At the beginning of June, 113 registered households took the bus to Jintan Village under the arrangement of Ma Defu.
However, Ma Defu also discovered it.
Unlike the previous immigrants, these new farmers brought their families, farm tools, food rations, and livestock, and brought half of their belongings with them. At first glance, it seems that I want to put down roots here, work hard, and really consider this place my home.
Many of these newly arrived households are alone, carrying only quilt rolls. No farm tools, no livestock...
Ma Defu guessed that they might be preparing to run away after receiving the money.
The current conditions in Diaozhuang District for immigrants from Yuquanying and Jintan Villages are very difficult. Most of the villagers don't have houses to live in, and they still live in huts, which don't look like home at all. Unlike Kushui Village and Yongquan Village, at least there is a house to live in.
Second, it is difficult to leave the homeland. No matter how poor a place is, it is difficult to leave once you get used to it. The so-called golden nest and silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse.
In the play, Yuquanying and Jintan Village were already very beautiful in 2001, but the villagers of Yongquan Village were still reluctant to leave. This is the mentality.
But if they really did this, they would really bury people alive.
Last year, Yongquan Village Diaozhuang immigrated to seven places in one day. Director Zhang Xincheng was trained like a grandson by the county magistrate. If more than a hundred households ran away, the county magistrate wouldn't skin him alive!
Ma Defu started to have a headache again.
…
After immigrating to Yuquan Camp, Ma Defu asked everyone to eat first and quickly reported to Director Zhang Xincheng.
Director Zhang Xincheng also didn't expect that the temptation of money would be so great.
Three hundred yuan was enough to attract so many people, but all their problems were solved at once.
Jintan Village never had enough 60 households, so the substation did not provide electricity. As a result, the villagers were living the same life as before liberation, and even getting water became a constant problem.
"Comrade An Yongfu really helped us a lot." Zhang Xincheng said with a smile, "It shows that money is really a good thing."
"Director, don't be too quick to be happy. I still need to report." Ma Defu immediately reported what he had observed.
When Zhang Xincheng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
The reason for the immigration is to hope that the people who come here can take root here, open up wasteland and expand the land, and build this place into the south of the Yangtze River. But it would be wrong to just take the money and leave.
"Director, what should I do?" Ma Defu asked.
"In this way, while they are eating, you quickly go back to Jintan Village and discuss with Comrade An Yongfu. The three hundred yuan reward should not be distributed at once. It is best to distribute it in multiple batches." Zhang Xincheng thought for a while and said, " Um, we have to keep a close eye on things here, and give priority to register those who bring their families, bring their belongings, and come to immigrate sincerely.”
Ma Defu nodded and immediately rode to Jintan Village.
…
"When pruning an apple tree, remember to cut off the withered branches first, and also remove the branches that are not completely withered. Remember, don't feel bad. Only by giving up can you gain."
When Ma Defu arrived at the orchard, Xiang Nan was giving a lecture to everyone.
A large number of people, including Ma Debao, Li Gawa, Li Shuiwang, An Yongshou, An Yongkang, Li Yangsan, etc., were following his lectures.
"Comrade An~" Ma Defu ran over.
"Okay, you go try it first~" Xiang Nan nodded to everyone, then smiled and greeted Ma Defu, "How about it, Comrade Ma, are everyone here?"
"You're right, there's something wrong." Ma Defu reported the situation.
After hearing this, Xiang Nan nodded.
This is indeed a problem. The immigrant ran away and it had little to do with him. But for Ma Defu and Zhang Xincheng, the problem is big. So many people fled after settling down, which is a dereliction of their job.
And Xiang Nan knew that both Zhang Xincheng and Ma Defu were good people, and they were both good people who wanted to make the villagers rich. Xiang Nan also didn't want them to be involved and cause trouble.
"Well, let's do this. I'll give you twenty yuan first, and then increase it month by month. I'll give you three hundred yuan within half a year. How about that?" Xiang Nan thought for a while and said, "Within half a year, we should be able to keep them." Just stay."
Ma Defu thought for a moment and nodded.
Many villagers were indeed not used to it when they first arrived.
But after a while, most of them are willing to stay.
It's easy to work here. You can find a job whether you go to the county town or to the farm. Sometimes I can make seven or eight yuan a day, and sometimes I can make three or four yuan. It's better than being poor in the village.
Secondly, there is a rush here. Watching the fields being cultivated gives people a sense of satisfaction and success. Unlike in the village, no matter how hard you work, you can still farm the land and live in poverty, with no ambition and no hope.
…
After discussing it, Xiang Nan immediately drove Ma Defu to Yuquanying.
When I got there, I saw villagers queuing up to register.
Those who bring their families and belongings with them will be given priority. The rest of them had nothing but a quilt, and they were all arranged in the back.
"Defu'er, we've finished registration, where can I get the money?"
"Yes, we are all here, please give us your money quickly."
"Yongfu, you came here to let us find out, right? Hurry up, I can't wait!"
When the villagers saw Xiang Nan and Ma Defu, they immediately talked about it.
"Everyone be quiet, let's say something first." Ma Defu shouted, "Three hundred yuan will definitely be given, but it won't be given now or all at once. Everyone must follow us to Jintan Village Only by staying here can you get twenty yuan. From now on, the money will be paid on a monthly basis and will be paid within half a year."
"What you say now is different from what you said before."
"Isn't this a lie? I'll give you the money as soon as it comes, but it still takes half a year?"
"You lied and deceived people, tricked us here, and didn't pay us back? Is this how you do things?"
When the villagers heard this, they all started to quarrel. Those who had bad intentions and were ready to run away after receiving the money became more violent, clamoring to beat up Ma Defu and destroy the Diaozhuang Immigration Office.
The people were so angry that Ma Defu's face changed in shock. After all, he has only been working for a year and is only a nineteen-year-old young man. He has never experienced such a big storm!
"That's enough, stop arguing!" Xiang Nan roared when he saw this, and stood up and said, "You say people lied to you, but look at yourselves. You say you are immigrating to Diaozhuang, but you only carry a quilt on your back. You haven’t prepared any farm tools, and you haven’t brought any belongings with you. Are you really sincere about immigrating?
You guys can't tell what your intentions are. Don’t you just want to run away after receiving the money? Let me tell you, nothing is that cheap. Don’t fool anyone. "
"Who are you talking about!" A young man was so moved by Xiang Nan's words that he rushed towards him with his fists waving.
Xiang Nan didn't panic, turned aside to avoid the fist, grabbed his wrist with his right hand, and pulled gently, making his center of gravity unstable and his body leaning forward.
He took the opportunity to put his left hand on his waist and threw him on his back. He fell to the ground cleanly and couldn't get up for a long time.
"I defeated two knife-wielding gangsters with my bare hands, how dare you reach out to me!?" Xiang Nan said disdainfully, then glanced at the crowd, "Is there anyone else who wants to cause trouble? Who else is dissatisfied?" Well, come up and try."
One sentence shocked everyone.
Look at me and look at you, no one dares to stand out anymore.
