Chapter 157 Rice Harvest in the Newspaper
Because last year it was discovered that the number of wild animals has dropped significantly!
This year, several surrounding brigades have issued bans, prohibiting private hunting, including pheasants and rabbits.
Many families here have ancestors who made a living by hunting, so they know the importance of forest resources.
If the prey in the mountains disappears, it will be of no benefit to them and will only affect Carmen's income.
Moreover, the sudden decrease in the number of wild animals is so strange that people can't help but wonder whether some giant predator has appeared or some terrible natural disaster is about to happen.
Everyone is worried that the number of wild animals will suddenly drop sharply!
Wouldn’t it be the case that the food available to large wild animals would also be less?
If large wild animals like wolves, tigers, pythons, etc. cannot find food, they must leave their original living areas and look for new prey everywhere.
Maybe one day they will break into the village and bring danger to the villagers!
Several surrounding brigades jointly applied to the Forestry Bureau, hoping to completely ban hunting and logging in the next two years.
Militia and forest police are also organized to patrol regularly to prevent poachers.
This means everyone’s income will be reduced.
Fortunately, there has been no task target for submitting prey in the past two years. If conditions did not allow it, even collecting medicinal herbs and picking mushrooms would be prohibited, and the mountains would be closed for reforestation.
To put it nicely, the brigade's surplus grain was purchased by the government, and to put it bluntly, it was used to support national construction. The brigade only saw grain being handed over, and nothing but fertilizer, let alone money.
People usually rely on selling eggs to make money to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar!
Every autumn, only those who sell mountain products and medicinal herbs can save some money, and everyone depends on this money for any need.
If this way of making money is cut off, life will become even more difficult for everyone.
After some consideration, they finally agreed to allow the villagers to continue going into the mountains to collect mountain products and dig medicinal herbs.
But they are not allowed to go to places like those educated youth used to pick pine cones and dig yams!
Secretary Wang gave the educated youth a special ideological study class to warn them not to run into the mountains.
They also emphasized not to run towards the pine forest, and the meaning was obvious.
In the blink of an eye, it is time to harvest.
The rice crop had a good start this year and was a bumper harvest. Compared with the heavy rice ears and the bustling crops on the fields in previous years, it was indeed a bumper harvest.
What I said to Lin Shaoyang at the beginning that I would bear my own profits and losses is no longer valid.
This year, the people from Team 4 were not asked to take care of the rice fields specifically. Everyone still worked wherever they were busy.
Secondly, the commune would drive trucks to the village and wait, and take the rice away as soon as it was threshed.
The report from the Agricultural Bureau and the newspaper press release have also been written, and we are just waiting for the production output to be reported to the higher authorities and published in the newspaper.
In all likelihood, not much of this season's harvest will be left for the village.
The harvest was also done with a reaper, and the thresher was also ready. Once the grain was threshed, it was blown by the windmill and then packed and loaded onto trucks by the commune without even drying it.
In the end, the commune took away more than two-thirds, but at least they left a portion for the brigade.
The team leader was crying poor, saying they had never eaten rice before and that this was their first year growing rice, so they at least wanted to leave everyone with a taste of rice. They finally managed to leave less than a third of the rice.
But it's not a small amount. The rice yield at this time is not high, but the soil is fertile and everyone takes good care of it, with an average yield of more than 400 kilograms per mu.
If we keep some seeds for the rest, each person can get about 100 kilograms of paddy, which is about 70 to 80 kilograms of rice.
The team leader was afraid of the long night and feared that something might happen. As soon as the rice was harvested, he divided it up and took it home to dry.
Each variety is given a certain amount of rice, including glutinous rice, long-grain rice, round-grain rice, etc., and an adult can get 125 kilograms of rice, which is more than 80 kilograms of rice.
The team was also rewarded with a rice mill. Before the rice was even dried, some people couldn't wait to grind the rice to eat.
The smell of rice filled the air throughout the brigade during those days. It was just the time for the autumn harvest, so everyone could replenish their bodies. The food everyone brought up the mountain to eat was all rice.
Within a few days, local and provincial newspapers were filled with news about flood control and the bumper rice harvest at the Shanshui Brigade's rice planting demonstration site.
Everyone thought that Lin Shaoyang was going to become famous, but when they looked at the newspaper, his name was not on the list at all. It was all proposed by the educated youth, and the organization and experts knew about it.
Even the two members their brigade invited from the south to provide guidance were nominated, but Lin Shaoyang alone was not nominated.
In places where there are educated youth, they combine the knowledge they have learned with their practical experience in rural areas to promote agricultural development.
Everyone was standing up for Lin Shaoyang, but he said lightly: "I'm not interested in farming. It's not my ambition. I don't want to be involved in agriculture for the rest of my life. Besides, I just made a suggestion and didn't contribute much. It's all the result of everyone's hard work."
Since he said so, there is nothing more to say.
But he didn't lie. He specifically asked that his name not be reported separately.
He didn't want to think about teaching there or reporting there. He was not interested in it and didn't want to waste more time on it.
The happiest people were the locals, and the Shanshui Brigade was everywhere in the newspapers.
Most of the photos above show people working, and their overjoyed expressions when they have a good harvest.
Those whose photos appeared in the newspaper were so happy that they were even happier than the rice they had been given. They quickly asked the educated youth to buy the newspaper home and even prepared a sumptuous meal to tell their ancestors.
Those who didn't have photos were unhappy and went straight to the team leaders to ask why they were working very hard but there were no photos of them.
This is not okay! This isn't just a photo, this is a newspaper story.
Although many of them don't know what is written on it.
So Secretary Wang patted his chest and guaranteed that now that their brigade was famous, there would definitely be reporters coming to interview them frequently. Next time a reporter came, he would arrange to take photos of them and publish them in the newspaper.
Everyone then stopped "pursuing the matter" and went home happily.
But just as Secretary Wang said, their brigade has really become famous, and people often come to the village for interviews and visits.
Secretary Wang also fulfilled his previous promise and let those who asked others to take photos take turns to appear in the newspaper.
However, there is a prerequisite, that is, you must be active in your work. The first people to be photographed are those who are usually active in their work.
Then an interesting phenomenon appeared in the team: the group of people who usually chatted and gossiped all day long actually worked harder than anyone else.
Even if they were carrying things, they would pick up horse and cow dung on the road and take it to the manure pit.
Everyone is tidying up and no longer quarreling. The two people who used to be like cross-eyed when they met, now act like real sisters when they meet!
Everyone was amazed by what they saw: Secretary Wang is really someone who has fought battles of wits and courage with this group of people, and he really has a way to deal with them.
Once it's in the newspaper, they start showing off and bragging about it to everyone they meet. When the autumn harvest is over, they take the newspaper to visit relatives to show off.
What’s even more amazing is that some people even went on blind dates with newspapers in hand, and the key point is that the blind dates were actually successful, and the reason was that the news was in the newspapers.
But these are all things for later.
