Every household in Kushan has planted watermelon seedlings in the three-thirds of land at the door and in the newly purchased homestead. They only hope that this land that does not need to be turned over to the public grain can harvest greater value.
When Secretary Ji came, he saw a person squatting in every melon field. Even the bright sun couldn't take away the people staring at the watermelon seedlings in the field.
If he doesn't understand, ask Captain Ou.
Captain Ou gritted his teeth. He tried to persuade him, but to no avail. "They all calculated that Li Zhengguo sold tens of thousands of watermelons last year, and they also owed money for buying a homestead, so they regarded the watermelon seedlings as treasures and were worried that they would be betrayed by others.
It's ruined. Not to mention the little sunshine, it's even more exposed at night, and they even moved out a cool bed and slept on the ground to keep watch."
"Are you crazy?"
"almost."
"No wonder you said that the homestead land cannot be sold. It turns out that Li Zhengguo didn't tell the truth? Did the members calculate it after planting?"
"Some watermelon seedlings are released after they have been reserved, but Tian Jing is only allowed to make reservations, and is only allowed to order the quantity once, which is a test of their courage and determination."
"Then there's no need to guard the watermelon patch so tightly, right?"
"But there are more than a dozen families that Tian Jing is unwilling to sell seedlings to anymore."
"Isn't Comrade Tian Jing a stingy person? Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to sell watermelon seedlings to everyone."
"There are too many things going on here. Li Aiguo is because..., the Zhang family is because..., Li Erzuo's family is because..., and the Huang family is because..."
"Should!"
Secretary Ji was furious, "Comrade Tian Jing is holding back to support your work. She is right. Now is a market economy, and common prosperity is unrealistic. You can no longer ask her for collective honor."
"I see."
When checking the sales situation of the homestead in the team headquarters, Secretary Ji pondered for a moment and said, "The matter of the homestead has been postponed to September. The members have sold watermelons and have money in their hands. They will definitely buy more. Just do it again."
It's been delayed for half a year. The matter of changing the team to the village may have to wait for a while longer."
"Secretary Ji is doing it for the members, but the members don't understand."
Secretary Ji waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, they will understand sooner or later. They all know how to follow Feng Tianjing and Li Zhengguo, as long as those two people understand."
"Except for Tian Jing, no one else has the guts or money to buy the canteen and the educated youth spot. Ask Li Zhengguo and Tian Jing. If they don't want it, they can tear it down and turn it into farmland."
After Captain Ou heard what Secretary Ji said, he clapped his hands and said, "No, I might have been fooled again."
Secretary Ji was startled, "What's wrong?"
"Tian Jing wants two acres of land by the river. There is a canteen and an educated youth center between the land and the river. She definitely wants these two yards."
"Two acres?"
"Yes, the Li family's work points..."
"Alas~" Secretary Ji sighed, "No matter what conditions Comrade Tian Jing proposes, you should accept them. She has a strong balance in her heart. She won't go too far, and she won't let anyone hold her back."
"It's like she only needs two acres of land. If there is a problem with the two acres of land, she will directly return it to the team, and the loss will not be big."
"And her personal property was all bought with cash. No one can catch her pigtails, and you will not be embarrassed either."
"The work points given to Dr. Yang are exchanged for the clinic's homestead. Only a crazy person will take back the clinic and drive the doctor away."
Captain Ou shook his head, "No, I'm not sure. You happen to be here, I'll call her."
"That's fine."
…
When she heard that Secretary Ji was looking for her, Tian Jing asked Captain Ou directly, "Why?"
"Canteen and educated youth spot."
"Oh, wait a minute, I'll bring the money."
"Didn't I hear that you have finished borrowing it? Li Jianguo borrowed two thousand yuan."
"We take 10% of Ouyang Lei's business."
Thanks to Ouyang Lei for coming back, from now on, no one will be able to calculate how much money she has in her hands.
Captain Ou was extremely envious. Ouyang Lei had already driven a Shanghai brand car, and 10% of it would definitely be a lot.
…
During the face-to-face interview with Secretary Ji, Tian Jing said simply, "I want the canteen and the educated youth point, and I also want the land between the two courtyards. I have the right to use the land by the Ku River."
Secretary Ji didn’t understand, “What is the right to use?”
"That land is collectively owned. I don't buy or rent it, but I want to plant flowers and grass or put some things to beautify the environment on it. You have no right to shovel it away or order me to move it. This is my use.
right."
Secretary Ji was very interested, "Do you want to turn that piece of land by the river into a park?"
"No, it's a private park. Everyone can enjoy it and play. But if someone makes me unhappy, destroys things, or talks nonsense, I have the right not to allow that person and his family to play again.
.”
Secretary Ji agreed, "Yes, you will pay to beautify the environment. What do we have to disagree with?"
Tian Jing asked more importantly, "What about the piece of land between the two yards?"
"What are you going to use it for?"
"I want to build a big yard."
Secretary Ji smiled. A large yard with more than an acre of land must be different. "Then we will sell it to you as a homestead together. Are you satisfied?"
Tian Jing was also happy, "Very satisfied, thank you, Secretary Ji."
"You're welcome. When the watermelons come out this season, the living standard in Kushan should be considered well-off, right?"
Tian Jing shook his head, "Not yet, it's just the beginning. It's my family's right now, but since you mentioned watermelon, I'll tell you what I think."
Secretary Ji became serious and said, "Say."
"I limit the number of watermelon seedlings that members can order to suppress the over-saturation of the watermelon market."
"Everyone has about the same planting time and similar maturation time. If they are put on the market in large quantities, the sales volume will be so large. What should we do? Should we sell them at a lower price? So who is cheating whom?"
"Watermelons have a maturity period and a shelf life. If they cannot be sold, will they rot in the ground? Even if they are barely sold this year, what about next year? Will the planting area be increased?"
"They only know money and don't understand market issues. If I don't sell seedlings, they will raise seedlings themselves. They don't mention whether they will lose money next year. What about next year's food? Do they still need to eat?"
Secretary Ji nodded, "I understand what you mean, Captain Ou, the planting area is limited. Each family is only allowed to plant cash crops in three-thirds of the land, and the remaining land must be planted with grain."
"yes."
Tian Jing paid more than 900 yuan and got two yard keys and proof of the homestead, as well as proof of the right to use the land by the river. There was no land deed, and they were all proof stamped with the official seal of the production team.
Tian Jing was very happy after buying the canteen and the educated youth point. In the future, she would build a large villa near the river.
The two most difficult assets in the team were dealt with, and the captain and party secretary were also very happy.
The members were unhappy. They were busy calculating how much money they could earn from watermelons this year and how much they would plant more watermelons next year. However, they were told that they would only be allowed to plant three-thirds of the land next year.
This is to cut off their source of income and cannot be tolerated.
The team headquarters office receives many members every day, not just to buy homesteads, but to complain about the team's excessive interference with their freedom.
Didn't it say that after contracting the land, you only need to pay all the public grain or money, and the rest will not be interfered with?
The captain was so angry that he called these people white-eyed wolves, "Okay, if you don't listen to me, fine, but don't come and cry to me in the future. When the time is up, we will collect the contracting fee. There will be no delay, only enforcement."
After scolding and driving the people away, Captain Ou gasped in anger.
Party Secretary Yang shook his head, "Guochang, don't worry too much, you will understand when they suffer the consequences."
Captain Ou sighed, "But I feel sorry for the wasted year. How much food will be grown?"
"Didn't you tell them that Li Liguo and Ouyang Meihua would take over Ouyang Lei's path? Shengmi's kindness will fight against his hatred."
Captain Ou looked at the branch secretary suspiciously, "That's not right, Brother Yang's temper was not like this before."
Yang Zhishu took a puff of cigarette, exhaled it slowly, and then said, "We used to be a group, but now we work separately. You have to learn to let go. After my two sons were separated, I almost didn't worry about it."
"Because there is no end to worry about. There will be grandchildren after my son. The more I control them, the more I feel that they can't do this or that. But if they don't let go, how will they grow up?"
Captain Ou slammed the table and said, "I understand. Let them fall to pieces and bleed."
