After hearing this, the old lady sighed and said: "It doesn't matter if you have a household. Dandan and Dingbang's accounts are both in the Public Security Bureau. As an old woman, I can't get much land."
He Xianghua said with a smile: "Uncle, our Lexing Brigade has the most fields among the nearby brigades. Niubei Mountain and a few small mountainous areas all need to be divided. After all, you can get two acres of land and two private fields.
, and a vegetable patch.”
The old lady spread her hands and smiled: "No matter how much land you give me, I won't be able to plant it! If any of you want to plant it, just use it and give me some rations every year."
Yang Meihua smiled and shook her head: "Uncle, you don't have to plant it for others. When the time comes, you can spend some money to hire someone to plant the rice seedlings and cut the millet."
He Xianghua nodded: "That's right, don't look at each one of them as if they have been hungry for three days when they are working for the brigade. When they start doing their own work, they will feel refreshed. There will be many odd jobs by then!"
After the meeting, he felt that it was time for him to settle down.
Working in the production team, everyone is a foreign laborer, because it has been decided long ago that strong laborers are entitled to ten working points a day, and women and the elderly are entitled to eight to seven working points. Lin Lan and others only have six working points.
There are hundreds of people in a team, and there is no division of labor. Most of them think, why should I work so hard while others are lazy, and they don't get an extra division of labor? As a result, the work that can be done in three days takes five days to complete.
The harvest of one year was not as good as the previous year, and the food distributed to the members was getting less and less. The members did not have enough to eat or wear, they had less confidence in collective labor, and the situation of working as foreigners became more and more serious.
After the households are divided, everyone can do as much or as little as they want. If they finish their work early, they can find some odd jobs to earn some extra money to support their families!
"Yes!" Lin Lan smiled and said, "According to this calculation, beans and I can get four acres of land. How can I grow it by myself? I will also hire someone to do it."
The old lady nodded, thinking of the more than ten acres of winter paddy fields and more than ten acres of fish ponds under Niubei Mountain, and looked at He Xianghua: "How to distinguish those winter paddy fields and fish ponds?"
He Xianghua thought for a while: "After the meeting, we held a small meeting at the brigade headquarters. There are many people who want to fish pond! It is a rare winter paddy field. I see Liu Guozhi's intention and want to use the winter paddy field to catch a good place.
's family."
The old lady nodded: "Yes! Judging from the income generated by the fish pond over the course of a year, the winter paddy fields are of little use now."
Before canals were built, winter paddy fields were used to store water in winter, providing water for next year's rice. They could also be planted in spring, cultivate soil fertility, store water and moisturize, and increase drought resistance.
Since the canal was built, the role of winter paddy fields has not been great. If the production quota is to be guaranteed to each household, it will be a troublesome matter to whom to allocate the more than ten acres of winter paddy fields.
Lin Lan thought of her family in her previous life. There was a family that had a conflict with the team leader. When dividing the fields and drawing lots, the team leader used tricks. Most of the several acres of land his family was allocated were winter paddy fields.
The family knew that it was the captain who was punishing him, but there was nothing they could do because no one was willing to take out the good land they had received and redistribute it.
The family became popular for a few days, and the son of that family found someone to think of a solution. He hired people to dig the fields deep and build fish ponds to raise fish. Within two years, he became the richest family in the team.
Thinking of this, Lin Lan smiled and said: "Brother-in-law He, the families assigned to the winter paddy fields should pay less for the public food and poll tax!"
He Xianghua nodded: "It should be so. The income from the winter paddy fields has been reduced for a season, and no one is willing to pay the same taxes as the superior fields. The brigade is still in a meeting to discuss how to divide the fields."
Yang Meihua looked at Lin Lan: "The farmland has been guaranteed to each household, so I don't think I will care about small businesses anymore. Lin Lan, you are the one who will make the big money in the future."
Lin Lan smiled and said: "I just want to earn some hard money. We haven't gone to bed since you guys went to bed. We got up to work while you were still sleeping."
She was also thinking about when she would go to the provincial capital to see if there were dough mixers, fermentation boxes and refrigerators on the market. It would be better if there were electric ovens and fresh-keeping and sealing equipment for sale.
Yang Meihua recalled the day she heard Li Guizhi say that she had collected some rapeseed oil and beans for Lin Lan and earned a hundred yuan in the fall. She half-truthfully said, "Lin Lan, my aunt's family also has big white beans and black beans.
How about I collect some and sell them to you?"
Although her family, Xiang Hua, is the vice-captain, there is no benefit at all in the production team. He is still a working class person. He gets a fixed amount of money every month and various receipts. The members work hard for a year and get even oil.
They can't even get a pound. If you sell the beans to Lin Lan, you can still get two cents more.
Lin Lan nodded cheerfully: "As long as the food is good, you can go and take it back. I want big white beans, peas, soybeans, peas, and red and mung beans."
Yang Meihua smiled and said, "Don't worry, the bad ones won't be taken back to you." She thought about going back to her parents' house tomorrow to collect some.
Several people talked for a while at the old lady's house and then went home.
Xiaodouzi washed and went to sleep. Lin Lan and Lin Yuezhen pounded all the bean paste and bean paste, prepared mung bean cake and pea cake, put them in a bamboo basket and covered them with gauze.
Put the mashed beans and red bean paste in a bamboo basket, cover it with a soaked white cloth, put the pumpkin in the steamer, and bake the pumpkin pie early tomorrow morning.
Lin Lan looked at his watch and found that it was past eleven o'clock before he knew it. After washing, the two fell asleep and felt that it was time to get up again not long after they fell asleep.
Kneading dough and baking pumpkin cakes and curly cloud bean rolls. It was already seven o'clock when the work was completed. Not long after brother Wang Zhixue took away the goods, Zhou Xiaohong also came.
After the goods from the morning market were delivered, Xiaodouzi and Xiaokai went to school after dinner, and Lin Lan and Lin Yuezhen began to dismantle the melon racks in the vegetable field.
The large moso bamboo piles were left in the vegetable field, and all the thin bamboo poles were pulled out and piled under the eaves behind the west wing. The pumpkin vines, winter melon vines and green bean vines that had been yellowed by the frost were pulled out and dried in the courtyard dam.
Use it to make matches.
The two of them worked all morning to clean up the vegetable field. They dug out the ground again, spread a layer of soil and fertilizer, hoed it again, sprinkled the seeds of Chinese cabbage and green cabbage, watered it and sprinkled some plant ash, and then covered it lightly.
A layer of straw is used for insulation.
Lin Yuezhen gestured to Lin Lan: "I might as well dig out the potatoes in my plot today, and when the vegetable seedlings grow out, I can plant them."
"That's fine."
Lin Lan took a hoe and a basket to the private plot, pulled up the potato vines, picked the potatoes hanging under the vines and threw them into the basket.
While the two were having sex in full swing, Li Xiangyang rode his bicycle to the entrance of the courtyard. Wangcai, who was lying there, jumped up to him happily when he saw him coming, wagging his tail and barking.
As soon as I put the vegetable basket into the yard, I saw that the yard was full of dry vines. I turned around and saw Lin Lan standing at the door, with the corners of her lips raised: "Are you digging the ground? I'll dig it for you."
"I'm digging potatoes." Lin Lan looked at him and smiled, "What's the matter with you?"
Today he wore a navy blue shirt, tucked into black trousers, and a Chinese tunic suit. It was a bit formal but very good-looking.
