Chapter 297 Serving the People

"Bold brother, find a chance to tell Wang Wanchun what I just told you, and let him think clearly whether he wants to continue to follow Zhang Defu all the way to the dark, or work hard to catch production. Do the work, find a way to help us old farmers, and make life better."

When he got home, Wang Zhong stopped Niu Bold and said a few words.

"Why don't you talk to Secretary Wang yourself?" Niu boldly asked puzzled.

"Do you think I haven't told him?" Wang Zhong laughed dumbly, shook his head, patted Niu Bold on the shoulder, and took the lead to enter the gate. Just as he crossed the threshold, he suddenly turned his head and said, "You are telling him, Han Meili of Xian Brigade is a lesson from the past."

After speaking, he went straight in and returned to the inner courtyard.

Niu boldly froze on the spot, and after a long pause, he came to his senses and returned home with a sullen face.

As time passed day by day, Wang Zhong didn't go to the commune to look for Wang Wanchun anymore, he concentrated on staying in the Maixiang Brigade, leading the villagers in production.

The Maixiang brigade now has a total of nearly [-] mu of arable land, and there are nearly [-] mu of fruit forests on the mountain, most of which are pear trees. Planted by the team members.

At that time, the catastrophe had just passed, and the villagers had been starving for three years. The one-acre pear tree that Wang Zhong planted at the beginning relieved a lot of anxiety. agreed.

Most of the newly cultivated land was developed at that time. At that time, Wang Zhong's prestige in the brigade was the highest, and the villagers were also afraid of another famine, so they wished they could open up more land and grow more grain. .

Although these years have been difficult, everyone's life is difficult. After all, the Maixiang brigade has the work point system formulated by Wang Zhong and others. The life of the brigade is one of the best in the Maixiangling area, and the girls in the surrounding brigades all wish to marry into the Maixiang brigade as soon as possible.

Therefore, the total population of the Maixiang brigade has already exceeded [-], and the per capita cultivated land has already exceeded [-] mu. The children of Ma Commune and Yang Jianguo have gradually grown up, and the labor force in the village has gradually increased.

Among the young people of the right age in the brigade, there were unmarried and married people, that is, Wang Ziping, Wang Zi'an, Niu Chunlai, and Niu Wenwen who were admitted to college.

Niu Maihua, Niu Bold's youngest daughter, is about the same age as Ma Gongshe and Wang Ziyu. They are both 14 or [-] years old this year. Ma Renli and Yang Denger's youngest son, Yang Jianguo, is slightly younger at [-] years old, older than Ziyu. last year.

The children are going to school one after another, the weather is getting warmer, and spring is about to begin. The county suddenly issued a notice to expand private plots, allow private farmers to raise pigs, sheep, and chickens, and encourage farmers to start sideline businesses.

But there are also restrictions. Private individuals can raise pigs, but not sows, and sheep, but not more than three.

Although there are still restrictions, this omen is excellent.

Private sows are not allowed to raise sows, so they should be raised in collective pigpens. Sows are owned by the collective. If the family cannot afford lambs, the collective can purchase them uniformly, and then give them to individuals, charging a certain amount of interest. When the pigs and sheep are ready to be slaughtered, they will be returned to the collective with interest.

"Can this work?" Hearing Wang Zhong's words, Ma Renli asked a little nervously.

After so many years, Ma Renli has been cautious, has always been careful, always adheres to the principle of saying less and seeing more in everything, being cautious in words and deeds, for fear of making mistakes, his courage is as small as a needle nose, and he likes to think twice before doing things, looking forward and looking ahead .

"Is it allowed to raise pigs and sheep?" Wang Zhong asked.

Ma Renli: "Yes!"

Niu boldly said, "Are we breaking the law?"

Ma Renli shook his head.

"That's it!" Wang Zhong said with a smile: "We acted in accordance with the instructions of the superiors. We neither violated the law nor violated the laws and regulations. If the superiors think that we are doing something wrong, then let's change it. The old saying Well, the sky is falling and there is a tall man to support it, if Zhang Defu has to deal with us, I, the village party secretary, will carry it."

"Now there are 56 households in our brigade. If each household has a pig, we don't have that much money and food collectively!" Ma Renli said, spreading his hands.

"Not now, doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. Let's buy a few sows first, and we can start breeding in half a year. Let's buy a few more gilts, and after our sows give birth to piglets, they will be sold to the villagers. "

"If there are too many piglets, we will sell them to folks from all over the world. If no one buys them, then we will expand the pig farm and make it bigger..."

"Since everyone agrees, let's do this!"

"Let Renlian handle the matter of buying piglets. The main tasks of the two of you now are spring irrigation and plowing."

In addition to winter wheat, the two brigades and eight small teams in the east and west of the village have to grow millet, sweet potatoes, spring corn, and various seasonal vegetables. In addition to the collective land, there is also the newly expanded private land of each family. , also have to plow and plant in summer. After the beginning of spring, almost everyone in the village will be busy.

Niu Bold is a good skill, and he is very proficient in all kinds of work in the field. Under the leadership of him and Wang Zhong, the villagers of Maixiang Brigade devoted themselves to the busy farming.

Time passed day by day, spring went to summer solstice, and it was another harvest season. The sow piglets bought by Ma Renlian also grew up one after another. The veterinarian, ten gilts in the village, was handed over to him in full charge.

Nowadays, Ma Renlian is basically in charge of the breeding of Maixiang Brigade, the two captains Niu Bold and Ma Renli are in charge of agriculture, and Wang Zhong is in charge of the overall situation, focusing on agricultural sidelines.

Wang Wanchun still didn't say anything, but Zhang Defu, not like the original book, has been resting on his back for the past few years. The incident when Wang Zhong, Ma Renli and Niu Bold went to the provincial capital at the beginning of the year finally played a role .

In the blink of an eye, it is the summer harvest. Looking at the golden and brilliant wheat fields all over the mountains, the villagers have long-lost smiles on their faces.

"Harvest the wheat!"

The cow shouted boldly, and the villagers poured into the wheat field with sickles. The men bent over to harvest, and the women were in charge of threshing and binding the straw behind. All are signs of enthusiasm.

The young and strong dolls put the newly harvested wheat into a wheelbarrow, on a carriage, or on their shoulders, and went straight to the wheat field in the village.

While harvesting wheat, threshing, and at the same time starting to dry and dehydrate intensively, there are more than 200 people in the whole Maixiang brigade, except for those who are too old to work like the second grandfather, the rest are old people with white beard and hair. The dolls, who were just over the height of the wheel, also helped to do the work together.

The harvested wheat, as in previous years, is first put into the brigade's grain depot, and then distributed door-to-door according to work points.

Hard work has yielded a lot, and he frowned furiously just thinking about being lazy.

As soon as the food was distributed to the villagers here, Wang Wanchun and Guan Yuanchao led people down to collect the public food on the other side of the commune.

Without the torment of activities to see the sky, the villagers put all their energy into serving the crops. Coupled with the strict work point system and the supervision of rewards and punishments, the Maixiang brigade has once again become the star brigade of Maixiangling Commune, with an average yield of even far Far beyond the 60s.

Looking at the bags of wheat that were weighed and sent to the tractor after inspection, Wang Wanchun's face was full of smiles.

"Big bug! As expected of a powerful man in our commune, in just two years, the output of your brigade has doubled again." Wang Wanchun praised Wang Zhong with a thumbs up.

Wang Zhongdao: "The main reason is that the folks are working hard, and this batch of seeds is good. These are the good seeds that I, Captain Niu and Captain Ma bought from the provincial capital. This is the second time we have planted them this year. This model is highly adaptable. , the yield is high, and the taste is not bad.”

"..."

After chatting for a few words, Wang Wanchun pulled Wang Zhong to a secluded place aside, and asked in a low voice, "Zhang Defu has been suspended for investigation, and the province has specially sent someone down to handle this matter, do you know something?"

"Secretary Wang, you're flattering me. I'm a farmer. You ask me when to plant seeds, when to irrigate in spring, when to suppress and kill insects, etc. I know, but where do I go in the county and the province? Know it!" Wang Zhong began to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"Stop pretending to me here!" Wang Wanchun pulled Wang Zhong and said.

"At the beginning you advised me to stay away from Zhang Defu, but Niu Bold made a special trip to find me later on, talking about healing, Han Meili's lessons learned from the past, let me think clearly, isn't this implying me!

We all know who Niu Bold is, can he think of and say these words! "

Wang Zhong looked at Wang Wanchun and said, "That was kind of me. The old saying is good, the bird is gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooking, isn't it a vivid example?"

Wang Wanchun was taken aback for a moment, then sighed, and his eyes became complicated.

"Wanchun, you are a good person. You also came out of our Maixiang brigade. We followed suit when we beat up the little devils. After all these years, all our villagers regard you as their own, otherwise , What are you and I wasting all this energy for? It’s not a good thing to work hard.”

Wang Wanchun glared at Wang Zhong, but Wang Zhong looked at him calmly, his eyes were clear and his expression was sincere, Wang Wanchun frowned more and more, and his heart became more and more entangled.

"Wan Chun, people can be wrong, but they can't be wrong all the time. If they are wrong, they must be corrected. Why don't you understand such a simple truth? Do you want to go all the way to the dark when you know it's wrong?"

"You boy, don't gossip here." Of course Wang Wanchun understood, otherwise, he would have been suspended for investigation just like Zhang Defu.

"Let me ask you, did you already know about Zhang Defu being suspended for investigation?"

"As far as what Zhang Defu did back then, I know it with my ass, and it will be a matter of time before I get suspended for investigation." Wang Zhong replied that he didn't answer.

Wang Wanchun looked at Wang Zhong with very complicated eyes, sighed again, and shook his head with some emotion, "Thinking about it now, I am really incompetent as a secretary!"

"I think you did a good job. Although there are some flaws, the flaws are not hidden. Not to mention other brigades, just our Maixiang brigade. If you hadn't been on top to help us bear the pressure, we might have been defeated by Zhang Defu and Han Meili. What are they doing?"

"Hey!" Wang Wanchun sighed again: "Speaking of Han Meili, she was also taken away by the investigation team."

Wang Zhong stepped forward and put his hand on Wang Wanchun's shoulder, and said like a friend: "Wanchun! Tell me, why are you being the secretary?"

"For what?" Wang Wanchun frowned and muttered.

"Then let's go a little further. Why did we follow you to beat the little devil and Lao Jiang?"

"What else could it be for? Of course it is to live a peaceful life!"

"Later, we won the war and established the nation. What was the reason for the land reform and the division of land?"

"In order to let the common people live a good life."

"I know that during the military parade, the great man said that the comrades have worked hard, what did the generals and soldiers below answer?"

"Serve the people!" Wang Wanchun blurted out without thinking. As soon as the words came out, Wang Wanchun was stunned.

"Serving the people is simple and straightforward. Even those who are illiterate and smart will know what it means. For so many years, we have been tossing and tossing. In the final analysis, isn't it just to find a way that suits our development? Roads, in order to make the country rich, so that we farmers don’t have to go hungry anymore!”

"You can see clearly what Zhang Defu and the others have done over the years. At this time, I think you might as well stop and think about it, recall the past, and ask yourself, how did you do it all these years? How did you do it? For what!"

As he spoke, Wang Zhong patted Wang Wanchun's shoulder, smiled, and walked away without saying anything.

Tuliu Wang Wanchun stood where he was, not knowing what he was thinking, until the director of the commune came to look for him, and he came back to his senses.

One can be wrong once, but not all the time!

Serve the people!
How did I do it all these years!

······
One question after another kept intertwining in Wang Wanchun's mind, and Wang Wanchun would never forget the past few years in his life.

But why did I still focus on following Zhang Defu?Could it be that he has become the same person as Zhang Defu?
Wang Wanchun couldn't help asking himself in his heart again and again.

"Secretary Wang? Secretary Wang?" Guan Yuanchao's voice pulled Wang Wanchun back from his trance.

"Hmm~~~ What's the matter?" Wang Wanchun asked while turning his head to look at Guan Yuanchao.

"I see that you are frowning. Is there something wrong?" Guan Yuanchao is the Minister of Armed Forces of the commune, in charge of all the militia teams in the commune, and Wang Zhong, who is also the militia leader of the Maixiang brigade, is also his subordinate.

"It's nothing!" Wang Wanchun didn't even think about it himself, it still needs time.
