Chapter Twenty-Three: Returning Farmland ("138 Reading Books")

Time has entered the end of the ninety-ninth year, this year is a small harvest year for the Liu family, and the peaches have been sold for a total of fifteen miles! The whole family laughed from ear to ear.

On this day, the village party secretary held a stack of documents in his hand, hurriedly ran to Liu's house, and came to his grandfather, "Village chief, village chief, something is wrong, you see, this is the document issued by my superiors when I went to the town for a meeting today, and asked us to execute it, what should we do?" The village party secretary took out a handkerchief from his trouser pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Grandpa took the document in the hand of the village party secretary and read it, and a few bright red characters were printed in his eyes: returning farmland to forest, grandpa sighed: "This is not easy to do!" ”

"Yes, you see that most of the land in our village is mountainous land with slopes, and these are all within the scope of returning farmland, so if they are asked to return the cultivated land to plant forests, will they be willing?"

"So be it! Now come with me to the village radio room, and we will tell you the main contents of this document! Grandpa stood up and walked out quickly.

"Villagers, now an important notice, please listen carefully, now the state has issued a new rural policy: slope farmland with a slope of more than 25 degrees, including terraces, where soil erosion is serious, the construction of ecological forests should be implemented, and farmland should be returned to forests in the order of first steep slopes and then gentle slopes. Of course, the "government" also knows your difficulties, will give money and grain subsidies, we belong to the Yangtze River Basin, the grain subsidy per mu of returned farmland is 300 catties, cash per mu is 20 yuan per mu, and there are some seedling subsidies, if you have anything you need to know, you can come to my home, we will answer them one by one. ”

"Let's go, come with me to where I live, and a lot of people will come looking for us later." Grandpa said to the village party secretary

"Okay!"

The villagers had just listened to the radio, and they all stopped what they were doing, and everyone gathered together to talk about what they had just heard. Someone said, "If all the land is planted with trees, will the little money and food subsidized by the 'government' be enough?" What will we do after the subsidy is over? ”

"I don't know, didn't the radio say what kind of economic forests can be planted? I think that one can be sold. Another said

"I don't know if the barren mountains around our village count, but the old Liu family has planted so many fruit trees, and they can get a lot of subsidies this year! If that's the case, I don't know if we'll be able to wrap it! "There are people who think fast and pay attention to it in their hearts

"Don't speculate here, didn't the old village chief just say that there is something he doesn't understand, can we go to him? Let's take a look. Someone suggested

The people in the village came to Liu's house one after another, and they found that the old village chief and the branch secretary were here, so everyone asked nonsense, and the village party secretary yelled, "Everyone is quiet, and ask one by one, what is this 'chaos' coaxing like." ”

"Village chief, do you think we have to plant a forest? When will this subsidy be distributed? Someone asked

"The slope is more than 25 degrees, and although the 'government' says that everyone is willing to plant, shouldn't we also support the 'government' policy? The subsidy is paid for five to eight years. ”

"The village chief, can we eat from this forest? This land is not planted, in case the subsidy runs out in the future, won't we go hungry? ”

"In terms of policy, we can plant some economic forests, including fruit trees and the like, and some fast-growing "sexual" seedlings, like some poplar trees, these forests grow fast, and they can be cut down and sold for timber in the future.

"The village chief, do those barren mountains count?"

"Barren mountains are also counted, but let me make it clear to you, this return of farmland to forest is not a joke, if this is planted, the 'government' will send someone to accept it, if this can't be passed, this subsidy will not be issued." Grandpa glanced at the crowd around him

"Do you have any questions? If it's okay, go home and think about it, what do you want to plant if you don't plant it? If you want to cover the barren mountain tomorrow, you can also come to me. ”

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the village party secretary asked, "Village chief, how many people do you say will respond?" ”

"I don't know about this, but as long as someone takes the lead, I think there should be someone, and they don't know about the Liu family's fruit planting, and now that they have such an opportunity, why don't they do it? Hehe, branch secretary! Or you take the lead and go get a hill. Grandpa laughed

"Village chief, is this okay? What do you say I'm going to plant? Planting forests or fruit trees? The branch secretary looked at his grandfather meaningfully

"Branch secretary, you can plant fruit trees in this kind of forest, and if you plant peach trees, I think I can still help." Grandpa smiled

The village party secretary smiled and said, "Village chief, how about you say I grow peaches?" Isn't the old Liu family rich now? We won't have an opinion if we follow suit. ”

Grandpa patted Zhishu's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we can also help with this seedling and technology." ”

"Really? Thank you then! ”

"Jingle bell" A phone rang, this is the first half of the year, Liu Peng spent more than 2,000 to press the phone.

Grandpa picked up the phone, "Hello, who are you looking for?" ”

"Grandpa, I'm Xiaopeng!" Liu Peng's voice came from the phone

"Oh! It's Xiaopeng, call me now, what's the matter? ”

"Grandpa, I don't know if you received the news today? It is the policy of returning farmland to forests issued by the "government", which I have now seen in the newspaper at school, and we are going to start implementing this policy in this area. Liu Peng said hurriedly

"Hehe, we just explained this policy to the villagers, and you called about it?"

"Grandpa, I want to tell you something, that is, our family will wrap up the barren mountain opposite the village, but this time we won't plant fruit trees, this time we will plant forests."

"That's right, I'll tell your father, that's right, Xiaopeng, now that this policy is out, I think those villagers also have a mountain to plant peach trees, and we can't support it in terms of variety and technology." Grandpa asked

"Grandpa, you just look at it, and besides, it's a good thing that the villagers thought of planting fruit trees, which shows that their thinking is beginning to change slowly, and they are not so desperate to hold on to that one-third of an acre, we should support and support it." Liu Peng said on the other end of the phone

"Well, if someone wants to plant it tomorrow, I'll tell them, and I think their hearts will be much more solid. By the way, Xiaopeng, if you want to plant a tree like yours, what kind of tree should you plant? ”

There was silence on the phone for a while, and after a while, Liu Peng's voice came, saying: "Grandpa, I want to think about this matter, you can get the mountain down first, and then I will solve the matter of this seedling, I will learn more about it in the county, and see what seedlings the Forestry Bureau will provide." ”

"Okay, I'll leave it to me here, don't worry! That grandpa hung up the phone! ”

"Goodbye, grandpa!"

"Goodbye!"

Grandpa hung up the phone and said with a smile: "Xiaopeng called just now, also for this policy, he said that he would continue to pack some mountains, and he didn't have any opinion on the matter of this villager planting peaches." ”

"Really? That's good. The secretary smiled

"Dudu" Liu Peng took the phone and was stunned there for a while, thinking in his heart what should I plant?

"Hey! You can't fight yet! When I do not fight, trouble gives way. An impatient male voice came from behind

"I'm sorry! You fight! Liu Peng turned around and left the phone booth

Walking on the street, Liu Peng pondered in his heart, "What is good to plant in this forest?" Poplar? This is a fast-growing forest, not very good, Liu Peng denied it, it seems that he has to plant an ecological forest, this ecological forest can be planted with some "medicine" materials and the like in the future, but what is this good to plant? Liu Peng's head was too big, and he didn't come up with a reason, Liu Peng muttered: "Do you want to ask Su Lao, he was born in traditional Chinese medicine, and he knows what kind of environment 'medicine' likes to have, maybe he can give some advice to my Lin Zi?" ”

Liu Peng looked at his current location, adjusted his direction and walked towards Su's hometown.
