Turn around and continue working. In fact, the work in the fields could have been completed long ago, but everyone is working hard, so they have to go to the fields every day.
After finally surviving for a day, Jiang Hua, Zhong Yuemin, and Jiang Biyun found the Secretary General with Zheng Tong's notebook.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Jiang Hua shouted: "Secretary Chang, is Secretary Chang at home?"
Zhong Yuemin whispered: "He must be at home. Didn't we watch him go home? What are you shouting for?"
"In case someone is inconvenient now, shouting is equivalent to knocking on the door."
Zhong Yuemin and Jiang Biyun nodded together. They were really learning all the time. In the city, they didn't live in large courtyards, so they had to knock on the door. They really didn't adapt to the countryside when they first arrived.
"Are you there? Let's talk in the room."
There were five children sitting on the kang in the home of Party Secretary Chang, all of whom had dishes on their faces, and one of them was holding a night of cornmeal in his hand, making the wild vegetables gooey and inhaling the delicious aroma.
Seeing the three people coming, Secretary Chang was also polite and said: "It's you three, do you want something? Let's have something together."
Zhong Yuemin saw that the wild vegetables in the big basin on the table had reached the bottom of the soup, so what could be left for the three of them to eat.
Jiang Hua shook his head and said, "No, it's too far. Let's discuss something with you."
I guess Secretary Chang didn't understand the meaning of "Zianguo", but he understood what he said later about "discussing something." So he drank the paste in two sips, picked up the pipe and pot, and walked into the yard with the three of them.
The three of them sat on stools. Secretary Chang squatted on the millstone in the yard, lit the pipe pot, and took a nice puff first.
"Just tell me if you have anything to do!"
Jiang Hua, who took the seat as the speaker, said: "Secretary Chang, we have been in the village for a few days, and we have learned a lot about the things in the village. Some families are about to run out of food, so we are discussing some countermeasures."
Hearing this, Chang Zhishu paused while smoking. He thought to himself, I might have been caught confiscating their food.
"Secretary Chang, I see that the main crops grown in the village are wheat and corn. The wheat is paid to the public grain, and I am reluctant to eat the remaining milled flour. However, I see that there are still many fragments of land in the fields that are not fully utilized. Is it possible to plant some? Sweet potatoes and potatoes, these things have a large yield and can survive in critical times."
When Secretary Chang heard that it was not about youth rations, he felt relieved, took a puff of cigarette and said, "Go on, I see you have written down a lot in that little notebook, what else is there?"
"The front and back of this house are empty. Can you plant some pumpkins? This thing has a large yield and can be used as a vegetable to fill your stomach."
Chang Gui nodded but said nothing.
"Also, the compost in the village is just a pile of livestock and human excrement collected by the villagers. It cannot play its maximum role. It can be improved to make it more fertile. Earthworms can also be raised in the dung pile to ferment the dung pile. There are benefits too.”
Chang Gui asked: "What is an earthworm?"
"It's the Strong Earth Insect."
Chang Gui nodded. Although he didn't understand, it didn't stop him from nodding.
"There are also sheep raised in the village. There is relatively little grass around here, and the sheep are almost thin. I suggest that we raise chickens. The strong groundworms raised in the manure pile can be used as chicken feed. After eating the strong groundworms, the chickens will grow taller. It’s fast and lays a lot of eggs.”
Chang Gui's face looked happy, but he still didn't speak.
"If you raise more chickens, the chicken manure can also be used as fertilizer. You can achieve multiple benefits with one stone."
Jiang Biyun said: "There is another thing. The children in the village do not go to school every day. They will not be blind when they grow up, so we must make the children literate."
Chang Gui knocked his pipe and pot, and the old man said calmly: "After all, he is an educated young man from the capital. He knows a lot. I know what you said, which is good, but we farmers don't understand."
Jiang Hua closed his notes and said: "Secretary Chang, you didn't understand before, but now we educated young people are here. We want to receive your education and help you. We report this matter to you just to take over the matter." , we will take command and the village will cooperate to ensure that the villagers can have enough to eat."
Secretary Chang nodded: "That's the truth, but we need to talk about it at the village organization meeting so that everyone can discuss it."
"We should not only tell it at the organizational meeting, but also make it clear to all the villagers."
Chang Gui smiled and lit a pot of cigarettes. He was very satisfied with these three children. They were not arrogant and sensible. They were all good children.
"Well, I have something to ask."
Jiang Hua was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you asking?"
"If those potatoes, pumpkins and chickens are planted in every corner, are they considered collective or in individual houses?"
Jiang Hua smiled bitterly and said: "Party Secretary, given the current situation, these things can only be regarded as collective."
"I'm afraid that won't work. You kids have also seen that when you do collective work, you have to work hard one by one. If these tasks are added, I'm afraid you will be even less willing to do it."
“So, this depends on the power of the organization. We must make it clear to the villagers. If they don’t understand, we must break it apart and crush it into pieces. Explain it clearly to them and let them know that this is done entirely for their own benefit. , we young people will also help the organization to work together."
Secretary Chang banged his pipe and pot, stuck it into his waist and said, "I understand, let's have the comrades of the organization hold a meeting overnight. If it happens, you kids must take it seriously."
Zhong Yuemin patted his chest and said, "Secretary Chang, don't worry. I have never been so serious in my life. I will definitely do a good job for you."
"You go back first, and I will give you a letter after the organizational meeting has been discussed."
After saying that, Party Secretary Chang hurriedly walked out of his yard. He was a terrible Party Secretary. He worried about the villagers' food rations all day long. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a serious food problem. Now educated young people are willing to help, regardless of whether they have it or not. He wanted to try it.
Jiang Biyun looked at Jiang Hua, thought for a moment and asked, "Are we successful?"
Zhong Yuemin scratched his head and said, "I don't know."
Jiang Hua said firmly: "Half the success is achieved. At least the standing party secretary is willing to hold an organizational meeting instead of turning a deaf ear to our suggestions. Even if they are suspicious, we can convince them."
Jiang Biyun said with some guilt: "This feels more nervous than taking an exam in school."
"Of course, this is related to the survival of hundreds of people. It's a human life. Not to mention you, I'm a little nervous."
Zhong Yuemin laughed: "Brother, this is the first time I've seen you nervous. The last time I received an award for meritorious service and brought a big red flower on the podium, I never saw you nervous."
