Maybe there really is such a mysterious thing as blood connection and destiny connection in the human world.
In the same year, as a blood relative of the Hong family, Zhaoqing, who lives far away in Longkou Village, Fangshan County, had surprisingly good luck.
The first is the family aspect.
In spring, Xiaoqin became pregnant with her second child.
This not only made the young couple overjoyed, but also made the old couple Yuntai and Secretary An smile from ear to ear.
And for Zhaoqing, who already has a son, he and Hong Yanwen actually have similar thoughts.
I'm just looking forward to having a daughter, so that I can have a "good" character who will have both children.
Unexpectedly, I went to the county hospital for a B-ultrasound. I really got what I wanted and got what I wanted.
Now Zhaoqing is at ease, and every day she looks forward to the birth of her daughter.
While Xiaoqin was in the process of getting pregnant, she had already started to prepare the girl's clothes and bedding.
As for the country's family planning policy, of course it must be implemented and responded to.
But the actual gap between urban and rural areas also exists objectively and must be treated differently.
A second child is not a big deal.
Having said that, Secretary An is still the top leader in the village, the women's director is even Xiaoqin's cousin.
Therefore, it is useless even if the villagers talk about this matter. They cannot investigate anyone but their own family members.
Secondly, in terms of career.
The degree to which Zhaoqing got lucky is even more miraculous. It was a blessing in disguise that happened accidentally in an adverse situation that was difficult to contend with.
I bet the social environment this year is not good for township and village enterprises.
In the years after 1978, my country's industry recovered rapidly and broke the supply-demand balance line in this year.
This has triggered new economic conflicts and social problems.
On the one hand, the country still generally operates according to the planned economy, and state-owned enterprises are severely hampered, and their policies are far less flexible than those of township and village enterprises.
Then after the market supply began to be saturated, the shortcomings of these state-owned enterprises' lack of competitiveness began to show up.
On the other hand, economic development led to a rapid increase in the national fiscal deficit and rising prices.
So based on these two points, many people above have opinions on township enterprises.
They believe that the troubles are caused by the competition between township enterprises and large urban industries for raw materials, energy, markets, and funds.
He summarized these problems into four words: "Squeezing the big with the small", and called for the closure of township and village enterprises.
In particular, it is emphasized that small iron smelting plants, small fertilizer plants, small coal kilns, small household appliance factories and other enterprises must be closed down and transferred to other enterprises.
Although the "great man" had a firm determination to reform, he was afraid of killing the newly revitalized market, and made it clear that everything should be tested by the market.
Subsequently, the State Economic Commission and the State Agricultural Commission conducted a nationwide survey specifically for this purpose, and finally came to the positive conclusion that the benefits of township enterprises to the national economy outweigh the harm.
However, conservatives who have a negative attitude towards this social change are not willing to admit defeat for their own vested interests.
They will not retreat easily just because their noses are touched.
Hmph, it’s hard to get things done, but isn’t it easy to find faults and create trouble?
So these people put forward another reason, saying that the supply of vegetables in the market is tight now because farmers in the suburbs of large and medium-sized cities have established collective enterprises, and there are fewer people growing vegetables.
We must not allow the proliferation of industrial enterprises to affect food supply.
Then the state insisted on changing the industrial and commercial tax levied on township and village enterprises from the 20% proportional rate in the past to an eight-level excess progressive tax rate, with the highest tax rate being 55%.
Although many people strongly oppose increasing the tax burden on collective enterprises for fear of causing economic recession.
But when a group of people condense into a conceptual system because of their interests, their energy cannot be underestimated.
In this era when reform is still full of unknowns and fog, they still have strong vitality.
Therefore, due to some tacit understanding and cooperation, documents related to tax rates were sent out quickly and were difficult to withdraw.
In this way, even if they object again, it will be too late, and the reformists will have no choice but to accept the reality of a temporary trial period.
This resulted in large fluctuations in the tax burden of township and village enterprises this year.
So in general, this year's macroeconomic and policy aspects are not ideal.
There was a bit of a backlash when it came to setting up a factory in a village, and it encountered policy backlash just over half a year after it was established.
If Zhaoqing wants to achieve his promises and goals before the Spring Festival, he actually has strong practical difficulties.
However, the development of anything is always subject to relatively special accidental phenomena.
It is true that the saying that when people move away, horses move away fat, bad things can turn into good things as long as you catch up a little bit.
Even he himself did not expect that even in such a deteriorating ecological environment, the village-run factory not only was not forced to stop its development, but also gained considerable practical benefits.
What's going on?
This has to start with a deputy secretary of the county who took office last year.
In the second half of last year, a new secretary named Lin Hu came to the county.
This man was fifty-six years old and a conservative with particularly contradictory political views.
This can be seen just from his speech when he took the stage.
Because Secretary Lin, who is in charge of rural work, on the one hand said that he was in favor of rural reform, but on the other hand he emphasized that it should be based on reality.
Throughout his speech, he actually elaborated on the importance of adhering to the collectivization road under the new situation, especially emphasizing that the land should not be divided as much as possible.
They also say that ideological and political work cannot be relaxed. Although class struggle cannot be carried out, the theory of annihilation of class struggle cannot be carried out.
Anyway, it is under the guise of supporting reform, but in reality it is still conservative and left-leaning.
But he also classified himself as a reformist and would never admit that he did not support reform.
The result was good. Everyone present at the meeting was confused by his high-sounding words. They really felt that the speech of this great man was really confusing and made people unable to grasp the direction and context of future work.
Fortunately, as time went by and we came into contact with each other more, someone finally seemed to understand it a little better.
There were discussions in private, saying that this guy didn't want to offend anyone, but he just wanted to strike a balance between snake and mouse, mix levels, and wait for a safe retirement, right?
Yes, so secretly, Secretary Lin got the nickname "Big-tailed Eagle".
That means he is too good at pretending and will bluff.
This nickname was so unpleasant that when it reached Secretary Lin's ears, he almost had a stroke.
So this year, when the situation changed and public opinion and a trend of suppressing township enterprises began to form, the secretary could not sit still.
He really wanted to take advantage of this situation to establish his prestige and catch a few examples of people who harmed national interests, interfered with the national economy, and were uneasy about farming.
Don't you think I'm here to be imaginary? Then I'll give you something real to make you all "comfortable" down there.
In this way, he made a name for himself to go down to the grassroots level and visit every place where township and village enterprises were established.
This time it was all over the place.
There was a swarm of busy people below, and there were enthusiastic scenes of greetings and banners held high everywhere, welcoming the leaders of the county party committee for their inspection.
But I was so tired that sweat dripped down my neck and I couldn't stop feeling good.
This "big-tailed eagle" was holding his breath and deliberately came to "take" people for fun.
Think about it again, are township and village enterprises so standardized these days?
Account confusion is a common phenomenon, and there are a lot of financial mistakes and loopholes. The purchase channel of industrial raw materials is the hardest hit area.
If you flip through the ledger, you will find the handle at any time.
In addition, money and silk are attractive to people, and there are indeed cases where factories are set up in villages, which reduces the enthusiasm for farming to a certain extent.
Well, the spring of 1983 became a severe winter for these township and village enterprises.
Among the 26 factories in the county, there are many situations where they have been closed for rectification, the factory director has been fired, and the village secretary has made a review.
The "big-tailed eagle" became famous and proud.
He is like the "monkey-eating eagle" in "Black Cat Sheriff", using his sharp teeth and bloodthirsty demonic nature to wipe out all the little animals underneath.
No one from the county committee or the county government dared to underestimate him.
Everyone has wisely realized the reality that eagles are also predators, and they are fierce!
