Chapter 287 Hearts are alive
The rainy season has finally arrived.
Hongshi Village is a dry and hot valley area, but it does not mean that it does not rain here. Every year, ten to fifteen days from mid to late March, and the next half month starting in early September, there will be some rain.
The rain keeps going, the water is floating in the village, and the mountains in the distance are shrouded in gray clouds. They can't be seen anymore, and they will have to wait for at least one month to show their glory.
The wheat in the field was harvested, but no one came after the winter vacation. The migrant workers left clean after the New Year, and the children were all going to school.
When the rain passes, you can plant rice.
Now, water has been stored in the fields early, and long-lost frogs have sounded one after another. Rice seedlings are also grown in plastic sheds, half a centimeter long. You can plant rice seedlings just by waiting for the rainy season to pass.
This was a rare slack time. Gong Zhu also went home. The convenience store opened the door as usual, and immediately filled with tea guests.
Everyone is discussing the upcoming spring plowing.
"I'm blushing. Other poor households are all elderly, weak, sick and disabled. Your family is now well. I have raised three cows in one go, so I don't have to worry about this spring plow. I said, lend your cows to me." A villager told Gong Xiao, who had just entered the house.
"Yes, lend me some money, too." Another villager agreed.
There is another important process before planting rice seedlings, which is to plow the paddy fields.
There is a shortage of labor force in rural areas now, and although Hongshi Village is not short of manpower, the younger generation is not interested in farming, and the most troublesome thing is that there are no big animals.
In previous years, when plowing the land, two people worked together, one person pulling the plowshare in front and the other person pushing the back. After a day, they only plowed one or two acres, which made people tired enough.
Unlike before, I used to pull the plow directly with a buffalo, which was fast and deep.
When the red face heard the words of the two villagers, he didn't answer. He just snorted, stretched out his feet and scraped it on the steps of Zhuhua's convenience store, scraping off a layer of thick yellow mud.
Zhuhua shouted: "Xiaoxiao, don't scrape it. Everyone is scraping mud here, can you still leave? I really fell down, I can't afford to pay for the medicine. Do you want to buy salt? I'll find two bags for you now."
Gong Xiaoxiao nodded. The three cows he raised were just when he was slapping, that is, they were growing and needed to feed the ground salt from time to time.
These three cows express his yearning for a better life in the future. They can sell for 30,000 to 40,000 yuan during the Chinese New Year, which is equivalent to working outside. In addition to the dividends from Chen Xin, it makes you feel good to think about this day.
The two villagers who borrowed the cattle just now saw that he didn't say anything, and were not very happy: "What's wrong, don't be so stingy! At worst, I'll put some grass on your cattle and feed it two kilograms of rice."
Cows do not grow meat and strength by eating grass. When they have to work hard or cows grow up, or when they are sick, they have to feed them.
This kind of big beast is also resistant to creation, and it is lazy and lying in the cow pen in front of you. If you pour a bucket of porridge, you will be full of vitality in a short time.
Besides, there is no forage in the village now.
After harvesting the wheat, Song Qingyun and Xia Yutian, the first secretary of Xinlian Village, cooperated to contact a charcoal factory. In just a few days, they pulled all the rapeseed stalks and wheat stalks in the two villages.
As for the shipping fee, the villagers don’t have to worry about it. It was applied by the two secretaries and towns and streets. Of course, this is limited to this year, and the villagers have to pay for it themselves next year.
Originally, the red face wanted to leave the straw to feed the cow, but found that the cow didn't touch the thing at all, so he had to ask someone to take it away together.
Although cows eat herbivores and straw, they are very picky. Their favorite is corn stalks, followed by corn grass. The wheat stalks are probably because they are too hard, so the cows prick their mouths after eating them?
The red face suddenly sneered: "How much is two pounds of rice worth? My beef was just when I was slapping the rack. I was used by you all day long. I was afraid that more than two pounds of meat would be lost. How much does beef cost per pound?"
This was already rude. The two villagers were unhappy and shouted: "Red face, what do you mean? For money, you don't even talk about favors. Are we still your uncle? It's better not to encounter anything in your family in the future, and don't ask us for help then."
Gong Xiaoxiao was annoyed; "I will not ask for anything, even if I ask for it, I will not ask for it."
"Okay, that's what you said, don't forget."
Seeing that the three of them were about to have a conflict, Gong Zhu stuffed a cup of brewed tea into her hands: "Xiaoxiao, drink your tea and sit down for a while. By the way, aren't you poor households working in Du Limei's place? Why didn't you go today?"
Setting up the gantry formation means rushing to the shell, which means chatting.
Gong Xiaoxiao took the teacup, took a sip, then did it, and said, "My family still has three cows. I can't be busy cutting cow grass every day, so how can I have that skill?"
Gong Zhu: "Niucao, you can ask your father to help cut it. Boss Du's place costs 200 yuan a day, won't he make money?"
It would be fine if she didn't say it, but as soon as she said it, her face turned depressed: "My father is getting older and tired. Besides, I'm not healthy and can't do heavy work, so Boss Du doesn't want me."
The White Horse Project has finally been implemented, and the infrastructure construction is under the responsibility of Du Limei.
Boss Du has more than a dozen business licenses on hand, and there is no problem with his qualifications. So his company has started to level the land during this rainy season, erect cement columns, pull iron wire, drive piles, and build plastic greenhouses...
Lao Du believed that "everything is done, and if it is not done, it will be abandoned." As early as the New Year, he contacted a prefabricated site to prefabricated cement columns, and all building materials have been booked.
Now you just need to pull the materials back to the village and start drying.
When the foundation is set up, install high-tech equipment such as lighting and probes.
Only when everything is done will seedlings grow.
In the past few days, big trucks have come to the village every day. Boss Du sent loading and unloading with the vehicle. The loading and unloading are all poor households under the age of 65, and they are not disabled or sick. Let them earn some living expenses, which is considered as poverty alleviation.
On the ground, all the poor households also set up ridges under Du Limi's command, dig pits and set up cement piles, and pull wires.
It's just now, and it will be more lively when the greenhouses start to be built.
As I was talking, I heard a rumbling motor sound, and a farm truck staggered in the rain, and the carriage was filled with steel.
The car braked at the entrance of the convenience store.
Two poor households sat in the cab, one of them poked his head out and shouted at the convenience store: "Bamboo, throw two packs of cigarettes over."
The bamboo flower whispered and asked, "Is it still "The World Show"?"
The man looked unhappy: "If you don't want to buy "Daitianqi" and change to Huanghelou, you can buy the 251 pack."
Tianxiaxiu is a kind of cigarette, five yuan per pack, it is cheap and inferior, very spicy and popular, and it is usually smoked by people with poor economic conditions.
The more I felt that my life was not so happy, so I became angry, so I was called "Daily Gone."
"Oh, it's so expensive to smoke, but it's just a life?"
The man snorted: "I'm now 200 yuan a day, and I'll be a professional grape grower in the future. Secretary Song said that I'll make up for my annual income of 30,000 yuan next year, which is not enough for him to make up for it. My good days are coming, so what's wrong with smoking a better one, so what's wrong?"
The truck left arrogantly.
The teahouse suddenly became quiet.
The annual income of growing grapes is 30,000, which is quite amazing.
When talking about the White Horse Project last year, the villagers first had no intuitive feelings. In fact, they also felt that this matter was not so reliable, and they were a little suspicious in their hearts.
The project has been launched now, and Song Qingyun has been stationed in the village for more than half a year. He has done several major events for the village and has gained everyone's trust.
Since he said that each household's annual income can reach 30,000 yuan when he opened the village in the internship base, that's absolutely right.
City W is a county-level city. Although it ranks among the top three local-level cities in the economy and has many factories in the city, the wages of ordinary people are actually not high. After all, it is a fifth-tier city!
The villagers of Hongshi Village work in the city, and some people have high incomes. For example, the construction site where Liu Yonghua got into trouble last year had no problem with his monthly income of over 10,000 yuan, but it was extremely labor-intensive and not everyone could do it. As for Guan Li, she said she was cleaning people, but this job was not as simple as she did. First of all, you can do it and wipe the glass spotlessly like her. This is technical.
Generally, workers who enter the factory will have a monthly salary of more than 1,000 without overtime work, and overtime work will be just over 3,000.
Song Qingyun is such a capable person, and he is a state cadre. He is only a little over 3,000 and calls him poor when he sees people.
An annual income of 30,000 yuan is enough to give people a good life, and it is even more comfortable to live in remote mountainous areas like Hongshi Village.
Suddenly, someone sighed: "Why am I not a poor household?"
"Yes, this is a beautiful thing for the country to send fruit seedlings for free and build greenhouses for free."
"Even if the country does not help build greenhouses and does not give seedlings, it will be cost-effective for us to plant ourselves."
"Do you have the capital?" one person asked.
The person who spoke just now: "I don't know how much money I have to invest, I'm afraid I can't get it out. However, if it's really reliable, I can still get it out if I borrow it or get it together."
"Nonsense, how can Secretary Song be unreliable?"
"That's it, that's it...but will Secretary Song promise us to go to the line?"
"Why don't you agree? Isn't this a good thing?"
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say."
Another villager scolded Gong Xiaoxiao: "You're so fucked, you're red-faced, Chenxin chicken farm, you'll pay 50,000 or 60,000 yuan a year, three cows have more than 40,000 yuan a year, and now there are 30,000 yuan grapes, and you'll have 150,000 yuan a year, and you're a landlord capitalist. If I were you, I don't know how many girls I'm afraid of."
He was stunned for a moment and murmured: "I earn 150,000 yuan a year, it's impossible. How could it be so much? How could it be so much..."
Since he returned home from illness, he had a meal with his father for not having the last meal, and often he could not get ten yuan in his bag. Unexpectedly, he suddenly squeezed into the ranks of 100,000 yuan a year.
It is said that 600 million people in the country now have a monthly income of less than 1,000, and their monthly income is 12,000, which has completely defeated 80% of the people.
He looked at his rough hands, looked at the yellow mud on his feet, and looked at the tattered clothes full of mud-thoughts, and suddenly felt a little lost: Am I a rich man, is there a rich man like me?
In just over half a year, the red face turned from a poor household who fainted from money to a rich man who had no money to take medicine. This change was shocking, and he also felt that getting rid of poverty and getting rich was not a difficult task.
For a moment, the teahouse became quiet and everyone was thinking.
