At this time, three distinguished guests came to the door of Hong Yan's house.

"Oh, it's a girl!" Li Yun was the first to discover the goddaughter who was walking in front. "Sister Xu, you are really willing to go! This is Dad, right? Li Yun greeted the three of them and led them home.

"Nan, give Bao Bao a New Year's greeting!" Xu Peiqiu said while holding her daughter's hand. Nan Nan obediently shouted: "Baobao, give you a New Year's greeting!" Li Yun "haha" smiled: "You're so good, do you want to protect it?" "Why, where is the little brother?" Nan Nan began to look for Hong Yan in a word. "What the little brother said, I will give you a New Year's greeting, and bring the red envelope! Look, this is a red envelope prepared by the little brother! Li Yun took out the red envelope she was carrying and handed it to Nannan.

The little girl took it and thanked her very obediently, and then handed it to her mother! Xu Peiqiu smiled and touched her daughter's little head: "I'll give it to you, I want it?" ”

Song Guoqiang and Xu Peiqiu stepped on the wide dam, observed the newly completed house, and exchanged glances.

"Baobao, let's go to your house!" Seeing that the three adults were not leaving, Nan Nan urged.

"This is Baobao's home! Oh, do you remember the old home of Baobao, we won't go. This is the little brother's new home, is it beautiful? Li Yun was a little puzzled at first, but later understood what she meant. Sister Xu, big brother, you can sit casually! ”

"Beautiful. What about the little brother? "I asked for the second time.

"Little brother is on the mountain! He's guarding the orchard! Shall I call someone to call him back? "Coincidentally, Li Yun is the only one at home at this time.

"Hong Yan went up the mountain to guard the orchard? What's going on? Song Guoqiang asked in surprise.

"Brother Song, Hong Yan and his father didn't know how to negotiate and contracted the orchard of the brigade. After the Chinese New Year, he was alone on the mountain. ”

"Your family's contracted orchard? How big is it? The word contracting is very sensitive, and Song Guoqiang grabbed it and wanted to ask.

"Look, it's on that mountainside, there are more than 200 acres!" Li Yun pointed to Jianshan Road.

Song Guoqiang and Xu Peiqiu both saw it and thought it was incredible. How is it possible for the father and son to contract 200 acres of orchards? How many people do you have to hire to help?

"The orchard is huge, can they take care of it? Halfway up the mountain, how to solve the problem of watering? How do you get the fruit down? Song Guoqiang's series of questions asked several key questions.

"I don't know they're going to solve it! Anyway, Hong Yan must have a way! Li Yun didn't answer Song Guoqiang's question well, and then pushed it directly onto his son.

They didn't ask Li Yun to ask Hong Yan to go down the mountain, but ate a bowl of mash eggs at home and shook off their hands to the mountain. It's bitter. Hong Jianguo was accompanied by Rongrong, who wanted his brother. Climbing up the stone steps, they heard the relatively smooth erhu song "Shandandan Blossoms Red Yanyan" and then saw the child sitting under the eaves. His eyes were half-open and half-closed, his waist was straight, and his little head swayed to the rhythm. It seems that he is immersed in the artistic conception of the erhu.

The two big wolf dogs, one left and one right, were beside Hong Yan, vigilantly looking in the direction of the stone steps, and then suddenly arched their backs and rushed forward. Song Guoqiang and Xu Peiqiu were both startled, and hurriedly pulled Xiao Nan over and hid behind them. Hong Jianguo roared "Big Black, Little Black". The two dogs still rushed over, bowed down and circled around them, and then stretched out their crimson tongues from left to right and licked the little hands of the girls.

Nan Nan watched the two big black-backed wolf dogs rush over, as if she was stunned. When the two big wolf dogs showed goodwill, she had already come to her senses, hugged the necks of the two dogs and happily called "dog". She recognized two of the four half-sized dogs she had known in the previous two months. Then, she spread her calves and ran towards her little brother, and the two big dogs behind her jogged to follow.

Song Guoqiang shook his head and looked at this scene in disbelief. Hong Yan stopped the erhu, got up and walked towards them, and then was grabbed by Nannan's hands and asked, "Why didn't the little brother come to see Nannan?" ”

What a domineering girl! All right! Go back to the north for the Spring Festival, you don't want a little brother first! Belch...... It's only a few times, why are you back pinching! Then I don't care!

"I'm sorry! The little brother is so busy, you see that the little brother can't walk away from such a big orchard alone! ”

"Why didn't Uncle and Bao Bao come to see it? They're so lazy! "The boy turned his cannon fire on the adults again. The world is big, and the big is the biggest.

"Alright, baby. The little brother has grown up and has many things to do, and the uncle and Bao Bao also have many things. Would it be okay to let the little brother show us the orchard? Xu Peiqiu arrived in time and diverted the topic.

Song Guoqiang looked at the semi-finished pool and was speechless. What is this private project? When I thought of the problem of water in the middle of the mountain, it turned out that people had already thought of it. But isn't the price a little higher? The water storage reaches 700 cubic meters, which can fully meet the water consumption of the orchard.

The fruit trees are still verdant and apparently unaffected by the drought. This is in stark contrast to the wilting leaves and small trees on the way. There are also cracked rice fields, and there are no winter paddy fields to be seen. Damn the drought, sure enough, like a "friendly reminder", the autumn drought, and there is still no rain. Seven or eight days of spring, according to the situation in previous years, before and after the Spring Festival, it is often rainy and cloudy, the green vegetables in the field are smart, the goose seedlings are outcropping, and a vigorous spring is coming.

He's weird? Why are these fruit trees so easy to grow? Could it be that Hong Yan discovered the mystery of this hillside?

However, Song Guoqiang quickly dispelled his doubts. Yueshanzhai, which is adjacent to Jianshan at the same height, does not have fruit trees, and the vegetables and trees there are just a lack of water. Hong Yan said that he asked many people to carry water from the bottom of the mountain to pour it. Hong Yan pointed to the spring water at the bottom of the mountain and said, "Uncle Song, Aunt Xu, there is a spring that will never run out, otherwise my fruit tree will be finished." ”

They even climbed to the top of the mountain and looked at the smoke and yellow earth below.

"Hong Yan, do you think it's appropriate to contract such a large orchard?" Song Guoqiang asked suddenly.

Hong Yan knows that "contracting" should be an unprecedented initiative in this era. Next year, the Lingnan provincial capital will spark a discussion over the issue of contracting fish ponds, which in turn will affect a pioneer in selling melon seeds. Of course, the common question between the two is, is there exploitation of private workers? How many people are appropriate? As a result of the discussions, "seven up and eight down" workers and "the private economy" were enshrined in the Constitution. At this time, the brigade should not know much about it, but with decades of life experience, there is always some anxiety. That's why Hong Xueqin reflected to the commune, the commune went to the county, and finally the county could explore.

He wanted to know more about what Song Guoqiang meant by asking this question? The words of officials are often not direct, and the parties need to understand and understand for themselves.

"Uncle Song, the kid is stupid, what do you mean by appropriate? What does it mean to be inappropriate? What are the criteria for judging whether it is suitable or unsuitable? We sing all day long that socialism is good, so what's good about him? Speaking of heart-wrenching, isn't it called socialism in a society where people have two taels of oil a month, eat and supply grain, build a broken quilt for each family, and have clothes to wear when they go out? Hehe, who said that traffic basically depends on walking, communication basically relies on roaring, public security basically relies on dogs, and heating basically depends on shaking ......"

"Haha...... You kid really know how to make it up. Song Guoqiang was amused by the mouth.

"It's so apt!" Xu Peiqiu also smiled: "Is it really as poor as you say?" ”

"Don't believe me? How many do I want my dad to take you to? Hehe, my house was similar a year ago. ”

"You kid can't pick something good to say!" Hong Jianguo was dissatisfied with his son and said that it was bad, "Let's go down the mountain, it will make the child cold!" ”

The group slowly descended the mountain.

"Hong Yan, keep talking!" Song Guoqiang reminded.

"Good things, Uncle Song has heard too much, and he will think that we are really rich, rich in resources, rich in resources, rich in country, people live and work in peace and contentment, and ordinary people abroad are living in dire straits, and we need to liberate them. Aunt Xu has just gone abroad, and we can't catch up with the living standards of other people's people for another 20 years. I won't say much about the specifics, otherwise I will buckle the hat of worshipping foreign flattery. ”

"How do you know?" Xu Peiqiu asked rhetorically.

"Cut, heels can be thought of, which is not to belittle others to elevate themselves. Thirty years ago, what level did people reach? Although we have done a lot of work in the past 30 years, such as the 156 key project, the satellite in the sky, and the two bombs, we have been moving continuously during this period, especially in the past ten years, what have we done? You fight me, I fight you, everyone fights each other...... Two years earlier, I might have been beaten as the current anti-*GM when I said this, hehe. Hong Yan pouted.

How could Song Guoqiang and Xu Peiqiu not know about these situations? Maybe they've been criticized or criticized by others.

"Going back to the question just now, it can be summed up in two words - poverty, is poverty socialism? Uncle Song and Aunt Xu, believe it or not, if you poke out the matter of me contracting, it will definitely cause an uproar. High-ranking officials or theorists will come out with a large number of tomes, quote scriptures, and go online to accuse this practice of being a great rebellion and violating the research and assumptions of Marneres and Mao...... In fact, they sat firmly in the high hall, scolded Fang Xuan, did not worry about food and clothing, had no worries about food and clothing, could not see the living conditions of the common people, stubbornly picked out words, held on to the dogma of more than a hundred years ago, and still looked like the world was drunk and I was sober. ”

Is Poverty Socialism? Hong Yan's questioning and dissatisfaction with dogmatism shocked Song Guoqiang and Xu Peiqiu. It's really rebellious!

"There is no road in the world, and when there are more people walking, it becomes a road. This contract is not suitable today, but it does not mean that it will not be suitable in the future. The old man also said that no matter whether the cat is white or black, it is a good cat to catch mice. You are more likely to see and think far ahead than us countrymen, but one thing is clear to everyone, and now is a waste of time. Standing higher, seeing farther, and thinking more thoroughly is just a matter of entry point and timing. Xing what? How? It's still exquisite. How to prosper is a matter of methods and measures, and a matter of way. The old way, the safest. New measures, prone to mistakes. There is also the need to wait, see how others do it, and follow the learning after doing a good job.

Why was this orchard built? It seems that every brigade and every commune has orchards of greater or less, but why can't they bear good fruit, not more fruit? How much does the brigade put in? How much responsibility does it have for managing the orchard?

Uncle Song, you saw it. After I took over, I replaced more than 1,000 fruit trees and built pools to ensure a high yield and a good harvest. I don't manage this orchard well, and I can't get back the annual contract and the investment. Can the brigade do that, you say? Even so, the brigade can earn at least 1,200 yuan a year. If, after ten years, the brigade takes back the contract, it can also get a large pool of water when it recovers the orchard.

Uncle Song, it's because the brigade is not bold enough. I said that if I could contract for thirty or fifty years, I would green this mountain and plant all the fruit trees, what kind of beauty would it be? But they were too cautious! ”

"They've taken a big enough step!" Song Guoqiang said. Truth from facts, his evaluation is still very pertinent, "Just now I talked about how to prosper, so what is prospering?" ”

"What's going on? Contracting is a road. I am not optimistic about running a social team enterprise, at least we do not have enough foundation in this place, and it is difficult to develop. It's also a question of what's going on. There is a saying that there is no stability without agriculture, no wealth without work, and no life without business, and in my opinion, from the national level, it is necessary to develop agriculture, industry, and commerce. As far as the rural areas are concerned, it is necessary to grasp the main business of grain production, develop livestock and poultry breeding, and open up special economic planting industries. Not to mention grain production, each family has a few chickens and two pigs, at least to solve the problem of egg meat. Planting fruit trees in the mountains and raising fish in weir ponds are all methods.

I went into the city to eat, and people didn't want to receive me. If you don't have food stamps, you won't be able to sell them, and if you have food stamps, you may not be able to eat. The restaurant is scarce and the variety is single. Department stores have few goods and poor service attitude. If private individuals are allowed to open restaurants, or private individuals are allowed to open shops, what do you think, Uncle Song? ”

"Is it possible to open a private shop? Where does the rice and noodles come from? Who's going to eat? Where do the goods in the store come from, and the things in each factory are planned to be produced and allocated. "Song Guoqiang's problem, in fact, has a policy consideration.

"Well, it is not possible to buy from the production plants of state enterprises, collective enterprises. However, what about the goods produced by private factories, then these things can always be entered! For example, if I want to go into the city to open a restaurant, my own grain, vegetables, buy meat, eggs and poultry at a high price, and fish from the river, is it okay? Is it okay for me to go into the city and open a fruit shop or vegetable shop to enrich the lives of the people in the city? I fooled my five uncles into going into the city to sell furniture or customize furniture, is it okay? ”

May I? Is it okay for Song Guoqiang to hear them one by one? It's hard to answer! Why can't you work by yourself, don't steal or rob, and are grown in your own fields or produced by brigades or some unrestricted commodities?

"You think about this every day?" Song Guoqiang doubted Hong Yan's head.

"I'm scared. Hehe, I grew up in two years, and my daughter-in-law couldn't marry me. Hong Yan's smile was somewhat scoundrel.

"You're good at that! It's thought-provoking, my uncle didn't think about it so much! Song Guoqiang affirmed Hong Yan's idea.

It's not that I didn't think about it, but I didn't dare to think about it, and I didn't dare to say or do it when I thought of it! As an official, you always have to take into account your official hat, Hong Yanxin said.

Hong Yan's words were very shocking to Song Guoqiang's ears. Know that there are both critical views and pioneering ideas. In his own words, it may be a big reversal, but it is not without being forward-looking. Fortunately, Song Guoqiang just listened, and did not think about this issue from the perspective of the line and ideological struggle. Of course, Xu Peiqiu said so much to Hong Yan without much surprise.

"Hong Yan, this is your school?" The group slowly arrived at the brigade primary school, Xu Peiqiu asked.

"yes, ruined, right? Aunt Xu, you see that the flowers of our motherland go to school here, leaking wind and rain. Don't you feel heartache? Hong Yan said with a smile.

"Go, how many days have you been in the classroom? I'm embarrassed to go to school on the premise of my aunt! ”

"Haha, Auntie, you can leave the school affairs alone, the brigade is preparing to rebuild the primary school and build a new kindergarten with 6,000 contract funds. However, now that our substitute teachers are admitted to the university and are leaving after the Spring Festival, you have to send us a teacher, right? ”

"Your teacher was admitted to university? Not bad! Xu Peiqiu said: "However, there is a shortage of teachers in the county!" I'll go back and figure out how to find a way to get one. ”

It is impossible to really have a teacher all at once, and it may also require a brigade or commune to report to the dignitaries before they can be dispatched. The group continued to move forward, and on the way, Hong Yan held Xiao Nannan's hand, she was very quiet and did not make noise.

"It's a pity that such a big weir pond is dry!" Song Guoqiang stood on the pond side road.

"It's a pity, if it weren't for the drought, there would have been about 20 acres of reservoirs. I want to contract fish farming! "Hong Yan is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

"I almost forgot about a big thing!" Song Guoqiang seemed to think of something.
