"Captain, is there anything else that has been called for today's meeting?" Xiong Meng asked Qin Zhongliang.

"It's nothing else, I just want to get everyone together and discuss how to reclaim that abandoned piece of land." Qin Zhongliang replied to Xiong Meng.

"I don't participate in the division of that land, whoever wants to dig will dig it, whoever wants to plant it will plant it, and I will go back in advance!" With that, Xiong Meng left the venue.

"Wait a minute, everyone is also discussing a way, and it won't be long before there is a way to solve it." Qin Zhongliang kept Xiong Meng and insisted on ending the meeting for a while.

"You guys open it, I don't want a penny, can't you?" The bear jerked away without looking back.

"I don't want it either!" "I don't want it either!" Stone、Lotte said and left。

"The meeting hasn't ended yet! You ......" Qin Changgeng said to a few people who got up and left the venue, "It's too casual!" ”

"It's just that it's too casual, you have to stick to it until the meeting is dismissed!" Several people said it almost at the same time.

"Let's go, anyway, I said that I wouldn't participate in the division of that land. The rest of the people sign up now, and if there are as many people who are willing to plant this land, count the number of people and divide the land. Qin Baolian said, "Whoever wants to dig can dig whenever they want." ”

"I'm afraid that we have worked hard to dig it out, and if we plant crops and harvest, they will have to divide them again!" Qin Changgeng said to Zhongliang worriedly.

"It's fine. I said it at the beginning, no one said anything, for the sake of a little bit of wasteland, don't they talk about it? If that's the case, even talking children will scold them! Qin Zhongliang said to Qin Changgeng, "Don't worry, it's not that I didn't ask for their opinions." ”

"I'll dig a little and try." "I'll count it." "I'll count it too!" "I'll go home again and ask my wife if she wants me to do it." Those who were willing to dig up and plant all registered, and there were also those who couldn't make up their minds to go home to ask for advice, so Qin Bao helped the captain write down the heads of households and the number of people who signed up.

"Make a note of it for me, too." Zhang Xiaomei stood up and said.

"Qin Ming doesn't have time to do it at school, you ...... Can you do the heavy work? Qin Zhongliang said to Zhang Xiaomei suspiciously, "Divide the wasteland for a few people, don't do it in the back and overgrow grass in the front!" You should think about it again, anyway, the first two years may not be profitable. ”

"It's fine. Qin Ming can't do it, I'll do it. Isn't it just a family divided into three and two? I make sure to dig it up in the spring, plant it well, and let it have a harvest in the fall. Zhang Xiaomei confidently said to Qin Zhongliang and everyone present, "What! Isn't it just digging up a few tree roots, picking up the grass and turning the ground up, harder than the soil and sand you men dig up when you dig the river? ”

Many old men looked at Zhang Xiaomei with suspicious eyes.

"Since she thinks she can do this job, let's write it down for her." The captain said to Bao Lian beside him.

"You remember, if Qin Ming doesn't let her do it, aren't we a strong man?" Bao Lian whispered into Zhongliang's ear, "Didn't you see that she was pregnant?" What else are you doing! ”

Qin Zhongliang took the paper and pen with a smile and wrote: "The spirit is commendable, do your best, do as much as you can, if you can't dig well this year, you will continue to dig next year, the spirit of Yugong moving mountains is still valuable." ”

"Don't underestimate women, you can dig a share of your family, and I can also dig a share of our family!" Zhang Xiaomei didn't hear what the two of them said clearly, and said unconvinced.

After Zhang Xiaomei signed up, others thought that she was a pregnant woman with determination, thinking that the harvest after digging up was always extra, and she didn't want to share it with anyone, and she wrote it down one by one.

After verifying the number of people, the number of acres of land was divided by the number of people who participated in the excavation, and the results came out quickly, and Bao Lian said to Qin Zhongliang: "One point and two cents per person, it's divided like this." ”

"You're stupid enough, what are you doing like this, that piece of land is the same length from the east to the west, just divide the total width by the number of people, and multiply the number of people in each family. Isn't it possible to divide how wide someone's house should come out all at once, and then use a rigid way to measure the length of each household and then calculate? Qin Zhongliang suddenly thought of a simple division and said to Bao Lian.

"Who knew that the east and west entrances of the road are the same length!" Bao Lian said embarrassedly.

Qin Zhongliang took the tape measure and led everyone out of the venue to the wasteland in the southeast corner.

After the abandoned land was divided, everyone also thought that it was a dispensable thing and had no interest, and would rather a few people get together and chatter or play eight sheets or play eighty to kill time and wait for the next meal, rather than carry a spade to dig a spade or two spades, and keep talking about the division of the land.

"Who wants to make a fortune and don't get tired of digging it, maybe it's hard to dig it out, and I don't know if the income of the road is profitable, and it is taken back by the production team, so I won't do the thankless thing!" Qin Letian said.

"Didn't the captain say at the meeting, whoever digs will plant, whoever plants will harvest, and the production team will not take it back." Tie'er said.

"Say yes, do it, Qin Zhongliang is not a fool, let us open it first, and then return to the collective." Qin Letian stretched out his fingers and clenched his fists and said, "If you increase the output to surpass the best production team of our brigade, climb from the captain to the brigade and then become a deputy cadre, won't you have capital?" ”

"He can really get our team's production up, and everyone can eat most of the white bread and white rice, is there any harm to you? There's nothing to fool around! Qin Zhongliang was elected by our group, he can be trusted, and his thoughts are not so selfish! Bao Lian said, "I carry a shovel to the ground in the afternoon to try, if I can dig it, dig up frozen insect eggs around the Spring Festival, freeze the frozen soil, and plant peanuts or corn, sorghum, mung beans, and red taro in the spring of the next year. ”

"We'll go in the afternoon, let's go all the way." Da Leng said to Bao Lian.
