Qiaolian went back to work in March and began spring ploughing in mid-to-late April.

In the past two years, the harvest in Daying Township has been good, the people have benefited, and the enthusiasm for spring plowing is very high.

Spring planting and autumn harvest are the two busiest seasons of the year, and all the workshops in the township have stopped working to grab the spring.

The cooperatives are reasonably arranged, the production teams actively cooperate, and the people are also enthusiastic, and the spring plowing task of this year was quickly completed.

As soon as the spring ploughing ended, the railway construction team came to the Xianren Bridge.

The Hunbai Railway began to be planned last year, and the Xianren Bridge side will not only build a railway, but also build a station.

So last year, a lot of houses were built on this side of Xianren Bridge for workers and their families to live in.

At the beginning of spring this year, the railway workers and their families transferred from other places settled in Xianrenqiao and began railway construction.

The construction of the Xianrenqiao Railway has brought a lot of people from other places and made this small village more lively than before.

Qiaolian did not forget to tell the children that they must be careful when they go out, do not go with people they don't know, and beware of being abducted.

Although it is very rare to abduct children in these days, you have to pay attention, who knows if there are any people with bad intentions?

The arrival of railway workers and their families also boosted the local economy, and the railway canteens could supply rice and meat, but vegetables had to be purchased from the people.

At the same time, firewood is needed for cooking in the canteen, and most of it is purchased directly from local people.

Of course, there are some transactions that are openly prohibited, but in fact, the big guys know that as long as it is beneficial to both parties, no one will expose it.

In April, the county put forward the slogan of "buying and selling on a large scale" and organized the masses to actively sell agricultural, sideline and local products, especially iron and steel and other important industrial raw materials, to the state.

In June, a large-scale steelmaking boom was set off. In September, the county responded to the call of the state and set off an upsurge of running a people's commune.

By 25 September, the county had established seven people's communes, Dongfeng (Fusong Town), Hongqi (Songjiang), Shengli (pumping), Weixing (Wanliang), Donggang, Daying, and Hongguang (Manjiang), as well as the Beigang State-owned Forest Farm, realizing the people's commune.

In the blink of an eye, the autumn harvest is over, and the communes are about to hand over the public grain and purchase quotas.

At this time, the county organized the leaders of the communes to hold a county-wide rural work conference.

"Second girl, what's wrong with you, why am I upset?"

Qiao Lian came home from work, and the old lady saw Qiao Lian's calm face and full of worries, and felt a little strange, so she hurriedly asked.

Qu Weiyang came back early today, was busy in the kitchen, and when he heard the old lady's words, he also came out of the kitchen.

"What? Daughter-in-law, did someone mess with you? ”

Qiao Lian shook her head, "No one messes with me, it's just that I'm not in a good mood."

At today's meeting, Uncle Han and I came back with white flags. ”

"Carrying a white flag? What's that? The old lady didn't understand and wondered.

In the past, when there was a war, the white flag was used for surrender, but now that there is no war, what is the white flag for?

Qiao Lian entered the house, sat on the edge of the kang, and exhaled heavily, "Mother, you don't understand."

I went to a meeting today, and the higher authorities asked the leaders of the communes to report on this year's grain production.

The grain production of our commune was reported to be low, and then we came back with a white flag.

Those who reported high production all went back with red flags.

I don't think Uncle Han is in a good mood, and I persuaded him on the way, but it is probably useless. ”

The old lady didn't understand it even more, "What? Can our commune produce the lowest?

It's impossible, isn't there a bumper harvest of grain in our club this year? What kind of trouble is this?

Didn't other communes just take seeds from our communes last year and this year? Why can their output be higher than ours? ”

The Daying Commune uses high-yield seeds obtained by Qiaolian, and the annual yield is very good, even if the people in the commune go out, people from other places can find out.

So since last fall, other clubs have also tried to find ways to harvest seeds.

Secretary Han followed what he had discussed with Qiaolian before, exchanging eight catties of grain for one catty of seeds, but he evened out some of the seeds.

Some communes planted new varieties in the spring of this year, and the grain output was really good.

However, Daying Township has been in business for several years, and it is very attentive, and this autumn's grain output has reached a new high, and it stands to reason that it should not be lower than that of other places.

"Mother, don't you understand this? Do those people still have the truth in their mouths now? A hundred catties can't wait to blow out a thousand catties.

I guess Uncle Han and they must have reported it lower than our actual output, but those people exaggerated the numbers.

In the end, Daying Township had the lowest yield, so it carried the white flag, right? ”

After all, Qu Weiyang is working outside and is well-informed, and combined with the situation this year, he immediately guessed the reason.

"Yes, Secretary Han and I are worried that if we report according to the actual number, this year's acquisition quota will increase.

All kinds of workshops in our township are now very profitable, and there is not enough food to support them, so we must keep more food.

If this is really reported in real numbers, in case we add more than ten or twenty points to the acquisition quota, then this year's workshop will have to stare dryly. Qiaolian nodded.

"I didn't think about it, other communes are like taking some kind of medicine, one can blow more than the other.

What kind of bud rice yield of 2,000 catties, sorghum yield of 5,000 catties, sweet potato yield of 10,000 catties, I feel too mysterious when I hear it.

But now we eat this set, we who are honest and don't brag are not popular.

After the meeting, we counted the low grain production of our commune, and as a result, we could only come back with a white flag. ”

"Uncle Han is old, and he has been advanced in the past few years, and he has carried the white flag coldly, I think he feels very uncomfortable.

Tomorrow, I have to persuade Uncle Han that it is useless to fight for those names, work in a down-to-earth manner, and let the people be fed and clothed is the most important thing.

As long as the people approve of us, even if the rest are wronged, they can only endure it.

Who made this policy and this ethos now? I don't think this trend will last long, it will slowly go down. ”

Qiao Lian knows this period of history and understands that this kind of atmosphere will not last long.

The most important thing at the moment is not to compete with others for a name, but to forbear.

No matter how much grievances are suffered, we must endure them, and the most important thing is to strive for benefits and benefits for the masses in the society.

It doesn't matter if the red flag or the white flag blows, just wait for this wind to blow.

Qu Weiyang also sighed when he heard this, "Yes, at present, all systems in the country are like this, not only agricultural production.

The supply and marketing system has been like this recently, and I also told the director, let's follow the crowd, don't rise to the top, and don't end up.

The main reason is that the industry is different, and there is a big difference with your agricultural production, but now it is not particularly troublesome. ”

The old lady was beside her, and she was confused as if she understood or not, and finally waved her hand and decided not to ask.

"Yes, these are all national affairs, not for us ordinary people to worry about, let's just follow the policy, and there is no need to say anything else.

What, it's not early, eat, eat. ”
