Chapter 31 Chinese Peasants Don't Love Land
"Business will start tomorrow?"
"Well, I'll go to the village committee to sign the contract tomorrow, and then I'll do it."
It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and the noisy crowd had already dispersed. Lu Ye was covered with a thick quilt and lay on the bed. He could vaguely hear the sound of his parents talking in the room outside.
"Where is the 'Dayuntou'?" Ye Yuanqiu's somewhat anxious voice came, "I don't care what river embankment you have. After all, I just want two teams of people to join forces to sell river sand and dimes."
"Hahaha..." Lu Huoxing's refreshing laughter rang, "Wife, you said it right away. You really started doing business!"
"Don't talk to me about that. I'll ask you where the 'Dayuntou'." Ye Yuanqiu seemed to spit lightly and asked again.
Lu Huoxing smiled and said, "That's not a trivial matter. After the Peng team members left, we Yan team divided the fields. I asked everyone before the lottery. I chose the acres of land in the 'Dayuntou'. No one opposed it and agreed. The fields there are not good fields, and the output can only be said to be medium and low."
"That's good." Ye Yuanqiu seemed to breathe a light breath, and then said with some concern, "If I turn back and sell breakfast in the field of 'Dayuntou', will others say it?"
Lu Huoxing said indifferently: "What do you say? If you really feel that you can earn money, we will buy it from the team. Anyway, you shouldn't be too big. It's enough to have a few dozen square meters. In the past two years, those people's fields in front of the door have taken up yellow mud all day long, and I don't know how much they have. What's there to say about us..."
The voice of speaking gradually became smaller.
Lu Ye pulled the six-pound thick quilt covered with his body and unconsciously retracted his head into the quilt.
Perhaps because he was a little excited tonight, he was lying in bed without much sleepiness, but instead became a little energetic.
"I found that my dad seemed to enjoy this feeling of being in the spotlight!"
From the last time the river bank blocked the gangsters outside to steal the river sand, to the team meeting held at home this evening.
Lu Ye has never seen or had this side that Lu Huoxing had before, but he was young at that time and had long forgotten it.
But after observing this for a short time, he found that he seemed to like this feeling very much.
His eyebrows were dancing and his face was red, as if his body and mind were greatly satisfied.
"But it's normal to think about it." Lu Ye curled up, with a faint smile on his face in the darkness. "It's something that some people think is very good for them to be praised and led by others."
Compared to his own personality, Lu Ye has experienced loss and inferiority complex. He gritted his teeth and climbed upwards, stumbled and broke through, and polished it more introverted and practical.
When I started a business, I could occasionally be a scene person and say some scenes, but I should be more utilitarian in my heart. I followed the idea of making a fortune in a quiet voice, not considering other people's eyes and useless social interactions. I would have clearer goals in many things I did.
Of course, he also understood Lu Huoxing. People like men actually enjoy this state in their bones. Especially in small places or towns and villages, human relationships, relationships, and scenes.
"Why should my dad become the leader in poverty alleviation and prosperity in the village?" In the darkness, this idea popped up in Lu Ye's mind.
However, he shook his head again, the difficulty factor was too high.
To get rid of his own family difficulties, he has the experience of his previous life. Even if his parents follow the trajectory of his previous life, there is no change. As he grows older, his operability increases. About ten to fifteen years later, he has the ability to do it when he goes to high school to college.
But if you have to pull two teams of Peng Yan and go to Yun Village, it will be a problem.
In the general environment of the market economy, individual farmers really don’t have much choice and have too little capital unless they can really unite.
Lu Ye has a certain understanding of the place where he was born and raised here. Most people are not ignorant, but due to education and insight, and the careful consideration left over from long-term hardships. It actually exists if you want to take advantage of as much as possible.
After the household contract contract was established in 1982, it seemed that everyone had separated from the "distance" of a large group, and everyone was very happy and no longer restricted. Every household did it for themselves, fully exerting its subjective initiative, and relying on farming did not change much.
In rural areas in the south, there are many people and few lands. After the household contract responsibility system is provided, the living difficulties of many people have not been directly improved.
In Hanx County, it is known that eight mountains, one river and one branch of land, and the individual cultivated land area is very small. For example, in Lu Ye’s family, one person has nine parts of land, and the family of four has three acres and six parts of land.
Based on the yield per mu, it is more than 2,500 kilograms. It is definitely enough to eat, but after deducting the withdrawal, fertilizer and pesticides, there is not much money that can be really put into your hands.
Lu Ye did not have much affirmation of the "home contract responsibility system", but he did not deny that when the times develop, some of them are inevitable results.
In his opinion, the greatest significance of the household contract responsibility system is that farmers can freely control their own labor and get rid of the individual's dependence on the collective.
This is why hundreds of millions of migrant workers were able to influx in, and the development of urbanization provided cheap labor for a large number of enterprises.
However, for rural areas only, especially in areas with large populations and small land, "investment of households" does not necessarily have too many benefits for rural economic development. Individuals have too low risk resistance and too little capital.
Moreover, the most fundamental factor in improving agricultural production is never the individual's enthusiasm, but pesticides, fertilizers and excellent varieties.
In fact, in later generations, the production and operation model of rural cooperatives has appeared again in many rural areas in the south.
A large number of young laborers have been outflowed, resulting in abandonment in many rural areas.
Some people invest a large amount of land through cooperatives, then hire old farmers to use small and medium-sized machinery to harvest rice, and drones to spray pesticides.
This is also the inevitable development of the times.
"Chinese farmers don't love the land!" Lu Ye lay on the bed and tossed and sighed silently.
He and the generation he grew up around him have longed for since childhood that they can get rid of their identity as a "farmer".
I don’t want my children to be farmers, or even to go to agricultural colleges.
This is a personal insight that Lu Ye and many people from rural areas have. When it comes to rural areas, there are much more people who dislike them than in cities.
Lu Ye once watched an interview with old farmers online. The reporter's original intention may be to get the view that Chinese farmers love the land.
