Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

The next few days were relatively peaceful for the Hewan Brigade.

Although the Wei family's ugly behavior made everyone extremely angry, the people had been arrested after all, and people had to move on. The members gradually returned to normal life.

In the morning, another batch of sesame candies came out of the oven, and Lin Zhengjun went to the brigade to borrow a tractor to deliver the goods to the county town.

However, before that, he and Tang Xiaofu went to take a look at the new house construction site on the hillside behind the mountain.

"Zhengjun, there seem to be a lot more people than in the past few days!" Tang Xiaofu said in surprise.

"Well, many members of the Wei family have come to help! If nothing goes wrong, it will be completed in two weeks!" Lin Zhengjun nodded.

Many members were grateful to him for catching Wei Shanhu, a nest of corrupt officials, and they volunteered to help at the construction site without even eating a bite of food.

There is strength in numbers, and the construction of the new house is progressing much faster.

Now the walls of the four large tiled houses and the bathroom, kitchen, utility room and gatehouse have been basically built. It is estimated that in a few days, the beams will be put up and the purlins will be installed and the tiles will be covered.

Once the tiles are laid, the main structure of the building is completed. The next step is "decoration", which includes painting with lime, laying tiles or cement floors, and the work is done.

Tang Xiaofu smiled sweetly as she imagined living in a spacious and bright new house in the future: "This is much better than the house I live in in the city!"

Tang Xiaofu had an ancestral courtyard house in Beijing, but due to policy reasons a few years ago, it was taken back by the Housing Authority.

It turned out that the four of them, her parents, grandmother and younger brother, were only allocated a dark and cramped house of more than 20 square meters, and she and her younger brother had to live on bunk beds.

When I saw my seventh uncle Wei Yongji bringing his two great-grandsons, who were eight or nine years old, to help move bricks and transport sand and cement.

Lin Zhengjun was also moved, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Seventh Uncle, you are old, so don't be so busy!"

Uncle Seven stopped what he was doing, took off his straw hat and fanned himself, then smiled kindly, "It's okay, I only do easy tasks, helping out is just a form of exercise!"

Lin Zhengjun handed him a Mudan cigarette and said, "Seventh Uncle, I sent Wei Shanhu and his family to jail. Don't you hate me?"

"Not only do I not hate you, I am grateful to you!"

Wei Yongji smiled sincerely and said, "Wei Shanhu's family has become a disaster. They have harmed the entire brigade, including the Wei clan members. If we catch him, we will eliminate harm for the people!"

He patted his chest and said with great assurance: "Zhengjun, you are a good kid and the savior of our Hewan Brigade. I support you. If anyone with the surname Wei dares to disobey you, I will break their legs!"

"Thank you, Seventh Uncle! Please work carefully and don't get tired!" Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu left the new house construction site and rushed to the brigade headquarters.

"Zhengjun, have you eaten? What are you doing?"

"Eat it! Go to the brigade and borrow a tractor."

"Wow! The regular army is going to get rich again, making a fortune every day!"

"You're exaggerating! I'm just making a fuss!"

"Zhengjun, you did a great job. By getting rid of the scourge of the Wei family, our brigade will be clean and upright, and we will have a bright future in the future!"

"Ah! It is my duty to rid the people of harm!"

Along the way, the members I met greeted me warmly with smiles on their faces, and there was awe, gratitude and admiration in their eyes.

The fear is that the Wei family is large in number and has been domineering in the Hewan Brigade for many years. In everyone's eyes, they are unshakable, but they were easily overthrown by Lin Zhengjun.

Thankfully, Wei Shanhu was extremely conservative in his thinking and strictly prevented members from developing diversified operations or family side businesses.

When he went in, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that it was time to do something big.

And Lin Zhengjun is the great contributor and hero who liberated the Hewan Brigade!

What is admirable is that when Wei Shanhu's two children were bullied, he upheld justice, gave them food, and arranged for them to live and eat in the brigade headquarters. What a kind and righteous man!

Lin Zhengjun was modest and polite yet enthusiastic. He would stop from time to time to chat and offer a cigarette, which made everyone like him even more.

……

Brigade headquarters, office.

"General Tang Zhiqing is here, come in, have a seat and have some tea!"

Seeing Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu coming in, Captain Wei Mingxuan enthusiastically offered him a seat and poured him tea.

"Forget it, Captain Wei. I'm in a hurry to go to the county town to deliver hemp candy." Lin Zhengjun picked up the handle and was about to start the tractor.

"Zhengjun, don't be anxious. I have something to discuss with you!" Lin Bingde went out and pulled Lin Zhengjun in.

"What's the matter?" Lin Zhengjun sat down on the chair and Tang Xiaofu followed him in.

Lin Bingde smiled and said, "General, Captain Wei and I have discussed this and have an idea. I would like to ask for your opinion!"

"what idea?"

"Wei Shanhu has been arrested, and the commune has also issued an order to relieve him of his duties. Now the position of deputy captain is vacant. Do you want to be the deputy captain?"

"What? You want me to be the deputy captain? Are you kidding?" Lin Zhengjun looked surprised.

On the one hand, he didn't expect that the brigade couldn't wait to replace the deputy brigade leader before the Wei family's case was fully heard;

On the other hand, the deputy team leader was often selected from among the team leaders of several production teams. It was impossible for him to be promoted directly without ever having been a cadre for a day.

"Seriously, this is a joke!"

Lin Bingde glared and said, "Just yesterday, the captain, the accountant and I went to the county supply and marketing cooperative to buy Yumai No. 8 wheat seeds."

"You know, the wheat seeds are in short supply! Hundreds of teams in the county are crowded together, and there is a long queue at the warehouse door. People buy in order according to their numbers. A team can only get 50 to 60 mu of wheat seeds!"

“When we get there, guess what!”

"What's the matter?" Lin Zhengjun asked.

"Your friend named Hao Jianguo called us directly to the back door of the warehouse and gave us 100 bags of wheat seeds, a total of kilograms, and a lot of fertilizers. When people from other teams saw it, they were so envious that they almost cried." Lin Bingde slapped his thigh.

"This is truly a backdoor..." Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

Lin Bingde counted on his fingers and said, "There are more than 800 people in the Hewan Brigade, and each person has one mu and two mu of land, so there are about 1000 mu of arable land."

"One mu of land requires about 15 to 20 kilograms of wheat seeds. Now with these bags of wheat seeds, % of the arable land of the brigade can be planted with high-quality seeds, and the rest can be planted with sweet potatoes and the like. Next year's wheat harvest will definitely be good, and you will be the hero!"

In fact, in later generations, generally 30 kilograms of wheat seeds were needed per acre of land.

At this time, the weight of wheat seeds required per acre of land was lower than in later generations. On the one hand, the wheat was not full enough and the weight of each grain was lighter. The amount of 15 to 20 kilograms of wheat seeds was actually not much less than that in later generations.

Another aspect is that chemical fertilizers are not yet widely used, so planting cannot be too dense.

You should know that if the plants are too dense and the fertility is insufficient, the seedlings will be weak and yellow, and they will compete with each other for water and nutrients, which is not conducive to the growth of all the wheat plants. In the middle and late stages, the number of tillers increases, and the ventilation and light transmission in the field are greatly reduced, leading to an increase in diseases and pests, and it is not conducive to prevention and control. Secondly, when it comes to the heading and flowering stage, it cannot proceed normally. At the same time, because the root system is not firm, the probability of lodging is greatly increased.

In fact, many teams did not understand this at the beginning, especially in the era of big talk. They liked to plant densely without thinking. It was not until the county agricultural technology station went to the countryside to provide guidance that everyone understood scientific sowing.

"Last year, the Linhe Brigade next door obtained less than 8 kilograms of Yumai No. and planted dozens of acres. The brigade cadres were so proud of themselves that their tails were raised to the sky. Now, hmm, they are so envious!" Wei Mingxuan smiled proudly.

"I understand. You think I have a good relationship with the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, so I will be the deputy team leader so that it will be easier to get agricultural supplies!"

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "But even if I don't become the deputy captain, Hao Jianguo will still make it convenient for you!"

“There are more benefits than this!”

Lin Bingde hurriedly said, "We chose you as the deputy team leader because you are knowledgeable, cultured, insightful and motivated. Now that the rural areas have been reformed, we can develop diversified operations and collective sideline businesses. You have to lead the members to live a good life!"

Wei Mingxuan said: "Also, you helped the public security organs to catch the Wei family's nest of parasites, and you have a high prestige among the members!"

"Seventh uncle Wei Yongji has already expressed his position in the clan. No matter who takes the position of the new deputy captain, the Wei family will not accept it. He will only agree if you take the position!"

"Uncle Bingde, Captain Wei, please forgive me. I, a humble servant, can't do it!" Hearing this, Lin Zhengjun felt as if thunder was rolling in the sky for a moment and quickly refused.
