Along the way, people kept greeting Meng Douban, and Meng Douban kept translating, Hugo couldn't help but laugh: "Meng Douban, it seems that you are very popular here." ”

"Of course, I squatted on the ground with the villagers of Zhoujiazhuang back then." Meng Douban replied proudly, and asked, "What about my partners who stayed in China, do you know where they are going?" ”

Zhou Dali thought for a while and said: "Some have returned to China, and some have chosen to stay in China, but they are all in the city, holding important positions in factories, banks or schools, and they usually come back to get together with the villagers during the New Year's holidays. ”

"Great." Meng Douban whistled happily and asked again, "Why are there only so few people in your village?" ”

Zhou Dali replied casually: "The Agricultural Bank of China gave a loan to the village to buy a tractor, and it doesn't take so many people to farm, and those who have the ability have gone to the city to work, and the rest of those who have no ability like me have no ability, so they stay at home to take care of the agricultural company, then, a canning factory over there is also a company, and my daughter-in-law works as an accountant in it, with a salary of four yuan a month."

And I am responsible for the maintenance and use of the tractor, and then also raise pigs, the monthly income is about five yuan, my wife collects Zhuangzi garbage, occasionally weaves some handicrafts such as baskets and sells them in the city, and earns about 30 yuan a year.

There is also a share dividend at the end of the year, like our family, we took seven acres of land into shares, an average of 20 yuan a year, and the family's food and clothing accounted for about two-thirds of the total income, and after a busy year, there was a balance of about 50 yuan. ”

"Oh?" Meng Douban was very surprised, Zhou Dali's family had an annual income of 158 yuan, which was equivalent to about 38 pounds, which was slightly higher than the family income of ordinary workers who had increased their wages after the British Revolution. In particular, he knew that the property here belonged to him, and most of the British workers needed to rent a house, and the situation in France was similar to that in the UK, so doesn't this mean that the Chinese peasants are more comfortable than the European workers?

Meng Douban felt a little unacceptable, and he came to Zhoujiazhuang to stow at that time. In addition to the land protection family, most people here rarely eat a full meal all year round, although he knows that Zhoujiazhuang has changed a lot, but he didn't expect that the big one was beyond his expectations, this is a step into a well-off!

Meng Douban told the situation with a surprised face, and everyone looked around again in disbelief, the village was paved with hard and flat cement roads. Although the ground is not spotless, there is no clutter, and gradually, a big black dog not far away attracts everyone's attention, holding a bone stick and gnawing Huan!

This black dog, fat and big, glanced lazily at Meng Douban and the others, and then gnawed slowly again.

"Oh~~ My God! Even gnawing bones is so elegant. This is the most elegant dog I have ever seen! Don't the dogs here have to wander? Hugo's lover Juliet patted his chest and said, "Meng Douban, Zhoujiazhuang's wealth is unimaginable. What about his family's income level? ”

Meng Douban asked Zhou Dali back.

Zhou Dali smiled: "There are hundreds of families in the village, and our family is medium, and some have lower incomes than us, but no matter what, it is not a problem to mix food and clothing, and there are some whose incomes are much higher than ours." All of them are the top management of the company.

Anyway, our family is less than the above, more than the bottom, at least there is no need to worry about survival, and there is no need to worry about the government urging food and taxes, because the tax money is not much. It is paid by the company in a unified manner, and we ordinary people have little to do with it, dozens of dollars saved every year, if the children have interest, you can use this money to send them to study abroad, see the world, and return to China will have better development, of course, if the child is mediocre, then keep it to marry a daughter-in-law.

I still remember that when the Democratic League army was very weak at the beginning, they came to our village to repair the bombed-up ridges and left us a small amount of food, I don't know what it was like in your foreign countries, but in China, there has never been an army that has been so selfless to the people.

At that time, I saw that the Democratic Alliance Army would take the world, but I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly, and the days would have reached a point where I didn't dare to think about it a few years ago! ”

Zhou Dali's face was full of happiness and satisfaction, and with unconcealable gratitude, indeed, many people do not have lofty ideals, and they will not compare with the rich, as long as the life can be said to be passable, they are very satisfied.

Meng Douban was also in a trance, when he was the commander of the British, French and American alliances, he was ambushed in Zhoujiazhuang, in a blink of an eye, seven years have passed, and everything that happened seven years ago is still vivid.

Sighed secretly, after Meng Douban's translation, everyone has mixed feelings, whether a country is rich or not, not mainly depends on the city, the city is naturally rich and rich, it is difficult to think about prosperity, on the other hand, we must take into account the countryside, the countryside is the foundation of the country, only when the countryside is rich, the foundation of the country will be consolidated.

This is really hiding the wealth from the people, not all the wealth in the hands of the powerful.

Emma didn't go out much, but Hugo and Juliet's footsteps have almost traveled all over the world, even the United Kingdom, which is known as the world's first power, and the workers with the same level of income as the farmers in Zhoujiazhuang can only feed on black bread, because the price of goods in Britain is much higher than in China, and there are still many slums in the cities, not to mention the farmers, the income of British farmers is definitely not up to the level of Zhoujiazhuang.

The rest of France, Prussia, Austria, Sardinia, and even Britain are incomparable, and as for India, Vietnam and other colonial countries in Southeast Asia, the living conditions of ordinary people are almost hell.

In these countries, there is an extreme differentiation between the rich and the poor, and in China, the problem of the differentiation between the rich and the poor can only be regarded as relative poverty, along the way, although many villages are not as good as Zhoujiazhuang, but there are almost no poor people in a state of extreme poverty, even if there are, it is also due to disability, disease and other non-human factors to poverty, for this part of the people, there will be a minimum living guarantee from the government.

Feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart, Meng Douban pointed to the cement pools and asked, "Mr. Dali, what are these for?" ”

"Oh~~ the biogas digester you said!" Zhou Dali introduced: "This is by the provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences to help us get, mainly to collect rice bellflower and human and animal manure, after fermentation, can generate biogas, about every cubic meter of space can generate four to eight cubic meters of biogas per day, and a cubic meter of biogas combustion produces a calorific value equivalent to 700 grams of high-quality anthracite, he produces waste residue can also be used as fertilizer."

We now use biogas in the whole village, which is convenient and clean, and completely bids farewell to the smoky era of cooking by fire, because biogas is a one-time investment, amortized in installments, so in the long run, it is more economical than burning coal and firewood, and if the company is not enough, it can also apply for a loan from the Agricultural Bank.
