Early the next morning, Li Xiangyang came to Yang Dingbang's house, and the two went to the Public Security Bureau together to drive a truck and parked it in front of Lin Lan's house.

The uncles of the Yang family all went to Yang Dingbang's house and helped move the usable furniture, as well as the jars and jars, into the car.

Lin Lan and Yang Liying helped the old lady put the chickens, ducks, and geese into cages and put them in the car.

The old lady looked at the old house where she had lived for decades and reluctantly wiped her tears.

Yang Dingbang stepped forward on crutches and hugged the old lady: "Don't be sad, Yucai Road is not far from here, you are homesick, let's come back and see." He paused, and continued, "The chickens and ducks are loaded into the truck, and there are chicken coops, duck circles, goose pens, and vegetable gardens over there, and you live the same over there as here!" ”

The old lady wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at him and smiled: "Okay! Grandma is not sad, grandma is happy, I didn't expect to go to the small western-style building where the rich man lives, raise chickens and ducks and grow side dishes. ”

"That's it, let's go to the small western-style building to grow vegetables!" Yang Dingbang saw the old lady smile and breathed a sigh of relief.

Leaning on crutches, he helped the old lady towards the train.

He Xianghua and a few uncles stood in the carriage, holding on to a few large pieces of furniture.

Li Xiangyang led the old lady into the cab of the truck, and then got into the car with Yang Dingbang, and he went to the driver's seat and sat down.

The old lady said to Lin Lan and the people who saw her off, "Let's go first, and you come later." ”

"I know my uncle!" Everyone laughed and waved.

Li Xiangyang waved at Lin Lan, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

After Yang Dingbang and the others left, Yang Meihua sent the old pumpkin she received when she returned to her parents' house in the past few days to Lin Lan's house.

Yang Meihua went back this time and collected a total of more than 1,000 catties of old pumpkins.

Lin Lan estimated in her heart that these pumpkins could be used at most until the beginning of spring, and before the pumpkins came out in the next season, the pumpkins, the raw materials for making pumpkin pies, had to rely on Lin Guoliang and them to collect them from Shilian.

Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang helped Yang Dingbang move in the morning, and when they came back from the stall in the afternoon, the family went to Yang Liying's house to eat again, and spent Saturday in a busy situation.

On December 31, the Liu family held a wedding wine for Liu Jinbao to ask for a wife, and the woman's dowry was also sent to the Liu family.

Sun Xiuhua looked at the dowry, her face sank, and she almost scolded.

Liu Jinbao had no scruples, pointed to a few bedding and a few porcelain basins, and turned his face on the spot, scolding the woman's family for selling their daughter instead of marrying their daughter.

The woman looked at Liu Jinbao and said that if it weren't for the money and things, a second-rate son like him would only be a single.

Liu Jinbao jumped eight feet high, if it weren't for Liu Guozhi stopping the two families, they would have fought.

On the same day, the people on the team spread, saying that Liu Jinbao's family gave hundreds of gifts alone, as well as three turns and one ring, and the new daughter-in-law married a few bedding when she entered the door, and she didn't even have a decent piece of furniture to marry.

The woman said that the girl looked good, she still graduated from junior high school, and her parents raised her, and the money and three turns were kept to honor her parents.

Liu Jinbao quarreled for the woman to withdraw the dowry and divorce the woman, but was suppressed by Liu Guozhi.

On New Year's Day, the Liu family still put on the wedding wine and handled the marriage.

****

In the blink of an eye, 79 years have passed. Lin Lan ushered in her second year in another world, 1980.

On the morning of January 2, the municipal government sent a working group to preside over the delivery of production to households, and together with the leaders of the commune, they went to a small team of the Lexing Brigade to preside over the implementation of the household responsibility system.

The leaders of the working group and the commune, the cadres of the brigade, the representatives of the second and third squads, as well as the representatives of the construction brigade and other production teams, the cadres of the brigade, and the representatives of the members of the commune sat together in the conference room of the Lexing brigade. A small team conducted a pilot, and they came to observe and learn.

The conference room is about the same size as an elementary school classroom, and the layout inside is similar to that of a classroom, with a large blackboard, a row of wooden tables, and rows of benches.

The bench was already full of a small team of heads of households and members, the second team, the third team and some members of the construction team, and all the members who could not enter the venue crowded out of the doors and windows to watch.

Lin Lan sat with Yang Liying and Yang Meihua and listened to the comrades of the working group read out a lot of documents, especially the importance and benefits of the household responsibility system.

Lin Lan listened and remembered that she had to pay the public grain twice a year in the past, one season of rapeseed and one season of rice, the rice should be dried to the driest, the bite was crunchy, there could be no sand and gravel, and there could be no impurities, the particles were full and golden in color, there was no grain of deflated, and there was no trace of peculiar smell.

Rapeseed should be dry, plump and free of impurities to be considered a qualified public grain.

Half of the public grain handed over was to be used for agricultural taxes, and half was handed over to the state free of charge.

Lin Lan remembered that the four members of the family did not have their own fields, but more than four acres of fields, and they had to hand over thousands of catties of rice, a few sacks of rapeseed, and an extra hundred and ten catties of grain each time to prevent trouble.

Hand in the best food, and keep the second for yourself.

The yield of hybrid rice is high, and the yield per mu of good rice is 1,000 catties, and the yield of conventional rice is low, and the yield of good rice is about 7 or 800 catties. This is still an area with good soil quality in Pingba, and the area with poor land cannot reach this yield.

It is not easy to hand over the public grain, the public grain handed over is to be graded, and the grain pulled to the grain station, not all can pass the inspection, once the grain inspector says that the grain is not qualified, can only be pulled home, and sent to the grain station to hand over the grain after drying again.

Some members' homes are too far away from the commune grain station, and it is particularly inconvenient to go back and forth for a few days, so they can only choose to dry in the grain station dam.

At that time, the staff of the grain station had the absolute right to control the members who handed over the public grain, and they had a full sense of superiority in the face of the members who handed over the public grain.

Fortunately, my parents have flexible brains, and every time they pay the public grain, they quietly stuff a bag of cigarettes in the past, and they can pass every time, and if they are lucky, they can be rated as first-class food.

Lin Lan will never forget the staff of the grain station, especially in the face of those honest members, the arrogant and commanding attitude is no different from Huang Shiren's treatment of tenants in the movie.

Now in the 80s, there are still more than 20 years to go before the exemption of agricultural taxes, retention and miscellaneous fees.

In the past 20 years or so, peasants have to pay agricultural taxes every year and pay more and more miscellaneous expenses.

Thinking of this, Lin Lan suddenly didn't want this rural hukou, and the food was not expensive, wouldn't it be nice to make money to buy food?

"Lin Lan, Liu Guozhi has begun to speak on stage!" Yang Liying said and turned her around, "What are you thinking, you didn't hear the shouting!" ”

Lin Lan came to her senses: "I'm distracted!" ”

Yang Meihua lowered her voice and joked with a smile in her eyes: "You didn't fall asleep with your eyes open just now, right?" ”

Lin Lan shook her head with a smile: "I'm thinking about things!" Listen to what Liu Guozhi said! ”

Yang Meihua nodded, and everyone looked at the stage.
