When Wang Manyin returned to the sheep's tail ditch, he only shouted, "Good guy!"

It's just outrageous, outrageous—outrageous!

He far underestimated Wang Manjun's boldness. Not only did this man call all the male laborers of a team to dig up the keel, but even many mothers-in-law and aunts joined in.

Fortunately, Wang Lianshun had the foresight to occupy a cliff ditch with the most abundant resources. Otherwise, such a large group of people rushed up, and there was really no way to reason.

Today's harvest is also not small, and when I go home in the evening, I have loaded two donkey carts full of earth keels.

On the third day, people from Shuangshui Village also rushed to hear the news. Wang Manyin also saw the figure of the old father-in-law in it, and he waved his head very energetically.

By the afternoon, the members who had stayed behind in Ishikawa Village had also received the news. They marched more than ten miles on foot, carrying pickaxes to join the team of digging earth keels.

Of course, these people came too late, and the good places were already occupied, so they could only be found along the corners and corners.

In addition, there are people from Shibijie Village......

In short, the entire cliff ditch has completely become a large construction site.

Everywhere was full of people's voices, and large piles of red cement were splashed at the bottom of the cliff ditch. It saved the second team the effort of digging, and later it could be directly carried up with a flat pole.

Two or three hundred people dug caves together, and the scene was almost disorderly. Wang Manyin was worried throughout the whole process, for fear that if someone accidentally dug up the mountain, it would be a big accident.

Fortunately, not all red clay layers have fossil distribution, and people can't dig up soil keels, so they will constantly change their positions.

So most of the caves were not dug too deep, and nothing happened.

The second team of Jar Village started the earliest and occupied the most resource-rich area, and of course gained the most. In a week, the entire fossil layer was almost dug up, and more than 3,000 catties were dug up.

The main first two days of harvest are large.

As more and more people came to dig the keel from the surrounding villages, the number was much smaller in the next few days, and only more than 1,000 catties were dug.

In the end, dozens of people were busy for half a day, and they could only dig up a few pieces.

Seeing this, Wang Lianshun decisively ended the operation.

The team over there probably dug more than 1,000 catties, and the rest of Shuangshui Village and Ishikawa Village did not have a big harvest, at most a few hundred catties.

Rao is so, and for these laborers, it is also a great gain.

Wang Lianshun originally planned to use the village donkey cart to transport the soil keel to the supply and marketing cooperatives in several trips to sell it, but after Wang Manyin contacted him, things became simpler.

The other party directly sent several carriages to the door, and weighed and issued tickets on the spot.

In fact, the current operation mode of supply and marketing cooperatives is quite flexible, and in many cases, they will also organize people to serve in the villages.

The price is the same as before, and the earth keel is divided into several grades. Keels with teeth are the most expensive, followed by others......

More than 3,000 catties, and finally sold for more than 1,560 yuan. For the second team, it is a huge amount of money.

The other team also sold a few hundred yuan.

In fact, strictly speaking, their behavior this time can be regarded as a side hustle. However, the nature of this collective act is somewhat vague, and the duration is short, so it has not been stopped by the relevant personnel.

After the money arrived, Wang Lianshun did not let people wait. With a wave of his hand, all the laborers who participated in the excavation of the earth keel were paid five cents a day, and another seventy cents were counted.

….

Although it was only ten yuan per person, it also made the family excited...... At least this year, there is no shortage of money to eat salt and buy kerosene.

After the chicken plague, the dark clouds that shrouded the sky over the jar village finally dispersed.

***

After dinner in the evening, Wang Manyin said hello to the orchid, and then swayed towards Wang Lianshun's house.

When the construction site was finished in the afternoon, the other party specially explained that he would find a few people to have a small meeting in the evening.

After so many things, Wang Manyin is definitely a figure in the second team now, and he is naturally indispensable for meetings.

When Wang Lianshun's house took a look, Wang Manyin found that Xie Gong was also present

。

It seems that tonight's meeting is also related to the construction of the earth dam.

Sure enough, after everyone arrived, Wang Lianshun cleared his throat and went straight to the point.

"The earth-rock dam of our second team was built soon, and now we are facing a new problem, that is, how to store water. The first idea was to wait for the summer floods to break out, and we would just be able to stop the dam. In that case, there will be no way to grow rice in the future, only a crop of winter wheat after autumn. In addition, there is also the matter of fish farming, I am afraid that it will have to be retreated. A few months before the Chinese New Year, the weather is cold and the fish are growing slowly, so we can only wait until next spring to make plans."

Hearing each other's narration, many people fell into a state of contemplation.

Growing rice is a new thing, and they think a little too much about it in advance. Just one irrigation problem is annoying.

Wang Manyin had considered this matter in advance. However, he didn't say it right away, but wanted to see what else everyone had in mind.

"My idea is to plant rice early and make early profits, and not wait for the harvest to be harvested in the autumn.

Go back and ask the village party secretary to go to the commune to run the relationship and help us borrow a pumping machine. By the way, you can check if there are any problems with the newly built dam......

"But Xie Gong and Liu Xiangyang have different opinions. They said that we need a lot of water during the rice filling period, and we can't always borrow the pumping machine from the commune, so it's better for the second team to buy a set of pumping equipment."

"How much does a pumping unit cost?" Wang Manyin pointed to the root of the matter.

As an expert in water conservancy, Xie Shouzheng knows these things well. He immediately replied, "Pumps are not expensive, only a few hundred dollars. However, it is not enough to have a pumping machine, it is necessary to have relevant supporting facilities, such as diesel power engines and generator sets...... That's three or four thousand dollars."

"What? Three or four thousand! Xie Gong, you really dare to say that the dividends of our second team last year were not so much...... What are we going to buy?" After hearing this, Wang Fugui shook his head again and again, and the whole person almost jumped up from the kang.

A few days ago, he earned more than 1,000 yuan from selling soil keels, and he originally thought that the second team would finally be able to have a prosperous year this year, and the score of the work might reach six or seven cents, and it would be regarded as putting a small satellite within the scope of the Shibi Festival.

As a result, the money is not yet hot, and it has to be spent again. And according to Xie Gong's plan, the hole will be even bigger in the future.

"Uncle Fugui, you can't just calculate the economic accounts, you should also consider the benefits of the pumping machine. In times of drought, other crops can be watered. The climate of our Loess Plateau has nine dry years in ten years. In previous years, when the drought saw that there was water in the Dongla River, it could only flow in vain...... If you have a pumping machine, it can definitely come in handy." At this time, Liu Xiangyang retorted loudly.

….

Hearing this, Wang Fugui hesitated.

To say, this pumping machine is a really good thing. Due to the lack of labor of the second team, when there was a drought in previous years, those plots on the plateau had to be abandoned.

Just a few pieces of irrigated land in the Sichuan Road are relatively close to the Dongla River, so the members can be organized to carry water to fight drought and barely harvest some crops.

If there is a pumping machine, if there is a big drought in the year, the villagers will definitely be able to share more food.

"I admit that the pump is a good thing, but the key is that we still have three thousand dollars left, where can we find it? There's no earth keel digging now."

"Then take out a loan!" Wang Manyin directly said what he had been hiding in his heart.

He had long understood the relevant policies, and in this era, there were people who were very good and rural cooperative credit cooperatives could provide loans to rural areas.

Moreover, the loan conditions are particularly lenient, not only for large groups, but even for individuals.

In those days, farmers did not have commercial housing, so the mortgage conditions required for loans were very simple: "It can be all the farmland that the members benefit from as security, and if necessary, it can also be guaranteed by the production team to which they belong."

Read the terms carefully to figure out the twists and turns...... To put it bluntly, this is actually an unsecured loan.

The so-called "income farmland as security" refers to the food rations that farmers receive from the production team for a year. This process of distributing grain does not need to go through credit unions at all, so it can be collected steadily in your own granary.

As for the year-end dividend...... There are a lot of overspendings in the production team.

However, what surprised Wang Manyin was that many peasants on the Loess Plateau would rather go hungry than have a penny at home or take out a loan from a bank.

Their idea is very simple, they have no money, and they can't pay it back after taking out a loan.

Wang Manyin has seen too many *** old men in later generations.

Many of these old men believe that "the one who owes money is the uncle", and even if he has money, he is not willing to pay it back.

On the other hand, the peasants of this era can only be said to be too honest and dare not take advantage of the opportunity.

It's really not ...... Then it's not on yet, and it's impossible to give you a credit report.

Few people know that in fact, banks in this era have a hidden welfare rule: every few years, they will take the initiative to clear some old loans that cannot be repaid, and issue loan forgiveness (exempt losses are subsidized by bank policy).

To put it simply, if the peasants can't pay it, the bank won't want the money.

Even so, few farmers on the Loess Plateau are willing to take out loans.

Wang Manyin has seen relevant information in later generations, and in this regard, southerners are more courageous.

The materials show that the credit cooperatives of a certain commune alone exempted nearly 10,000 peasant households from loans of 170,000 yuan from the Poor Peasants' Cooperative Fund in one year. Among them, more than 1 million yuan of loans for collective agriculture and fishery and tens of thousands of yuan for loans for social enterprises have also been exempted......

After more than ten years, the large collective was disbanded, and many production teams left a pile of bad debts to the bank. In the end, the same is gone......

In other words, if the second team of Jar Village sincerely wants to be a liar, this account can be dragged on forever and rotten and not repaid.

However, this was too wrong, Wang Manyin didn't dare to tell Wang Lianshun and them.

"Loan, what are we going to pay back? Besides, are the credit unions willing to lend?" Wang Fugui began to pour cold water again. I always feel that if I borrow a few thousand yuan at a time, I will definitely not be able to get it.

"If you don't try, you know, what if it happens." Without waiting for Wang Manyin's interface, Liu Xiangyang also said loudly. Young people are bold and more willing to fight. What's more, he also wants to take advantage of this matter to go further.

"Then let's send someone tomorrow to ask?" Wang Lianshun hesitated and said.

With a loan of several thousand yuan at a time, he is also a little weak-hearted, and he doesn't know when he will be able to repay it.
