Era: Starting from cave dwellings in northern Shaanxi

Chapter 160 Visitors from Xiangjiang

"Secretary Sha, it's only the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Why did you bring all the people from Shapingba here?"

"That's right, the snow hasn't melted yet, so it's a little early to open the ground, right?"

"Did Captain Xiangyang call you here?"

As people from Shuangshui Bay continued to gather, many members who were familiar with Sha Hongcheng began to ask, mainly because they had not received the news before, so they were a little confused.

In fact, not only the people in Shuangshuiwan are confused, but also the people in Shapingba.

Yesterday afternoon, Shahongcheng sent people door-to-door to inform them that they should bring all their tools and go to Shuangshui Bay to work on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Although some people had not yet finished the first month gate, after receiving the notice, they agreed to come down without saying a word.

If they want to work elsewhere, they will inevitably complain. How can anyone work on the fourth day of the lunar new year?

But after hearing that it was Shuangshuiwan, it was okay.

I just received the New Year's goods from Shuangshuiwan on the New Year's Eve. Why did I go to help with some work?

After all, it is not only Shuangshuiwan that is proud of itself, but also Shapingba.

Those who received the New Year's goods were positive, but those who did not received the New Year's goods were even more positive, because this time they were so envious that no one wanted to stay at home.

It wasn't until people from Shuangshuiwan started asking what they were doing that they realized what they were doing.

Yes, what are we here for?

Even if you have to work, you have to be able to do it.

"Don't worry, everyone. It was indeed Xiangyang who asked me to bring people here. As for why I'm here, I'll let Xiangyang come over later and let him make the announcement."

Sha Hongcheng did not explain the reason, but let it slip.

Now, everyone was obviously more curious.

Fortunately, we didn't have to wait too long. Sun Xiangyang, the old party secretary and Sun Enguo arrived together.

"Happy New Year to my uncles, aunts, and brothers and sisters from Shapingba."

After arriving, Sun Xiangyang first paid New Year's greetings to everyone in Shapingba.

"Captain Xiangyang, happy New Year."

"Third Captain, happy New Year."

The response to Sun Xiangyang was undoubtedly a more enthusiastic voice.

As things went down one after another, Sun Xiangyang now has considerable prestige in Shapingba.

The key is that Sha Hongcheng also kept instilling in everyone the concept that Sun Xiangyang is one of his own.

Slowly, everyone really regarded Sun Xiangyang as one of their own.

"The main reason I invite you here today is to dig cave dwellings."

When those happy New Year voices slowly faded, Sun Xiangyang began to tell the purpose of summoning everyone in Shapingba.

"Dig a cave dwelling?"

"Is the dormitory over there at the coal mine not enough?"

"In this case, we have to dig it out."

The people in Shapingba nodded immediately.

They also knew that the people who worked in the coal mines in Shapingba had to dig ten cave dwellings as dormitories because of the long distance and inconvenience.

It's not like you live with your mother-in-law and children, they are all big men, so just squeeze in, and logically that's enough.

But since Sun Xiangyang said he wanted to dig a cave dwelling, he would dig it.

Anyway, being idle during the New Year is nothing but idleness.

"The cave dwellings dug this time are not for the coal mines, but for you."

Sun Xiangyang said loudly.

"Dig for us? We don't live here, what kind of cave dwellings are dug for us?"

"Yeah, we can't move Shapingba to Shuangshuiwan, right?"

Following Sun Xiangyang's words, everyone became even more puzzled.

“When Shuangshuiwan was reclaiming the black land, we had the help of Shapingba members, but because we had no place to stay at that time, we had to come in the morning and go back at night. Not to mention wasting time, everyone was very tired.

After the snow melts, new farmland will have to be reclaimed and canals will need to be built in Shuangshui Bay. At that time, the members of Shapingba will also be needed to help, but then it will not be voluntary work, but real work. Get work points.

In addition, there are women who are responsible for paper-cutting in Shapingba. They will come to Shuangshuiwan for training later, and they also need a place to stay.

Considering this situation, I discussed with the old party secretary and party secretary Sha and decided to dig more cave dwellings. Then everyone can live here directly without having to run back every day. "

Following Sun Xiangyang's words, people on both sides started talking.

Shuangshui Bay is a surprise. Could it be that Heilong Land has been discovered again?

Didn't you hear the third captain say that after the snow melts, the land will be reclaimed?

The people in Shapingba are envious.

What kind of bad luck did Shuangshuiwan have? It's just a piece of black land. Why is there still more?

Plus that coal mine...

The more they thought about it, the more envious they became.

On the contrary, digging cave dwellings became an irrelevant matter.

Sun Xiangyang had discussed with the old branch secretary and Sha Hongcheng a few years ago whether to directly disclose the news of Shapingba's relocation, but the final result of the discussion was not to disclose it yet.

After all, the New Year has just passed, and Sha Hongcheng has not yet gone out to make connections to promote the relocation.

Another one is that it is revealed too early. Once the news gets out, it will easily cause unnecessary trouble. It is better to wait until the higher-ups confirm it before announcing it.

Therefore, Sun Xiangyang came up with a barely plausible reason.

"Captain, is it possible that our Shuangshui Bay has discovered Heilong Land again?"

Some people couldn't help but ask loudly, and this was what everyone wanted to know.

"Do you think the black land is like Chinese cabbage? How can you find it so easily? The cultivated land found this time is similar to the cultivated land we have before. However, we will have electricity this year. We will have electric pumps and build a few canals by then, and the output will be the same. It will improve a lot, and it will be enough for us to eat."

Sun Xiangyang looked at the person who spoke and said.

Although it is not black land, no one would have too much arable land for growing food, so everyone still looked excited.

The people over at Shapingba had heard some rumors before, such as that Shuangshui Bay was going to be electrified, but it had not been confirmed after all. Now that they heard Sun Xiangyang admit it personally, they couldn't help but feel even more envious.

How great would it be if Shuangshuiwan was replaced by their Shapingba?

"Okay, I will mark the place where the cave dwellings are dug later. Not only Shapingba, but also the people here in Shuangshuiwan must contribute and try to dig all the cave dwellings as soon as possible. With the cave dwellings in place, the members of Shapingba will come to help in the future. When we are here, we will have a place to live. Even if we have reclaimed a lot of farmland and cannot plant it, we can contract it to the members of Shapingba to farm it together.

By then, not only the members of Shuangshuiwan will no longer have to go hungry, but also the members of Shapingba will be able to have enough to eat every day. "

Sun Xiangyang spoke again and promised loudly.

Everyone in Shapingba breathed a little heavier when they heard that they were still responsible. Their eyes turned red when they looked at the place covered with snow in the distance.

I wish I could dig the cave dwelling now and then reclaim the farmland. There is food and shelter.

What difference does it make if you live in Shuangshuiwan or Shapingba?

"Third Captain, just give the order, we will all obey you."

"By the way, Third Captain, do we count as temporary members under your command?"

The man who had been a temporary player before could not help shouting.

Although it is just a name, they feel that this identity is quite good and is equivalent to one of their own. This name was used when they distributed New Year's goods previously.

"Of course. From today on, as long as we are in Shuangshuiwan, we are all temporary members of the Shuangshuiwan Third Production Team."

Sun Xiangyang glanced at the person who handed him the pillow with satisfaction. He was in his twenties, a very active person, um, he had potential. He would go back and talk to Secretary Sha, who must be promoted.

Everyone in Shapingba who became a temporary member of the Shuangshuiwan Third Production Team was delighted. Then when Sun Xiangyang started to mark the place, they spontaneously started shoveling the snow in a small group, cleaning up the loess underneath, and then settled it. location and start digging cave dwellings.

Whether it is Shuangshuiwan or Shapingba, everyone is used to living in cave dwellings, and naturally they know how to dig cave dwellings. According to Sun Xiangyang's request, these cave dwellings are basically three-hole, which can accommodate a large family.

Soon, as arrangements were made one by one, one vacant place after another was filled with people.

Shuangshui Bay has a small population, but the area is quite large. Accommodating another Shapingba is not a problem at all. All that is needed now is time.

After everyone was arranged, Sun Xiangyang and his party came to the old party secretary's house.

"Sha, cave dwellings have already been dug. You should hurry up, lest by then the cave dwellings are dug and you guys can't move."

After sitting down, the old branch secretary said impatiently.

This time it was really cheaper in Shapingba.

"Don't worry, if I can't come forward, I will drag the young man to come forward in person. It's just a move to a village, and it won't make much noise."

Sha Hongcheng said confidently.

"That's fine. When we move here, how will the two brigades be merged? What will you, the party secretary, do?"

The old party secretary simply made the topic clear.

"Xiang Yang, what do you think?"

Sha Hongcheng kicked the ball directly to Sun Xiangyang.

"I have inquired before. Some large villages will also be divided into several production brigades. The integration of Shuangshuiwan and Shapingba is not a matter of a day or two. So in the early stage, I suggest that it is better to separate them. In name, Shapingba Brigade belongs to Shuangshuiwan Natural Village, but the two brigades are still independent. They have just been renamed Shuangshuiwan First Production Brigade and Shuangshuiwan Second Production Brigade. As for the previous cadres, there will be no changes. This will make management easier. .”

Sun Xiangyang said simply.

If the two production brigades are all merged, there will be more troubles. Rather than doing this, it is better to follow the current model.

In fact, for those large villages, it is actually a kind of division.

However, the combined population of Shuangshuiwan and Shapingba is less than 1,000, which is nothing compared to those big villages with 2,000 or 3,000 people.

Furthermore, in a few years, the production brigade model will disappear and become a thing of the past. After several years of running-in, Shuangshuiwan and Shapingba will basically be integrated into one. At that time, a unified village committee will be established. , which is equivalent to a matter of course, without any twists and turns.

"Well, that's good, so that everyone is not familiar with it."

Sha Hongcheng nodded.

The old branch secretary seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Old party secretary, although our Shuangshuiwan and Shapingba have a good relationship, after all, one is named Sun and the other is Sha. There are still fights in this family, let alone two families, so there is no rush. A few years later, When everyone is living a good life, integration will naturally occur."

Sun Xiangyang could naturally guess why the old party secretary was dissatisfied, but the other party was not doing it for himself, but more for him.

"I think you should turn your elbow outward. Since the two brigades are independent, the coal mine must be divided according to the previous division. We cannot directly take half of the benefits when Shapingba brigade moves here, otherwise the members of Shuangshuiwan brigade will also have Opinion."

The old party secretary glared at Sun Xiangyang, then looked at Sha Hongcheng and said seriously.

"No problem. Since we are divided into two production brigades, we will settle the accounts separately."

Sha Hongcheng nodded.

This is also normal mode.

In villages with several production brigades, the cultivated land is divided in advance and the grain is harvested at the end of the year. What is yours is yours, what is mine is mine, and will not be consolidated and settled together.

If your team has a side job, that is your own business.

The money I earn from my side job is also shared by the members of my brigade.

That being the case, coal mines cannot be lumped together.

Even that piece of black land belongs to Shuangshuiwan Brigade.

The farmland to be reclaimed next belongs to Shapingba, which was Sun Xiangyang's original plan.

Another advantage of this is that the cadres of the production teams don't have to worry anymore. After all, there are two production brigades.

But after the village committees are merged, there will definitely be a lot of changes, and it is impossible to have two teams all the time.

However, that day is still several years away.

Sun Xiangyang believed that in a few years, with the continuous development of Shuangshuiwan and the continuous improvement of his status, as well as the two generals, the old party secretary and the party secretary Sha, whoever dared to jump around would just be killed. .

Just as cave dwellings were being dug in Shuangshuiwan in full swing, a man with a rolled-up tongue and a tightly wrapped man came straight to Shuangshuiwan on a sleigh pulled by a donkey.

"Manager Huang, is this your first time riding a sleigh? How does it feel?"

Xu Weiqing asked with a smile on his face.

Yesterday, the third day of the Lunar New Year, he was called from his home to his work, and then he met Manager Huang from Xiangjiang. According to the person’s self-introduction, his name was Huang Defa, and he was the manager of a jewelry and art company called Huang’s. , this time I came here to cooperate with a production brigade called Shuangshuiwan.

When he first heard the news, Xu Weiqing almost thought he had heard it wrong. People from Xiangjiang came to a poor valley in northern Shaanxi to cooperate?

But looking at the letter of introduction in the other person's hand, he couldn't help but not believe it.

After confirming again and again that he heard correctly, his curiosity aroused.

After all, according to his understanding, there are no jewels in Shuangshui Bay.

After subsequent inquiries, I learned that they actually wanted to purchase paper-cut paintings.

This also made Xu Weiqing dumbfounded again. Is there anyone buying paper-cut paintings?

If it weren't for the letter of introduction in the other person's hand, he would have almost thought that the other person was a liar.

Under the strong request of the other party, he could only go out in person and accompany the other party to Shuangshui Bay.

In any case, they were 'foreign guests', and the county asked him to entertain them. However, after knowing that the other party was just purchasing paper-cut paintings, neither he nor the county took it seriously.

It's just a paper-cut painting. How much does it cost?

What's the use of wiping your butt even if it gets wet on your hands?

It is estimated that the other party has relatives there, so he asked the county to come forward under the guise.

It's not like this has never happened before.

In this way, there is a picture of using a donkey to pull a sled and heading straight to Shuangshui Bay.

　The sky and the earth changed suddenly. I opened the sky with one click, and suddenly goose feathers and heavy snow were flying, and the sky and the earth were completely white!

　　However, Xiao Shui was also attacked by a severe cold. He had a fever of 38 degrees and was in a state of confusion. He only had one chapter for all Taoist friends to appreciate.
