The Shilipu production team held a meeting attended by all members.
At this meeting,
A serious verbal conflict broke out between the old and new gang members.
The cause of the conflict was that the old co-operative members of the Shilipu production team began to have very strong opinions on the land in the cofferdams cultivated by the new co-operative members.
The new land inside these cofferdams.
Because they are all formed by the accumulation of silt washed away by heavy rains, these newly added fertile fields are very fertile.
There is also a small pond inside the cofferdam, which is very convenient for irrigation.
This makes the crops grown in the cofferdam grow much better than those grown in other fields of the Shilipu production team!
Logically speaking,
Everyone should be happy if the crops in the production area are growing well. This means that after the autumn harvest, everyone will be able to get a little more food.
But the old members don't think so.
Because these newly added lands are almost all those affected by the disaster, and the new members formed by the disaster are responsible for farming.
Because those cofferdams are scattered in various ravines.
In order to facilitate farming and management, the newly affected people who joined the Shilipu production team will live in groups of ten or eight people around these cofferdams.
Because the place where they live is really spread out.
There is simply no way to go out and work together like normal production team members.
Therefore, the Shilipu production team formulated a disguised contracting system based on the actual situation.
New members only need to hand over a sum of grain to the collective based on the land area.
The remaining food is at their own disposal.
Now that the old co-operative members have seen that the crops in the cofferdam are growing so well, they estimate that each of the new co-operative members will be able to receive at least 500 kilograms of grain this year.
As for the old co-operative members, they still distribute grain according to the original distribution mechanism of the production team.
At the end of the year, strong laborers go to the production team storage room to receive rations based on the standard of 380 kilograms.
Adult women are divided based on 360 pounds.
For the elderly and children, the amount should be reduced as appropriate.
The new members can get more food, but the old members are obviously not happy: Why?
When these cofferdams were first built, it was the old commune members who contributed the most! The people who came to enjoy the fruits of victory the most were the disaster-stricken people who were taken in?
No one would be happy if this happened.
So at this meeting.
The old members almost went crazy collectively, accusing the new members of stealing the fruits of their labor and taking huge advantage.
on the stage.
The cadres of the production team were lined up in a row, and they all sat there and looked at it coldly. Everyone was in a mess under the table.
Originally sitting on the rostrum, in the middle position, should be Dou Jiande, the production team leader.
Then next to Dou Jiande, this is Accountant Li, the second oldest person in ten thousand years.
On the right hand side, there should be a "poor peasant team leader" who has a high false title but does not have any real power.
But Dou Jiande took the initiative to give up the top spot to Luo Xuan.
Thus,
Accountant Li couldn't even be considered the second child in ten thousand years, and was directly promoted to the third child.
So Accountant Li, who was sitting on the stage at this time, just kept smoking, staring at the audience with a serious expression, and allowed them to make trouble.
Faced with the accusations from the old members, the new members did not dare to fight back.
One by one, they sat there with their heads haggard and let the other party scold and yell at them.
"Bang——"
Luo Xuan reached out and slapped the table, causing Accountant Li to jump as he was caught off guard!
"Shut up, everyone."
Luo Xuan said, "Who thinks he has suffered a big loss? Come forward and let's talk about it."
The audience suddenly became quiet.
Humans are group animals. When a single individual blends into a large group, his IQ will become lower.
They will choose to follow the herd without hesitation, thereby losing their original thinking ability.
"Lao Li, the land planted by the new members is more fertile, and they may be allocated more grain at the end of the year. Do you have a strong opinion on this?"
Luo Xuan asked Lao Li Tou, "If you have any opinions, you can come to me to discuss it, or you can discuss it with other cadres of the production team.
But why are you angry at the new members? Are they easy to bully?"
Old Li was stunned: Just now others were scolding the new members for getting something for nothing. After scolding them for being accepted by Shilipu, now they are taking advantage of the old members.
As for Lao Li Tou, he was not involved in any of this just now.
For Lao Li Tou, he now drives the production team's donkey cart.
When farming is busy, I go to the fields to fertilize.
Usually when there is nothing else, Lao Li would use a donkey cart to go to the restaurant to get some gush water and beef bone soup.
Doing all these jobs has its own merits and is extremely easy.
Even Lao Li often helped the cosmetics factory haul some raw materials, cartons, etc. Not only that, sometimes the restaurant needed to haul food, lamb, etc. Lao Li would also help.
And when he was doing these jobs.
In cosmetics factories and restaurants, Lao Li would be given a few cents or even one yuan as a "three-wheel fee" in the name of "asking someone to forward the expenses."
as his reward.
In this way, Lao Li's life in the production team was quite comfortable!
This is absolutely incomparable to the past: if members of the production team want to earn some cash, their channels are very limited.
We are not selling eggs.
I just need to go to the mountains to pick some sea buckthorn fruits, dig out some Chinese medicinal materials, sell them, and then I can get eighty cents in cash.
It can be used to buy kerosene and matches for the family, pay school fees for the children, etc.
Thanks to the support of the Shilipu production team, a restaurant and a cosmetics factory were opened.
Nowadays, Lao Li has a bald head. He can earn at least 10 yuan more in cash a month by pulling things for these two companies.
It is said that at the end of the year, the hotel will definitely pay dividends to everyone.
And cosmetics factories will also give everyone money.
Calculating this, Mr. Li’s family’s current annual income is a full 2,300 yuan more than before!
Nowadays, Lao Litou works more easily and is in a much happier mood.
For many years, Lao Litou never drank alcohol and did not dare to buy a candy.
Nowadays, at his house, he occasionally drinks wine, and such precious peanuts are often placed on the Kang table.
Now the grooves on Old Man Li's face have long since relaxed, and his whole person has become radiant.
Especially Xiao Rongrong from Lao Tou Li’s family.
In her free time, she would run errands for Huang Xuan and Li Xue, and do some miscellaneous little things, such as sending messages.
Xiao Rongrong, who was deeply loved by Huang Xuan and Li Xue, even had candies and dimes in her pocket.
What else could Lao Li be dissatisfied with about such a good life?
As for those new community gardens, the land they plant is indeed more fertile, and the grain harvest at the end of the year may actually be more.
But Old Li Tou thought: What does this have to do with me?
Lao Li Tou believes that as long as he cooks his own pot, he can eat steamed buns with mixed noodles every day.
Every once in a while, the restaurant can bring back beef bone soup to soak up the oily taste and improve the food.
It is enough to live such a good life!
As for the new members, how much advantage did they take? Lao Litou would not be jealous at all, let alone jump to accuse them.
They are all suffering people.
The families of these new commune members lost all their relatives and all their property, and were washed here by floods.
Everyone works very hard.
They really regard the crops in the ravine as their own children, and they take care of them carefully.
When it rains heavily, the new members will rush to clear the gullies and drains.
I was afraid that the crops I was responsible for would be flooded.
Encountering continuous big sun.
When the leaves of the crops begin to wilt, the new members of the commune will rush over to fetch water and water the crops one by one.
Since the new members work so hard, there is no need for any scorers in the production team, the production team leader said in the past.
They will consciously take care of these crops well.
Then at the end of the year, it is appropriate for the new members to share more food.
Life is not easy for everyone, and we are all the sufferers at the bottom.
Why bother to make things difficult for others?
Now that Luo Xuan has named everyone, he wants Lao Li Tou to express his opinion.
Old Li Tou had no choice but to stand up.
Before he could speak, his mother-in-law secretly tugged at the corner of his clothes to signal him not to talk nonsense.
"Ahem, since Director Luo wants me to come here and express my opinion, I'll just say a few words!
"I am an uneducated person with a stupid mouth. If I say something well, everyone will listen. If I say something bad, everyone will just take my words as shit and don't take them seriously."
Lao Litou said, "As for the new members at the end of the year, they may be given more food.
I think that’s what people should get, ten drops of sweat and one grain.”
As soon as Lao Litou said this, the old members shouted: "Old Litou, what benefits are you taking from those new members? Why do you want to speak for them?"
Lao Litou yelled loudly: "Well, I said these words out of conscience! Did I take advantage of them in my mind?
Shit! Look at the houses where the new members live. They are all newly dug earthen kilns. There is not even an iron pot in the house, and there are several families sharing the same pot and stove.
The chickens and ducks they raised were bought by the cosmetics factory and donated to them free of charge.
When you talk, don't you touch your conscience? They are already so poor, how much benefit can I get from these women?"
Among the crowd of old commune members, someone laughed: "As you said, they are all aunties. Old Litou, you are not going to get into the corn forest with them, are you?"
People in the production team love to talk about these nasty things and talk about things between men and women.
As soon as the man said this, the audience burst into laughter again.
Luo Xuan, who was sitting on the stage, silently wrote down the guy who said these words in a small notebook.
Lao Li Tou did not bother with the other party on this topic, "Those new members who are busy in the gully every day, most of them are female aunts.
Moreover, she was a helpless and miserable woman who lost her loved ones in the last flood."
Old Li Tou sighed, "Look at these women and aunts, since they came to our Shilipu production team and became one of us.
Well, I just want to ask you comrades, when you were working in the production team, did you work so hard?
You bastards, and you bastards, you all feel your conscience and say, when working in the production team, have you ever been a foreigner?
The hoe is raised so high that when it comes down, it is afraid that the soil will be broken."
"We fool the land, and the land will fool us."
“Crops do grow well on the new land in those ravines.
But that is also watered by people’s sweat drop by drop.”
"If there is a slightly larger piece of dirt, Ai Meili will kneel on the ground and break it into pieces with her hands."
"These new members have to put them on the ground if they have poop or urine."
"They farm like this, so what if they get more food? They deserve it!"
Some people disagreed and said, "Old Litou, what a fart! As for those fertile fields in the cofferdam, whoever grows them will have their own damn crops growing well."
Someone echoed: "Yes, crops can grow well if the land is fertile. Tell me, is this true?"
The land inside the cofferdam is more fertile than the land outside. This is a fact.
But the old members present deliberately ignored the fact that the production team made countless amounts of compost last winter.
Also,
Cow dung, sheep dung, pig dung, and chicken dung in the breeding room of the production team.
There are also chemical fertilizers allocated by the county, all of which have been used on the previous land.
On the newly added land in the cofferdam, no fertilizer was used at all!
The reason why there is such a big gap in the output of the two types of land.
In fact, the reason is that when the old co-operative members go to work, most of them are working as foreigners.
They have no care at all when they are taking care of the crops!
Moreover, these old lands can be deeply cultivated with the help of two tractors.
Why do crops on old land not grow as well as new fertile fields?
The old members know this well.
It's just that under the instigation of thoughtful people, most of the members deliberately pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Especially when they see that the new members may be able to receive more food at the end of the year, these people feel a little unbalanced in their hearts.
In the countryside, this is the way it is: hating others and despising others.
Everyone is talking about it.
The new members were shrinking and did not dare to face the accusations of the old members, while the old members were arrogant and violently attacking the new members.
Ai Meili stood up hesitantly and bowed deeply to the old members: "Uncles and aunts, thank you for taking us in.
Only then did we save a life.
Now everyone feels that those of us who are indebted to you are not qualified to share more food.
Then I am here to make a decision for us new members: at the end of the year, we will put all the food together and divide it.
Uncles and aunts, we will share as much as you share. No, we can also share 20 kilograms less than your rations.
New sisters and brothers, do you think this method is successful?"
The new members were silent for a moment,
Then they all stood up, imitating Ai Meili's example, and bowed deeply to the old members.
Look at their posture.
They all have a grateful heart and are willing to voluntarily reduce their food rations.
Just when the old members of the club were acting as if their evil plot had succeeded.
When I was still preparing to say a few polite words in a hypocritical manner.
