1983: From Land Sharing to Household Ownership

"The younger generation, Thirteenth Sister has always been the backbone of our group of good sisters, and what she said represents what we say."

Another middle-aged woman said immediately.

Thirteen sisters are sloppy, fiery, and helpful, and have a high prestige in Hongyan Village.

It's normal operation.

Even those bad gamblers in the village didn't dare to yell at Thirteenth Sister.

Therefore, since the Thirteenth Sister has made a decision, everyone will agree.

"Um."

Wang Qiang nodded noncommittally, "According to what this thirteenth aunt said, your Hongyan Village has more than a dozen households with Maling melon seeds and melon seedlings, and each household has about the same number of seeds and melon seedlings. Bar?"

"That's right! When the fields were distributed to each household last year, there were only a dozen villagers who were willing to continue to plant Maling melon. The village committee distributed all the Maling melon seeds to the dozen or so households."

"Each household is a small bag of about 30 catties of seeds. This year, everyone used a third of the seedlings first, so as not to suffer from floods and all go to waste."

"Young family, you don't know that Malingua has a very long planting period, right?"

The middle-aged woman named Thirteen grabbed the conversation and said, "The entire May of the Gregorian calendar is suitable for the cultivation of Malingua, and the harvest period is in August each year."

"And the floods in our tea city are basically every year, and most of them are concentrated in May and June."

"So, Malingua must be planted in slightly higher fields or mountains, and it must be ensured that it will not be affected by drought and floods."

"If the conditions are not enough, like our Hongyan Village, it is like a small basin, and the back is full of stone mountains, and the fields and mountains with high terrain are not suitable for planting Malinggua, then it has to be in the whole May. Planted in batches."

"In case of a flood, all the seeds will be soaked in soup, then there will be no more maling melon seeds to germinate and plant."

After Thirteenth Sister explained it, she finally said, "Little Housheng, I'll put my words here, all the seeds and melon seedlings owned by a household cost ten yuan, and there is no price negotiation!"

"If it works, I'll ask everyone to bring you the seeds and melon seedlings. If it doesn't work, there's nothing else to say. You have to go to other places to buy it for nothing."

The dozen or so villagers with Maling melon seeds are all concentrated on a piece of land to raise seedlings and germinate, so it is very convenient to complete the transaction.

Having said that, a family of ten yuan is really a lot.

Anyway, these people, this year's Malingua has not been officially planted at all, which means that each family picked up ten yuan for nothing.

Today, some of the villagers in the village do not even have ten yuan in their savings.

Because of the particularity of Malingua, the planting, harvesting, and sales of Malingua cost most of the labor, and the seeds are worthless.

"This……"

Wang Qiang pretended to hesitate for a moment, and Fang Zi said, "Okay. Anyway, since we came to your Hongyan Village, we don't want to go to other places to see."

He raised his voice, "Then, I'll wait here, you guys can stay here alone, and the others can get the seeds and seedlings of Malinggua as soon as possible, and trade them in cash."

"However, Aunt Thirteen, don't give me sloppy eyes. The premise of clearing money and goods is: don't play tricks, seeds and melon seedlings are as many as they should be!"

"How can it be!" Aunt Thirteen said loudly, "Since our village will no longer grow Malingua in the future, keeping these seeds will not spoil!"

"You young family, please be careful! If we don't give you all of it, we have to deal with the destruction. What a hassle!"

"Okay!"

She started talking to Wang Qiang in a hurry, then turned around and gave the order to the old woman and two sisters beside her, "Third Auntie, go back and notify Cuiqun and tell her to take the small bag of horses at home first. Bring me the seeds of Linggua."

"The two of you are the same, first go home and bring the seeds, and then notify the other dozen or so households to hurry up and bring the seeds."

"When everyone is here, let's go to the field together, pick up the seeds that have just sprout, put them in two big baskets, and bring them over."

"Okay, Thirteen, I'll go back first." The old woman nodded again and again, turned around and left with the vegetable basket.

"Well, we'll be back soon too."

"The seeds that just sprout are easy to clean up. Put some straw in the big basket, put them into two big baskets together, and just pick them up."

The other two women, also with happy faces, turned around in a hurry, walked away with a wooden tub full of clothes in their hands.

"The young family, I don't think you have brought big baskets to hold the seeds that sprout, you see..."

This woman who didn't want to eat at all, said this, Wang Qiang was speechless: Nima's, two big baskets, which family has no extra?

Besides, it's not worth the money!

"Uh……"

He also didn't want to bother with the other party so much, "Okay, a pair of big baskets, I'll give you one yuan! Is this all right?"

"one dollar?"

Aunt Thirteen's eyes lit up, "Okay! That's it! When they come, I'll go home and pick up a large empty basket and some dry straw, so that I won't hurt those who just sprout. melon seedlings."

For one yuan, you can go to the market to buy a pair of new big baskets.

This kind of good thing, of course, has to be one's own.

"Lady, where are you from the city..."

After getting a benefit, the woman named Thirteen chatted with Wang Qiang with great interest.

"We are a unit in the city..."

Wang Qiang quietly made a color at the girls, and started talking nonsense.

Before going out today, he warned a few girls not to talk to strangers, so now he is talking nonsense and won't reveal any details about himself.

Wanjun and the other four girls laughed secretly and endured a little hard.

In less than five minutes, the old woman Wang Qiang first contacted in Hongyan Village came with a woman in her thirties.

In the woman's hand, she was also carrying a bag of seeds weighing about 20 kilograms.

Wang Qiang stepped forward to check and found that it was the black and big maling melon seeds.

The seeds are well protected, and the bag is wrapped in a nylon paper, which will not cause mold or premature germination due to moisture.

Malinggua seeds have extremely distinctive characteristics and can be said to be unique. Anyone who has seen them will know it at a glance.

Immediately afterwards, another woman came in twos and threes, and basically everyone was carrying a small bag of seeds in their hands.

Of course, Wang Qiang had to check this kind of precious seed before he could rest assured.

The current villagers don't pay attention to the seeds of Malinggua, but Wang Qiang is very precious.

Without it, this Malingua is so delicious.

In terms of taste, it is absolutely delicious.

"Aqun, Aping, the two of you are here to accompany this descendant family, I will go home and pick up a big basket, and by the way, get some hay, and then the others will go to the field with me, and take those who have just sprout out. Maling melon seeds, pick them up again, put them in a big basket and bring them here."

"Then, everyone can check out and go home."

Aunt Thirteen gave a loud command, turned around and took a group of women and hurriedly left.

The two women she specially explained to stay behind are the two most decisive.

This kind of silent operation is naturally to ensure the smooth progress of the transaction between the two parties, and there will be no twists and turns.

Wang Qiang was wary of her, and she was wary of Wang Qiang as well.

This is also normal, human nature.

After all, no one can rely on one side's words to talk to the other party.

About half an hour later, Aunt Thirteen returned with a quick step, carrying a large basket with thick dry straw and the women who had left earlier.

"Yes, Not Bad."

When the other party just put down a pair of big baskets, Wang Qiang stepped forward to check.

It was found that the dark seeds inside, only a little new sprout emerged, which is the best time for the germination to be completed and it can be directly planted in the ground.

Without saying a word, he took out a stack of money, and ordered seventeen pieces of great unity, added a piece of loose money, and handed it to Aunt Thirteen.

"Aunt Thirteen, you have a total of seventeen bags of seeds here, so there are seventeen households. Ten yuan for each household is one hundred and seventy yuan, plus a basket of money, you can count."

"Good! This is good!"

Aunt Thirteen was so happy that her face bloomed with a smile, and she took the money with both hands in a hurry, first counting it carefully, and then identifying it one by one.

Although there are not many fake money now, there are also a lot of them, and it is necessary to distinguish them carefully.

Ten yuan is a huge sum of money for most of the people in the village, enough to solve the problem of tuition fees for a few children in the family for half a year.

There is no room for sloppiness.

A few smarter women on the side also gathered around and checked the money that Thirteen had checked again in turn.

"Young family, you are this! You are so young, and you are doing things in a big way!"

After everyone checked the money, Aunt Thirteen distributed the money to the women present on the spot.

In the end, she carefully put the eleven dollars that belonged to her in her pocket, and then gave Wang Qiang a thumbs up in relief.

She has reason to be proud.

After all, these Malingua seeds, which would have been quickly disposed of and destroyed, have now been exchanged for a large sum of money.

This not only greatly increased her prestige in the village, but also benefited her.

Therefore, she was in a very good mood, and she praised Wang Qiang with joy.
