Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Wang Zhengguo did not agree directly.

His silence made Shao Jiandang's heart grow cold a little. Just when it was getting colder, he heard Wang Zhengguo say: "I can borrow it."

"Really?" Shao Jiandang couldn't believe his ears. He took out his ears hard and said, "Old Wang, did you really agree to lend us food? Really?"

Several strong workers, both standing and squatting, raised their heads in unison and looked at Wang Zhengguo in surprise.

Lu Jiang and Wang Dachun felt very uncomfortable.

"I promise to lend you food, but I have a condition."

After listening to Wang Zhengguo's words, Shao Jiandang hurriedly said: "I agree to any conditions, let alone one, I agree to ten or eight! I really have no choice but to find you."

Wang Zhengguo said seriously: "There is no such thing as getting something for nothing in the world. Getting something for nothing can easily lead to laziness, and you may not be grateful for others' efforts. So my condition is equal exchange. I will lend you food. I know you have no money, and I don't want you." You don’t need to return the money, but there is always something else you can exchange for it, right?”

Shao Jiandang was as happy as a child when he heard that he didn't have to pay back the grain he borrowed. But when he heard what Wang Zhengguo said later, he frowned, "Our production brigade only has this mule and some farm tools. We have nothing. What can we exchange for it?" ? Lao Wang, you can’t mess with this mule, it’s my life! Without this mule, I’ll be twice as tired during the busy season.”

"Earth." Wang Zhengguo said.

"What did you say?"

Wang Zhengguo said: "I said I would lend you food, and you would give me the land, and allocate a large piece of land that your brigade cannot cultivate for our brigade to grow food. Your land is mountainous, and I know that sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn are grown in mountainous areas. The yield is the highest, and it is suitable for growing cash crops such as cotton, sunflowers and peanuts.”

"This..." Shao Jiandang was silent.

"Your brigade has more than 4,000 acres of land, can it be cultivated by just two or three hundred of you? Do you have enough grain? Do you have enough livestock and farm tools? None of them, right? What a pity it is deserted! You plan Of course, it doesn't belong to us. The land is still yours, or it means that it is lent to us to grow crops. I will not cultivate your land in vain. The borrowed grain does not need to be paid back. When the time comes, we will help you with the public grain that will be paid to the land. I will also leave some seeds for you, which will be beneficial to your future development.”

Shao Jiandang was very excited, "But, can the commune allow this? The land belongs to the state and the collective. Private individuals only have so much private land. If I lend the land to you for planting, will it violate any laws from above? I also know that It’s a pity that large tracts of land are deserted, but we are too clever to make a living without rice.”

Wang Zhengguo glared at him, "I'm trying to think of ways to help you. I don't want you to get something for nothing, so I came up with a mutually beneficial method that also contributes to the country!"

Shao Jiandang understood immediately.

"Okay!" Shao Jiandang agreed, and he took Wang Zhengguo's hand, "We brothers went to the commune to find cadres and asked them to testify for us, saying that your Wanglou brigade is to help the development of our Huoguang brigade and that you are helping us! "

The Huoguang Brigade is located in the southwest corner of the Wanglou Brigade. Many areas border the Wanglou Brigade and both belong to Shuguang Commune.

In fact, the commune cadres were so worried that they had no choice but to explain to their superiors that too many people had starved to death under their control. The reduction in labor force had also resulted in uncultivated land, leaving large areas of land barren, and the collected public grains did not meet national standards. .
