Chapter 2218 Chu Heng’s Suggestion
When the two young men heard that Chu Heng was going to give some things to Secretary Liu, they couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pain in their hearts, but they still followed the instructions and walked towards the fire kang to get the things.
After all, those things were brought by Chu Heng. It is their freedom to give it to whomever they want, and they have no right to stop it.
Chu Qi didn’t say anything. He was not a stingy person in the first place. Besides, it is normal behavior to bring things when going to someone’s house for dinner these days, so he limped along and helped to pack them.
"This...how can you be so embarrassed? Logically speaking, you and Director Lu are visiting our team, and it is your duty to entertain you. How can we let you bring your own things..." Secretary Liu rubbed his hands in embarrassment. , but did not say any words of rejection.
As the saying goes, people are poor and have short ambitions. They in Liujiagou have trouble even having enough food to eat. Chu Heng also said that he would bring the educated youths with him. The amount of grain chewing is not a small amount, and it has greatly exceeded Secretary Liu's budget. , so he really didn’t have the confidence to refuse Chu Heng’s kindness.
“You don’t have to do this.” Chu Heng handed him a cigarette and said with a smile: “Nowhere is rich these days. There are so many people here. It’s normal to bring some food and drink. Otherwise, I won’t be able to eat in peace.”
“Oh, they are all poor.” Secretary Liu sighed and sipped hard. Yan Yan, looking out the door, said longingly: "It would be great if we had endless food, so that when guests come to the village, we wouldn't even dare to set up a bigger banquet."
< br>"Haha, what are you dreaming about? If you still have endless food, I guess only the gods in the sky can do it." Lu Bin said with a smile.
"Not necessarily. Isn't there that saying? Man can conquer nature. As long as we work together and work hard to build a new China, we will definitely see that day!" Chu Heng looked far-reaching and said leisurely: "We've arrived. At that time, everyone will be able to eat well and eat well, and we will throw away every single one of the white steamed buns that we can’t eat now.”
"Don't dare to spoil the food!" Secretary Liu laughed and waved his hands: "That food is all watered by our sweat, every drop of sweat. If you eat one and throw away the other, you will be punished."
" That's what I said." Chu Heng shrugged and stood up, and said enthusiastically: "Let's not sit here anymore. Let's go to the village and walk around in the fields?"
"Let's go." Lu Bin stood up happily.
"Then you wait for a moment." Secretary Liu got up quickly and found Chu Qi and Xiao Zhang who were picking things. He whispered: "Go as soon as you have picked something, and tell Mrs. E that she can Make dough balls.”
“Got it, Secretary”
When the three brothers heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up. The dough balls are two boxes of steamed buns made from white flour and stick noodles or sorghum noodles. They are rare in this poor mountain village. They are not available at all. They are only available during the busiest days of farm work. Eat, these educated youths have not eaten for a long time.
Ever since, seeing Secretary Liu being so generous, Chu Qi turned around and stuffed another can of luncheon meat inside without hesitation.
Secretary Liu noticed his behavior and looked at him with even more admiration.
"You will be a good young man."
Patting Chu Qi on the shoulder, the old secretary turned around and came out of the Educated Youth Point with Chu Heng and the others.
They first looked around the village. When they passed the threshing floor in the middle of the village, Chu Heng also saw the three losers hanging under a jujube tree. Many people gathered around, pointing and gloating.
They didn’t stay here too long. After taking a look, they went elsewhere. Not long after, they came out of the village and went to the fields to have a look.
Unconsciously, a group of people came to a mountain. Chu Heng looked at the rolling hills and crisscross ravines in the distance, and then looked down at the members who were working hard under the slope. Suddenly, his heart As soon as I moved, I remembered the terraced fields I saw when I came to northern Shaanxi in my previous life. I turned around and asked, "Secretary Liu, why don't you build terraced fields here?"
"What do you mean?" Secretary Liu looked confused. .
Lu Bin knew better. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "They don't build many terraces here. Some communes to the east of the county build more terraces." "Then why not build terraces? The benefits of terraces are so great. ." Chu Heng asked doubtfully.
“I heard that it is because there are not enough technicians, so we have to promote it one by one.” Lu Bin thought.
"Director Lu, Comrade Chu Heng." Secretary Liu became more curious and asked quickly: "What is going on with this terraced field?"
"This secretary asked you to be the one." Lu Bin shook his head speechlessly and said: "I remember that as early as a year ago, our county had publicized the benefits of terraced fields in various communes. Didn’t you participate at that time?”
Secretary Liu thought about it carefully, and then he had a vague impression: “Ah, I think about it, it happened. Someone in our team happened to hang himself that day. After he died, I was dealing with things in the team and didn’t go to the meeting. Later I heard that it was about the terraces.”
"Secretary Liu, I think you should learn more about terraced fields. They have many benefits, but I don't know much about them. I just know that they can reduce soil erosion and increase food production. They are very suitable for your landscape." Chu Heng suggested .
"What? Increase production? How much can it be increased?" Upon hearing this, Secretary Liu immediately became energetic. The most pressing problem in their Liujiagou is not enough food. If they can really increase production, then he Even with my head bent, I still have to build these terraces!
“I’m not sure about this, do you know?” Chu Heng looked at Lu Bin.
"It should be thirty to forty percent." Lu Bin also had a partial understanding of this: "I don't know the details. If you really want to know, ask someone when I go back."
"Thirty or forty!" Liu The secretary was stunned when he heard this, and then he patted his thigh with regret: "Why did I leave this out? If I had known that this thing was so powerful, I would have to repair it even if I led the members to death on the plateau."
He felt as if grass had grown in his heart. How could he still have the time to accompany Chu Heng and the others for a walk? He quickly pulled them up and down.
"Let's go, let's call the commune and ask them clearly."
After a while, the three of them arrived at the team headquarters, and Secretary Liu immediately picked up the phone and called Commune.
"Hello, I am the Secretary of the Liujiagou Brigade."
"Yes, I want to ask you what is going on with that terraced field.":
"... Oh... Oh... Since it's so powerful, when will we promote it here?"
"There is no technician? Then go find one..."
Hang up the phone after a while , Secretary Liu did understand the benefits of terraced fields, but the thing was just as Lu Bin said, because of the lack of technicians, they in Jiajiaping Town would have to wait until next year to be ranked.
But Secretary Liu can't wait any longer. Now is the slack time for farming. Building terraces at this time will not delay next year's spring plowing. Otherwise, if they wait until next year, they will lose several percent of their harvest.
So he set his sights on Lu Bin, pestering him and begging: "Director Lu, I, Old Liu, beg you, can you help us get a technician from the county?"< br>
"There's nothing you can do if you beg me. First of all, I don't care about this stall. In addition, there are plans from above regarding the construction of the terraces. It's not something I can decide alone." Lu Bin explained.
“For a director as big as you, this little thing can’t trouble you.” Secretary Liu said.
"This is no small matter, Old Liu. I really can't do it, so don't make things difficult for me." Lu Bin had a headache.
Seeing this, Chu Heng pondered for a while and said: "Secretary Liu, I have a solution that is not a solution."
