In early 1978, the whole world began to wake up. Some people could no longer suppress their turbulent hearts and stood at the forefront of this great trend.
On this day, Wang Lidong was sleeping soundly when a loud cry "woo woo woo" sounded outside the house, mixed with the choking sounds of two little babies.
＊￣WORK￣
He opened his eyes and looked at the sky outside the window. It was dark without any light. He took the alarm clock on the bedside and looked at the time. It was just after 2 a.m.
An old man's voice sounded outside the house, "Lanhua, what happened?"
In the middle of the night, what kind of trouble was the eldest sister doing? Wang Lidong turned his head and looked at his precious daughter. One-year-old Tangtang was sleeping soundly. Runye was also woken up by the crying and whispered, "Brother Shao'an, don't be
Did something happen at eldest sister’s house?”
Wang Lidong sat up and whispered, "You can continue to sleep. I'll go out and take a look."
"Let's go together." Runye stood up, lit the lantern, and helped the baby re-cover the loosened quilt.
The two of them quietly walked out of the cave and came to the brightly lit dining room. Except for the old lady and the little girl who went to high school in the county, everyone in the family was here.
The eldest sister Lan Hua hugged Mao Dan and Goudan and burst into tears. Wang Lidong asked, "Sister, has my brother-in-law been arrested again?"
In the past few years, Wang Manyin has been selling pork with him and has made a lot of money. The family eats meat all the time, and the second-rate man only smokes cigarettes for 0.49 yuan a pack. Sister Mudan is finally proud and proud. When she returns to her parents' home, she straightens her back and speaks much louder.
.
As the saying goes: I hate you for having, laugh at you for not having, despise you for being poor, and fear that you are rich!
There are many people in Guan Guan Village eating black-faced steamed buns, and there are quite a few who are jealous of Wang Manyin. Every now and then, someone secretly goes to the commune to report him for "stealing the chicken but not the whole lot."
However, Wang Manyin was a professional second-rate, and his soles were very slippery, so he was caught twice with both people and stolen goods.
When the eldest sister Lanhua saw her eldest brother, she cried loudly, grabbed his arm and said, "Shaoan, your brother-in-law is gone."
The second-rate brother-in-law is dead?!
Wang Lidong asked in surprise, "How did you die? Wasn't it fine today and yesterday afternoon?"
The eldest sister Lanhua hurriedly explained, "Your brother-in-law is not dead, he just went out for a walk."
Wang Lidong rolled his eyes, then why are you crying? He is just going back to his old business. This situation has been expected by him. In the past six months, the second-rate man has been very careless about business and often asks for leave. As a result, he can only go to the ghost market in the middle of the night.
sales
For this reason, he also told the eldest sister to hide the money well. Even if the second-rate man disappears one day, he can still live comfortably with money in his hand. "Sister, the money has not been taken away, has it?"
The eldest sister lowered her head and choked with sobs, "Only forty-three yuan is left, and the rest are gone."
In the past few years, my husband has made a lot of money by reselling pork and pigs with his eldest brother. In addition, she has made a lot of money raising pigs in the past few years, and she has saved a total of more than 2,700 yuan.
Sun Shaoping cursed loudly, "These second-rate people are still not human! They want to starve the eldest sister and the cats and dogs to death."
Wang Lidong snorted coldly, "Aren't we still there to support you? How can you be hungry?"
Shaoping asked, "Where did the second-rate guy go? When did he leave?"
The eldest sister sobbed and said, "I don't know either. I waited and waited for your brother-in-law to come home at night, so I went to all the friends' houses where he often went to look for him, but they all said he wasn't there.
I also went to the commune and the police station in Mijia Town, but there was no sign of your brother-in-law.
I just looked through the place where I kept the money and found a note inside, which was left by your brother-in-law, saying that he was going to the south to do big business."
Wang Lidong pulled out a bench, sat down, took out a cigarette, lit one, and took two puffs. Looking at the crying eldest sister and the red-eyed cat and dog, he thought to himself, who can he blame?
!
In the past two years, he and his eldest sister had told him several times to hide all the money they earned. Don't let Wang Manyin know where to hide it. If you are worried, just leave it with the old man.
As for his second-rate brother-in-law, his heart is as high as the sky, and he always feels that he is a capable person. If it hadn't been for the strict control outside in recent years, he would have escaped long ago. How could he be willing to stay in Shigejie Commune and rely on him to breathe.
As is the nature of a second-rate person, he will never go home until he has squandered more than 2,000 yuan.
poor person must have something mean!
The old man Sun Yu said kindly, "Shaoan, can you ask someone to find this wandering ghost?"
Wang Lidong spread his hands and said, "According to what the eldest sister said, the second-rate man has already planned it. If he left yesterday morning, he would be either in Huangyuan City or in the provincial capital. They are both cities with millions of people. How can we find him?"
The eldest sister cried, "It's so chaotic outside now. Man Yin hasn't been out for many years. What should I do if I meet a bad person?"
Wang Lidong almost lost his temper. This eldest sister was hopeless!
Love it!
He said, "Sister, you and Maodan Goudan will stay in the utility room for the night. When you get up tomorrow morning, we will discuss the future affairs together."
After settling down the eldest sister and her family, everyone returned to their respective rooms.
In the morning, after breakfast, the family discussed the future life of eldest sister Lanhua.
Shaoping said, "Sister, I will stop farming from now on, and focus on taking care of the pigs at home. If I raise four or five pigs, I will have a harvest of five to six hundred yuan a year, and my life will not be worse than before. If I encounter any strenuous work or difficulty,
Just ask someone to come back with a message, and my eldest brother and I will go over and help you."
The old man thought for a while and said, "How much do the two pigs at home weigh now?"
The eldest sister lowered her head and said, "I just sold it the day before yesterday."
Damn it!
Wang Manyin, a second-rate guy, was too fucked up. He was sure that his family would lend a helping hand.
Everyone immediately criticized the second-rate man verbally and in writing for ten minutes.
Mao Dan and Gou Dan sat next to the old lady, with their heads lowered and silent.
Sun Yuhou, an old man, took two puffs of dry cigarettes, stood up and left the dining room. After a while, he returned to the house and handed a stack of big sticks in his hand to his eldest daughter, "Take these two hundred yuan and buy a few as soon as you get back."
Little pig, buy some rations, buy the rest some sorghum rice, and ask Shaoan to go over and help you prepare pig feed."
Lanhua took the money and nodded.
Run Ye packed another large bag of white flour and a few skewers of bacon for the eldest sister. After the eldest sister left with the cat and dog eggs, Run Ye asked, "Brother Shao'an, what will happen to our pork in the future?"
Wang Lidong said, "Zheng Ce has changed now. If it weren't for taking care of my eldest sister's family, I would stop collecting pork from the beginning of the year and charge money instead."
Run Ye felt relieved and put her precious daughter into the man's hand, "It's too late. I'm going to school. You can send Tangtang to my mother."
"Well, ride more slowly on the road." Wang Lidong took the baby, took the medicine kit, and rode on the bay-red horse to his father-in-law's house. His mother-in-law had been waiting at the gate for a long time. She said happily when she saw her granddaughter, "Little Tangtang."
When Tangtang saw her grandma, she waved her little hands, "Grandma, grandma."
The mother-in-law smiled and took her granddaughter from her son-in-law, "Where's Run Ye?"
Wang Lidong briefly talked about the affairs of his eldest sister's family. After hearing this, his mother-in-law sighed, "Why did Lan Hua end up with such a second-rate guy?" She didn't care for her eldest sister Lan Hua, but it was not convenient to say anything about other people's family affairs.
"Young Anwa, come inside and sit down. Your dad has something to do with you."
"What's up?"
The mother-in-law's face became a little ugly and she said, "Since the senior officials came to inspect our village, your dad has always wanted to do something big. I discussed it with your second dad for a long time yesterday."
At this time, the father-in-law Tian Futang walked out of the cave, took the granddaughter from his wife, kissed her twice, and then tied her up with a beard. Little Tangtang laughed "hahaha" and danced, looking very happy.
"Okay, okay. Don't hurt Tangtang. Don't you want to talk to Shaoan about something?" The mother-in-law snatched the little baby and carried it into the cave.
Wang Lidong took out his cigarette and scattered one, "Dad, Mom said you have something to do with me?"
Tian Futang sat on the millstone in the yard, sniffed the incense and said, "Shaoan, the county issued a document the day before yesterday, calling on everyone to carry out farmland infrastructure construction this winter and next spring.
When senior officials from the capital inspected our village last month, they also encouraged our village to vigorously develop agriculture and animal husbandry. However, the land in our village has many good fields that can be cultivated, and the rest is wasteland that is not suitable for growing food.
Your second dad and I discussed it all night yesterday, and your second dad came up with a good idea."
"What's the idea?"
"Use explosives to blow down half of the Shenxian Mountain and Miaoping Mountain and build a dam. Then the entire Wailing River will be transformed into a rice river. In the next two years, our village's food output will definitely increase several times."
The more he talked, the more excited he became, thinking that the grain output of Shuangshui Village in two or three years would not only exceed the target, but might even cross the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, putting a big show in front of the people of the county, the city, and even the province.
'satellite'
In the mid-to-late 1970s, my country's grain output was as follows: 400 kilograms/mu; crossing the Yellow River was 600 kilograms/mu; crossing the Yangtze River was 800 kilograms/mu. By then, the name of Shuangshui Village will surely spread throughout the country, and so will Tian Futang. Will become a person like 'Yong Gui' and be interviewed by the big boss
Wang Lidong moved the PG back to avoid being splashed by spittle. After his father-in-law finished speaking, he said, "Dad, the idea is very bold, but the cost of blowing up the mountain is not cheap."
Tian Futang waved his hand, very much like a township chief, "We have calculated that we need about five or six thousand kilograms of explosives, which can be exchanged with the grain in the warehouse or with the pigs in the brigade. The village can still provide this amount of money.
Got up."
Wang Lidong said, "Dad, when we build a dam on the Dongla River, we have to use sacks to hold mud. A dam built with just a pile of loess will collapse after a few heavy rains, let alone a flood. When the time comes, you
This commander-in-chief has become a big joke. The prestige that I have built up over the past few years will be gone."
Tian Futang thought about it for a moment, and then became frightened. What his son-in-law said was absolutely right. He cursed the dog-headed military commander Sun Yuting in his heart. He didn't expect such a big loophole. It would take a long time to make the dam more reliable.
A lot of money.
Wang Lidong said, "This is a good idea, but the construction of the dam cannot be decided on the head. Experts need to be invited to conduct on-site inspections and then design a plan."
"Experts?" Tian Futang said, "Our commune does not have experts in this field. We have to hire them from the county."
Wang Lidong said, "It's better to go to the city to invite him. It's safer."
Tian Futang said, "Inside the city? There is not only one dam, but many dams have been built in our county over the years."
Wang Lidong said, "Dad, if this thing comes to pass, it will be a great thing for our Shuangshui Village. So we must do it more carefully. If something goes wrong, the impact will be too big. Our village is not short of this money now."
.”
The mother-in-law also said, "His father, Shao Anwa, is right. Our village is now a pilot village, so we can't make any mistakes, otherwise it will harm Fu Jun."
Tian Futang nodded immediately, "I will go to the county in the afternoon and ask Fujun to help find experts."
The mother-in-law said, "Dad, if you want to blow up the Immortal Mountain, there are several families living in front of the mountain."
Tian Futang said, "Move them all. The village will help them build new kilns. This matter is our Shuangshui Village's century-old plan. Anyone who dares to disagree is the enemy of all the villagers in Shuangshui Village."
Wang Lidong almost rolled his eyes, my father-in-law would really pay the maximum salary limit.
Seeing that his son-in-law had no objections, Tian Futang immediately said happily, "When the dam is completed, our village's food supply will definitely increase several times, and we will strive to exceed the output of Dazhai."
Wang Lidong poured cold water and said, "Dad, we are asked to learn from Dazhai. We are not just looking at the output, but also the spirit of self-reliance and hard work of the Dazhai people.
Unless there is a breakthrough increase in the grain output of our village, such as a thousand kilograms per mu, otherwise the incident of mountain bombing will at most spread to the county, and even the city will not pay attention. In recent years, capable people have emerged in large numbers, and all parts of the country are better than ours.
There are quite a few people making this noise, but have you ever seen any publicity in the newspapers?
We all over the world have always only valued ‘number one’, number one, first, and leader. As for second and third, few people pay attention to it.”
Tian Futang immediately thought of his deputy, deputy party secretary Jin Junshan, who was ranked below him and the second-oldest man in a thousand years. However, the power of the two people was very different. He was just a decoration in Shuangshui Village.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! His face immediately turned ugly. He made such a big move and couldn't even get out of Yuanxi County?
Wang Lidong took a puff of smoke and said, "If you want to have a greater impact, there is a way."
Tian Futang hurriedly asked, "What can we do?"
Wang Lidong coughed twice, "Dad, do you know Lei Fen is here?"
Tian Futang shook his head.
Wang Lidong said nothing and just stared at his father-in-law quietly.
Tian Futang was a little confused at first. His son-in-law kept staring at him. After a while, he understood what his son-in-law meant. If he wanted to be famous, he would definitely not be able to do it alive. He had to meet the bearded man to have a chance. His face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot. I am only over fifty, and I haven’t even met my grandson yet.
Seeing that his father-in-law was about to get angry, Wang Lidong hurriedly said, "Dad, please listen to what I have to say before you scold me."
Now there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you seize it, you will definitely be able to go to Beijing and be interviewed." He said and gave a thumbs up. "This person will interview you."
Tian Futang looked unbelieving. They both disliked each other. Given such a good opportunity, his son-in-law would kindly leave it to him.
Wang Lidong said, "Dad, this matter must be done by someone of your status to be useful."
Tian Futang asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
Wang Lidong lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and said, "Dad, if you want to get excess returns, you need to stake all your wealth."
Tian Futang trembled, "Is it very risky?"
Wang Lidong nodded, "If you lose, the whole family will have to go out to seek education, and maybe even eat peanuts. If it succeeds, then our Shuangshui Village will definitely be recorded in the annals of history, and the three words Tian Futang will definitely appear in the history."
Entering the history?
Tian Futang couldn't help but tremble, and the fire in his chest burst out of Tianling Gai, but when he thought of the first half of the sentence, he heard a "stab" and a basin of cold water almost put out the fire.
He took the match, lit the cigarette in his hand with a slight trembling, looked at his son-in-law and said, "What on earth is going on?"
Wang Lidong whispered, "Divide the fields and work alone, and guarantee the output to each household."
Cough cough cough!
After a violent cough, Tian Futang's dark face flushed red, "Shaoan, you are asking me to make a big mistake. This is denying our country's economic system and taking the road of root causes. What a bad idea you have!"
Wang Lidong said, "Dad, why do our villages prefer raising pigs to farming in recent years?"
Tian Futang said, "You can make a lot of money by raising pigs."
Wang Lidong said, "If one day Zheng Ce changes and no longer allows private pigs to be raised, and all pigs are collectively owned, do you think everyone's enthusiasm will be as high as it is now?"
This is not nonsense.
Tian Fugao remembers that when he was a child, when the fields were still in the hands of each family, the grain yield per mu was more than 30% higher than now. If all pigs were raised collectively, the results would be self-evident.
Wang Lidong asked, "Recently, in the county communes, there are more and more small businessmen and hawkers, and the 'stealing chickens' are not being caught strictly enough?"
Tian Futang has never paid attention to this aspect. Now that he thinks about it, this is indeed the case. When he went to the commune for a meeting recently, he emphasized the resumption of production and so on.
Wang Lidong pointed to the sky and said, "The direction of the wind has changed. The trend in the past two years has become more and more obvious. In the final analysis, poverty is not something that a bearded man pays attention to."
Tian Futang chewed on his son-in-law's last sentence. The more he thought about it, the more it made sense!
Wang Lidong said, "Dad, don't miss this opportunity. If you miss it, you will never have such a good opportunity in this life."
Tian Futang hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't make a decision. The risk was too great, "I want to ask your Uncle Fujun's opinion on this matter."
Wang Lidong nodded.
Tian Futang said, "I'm going to the county right now in the afternoon, so I can talk about the dam building."
"The document of Sihai Radio points out that the autonomy of the production team should be respected; the implementation of the distribution according to work system allows the production team to establish different production responsibility systems according to different farm tasks."
Tian Futang, who was in front of the radio, was extremely regretful and wanted to slap himself a dozen times.
There was once a huge achievement placed in front of him, but he didn't cherish it
Half a year ago, when his son-in-law proposed to him the idea of household responsibility for household production, he went to the county seat to discuss it with his younger brother Fu Jun, but it was all in vain. His younger brother was transferred to the province. The matter was delayed like this, and he did not expect that there would be no one.
In the past month, I heard that there was a village in Bai Province who dared to be the first in the world and allocated land.
This incident caused a big fuss. At that time, many elders criticized Xiaogang Village by name. At that time, he felt that he was lucky and had great fortune. Fortunately, he did not listen to his son-in-law's slander.
Unexpectedly, the trend has changed so quickly, and the chief executive has publicly spoken out in support of Xiaogang Village’s ‘household responsibility system’
I really regret it. If I had listened to my son-in-law, wouldn't I be the second 'Yonggui' now?
well!
Runye's mother was waiting for her precious granddaughter to take a nap. When she saw her husband sighing, she asked strangely, "Dad, what's wrong?"
"I'm going out." Tian Futang put on his sunglasses and walked out of the yard, then walked to Sun Yuting's house.
When He Fengying saw it was the Party Secretary, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Party Secretary, are you looking for Yuting?"
"Well. Is Yuting here?"
When Sun Yuting heard Tian Futang's voice, he jumped off the kang, put on his worn shoes, and came to the yard, "Party Secretary, are you looking for me?"
Tian Futang looked at his two confidants. Their clothes were in tatters and their shoes were patched several times. He said angrily, "You two, why are you still living in such a panic? Our village is like a 'half-brain'."
The clothes Tian Er wears are better than those of you two."
The couple laughed a bit, and Sun Yuting helped the party secretary sit on the millstone, "Secretary party secretary, are you looking for me to know about the matter of blowing up the mountain?"
Tian Futang took out a cigarette and gave it to Yu Ting. He took a cigarette and sniffed it. He sighed and said, "The world is about to change."
Sun Yuting took the cigarette and lit it, "Is the world going to change?"
Tian Futang told what he had just heard on the radio, and Sun Yuting immediately jumped up, "If we are all divided into areas and can work alone, then what rights do we village cadres have? What else can we do? It's all up to the members themselves.
Calculate."
Tian Futang said, "Alas", "Today the person spoke out and supported everyone working alone."
Sun Yuting sat back on the stone mill slumped. If he really wanted to divide the land into households, then he and his mother-in-law would have to cultivate the land, which would cost them both their lives.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The two sat on the stone mill and sighed for a while.
"Dad, second dad." Wang Lidong walked into his second dad's house and saw a pair of good friends who looked like eggplants beaten by frost, "What's going on with you two?"
Tian Futang asked, "What do you want from me?"
Wang Lidong said, "Dad, I want to contract a piece of wasteland."
“What’s the purpose of contracting wasteland?”
"Raising pigs."
Tian Futang said, "Your old cave dwelling is so big, isn't it big enough for you to raise pigs?"
Wang Lidong smiled and said, "I want to raise a few more. How can there be enough space in an old cave dwelling?"
"How many do you want to raise?"
"Raise 500 pigs first." Wang Lidong originally wanted to raise 3,000 pigs, but he had just started to raise pigs, so he had to go a little slower, and he spent tens of thousands of dollars at once without scaring the villagers to death.
Sun Yuting looked surprised, "Shaoan, 500 pigs? You want to know my family!"
Wang Lidong said speechlessly, "Second dad, your thinking is backward. Now the country encourages farmers to diversify their businesses and run their own businesses. If you can't keep up with the times, you will be eliminated sooner or later."
Tian Futang said, "Shaoan, how much wasteland do you want to cover?"
Wang Lidong said, “Let’s reserve 300 acres first.”
"so much?"
"These 300 acres include pig farms, pastures for growing hogweed, and agricultural fertilizer processing plants."
Tian Futang said, "Shaoan, are you going to produce agricultural fertilizer?"
Wang Lidong said, "Yes, pig farms produce about 1,000 tons of pig manure a year."
"Can you produce agricultural fertilizer?"
"I found a recipe in the book that should work."
Tian Futang asked his son-in-law to sit down. He made a mental calculation. If 500 pigs were slaughtered a year, he could earn 60,000 to 70,000 yuan from selling pigs alone! "Young Anwa, you are going to heaven!"
Sun Yuting said, "Shaoan, there are 500 pigs. You and your eldest brother are just two people. Can you handle it?"
Wang Lidong smiled and said, "Not only my dad and I, but also Runsheng and Fugao, we will do it together. If there are not enough people, we will recruit some people to help."
Tian Futang said in surprise, "There is also Runsheng?"
Wang Lidong said, "One hero has three gangs. In such a big place, there will definitely be a lot of things going on. How can I do it alone?"
