Chapter 289 Niu Bold Proposal
In [-], Awakening of Insects.

The wind was raging, and among the continuous dark clouds, bursts of thunder flickered and appeared and disappeared, and there was a rumbling thunder from time to time.

There were bursts of spring thunder.

The folks in the Maixiang brigade did not hide in the house, but stood in the courtyard or under the eaves one by one, looking up at the continuous and thick clouds in the sky, their eyes full of expectation.

"Er Qi moves, the wind and rain are like darkness, and the thunder and lightning work together!"

Wang Zhong stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back, raising his hands to look up at the sky. On the left and right sides, there was a boy with a very tall chest.

The two boys have cropped hair and long gowns. The one on the left is muscular, slightly taller than half a head, with slender arms. He is his younger brother Wang Zi'an, and the one on the right is thinner, his older brother Wang Ziping.

Dahong and Erhong squatted on the ground, sitting on either side of the two brothers, one on the left and one on the right, sticking out their tongues, panting heavily, and looking at the sky curiously.

Above the roof, curls of cooking smoke rose into the sky.

"This drought is finally over!" I have heard of the three-year difficult period before, and it was also shown in TV dramas, but when I really came to this world and experienced this period, I can truly appreciate the hardships.

Wang Zhong's own family is fine, after all, there is Wang Zhong who is open and hanging, but other villagers, although Wang Zhong has made sufficient preparations in advance, they still haven't been able to eat a few full meals in the past three years. Dumplings, tree roots, and bark The folks in the Maixiang Brigade did not eat less.

In [-], even when the farming season was busy, there was no enough food, and the emergency food left in the warehouse was finally distributed to the villagers, and the villagers planted some in time Buckwheat and vegetables, this is boiled down.

Compared with other brigades, the life of Maixiang Brigade can already be said to be nourishing. Not to mention the rural areas, even those with jobs in the county, some with a large population, are also hungry and full. Some of the time the food is thin.

"Boom!"

After a flash of lightning across the sky, there was an earth-shattering bang, and even the coffin seemed to shake three times.

The father, son, and two hunting dogs all looked expectantly at the pitch-black sky, expecting the rainstorm to come, but at this moment, a loud cry brought the three of them back from their thoughts.

"Wow~~~"

"Oh~~~ Don't cry, don't cry! Mother is here, mother is here!" Jiang Hongguo's voice followed.

But at this moment, several bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, Wang Zhong's eyes were sharp like a falcon, "It's raining!"

"Is it raining?" The two sons stretched their hands out of the porch at the same time, and looked at the dry yard. Before they could ask, sparse drops of water had already fallen.

A few lucky ones fell into the palms of the two brothers, but after a while, the dripping water droplets gradually turned into a water curtain, pouring down with a splash, and the bean-sized water droplets hit the green tiles on the roof. On the roof, there was a crisp sound, and the rainwater on the roof gathered into a stream, slid down the tile groove, and dripped from the eaves.

"What a heavy rain!" Both brothers were a little excited. It was the first time they had seen such a heavy rain in three years.

"It's raining now!" Looking at the pitch-black sky, Wang Zhong couldn't help but smile.

Only those who have experienced it can understand the suffering of three consecutive years of drought. In the first year, wild vegetables were dug, but after that, the drought became more and more year after year, and even the wild vegetables were pitifully scarce. The villagers could only dig grass roots. Peel the bark, mash it, add a pinch of salt, cook it into wild vegetable soup, and eat it with a little bit of polenta or sweet potato porridge.

Fearing that the two sons would not be strict with their mouths and would show off outside, Wang Zhong and Jiang Hongguo seldom ate dry food, and most of the time they cooked porridge. Sticky, three years have passed, and the nine-year-old brothers are just like the ground-breaking wheat seedlings, growing in stature, and now Jiang Hongguo has to take care of his daughter and son Jin.

Zijin was born last summer. When he was born, he only weighed six pounds and two taels. For a single child, this weight can only be said to be quite satisfactory. Zijin is completely different from his two elder brothers. Ziping and Zi'an were unusually quiet when they were young. , he doesn't make much fuss when he grows up, but Zijin is very fussy, crying every now and then.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Wang Zhong took off his clothes, shirtless, took off his shoes, rolled up his trousers, and walked barefoot into the rain curtain, letting the pouring rain pour on him, and the bean-sized raindrops hit him It still hurts a little bit.

Wang Zhong opened his arms, raised his head and closed his eyes, letting the dense raindrops hit his face.

Seeing their master walking into the rain, Dahong and Erhong also got up and ran into the rain, circling around Wang Zhong, shouting happily.

Brothers Ziping and Zi'an followed suit, took off their clothes and shoes, and rushed into the rain.

Wang Zhong suddenly became interested, "Get out of the way!"

As soon as the words fell, he stretched his legs and immediately punched in the rain.

Palm method, boxing method, elbow method, leg method, grappling, gossip, Xingyi, Taiji, Baji, Yanqing, poking feet...

Don't stick to those fixed routines, fists, palms, legs, elbows, how you feel comfortable, how you want to hit.

Changing palms is like dragging a knife, and punching is like piercing a spear.

Unknowingly, Wang Zhong was immersed in a special state, and the true energy in his body moved accordingly, moving like a thunderbolt, moving like a dragon, and powerful like a thunderbolt. , Seeing the two brothers next to them, their hearts were surging, and they also fisted and kicked.

Hearing the familiar shouts and shouts from outside, Jiang Hongguo walked to the door with her daughter who was about to be comforted, and saw the three naked father and son in the rain. The pouring rain, not only did not stop the three of them, but also showed bright and gratified smiles on their faces.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, she finally looked forward to the rain, and Jiang Hongguo was extremely excited. If she hadn't held her daughter in her arms, she would have even wanted to rush into the rain curtain and take a good shower.

In fact, the entire Maixiang Brigade, countless folks, no matter adults or children, couldn't help rushing into the rain curtain, letting the heavy rain hit them.

A little excited, he even lay flat in the yard, letting the raindrops hit him, with a happy smile on his face.

The heavy rain lasted for more than an hour, and then it gradually subsided, and the originally flat yard became muddy. At night, the rain stopped.

Afterwards, there was continuous drizzle that lasted for several days. Although it continued intermittently, greenery appeared one after another on the barren hills that were originally bare.

At the headquarters of Maixiang brigade, Wang Zhong, Niu Daudao, Ma Renlian, Ma Renli, and Zhao Youtian sat around the long table.

"It must be too late to plant wheat this year. We don't have any seeds for spring wheat. My suggestion is that we all plant corn, soybeans, and peanuts. Sweet potatoes and potatoes cannot be left behind. The yields of these two are not low. Sweet potato vines can also grow It is used to raise pigs, and some millet is replanted as appropriate, and some fruits and vegetables are grown on the mountain.”

"That's all I can think of in terms of planting for the time being, and we can't be left behind in terms of breeding. Feel free to speak up if you have any good ideas."

"Let's raise pigs. Let's grow sweet potatoes. Pigs like to eat sweet potato vines. Let's raise a few more pigs. By the end of the year, every household will have pork to eat." Ma Renli suggested.

Niu Bold also nodded: "It's good to raise pigs!"

"Let's raise more chickens. Chicken is highly nutritious, and it's just good for babies and wives to nourish their bodies." Ma Renlian said.

Niu Bold suddenly remembered what Wang Zhong said at the beginning: "Didn't you say that the water cellar can be converted into a fish pond? Now that the drought is over, can we raise some fish?"

"It's all good ideas, but we don't have so much food in our hands now, and we can't raise so many things at once. My suggestion is that we first pick the one that is easy to feed and raise it, and then slowly expand when we get richer. Scale, increase variety."

Niu boldly said: "Then let's raise pigs. Pigs can be raised with pigweed, bran, and without food. Now there are a lot of dolls in the village. When we are busy with farming, the dolls can also cut pigweed in exchange for work points."

"This proposal is good." Wang nodded emphatically: "What do you think?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Unlike the meetings in Commune County, where you have to talk about a lot of nonsensical things first, the meetings of the Maixiang Brigade have always been known for being concise and concise, and they always get straight to the point and talk about the business.

The next day, Ma Renlian announced the decision of the brigade at the meeting through the radio. On the third day, under the leadership of Ma Renlian, the women comrades began to raise seedlings, and Niu Daudao led the men in the village to plow the land.

Everything is proceeding slowly and orderly.

Compared with the previous policy, the policy from above has been gradually loosened. As time goes by, the corn seedlings in the field are getting higher and higher. The soybeans, peanuts, sweet potatoes, and potatoes are also growing very gratifyingly, and the vegetables in the field are also growing very well. , It's a pity that at this time point, people have a little money in their hands to buy rations, and the market for vegetables is not good, that is, only some families with good conditions are willing to spend money to buy vegetables.

Ordinary people, either porridge or steamed buns, the nearby brigade wished to plant all the land with food, and because of this, Wang Zhong led the villagers of the Maixiang brigade to plant more than [-] mu of vegetables, cucumbers, bitter melons, Pumpkins, tomatoes, green and red peppers, jar beans, string beans, and more.

The buyers from the Maixiang Brigade and the County Supply and Marketing Cooperative are all old acquaintances. Wang Zhong sent two packs to the big front door, and then got in the way of the Vegetable Bureau. Given the price, the matter of providing vegetables to the Vegetable Bureau was set.

The policy is gradually relaxed, and there are more and more things that can be done.

From spring to summer, and then from summer to autumn, the harvested grain has decreased slightly compared to three years ago, but it can be considered a bumper harvest. Fortunately, the gap is not too big, and smiles gradually appear on the faces of the villagers.

On this day, Niu Boldly took Ma Renli to find Wang Zhong.

"Now the policy has been loosened. I heard that many places started doing it last year. Should we follow the pace of the times and start a free market?" Niu Bold was a little excited, and there was silence in his eyes The light that has been shining for a long time seems to be full of hope.

Wang Zhongdao: "I've also heard about this matter. Although the higher-ups are motivated, our county has not yet issued a document."

As he said that, Wang Zhong lowered his voice: "I heard that it was stuck with Zhang Defu. Secretary Zhou mentioned it several times at the meeting, but Zhang Defu always contradicted Secretary Zhou every time."

"Humph!" Niu Bold's eyes widened immediately, and he snorted heavily: "That Zhang Defu is a bum, his father was a dancer before liberation, his mother was a pimp, he is not a good person, During the land reform, I was almost turned into a bum, and I climbed up by being able to speak well, but I have no shit skills, and I know how to mess around all day long."

Looking at the furious Niu Bold, although he agrees with Niu Bold's words, Wang Zhong still persuaded him: "Bold, you can just say this in front of Renli and me. If you go outside, don't say anything. Don't have no one to guard the door, you still have a mother and son and daughter-in-law in your family."

"Hey!" Niu boldly sighed, and asked, "Let's not talk too far, let's talk about the free market?"

After speaking, he looked at Ma Renli beside him: "Do you think this free market is doing something wrong?"

"If you want me to say, let's wait!" Ma Renli said, "As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the county manager. Although the higher-ups are energetic, but our county has not yet issued a red-headed document, we are still under the county's jurisdiction after all. The county has not yet made a decision, if we come here to make a decision, we will not guarantee that we will not be regarded as the first bird."

"Renli's thinking makes sense!" Wang Zhong also nodded in agreement, and Ma Renli's consideration can be called a seasoned plan for the country.

Ma Renli persuaded: "Bold, I know, you are eager to improve the lives of the big guys, but things don't happen overnight, the road is slowly walked out step by step, even a person as powerful as Secretary Zhou, It is also difficult in the county, not to mention our small Maixiang brigade."

"Your proposal, I think it's better to wait."

"I can't wait anymore. After passing this village, there is no such shop. Our brigade is already far away from the county seat. If we don't do it now, when the county really implements policies, there will be no business for our brigade. "Niu Bold is a little anxious.

"But if we do it now, there are too many uncertainties and it's too dangerous!" Ma Renli said.

"I don't know what is certain or not. I just know that if we don't do it and wait for others to do it first, our brigade will have nothing to do."

"There is some truth to what you say boldly." Wang nodded his head. The geographical location of Maixiang Village is indeed a bit embarrassing. Whether it is from the county town or the commune, it is not particularly close.

"Anyway, I think it's too dangerous." Ma Renli shook his head.

Wang Zhong said: "Since it is the spirit from above, the county is just hesitating now, unable to make up its mind, worried that this is a gust of wind, and it will pass if it blows."

"What do you mean?" Niu boldly looked at Wang Zhong.

"Tell me first, what is your plan!" Wang Zhong didn't answer Niu Bold's question directly, but instead asked Niu Boldly.

Niu boldly said: "We will first set up a free market to make a name for ourselves, first attract folks from all over the world, and then hold a temple fair, making it lively and attracting people from the city. People are paid wages, but they are richer than us farmers.”

Wang Zhong shook his head and said with a broken smile, "If we really do what you say, our free market will be ruined even if it works."

"How could it be yellow? This is the spirit of the higher-ups. Didn't the newspapers say that many places have started free markets." Niu boldly expressed disbelief.

Wang Zhongdao: "Currently the only one in the county who supports the establishment of a free market is Secretary Zhou. Except for those who are neutral, Zhang Defu and his group are all against it. Now the county has not officially issued a statement saying that a free market can be established. Let us Let’s do it first. Isn’t that a slap in the face? You and I know what kind of virtue Zhang Defu is. Find fault?"

"Just running the free market is already under pressure, and you still want to hold a temple fair, aren't you giving the handle to Zhang Defu and the others!"

"This..." This question immediately overwhelmed Niu Bold.

"Although Secretary Zhou is the top leader in the county, the life of Secretary Zhou has not been so easy. If we really have something to fall into the hands of Zhang Defu and his group, not only will our free market be unable to run, but if they take Use this as an excuse to deal with Secretary Zhou, tell me, how should Secretary Zhou deal with it?"

"Now at this time, let's not cause trouble to Secretary Zhou and drag him down."

Niu boldly froze, with a bitter expression on his face: "But if we miss this opportunity, our free market will not be able to run."

"Then I would like to ask you, if the free market really works, what do you plan to sell?"

"I don't have any other skills, I can grow yellow smoke! I just sell yellow smoke."

"Yellow smoke is a material for unified purchase and sales." Ma Renli said.

Wang Zhongdao: "It's against the law to sell materials purchased and sold privately. It doesn't matter if something happens to us, but if Secretary Zhou is involved..."

"..."

Looking at Niu Bold with a tangled face, Wang Zhong asked again: "Bold, let me ask you, are you short of food now?"

Niu boldly shook his head: "The corn and sweet potatoes just harvested this year are barely enough to eat."

"Autumn sowing is about to start. By then, there will be a type of winter wheat. By the end of the year, the pigs in our team will almost be ready for slaughter. We have grain, pork, and we can extract oil ourselves. Tell me, why are we here? Engage in a free market at this juncture?"

"Besides, the geographical location of our brigade is not advantageous. Even if we take the lead in establishing a free market, if other brigades follow suit, please tell us."

"Bold, we can understand your feelings, but sometimes things don't go according to our ideas."

"If you insist, then let's call Renlian and Arita to vote together."

Niu boldly opened his mouth, and all the words he said turned into a sigh.
