After the central authorities issued a document on price reform, the rural areas of this life are very different from those of the same period in the previous life; now the market for agricultural products has been basically liberalized, and the grain in the hands of the peasants can be sold to whomever they want, and they can sell it at whatever price they want, as long as the purchaser agrees.

In this respect, peasants' incomes have increased and their autonomy has also increased. However, the corresponding price of agricultural materials has also risen sharply, and what fertilizers, pesticides, mulch films, and improved seeds are much more expensive than before. It can be said that the price reform has not really increased the peasants' income, and fortunately the agricultural tax has not been increased, otherwise, the peasants' income may have decreased.

With regard to the price reform, the original intention of the higher authorities was indeed not to increase the peasants' income, but to continue to wronged the peasants and make the peasants bear the heavy burden of blood transfusion to all walks of life. If we rashly increase the peasants' incomes, the current weak industry will not be able to bear it, and the business that is on the rise will not be able to bear it. As for the improvement of the peasants' situation, we can only take our time, and we can only wait for other industries to develop, and then feed back agriculture, so that we can cancel the agricultural tax and give various subsidies as in the previous life.

Because of this, the peasants at present have mixed feelings about the price reform, saying that it is good and that it is bad, and that some people even scold their superiors in front of Guo Zhuocheng for messing around and cheating the peasants.

In this regard, Guo Zhuocheng did not refute or defend himself, because he knew that everyone's status and position were different, and everyone rarely empathized, not to mention that farmers are naturally disadvantaged.

The peasants' interests have not increased much, but the burden on the state has been greatly lightened by this price reform, and the state finances no longer bear the burden of grain subsidies that are commonly stored by urban residents; except for a very small number of poor enterprise workers, all the ration supplies of other urban residents have been handed over to the market, and the state is only responsible for the collection of taxes on grain transactions. That is to say, after the price reform, the state is basically only responsible for collecting money for food, and no longer pays out of the pockets of hundreds of millions of people.

Of course, the country makes a lot of money at the same time. Even those peasants who scolded the price reform had to admit that they were much freer after the price liberalization, and that no one was forced to sell their pitiful grain when the price of grain was very low and their own families had nothing to eat.

In the past, this was not the case, you had to pay the quota of patriotic food first, even if you didn't have anything to eat at home, you had to tighten your pants and pay patriotic food. And now it's just a matter of getting more food. You can take the grain to the market and exchange it for money with peace of mind, you don't have to worry about being caught for speculation, and if you have money, you will not lack oil, salt, cloth, and so on. Good days may not come immediately, but hunger and cold are clearly not coming again.

Guo Zhuocheng is still very proud of his own efforts to make the price reform in his previous life a few years ahead of schedule.

Because of his skill in plowing the fields, Guo Zhuocheng's relationship with the peasants soon became harmonious, and the peasants admired him very much as a city man. If it weren't for the fact that he was dressed differently from the peasants, he would be almost the same as the youth of the countryside. During the rest time, when everyone rests, as long as he asks at the exit. The peasants will say their true inner words, so that Guo Zhuocheng has mastered a lot of real numbers that he didn't know before.

Three days passed in one fell swoop. Because he couldn't plant rice immediately after ploughing, Guo Zhuocheng didn't get up that morning to work in the field, but practiced tiger and wolf boxing in the sunning a few times. It wasn't until Ye Shihua came over and called him to eat breakfast that he put away his fists and went home.

And Ye Shihua's father went to work in the commune yesterday afternoon.

As soon as I finished breakfast, a brand-new motorcycle drove towards Ye's house.

Guo Zhuocheng stood on the steps and drank tea while looking at this motorcycle, which is rare in the countryside now, and guessed the identity of the visitor. And Ye Shihua next to him also asked in surprise: "What a beautiful motorcycle, who is this, won't come to you?" ”

It was a Yamaha imported motorcycle. It didn't stop until it was about two or three meters in front of Ye Shihua. Driving the motorcycle was a thin young man in bell bottoms, a floral shirt, toad glasses, and long hair.

After the car stopped, the young man smiled at the surprised Ye Shihua.

Guo Shucheng turned his head and glanced at Ye Shihua, smiled and did not speak.

Soon. The person who came stopped the car, turned off the fire, and after coming down, he deliberately kicked the support hard, threw the car key lightly in his hand, and shouted at Ye Shihua, who still didn't recognize him: "Ye Shihua!" ”

"Hello." Although Ye Shihua promised in his mouth, it was subconscious, and the look on his face was confused.

"I'm Yang Jian!" The young man enthusiastically stretched out his hand to Ye Shihua and said with a smile, "Hehe, won't it?" Classmates in the third year of high school, just forget about jì? It's really a noble person who forgets things. ”

Ye Shihua shouted happily when she heard this: "Yang Jian? ......, hehe, I thought you were a little ruffle, wearing women's clothes. How do you know I'm back? ”

Yang Jian still stretched out his right hand and asked with a smile: "Give us the etiquette of shaking hands with Chinese or the etiquette of hugging foreigners?" ”

Ye Shihua smiled: "Don't even think about it. Then, she introduced Guo Zhuocheng and Yang Jian, "This is Guo Zhuocheng, my good friend." His name is Yang Jian, he is my high school classmate, and he is a child of an official family! ”

Guo Zhuocheng smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome!" ”

Yang Jian seemed to have just seen Guo Zhuocheng, shook hands with Guo Zhuocheng involuntarily, and then turned to Ye Shihua and said: "My father is a broken county magistrate, and he doesn't dare to ascend to the elegant hall, where is the son of an official family?" ”

However, the look on his face was very smug and proud.

Ye Shihua asked with a smile: "Congratulations." Your dad was promoted again? I remember last year when your father was still the deputy county magistrate, right? ”

Yang Jian said very comfortably: "Don't talk about him, it's just shit luck." ......, I got up early in the morning today and came here to look for you. ”

Ye Shihua walked around Yang Jian's motorcycle and asked, "Yang Jian, you guy just got rich, this is an imported motorcycle, it's much more beautiful than the three-wheeled motorcycle at the police station." ”

Yang Jian played with the car keys, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Isn't it?" I only bought this car last week. Money is a trivial matter, the main thing is that it is difficult to buy, it needs to be pre-ordered, and it can be picked up after at least half a year. This car is called cool when it is driven. The heavy metal speakers above are all first-class! In the end, it is a Japanese product, and there is no way to compare our country's products with it. Of course, there is no comparison with the high-end motorcycles you get outside, and we villagers only have the ideas of the villagers. ”

Although the last words were self-effaced, the tone of the words was clearly ostentatious. Guo Zhuocheng is a human being in two lives, so naturally he will not have any reaction, and it is not normal for young people not to brag.

Ye Shihua said with a smile: "Young Master Yang, you are hurting me, I am a serious countryman." Please come in and have a cup of tea, have you had breakfast? ”

Yang Jian followed her to the house and said, "I heard that you are back, and several of our classmates want to invite you to our class party. Do you have time? You can bring your friends along. ”

The current college entrance examination is very difficult, it can really be said that thousands of troops are crowded into a single-plank bridge, often a class of fifty or sixty people are admitted to four or five, the rest of the people go home to be unemployed or look for jobs, and a few who do not give up are repeated. So it's easy to get a high school graduating class party, and you can call out most of the students in the class at any time.

"Our class party? Okay, when? Where is it? Ye Shihua didn't know how to make Guo Zhuocheng happy, and now he had a chance to have fun, and of course he agreed. Besides, since graduating from high school, she has rarely seen other classmates in high school, and she likes to join in the fun when she is young and lively. As she spoke, she handed Yang Jian a glass of cold boiled water.

"In the town near the school, there are already several classmates who are working in our county after graduating from college, yesterday the class leader came to my house to find my old man to do something, so I dragged him for a while, and he heard that you were back and sued me, so I rushed over early this morning." Yang Jian's tone was a little proud, probably because the classmates who were admitted to the university still came to beg his father, who was not admitted to anything.

Ye Shihua is studying for four years of undergraduates, and some students are studying for three years of junior college or two and a half years of technical secondary school, and now they are working, and their scores are worse than those of undergraduates, and they are assigned to relevant units in the county.

Ye Shihua asked: "The squad leader's family is in difficulty, you have to say more good things for him in front of your father and help him more." ”

"Then you need to say that he is also my classmate. My father wanted to put him in the town here for a few years before he was promoted. Yang Jian said.

"Then I thank you and your father on behalf of my old classmates. By the way, how many classmates were contacted? Ye Shihua asked.

Yang Jian said: "Twenty-one of the fifty-three people in our class have been contacted, you know that most of the people in our class have not passed the exam, except for some who go out to work, they are basically in the county and our town, and some are farming at home." The connection is very fast. By the way, why don't you give us a call when you're home? How can anyone keep it so secret from an old classmate? ”

Ye Shihua said with a smile: "There is something at home, I am embarrassed to go out." ......, when is the meeting? ”

Yang Jian said: "It's tomorrow at noon." After a while, I will contact the other students. He drank all the cold boiled water in one gulp.

Ye Shihua took the cup he handed over and promised, "Okay, I'll be there at noon tomorrow." ”

Yang Jian said: "You have to try to arrive early, eat at the hotel first, and then go out to play together." You are all intellectuals, pillars of the country, we are still illiterate, and if you go, the taste of this meeting will be much higher. By the way, our class Xu Lei will also come. Speaking of this, Yang Jian's face was a little shy.

Ye Shihua smiled: "Oh, why are you so enthusiastic, it turns out that you are pulling us together to protect the media for you." Yes! I'll push it for you tomorrow and try to catch it for you. However, is it to send us matchmakers a pair of leather shoes each? ”
