Chapter 317 Baodi

Zhang Cuilian replied generously: "I'm also fast, and everyone can come to me for help if they have any difficulties." ”

Everyone even said politely: "No, no, if you are not used to it, just tell us." ”

The fourth uncle, Yang Changsheng, is the old village chief and the patriarch of Yangzhuang who stayed here, and he is usually quite majestic. Now there is an outsider above, and what kind of economy he wants to do is equivalent to an invader from his own family. Under the guise of sounding good, this is to get involved in the family affairs of their old Yang family, and it must be uneasy and kind.

He saw that everyone had a good impression of the couple who had parachuted into the city, and his heart was not happy. He stood up and picked up people again, this time the big guy didn't delay much and walked away.

Yang Changsheng turned around and said a few words with a smile, and walked slowly with his hands behind his back.

The compound of the village committee of Nuoda fell silent all of a sudden, and Zhang Cuilian remembered that there were still a lot of daily necessities in Gu Zhicheng's house. In the name of buying things, he dragged Gu Zhicheng to visit the entire Yangzhuang.

Yangzhuang is a typical northeastern-style rural village, and every household has large windows and large yards. Many families have a yard in the front and back, and those who live on the edge of the village have a larger yard. Zhang Cuilian estimated that one acre of land in the backyard and half an acre of land in the front yard are used to grow vegetables.

At the beginning of March, the temperature here was still very low, Zhang Cuilian wrapped her coat and leaned on Gu Zhicheng and walked slowly on the snow.

There are a few small shops in Yangzhuang, but they are basically closed when it gets late. The two of them were not in a hurry and walked slowly in the dark night, listening to Gu Zhicheng slowly talk about what they had seen and heard in the past few days.

"It's a small market over there, and there are quite a lot of people during the day. Those who sell meat and fish are next to the bus stop. The locals divided the area into several places. Gu Zhicheng stretched out his hand and drew a general direction by the faint lights of every house.

"This place of the vegetable market is usually called gai." (Note: The pronunciation here is Northeast dialect gai, and Shanggai means to go to the street.)

"This provincial highway is next to the water, and this large area is called Xixiakan. There's a post office over there, so it's called the post office. There is a paper mill at the back... Gu Zhicheng didn't finish speaking, Zhang Cuilian said: "So it's called a paper mill?" ”

Gu Zhicheng nodded, turned around and pointed to the road in front of him: "Our area is called the village committee, and further south is the middle school." After middle school, it is not Yangzhuang Town, but actually the village below. ”

Zhang Cuilian thought of the paper mill she just mentioned, and thought that this town was quite big. As soon as he wanted to ask about the paper mill, he heard Gu Zhicheng sigh: "It's not that there has been no development before, and the paper mill is to attract investment." There is a lot of land here, and there is no one to plant in many places. The paper mill looks quite big, but it's actually next to the water, and it gets waterlogged when it rises in the summer. It didn't work for anything, so it was given to the paper mill. But within two years, because the market was not good, the land was the property of the village committee. I can't sell it, and I still occupy space when I put it aside. ”

"So what do the people over here do for a living?" Zhang Cuilian had found some information before she came, and the fish here were quite famous, and the rice yield was also good.

"The people who farm the land are basically buds and soybeans, otherwise everything planted is in vain." Gu Zhicheng found that the more he knew about Yang Zhuang, he was a little worried. I don't know how this work should be carried out and where to start.

Zhang Cuilian patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, take your time, you're just starting." As they spoke, they saw a small shop with lights on, and the couple walked in.

Gu Zhicheng stretched out his hand to look at the time through the light, and it was still open at half past seven. Just now, the two of them went all the way, and only two restaurants were still open, and that was also because there was a table of guests in it who didn't leave. I don't know what the situation is with this small store.

Just thinking about it, Zhang Cuilian had already chatted with the proprietress about family life, and it was always so easy for women to talk to each other. Gu Zhicheng pursed his lips and shook his head, and suddenly an idea sprouted in his heart.

"Hey, Secretary Gu has been here for a few days and still hasn't got all the things? Tell me earlier, I'll send it to Secretary Gu. The woman smiled and took the things, turned around and shouted, "Mom, Secretary Gu and his family have come to our house." ”

Zhang Cuilian just wanted to stop the old man from coming out, when she saw an old man who was about 1.5 meters tall and a little chubby walked out. Behind him was an uncle in a tunic suit, who seemed to be not in good health and was panting all the time.

The two old men were very happy to see Gu Zhicheng and his family, and moved a stool to put next to the small stove. The eldest lady also grabbed a large handful of melon seeds and handed them to Zhang Cuilian, and the uncle even lit a cigarette and handed it to Gu Zhicheng.

"No, no, I don't smoke." Gu Zhicheng pushed the cigarette back, and the uncle thought that Gu Zhicheng was polite or disgusted with the cigarette. hurriedly beckoned the proprietress to change a box of cigarettes, Zhang Cuilian hurriedly stopped the proprietress and explained to the uncle: "Uncle, don't go outside." Our family doesn't smoke, don't drink, and can't play mahjong. ”

The uncle was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with a surprised smile: "Why don't you smoke and drink?" How can any cadre not know this? ”

The eldest lady was afraid that Gu Zhicheng would be unhappy, so she hurriedly pushed the uncle. Zhang Cuilian pulled the eldest lady and said with a smile: "My old Gu has been a soldier in the army for more than ten years, and it is impossible to play mahjong without drinking." Smoking is also very rare people, and he was born with no will. ”

Everyone believed it, and the eldest lady looked Gu Zhicheng up and down with a satisfied face: "This is good, what is good about cigarettes and wine." It's best not to stick it, it's useless! ”

Gu Zhicheng smiled, looked around and asked curiously, "The two of us walked all the way over to see that other people's houses were closed." Why is your house still open? ”

Zhang Cuilian was also curious: "Why don't you see your eldest brother?" Not at home? ”

This sentence silenced everyone, and the old lady began to wipe her tears, and the proprietress persuaded on the side: "Mom, what are you doing here." Isn't this Secretary Gu coming to the house to understand the situation, don't cry. ”

As she spoke, she couldn't help but shed tears, and Gu Zhicheng and the two looked at each other and knew that there must be a story here.

The proprietress is named Yang Dahua, who was born in 70 years, and is twenty-seven years old like Zhang Cuilian. The difference is that Kang Kang is young, just over four years old this year, while her eldest daughter is eight years old and her youngest son is five years old.

"Huh? Then you'll have a baby at eighteen. I'm not old! Zhang Cuilian blurted out and asked, Yang Dahua didn't care: "What's this, it's like this in the countryside now." If you have a wedding, you will get married, and when you reach the age of age, you will get a certificate and handle the child's household registration together. ”

Gu Zhicheng frowned: "But why are there two children in your family?" ”

The Yang family was a little scared for a moment, and Zhang Cuilian explained: "We either want to punish you, or we want to ask." ”

Uncle Yang said: "I have three sons, our eldest daughter-in-law can't give birth to peritonitis, and the second child in our family has polio and no children." This is my third son's house, and I really can't help it, let's talk about another one. The village chief was also very helpful, so he gave birth to one. ”

Aunt Yang couldn't help but say: "It's normal for a family of two in the village to pay a fine." It can't be like in the city, but Ding Kemao can have a baby. ”

Gu Zhicheng asked about the situation of the Yang family, and then he knew that their family was doing well. The eldest of the Yang family is a farmer from a serious agricultural society, and his life is not bad all year round after he has contracted land. The second child of the Yang family is disabled but has craftsmanship, and his life is not bad. The third child's living conditions were better, and he contracted a fish pond. It's a pity that I fell into the ice cave in the winter, and by the time the big guy was rescued, it was no longer good.

Uncle Yang has asthma, an old disease that is common among the elderly in Northeast China, and this disease will naturally be alleviated by changing to a warm place. However, in this era, it is not a good time for Northeast people to go to Sanya to buy houses and become migratory birds more than ten years later. Like Uncle Yang, people who can't get angry in winter just take some medicine to maintain it.

Wang Dahua himself has a bit of land, but he has subcontracted the land to the eldest uncle. Three or five acres of land here is not called land, it is basically self-sufficient.

From Wang Dahua's mouth, Gu Zhicheng basically understood the situation in Yangzhuang. There is no land for people who have jobs in this place, such as people who work in the government, such as people who pack fish ponds. The land here is vast and sparsely populated, and the average household can have one piece of land, that is, ten to fifteen acres, but due to seasonal reasons, the annual yield is not high.

Every year, the land is thawed in mid-April and the land is planted in October. Once a year, remove the pesticides, fertilizers, seeds, money, and then remove the family's food and drink, and there is basically not much left.

"My mother's family didn't live in the local area, and the land in my hometown was contracted out. There are only four people in total and six acres of land, and it is not cost-effective to plant it, so it is better to sell tofu. "Wang Dahua's maiden family sells tofu on the ground, and she is also a middle-class family in the village.

According to Wang Dahua, the source of income for the people of Yangzhuang has a lot to do with where they live. In the street (gai), the surrounding families are all engaged in trading for a living, including hairdressers, restaurants, vegetable sellers, fish sellers, watch repairers, stalls, snack sellers, and clothes sellers.

Xixiakan is next to the water, and the people in the village who fish for a living live there. In the vicinity of the school, there are many people who make a living from farming, and there are many people who do odd jobs. The rest are all employed, such as grain depots, cooperatives selling goods, and agricultural and sideline product purchasing stations. There are more than 20 people working in the small popsicle factory.

Yangzhuang is considered a very rich village, and Gu Zhicheng has to say that Jin Wen did give him the green light when he took over this village.

Zhang Cuilian did not miss this opportunity, and took the opportunity to chat with the Yang family and inquire about a lot of things.

Only then did the two know that the village was actually not doing well when it looked wealthy. The gap between the rich and the poor is polarized, and those who do business are much stronger than those who farm. Now the people in the village who have little land have simply contracted out their land, so that they can still get the money no matter what kind of harvest they have.

For example, the richest family in the village, the eldest son of Yang Changsheng, the fourth uncle of the village chief. Yang Yaozu has contracted 20 hectares of land this year, basically covering all the land of the people in the school.

Gu Zhicheng was stunned, and his words couldn't be said clearly: "Twenty land? Did you plant it? ”

Zhang Cuilian counted with her fingers: "One loft is 15 acres of land, and ten lofts is 150 acres." Twenty acres of land is 300 acres of land, which is the land of nearly 30 families. How does he have so much money? ”
