Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 268

September in golden autumn is one of the busiest seasons in the countryside.Especially in this era, the "double robbing" of rushing to plant and harvest is the top priority of every member of the year.

But today's Hantun is different from previous years. The land is contracted to the members. Everyone started to do their own things in the first year.

The people in the team have been extremely busy these days. Although the people in Hantun don't expect to rely on farming to solve their food and clothing, no one will think that there is too much money.

Carloads of corn cobs and sorghum were harvested in the fields, packed into sacks, and transported to the homes of the commune members, which kept the animals in the team busy.

In the first year of the joint production contract, Hantun's harvest was nearly [-]% higher than before. This is the result of comparing the harvest of all the members' homes with the harvest of last year after the old team leader and the accountant uncle gathered together.

"This policy is good!" The old captain exclaimed.

"It's good, it's a pity that it's a bit late." The accountant said.

The old captain understood what he meant. Nowadays, the family in Hantun still relies on farming for a living, and the annual dividends from the chicken farm are enough to feed the members of the commune.

What's more, now that there is a pig farm, although the benefits have not yet been seen, it will definitely not be bad.

"It's better than better!"

While other people's homes collect grain, He Ping's family mows the grass. The alfalfa that was planted experimentally at the beginning of the year is just ready to be harvested.This year, there are only a few alfalfa growers in Hantun, and they all harvested and sold directly to chicken farms. After drying, they can become one of the raw materials for feed.Chickens can't eat grass, they must be dried.

Xu Laocai counted the alfalfa cart by cart, thinking about the income from growing alfalfa and corn.

"Okay, old uncle Cai. Don't forget about it. After you have a son-in-law like Zhaojun, what do you have to worry about? Don't waste that energy." With a posture, he persuaded.

"I'll just...see...see how much the difference between the two can be."

"Mr. Zhao has done the calculations for us. The income from growing alfalfa is basically the same as growing corn. But our effort is different, and we can harvest several crops next year, unlike them who have to replant."

He Ping's idea of ​​growing alfalfa was just a temporary idea. Now it seems that the income is not bad. The main reason is that it consumes much less energy than growing corn. It is especially suitable for Hantun people who put most of their energy on chicken farms and pig farms.

And alfalfa is a crop that can be harvested for many years, which is too advantageous.

In the past two days, some people in the team began to inquire about planting alfalfa with He Ping, but He Ping didn't dare to ask about it again, otherwise the old captain would have to find himself desperately.

At this time, we still have to pay the public rations. If I really encourage everyone in the team to plant alfalfa, who else still has food to pay the public rations?
You say buy?
In the words of the old captain, if you still buy food if you have land, it will be thunderous!
He Ping doesn't know if Lei Hong is not bombing, anyway, the old captain's pipe pot must be bombed.

In addition to the busy people in the team, the people in the commune and the county government|government are not idle these days.Ping County is a pilot county for household joint production contracting. At the beginning of the year, the policy was implemented very smoothly. Now we will see the results of this wave of autumn harvest.

For this reason, people from the commune have to go to the brigade below every now and then to learn about the situation, and those who have recently caught up with the autumn harvest are even more frequent.

He Ping was watching the alfalfa loading the truck, when a group of people from over there entered the village.

He saw an acquaintance in the crowd at a glance, his future father-in-law.

Mao Xueshan didn't avoid suspicion when he saw him. Everyone present knew his relationship with He Ping, "He Ping, how is the harvest this year?"

He Ping smiled and said, "Uncle, why are you here? It's very good. My family grows alfalfa this year, so there is no comparison. The harvest of other families in the team is nearly [-]% higher than in previous years."

After hearing this, Mao Xueshan nodded with satisfaction, "Isn't this the autumn harvest? At the beginning of the year, I was responsible for the implementation of our Hongqi Commune's policies. Now I come back to see how the results are. It seems that our policy promotion is still very successful."

The people around him also echoed, "The above-mentioned policies are formulated well, and it is inseparable from the implementation of the county party committee and the county government!"

Before He Ping told Mao Xueshan about growing alfalfa in his family, Mao Xueshan asked, "What is the benefit of the alfalfa grown in your family?"

He Ping replied truthfully: "After the alfalfa is harvested, the chicken farm directly harvests it. This time, the income is similar to that of growing corn. But alfalfa is a perennial herb, which means that I can harvest it again next year without having to plant it again. , and consume much less energy than growing corn, so overall, planting alfalfa is better than planting corn.”

"Hmm~" Mao Xueshan nodded slightly and did not speak. He is a member of the official family, so naturally he would not express his opinion on the planting of a certain crop in public, but he also recognized the feasibility of alfalfa planting in his heart.

Seeing the reaction of the future father-in-law, He Ping knew that he knew it well, so he didn't say any more.

Mao Xueshan continued to walk forward, followed by a group of people behind him.Now that they met, He Ping couldn't ignore it, so he could only follow along.

The old captain fell behind the team and warned: "Don't poke me, kid, you know?"

He Ping said impatiently: "I know, I know, how many times have I told them about it, and I didn't get them to plant it. They want to plant it themselves, so they rushed to ask me what I can do?"

The old captain waved the pipe pot, and He Ping jumped two meters away.

Mao Xueshan and his party wandered around the fields for more than an hour, and after seeing almost everything, he proposed to go to the chicken farm to have a look.

"I've heard how many times you have told about your brigade's chicken farm. I haven't seen it once. I just came here today to take a look."

He Ping led Mao Xueshan and the others to the chicken farm.

In fact, they have seen chicken farms from a long distance. Nowadays, no matter the area or scale of chicken farms, this huge monster can be seen in Dingtun, not to mention Hantun, which is several miles away.

After entering the compound of the chicken farm, He Ping consciously acted as an explainer, introducing the situation of the chicken farm to Mao Xueshan and the others.

"Our chicken farm has been in operation for more than two years since 79. Now we have more than 15 laying hens in stock. The breeds are mainly local laying hens and Lime white laying hens. The current monthly egg production is 18 The market covers Yingcheng, Fengcheng, and Jinzhou. If there is no accident, the stock of our chicken farm will reach full capacity by the middle of next year, which is 50. By the end of next year, chicken raising The monthly egg production of the farm will reach 130 to 140 million catties, which is enough to supply the egg consumption of one-third of the population of Liao Province."

The people present today are divided into three categories, one is the staff of the county government|government brought by Mao Xueshan, the other is the staff of the commune, and there are people in the team, such as the old captain.

Hearing He Ping's introduction, the staff of the county and the commune showed surprise.
