Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

In this year's autumn harvest, although Changshui Farm managed to harvest everything it should have, it still suffered a severe loss of production.

A lot of wheat is moldy and some are not mature enough.

The same goes for soybeans.

At the autumn harvest summary meeting on October 15th, both Han Jianhua and Li Zhenguo made profound summaries.

Gather materials and report to the farm.

At the meeting, Han Jianhua focused on praising the rescue teams who have been fighting on the front line, and of course Lu Changhua.

Next, Lu Changhua attended the farm’s commendation meeting.

He returned to the three-point court with the certificate of merit.

In the Great Northern Wilderness at the end of October, there will be frost in the morning and evening, and freezing in the latter half of the night.

On this day, the company's loudspeaker suddenly issued a notice requiring all members to hold a meeting.

Each family must have at least one representative.

When Lu Changhua came to the conference room, he was surprised by the popularity here.

The conference room of more than 200 square meters was packed to the rafters.

The sound is as noisy as a wet market.

Everyone in the cafeteria arrived. Lao Lu and Han Ying were sitting in the last row. Seeing Lu Changhua come in, Han Ying stood up and waved desperately.

Seeing that his father was there, Lu Changhua squeezed over.

"Come, sit here, I've got a seat for you."

Han Ying pulled him to sit down with a happy face.

In the past few months, their cafeteria has also been very tired, especially during the autumn harvest. Don't even think about delivering meals every day. There are hundreds of people in various departments.

Taking turns coming to the canteen to eat, Lu Zaigao, as the administrator and chef, was so busy that he hit the back of his head with his feet.

Waiters like Han Ying are too busy helping the cooks and are busy in the cafeteria all day long. They haven't seen each other for several months, so it's no wonder that Han Ying

As soon as they met, Ying forgot about propriety and took Lu Changhua's arm and kept talking.

Lu Changhua was so embarrassed that he secretly glanced at his father. Lu Zaigao turned his face away and whispered to the others without even looking at him.

Lu Changhua vaguely took Han Ying's hand away, coughed, and looked ahead seriously.

Only then did Han Ying react, her face turned red, she turned around and pulled her sister to whisper, and from time to time she let out a silver bell-like laugh.

Han Jianhua, Li Zhenguo and others were sitting on the rostrum in front, and the electrician had already adjusted the microphone.

It’s almost time to meet the people.

Han Jianhua took the microphone and patted it twice.

The indoor speaker made a "puff" sound.

The people below all stopped talking and looked forward.

"Oh, comrades, it is very important to convene everyone for this meeting today. This involves the vital interests of every household."

After Han Jianhua finished speaking, he stared down, paused briefly, and continued: "The state has policies, and our farm has also issued detailed documents. I will convey them below."

"Notice on the establishment of a family farm for employees in Changshui Farm..."

The employees and family members below listened to this explosive news with stunned eyes.

They still don't know the importance of this document.

This is an important step towards breaking away from tradition and transforming the farming system.

After Han Jianhua finished reading the document, someone started asking questions.

Some people don't understand what a family farm is, some ask whether this policy will change, and some ask whether other than land contracts can be contracted.

The scene was a mess.

Han Jianhua answered them all one by one. If he couldn't answer any questions, he wrote down the questions and prepared to report them to the farm.

This meeting was like a big stone dropped on the calm water, causing waves.

Family farms are not simply contracting, but a package of projects that combine land, agricultural machinery, etc.

Small farms based on family units should be formed within the farm.

A family farm must not only have land, but also agricultural machinery.

Other types of jobs that provide these services can also be added.

This is the first attempt in history. From the farm bureau to the management bureau to the farm, no one has done it before. They all have to cross the river by feeling the stones. The important thing is to do it first and then say whether it is right or not, and then slowly adjust it later.

At the end of 1984, an unprecedented campaign to open employee family farms was launched across the Black Province.

By this time, everyone was aroused to start a business.

Some people began to borrow money from everywhere, contracting hundreds of acres of land, and prepared to become specialized grain households. Some people joined forces with several families, and had land, tractors, and combine harvesters, forming a family farm that was small but well-equipped.

Some people have set out independently to provide services specifically for these family farms, such as Lao Pan’s fitter house.

The carpentry workshop, welding workshop, and lathe workshop also followed the same pattern and were all contracted.

Even the water room at the branch site needs to be contracted.

As for Lao Lu, some people are trying to get him to contract the canteen.

Lao Lu was very hesitant.

After the contract is contracted, whether anyone will come to eat is also a problem.

In his previous life, Lao Lu did not contract a canteen because he established a family farm and the company no longer provided meals. It was equivalent to being laid off early.

Later, Lao Lu raised his own money to open a small restaurant, and the employees ate it, but it was all on credit, and the money would not be paid until the end of the year. How could he have so much money in advance? He would not be able to continue working.

At that time, Lu Changhua didn't understand why his father didn't contract the canteen, but now he understands.

There are seven or eight employees in the canteen. If you contract the canteen, how will these people be accommodated?

Should we continue to stay or should we let them go? The cost of staying is too high and we may lose money. Let them go? This will offend people.

Dad had no choice but not to contract the canteen.

The cafeteria was naturally disbanded, and this was no longer Lao Lu's responsibility.

If you don't have enough financial resources to open a restaurant on a farm, you really won't be able to sustain it.

Regardless of whether you open it at a branch office or go to the branch office, it's all on credit.

Whether it's an individual dinner or a corporate dinner, it's the same, the bill is settled at the end of the year.

Some units owe you two or three years at a time. If the leader changes, you have to decide whether you can get your meal money back.

Therefore, there is no future for opening a restaurant on a farm.

If you want to open a restaurant, you have to go to the county town. At least there is no credit for opening a restaurant in the county town.

However, the canteen is still there now, and it will not be disbanded until at least 1985.

What Lu Changhua has to worry about now is the contracting of the reservoir.

After the meeting, Lao Lu went home with his son.

Along the way, Lao Lu didn't say anything. He must be feeling very disappointed now.

There are so many people coming and going on the road, it is not convenient to talk.

After returning home, Lu Changhua poured a glass of water for his father, and then said: "Dad, the situation on the farm has changed now, and you have to make plans early."

"No one can tell whether the current policy will change, so we'll have to wait and see."

This is how many old people view reforms. They all believe that policies will not be stable and may change at some point.

Lu Changhua said: "Dad, now everyone is running a family farm. In fact, I am working alone. My job has also become obsolete. No one pays me wages, so I have to find my own way."

Lao Lu sighed, looked at his son and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

"I want to contract the reservoir?"

"Reservoir? Fish farming?"

"Well, fish farming."

"Is that possible? Can you raise fish?"

Lu Changhua took out his green book, flipped it over for his father, and said, "Dad, I've been reading it for a while, and I think it can work."

"Can Director Han agree to such a big reservoir?"

"Dad, as long as you agree."

“Where do the contracting fees come from?”

"The money from selling the fish should be used to pay the contracting fee!"

"Pay at the end of the year?"

"Yeah. Besides, to put it another way, if you really lose money, I will use the bonus to pay it."

"oh."

Only then did Lao Lu remember that his son still had a bonus.

"Okay, as long as you can take over the contract, it's up to you. But you have to work hard, you can't fish for three days and dry the nets for two days."

"Don't worry about that!"

In Han Jianhua's office.

"Director, I want to contract the reservoir."

Lu Changhua sat opposite and said seriously.

As a popular and professional good young man, Lao Han had a very good impression of Xiao Lu.

"What? Contracting the reservoir?"

Han Jianhua looked at Lu Changhua seriously and asked, "Are you kidding?"

"Director, how can you joke about this kind of thing? I really want to take over the contract."

"Well, you should have thought about this."

Han Jianhua whispered: "I'm afraid there have been floods in the past two years. Can the reservoir support fish? Didn't they all run away when the flood came?!"

Han Jianhua is sincerely good for Xiao Lu.

"Director, I'm prepared for this, as long as you let me take over the job."

"Then how much do you pay for the contracting fee?!"

Lao Han asked half seriously and half jokingly.

"Well, I don't know either. I'm just trying to figure it out right now and I don't have much experience. Director, what do you think is suitable? If you can, just take care of me!"

"I'll take care of you."

He pondered for a moment and then said: "Then it's agreed that the fish raised must be supplied to the canteen first."

"No problem, it will definitely be the canteen."

"That's it, sign the contract according to the rules. You sign it and return to the field department to get it stamped."

"Contract for three years, and the contract fee will be settled at the end of the year. It will be based on your salary."

Lao Han really took care of him. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to pay the contracting fee, so he calculated it based on Lu Changhua's salary for one year.

"Let's put together a total of 500 yuan so that I can explain it to the farm."

"If you kid can't even earn your own salary, then stop doing it."

"Don't worry, director, I will succeed."

In this way, Lu Changhua signed the contract, and Han Jianhua signed and sealed it in triplicate on behalf of the farm.

This contract needs to be returned to the field department. After the contract is stamped, one copy will be kept in the field department, one copy will be kept in the company, and one copy will be given to Lu Changhua.

As soon as Lu Changhua completed the formalities, someone came to see Han Jianhua.

"Director Han, I want to contract the reservoir."

"What? You also want to contract the reservoir?"

Old Han looked at the man in front of him, why is the reservoir so popular? He pondered in his mind.

"The contracting fee is easy to negotiate."

"How much can you give?"

"1000, how about it?"

hiss!

Han Jianhua took a breath.

Lu Changhua was listening outside the door. The wheels of history were rolling forward, and what was supposed to happen still happened.

"Director, when will the contract be sent to the field department?"

Lu Changhua walked in.

As soon as Lao Han saw Lu Changhua come in, he knew that their conversation had been overheard by this guy. He came in to remind himself that the contract had been signed and could not be ignored.

"Haha, Xiao Lu, are you worried?"

Han Jianhua looked at Lu Changhua with a playful expression.

"The director keeps his word, so I'm not worried! Then I'll go clean the reservoir."

Lu Changhua nodded and smiled at the man, turned around and left.

Han Jianhua said helplessly to the man: "Look, Xiao Lu has signed the contract, there is nothing we can do."

"Here! I'll add money!"

"You are less than, this is not a question of money. It is obvious to all that Xiao Lu works in the rescue team, and he is managing the reservoir. If he wants to contract, can I not agree? Besides, the contract has already been signed!"

"Let's talk about it when we have the chance in the future."

After walking out of Han Jianhua's office, Lu Changhua was sweating. If he hesitated for a few more hours, he was afraid that the reservoir would slip away from his hands.

It's fine now, the dust has finally settled, it's up to you what you do!
