Zou Danni breathed a sigh of relief, took the two children out of the strawberry greenhouse, and strolled into Qinglongtou Village.
Her husband Chen Shilin followed behind with a large bag of strawberries and vegetables, admiring the countryside scenery as he walked.
Although the weather is already a bit hot in May, the leafy kapok trees and large banyan trees provide cool shade; the rivers and ponds balance the small ambient temperature with water vapor.
Many villagers are building or renovating old houses.
As the director of the rural cooperative in Qinglongtou Village, Fang Huafeng is busy in the village at this time.
In fact, the Netherworld Palace has also issued another special regulation for rural cooperatives, which is the proportional substitution system.
This regulation is such that once a rural cooperative is located in a natural village and its rural cooperative members account for more than 75% of the village's population, the original village committee will be automatically abolished, which is called cooperativeization.
Its purpose is to completely change some of the shortcomings in domestic rural areas, such as those village officials who use their power to rob the collective interests that originally belong to the villagers.
As for how to prevent the cooperative's board of directors from developing in a bad direction, Huanong Group and the Citizen Trust Cooperative have introduced very strict management systems.
For example, in the property disclosure system, immediate family members are not allowed to be non-Chinese nationals, directors are not allowed to be re-elected for more than 10 years, and the supervisory power of shareholders' meetings and employee meetings is enhanced.
Coupled with comprehensive screening using artificial intelligence, there is also a rural basic law system that is gradually being established.
To suppress unhealthy tendencies in rural areas, we must not only provide farmers with income, but also provide them with a framework that can control cooperative councils.
One of the very obvious systems is the anonymous reporting and investigation system. Farmers can log in to the official website of Huanong Group online and apply for anonymous reporting.
This report will not be handled manually, but will be automatically investigated by artificial intelligence. Once the artificial intelligence determines that there is a problem, the consequences will be very serious.
Because if you want to modify the judgment of artificial intelligence, you must apply for the logic device of the Citizen Trusteeship Society before you can carry out the modification process.
The penalties are also very serious, usually dismissal, confiscation, fines, resettlement (exile), and in severe cases, direct criminal punishment.
The punishment settings in these bills have Huang Mingzhe's strong style, which is the Legalist idea of strict laws and severe punishments.
Moreover, the repair speed of these bills is also very fast. Once a loophole appears, the repair speed will not exceed three months, and amendments or supplementary provisions will be proposed.
For example, two problems that have become serious phenomena in recent years are juvenile crime and crime by mentally ill patients.
In April this year, the repair and correction work was completed.
The lower limit of punishment for juvenile crimes, especially for major cases, is lowered to 12 years old. As long as they are over 12 years old, they will be punished the same as adults, and their guardians will be treated as non-accomplices.
The same goes for mentally ill patients. They are not exempt from major cases and their guardians are not treated as accomplices.
Although many people judge that this is inhumane, in this case, the criminals get a free death gold medal.
What is justice for the victim? Isn't this kind of immunity another kind of harm to the victim? Humanity cannot be talked about to criminals. Talking about humanity to criminals is inhumane to the victim.

Thanks to the development of rural cooperatives, the customs of those natural villages dominated by rural cooperatives are rapidly changing.
Fang Huafeng took the information of Qinglongtou Village and offered a reward for the design and renovation plan through the Architectural Designers Association on the Internet, although the money was not much.
But for those students in school, this is a lot of income. Recently, they have received too many such orders, all of which are for the overall planning and design of rural areas.
Many renovated or constructed buildings are mixed with stone, brick, wood and green plant elements, making Qinglongtou Village more harmonious with nature and man.
The sanitation workers employed by the cooperative, coupled with the strict management of garbage, ensure that the stone roads in the village roads and alleys are almost spotless.
Chen Shilin and Zou Danni, who were walking among them, were even a little envious of this environment.
"Fellow, do you have a house (the name for rural homestead land in Shantou and Meizhou) to buy in your village?"
Well, Fang Fenghua, who turned around, took a look at Chen Shilin and explained with a smile: "It was possible to buy it last year, but not this year."
"Why can other villages buy it?" Chen Shilin asked doubtfully.
"You are talking about those urban villages or urban-rural fringe areas. Nowadays, the natural villages where rural cooperatives are stationed do not allow the sale of homesteads." Fang Fenghua continued to explain.
"What a pity. I also want to buy a piece of land in the village and build my own building."
Fang Fenghua smiled and said: "Hahaha... it will get better and better in the future, and the city is not bad."
The envious Chen Shilin complained bitterly: "The air in the city is not good. There is a KTV bar next door to my house, and the noise is too serious."
"There are also disadvantages in rural areas. It is inconvenient to buy things, and some villagers like to gossip." Fang Fenghua said quite objectively.
Life is like a besieged city. City people envy rural people for their good natural environment, farm food and local eggs; while rural people envy city people for their colorful world and distant living environment.
But in reality, many people are like Ye Gong who likes dragons, and they talk about being very envious. Once they really get into that situation, they will feel at a loss.
This may be the compensation psychology of human beings. If something is missing, they can't help but envy the owner's life, but they don't know that the owner is also envious of their own life.
During the chat, the electrician had already connected the electricity to the villagers.
Cooperative members can enjoy a preferential electricity price of 1 cent per kilowatt hour, which is also a huge attraction for many villagers.
The electricity bill usually costs hundreds of dollars a month, which is a lot of money. Especially after turning on the air conditioner, it can cost more than 200 yuan a month.
This has also led to some villagers taking risks and stealing electricity; while some honest villagers can only save electricity as much as possible.
After this electricity price reduction, electricity theft has been effectively curbed, and many villagers finally no longer have to worry about stealing electricity.
"Brother Fang, the electricity bill here is so cheap." Chen Shilin couldn't believe it when he heard the electricity price.
"This is an internal discount of the cooperative. In your city, electricity prices may be adjusted soon next year or the year after."
"I hope it will be soon. When summer comes, the electricity bill will be three to four hundred per month." Chen Shilin felt mixed feelings in his heart.
His hometown is in an urban village in the city, but he has not heard of any rural cooperatives moving in.
Because the situation in urban villages is very complex, Huanong Group has actively avoided such areas and focused on cultivating natural villages in suburbs and towns.
That's why Chen Shilin's village missed out on this rural cooperative, which was a temporary helpless move.
After all, the transformation of urban villages and urban-rural fringe areas is really complicated. If you are not careful, big problems may occur, and Huanong Group does not want to be dragged into the quagmire.
The envious Chen Shilin, looking at the sunset, could only go home with his wife and children with a trace of regret.
The two children also fell in love with the countryside for the first time.
