Chapter two hundred and forty-six to divide the land
Xu Shiyan has been away for more than two months, and a lot of things have indeed happened at home.
The most important thing is that the superiors have clearly issued a document. In the spring of 1983, the local household contract responsibility system began to be implemented.
Land that originally belonged to communes and brigades was distributed to each household based on population.
From now on, farmers can decide on their own what to plant and how much to plant. As long as they pay enough quota, the higher authorities will not interfere with the rest.
"The commune and the team are discussing this matter.
According to the opinion of our team, the land plots for large fields should be determined by drawing lots based on the population and land level of each team, and allocated to each household."
They are all large fields, but some are fertile and some are barren. To divide the fields in a fair and equitable way, all must be taken into consideration.
"At Bangchui Land, there will be no distinction between those who make goods and those who freeze next year. Then we will still work in small teams, and we will get paid for making goods in the fall.
Ginseng seeds, ginseng seeds, and new plantings are also distributed to each household according to the population.
Next year’s new ginseng plot will be at the designated plot at the end of Nantianmen.
The area is not large, so each family will be given two feet, and they will be divided together for three years."
These were all decided upon by the team at a meeting, and it was originally planned to convene a meeting with members in the near future to announce them.
Most of the people in the team have heard about it, and Yu Shouguang specially told Xu Shiyan.
Hanging ground is a word that came out in the past two years.
In the 1980s, through several consultations, relevant departments in the county allocated more than 20,000 hectares of secondary forests and virgin forests from five provincial forestry bureaus as ginseng land for several communes.
These lands are collectively referred to as hanging lands.
The second brigade's new site this fall is the designated area. It is located in a place called Nantianmen. In fact, it should be under the jurisdiction of Xinglong Commune.
"Xiao Xu, there is something that your father said he would like to discuss when you come back.
This is the ginseng field in our team. Who is responsible for the ginseng inspection? Do you two plan to continue to inspect the ginseng?
If you continue to watch, you will have to sign a contract with the team after the year and pay a part of the deposit."
This is what Yu Shouguang really wants to say.
After the fields were divided into households, everyone had to do their own work, and no one earned any work points. But someone had to look after the sticks on the mountain, so someone had to contract.
Once you decide how much it will cost per foot, you can wait until winter to divide the money for making goods and freezing next year.
But for new plantings and new ginseng fields next year, each household has to pay for the ginseng fees.
Nowadays, looking at ginseng is a popular job, and many people are watching it.
The second brigade's ground is now divided into two locations, Xiaoheihe and Nantianmen.
These days, several people have gone to discuss with Yu Shouguang and want to contract.
Yu Shouguang kept his promise. On the Xiaohei River side, Xu Shiyan's opinion should prevail. If Xu Shiyan wanted to contract, he would not give it to others.
"Uncle Yu, I just came back. Can you let me discuss this matter with my father and give you an answer in two days?"
Xu Shiyan glanced at Xu Chenghou, and seeing the eagerness on his father's face, he knew that his father wanted to take on the contract.
Xu Shiyan no longer wanted to be contracted to look at ginseng. In the past, there was no good job, and looking at ginseng made more money, so he agreed to go up the mountain to look at ginseng.
Nowadays, the breeding farm has gradually developed, and the family has been divided into large fields and ginseng fields, both of which have to be busy.
In addition, Xu Shiyan still wants to make a fortune from Clivia. How can he have time to go to the mountains to see ginseng?
We need to discuss this matter with Xu Chenghou carefully and break down the pros and cons of the matter to that stubborn old man.
If Xu Shiyan directly said that he would not take the contract in front of so many people, he was afraid that Xu Chenghou would not be willing to directly fry it.
Although Xu Chenghou's temper has improved a lot in the past two years, no one can guarantee whether the old man will get angry in front of so many people.
The relatives and friends in this room today, especially the new uncle Han Liwei, should not offend Xu Chenghou. We should wait until the outsiders have left.
"Okay, anytime is fine. You two can discuss it slowly. After all, it's not a trivial matter.
If you contract, the deposit will be quite large, so you must be careful.”
Yu Shouguang nodded, this is a big deal and Xu Shiyan must think about it carefully.
In the east room, people were talking and drinking, and they didn't finish until after two o'clock.
The older ones, Yu Shouguang and Zhao Dahai, can no longer drink. If they drink a little, the younger ones are fine.
Xu Shiyan winked at Zhou Qingguo, Zhao Jianshe and the others, and called them to discuss in a low voice.
"Send them back to rest first. Come to my place in the evening. We have some urgent matters to discuss."
In this way, everyone dispersed, and Han Wenzhong and his son also said goodbye and left.
Han Liwei was leaving tomorrow and was extremely reluctant to leave Xu Shiqin, but he also knew that Xu Shiqin was very tired this day and had to rest early.
So the two of them stayed together for a while, then reluctantly left.
Xu Shiyan went out to see off the guests, watched everyone leave, and then returned to the house.
Xu Shiqin was really tired that day, so he simply went back to the West Room to rest.
As for Xu Shiyan, he held his youngest son in his arms, sat on the kang in the east room, and chatted with his parents.
Let’s talk about some things about our trip to the provincial capital this time, and tell our parents the accounts.
"Dad, Mom, I went back to the provincial capital to treat my little sister. The surgery, hospitalization, and medical expenses totaled more than 2,900."
I was discharged early, and the hospitalization and medical expenses were a little less than expected, but the bulk of them were materials and surgical expenses, which I couldn't save.
"This amount, because I was on leave at the time, and my sister's master didn't ask if he could reimburse me, so we didn't have the nerve to ask.
So I paid for everything at my own expense. If it were paid for by the public, we wouldn’t have spent much money after reimbursement.
My little sister is not a migrant worker. She belongs to a large collective. I think it’s hard to get much compensation.
We don’t expect it anyway, it all depends on what her master says."
Xu Shiqin's problem was that he couldn't rely on work-related injuries before recruiting workers.
If you are injured at work, your employer will reimburse you 100%, without your family having to pay a penny.
It's not considered a work-related injury, it can only be treated as a medical condition, but in the eyes of others, this problem is treated only if you have money to burn.
After all, Xu Shiqin's hunchback doesn't hurt or itch, and it doesn't delay his work. It's just a bit ugly.
In these days, most people don’t care whether it looks good or not. Many people still don’t have enough to eat. Who cares whether it looks good or not?
Xu Shiyan was not sure whether the medical unit could reimburse him, so when he was in the hospital, he just paid for himself.
Even if the employer reimburses him, the reimbursement is limited, and he has to spend a lot more money than he pays out of pocket, which is really not cost-effective.
Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan didn't understand this either, so they could only listen.
However, Wei Mingrong understood a little better, "My little sister should be able to get medical subsidies.
Let her ask her master. Anyway, the company can provide some subsidies, not much.
It’s not good for a large collective to keep up with all migrant workers.”
Wei Mingrong also belongs to a large group.
At that time, she was anxious to return to the city, and she did not meet the conditions for migrant workers. There happened to be a group of large collective quotas. She and Xue Xiulin both took the large collective quota and returned to the city.
At that time, I felt that it didn’t matter whether it was a collective or a people, as long as I could return to the city.
After I came back, I discovered that there is a big difference in welfare benefits between the whole people and large collectives.
