Xujia Village has no livestock to cultivate the fields, so there is a problem in sowing crops.
Speaking of which, there are the most migrant households here, and there are only a few normal households.
No matter when people are home-loving, the prerequisite is to survive in their hometown.
One reason for choosing to live abroad is that the local area is rich and can change their future prospects, such as those villagers who stayed in Yuzhou Prefecture.
Another possibility is to escape and escape from the original difficulties, which is the Yipole people who have now settled in Xujiacun.
Or there are many brothers in the family and there is no land or house in the place of origin.
This is what the Tian Gui family is like.
There were seven or eight brothers in his hometown, and the couple worked together. When the family was separated, they didn't even have a room. The eldest daughter was almost stolen and sold by other uncles, so he looked for another way out.
There is also Wu Yang, whose parents are in poor health and cannot travel for long periods of time, and there are lunatics like Xia Xiucai.
Nowadays, these people are encountering difficulties in farming, and the important role of Jiang Zhi, the village head, in taking the lead has been demonstrated.
After getting to know each other for a long time, she called several villagers who were flexible and capable to form a mutual aid group.
Naturally, this word cannot be spoken out, only to discuss things.
But in the minds of Tian Gui, Wuyang and others, it was Village Chief Jiang who looked down upon outsiders like himself.
Xu Genyou, Xu Gensheng and others even believed that they should support their aunts to prevent them from being taken over by outsiders.
The so-called mutual aid group naturally means forming a group.
Sitting in his open-air office next to a broken wall under a big tree, Jiang Zhi held his first eight-person group meeting.
At this meeting, Jiang Zhi first announced the personnel arrangements.
The recorder of the meeting was naturally Xia Xiucai.
Except for the right-hand man Er Rui and Xiao Man, who have multiple identities, the others are "agricultural technicians" Xu Genyou and Tian Gui, "gang jing" Xu Gensheng, "propagandaist" Li Laoshi, and "handyman" Wu Yang.
Tian Gui and Xu Genyou decide on farm work in the village. Who will do it first and who will do it last? Prepare in advance, arrange in advance, and plan as a whole so there is no need to waste time.
The two men nodded. They were in their prime. They had been doing farm work for decades, and they already knew what crops they should prepare for each season.
"Gang Jing" Xu Gensheng assisted Tian Gui and the two. If any villager disobeyed the arrangement, he would be responsible for using his rest time to explain clearly. For example, he would find that family at night and ask them why they were disobedient!
There are also people supervising the work, and those who cheat and cheat are kicked out of the mutual aid group. This process is completed by Li Laoshi.
When he heard about his position, Mr. Li smiled from ear to ear beside him: "Village Chief Jiang, I am not a vegetarian with eyes like mine. I must be serious about my work."
Under Jiang Zhi's plan, the land in the village still belongs to each family, but they help each other when working, and the villagers participate voluntarily.
This production model is not new.
During the busy farming season in the village, several families who have good relationships will pair up and help each other with work.
There are also people who exchange jobs with others during normal times, and others return them when the farming season is busy.
Anyway, no matter how you do it, it is also a labor method summed up by human beings in order to survive when they lack productivity.
So when Jiang Zhi brought it up at this time, it was no stranger to Tian Gui and Xu Genyou. They would do it in normal times, but Jiang Zhi brought it up with more people and more rules.
"Arrange the hands of each family to raise seedlings, raise seedlings, and level the fields..." Jiang Zhi listed the things to be done for spring sowing, while Xia Xiucai wrote silently next to him.
"Your hard work will not be in vain. I will give you some subsidies in the future." The cattle must also be fed with grass, and Jiang Zhi will give these people some benefits.
Tian Gui rubbed his hands and smiled naively: "You're welcome, Village Chief Jiang. We are doing it for ourselves too. If someone's harvest is not good, the other neighbors will also have a bad life."
Xu Genyou also said: "Auntie, don't say that. It's a great kindness for you to borrow money to buy grain. In the past... we also went to the grain store to get grain on credit, and we paid it back with interest during the autumn harvest."
He was already a taciturn person, but when he came back from the town, he became even more languid.
Although his younger brother Xu Genbao didn't know that he was going to borrow money, the words the Wang family said and the things he did to him showed his younger brother's status in the Wang family.
He doesn't show any affection as a relative, and he is worse than a son-in-law who comes to visit him.
When the mother-in-law, Ms. Liu, found out, she burst into tears and said she was sorry for her dead husband.
He also said that his son had brought this suffering on himself and that he would never trouble him again!
Next to him, Xu Gensheng began to ask again: "Auntie wants to give us a reward.
How much is the reward? Are ours the same or different?
If they are the same, our work is different. If they are different, can I choose? "
Jiang Zhi already knew this man's character and was not annoyed. He just glanced at him and said, "Xu Gensheng, you are overthinking. It's hard to say whether you can get the reward.
If other people in the village are not willing to work together, our mutual help will be a joke. "
Xu Gensheng slapped the wooden board: "Why don't you want to do such a good thing? You must be mentally ill!"
His words immediately attracted the glares of several people. How could he say this nonsense? He was just pointing at the monk and calling him a bald donkey.
Next to him, Xia Xiucai, who was mentally ill, had already written down these words, and slowly said: "I'm sick... I need to be cured!"
Xu Gensheng was immediately stunned: "Hey, scholar, you don't need to remember this sentence!"
As things were said, that day, people came and went outside the shacks in the village, asking each other.
Every household finds this mutual assistance very interesting.
Xia's mother carried the rice grains that Xia Xiucai had brought back. She felt mixed emotions, but she breathed a sigh of relief: her son had been ill for more than a year, and this was the first time he brought something home since he was ordered to deprive him of grain. .
Moreover, I and my daughter-in-law have never worked in the fields before, and we were worried about how to dig the fields. Now that we have come to help each other, we will be able to live better in the future.
Wu Yang brought the news to his parents, and the family suddenly felt relaxed: "Wu Yang, you have to be more diligent in the future. You will do whatever the village chief says."
The family is happy that there are few laborers, but other families are not satisfied.
When Xu Gensheng returned home, his uncle Xu Changming was waiting in the shack: "Boy Gensheng, what did you say you were doing with a woman and helping each other?"
Xu Gensheng chuckled: "Uncle, I am an official and in charge of things now, and I am not messing around. Uncle, tell me why you can't do it?"
"Huh, what does Mrs. Jiang know when you are an official? You are using my Xu family as cattle and horses, turning your elbows outward, and giving so much food to outsiders for free."
Xu Changming babbled on about how he was ignored by everyone when he was elected village chief, and was scolded by Mr. Xiao Man, so he had built up resentment in his heart.
Now that he was talking about mutual assistance, he was even more dissatisfied. The Xu family's land and the Xu family's affairs were now occupied by outsiders, and Baba had to provide help.
It's just that he doesn't care about things when he's at home, and Xu Gensheng, the grandson of the second family, is already an official, so he is even more dissatisfied.
"Come on, uncle, if you have time today, let's talk about it!"
Xu Yousheng was full of energy. The two gangsters found their opponents and began to reason!
