After Cao Yang hid, he picked up the pillow and threw it over again: "You Zhong Yuemin are so awesome, I can't shamelessly ask for food. Our family has been poor for five generations and has never begged for food. We have always relied on our own efforts and we can't embarrass our ancestors."
Zhao Dayong also said: "My grandfather used to carry a big man, and my father drove a rickshaw, and later became a boss. They all relied on their strength to make a living. No matter how poor they were, they never had to beg for food."
Zhong Yuemin was upset by what they said. In fact, the words of Cao Yang and Zhao Dayong were full of contempt, which made him panic and embarrassed.
Jiang Hua asked: "Yuemin, do you know why you want to be a beggar?"
Zhong Yuemin hadn't spoken yet, but a baby voice sounded: "Why?"
It turned out to be Xiao Ning Wei, who poked his head out from under the quilt and asked curiously.
Jiang Hua patted his little head and said, "Why aren't you sleeping yet? Children don't get enough sleep and they won't be able to grow up in the future."
*Ning Wei shook his little head and said: "You are all talking, how can I sleep? Brother Hua Zi, you haven't said why yet, why does Zhong Yuemin want to be a beggar?"
"Ning Wei, remember, if someone suddenly has an absurd and uninhibited idea, it can only mean that this guy is full. If he has been starved for three days, he guarantees that he will not have such ideas."
"oh."
Ning Wei heard the meaning of Jiang Hua's joke, put his little head under the quilt, and continued to watch his brothers joking.
"The ancestors had no choice. They had no knowledge and no organizational care, so they had no choice but to beg for food. We have advantages that they did not have. If we go begging for food, we cannot afford to lose that person."
Zhong Yuemin even muttered: "I'm just curious and want to try it."
"There is an old saying that goes well. If you have been a beggar for three years, you will not be replaced by the emperor. Why? You don't have to worry about it. It will kill your fighting spirit and you will have no ambition at all. If you get used to it, you will be finished."
Jiang Hua didn't know whether Zhong Yuemin heard it, because no one spoke in the room at this time, and after a while, snoring started to sound.
When I woke up the next day, life went on as usual. Secretary Chang assigned work. When he went to the fields every day, the villagers were like laborers, and the young people had a tendency to learn bad things.
Five days, it was just a blink of an eye. After five days of observation, the young people got together again and prepared to work together to contribute to the construction of Ishikawa Village.
Each person holds a small notebook with a photo of the reading leader on the cover, and each person holds a pen.
"It's been five days. How have you been observing? What insights can you share? What suggestions can you boldly make? Even if it is inappropriate, no one is allowed to say a word outside this door."
This matter must be done up front, otherwise the responsibility will not be clear, which can cost people's lives.
"Okay."*8
Only Ning Wei did not express his position. He was still a child and had no rights for the time being. He was only qualified to observe.
Jiang Biyun looked at the little notebook she had written and said: "I found that the children in the village do not go to school. They spend all day long, except helping the family with some work within their ability, and the rest of the time they play crazy. This is not good."
Wang Hong interjected: "We can help the children in the village become literate. Although we are also students ourselves, it should be more than enough to teach these children."
Jiang Hua looked at the people next to him and said: "I agree with this point of view. Now we will vote by a show of hands. If you agree, please raise your hands."
When he saw that it passed unanimously, he said to Zheng Tong: Today, you should be a clerk first and write down this suggestion."
Zheng Tong muttered: "I don't let you eat a lot of food, but I am quite good at assigning people. Okay, who told me, Zheng Tong, to be an intellectual?"
Zheng Tong helplessly picked up the small notebook and began to record it bit by bit.
Cao Yang raised his hand and said: "I found that the retting fertilizer in our village is just retting human and animal excrement. There is too little. Can the mud, weeds, etc. in the river also be retting?"
The others looked at each other in confusion. They had never heard of such a thing, but Jiang Hua warned: "Zheng Tong has memorized this, but how to use weeds for retting, we need to check the information carefully, it is very useful."
Zheng Tong said: "I found that Mr. Du in the village raised sheep, but the vegetation here is not lush, so raising sheep seems to be half the result with twice the effort."
Zhao Dayong echoed: "Yes, there isn't much green on the loess soil, and raising sheep really doesn't produce much."
Everyone put forward several suggestions, and Zheng Tong recorded them all. If these problems are solved, it can really help the village solve many problems.
Zhong Yuemin looked at Jiang Hua, who was presiding over the meeting, and said, "Brother, if you don't ask a single question about your proposal, it's unjustifiable."
Jiang Hua closed the notebook and said, "Of course, I found a lot of problems."
"First, our village mainly grows corn and wheat. Although the output of these two items is okay, after paying the public grain, everyone will have nothing left. This is mainly because there is not much land in the village.
When the time comes, we should use our subjective initiative to use the corners and corners, in front of and behind the house, to plant something with a large yield that can fill our stomachs, such as potatoes, pumpkins, etc. Although it cannot be scaled, it can solve part of the ration problem.
It’s also good.”
Zheng Tong was writing furiously at this time, recording every word of Jiang Hua's words.
"Second, the problem of retting that Cao Yang just talked about. I thought of a small animal, the earthworm. This thing seems inconspicuous, but it can improve the land. If it is raised in the retting pile, it can also speed up the fermentation of the retting and breed it.
The earthworms also have other uses."
"Third, there is the problem of raising sheep that Zheng Tong just mentioned. Raising sheep is indeed twice the result with half the effort, but once we breed earthworms, we can use earthworms to raise chickens, completely abandoning the inefficient business of raising sheep, and use earthworms to raise chickens.
Introducing and raising chickens will make them grow faster and lay more eggs, so it is definitely a good business."
Zhong Yuemin said: "It seems to make sense, but I don't know if it will work."
Jiang Hua smiled and said, "If it works, please report it to the branch secretary first, and then check the information. You will know if it works when you start working on it. If you really want to do it well, you have done a lot of good deeds."
Everyone laughed. You can't say this outside. It's just a joke here.
Zheng Tong closed the note, Jiang Hua took it over, raised it and said: "Tomorrow, I, Yuemin and Jiang Biyun will go to the party secretary to discuss it and see if you have any opinions."
Everyone agreed, and Jiang Hua finally said concludingly: "Okay, that's it for today's symposium. Generally speaking, it is still very successful. In the future, this tradition will be maintained, and now we will have a good time.
"
Everyone laughed at the same time, but did not forget to applaud themselves. The applause added a bit of joy to these two small cave dwellings.
