Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

Time flies and it is mid-August 59. The meeting held by the top leaders of the Rabbit Country at Kuanglu Mountain in Xijiang Province in the south has ended. Because of the appearance of He Yuzhu and his life-threatening advice to the great leader Xiang Lide, the Great Steel Production Movement was avoided and the exaggeration in the agricultural field was terminated ahead of schedule, so that the national economy in 8 did not have such serious problems as in the original historical development. Because the content of the meeting mainly focused on summarizing and reflecting on the exaggeration in the agricultural field, it was required to seriously summarize the experience and lessons of the agricultural field in 58 based on reality, and emphasized that the development of agriculture must follow the objective laws of development and cannot be blindly optimistic and divorced from reality.

Because the content of the Lushan Conference had changed, no one was criticized at the meeting. After the meeting, the "Resolution on Increasing Food Production and Carrying out a Food Saving Movement" and the "Decision on Adjusting the National Economic Plan for 59-60" were passed...

However, these had nothing to do with He Yuzhu who was far away in the city. It was not his turn to worry about the affairs of big shots. He only wanted to increase the automobile production of the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant. On the other hand, the 2-ton aqueous solution circulation production method urea production device of the Red Star Steel Plant finally passed the appraisal of the Ministry of Chemical Industry after several months of operation and was ready for formal large-scale production.

当化学工业部将研发出尿素水溶液循环生产法的喜讯上报到政务院后，政务院立刻下达在全国兴建10座年产10万吨的尿素合成工厂的命令，其中东北地区4座、华北地区2座、华南地区2座、西南地区2座，后续各个省份可以根据本省情况自行建设本省尿素合成工厂。

As the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes. As soon as the order to build the first batch of urea synthesis plants was issued, the areas in the Rabbit Country that should have entered the flood season from July instead experienced a large-scale and long-term drought. By September, the area affected by drought in the entire Rabbit Country reached 7 million hectares, of which 9 million hectares were disaster-stricken. Faced with the sudden large-scale drought that affected 3380.6 provinces, the Central Committee of the Rabbit Party of the Workers and Peasants' Party immediately launched disaster relief work with all its strength. In order to reduce the impact of the reduction in grain production in the affected areas, it decided to expand the scale of the urea synthesis plant and strive to increase the yield of crops in areas not affected by the disaster, thereby reducing the food gap.

Subsequently, the State Council's original plan to build 10 10-ton urea synthesis plants was changed to building 200 10-ton urea synthesis plants across the country. After the construction of these 200 10-ton urea synthesis plants is completed, more urea synthesis plants will be built in various regions across the country. The ultimate goal is to strive for each county to have a 10-ton urea synthesis plant.

As the disaster spread, the once bustling pigeon market in Sijiu City has become somewhat deserted and depressed, but in sharp contrast, the price of food has been rising. In particular, the price of cornmeal, which is very common on weekdays, has soared from 3 cents per pound to an astonishing 5 cents!

As a result, what Jia Xudong had been worried about finally happened - the Jia family could no longer afford even relatively cheap food like cornmeal. The stingy Jia Zhang tightly held on to the money she had saved with great difficulty, and had no intention of using it to help the family. With nowhere else to go, Jia Xudong, who was filled with sorrow, had no choice but to bite the bullet and quietly knock on the door of Yi Zhonghai's house in the dead of night.

When Jia Xudong, looking lonely and depressed, stepped into Yi Zhonghai's house, Yi Zhonghai immediately noticed his abnormality and hurried forward to ask with concern: "Xudong, what's the matter with you? Have you encountered any difficult troubles? If you have something to say, just say it directly, don't keep it in your heart, the master will find a way to help you!"

Hearing this, Jia Xudong could not help but feel grief-stricken, tears welling up in his eyes, and he sobbed as he replied, "Master... I... my family can't make ends meet anymore, we don't even have food to eat..."

Seeing Jia Xudong's pitiful appearance of about to cry, an old lady beside him hurriedly said to comfort him: "Don't worry, don't worry, Xudong, if there is anything, let's discuss and solve it together. Master and his wife are not outsiders!"

"Master! Our family is in a real dilemma now! You see, I am the only one who has a food ration quota, and the mere 35 kilograms of food per month is not enough to feed a whole family. In the past, my mother and Huairu still had a piece of land in the countryside, and they could harvest some food every year, with a few hundred kilograms of food, so our family could live well. But since the establishment of the mass commune, the land in our hometown is completely hopeless! I have talked to you about this before!" Yi Zhonghai nodded slightly, indicating that he remembered it.

Jia Xudong continued to complain, "Later, I had no choice but to go to Pigeon Market every now and then to buy some food that did not require food coupons. At the beginning, the price of food in Pigeon Market was relatively stable, and with my meager salary, I could barely support my family. But who would have thought that in June, the price of food in Pigeon Market suddenly soared like a rocket! I really had no choice but to buy the cheaper cornmeal, thinking that I could make do for a while. At that time, I was still thinking that when the autumn harvest season came, the price of food would definitely drop, right? Who would have thought that before the autumn harvest, even the price of cornmeal in Pigeon Market had skyrocketed! Now my family can't even afford cornmeal." At this point, Jia Xudong's face was full of sorrow, his brows were tightly knitted, as if he was suffocating under the pressure of a heavy mountain. "

"Xudong, how much is a pound of cornmeal in the pigeon market now?" Yi Zhonghai asked with concern after listening to Jia Xudong's words.

"Right now, a pound of cornmeal in the pigeon market costs 5 cents, but looking at the market conditions, it feels like the price will go up later. My family needs to buy 60 pounds of cornmeal a month to barely make ends meet, but 60 pounds of cornmeal costs 30 yuan, and my monthly salary is only 38 yuan. I can barely make ends meet this month, but I estimate that my family will have to go hungry next month. My lord, skipping a meal is not a big deal, but Banggeng and Xiaodang are so young that they can't handle it at all. Master, mister-in-law, I came to you because I really had no other choice. Can you give me some advice on what to do with my family?" After saying that, Jia Xudong looked at Yi Zhonghai and the aunt with hope.
