The reason why the household responsibility system was implemented so quickly is all thanks to a place called Xiaogang Village. In the winter of 1978, eighteen households there risked their lives and privately signed a contract to allocate farmland to each household.
The confidentiality agreement was signed, and this was the first shot of reform and opening up.
"If the land is really divided, will this land be our own in the future?" Liu Yuemin doesn't care about anything else. She only cares about the benefits.
Chen Lishu is not very clear about the specific policies, but one thing she knows is that after dividing the land according to labor, you will no longer earn work points. After deducting the taxes payable to the country from all the output value of the land, the rest will be yours.
.
"In fact, after dividing the land, we can get more for more work, which eliminates the situation where big gangs fish in troubled waters and can make full use of the existing land to produce more food."
Every year, the production team selects the seeds they want to plant, including how much corn and how much sorghum. If the output is really guaranteed to each household, then it is up to you whether you want to work with wheat or grow watermelons.
After listening to her explanation, everyone had a general understanding of the household-based household responsibility system, and they all looked forward to it even more.
When Gu Shoufu and the others came back in the evening, they were very happy to see Chen Lishu and Gu Xingping back. Li Xiulan prepared four dishes specially, and the whole family sat around and chatted while eating.
"Even if this year's public rations have been paid, we can distribute the rations after looking at the accounting statistics tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Gu Shoufu took a sip of wine and felt that the coldness of his identity had been dispelled.
Gu Xingye: "Once the grain is divided, we can harvest it again."
After hearing him mention the grain collection, Liu Yuemin kicked Gu Xingmin's leg under the table without leaving any trace.
Gu Xingmin was unwilling, so he turned to the side and continued to eat. Liu Yuemin immediately glared at him angrily.
"Still five hundred per family as last year?" Gu Xingye asked.
In fact, every family is not short of money now. They said they would give 500 yuan just to share the income equally.
"Fourth brother, you don't need to count your second brother when collecting grain this year." Gu Xingmin couldn't count on it, so Liu Yuemin simply spoke on her own.
Gu Shoufu raised his head: "Why did the second brother quit?"
"Dad, Xingmin and I want to go it alone this year."
Liu Yuemin explained with a smile: "The food in the surrounding villages is limited, and there are many people who are following the trend. The little food collected will not be distributed much to everyone. We are all one family, and Xing and I
After discussion, the people decided that we would rather have a hard time and go to my parents' house to see the situation."
Everyone knows what kind of person Liu Yuemin is. It sounds nice to say that she is more miserable and tired, but in fact she dislikes the lack of money and wants to go it alone.
Gu Shoufu didn't say he agreed or disagreed, he just asked: "It's okay to go over there, but can it be done by just the second one?"
Collecting grain is not an easy job, especially now that private reselling of grain is not allowed. The second child’s family doesn’t even have a bicycle, so it would be too busy for one person to collect grain and then sell it.
Liu Yuemin hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't worry, Dad, it's at my parents' house anyway. My dad and my eldest brother can't just watch."
Collecting grain is a way to make money. Now she and Gu Xingmin have saved more than 3,000 yuan, which will definitely be enough to collect grain by themselves. Moreover, she told her family early in the morning and paid to hire her father and elder brother to help collect grain.
In terms of food, I will definitely earn more than working with the family.
Since Liu Yuemin had already said so, Gu Xingmin didn't object, and no one forced it.
After dinner, Chen Lishu and Gu Xingping were a little tired after taking the train all day and walking more than 20 miles. Ruirui was even more sleepy as she sat there and her little head started to feel a little bit tired.
Seeing this, Zhang Qin said: "I am here. Sister and brother, please take the children back to the house to rest."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I will take Ruirui back to the house first." Chen Lishu did not refuse. She stood up and waved to Ruirui. She then spoke to Li Xiulan and Gu Shoufu and took him back to her room.
The next day, when Chen Lishu got up, Zhang Qin and Zhang Xiaoju were talking and making breakfast, and she also helped.
"...If business is bad and we can't sell goods, I'll blame you all, right? What will we do next? Aren't we going to pay you any wages?"
Zhang Xiaoju sighed: "Who knows? We, the employees of the supply and marketing cooperatives, are talking privately now. The rural supply and marketing cooperatives are not as good as the town supply and marketing cooperatives. At any rate, what the superiors tell them is 'profit sharing, excess sharing'"
'Responsibility system, we are suffering, saying that cooperatives are not cooperatives, and federated societies are not federated societies, it is just like the saying 'hold it in your arms when you use it, push it to the cliff when you don't use it'."
Since the reform and opening up, there have been many self-employed businesses in the city, and markets have been opened in communes and villages. The supply and marketing cooperatives in the village have been attacked from both ends, and business has been getting worse day by day. Especially after the implementation of the dual-track system of planned economy and market economy, the supply and marketing cooperatives in the village are no longer the same as before.
and the world of stores.
Originally, in addition to Zhang Xiaoju's salary of fifteen yuan a month, she also received work points as a subsidy from the team. Now that the situation has changed, I am afraid that both ends of it will be ruined.
"If it really doesn't work, I won't do it." Zhang Xiaoju pretended to smile casually: "It's not that we have to divide the land, otherwise Xingye alone would be too busy. It just so happens that I still have time to help and take care of Pan.
Hope."
Zhang Changhe arranged for her to work as a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative right after she graduated. She has been working there for several years, and she already has feelings for her. How could she just let it go? But in this situation, Zhang Xiaoju has no other option.
Chen Lishu saw her reluctance, thought for a while and said, "Fourth brother and sister, if you still want to continue working, I think it is better to contract the supply and marketing cooperative myself."
"Contract?" Zhang Xiaoju was puzzled, and Zhang Qin was also confused.
"It's almost the same as doing it yourself, but you have to be responsible for your own profits and losses. You pay rent to the boss every year and run it yourself. After contracting, you will have more freedom than before. You have the final say on what you want to sell and what you don't want to sell. You can make money after deducting the contracting fees.
All the money is yours."
"What if we lose money?" Zhang Xiaoju is most concerned about this matter. The current situation of the supply and marketing cooperative is not optimistic. How can she dare to pay for the contract herself knowing that she will lose money?
Chen Lishu looked at Zhang Xiaoju and smiled but did not answer. It all depends on her own thoughts. In business, there are profits and losses, but it seems that not many people are losing money in business at the moment.
The three of them got started and quickly made breakfast. After the whole family had eaten and gave Ruirui a few words, Chen Lishu took the cashmere fabrics and woolen fabrics she brought back and went to town.
