Entering September, the autumn rush in the Saibei area is about to begin. This period usually lasts from mid-September to the end of October!
Then starting from November, each production team will carry out collective labor for a period of time under the organization of the county.
Basically, I did some work such as building roads, canals, and dredging rivers, until it was too cold to work.
After the collective labor is over, the county may organize militiamen from various township communes to conduct training for a period of time, sometimes for ten days and a half, sometimes for a month.
But if the weather is too cold, training may not be carried out. This is not set in stone.
This year is no exception. As soon as the children started school, the county issued a notice to all communes to prepare for the autumn harvest, requiring all production teams in the county to make detailed autumn harvest plans and ensure that the grains are returned to the warehouse.
At the same time, a notice was issued to ensure the delivery of task grains and love grains, requiring all production teams in the county to deliver the task grains to various communes within the specified time, with high quality and quantity.
After receiving the notice from the county, Babaoliang United Village immediately changed its schedule back.
At the same time, this year’s autumn harvest plan was quickly announced!
As in previous years, the vegetables are divided first, and then the grain is collected and distributed.
On September 12, under the unified command of the village cadres, the five production teams of Babaoliang United Village began to collect and distribute vegetables at the same time!
There are four vegetable plots in the village, all close to rivers and bends, but they grow different types of vegetables.
The vegetable field next to the creek in Babaoliang Village is planted with Chinese cabbage, covering more than 600 acres.
The vegetable field in Zhangjia Village is all grown in gray (cabbage), the vegetable field in Da No. 5 is planted with more than 300 acres of green onions, and the vegetable field in Zuojia Village is planted with more than 500 acres of carrots and White radish.
In addition, there are a few scattered small vegetable plots where some onions and peppers are grown.
But the total amount is less than 20 acres, which is almost negligible.
As for why eggplants, beans, cucumbers, tomatoes and other varieties are not planted, firstly, it is impossible to grow them, and secondly, there is no need.
It is impossible to grow because these vegetables require careful care and considerable planting skills, and the village lacks such experts in growing vegetables.
It's not necessary because the above vegetables are difficult to preserve for a long time. A small amount planted in every household's vegetable garden is enough to eat. There is no need to plant them in large fields.
Therefore, the vegetable fields in the village are all winter vegetables that can be stored for a long time!
Collecting and distributing vegetables is a major event in the village. Not only the educated youth members of the village are concerned about it, but also the county, commune and various units stationed in the village are very concerned about it.
On the day when the vegetables were harvested, all educated youth members from each production team went into battle, and cadres from the county and Solidarity Commune were also sent down.
The reason why it was so grand was not just because the village’s vegetable fields had a bumper harvest, which was worthy of publicity and celebration.
More importantly, the vegetables grown in Babaoliang Lianhe Village this year will not only be distributed to the educated youth members of the village, but a considerable part will be sold to Yunshan County, Tuanjie Commune and various units stationed in the village.
This is a milestone event for the agricultural development of Babaoliang Village and even Yunshan County. Therefore, under Zhou Yang's instruction, the village specially invited cadres from the county and commune to participate.
He even asked the village to hold a ceremony specifically for this matter!
Following the order from the county leader, the educated youths who had already sharpened their knives quickly divided into groups and rushed into the vegetable fields. Then they saw baskets of cabbage being chopped down, loaded onto trucks, and sent to various units.
It took three days for the village to harvest all 2,000 acres of vegetable land.
At the same time, Liang Feng and others also calculated the accounts of the vegetable field.
But when they announced the calculated accounts, the entire United Village, no matter whether they were ordinary members or cadres, were shocked.
According to village statistics, this year's more than 2,000 acres of vegetable land harvested a total of 3 million jins of cabbage, 2.4 million jins of gray cabbage, 1.5 million jins of green onions, 1.8 million jins of carrots, and 1.3 million jins of green radishes.
Including peppers, onions and other scattered small vegetable plots, the total amount of vegetables harvested in the village this year exceeds 10 million kilograms, with an average of about 5,000 kilograms per mu.
This output is not high, but it is not low either. It can only be said to be quite satisfactory!
What really surprised everyone was the income from these vegetable fields. Unlike in previous years, most of the vegetables were distributed to the members. This year, more of the vegetables were sold.
More than 30% of the vegetables were bought by the Yunshan County and Solidarity Commune governments. After all, at this time of year, they purchase some vegetables and distribute them to the leading cadres in the county. This is also part of the welfare.
In addition, the village-based research institute, Saibei Medical Research Center, and pig breeding base also bought more than three million kilograms.
This was not over yet. The county meat factory and ham sausage factory also took away 2 million jins, and only less than 2 million jins were distributed to the village members and educated youths.
These two million kilograms were saved by the village cadres desperately, otherwise they would have been taken away by various units.
According to statistics, the village earned more than 163,000 yuan from just these 2,000 acres of vegetable land, and this does not include the villagers' share.
This shocked everyone. You must know that the income is much higher than growing food.
If all 2,000 acres of land were COFCO, the total output would not exceed 600,000 kilograms, even if natural disasters were not considered.
Based on the government purchase price of 10 cents to 12 cents per catty, the total income is only about 70,000 yuan.
And if the same two thousand acres of land were used to grow vegetables, the income would be as high as three times, which is something no one expected.
In addition, the remaining vegetable leaves, roots and other things after harvesting the vegetables were also taken to the feed mill by the village members.
Next, these things will be made into biological feed together with crop straws.
There are two thousand acres of vegetable land, and these "leftovers" alone weigh millions of kilograms. How many pigs and chickens can this feed?
If the ancillary income from these things is included, the income from these vegetable plots will be even higher.
This made some village cadres think more vividly. It turns out that it is not just growing grain that can make money...
And this is just the beginning. After the vegetables are harvested, the village begins to enter the real autumn harvest mode, with oats and wheat being harvested one after another.
It's still the same as when harvesting vegetables. Once the harvest is finished in the village, the units stationed in the village will take the grain away, pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and you will get both money and goods!
Part of the remaining grain will be handed over to the commune as mission food, and part will be sold to the grain depot as charity food.
The remaining part was not put into the treasury by the village, but was distributed directly to the village members.
There is no way to separate them. There is too much food. If we put it all into the warehouse and then distribute it uniformly, it will not only be easy to cover up, but also it will not be able to fit in the warehouse.
In this way, for more than a month, the entire Babaoliang United Village started a crazy mode of collecting, buying, buying, and dividing.
By late October, after the sugar beets, the last crop in the village, were harvested, the autumn harvest in the village was finally over.
At this time, the village also calculated the results of this year's grain distribution.
Excluding those sold, this year all the educated youth members of the entire Lianhe Village, as well as the teachers, doctors, and nurses stationed in the village, will each receive 400 kilograms of vegetables, 320 kilograms of wheat, 300 kilograms of oats, 800 kilograms of corn, and 1,000 kilograms of potatoes. Human head food.
And the working population that participates in labor and is not officially registered can still get a large part of the work and grain.
Although judging from the quantity distributed, this year's head ration and work share rations are less than last year, but everyone is not panicking.
Because everyone knows that the main reason why this year's grain distribution is small is because it is sold in large quantities.
The most important thing is that now whenever there is a large transaction in the village, it will be announced.
Everyone knows that the money will be distributed to them at the end of the year. The more they accumulate now, the more they will get.
Seeing the village's income increasing, everyone was so excited that they all looked forward to the day of dividends coming as soon as possible...
