Chapter 260 Our family is getting better and better, all thanks to Darong!
Zhou Rong and his friends bought everything they liked at the market. Both adults and children were very satisfied and returned to Zhoujiawan happily.
After lunch, Zhou Rong went to find Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Chuanjing.
The three of them were at Zhou Chuanyi's house, drinking tea and chatting.
Zhou Rong asked Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Chuanjing what they thought about the "Leap Forward".
Zhou Chuanyi said: "Last month, the township convened a meeting of village heads to launch a great 'leap forward' in agricultural and sideline products, requiring us to significantly increase production.
Our Zhoujiawan is a demonstration base, and everyone has high hopes for us. You said that Uncle Yu wants us to set a good example and increase the output several times.
The area of forest we have developed is not enough, so some time ago we organized fellow villagers to reclaim a barren mountain. We plan to cut down several nearby forests after the New Year and plant fruit trees on them.
We had previously applied to the government for 5000 fruit trees of different varieties, but they didn't approve that many seedlings, so they only gave us to of each type of fruit tree. The rest were all seeds, so we had to grow the seedlings ourselves.
Teacher Zhang is cultivating them one by one, and some of them have already grown seedlings. Once we have sorted out the forest, they will be ready for transplanting.”
Now it is planted all over the mountains and fields, but when the whole nation is making steel, if someone takes it too seriously, it will most likely become just firewood in the stove.
But the thing hasn't happened yet, and revealing too much will easily arouse suspicion.
Zhou Rong thought for a moment and said, "As you know, in order to complete the First Five-Year Plan, many new factories have been built in the city. I have heard from the grapevine that some factories are currently short of fuel and are planning to go to the countryside to collect various trees to burn.
It seems that each village is assigned a task, and each village must hand over a certain number of trees, etc. I don’t know whether it is true or not.
If we cut down all the trees now, we will have nothing to hand in when we need to complete the mission in the future. If some malicious person wants to cut down our fruit trees in the name of completing the organization's mission, we will have no way to express our suffering.
For things like this, it is better to believe it than not to believe it. We have to be on guard!
I have taken a look and found that the mountain land currently developed in the village is enough for us to use. If we take good care of the existing mountain area and ensure the output, we will also get praise from above.
If you really want to complete the task, then go cut down the forest. This way you can complete the task and tidy up the forest. It won’t be too late to transplant the fruit trees later.”
Zhou Chuanyi pondered for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense. Every family in our village has received money. There is no village nearby that is not envious and jealous. If they attack us under the banner of organizational policies, even Uncle Chuanyu may not be able to stop them.
Just like you said, if we cultivate the existing land carefully, we can still complete the task and set a good example! "
Zhou Chuanjing: "After the New Year, we asked Chuanyu to help get more herbs that Teacher Zhang needs, so that we can prepare more pesticides. As long as there is no major natural disaster, it should not be difficult to complete the task."
Zhou Rong: "I believe Uncle Chuanyi and Uncle Chuanjing will definitely lead us Zhoujiawan to a new level!
We will continue to communicate more frequently and exchange new ideas at any time as before to make Zhoujiawan better and better! ”
Zhou Chuanyi: “No problem!”
At present, everyone's understanding of "leap forward" is rather superficial, and they think that all they need to do is to do their job well and increase production.
Therefore, all units are working hard, not wanting to lag behind others, carrying out production activities in a solid manner, increasing output, and completing production plans and work tasks every month.
Everything changed until the "exaggeration style" became popular in the second half of the year.
Zhou Rong decided to wait for the right time and return to Zhoujiawan to try to change some historical processes...
Zhou Rong chatted with Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Chuanjing about the demonstration base for a while before going home.
When she got home, Zhou's mother was worrying about a dozen chickens.
Zhou Rong asked: "We went to the street today and bought two chickens to stew for the New Year's Eve dinner. Where did the rest of the chicken come from?"
Mother Zhou sighed, and said happily yet sadly, "Your eldest aunt and second aunt each gave me one, and the rest were given by fellow villagers.
In addition to these chickens, the eggs, tofu cubes, tofu balls, and meat balls piled in the main room were also donated by everyone.
Some said they wanted to thank you for helping their men get the opportunity to move to the city, so that their families would not have to worry about food and drink; others said they wanted to thank you for organizing the demonstration base, which allowed them to get money and solve many major problems in their families. "
Zhou Rong smiled and said, "The villagers are so enthusiastic. If we had known this, we wouldn't have gone out to buy New Year's goods."
Zhou's mother: "Who said it wasn't?!"
While helping to sort out the gifts sent by everyone in the main hall, Chen Moli said with a smile: "The folks in Zhoujiawan are the kindest and most enthusiastic people I have ever met!"
Xie Cuilian muttered, "It wasn't like this before. If I hadn't helped them make money, who knows what they would have been saying behind their backs!"
Zhou Rong was planning to discuss with his mother about killing a few chickens for eating during the New Year, and taking the rest to Jiangcheng on the third day of the New Year.
Grandma Zou came over with a cane and a small basket.
"Darong, I saved some chicken and duck eggs and will give them to you to nourish your body."
Zhou Rong supported Grandma Zou and said with a smile, "Grandma, there is no shortage of food at home. You can keep these for yourself."
Grandma Zou pretended to be angry and said, "Do you think the things I gave you are not good enough?"
Zhou Rong: "How could that be! These chicken and duck eggs are big, and you have carefully selected them. I am so happy that you care about me, how could I dislike them?"
Grandma Zou: "If you don't mind, take it! There's not much good stuff in my great-grandmother's house, but these chicken and duck eggs are the only things I can give away. It's a token of my appreciation."
Grandma, thank you for getting those job openings for the village and taking the lead in setting up that demonstration base. Otherwise, I would have been lying in my ancestral grave by now!"
Zhou's mother asked, "Grandma Zou, where did you get this from?"
Grandma Zou: “Well, you know the situation of my family. The old man got sick and spent all the family savings, but the disease was not cured and he passed away early.
There are many people in our family and the harvest from the fields is not that good, so we have always lived a tight life. My eldest grandson, who is in his early 20s, still cannot get married because our family has no money.
Last year, Darong and your family's Chuanmin brought back some job recruitment quotas, and my eldest grandson was lucky enough to win one. He has saved several hundred yuan in the more than one year since he came to the city!
I got sick in June. If he hadn't sent money home, how could I have had the money to go to the clinic? I would have gone down to accompany the old man a long time ago!
Our base had a good harvest this year. My family has a lot of labor and we got a lot of money. In the past, we didn’t dare to split up because we had no money. We lived together, but we had a lot of difficulties and always quarreled over trivial matters.
Now that our family is wealthy, I divided the property among everyone last month. My eldest grandson has also found a wife and they will be getting married on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
Our family is getting better and better, all thanks to Darong!
I used to hold on to some old ideas and said some bad things about Darong. I want to apologize to Darong here. If you want to scold me, I will never talk back. "
Zhou Rong asked playfully, "Did Grandma say anything bad about me? Why don't I have any impression of that?"
"No! She remembered it wrongly!" Mother Zhou said, and then she moved closer to Grandma Zou and whispered, "I never told Darong about what happened before, so please don't mention it again, otherwise she will be unhappy."
Grandma Zou nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I won't say anything more, I'll go back now!"
Watching Grandma Zou leave, Zhou Rong shook his head and laughed. The folks in Zhoujiawan are becoming more and more lovely...
