When the rooster crowed for the first time, the work bell rang again. Liu Chen got up, rubbed his scarlet eyes, dressed, washed, and ate.

Everyone saw Liu Chen coming and greeted him with a smile. He was a tractor driver, so the treatment was pretty good.

"Stop your ink stains, kid. Hurry up and drive the tractor. Later we will go to the commune to share food." Captain Liu took a puff from his pipe and said.

Liu Chen was stunned at first. He had to use a tractor to pay the public rations. This was too cool.

Last night I was still complaining about tractors consuming gas, but now I don’t mind consuming gas anymore.

When everyone heard Captain Liu talking about using a tractor to pull rice to deliver rice to the public, everyone was happy. They didn't have to carry it on their shoulders. Can they be unhappy?

"The fire has a day off today. We all go to the commune. Then everyone will go to the supply and marketing cooperative."

As soon as Captain Liu finished speaking, all the members were heard shouting "Wow!", jumping, and cheering.

Everyone pulled out the big cart, put the rice on the cart, and pulled the donkey cart and mule cart. Anyway, this year there is no need to push a wheelbarrow or a cart, let alone carry it on the shoulders.

Everyone happily crowded into the car. It was the first time for many members to ride on a tractor, and many of them had never sat on a tractor in their lives.

"Everyone, sit tight and let's go."

Everyone was sitting on the tractor, smiling like flowers,

"This guy is better. He's very energetic. Look, there are so many of us here, so it doesn't take any effort at all."

Liu Chen drove very slowly, mainly because the road was really bumpy, with black smoke coming out suddenly, and he staggered to the grain station.

There was a long queue at the entrance of the grain station, including mule carts, horse-drawn carriages, donkey carts, flat carts, wheelbarrows...the queue stretched for several miles.

"Oh, isn't this Captain Li from Lijiazhai? Why did you run away when you saw me?"

Li Jianshe from Lijiazhai saw Captain Liu getting off the tractor and trying to hide in the crowd. He knew in his heart that Liu Ziqiang was not someone to be trifled with.

The last time I exchanged tractors with him, this man didn't look good on me either.

"You're not too late. Your donkey cart is pretty fast."

Liu Ziqiang caught up and patted Li Jianshe on the shoulder with a smile.

Li Jianshe stared at Liu Ziqiang: "Oh, you came here on a tractor, you..."

Li Jianshe said half-heartedly, let it go. After all, it was his fault last time, so he could endure the calm for a while, and take a step back to open up the world. If he wants to say a few words, just let him say a few words.

Li Jianshe was prepared to be scolded by Liu Ziqiang, but he didn't expect it. Liu Ziqiang smiled and said: "Don't mention it yet, I know now that this iron lump is pretty good. Look.

Look, this thing hits the field quickly and well, pulls many things with force, and presses the straw so softly."

Li Jianshe was a little confused by Liu Ziqiang. What did this man mean? The thirty-sixth stratagem was probably the best one.

Li Jianshe didn't answer, he chuckled: "Captain Liu, you go ahead and do your work. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, he ran away in a flash.

Captain Liu quickly smiled and stretched out his hand to pull: "Oh, why are you so anxious? This team is still long, why are you running?"

When Li Jianshe ran away, Captain Liu's eyes sank, his face drooped, and he muttered: "Look if you dare to grab something from me next time, leave this oil-drinking guy to me, and you can have it yourself."

Irrigation equipment."

Liu Chen burst out laughing. Captain Liu was feeling uncomfortable and wanted to vent.

Now there is no need to queue up to hand over the public rations to Liutangzhuang. Zhang Xiaodong has made arrangements anyway, so just hand them over directly.

Someone in the court was easy to do, and Liutangzhuang soon handed over the public rations.

After handing over the public food and coming out, Captain Liu saw Li Jianshe again, and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Oh, it seems that you have to pack your bed and stay here for the night today. Oh, it's hard work for you."

Li Jianshe smiled slightly and said nothing.

I don’t know how many times I have cursed my mother. I don’t know how this stupid Liu Ziqiang can make love so quickly. He is obviously at the back in the queue, so why does he rush to the front to make love?

But he only dares to be angry but dare not speak out. If he offends any quality inspector, he is still a little scared. After all, the current quality inspectors have the "power of life and death". If not, they may say that the food is substandard.

, it is quite troublesome to pull them all back.

"It's better for us. The accountant's future uncle is at the grain station. This speed is good."

Youdi lowered her head and remained silent, but there was a little blush and shyness on her face.

We have paid all the public grain, and we have money to purchase grain collectively. The total cost is more than a thousand yuan, and each family's share is only a few yuan.

Liu Chen muttered: "This is too little."

Isn't that right? I have been busy for several months, carrying water and pulling weeds. I have been tired for so long, but it is still in vain.

Everyone went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought the things they wanted to buy. The woman bought some needlework and other things, and the man drank some liquor and so on. They all got in the car and went home.

"After shopping, let's go home and share the food."

When they heard that Captain Liu was going home to share the food, everyone smiled happily. They had been working hard for so long and were just waiting for this little food.

Liu Chen didn't care, he didn't need to be too active anyway, his father and fourth sister had to worry about the food at home.

Bumping and swaying, everyone arrived home soon.

Liu Chen drove the tractor to the warehouse, then went home and lay on the bed. His butt still hurt, so he should take good care of his butt first.

At this time, I saw Youdi and Huzi returning with food on their backs.

Liu Chen took a look and saw that it wasn't much, weighing more than a hundred kilograms. Liu Chen didn't care anyway, as his family wouldn't go hungry even if there were many.

Youdi put down the grain, sat down next to Liu Chen, and sighed: "Brother, look, it's just this little grain."

"It's okay, sister, don't worry, I'm here, I won't let you go hungry."

Youdi said with a drooped face again: "Our family is doing well. The main reason is that there are many families in our village. There are many children in the family, and there is not much food to share. This year's work has been in vain. Maybe it will be turned upside down."

What Youdi said is absolutely correct. Liu Chen didn't know that some families have five, six, or seven or eight children, and their hair should be turning gray. The work points for a year's work are worthless, and the food distribution is small. It's hard to tell them later.

I still have to pay for rations.

Liu Chen thought to himself, this is not going to work. He can't sit still and wait for death. He can't watch the villagers starve, so he has to take action.

Captain Liu also summoned the village cadres for a meeting, and Liu Chen shamelessly followed Liu Jiefang.

Captain Liu talked about the problem of this year's harvest. Although it was a little better than last year, the public grain was also more than last year. It was still difficult for everyone to have enough food and clothing. He expressed the idea of ​​letting everyone borrow their own land, and other leaders also agreed.

Anyway, if you have your own land, you can grow some cabbages and radishes. These things can withstand the winter, and you can eat as much as you want to keep your stomach full, so you won't starve to death.

Anyway, there are still mountains, riverbanks, and wastelands in Liutangzhuang. As long as everyone reclaims them and grows some things, we can take care of them.

Everyone makes their own choice. Once you have made your choice, just tell the team and assign it to you.

The meeting lasted for more than an hour, and Liu Chen didn't speak. He just listened. Finally, Captain Liu said, "Do you have anything else to add?"

At this time, Liu Chen raised his hand. Captain Liu looked at Liu Chen and said, "What do you want to say?"

Liu Chen told everyone that the rice in the rice fields has been harvested now, and there are still a lot of soft-shelled turtles, eels, loaches and so on. He is ready to harvest them. He doesn’t want the small ones, and he doesn’t want the dead ones. The loach costs 1.5 cents per pound, and the rice eel costs 2 cents.

One pound, soft-shelled turtle costs 2.5 cents per pound.

After listening to Liu Chen's words, everyone stared at Liu Chen. What did this kid say? Isn't this kid's buttocks broken and his brain broken?

Harvest loaches, eels, and soft-shell turtles. In the countryside, no one wants to eat these unless they have no choice. They smell fishy and don't have much meat. It takes a lot of firewood to make them.

"Baby, what are you talking about? Can you finish eating that stuff if you charge so much?"

Liu Jiefang was also confused. Although Liu Chen collected some when he was fine, it was not much. There was nothing wrong with eating it for himself and giving it to the second uncle in the city. But if the whole team went to the fields to catch it, let alone

It's possible to weigh several hundred kilograms or several thousand kilograms.

Nowadays, no pesticides are used in paddy fields, there is no pollution, and there are not many people eating them. There are only so many things in the fields. If we can collect them, we can recover them.

Captain Liu also tried to persuade him that it didn't matter if he grabbed a few, but if the whole team had to accept them, wouldn't he be taking too many risks?

Also, isn’t this just speculation? Is it feasible?

Everyone was talking about it.

At this time, Liu Chen still insisted on collecting it himself, saying that everyone could rest assured that as long as he caught it, he would give everyone money.

Liu Chen told everyone that the policies are much better now and the enforcement is not so strict. He has already contacted the aquatic products supply and marketing cooperative in the city and is waiting for the rice to be harvested and let the members catch it. It will be easy for him to harvest.

"Okay, anyway, it's a sword to extend your head, and it's a sword to shrink your head. Liu Chen can stop it if he wants." Captain Liu took a long drag on his cigarette.

Anyway, policies are dead and people are alive. You can't just watch your fellow villagers starve to death.

Captain Liu thought for a while and said: "Then it's still the same. We accept it in the name of the team. This way, even if something goes wrong and we are stopped, Liu Chen won't be in any danger."

Liu Chen said again that the purchasing station in the city was going to collect some vegetables. Now everyone had their own land, and he wanted to lead everyone to grow vegetables.

You can figure out the seeds and technology yourself. When the time comes, Captain Liu will inform you and see how many people are willing to follow his planting. Then you can sell it to the purchasing station in the name of the production team.

Liu Chen told everyone that if all this acre of land were planted with vegetables, hundreds of kilograms of grain might be exchanged for it, and everyone's food ration problem would also be solved.

Captain Liu took another puff of cigarette, blew out the smoke ring, paused for a while, raised his head and asked Liu Chen: "Is this really possible as you said?"

"Oh, Captain Liu, just keep your heart in your stomach. I can guarantee that as long as you grow it, you won't have to worry about selling it. I'll take care of it."

Captain Liu was thinking more than just this. After all, we still don’t know what the policy is now, so it’s still a bit risky, isn’t it?

"Oh, now the six provinces have appeared, what are you afraid of?"

Liu Chen thought to himself, maybe Xiaogang Village has begun to secretly implement large-scale contract work.

After Liu Chen said this, Captain Liu nodded heavily and said firmly: "Okay, just do as Ah Chen said."

After all, in the eyes of the captain, it is the last word that everyone has enough to eat.
Chapter completed!
