun is the accountant of the production team, how many acres of land the entire production team has, he knows how many acres of land each production team has, and he also has records.

They discussed it enthusiastically, and the three of them could hear it clearly in the room.

Qi Shufang smiled: "It's a really good idea, I've been dissatisfied with our zigzag path here for a long time, but no one has thought about this problem." In the future, under the leadership of the eldest brother, the road will be planned, and there will be no need to take many detours to go home, and it will be convenient for the members to pull and transport food, and it will also be convenient for ...... "If you want to get rich, you must build roads first, and it will be convenient for you to get rich in the future."

What woman doesn't want her husband's future to be better? This matter is really done, not to mention the production brigade, even the commune has to give He the party a credit, maybe it will be like the use of pulleys, and it will become the object of imitation in other places.

Wang Chunling smiled: "Thanks to the third child's quick brain, your eldest brother has been the party secretary for so many years, and he has never thought about this problem." ”

If the eldest brother is not the branch secretary, it is useless for Jianguo to put forward this opinion, and in the final analysis, this matter has to be carried out by the eldest brother. Qi Shufang said with a smile.

Zhang Cuihua immediately agreed: "Yes, so, sister-in-law, the biggest credit is the eldest brother." ”

This made Wang Chunling feel very comfortable.

So, when He Jianguo and Qi Shufang returned to the city, Wang Chunling did not hesitate to stuff them with a lot of wild vegetables that they had dug themselves and things that they had at home but did not have in the city.
