039. Borrow sweet potatoes

Lijia Village is more than six miles away from Longtou Village, and I don't know how Liu Meilan walked in the dark, after she sent back the sweet potatoes, she rushed back when the meal was served. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This year, because of the severe drought, there is not enough food for people, so how can there be anything for pigs? Many pig farms in the production team have not been opened. The members of the rural community celebrate the New Year, but they all rely on the bacon killed by the production team to celebrate the New Year.

The pig farm was closed, and there was naturally no bacon during the New Year.

The pigs of the leading production team are raised by sweet potato vines, so ten big fat pigs were still killed during the Spring Festival this year, and every household shared pork. When Lijia Village came, each household in Longtou Village gave out a pound of bacon and two pieces of tofu to entertain visitors from Lijia Village.

Smelling the aroma of meat that he hadn't eaten for a long time, Li Shixue, the captain of Lijia Village, sighed: "It's better for your leading production team, you can still have pork to eat, in our team, no one has anything to eat, and the pigs have long been sold to buy grain to eat." Alas, the same people don't have the same fate, and I don't know where to find food to eat in the spring. Boss Long, you won't ignore your little brother, will you?" said that, he secretly looked at Long Jiusheng.

Long Jiusheng knew that the food in their Lijia Village was indeed not enough to eat, so he sighed secretly and gave him a blank look: "When I harvested last summer, didn't I let you plant sweet potatoes? ”

Every time he talks about planting sweet potatoes, Long Jiusheng thinks of Tang Ailian.

At that time, Tang Ailian was talking about saving the whole village, and she really saved the whole village. Otherwise, when the summer harvest was made, Secretary Zeng was forced not to report the reduction in production, the grain was handed over, and the late rice was not harvested, then people would really starve to death this year.

Li Shixue smiled bitterly: "I also want to plant, but when you asked me to plant sweet potatoes, our double robbery was over, and as soon as those old guys heard that they were going to remove the seedlings and plant sweet potatoes, they fought my local master one by one, how dare I plant it." ”

Although Li Shixue, like Long Jiusheng, also took advantage of the younger wind of cadres, his status is different from Long Jiusheng, Lijiacun is actually still controlled by a group of old guys, and if you want to do anything, you have to hold a meeting to discuss, and when the discussion comes and goes, it is those old guys who speak. He, the captain of the production team, only has executive power, no decision-making power, and is almost like a puppet.

Li Shixue glanced at Long Jiusheng: "They all regret not listening to me now to plant sweet potatoes, and they say that they will listen to me in the future, but what's the use of regretting it now? The grain harvested in the summer has been handed over to the public surplus grain, the grain harvested in the autumn has not been harvested, and there is no grain to eat before the summer harvest in the new year, I see what they will do!"

Li Shixue thought in his heart, it's okay, those old guys are very stubborn, and they are not allowed to falsely report grain production at all, so there is not much surplus grain in their village. Last year's early rice still had a small amount of grain left.

Otherwise, if he is like the Xiangyang production team, he falsely reports the output, sells the early rice as surplus grain, and the late rice is not harvested, he will really shout to the sky.

I heard that the people of the Xiangyang production team have no food to eat now. It's only the first month now, and there are still five months before the summer harvest.

What he is worried about now is that his own grain will not be able to eat this year's summer harvest, and besides, after many disasters and hardships in 59 years, will the wind and rain be smooth in 60 years?

It's only the first month of the year, and no one knows.

Long Jiusheng laughed: "You are the captain, what should I do is not up to you?"

Li Shixue was stunned for a moment, but suddenly understood, he patted his thigh: "Yes, what to do should be up to me." Alas, boss, how about helping the younger brother and lend us some seeds and food?"

Jiusheng was also very refreshing: "Okay, borrow 3,000 catties of sweet potatoes for you to seed." ”

"Sweet potato seeding?" Li Shixue was puzzled. What he wanted was rice seeds.

Long Jiusheng lowered his voice: "Yes, to tell you the truth, I was ordered by a master last year to know that there was going to be a big drought, and the master said that this year is still a big drought year, and there may be locust plagues in the second half of the year." It's useless for you to grow rice, let's grow sweet potatoes and taro honestly. ”

Li Shixing thought thoughtfully: "Okay, listen to the boss, let's focus on planting sweet potatoes this spring." We farmers are coarse, and it is not bad to be able to mix sweet potatoes and taro in a pot full of stomachs. Say yes, you provide me with sweet potato seeds. ”

"How can I lie to you? 3,000 catties of sweet potato seeds, the seedlings can be planted on 180 acres of land, and you can take them away tonight. ”

Li Shixing was overjoyed: "Thank you, Boss Long, you are really my timely rain." ”

A few days after Lijia Village took away the sweet potato seeds, Tiantou Village and Honglu Village, which had formed an alliance with Longtou Village, also came to the door.

"Boss Long, you can't favor one over the other, give Lijia Village sweet potato seeds, don't you give them to us, right?" Tian Lao, the captain of Tiantou Village, had not yet entered, and his loud voice passed into Long Jiusheng's house.

"Hmph, am I that kind of person? It's all the same, each team has 5,000 catties of sweet potato seeds. Let's be clear, it's borrowed. ”

Long Jiusheng is very generous and treats everyone equally, Tiantou Village and Honglu Village are both the relatives of Longtou Village, so that Longtou Village is the boss. With a wave of his hand, he borrowed 3,000 catties of sweet potatoes for them to plant.

Generally, one acre of land needs 30 to 50 catties of sweet potato seedlings, 3,000 catties of sweet potatoes can be planted 100 acres of seedling fields, and sweet potato vines can be cut many times, if you don't have to rush time, you can even plant two or three hundred acres of no problem.

Because of the severe drought last year, many production teams' large canteens were unsustainable and intermittent. Some teams had no food to eat and ate all the seeds they had left.

As a result, at the beginning of spring, many production teams did not even have seeds.

Just when the production teams were in a dilemma, the commune sent sweet potato seeds to the production teams, and I have to say, this is the timely rain. If you don't farm again, won't you have even more food to eat this year?

Zeng Faxiang, the commune secretary who was promoted from the brigade party secretary, was different from other secretaries, and the 200,000 catties of sweet potatoes transferred from the leading production team were not used by him as food, but were sent to the major teams after he raised seedlings as sweet potato seeds.

If he had already planted the sweet potatoes, he would have been eaten as well.

When he heard that his sweet potatoes were distributed to the major teams as seeds, Long Jiusheng was still proud. It's just that before he had time to show his pride, disaster came to the door again, and he was accused of concealing the output and privately dividing the surplus grain!

Thinking of raising seedlings, Long Jiusheng immediately ran to Tang Ailian's favorite village to play under the big camphor tree and found Tang Ailian: "Ah Lian, have you seen your master recently?"

He also had some doubts about the sweet potato seedlings planted last year, you know, other teams are not without sweet potatoes, at least, those dry lands are used to grow sweet potatoes.

But because of the drought in the second half of last year, people's mu yield was about five or six hundred catties, and the yield per mu of their leading production team reached two thousand six hundred catties!

Therefore, he suspected that the seedlings provided by Master Tang Ailian.

I have to say, he is the truth.

Tang Ailian heard Captain Jiusheng's words, but it was Ge Deng: Oh no!
