Chapter 104 Re-education
Put aside some miscellaneous thoughts and talk to the old party secretary about the arrangements for the past few days.
Finally, Zhu Xuefeng made an appointment with the old party secretary.
In the afternoon, under the leadership of the villagers, we went to the fields to learn how the villagers work in farming. In the evening, the village chief introduced the situation in the village, which mainly focused on self-reliance and hard work.
Tomorrow we will arrange a full day trip to the Badaling Great Wall to learn about the fight against alien invasion and the history of the Great Wall. In the evening, the village party secretary will talk about the revolutionary experience and the difficulty of victory.
On the third day, the villagers led them into the mountains to look for various fungi and other wild products. They experienced firsthand the determination and perseverance of poor and lower-middle peasants to rely on their own efforts, and also cultivated the good moral character of the students to endure hardships and stand hard work.
On the afternoon of the third day, we returned to the city with a lot of learning.
The old village party secretary very much agreed with Zhu Xuefeng's plan. He was indeed purified ideologically and educated in understanding. He also experienced the fine tradition of self-reliance of poor and lower-middle peasants in action and understood victory. hard-won and strengthened the determination to protect the results of victory.
The steel rolling mill office and publicity personnel, squad leader, deputy squad leader and two other students from the preparatory group also expressed high recognition and approval of the entire plan. Everyone unanimously decided to carry out a three-year project based on this plan. days of educational activities.
When the plan was conveyed, the students were also very happy and expressed that they would seize this precious educational opportunity, purify their minds, further strengthen their determination, and be the successors of the revolutionary cause.
The squad leader organized the class into six groups of seven people each. Deputy squad leader Wang Zhuo and sports committee member Ye Yang were urgently transferred to the preparatory group to ensure that each group had a person in charge, while Zhu Xuefeng maintained communication with all parties alone.
In the afternoon field activity, the fields were filled with colorful flags, and four banners were hung on the big trees not far away. The atmosphere was very lively, and the activity was quite decent.
Autumn corn has just been planted.
Everyone was very enthusiastic and serious. There are farming classes every semester in school, and each class has its own small experimental field. However, there is still a big difference between actually going to the farmland. The students are all Actively participate, take the initiative to ask, learn cultivation knowledge, and feel novel.
Especially girls, who are obviously more curious than boys, and they take the initiative after a while.
The comrades in the Publicity Department have been looking for the most suitable lens. Film is expensive. One roll costs more than ten to thirty yuan. It is even more expensive to develop photos. It is said that one picture costs one to three yuan. It cannot be Blind photos.
The villagers also teach very seriously. There are two villagers in each group. It is also very exciting to teach students in the city.
Seeing that both parties were enjoying themselves, Zhu Xuefeng smiled. An old comrade from the work unit said that this was indeed the case at the beginning of his return to the countryside.
Not long after, the students ran out of food, and all of them had green eyes, staring at the chickens and sheep in the village every day. Conflicts arose, and then...
Zhu Xuefeng gave The old village chief handed him a cigarette. The village chief was a little surprised. This student smoked, but he didn't look like a student at all in arranging and coordinating things.
After taking it and taking a look at the front door, Zhu Xuefeng felt a little reluctant to part with it. Zhu Xuefeng immediately got angry, and the village chief also quit.
Zhu Xuefeng also lit one and squatted on the field ridge like the village chief. The two started chatting about the situation in the village.
The harvest in the village has not been good in the past few years, and the hardships in the past few years have also hurt the vitality of the village, because it relies on Badaling, and its life is slightly better than other villages.
There are also three pigs raised in the village. The basic situation is similar to that of Niu Village in Qianshan. The situation is slightly better. Zhu Xuefeng knows that it will be more than ten years before large-scale construction of water conservancy facilities starts here, and the same predicament exists.
Most of the land in the mountainous areas is barren, and there is not much land suitable for growing food. Corn, sorghum, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are the main crops. It is said that there was a place where a small amount of rice could be grown in the past.
Zhu Xuefeng suggested to open more fields, and it does not need to be a large area. He suggested planting some soybeans and oil sunflowers. There is no need to pick these two things. Just add some farmyard manure to the soybeans. The key point is that these things seem to be in short supply now. , these two crops are relatively drought-tolerant and do not have high requirements on the fertility of the land itself.
It would be better to pour some water from time to time, but this place is short of water. The water conservancy project has not started yet, and the Longqing Gorge, which will be famous in later generations, will take several years.
We are now in a large-scale production model, where labor is concentrated, and there are very few small plots planted around the village. If small plots are opened everywhere, collective labor will not be possible, and it does not meet the requirements. The village chief was hesitant, but Zhu Xuefeng enlightened him. Once the area of responsibility was drawn, it would be no problem if the workload was roughly even. Farming in this mountainous area should be based on local conditions. It is not suitable for everyone to work together. There are few large tracts of land. It's not a plain area.
This already means dividing the land and sharing the responsibility. No wonder the village chief is entangled. Zhu Xuefeng can't say anything anymore and can only wait for them to weigh it themselves.
Then find some suitable places to plant some grapes. Except for watering when they bloom, they are very suitable for planting in mountainous areas. The sunshine, temperature, and soil quality are all very suitable.
These were all checked in the library, and combined with my own understanding of later generations, I made targeted suggestions.
Zhu Xuefeng has seen the pigs raised in the village. They are very skinny and it seems difficult to raise them to the purchase standard of 120. Based on the experience of learning pig feed, he also made some simple suggestions. They are not fat, but There is still hope that the solution can reach the standard. Feeding more green fodder and sweet potato vines should be better, but other villages probably don't have them either, so I didn't mention it.
There are some grapes planted in this village, all in the yard, and there are also oil sunflowers. There are also dozens of scattered grapes on the edge of the field outside the village. Since they are not food, they don’t care about them now.
There are also soybeans, which are grown for grinding tofu, and the quantity is very small. There are also some black beans. There are several large livestock in the village. The black beans are also a life-saving food for the livestock.
The village chief was surprised by Zhu Xuefeng’s knowledge of agriculture and breeding, and expressed interest in giving it a try.
"If we can meet the standards, we can raise more pigs. Every unit in the city is in short supply. If we can exchange some money, the village can have a virtuous cycle."
The village chief smiled bitterly, no There is no way to create a virtuous cycle with starting capital, and Zhu Xuefeng cannot spend money to solve the problems in the village.
However, Qianshan’s breeding experience can be exchanged. With chickens that lay eggs and rabbits that produce meat, the accumulation of funds should be accelerated a lot.
"Boy, I really can't see you..., well, in the second half of the year, we will do some breeding and planting as you said. We will try to open up some more fields, and things should be better next year."

Thinking of the Great Wall, Zhu Xuefeng suddenly had an idea.
"Village Chief, how about you listen to my idea? Now that the Great Wall has begun to be repaired, isn't it always short of funds?"
"Yes, it has been repaired for several years, because it has been There is no money, so we have only repaired a little bit. It is even more difficult now. I don’t know when we will be able to repair the rest. "
"Your village must also send people to repair the Great Wall."
< br>"Of course, our village is the closest and most convenient."
"How about you listen to my idea?"
Zhu Xuefeng and the village party secretary whispered for a while.
According to the old village chief, there are also many tourists visiting Badaling, more than tens of thousands of people every year.
Zhu Xuefeng’s idea was very simple. He just designed two commemorative cards. One commemorative card asked me to climb the Great Wall. On the back, I donated a brick for the restoration of the Great Wall. Each visitor donated two cents. You can get this commemorative card.
Another commemorative card asked me to climb the Hero Slope. On the back, it said that if you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero. The face value is 2 cents, and there is a place for signature on each card.
The village party secretary was silent for a while, then raised his head with solemn eyes.
“This idea seems good, but are you willing to spend 20 cents to donate a brick? Or spend 20 cents to exchange for a commemorative card.”
