Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

"A guesthouse? A guesthouse, right? Great! Great! Great!! It even has provincial approval! Awesome! Really great!!"

Upon entering the village branch, Secretary Wang exclaimed "Good!" three times in a row!

Anyone can see that this is sarcasm.

Of course, this excludes those who pretend to be stupid.

"Look, Secretary Wang, I told you this comrade was good, wasn't he? He truly cares about the people, especially about this farmers' market; with all the policies being implemented..."

He spearheaded it all.

"Is the household responsibility system the same?" Secretary Wang slammed the documents heavily onto the ground.

Village Chief Huang, however, didn't seem to care and simply squatted down to pick them up.

They don't care about saving face at all.

In fact, he was already terrified at this point.

I have to squat down, my legs are trembling so much I can't stand up straight.

This is the top official of the municipal party committee; he had never seen such a high-ranking official before.

The most important one is still Zhao Kaishan, who used to be by Lu Weiguo's side.

He felt like his ancestors' graves were emitting auspicious smoke, and now when he goes to meetings in the commune, he can sit in the front row.

He's genuinely scared now that he has to go against Secretary Wang.

But I've already promised...

"Yes, and not only were the policies implemented, they also changed their approach. Because farmers' markets are so important, most people stop reading after seeing this part."

Actually, there were also problems with their implementation of the household responsibility system.

The secretary then took out the report.

The reports are submitted layer by layer, and only provincial-level units can reach the province.

The municipal party committee leaders couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

Even if he doesn't know, his secretary will.

"Excellent!! What a brilliant 'openly repair the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang' strategy!!"

"I'm innocent! I didn't steal anything! I'm innocent!!" Village Chief Huang could no longer stand up.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she plopped down on the ground, just like Shu Ruizhi, helplessly patting her thighs.

"Oh my god!"

Secretary Wang was stunned when he saw the performance.

This whole "fighting and tantrums" thing in Fendou Village must have been taught by the same person, right? How come everyone knows it?!

And those movements, those expressions!!

"Do you want to quit?!"

However, the difficulty is different for those who have jobs and those who don't.

"I want to do it! I want to do it!"

Village Chief Huang's face changed drastically, and he immediately stood up, leaning on the stool leg.

The slapping of his thigh wasn't to throw a tantrum, but to stop it from trembling. You thought he really wanted to throw a tantrum?

"You, the village chief, weren't you supposed to be receiving a cultural education? I didn't say you stole anything, but you've been doing all this behind my back!!"

Come on, take a look at the materials we've compiled. What's wrong? Who does this comrade named Lu Weiguo want to replace?

How can we pay the state's share, the collective's share, and then give him a share in the end?

"Is he like the government? Or even more powerful than you, the village chief?!"

"Sigh!" Village Chief Huang sighed upon hearing this.

coming!

finally come!

They had talked about it when Lu Weiguo was about to do this.

This matter is neither a big deal nor a small one.

But if no one investigates, then everything is fine.

The land in their village is in poor condition; the villagers are farmers who have been cultivating the land for many years.

If we don't provide fertilizer first like Lu Weiguo did, and then recoup the losses over several years...

So when the household responsibility system was implemented, based on the three-year contract signed in the first year, no one would actually take on the responsibility.

Some people may not understand why land that has been used to grow potatoes would be disliked.

Many people in later generations also grew potatoes, but there were no problems with the land.

of course.

The way potatoes were grown in this era was quite different from how they were grown in later generations.

In those days, especially in the late 1970s, a certain trend became increasingly popular.

That means as long as you're bold enough, making a fortune from a single acre is not a dream!

Of course, there are also sayings such as "a sow can give birth to a daughter".

Potatoes, as long as you plant them densely enough and they grow well enough, can yield thousands or even tens of thousands of kilograms.

None of that is a problem!!

However, its growth naturally requires the consumption of nutrients.

In those days, all the land belonged to the public, and even phone bills were paid by the public.

Farmers don't care, as they want to get more fertilizer next year.

The planting density far exceeded the standards of later generations.

But who would have thought that after a good harvest in the first year, the household responsibility system was implemented in the second year!

Take care of your own land.

Who would want land that's been ruined like that?

Fortunately, Lu Weiguo was willing to be the "sucker".

Doing so would naturally be against policy.

On a smaller scale, it could be labeled as capitalist.

To put it bluntly, just as Secretary Wang said, this person has a problem with his ideological awareness; he's trying to do something big!

"Why are you sighing?! Tell me! Explain what happened!"

"Secretary Wang, aren't we on a reform pilot program? We can trade freely now, and there's no requirement saying we can't do this."

"But there's no policy saying it's allowed!!"

"Whatever, how about we hold a big meeting right now and take the land back?"

Village Chief Huang seemed to be trying to shirk responsibility, but every word he said was actually protecting Lu Weiguo.

"Fine, fine, fine!! With this attitude, I think your time as village chief is over!! If you can't do it, there are plenty of others who can!!"

But this nascent capitalist revival must not be allowed to reignite on my turf!

Your territory!

Bah! You're the capitalist!

Village Chief Huang glanced behind the door and cursed Secretary Wang in his heart.

But what can he do?

Even a rank higher can be incredibly powerful, and this is a difference of seven or eight ranks. Even considering his rank, he's not even a minor section chief.

At most, he's a deputy section chief.

How could they dare to go against the municipal party committee officials?

soon.

A representative from each family in Fendou Village came to the village branch.

However, this time most of the attendees were women.

All the men in the family are busy at the farmers' market.

Secretary Wang trembled whenever he saw the women of Fendou Village.

However, he believed that his ideas were correct, that he stood with the people, and that he was determined to crack down on any signs of a capitalist resurgence.

The secretary, holding a megaphone, delivered a long, rambling speech.

However, the women didn't understand at all.

Young people like Li Huifang have to explain to the older people around them what he means.

But we can wait until Secretary Wang takes office.

To reveal what Lu Weiguo did.

Then, the contract to receive fertilizer from Lu Weiguo and to hand over grain in proportion was cancelled.

It only lasted a moment.

Dozens of wails echoed throughout the village!

Shu Ruizhi alone was giving him a headache.

Suddenly, almost all the women in the village sat on the ground and started throwing a tantrum.

Secretary Wang was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a thud.

"Oh dear! The government is making a living off us! They're lying! They're trying to trick us into giving them land!"

"Exactly, is this something a human being could do?! Liars, you're all liars, you just tricked us into signing that lousy land."

"I'm going to sue you! If the county doesn't work, I'll go to the city; if the city doesn't work, I'll go to the province. I refuse to believe there's no place to seek justice!!"

Of course, the last sentence was shouted by Li Xiulian, but it was all taught to her by Lu Weiguo just now.
