Chapter 12: The Future of the Village
Through the window, Ye Chen saw his father fighting like a man, and said in his mother's ear with a smile: "Dad finally raised his eyebrows." ”
Lu Chunfang, who had suffered Li Xiulan's white eyes, also smiled and said: "Your father has lived half his life, but it can be regarded as giving me a face." ”
Just when the mother and son were in a good mood, Ye Jianguo at the door shouted to Li Xiulan: "Do you want a little more love!" I think you are trying to squeeze your father and mother dry, and you want to force them to revise their ancestral teachings. ”
"Big brother, what kind of wind are you smoking, why do you slander the filial piety of the two of us so much."
"In 83, my second child and I worked outside, and we both earned fifty-five cents.
As a result, within a day, the second child said that the old lady wanted to buy New Year's goods with money, so I made another one.
As a result, my mother didn't eat my filial piety, and it was all digested by your family of three. ”
Li Xiulan quibbled: "That's the old lady who sees that our family is young and has a long body, so what's not to do." ”
"What about the pair of jade bracelets after the old lady died? Dad didn't find it for a long time, so he buried the old lady empty-handed. You dare say you didn't do it! ”
Listening to his father's count of the second aunt, Ye Chen seemed to have heard some big news.
I squeezed the window and pricked up my ears, for fear that I would miss some important details.
"Big brother, you wronged me, I haven't done that thing."
"It doesn't matter if you have done it, or if you haven't done it. Anyway, the father and the old lady are gone, and there is no proof of death.
In the future, you and the second child, the two of you will do it after you have calculated it. I can't care about him for the rest of my life, he should grow up. ”
Hearing this, Ye Chen felt a trace of inexplicable sadness.
The words that my father counted before were just a spitting out of the depression in his heart for all these years.
The last sentence stated that it was not easy for him to be a big brother over the years.
Li Xiulan saw that she couldn't bargain, so she went to the chicken coop and took out two eggs and took them away.
Lu Chunfang taunted Li Xiulan through the window, "You said how thick-skinned this person is, it's really a thief." ”
"I think after today's incident, the second uncle's family will no longer embarrass my father."
"Xiao Chen. You said that your grandparents have spirits in heaven, will they agree with us to do this? ”
Facing Lu Chunfang's question, Ye Chen shook his head.
Taking the broom back to the house, Ye Jianguo picked up the debris on the ground, "Just talk about it, I don't know who is used to it when she smashes things." ”
"Dad, I think you're very different today."
Ye Jianguo looked back at Lu Chunfang and asked with a smile, "What's the difference?" ”
"I can't say it either, I just think you raised your head today."
Ye Jianguo was confused when he heard it.
Ye Chen's words broke, "Mother wants to say that my father finally straightened his chest and became a man today, completely breaking away from the bitter sea of the second uncle's family." ”
Ye Jianguo sneered: "It's long overdue, I used to think too much about it." ”
Xia Kang took the broom in his father's hand, and Ye Chen cleaned it up in twos and threes.
"It's not early, you guys have a good rest. I'll go back to my room first. ”
"Good. Then you go to bed early, and don't be late for work tomorrow morning. ”
Ye Chen should get down and exit the house.
The autumn leaves of the evening breeze fell on Ye Chen's shoulders, and a hint of coolness hit, as if to herald the coming of winter.
The temperature plummeted that night, and when I woke up in the morning to wash, I saw a thin layer of ice crystals floating on the water.
"Dad, it's only the middle of October, why is this water cold?"
Ye Jianguo also felt that the weather was abnormal, and his fingers were dipped in the cold water in the basin, which was unbearable.
"I'm afraid the weather is going to change. Let's go, go to the village office. ”
The two didn't have time to eat breakfast, so they hurried to the village office.
I saw Chen Jiefang in a hurry and took a group of villagers to carry the rice harvested in the field.
Ye Jianguo stood at the door to help, "Have you collected everything in the field?" ”
"It's all taken up."
After Chen Jiefang finished moving the last bundle of rice, he took out a towel and whipped the dust on his body.
"This year's solar term has been advanced by two days, and if this batch of late rice is harvested a little later, it may all freeze to death in the ground."
Ye Jianguo took two slices of baked steamed buns from the stove and gave them to Ye Chen, "Don't say it yet." Xiao Chen's vigilance is stronger than mine.
In the morning he said that the water in the well was frozen, and I didn't take it seriously. I rushed over to find out that I almost missed a big event. ”
Ye Chen was stunned, he didn't understand what his father meant by this, and he almost choked on the roasted steamed bun in his mouth.
Bringing the pickle gnocchi, Chen Jiefang said with a smile: "Okay." That Xiaochen can take over my shift in the future. ”
Ye Chen hurriedly explained: "Don't don't, I didn't think about taking your two classes." I have my own plans, and you are not allowed to kidnap me. ”
Ye Jianguo, who had just been freed from moral kidnapping, grabbed Chen Jiefang's arm after hearing Ye Chen's words, stopped what he was about to say, and continued to bury his head in breakfast.
After the meal, Ye Chen spent a morning taking stock of the bad accounts in the village.
Erased the labor slogans on the small blackboard, and used chalk to divide several areas, filling in the many problems facing the village at the moment.
Chen Jiefang called the backbone of the village, and each of them brought a small bench to sit and wait for the explanation.
Ye Jianguo recounted from the side and listened carefully.
"Taohua Village is vast and sparsely populated, and the per capita arable land at its disposal is limited, and there are only a few acres of land on each family. In this case, I would like to suggest a way for you to refer to. ”
"It is to manage Taohua Village as an enterprise, relying on the collective land, barren mountains and wasteland of the village, and the villagers of each household in the village are employees, and multiple departments are opened to run the village together."
"Of course, during this process, I will sign an equity agreement with the big guy in the name of the village.
That is, how much I have shares, how much shares the village has, and how many shares the villagers have.
After a year of operation, everyone will share dividends according to the proportion of the profitable money. ”
The village backbone who was listening raised his hand, "Officer Ye, if you concentrate on the development of all the land in the village, how can you ensure the livelihood of the villagers." ”
"When it comes to security, all the villagers who work in the village enterprises get a salary every month.
Elderly villagers will be given a subsistence allowance and food per person according to the capita, so that these elderly people can rely on and support the elderly. ”
Hearing Ye Chen's plan, Chen Jiefang seemed to see a good day in the village.
Ye Jianguo stopped his pen and said with tears in his eyes: "Xiaochen, what you just said counts?" ”
Ye Chen swore to the people present: "As long as everyone is willing to do what I say, within three years, the village will definitely be a different scene." ”
"So what are we going to do? What to do first? ”
Putting down the chalk in his hand, Ye Chen rubbed his hands, "What are you going to do first?" I think the big guys will go back to solicit public opinion first, and then let's summarize everyone's opinions before deciding on the next step. ”
Chen Jiefang got up and faced the backbone of the village, "The big guy will go back to do the work of the left and right neighbors first, convey the spirit of the village, and in a few days, we will hold a villager meeting to vote together." ”
"Okay, listen to the village chief."
Everyone dispersed, and Chen Jiefang faced Ye Chen, "Big nephew, what else do you have to add here?" ”
Ye Chen took out a piece of straw paper from his pocket and handed it to Chen Jiefang, "I have made a list, and I must find someone to handle this before winter." ”
