Time flies, and it is the end of the year in a blink of an eye.

"Good news, good news!" Niu boldly ran to the team headquarters, and the folds of his face were squeezed out.

Wang Chong, Ma Renli, and Ma Renlian sat around the square table in the middle of the meeting, checking this year's accounts.

"What's the good news?"

"Wan Chun said that there is a new secretary in the county, who just arrived yesterday, and he was specially transferred from the provincial capital from above, and it seems that Zhang Defu will not be able to come back even if he comes out." Niu Daring was really happy, and he couldn't hold back the smile on his face.

"That's a good thing!" Wang Zhong smiled and said: "As long as Zhang Defu, the-stirring stick, is gone, anyone can be replaced." ”

"Really?" Ma Renli was also very surprised, when he went to Shencheng, he was usually forced to be helpless, and he was usually roasted on the fire by Wang Chong and Niu Dada.

After all, Ma Renli's background is not good, Wang Chong and Niu boldly coaxed and scared, and forced Ma Renli to Liangshan and accompanied them to the provincial capital early in the morning.

Ma Renli didn't have much hope, but he simply didn't want to be too passive and wanted to fight, but he didn't expect the result to be unexpectedly smooth.

Wang Chongdao: "This is an inevitable result, okay, don't delay your efforts, finish the accounts as soon as possible, be bold, let's go to Secretary Zhou together in a few days." ”

"What are you looking for Secretary Zhou?" Niu asked boldly.

"Discuss with Secretary Zhou about the delivery of the package."

"Guaranteed delivery?" The other three people in the room were shocked and looked at Wang Chong in surprise.

"Isn't it good that we are doing this now, the enthusiasm of the villagers is not low, the oil mill and the fish pond are also operating well, and the sows are also piglets. Ma Renlian said what he thought from the bottom of his heart.

Niu Daring and Ma Renli fell into thought, and did not speak immediately. Wang Chongdao: "We are just barely able to eat enough now, but if we want the villagers to live a good life and want to eat meat every meal, can we not try a new method?" ”

"Wouldn't it be too rushed?" Ma Renli said a little timidly. Wang Chong ignored him and looked directly at Niu Daring: "Daring, what do you say?" ”

"I'll go with you!" Niu is much more bold. Wang Chong walked up to Niu Daring with a smile, put his arm on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Good brother! I was right! "Both of them are more than 100 years old.

Ma Renli and Ma Renlian glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. How could Wang Chong not guess the careful thinking of the two, and then said: "Don't worry, this matter is my idea alone, and the boldness was also fooled by me, it has nothing to do with the two of you, okay?" "In terms of courage, Niu Daring is indeed much better than Ma Renli and Ma Renlian.

Ma Renli is slightly better, smart, has a lot of reading, has the ability, his vision is not bad, and his key vision is vicious enough, Ma Renlian is much worse, but it seems that he is still very qualified as a tool man at present.

At least he won't do anything to disobey the yang and yin, play tricks, and be false and wronged with you on the surface, but quietly make small reports behind his back, and stab him secretly.

Three days later, Wang Chong and Niu boldly took a few cabbages, a net of radishes, and a bag of bean dregs fried from the oil residue in the oil mill and found Zhou Yihu.

"Take all these things back!" Zhou Yihu immediately said with a straight face, and Niu boldly looked sneering.

Wang Zhong explained: "Isn't our brigade a bumper harvest this year, a few cabbage radishes are not precious things, and this bag of bean dregs cake is also made of the oil residue left over from the oil mill, not a penny is spent, we take these, just to let you taste the taste!" Zhou Yihu's expression slowed slightly, and he looked at the oil paper bag: "Oil residue cake? Niu boldly immediately untied the rope, took out a piece, and handed it to Zhou Yihu: "Secretary Zhou, you taste it!" Zhou Yihu took a bite of the letter suspiciously, and snorted, just like eating a pot, it was very crispy, and Zhou Yihu's teeth could barely bite it: "It's harder." ”

"Mashed and soaked in hot water to eat tastes different, and it also quenches hunger!" Niu boldly smiled.

"Oh?" Zhou Yihu was a little curious. Niu boldly took the initiative to pick up Zhou Yihu's enamel tea jar, broke the oil residue cake, soaked it in hot water, and covered it: "Just wait a few minutes." Taking advantage of the time to wait, Zhou Yihu asked about the situation of this year's Maixiang Brigade for the New Year, and a few minutes later, after taking a sip of the freshly soaked oil residue cake water, Zhou Yihu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Not bad! It's fragrant, soft, and delicious! Zhou Yihu couldn't help but praise and looked at Wang Chong: "You kid made it up again, right?" ”

"I can't hide anything from you!" Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"I accepted the things, and I received the heart, but this is only one time in the future, and the next one will not be an example."

"Don't worry, next time you'll let us take us without it." Wang Chongdao.

"You kid, you're still so virtuous."

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, you won't go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's get down to business!" Zhou Yihu is not a fool, his heart is like a mirror, if it was okay, how could Wang Chong and Niu Dare come to him.

"Secretary Zhou, last time you took the working group to our brigade for investigation, didn't we talk a lot, there were too many people at that time, and I didn't dare to say some things too thoroughly." Wang Chongdao.

Zhou Yihu frowned: "Didn't dare to say it thoroughly? ”

"There's no one else here now, so tell me what else hasn't been explained?" Wang Chongdao: "Although the current work division system of our brigade has stimulated the enthusiasm of the villagers to a certain extent, at present, the production is not bad, but the cost of manpower, material resources and time invested in maintaining this labor division system is too high. ”

"And this kind of stimulation is limited, and the operation mode of our brigade is mainly based on the high prestige of me and Daring in the village, and there is mutual supervision between several stewards in our village, and everyone has no selfish intentions, but everyone is different, and the possibility of our model being replicated is too low."

"Go on!" Zhou Yihu said. Wang Chong and Niu boldly glanced at each other, and Niu boldly said: "Secretary Zhou, I have discussed with the big worm, and I want to apply for a pilot project in our brigade, try to contract the land to the team members, calculate it according to the household, and each household grows its own grain and collects it by itself." The food collected will be handed over to the country, kept enough for the collective, and the rest will be left to the team members themselves, so that the enthusiasm of the team members should definitely be stimulated to the maximum. ”

"Contracted to the door?"

"The ownership of the land is still the state or the collective, and the team members are only responsible for farming, and have no right to buy and sell."

"Sounds like it makes sense." Zhou Yihu tapped his fingers on the table, pondered for a moment, and then looked at the two and said, "But have you thought about it, in this way, what should those difficult households do?" In particular, the elderly who live alone, orphans and widows without husbands, and the disabled, some of whom do not even have a labor force. Niu boldly said: "The poor households will be subsidized by the brigade, and the grain will be released from the batch of grain left to the collective to ensure the rations of the poor households." ”

"I dare to guarantee that if we can achieve guaranteed production to households, as long as there are no natural disasters, we can produce at least 30% more grain than this year."

"Bold!" Zhou Yihu's gaze wandered back and forth between Wang Chong and Niu Daring: "It's good to have ideas, but I don't count if I say anything about this matter." Niu Daring was a little anxious: "Secretary Zhou, I can make a military order, if the output does not meet the requirements, you remove me!" ”

"Listen to me first!" Secretary Zhou hurriedly appeased Niu boldly and said: "I said that although it doesn't count, but I can apply to the province, and I will also tell you the truth, now the country's determination to reform agriculture is very strong, and the will to reform in the province is also very strong." ”

"Secretary Zhou, I thank you for the villagers!" Niu stood up boldly and excitedly, holding Zhou Yihu's hand, very excited.

"Before this matter comes to fruition, you must remember not to spread the word, now many of us up and down the thinking is still stuck in the past, they don't want to and dare not break the original system, if you want to do this, you can only start from the top." Zhou Yihu has been working in Qingze County for so many years, and he knows everything about his colleagues in the county, but he basically knows everything in his heart and knows the roots.

After bidding farewell to Zhou Yihu, Wang Chong and Niu Daring went straight back to the Maixiang brigade. On the way, Wang Chong's old god was there, with a calm appearance of clouds and light winds, but Niu was bold but the opposite, with a solemn expression and a heavy look.

Seeing Wang Zhong like this, Niu Daring felt a little uncomfortable in his heart: "Big worm, aren't you worried?" ”

"There's nothing to worry about." Wang Chongdao: "Tens of thousands of peasants and tens of thousands of workers in our country, we pay so much public grain every year, those who are officials, those workers, what they eat and drink, which is not flowing out of the hands of our peasants, but our peasants themselves are still hungry, and if the country wants to develop, the problem of peasants is a threshold that cannot be bypassed, and it is a serious problem that must be solved at present." Niu boldly said with deep understanding: "That's right, we farmers can't even eat enough, how can the country develop, if we all starve to death, so many land and water seeds, who will pay the public grain?" Wang Zhong said: "Now is not the past, the form of our country has changed, and the top is still thinking about our farmers, we farmers want to be fed and clothed, and it is a matter of time before the production is delivered to the household, even if it does not work this time, it will definitely be able to succeed in the future." ”

"It will definitely be done!" Listening to Wang Chong's firm tone, looking at Wang Chong's determined expression, Niu's bold gaze also became firm.

"I heard that there have been a lot of letters from your family recently?" Wang Chong changed the topic and asked about the recent disturbance in the team.

Niu nodded boldly, but did not speak. Wang Zhong glanced at Niu Daring, and said to himself: "This is your own business, it stands to reason that I shouldn't talk too much, but we have been brothers for so many years, and some things still have to be considered comprehensively, and we can't blindly connive and relaxed." ”

"Of course, it's your own business, and I'm suggesting it." Qiao Yue practices English at home every day, everyone lives close, and the backyards of the two families are even connected, sometimes they are busy working in the backyard, and when they are feeding chickens and pigs, they can occasionally hear Qiao Yue practicing speaking.

"But there's a question you've ever thought about! Qiao Yue's grandmother's house has long been empty, she followed Ma Renli all the way to us, it has been decades, her uncle is far away in the ugly country, across the vast sea, how did her uncle know that Qiao Yue was in our Maixiang brigade? Niu was stunned for a moment, obviously not thinking about this problem.

Then his eyes widened and he said, "Could it be that Qiao Yue has always known that her uncle is in the Ugly Country?" Wang shook his head and said, "Probably not!" ”

"When Qiao Yue came to us, the relationship between us and the ugly country was still bad, didn't there be a battle in the back, and Secretary Zhou's arms were all on the battlefield. The easing of relations between the two countries was still a few years ago, and Qiao Yue didn't have that condition even if she wanted to know. I mean, from Peking to us, after so many years, Qiao Yue and her uncle can still find Qiao Yue, it can be seen how much effort it took and how much effort it took to find Qiao Yue, I am afraid that it will not be as simple as just trying to find relatives. ”

"Hey!" Niu boldly sighed, his face showed a sad face, but he didn't say much, but he admired the king again in his heart, and he guessed eight or nine from ten only through the information of a scale and a half claw.

Wang re-patted Niu Bold on the shoulder,

"No matter what, you have to have a number in your mind." For Qiao Yue's affairs, Wang Chong really doesn't want to get involved, Qiao Yue is too selfish, she is a person who can abandon anything for herself, Ma Renli's life-saving grace, the love of husband and wife who have been together for decades, even her own son can be left alone.

But Niu Daring is an honest man, not long after he and Qiao Yue got married, they were almost not pinched to death by Qiao Yue, thanks to Wang Zhong and Ma Renlian helping Niu Daring beat him, and the two of them lived peacefully until now.

With Qiao Yue's temperament, she will definitely leave her husband and children to go to an ugly country. Jiang Hongguo brought the steaming mutton stuffed dumplings to the table, made a special dipping dish with chili oil for Wang Chong, and took it away, so he took off his apron and sat back on the kang.

"Malt, take out my half pot of daughter red!" Wang Chongcha made his own small padded jacket.

"Dad, what's the taste of rice wine?" The eldest son came over with a shy smile.

"Get out, and you, this is Zijin's filial piety to me, not for the two of you!" The prince next to him was shot while lying down.

"Daddy! Stingy, isn't it! "Wang Zi'an's face is much thicker than that of his brother.

"Two stinky boys, I don't know how to buy some good wine to honor me when I come back from Beiping, you are so old for nothing!" The brothers are not stupid, how could they not hear that Wang Chong was joking.

"Ignore your father, hurry up and eat!" Jiang Hongguo greeted his sons to eat with a smile on his face. Everyone couldn't wait for a long time, so they picked up the fast seeds and ate dumplings.

"It's still the best dumpling for my mother, I'm thinking about it in Beiping."

"When will my dear second brother also learn to shoot horses?"

"I'm talking from my heart, what a mustache to shoot the horse, go and go!" Brother and sister, how can there always be harmony, noisy is real.

"Okay, let's eat first!" Jiang Hongguo saw that the brother and sister were about to pinch it, so he hurriedly poured a basin of cold water on it, Jiang Hongguo's words were still very useful.

Wang Chong didn't drink it alone in the end, half a bottle of rice wine was divided among the family of five, except for the youngest Ziyu who couldn't drink because he was too young, the rest of the people barely got a cup.

Wang Chong is not an alcoholic, but some times worth celebrating, drinking a little wine, can indeed enhance the atmosphere.

"That's right! In a few days, the team will kill pigs, and both of you will go over to help! Wang Zhong said to his two sons.

"No problem!" Ziping and Zi'an's three views were well educated by Wang Chong.

"Kill pigs?" Wang Ziyan's eyes lit up instantly: "I'm going too!" ”

"I'll go too, I'll go!" Ziyu also shouted.

"Dad, how many pigs are we going to kill this year?" The prince approached Wang Zhong and asked curiously.

"The ones raised by our brigade are just little piglets, and these few pigs are still bought from other losses after your bold uncle ran for a few days, and there are only five of them."

"Our brigade has more than 200 people, more than 50 families, and more than a dozen families share one pig, and if one is calculated according to 200 catties, a family can have 20 catties!" The prince sighed.

"That's not what you counted!" Ziping said: "Two hundred catties is the weight of slaughter, and not all of them are two hundred catties, and then remove the internal organs, pig heads, hooves, and bones, a pig can produce six to seventy percent of the meat, maybe less." ”

"I forgot!" Zijin scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Dad, do we still want a pig's head and water?" Ziyu pulled Wang Zhong and asked.

"What, you want to eat pig's head?" Wang Zhong asked with a smile.

"Uh-huh!" Ziyu immediately nodded like pounding garlic, and her two big eyes shone brightly.

"Then our family still needs a pig's head and water!" Wang Chongdao.

"Daddy!" The prince said, "But I want to eat pork ribs." As he spoke, he counted with his fingers: "Braised pork ribs, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed pork ribs······" The snack seller next to him swallowed his saliva, held Wang Chong's hand tightly and refused to let go, both eyes were shining, just like a rabbit that saw a carrot.

"Then let's buy more and come back!" Wang Zhong smiled dumbly and rubbed Ziyu's little head dotingly.

This little daughter Wang Zhong really likes it, she is well-behaved and obedient, quiet and clever, and the key is smart.

"Daddy's the best!" The little padded jacket happily threw himself into Wang Chong's arms and was angry.

"Dad, what about the fish pond? Want to catch fish? Wang Ziyan's mind turned faster, and she looked at Wang Zhong expectantly.

"Is the little white strip in my waves going to come back out of the rivers and lakes?" Wang Zian teased with a smile.

"Go, go!" Wang Ziyan hurriedly pushed Zi'an beside him, and his eyes widened: "Who is the little white strip in the waves!" Zi'an pretended to be surprised: "Did I say that there is a little white strip in the waves?" ”

"Got it!" Zijin said: "Just now, Wang Zi'an, don't pretend to be garlic!" Even the prince, who has always spoken little, had a smile on his face.

Wang Zi'an said: "I don't know who was greedy to jump into the fish pond to catch fish, and he was ashamed to say that he had endless fun fighting with the ground, and when he was rescued by his father, his face was so pale and his stomach was ······."

"Wang Zi'an!" Before Wang Zi'an finished speaking, he was interrupted by the prince who stepped on his tail and let out a roar of a Hedong lion.

But before Wang Ziyan could attack, he was interrupted by a dry cough.

"Most people, what are you talking about, the real strong, you have to dare to face the miserable life, dare to face the dripping blood, who didn't do a little bit of lake mud when you were a child, you have to practice your qi cultivation kung fu again, otherwise when you finish your studies in the future, your heart and eyes smaller than the nose of a needle will have to be angry to death."

"Daddy!" The prince was not happy. Wang Chongdao: "What a stupid girl, if you are not angry in your heart, you can return a tooth for a tooth, and those who show their teeth and claws will only put themselves at a disadvantage, look at your second brother!" Wang Ziyan turned his head to look, and sure enough, Wang Zi'an couldn't close his mouth when he was smiling here, and he couldn't even care about eating the fragrant dumplings.
