The farm called on workers to use their spare time to plant short-term crops, and within one or two years, the living standards of workers have been greatly improved, the diseases of workers have been reduced, the attendance rate has gradually increased, and people's hearts are stable and smiling.

Later, according to the actual situation, he put forward the idea of "taking into account both public and private affairs, and focusing on the public". "Public" means to vigorously develop the collective economy of the production team and the field department. "Private" means that all teams should do a good job in sideline production, raise pigs, raise fish ponds, plant vegetables, and run public canteens. The principle of allowing private individuals to grow a few vegetables and cash crops, raising a few chickens and ducks, opening small fish ponds, and growing vegetables is allowed to improve the lives of the elderly and children.

The grains produced by the production team are handed over to the whole field, and 40% of the buds, sweet potatoes, peanuts, soybeans, etc. are handed over to the field, and the rest belongs to the production team. These measures were embraced by the workers, but there was one discipline: cadres only serve and are not allowed to abuse their power for personal gain.

In the face of extreme material shortage, the chief of the royal field dared to put forward such a wise measure by judging the situation and sizing up the situation, although it won the hearts of the people, but it also took great political risks. Practice has proved that his direction is right, his policies are also scientific, not to mention taking the wrong road, and he does indeed have the courage to be wise and courageous!

I worked in the third team for more than two years, and then I was transferred to the field department as an administrator.

Being an administrator is a miscellaneous job, from grain, pigs, cattle, fish, beans, to production tools, fertilizers, pesticides, seeds and other substances in and out, must be kept and booked separately. Although the work does not need advanced culture, but to adhere to the principle, careful and diligent, busy every day is not clear, especially when the grain crops are harvested, I am like a "rent collector" every day to the teams, acceptance yield, total output, team commission, hand over to the state, etc., everything must be registered clearly, sloppy, and then the team and field cadres sign and hand over to the accounting office as the original voucher, a little careless, the "lawsuit" will not be clear.

I attach great importance to all aspects of this and do not make any mistakes. I often admonish myself: be cautious, do not make "mistakes", and the responsibility is heavier than Mount Tai.

The farm produced more and more grain on its own, so a large warehouse was built. Adobe walls, tile roofs, wooden floors. A layer of mud was plastered between the planks and the wall to prevent the millet from leaking. The grain depot is loaded with tens of thousands of catties of millet, who knows that the designer is incompetent, does not consider the bearing capacity of the floor, several pillars under the floor can not withstand the heavy pressure, sinking downward, the floor and the wall cracks, the millet leakage is difficult to estimate.

Wang Sanhai, the director of the field, criticized me: "Why do you put so much grain in storage? "I can't say it's the head of the production department who said, "It's no problem to load 200,000 catties of grain." Soon, the earthen wall cracked and slanted outward, and if it was not treated, the house fell and the food was all gone.

Director Wang asked what to do with the production department? Some said that they were assigned to each team and each household for safekeeping; Some say another house. Each team and each household has no granary, where to put it? …… It's not right to think about it.

I suddenly said, "Please ask the county food bureau to help, they have an empty warehouse that can be borrowed". The director asked me to do it immediately. I went to contact the director of the county grain depot, because it was an old acquaintance, he agreed, but asked us to pay some "storage fees", the two of them bargained, and did not give in to each other, I suddenly thought of going to the secretary of the county party committee Wang to solve.

Secretary Wang listened to my distress, a phone call to the director of the grain depot: "All into the warehouse, no charge ......" I saluted Secretary Wang, non-stop ran to the county grain depot, the director of the warehouse smiled and said: "You old Zhang, you old Zhang, really ......" He also proposed "you send your own cars, send people into the warehouse, can only store for eight months, then we have to collect grain into the warehouse."

I said, "Okay, I can't miss your big thing." "By the way, I borrowed two or three hundred sacks and pulled them back to the field department. After listening to the report, Director Li was happy and immediately organized people to bag it. Two tractors kept moving, and there were farm workers unloading grain, and within a few days the warehouse was empty, so the warehouse was dismantled and rebuilt. There are always hundreds of catties of millet leaking from the wall, but fortunately, there is not much mold, so I let go of my heart.

When the granaries were cleared, some rations were also distributed to the teams. They got the rice from the stockade and counted the chaff to the Dai people as a "tool wear fee". Dai people with bran to feed pigs, who knows that the pigs of other people "fed down", individual production team workers eat rice, many people stomach pain, dizziness, vomiting, the situation feedback to the general field security department, everyone was surprised to hear it, immediately traced the cause, the result was found that the millet infiltrated into 1059 pesticides, further investigation found that the pesticide seeped down from the granary shelf, dripping in the grain pile.

Chen Tonggui, an officer of the security section, climbed up to the shelf and took down the wooden box, which was wet and sticky, only to see that a bottle was broken, and the pesticide seeped down. Director Wang asked me: Why do you put pesticides in the granary? I was stunned. I said: "The pesticide is placed in the pit under the eaves outside the warehouse, and the top is tightly covered with plastic sheet, and Comrade Chen Tonggui also knows it, and I don't know how the pesticide 'runs' to the warehouse shelf." ”

I know that 1059 is a highly toxic pesticide, how can I coexist with grain? It turned out that Chen Tonggui, the security officer, was afraid that someone would steal the 1059 pesticide and do bad things, so he moved the pesticide into the warehouse without authorization. Chen Tonggui took the initiative to take responsibility for the leadership, and I also reviewed my own dereliction of duty. Now that things have been figured out, it's not someone who is trying to sabotage it, and I'm relieved. Fortunately, the pesticides did not seep much, and the warehouse was repaired early, so if someone died, Chen Tonggui and I would have to go to prison!

For the pigs of the Dai nationality, after the veterinary treatment of the general field, they were safe and sound, and the poisoned workers were hospitalized and turned into safety. When I think about it, I still have lingering palpitations.

One day, I went to the county to hold a grain work conference, but who knew that something happened again: some production teams concealed output, withheld grain, and failed to truthfully report the figures to the production department of the field department. I hurried back and checked one by one, and found that there were three teams.

Captain He, who is in charge of production and life in the third team, kept the output down without telling the branch secretary, which is not counting, what is even more odious is that he poured the harvested buds into the team's pig stables in a big basket to feed the pigs, and the number is difficult to estimate. The third team is the main production team of bud grain, but the output reported is less than that of the first, second and fourth teams, which is a serious problem of fraud. I pointed out to the secretary of the third team: "It is impossible for you, as the branch secretary, not to know at all, there must be a ghost in this matter. "He just kept his word for it. It seems that they are at work because of the interests of small groups.

I went back to the field department to report on the investigation, and the field leader asked the finance department to deduct their rations accordingly. An on-site meeting was held in the three teams to criticize the inaction of the branch secretary and the loss of supervision, criticize Captain He for fraud, and announce the removal of Captain He's position and transfer from the three teams. Afterwards, the old workers of the third team said to me: "When I was in Hunan Province, the rural cadres were like this, the cadres were divided more privately, and no one dared to speak up, and if they spoke out, the members of the society would be deducted from their rations and have to pay money. ”

We listened to it and felt childish and funny.
