A professor's rebirth: I entered Tsinghua University in 1977.

Liu Chuan is a man of decisive character who does what he says.

Soon, someone was arranged to bring back fifty pairs of breeding rabbits and several loads of fish fry, as well as a lot of mushroom strains.

Seeing these things, Xiao Yawen suddenly felt a little scared and said in a low voice: "Old Liu, will this cause any trouble?"

Raising so many rabbits and fish, and growing mushrooms, isn't that a violation of regulations?

Being punished might be the least of their worries; they could even lose their job.

Liu Chuan waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's all collective property. I'm not taking it home. What big deal could it cause? Our farm is an agricultural production unit."

The policies of higher authorities regarding farms have changed somewhat, but one basic principle remains unchanged: farms must engage in agricultural production, be self-reliant, and support themselves.

Given the special circumstances of the farm, many people have indeed been out of the field for a long time, and their production skills are incomparable to those of regular farmers, so their output is naturally much lower than that of normal rural production.

Therefore, after the national situation improved slightly, the authorities would allocate a portion of living supplies to the farm monthly, mainly grain, but also oil, salt, pickles, and a small amount of non-staple foods, to ensure the farm's basic survival conditions.

As for personal necessities, such as toothpaste, soap, clothes, etc., they are given very little, and you mainly have to rely on yourself to solve the problem.

Basic living expenses will still be provided on the farm.

Xiao Yawen felt a little relieved after hearing this, but still said worriedly, "But according to what Hongyi said, won't there be too many rabbits in the end?"

Liu Hongyi's initial plan was to ensure that everyone on the farm, whether cadres, workers, or trainees, could eat a rabbit every five days and fish every three days to meet their basic nutritional needs.

The entire Yanggou Farm has several hundred people.

If the supply is at this rate, wouldn't the fields be full of fish and the mountains and plains be full of rabbits?

Whenever Xiao Yawen thought about the situation, he felt that it was unreliable and that his superiors would definitely intervene.

Liu Chuan sneered: "How dare Kang Jisheng!"

The photo is in hand, Ji Sheng has it!

Liu Hongyi chimed in, "The region isn't solely under Kang Jisheng's control... We still need to be careful about what we should be aware of."

"It's just..."

Xiao Yawen echoed repeatedly.

Liu Chuan couldn't help but look at his son in surprise. Wasn't this the idea you came up with?

Now you want to back out?

Liu Hongyi smiled and said, "Dad, this is what I think. In this kind of situation, we can't take all the benefits, so as to avoid making others jealous."

Conjunctivitis is something that people will get.

"Then what do you mean?"

Liu Hongyi said, "We can eat the rabbit meat, but we can hand over the rabbit skins. We also have to hand over a portion of the rabbits, consider it as paying public grain. You just said that the farm is also a production unit."

Although rabbit fur is not considered a good fur product, it is a means of production after all and can be sold for money.

The profits from Yangou Farm were handed over to the regional agricultural leadership group.

Xiao Yawen immediately said, "Yes, yes, Hongyi's suggestion is good. We should hand some of it over. That way they won't have anything to say."

Liu Chuan thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. I'm thinking that once our experiment is successful, we can promote it throughout the region."

This is the thinking of the person in charge of the agricultural work leading group. He always thinks about how to make the agricultural work in the entire region strive to be the best.

Liu Hongyi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Dad, you shouldn't meddle in things that aren't in your position. You're just the director of Yanggou Farm now, only in charge of this small area of ​​the cadre school. Other work should be someone else's responsibility."

"If we want to promote it, that should be decided by the regional leaders. We won't interfere. It will just make people jealous."

"That's right, Old Liu, look at you. You're in your forties, but you're not as thoughtful as your son. You're always impulsive!"

Liu Chuan glared at her and snorted, "Am I impulsive? I am serious and responsible about my revolutionary work!"

Xiao Yawen smiled and said, "Yes, yes, be serious and responsible!"

After being married for nearly twenty years, doesn’t Xiao Yawen understand her husband’s character?

As long as he could listen to his son's advice, Xiao Yawen would not argue with him.

Liu Chuan said this, but he was extremely surprised in his heart. His son's performance was really beyond his expectations. This was not the thinking of a teenager. Liu Chuan felt that his colleagues were far less thoughtful and meticulous than Liu Hongyi in considering issues.

"Hongyi, how did you come up with these things?"

Liu Hongyi smiled and said, "It's simple. Kang Hongmei taught me."

"Kang Hongmei?"

Now Liu Chuan and Xiao Yawen both opened their eyes wide.

How did you get involved with her?

"Think about it, why did Kang Hongmei bully Ai Xiaoyu? Isn't it just out of jealousy? Everyone gets red eye."

Although this reason sounds far-fetched, it makes sense if you think about it carefully.

Note 1: In the 70s, local and military ranks corresponded to each other. There were 23 administrative levels. The highest level (salary 579.5 yuan)—as far as I can remember, it seems only Mrs. Sun enjoyed this privilege. Everyone else started at Level 3 (Marshal's rank). Locally, there were provincial-military level (provincial and ministerial level), prefectural-division level (bureau-level), and county-regiment level (county-division level). Battalion level corresponded to township-section level, company level corresponded to section level, and platoon level was the entry-level cadre level, corresponding to ordinary clerks in the local government (platoon leaders in the military earned 52 yuan, while local clerks earned slightly less). A promotion in the military meant moving from enlisted soldier to platoon leader. For a time, there was even the position of deputy platoon leader, which was also considered a cadre.

The corps level is a special case, roughly corresponding to the deputy position of a major military region.

In the 70s, the three headquarters of the army were the General Staff and the General Political Department at the vice-state level, and the General Logistics Department and each service at the military region level.
