Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

Tang Xiaofu smiled innocently and said, "But this is also good. You can send "Qi Men Dun Jia" to Hong Kong and earn royalties again!"

After chatting about family matters for a while, Lin Zhengjun finished his meal in a hurry. Tang Xiaofu obediently picked up the dishes and chopsticks and took them to the hot spring pool to wash them.

Afterwards, the two took a shower and had an intimate conversation for 40 minutes.

After Lin Zhengjun washed Tang Xiaofu with a warm towel, the two of them put on their autumn clothes and cotton jackets, snuggled up at the head of the bed, and whispered to each other.

Lin Zhengjun asked: "When do you want us to go to Yanjing together?"

"Let's just finish the Lantern Festival!"

Tang Xiaofu thought for a moment and said, "We will definitely leave the Hewan Brigade in the future. We only see each other a few times a year. We should spend more time with our parents."

"Besides, I also like staying in the Hewan Brigade, getting close to nature, basking in the sun, reading books, and feeling relaxed and at ease, as if time is passing by forever."

"Also, we both have to take the college entrance examination this year, so we have to prepare actively. Once we get to the Beijing Film Studio, we will be busy and have no time to read!"

"Well, then just have a good rest at home." Lin Zhengjun thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Making money is important, career is important, but accompanying parents is more important. After his rebirth, his biggest wish is to hope that his parents and Tang Xiaofu can be happy.

In the next few days, Lin Zhengjun specifically sought out Bai Zhiyuan to report on the construction of the pig farm.

He specifically picked up the two bottles of XO that Fu Qi sent over.

Bai Zhiyuan was very happy and couldn't stop smiling.

Given his level and position, he has plenty of opportunities to get Moutai and Wuliangye on a daily basis.

But XO is a rare thing not only for him, but also for many municipal and department-level officials.

It is not sold in state-owned department stores, only in foreign-related stores.

Bai Zhiyuan didn't say that he was greedy for this glass of wine, but he said that when the superior leaders came to inspect and guide the work, he could use this to entertain them.

Bai Zhiyuan and Xu Zhigong have the same attitude towards pig farms - develop them slowly and don't publicize them in a big way for the time being.

Lin Zhengjun’s pig farm can indeed serve as a benchmark for private enterprises, but it is not appropriate to set it up at this time.

Because Lin Zhengjun knew that the overheated economy, rising prices and inflation in 1980 led to a contractionary policy towards private enterprises in 1981.

In October 1980, the "Interim Provisions on Developing and Protecting Socialist Competition" was issued, proposing "allowing and encouraging various economic forms and enterprises to give full play to their strengths and develop competition."

But by 1981, there had been a major change in caliber.

In January of this year, two emergency documents were issued to crack down on speculation.

First, on the 7th, an "Instruction on Strengthening Market Management and Cracking Down on Speculation and Smuggling Activities" was issued, stipulating that "individuals, including private partnerships, are not allowed to sell industrial products without the approval of the industrial and commercial administrative department", "rural communities and collectives can traffic in second and third category agricultural and sideline products that are surplus after the community completes the state procurement tasks and fulfills the negotiated purchase contracts and are not purchased by the state, but are not allowed to sell first category agricultural products" and "four people are not allowed to purchase large transportation equipment such as cars, tractors, and motor boats to engage in trafficking."

Then, on the 30th, the document “Several Provisions on Adjusting the Industrial and Commercial Tax Burden of Rural Commune-Brigade Enterprises” was issued, which clearly stated that “…all communal enterprises that compete with large advanced enterprises for raw materials and have high profits, whether newly established or existing, shall be subject to industrial and commercial income tax in accordance with regulations.”

At that time, the product and industrial directions of the commune-brigade enterprises were already very clear. They mainly served agricultural production and were required not to compete with advanced large industrial enterprises for raw materials and power.

For example, in 1981, Daqiuzhuang, which produced cold-rolled steel, was under pressure from above. Their steel mill was clearly competing with state-owned enterprises for raw materials, and the steel produced disrupted the planned market. Therefore, the county sent an investigation team to investigate, and a conflict broke out with local villagers...

This cold wave continued until the late spring cold snap in the private economy in 1982...

This is also the reason why Lin Zhengjun wanted to expand into Hong Kong Island in the next two years.

On the one hand, Hong Kong is a speculative paradise where money can be made the fastest;

On the other hand, the mainland is a bit unsafe...

Of course, in most cases, even if private capital is suppressed, it will be safe.

But I always feel uncomfortable. It seems like it is a huge sin to make money without stealing or robbing.

This is also the case in Bai Zhiyuan's opinion.

Pig farms are too "capitalist" and can easily be targeted and become the second Nian Guangjiu, sparking all kinds of controversy.

The most important thing is that Lin Zhengjun makes money, the villagers become wealthy, and contribute real financial revenue to the county.

In addition, Lin Zhengjun got some approval slips for purchasing pig bones from the county meat processing plant and slaughterhouse from Bai Zhiyuan.

In fact, the pig, cattle and sheep bones from the meat processing plant slaughterhouse were originally thrown away as garbage, and they even had to pay garbage disposal fees to the sanitation department.

But the planned economic system is so rigid that you can throw it away, but if you want to trade it and sell it to the people, you need the approval of the leaders.

When he arrived at the meat processing plant and the slaughterhouse for the handover, Lin Zhengjun did not come empty-handed. He took a pack of cigarettes and two bottles of wine.

In fact, with his identity and status, and Bai Zhiyuan's note, Lin Zhengjun didn't need to be so polite. They had to do it.

But Lin Zhengjun had lived two lives and was well versed in human nature. He knew how difficult it was to deal with little devils, so he acted in a low-key and easy-going manner, and it was never a big mistake not to offend anyone.

A pack of Daqianmen cigarettes and two bottles of Yangshao wine cost only a little over ten yuan. They are nothing more than social connections, but they can make two grassroots cadres very happy. In the future, it will be much smoother for the Hewan Brigade to ask them to do things. Isn't it wonderful?

After this matter was settled, Lin Zhengjun made a special trip to Huanghuai City before the Lantern Festival to visit Zheng Yongchang from the Water Conservancy Bureau.

Zheng Yongchang strongly supports the fish in Donghu Reservoir and will continue to support it in the future.

Although Zheng Yongchang's support for Lin Zhengjun was considered a return of favor, Lin Zhengjun still felt grateful...

After finishing these trivial matters, Lin Zhengjun's work in his hometown was almost done.

……

Lantern Festival, morning.

Lin Zhengjun was reading in the new house in the back mountain, and Tang Xiaofu was also reviewing her homework. The stove was glowing red and warm.

Lin Hongying came running in and said with a smile: "Brother, sister-in-law, let's go pick shepherd's purse!"

There is a custom in Huaibian County during the Lantern Festival that people not only eat glutinous rice balls, but also shepherd's purse dumplings.

Of course, this was when times were good. During those hungry years, all we needed was white flour buns to eat.

Shepherd's purse dumplings, in later generations, is a delicacy full of regional characteristics.

In the 70s, the members ate shepherd's purse dumplings more as a stopgap measure to fill their stomachs.
