Chapter 31 Where to Go

The farmland measurement activity in Shuangshui Village has begun vigorously. Shuangshui Village has only known how to farm and harvest grain, and there is no accurate number at all. Especially after the construction of the Cryinger River Dam, the newly leveled land has not been accurately measured, just a rough number. If you don’t calculate the financial situation, you don’t know that all the farmland and private land in Shuangshui Village now have more than 1,000 acres of land. If you divide it according to the head, each person can be divided into about four acres.

After everyone knew this number, people's hearts were fluctuating for a while. Some thought about farming themselves. The food they had made was enough for the whole family to eat and drink. Some people were worried that if they were farming themselves, would they be able to grow this land in the future? Especially for lazy people like Sun Yuting who don't like labor, it is so rare to farm by themselves.

Zhao Shucheng convened all the villagers in Shuangshui Village to hold a meeting, talked about the production responsibility system, and talked about the brigade and his own ideas. In principle, Shuangshui Village continues to maintain the collective production model, but if someone wants to contract the farming themselves, they will not refuse.

The village adjusted the layout of private land and arable land, and the contracted land was directly concentrated to facilitate farmers to cultivate themselves. However, the flat arable land in this village is still a collective farming model. In addition, if you farm collectively, you will pay wages and grain according to the method that Zhao Shucheng envisions.

The village also provides compensation for farmers who were assigned to the original arable land in the corners. In principle, each household is given 100 kilograms of grain every year as compensation for the irrigated land that is not distributed to them.

Soon everything was determined, and most people chose to believe in Zhao Shucheng and chose to produce collectively. There were only a few families who wanted to farm themselves and harvest their own food.

In just a few days, the arable land in Shuangshui Village was divided into pieces, and there was no change in the people participating in the agricultural cooperative. Those who contracted the land themselves also allocated land, livestock and agricultural tools.

Most of the families in Shuangshui Village who took the initiative to ask for the household contract responsibility system were from the first team, while the second team was still in control, because they were all middle peasants and above, so they were not easily dealt with by then, so they naturally did not dare to take risks.

Everyone is watching the households who have contracted production to households. If their harvest is good next year, maybe they will also ask for contracted production to households next year, but if it is not as good as the collective production in the village, then it is also good to continue to maintain this situation.

The division of Shuangshui Village is not an isolated case, and the production responsibility system of other villages in the Huangyuan area has been laid out. The current production methods can be said to be a combination of various methods. Not to mention the four or five villages in the Dongla River Basin of Shiguijie Commune, Guanzi Village is the production responsibility system implemented. A small number of people in Shuangshui Village are responsible for households and production groups, and Xiashan Village directly has all households. The Shiguijie Brigade in the commune still adheres to the collective production method.

It was time to plow the wheat fields soon. Those who contracted households carried their own production tools and started to get up early and go to the farmland in the morning and late, as if they were going crazy. They not only plowed the wheat fields more than in previous years, but also dug the barren land that had been collectively desolate for many years and scraped the fertile soil into the ground.

The whole wheat field is as soft as a cotton bag, but it is scraped and clean as if it is a dog chewed. This kind of ground is like an embroidery. In order to get more harvests in the coming year, I even applied more fertilizer to the ground.

People who participate in collective farming think that next year, these people will have to feed a lot of more food in their own fields, and even the oil will be emitted by everyone.

But after the agricultural machinery purchased by Shuangshui Village arrived in the village, this envy decreased a lot. In previous years, when farming, except for the collective old ox, most of them worked hard to dig the land. Now they use tractors to cultivate the land. A tractor does more work in a day than those of them, and even get much faster.

Although it cannot be cultivated like those contracted to households, it saves a lot of manpower and material resources, and it can also sow seeds as soon as possible.

Zhao Shucheng did not care about those who contracted the land by himself. Now he was planning his own farm plan. The village now had not much money, so he only bought two tractors. In addition to the workers in the farm, others also had to concentrate on the land to work. However, Zhao Shucheng was preparing to continue buying tractors next year, and even achieved that only a few people cultivated the land, and the others all went to do other labor.

After the wheat is planted, the plow rake will be hung up. When it comes to white dew, the hoe will be left on the shelf.

In the eighth month of the lunar calendar, this is the best time of the year for farmers. They must not be hot or hungry. When they walk into the fields, their hands and feet can still touch the fruits from time to time. The autumn harvest is also beginning, and the date-making festival is coming, harvesting small hemp, picking cowpeas, pumpkins, etc.

After the farming is over, people become free and do whatever they want. Of course, this is true for those who contract to households, but for those in the production team, it is not yet time for Ma Fangnanshan.

Their work has been done in the field, but the collective work has not been done yet. Especially the expansion of chicken farms, pig farms, and the future livestock planting of jujube orchards, it seems that there are endless things to do throughout the year.

Of course, everyone is not unhappy, because as long as they participate in labor and complete it on time, quality and quantity, they can get money every week, which is too important to them.

The contracted households are also envious of this. They can’t help but wonder if it’s wrong to withdraw from collective labor? They also want to participate. It’s good to earn more during the slack season.

But because the farm workers are treated differently from other villagers, they can only be considered odd jobs, and the wages they can get are relatively half.

Not only does anyone think there are fewer people, and some people gossip, but people who work collectively have a sense of superiority. They directly argue back and say that this is their collective business. They are serious workers, and they are different from those people, so there should be such a difference.

Of course, the brigade cadres are no longer the same as before. They can do nothing all day and get the best treatment in the village. Of course, there is no treatment. Agricultural cooperatives and breeding farms will still give them dividends, but after all, they are not here to work, and they can get it without a salary.

Tian Futang had no opinion on this. He was incapable of working in the fields, and he was treated very well as the village party secretary, so he didn't care about the remaining three melons. But for Jin Junshan and Sun Yuting, it was a bit uncomfortable.

These two people do not participate in labor like Tian Futang all year round, and even Sun Yuting's family is a little more serious, because He Fengying is also a person who does not participate in labor. Now he only relies on the grain obtained by the agricultural cooperative's arable land and the dividends of the breeding farm.

Of course, it is not without benefits for Sun Yuting. After his own private land was invested in the agricultural cooperative, he no longer had to work in the fields himself, nor did he have to worry that no one would help harvest the crops in the fields.

Jin Junshan was worried about his son. Since he moved to Shijujie Commune in elementary school, he had to work with the brigade at home. Even if there were private teachers who were transferred to public teachers, he still needed to teach in other schools for a period of time before he could get into the exam, and Jin Cheng had no other schools to go to.

Jin Junwu also knew about Jin Cheng's affairs and was a little worried. After all, this was his family. He had thought of asking Jin Cheng to go to a chicken farm or a pig farm to serve as an accountant, but he thought about the things that Jin Junshan did to Zhao Shucheng a few years ago, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Zhao Shucheng saw that Kim Junwu looked at him but stopped and asked, "Uncle Junwu, what do you mean by saying anything?"

Kim Junwu gritted his teeth and said, "It's the matter between Jin Sung and your younger brother Shaoping. They have not had any formal arrangements since they moved out of elementary school. What do you think?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I thought it was a big deal, and I thought you were thinking of going out to contract the household by yourself. It turned out that this is the case. My younger brother Shaoping was arrogant and looked down on a farmer. I let him go. Anyway, the family doesn't lack his stutter. As for Jin Cheng..."

Zhao Shucheng also pondered for a moment. In fact, Zhao Shucheng had a place to make arrangements, but he was afraid that Jin Junshan would think too much, and Jin Cheng would not want to.

"Junwu, I have something to say. Now Jin Cheng has three ways out. One is to work as an accountant in the farm, which is Runsheng's subordinate. Runsheng is the director of the finance department, and he is a clerk. One is responsible for the accountant and the other is responsible for the cashier. In the other, Jin Cheng enters the agricultural production cooperative and the other is an accountant. After all, he will be a worker in the future. The monthly salary, the storage of production materials, etc., must be recorded in detail. The last one is to drive a tractor, and even after our village buys a harvester in the future, he will drive a harvester. This requires a certain amount of knowledge to do. However, Uncle Junshan may think that I am retaliating, so I can't speak for myself."

"Which one do you think is better?"

Junwu didn't know what to ask Jin Cheng to do for a moment, so he wanted to hear Zhao Shucheng's opinion.

"I personally am optimistic about the driver positions of the agricultural cooperative. Although we only have two tractors now, there will definitely be more in the future. Even the harvester is not the first one in the future. We even have to form a harvester fleet. After harvesting our own grain in our village, we can go to the surrounding villages to make money. This requires a team leader, which is commonly known as the manager position."

After hearing this, Kim Junwu thought this was not bad. Moreover, if Kim Sung went now, he would be the master of those people in the future and would definitely become a manager position, but all this depends on what Kim Junsan and Kim Sung thought.

After Jin Junshan knew about the job given by Zhao Shucheng, he began to hesitate. He thought it was a good choice to be an accountant. Although he still had to work in the fields, it was a little easier than other jobs.
