After this Yuan Quan finished saying a lot of words to mobilize everyone, he also bowed deeply to the people of Tashan Village before sitting on the chair again.

After he finished speaking, the village chief took the lead in applauding, "Okay, that's great, the people of our mountain village must respond to the call of the country and enthusiastically hand over the grain." ”

I can't get used to the village chief's sycophancy, it's all at this time, why are you still so obsessed. But Yuan Quan's words did move some people, especially those hot-blooded young people, so after the village chief finished speaking, a young man carrying a bag of hemp was the first to come out to hand over the grain.

But the delivery process was not very smooth.

After the first young man weighed all the grain, when he was about to load the truck, Yuan Quan shouted: "Wait." ”

A few staff members next to him put the sack back on the ground, Yuan Quan stood up from the chair again, walked to the side of the sack, grabbed a handful of rice and looked at it, and said: "It seems that everyone is a real person, and they all take new rice to hand over grain, but we must conscientiously implement and implement the national documents, the document issued by the state says that the 200 catties of grain collected this time refer to the grain that does not need to be reprocessed, and the rice you hand over needs to be processed twice, and you need to go to the rice husk to eat, so hand over the rice, It has to be converted into rice.

100 catties of rice out of more than 70 catties of rice, even if we are 80 catties, the country will suffer a little loss, if you pay rice, you will have to pay 285 catties of rice per mu, and the queue behind them have calculated the number of catties by themselves! ”

The villagers who were surrounding him and were about to hand over the grain heard him, and the enthusiasm that had just been aroused was like being poured a basin of cold water. Completely extinguished.

This is to pay more food, there was a small commotion in the crowd, and the hot-blooded young man who paid the food first was also dumbfounded. His family has 8 acres of paddy fields. The rice that was just handed over was 1,600 catties, and if it was handed over, it would be necessary to pay another 680 catties of rice. That's a year's worth of food for two people. His family's harvest this year was not good, and this time they have to remove half of the grain, so how will their seven people live next year.

There are several families in the crowd who have harvested more than 300 catties of rice per mu this year, and if they calculate it in this way, their families will have less than 100 catties of rice left per mu. Less than 80 catties of rice, how can this be enough for a whole family.

The village chief saw that there was a commotion among the villagers and hurried out to pacify them. "What's wrong with the big guy, the people in the government are not wrong, people collect food, and we will hand over the food. Didn't I tell you yesterday? Now is the most difficult time for the country, there are many people in the city who have no food to eat, the state will collect our food, and then go to help those who need more help, we are at home by the mountains and waters, how can we not starve to death, everyone will reach out to help those who are still in a desperate situation. Maybe it's the extra pounds of food you hand over that saved the lives of several more people. ”

"The village chief. It's not that we don't have love and don't support government work, but you also have to see how much grain we have collected, less than 400 catties of rice have been harvested per mu, and they will take nearly 300 catties with this mouth, and then we have to keep next year's seeds, and the rest is not enough for us to eat. We want to save more people, but we can't starve ourselves to death, so who will farm the land next year and pay food to the country. "It was Zhang Fanyu who spoke, and his family's harvest this year was not good.

"That's it, this still doesn't let people live, it took Bali to plant for half a year, and only harvested more than 400 catties of rice per acre, as soon as your upper lip and lower lip touched, you wanted to take away half of the grain, which didn't let us live, this is trying to force our family to death."

"That's it, that's it, the village chief, you started to say that you would pay 200 catties of rice, we thought, if this grain can really save a few people, we can be regarded as doing a good thing, everyone's heart is flesh, if we have that ability, we definitely can't bear to watch others starve to death. Half of this grain is paid, and half is left, so it is barely enough for a year's rations, it is really not good, so I don't eat dry, and I can deal with it until next year if I drink some thin food, we can just plant it next year, but if we really want to pay 285 catties per mu, then we really can't even drink porridge. ”

The villagers are saying the most truthful words, if each mu is taken away by the government 300 catties, then the villagers really don't have much left, if the family population is large, this year's own rations will not be enough.

The village chief was also very embarrassed, he also knew that it was a little difficult for the villagers to hand over so much food, he and Yuan Quan whispered a few words, and Yuan Quan shook his head again and again as if he was embarrassed.

In the end, Yuan Quan stood up again and said: "Everyone, I know that it is difficult for everyone to pay so much food, but the state is so stipulated, and I can't help it." But we can think of other ways, in fact, the state does not require everyone to pay this year's new grain, these are for disaster relief, as long as you can eat, so you can take out the old grain left from previous years and hand it over. ”

He thinks that he has thought about everyone very much, as long as it is food, there is no need to pay new food.

The people below don't think so.

"How can there be old grain, the grain produced every year used to be enough for the family to keep a year's ration, and the rest is sold. We didn't sell grain last year, and that was because there was no grain to sell, and we had a drought in the past two years, and less than half of the grain was produced, which was enough for our own family to eat, so now there is not much old grain at home. An old man squatting on the ground said.

His words resonated with everyone present.

This time, the work of handing over the grain was cut off again, and no one was taking the grain to hand it in, and the young man who handed it in first also carried the grain back to the corner.

The village chief had no choice, so he came out to do work for the villagers again, so that the villagers could support the work of the state. The villagers all shook their heads vigorously, saying that it was okay to hand over grain to the state to save people, but they didn't have so much rice to hand in, so they couldn't starve themselves to death, so they should go to others.

The village chief mobilized for a long time, but no one came out to deliver food. Yuan Quan was a little anxious, and he couldn't sit still in the chair, probably because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to harvest food today, so he urged the village chief to find a way.

The village chief stood in the courtyard and smoked a bag of dry tobacco, thought about it, and walked directly in front of Jiang Zhi and said, "Jiang Zhi, you take the lead, this year, your family is planting land that is not old and young, and the grain harvested is also indispensable, your family food should be enough to eat." ”

I can hear it, the village chief has something to say.

The cultivated land recorded by all the villagers in our village is the paddy fields of each family, and the other dry fields reclaimed in other villages are all private personal behaviors, and they have not applied for land certificates, which is illegal, so from the beginning, the village chief has not mentioned this matter, and he also hopes that everyone can pay less food.

Now when I say this to Jiang Zhi, I may think that our family has reclaimed the most wasteland this year, and produced more grain, so I want our family to take the lead, and if someone pays it first, it will be easier for the villagers in the back.

Jiang Zhi also heard the meaning of his words, and said brightly: "Okay, our family will pay first." However, the grain we took was not enough, it was prepared according to 200 catties of rice per acre, you wait, I will go home and get it again. ”

After speaking, Jiang Zhi beckoned Li Cheng and Li Shanqing, pushed the tricycle, and prepared to go home to get food again.

Yuan Quan and the village chief were relieved to hear Jiang Zhi agreeing so happily, this first step was taken, and it would be easy to do it later. But seeing that Jiang Zhi pushed away the food bag on the tricycle again, he hurriedly got up.

"Hey, you don't have to take away the food, you just go home and get the ones that aren't enough." The village chief shouted behind Jiang Zhi.

We ignored him and pushed the tricycles in a row and came out of the village committee compound.

In fact, I don't understand Jiang Zhi's intention to do this, don't you have to push these grains back after pushing them home for a while? He followed him and asked, "Why did you push this grain back?" ”

"Didn't you say that you only need to pay 200 catties of grain, then we won't pay rice, it's too troublesome for them to husk when they harvest it, and the grain we grow is not just rice." Jiang Zhi pushed the tricycle and replied.

This year, our family planted a lot of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn on the newly opened wasteland, and the yield was good. One of the best is sweet potato, although our adults and children love to eat, but they can't eat so much, so now it's really okay to use sweet potatoes instead of rice to hand them in.

But I thought of another question, "Old Jiang, do you think our family's newly opened land should be paid for grain?" "Our family has 26 acres of land, which everyone knows, and we can't hide it if we want to.

"It is estimated that there is no need to pay, our village has dry land, but not only our family, each family basically has a little, but not as much as our family, so neat, and it is also reclaimed by itself, in the past, the official did not investigate the people, and now a fool will say that other people's families have dry land, so don't they also sell their own homes."

And even if you hand it over to us, we're not afraid, at most we can hand over some sweet potatoes or something, and we can't finish eating these. ”

"I don't want to give them if I can't finish eating, they say it well, and they will go to the disaster relief after receiving the food, but I doubt that how much of this food can really be delivered to the victims, and it will not all go into the pockets of those ** officials. We have done a lot of work to grow these lands, and we must not cheapen them. "I am a small farmer, and I feel distressed when I think about giving the food I have worked so hard to grow to others.

Jiang Zhi looked at my calculating appearance, so he smiled and said, "Okay, we will hand over the 10 acres of paddy fields, and we will not hand over the newly opened land." My daughter-in-law is right, that is, we can't finish eating and don't give it to them, those are the fruits of my daughter-in-law's hard work. ”

When I heard that Jiang Zhi was teasing me, I was still very happy.

When they got home, they beckoned Li Cheng and Li Shanqing to the cellar to put 2,000 catties of sweet potatoes up, put them on the tricycle, and then returned to the village committee. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to M. to read. )
