Chapter 41 Talking to the captain about the group and digging holes for others
"But that's not right, grandpa, why did you believe what you said about the captain?" Li Jiayi asked doubtfully.
"Plus one! There are also capable people in our village. When we were just liberated, a family in our village moved to the city, which is a bit far away from you. But according to seniority, you have to call him uncle. He Dad and I are within five servers."
"Big. The captain had contact with him. He heard from the captain that his father-in-law was very capable and arranged for him to be the logistics director in a factory. "
"No, the captain went to find him and asked him about it. After a while, I made the decision.”
"So that's it! Let me tell you! Why did the whole village start moving with just one word from you."
Li Jiayi didn't believe it either. He himself had this ability, and the villagers believed it with just one word. .
It's okay for my family to believe it. After all, they are the closest people to me. It's definitely not that simple for others to believe it.
But this way, Li Jiayi is much more relaxed. Every family has stocked up on food, and there will be less trouble in the future.
I had dinner very early and finished it before six o'clock. Because of Li Jiayi's arrival, I even scrambled eggs in the evening.
The reason why he ate so early was that grandma was afraid that he would be hungry.
After eating, he told his grandma and Li Jiayi ran out.
A few minutes later, Li Jiayi came to a yard, went up and patted the door.
"Who is it?" A young woman's voice came from the courtyard.
“I’m looking for the captain.”
The door opened quickly, and the person who opened the door was a woman in her twenties or eighties. Li Jiayi knew her, and she was the captain's daughter-in-law.
"Hello, sister-in-law."
"It's Plus One! Come in quickly."
"Okay." Li Jia nodded and went in.
When they came to the courtyard, the captain's daughter-in-law said: "Jiayi, my father is in the house, you can go in directly! I also have to help my mother cook."
"Okay sister-in-law, you are busy."
Li Jiayi came to the main room, where an old man in his fifties was sitting in the room smoking.
"Hello, uncle."
"Jiayi is here, sit down quickly."
"What is uncle thinking about?" Li Jia saw what he was thinking about just now , just asked.
"Jiayi! If you don't come, I'm going to look for you!"
The captain already knows that Li Jiayi told Li Laogen about the group.
“No, what do you want from me?” Li Jiayi asked doubtfully.
"Plus one! I have heard about the collective, but I don't know many specific things, such as how much food to store."
"Uncle, this is still useful. Do you want to ask? Of course, the more, the better! Use whatever money you have, and even sell it, to buy food.”
"So serious?" The captain looked at Li Jiayi and asked.
"Uncle, I can't tell you the specifics, but one thing is that it is much more serious than you think."
"Hiss!" the captain took a breath. , said: "What should we do! Each household does not have so many Money!"
Li Jiayi shrugged helplessly and said, "You can only take out as much as you can."
There is nothing he can do about it. There are more than a hundred households in the village. , there are hundreds of people, and they need an extraordinary amount of food.
"Uncle, don't you still have cows and donkeys? You can sell them and exchange them for grain!"
In fact, not only cows and donkeys, but also many people in the village raise pigs and sheep. If If they are all sold, the food purchased will be enough to last two to three years.
The captain shook his head quickly and said: "This is not possible. If the cattle and donkeys are sold, what will happen to the land?"
"Uh!" Well, this is indeed a problem. You must know that in In the countryside, whether it's cattle or donkeys, it's a lot of labor!
There is a saying that is often said in later generations, the donkeys in the production team do not dare to rest like this, and it refers to this time.
"Uncle, there is something I want to tell you."
"What?"
"When we become a collective, all the cattle, donkeys and sheep in the village, All must be registered.”
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the captain frowned and asked, “What’s the point of registering?”
"They will all be collected into the collective. That is to say, from now on, no matter whether it is pigs, cattle, sheep, donkeys, horses, or chickens, ducks and geese, they will not be bought or sold privately."
"Is there any other way to say that?"
"Yes, although you said in the meeting that each family will have their own affairs in the future, these all need to be registered. It will be very troublesome if there is one less pig."
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the captain then I couldn't sit still anymore and walked around the room anxiously.
"Jiayi, tell your uncle, what should I do?"
The captain thought that Li Jiayi should know a lot of things that he didn't know, because he was the one who brought it up in the first place.
He even said that the person he was looking for did not know as much as Li Jiayi.
Because that person only told him that there was indeed such a thing as becoming a collective, but he did not ask him to hoard food.
The captain was really right. Li Jiayi did know more than that person.
But it’s not because Li Jiayi is more energetic than that person, but because he comes from later generations.
"Uncle, I can only tell you, stock up on food, stock up on food, stock up on food."
"Uh!" The captain was speechless. This is not what he wanted! He wants a solution.
"Uncle, there is one more thing."
"What is it?"
"It is what you said in the meeting that each family should pass the rules. This is simply impossible. Still have to eat from the big pot.”
"Why? Just show up during the examination."
Li Jiayi didn't know what to say. It would be nice if it was that simple.
"Uncle, when the time comes, the county or commune will send a village team, and those people will live in the village."
"What the hell, there is a village team?"
“Yes.”
"What should we do?"
"Uncle, this is very simple. Count the number of people, and then each family will pay food according to the population, but not too much. It will be enough to eat until April or May next year."
Of course, this refers to April and May of the lunar calendar, and rural areas do not follow the solar calendar!
The fifth month of the lunar calendar coincides with the summer harvest. Although next year’s summer harvest will not be very good, isn’t this the desired effect?
Let the people in the village team see how bad everyone's life is, and maybe they can get some relief food.
"Plus one! Do you think if everyone is asked to hand over pigs, cattle, sheep, etc., will everyone be unwilling?"
"Uncle, this is for sure, but there is no way. This is the policy. According to I said I would sell it. Anyway, there is a team stationed in the village. When the time comes, I will sell it. The village team will come up with a solution."
Hearing Li Jiayi's words, the captain's eyes lit up and he looked at him and said: "You are so bad, you are planning on targeting the village team. ”
The village team also has a mission! They are also responsible if the village fails to complete planting and harvesting on time.
“By the way, uncle, don’t sell the pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese. These can increase some income for the village. They can then be sold to the commune’s purchasing station or to the procurement agencies of various factories. Member.”
