Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home - Chapter 287 One month later

Maybe it’s been a few years of famine, but God can’t bear it. This year is really going well. The water level of the reservoir has also risen. As long as enough water is stored, even if drought starts again in two months, it will basically not have any impact in a geographical environment like Ngee Ann. In other areas where there are not many mountains and forests, soil erosion will be rapid. , if there continues to be no rain, food will still be affected, but it is unlikely that there will be a harvest failure like before.

Many people with farming experience feel that this year’s market will be good, but the real relief from the famine will only come from the harvest around July.

It is obviously the time to grow food, and spring has arrived. But the famine seems to have reached its final craziness. It has lasted for three years. In the first two years, there were still some stocks in various places to provide relief. Last year, villagers in rural areas were unable to borrow grain from the brigade in many places. The grain they distributed lasted through the winter and was completely gone.

Working in the fields is inherently physically demanding, and since there is no food to sustain them, many villagers are so hungry that they have begun to grow food secretly.

In Ngee Ann, the most abundant place for food now is still the grain factory, but the grain factory no longer has the ability to regulate its own grain. Everything has been allocated. If the reserve food is used, there will be problems with the city’s food rations. Therefore, even if many units come to ask for help, the grain station will not let go at all.

Therefore, the automobile factory has actually become the place where the most food can be freely mobilized.

The country that is not used to the brand of Demasi vans should give them away or export them. Anyway, the automobile factory can get 4% of the payment for each van produced.

Including forklifts, a lot of tonnage has been produced, and the overall average selling price has also increased. Let’s put it this way, public grain is handed over at different levels. First, the grain is handed over from the village, then the grain is transferred to the county, the grain from the county is then transferred to the urban area, the urban area is transferred to the province, and finally to the national grain depot.

The exported products are directly exchanged for a lot of grain, and the grain goes directly into the national granary. In order to reduce trouble, the automobile factory directly receives the approval slip and goes to the city to collect the grain. The amount received will be reduced by Ngee Ann City. The current situation is that it is not enough that the spare grains that Nghe An wants to hand over have been taken away by the automobile factory, and they have to ask the provinces and regions for them.

The price of a van is high, but the cost is actually lower than that of a forklift. Forklifts consume more steel and have a simpler internal structure. Luo Cheng controlled the increase in forklift production and let technicians go all out to produce vans. Each one costs 68,000 yuan. If one is sold, Luo Cheng can get about eight tons of grain.

If we sell dozens of vehicles a month, that’s a few hundred tons. Including the export of forklifts, there are several hundred tons. If we really divide the grain according to the number of workers in the automobile factory, one person can divide it on average two hundred catties. The ration for one person is only less than 30 kilograms, and it cannot be all rice.

But now, it only takes six kilograms of food to relieve one person in a month. Two taels of grain a day can save a person’s life. You must know that the standard salary for workers is six taels for men and four taels for women. Two ounces of grain, boiled thinly, won’t make you full, but you won’t starve to death.

Secretary Jiang wants to borrow grain and return it to the automobile factory when the grain is harvested in July. Not only will it be borrowed this time, but it will be borrowed in the next few months, and the following counties and districts will need assistance. If hundreds of tons are dispersed, it will be in a state of relief at best. In addition, people from other cities who fled the famine last year must also be sent back, and some food rations must be arranged.

If you live in the 1980s and 1990s, you will often find that you sometimes see a lot of people begging for food, but after a while they all seem to suddenly disappear. They were all repatriated by the local government. As for the later ones, as the reform and opening up matured, rural people also boldly went to work outside the city. The beggars who appeared again were basically professional beggars.

It’s just a loan of food, not all of it. If Secretary Jiang dares not to pay it back, Luo Cheng will dare to take the workers to make trouble. Nowadays, workers are very good. As long as someone takes the lead and it is related to their own interests, they will immediately surround you with wrenches and hammers for work.

But it cannot be borrowed in vain, in order to prevent a large number of workers from entering the industrial zone after it is established. Longjin Town is in short supply of vegetables and breeding, and Luo Cheng wants a planting and breeding base belonging to an automobile factory. It would be best to plant fruits on a few more hills.

Now the system has signed in some fruits, which are really precious, but in fact Ngee Ann is suitable for growing many fruits, such as strawberries, oranges, watermelons, grapes, apples and grapefruits, etc.

But now everyone is always in the same rhythm, opening up wasteland to grow food, and the fruits that can be eaten are basically from the cities along the coast. The local ones are basically wild fruits.

The industrial area is originally a suburb, and it is not easy to acquire land in the suburbs. However, the land scale that Luo Chengyi asked for when he asked for it was too large, and the hills were directly connected to each other. This is actually a small problem. There is not much else in Ngee Ann. , there are many hills. What is really lacking is land for planting, but Luo Cheng is not used to grow food, but to grow vegetables and fruits, such as watermelons and strawberries.

In this day and age, I’m afraid many people in Ngee Ann have never seen strawberries. It is a variety introduced from abroad. The current varieties are not very good. They were introduced from Moscow. They are only grown in a few cities and the scale is not large.

But coincidentally, in addition to several big cities, there are also some in SH City, which can be planted here in Ngee Ann. Now there is no need for greenhouses in this season, and the land requirements are not high. The land that has just been reclaimed can be planted.

And land reclamation is also very simple. There are many people escaping from famine. They all come to reclaim land. They are not given any money, but are given two kilograms of rice and three kilograms of noodles a day. Let them save some food in addition to the food they eat, so that when they go back and have no money or care, at least they have food to eat.

When Secretary Jiang heard this, he thought this was a good thing. If he could work in the wasteland and mountains over the industrial zone and earn food, it would be better than the simple charity in their place. Unfortunately, there are not many people who want it, and this life cannot last long.

In fact, Luo Cheng can still leave this matter to the cooperative, but the scale and manpower of Longjin Town alone are not enough. Although rural economic cooperatives can also be developed in other towns and villages, Luo Cheng feels that it is not necessary. The original purpose of doing this was to help relatives in the town. There is no need to expand to other places outside the town.

Moreover, people in the town can only use the cleared land to grow vegetables, and they still have to do farm work. At present, there is no problem in providing the vegetables needed by the automobile factory. If there are too many, it will not be possible without specially sending people to manage them.

Regarding planting and breeding, Luo Cheng only needs to put forward his own needs. Just hand it over to the Agricultural University and let them use it as a planting and breeding base. Not only did it expand the practicality of the school, but it also allowed Luo Cheng to ask someone from the university to give him advice for free with just a small subsidy.

Just as Luo Cheng thought, after a large amount of grain was taken away from the automobile factory, the land was allocated. Luo Cheng immediately took people to the Agricultural University and explained the purpose of his visit. He wanted to plant strawberries, a fruit introduced by BJ in the past. SH City can get seeds and has planting techniques. If the school is willing to help, it can send students there to study for a few days and bring back the seeds. They can plant whatever they want. They just need to direct and ensure that as many people as they want will come to help.

Moreover, students can work in planting projects. Those who are willing to work in the automobile factory will be assigned positions. Those who are not willing will be given wage subsidies as regular workers.

Not only strawberries, but also vegetables and fruits, as long as they can handle it, the automobile factory is willing to cooperate. There was no way, Luo Cheng gave too much, and the local agricultural university succumbed.

Just like this, just mess around for a while, and a month will pass quickly.

Over in the industrial park, more than a dozen factories are under construction at the same time, and the roads are also being repaired.

There are no more beggars in Ngee Ann City. No matter how old you are, as long as you have good hands and feet, you will be forced to work in the plantation base. You can either choose to go back to your hometown, and the place will give you food for ten days. No one wants this beggar in the countryside. Rural people themselves have to work hard to open up wasteland to plant more land to ensure that they can harvest more food. It is impossible to accept outsiders at will. Accepting outsiders means that this year’s food distribution Everyone should take one less bite.

In cities, it affects the image of the city and clearly makes local efforts to solve various life problems of urban residents. But there are so many beggars, and uninformed people can only beg because of the poor life of people in the city. How can they seriously think about whether these people are natives of Nghe An.

So it is really mandatory to work, and you are given food for working, and it is not based on Luo Cheng, and someone keeps track of work points. Ten kilograms of rice and three kilograms of whole grains are what Luo Cheng said. But if he is old and weak, he will not be able to remember ten points, and he can only distribute food according to the score proportion.

In this month, tractors and buses were also produced by the automobile factory. The front structure of the tractor is the same as that of the truck. It is just that the positions of some parts of the rear vehicle and the use of bearings have been changed. It is really not difficult. Moreover, Luo Cheng also provided guidance on the difficult part. The main part of this tractor is actually the part connected to the rear compartment. It is necessary to ensure that after the connection is installed, it must be safe and flexible, so that the front of the car does not turn and the back of the car is thrown out.

The basic structure of a bus, also called a shuttle bus, is the chassis structure of a truck, but the body shape is different. With the shape and drawing proportions provided by Luo Cheng, it can be reasonably matched to the truck’s chassis.

In addition, the earliest truck has completed the testing requirements and traveled more than 20,000 kilometers with the cargo without any problems. It has also started to be put into production, and because Luo Cheng brought the structural drawings of the diesel engine, plus some parts are similar to car engines. So the production of diesel engines also came online.

The engines of large trucks are purchased marine engines. Now that automobile factories have started producing trucks, they can directly use engines produced in their own factories. Even forklift engines are gradually being purchased less. Because forklifts with different fork strengths have different engine horsepower and sizes, their structures are similar. However, the newly built production line of the automobile factory cannot yet launch various types of diesel engines at the same time unless additional production lines are added. Therefore, the procurement cannot be canceled at once. The equipment must be purchased slowly and all of them produced by ourselves.

During this month, technical personnel from the 617 Factory also came to work here. More than 30 people came and were managed by Director Zhao. Gear production equipment was also transported.

“Brother, my sister-in-law is back.”

“Why do you see your sister-in-law every day? Why can’t you tell me if you have anything?”

“It’s useless to tell you. My sister-in-law is working on a movie. There are no movies in the cinema tomorrow. We want to go there with my sister-in-law.”

“After Sissi becomes your sister-in-law, you no longer see me as a brother in your eyes. I am a sister-in-law every day. Isn’t it comfortable to stay at home during the holidays? It’s a suburb over there, what’s so fun about it.”

“We are going to film a movie. My sister-in-law said that we can play a role if we want. We can also have a big pot of rice there at noon.”

“Go and boil water. She can come back early one day. Even if she drives a three-wheeler, it will take about half an hour from the suburbs to her home.”

Shishi and Xiaoyu responded, then they didn’t know what they thought of, and went to the kitchen to get busy with a smile.

Luo Cheng looked at his two sisters, a little speechless. Since the last time Sissi helped Shishi, she was given food without service. Luo Cheng could no longer take care of this family, and his majesty was suddenly reduced.

Dai Qianqian is a more assertive person. If Xiao Yu and the others have something to discuss with Qian Qian, if she thinks it’s okay, she will just let them do it. At most, she can talk to Luo Cheng afterwards. If the conditions at home are okay, I can eat noodles if I want to eat noodles, and eat dumplings if I want to eat dumplings.

Dai Qianqian took out the tickets that Luo Cheng had deposited in the room. In fact, when Sissi didn’t come, the family had been eating well, but sometimes Luo Cheng didn’t get meat and flour with tickets, some got it through the system, and some were really ‘given’ by the flour mill. of.

So Luo Cheng can save the bills, otherwise Luo Cheng’s family would eat like this, and the family would only have two rations. Others rely on the benefits provided by the factory to support themselves, and their daily lives are almost catching up with those of later generations. At most, there aren’t many dishes on weekdays, but rice is all that’s served. In the morning, not only porridge, but noodles are also on the agenda.

In addition, because Zhao Qian and Tan Meng live in the staff dormitory here, when they go to work in the art troupe, they always come to Luo Cheng to sit on Sissi’s sidecar. I also come back here after get off work, so I might as well do the same as Luo Cheng’s sister, pay five yuan per person, and have breakfast and dinner at Luo Cheng’s place. Because they were from out of town, they felt a little homesick within a few days, so they started making dumplings. Not to mention, they really didn’t feel so homesick after eating.

But I don’t think about it more than once a month. I ate it three times a month. The landlord’s family didn’t dare to eat like this, but it wasn’t the third time that the two literary soldiers were homesick. Instead, Sissi said she wanted to give Luo Cheng a boost, saying that everyone liked dumplings, so she would make dumplings again.

As for Qianqian’s suggestion that Luo Cheng should be given a supplement, Luo Cheng wanted to retort that in this family, his body weight was very standard. But Luo Cheng didn’t dare to say anything. There are only exhausted oxen and no damaged land.

The two young men didn’t think about moderation at first, but they thought it was really interesting. No matter what they thought about, they cooperated with each other. But Luo Cheng is dying now. Although he still has fighting ability, if he doesn’t maintain control, he won’t be able to compete with Qian Qian.

Therefore, when talking at home, Luo Cheng sometimes lacks confidence. But today, Sissi must look good.

But when it comes to movies, Sissi is really motivating everyone to take part in a role. It’s free, and at most it’s just a meal, but there’s no extra fee.

For example, those in the art troupe and the troops who come to help with the performance have their own wages. Especially for the art troupe, this is their job. It is impossible to give extra money.

And some people around the art troupe are really willing to agree to play a role for a meal. Especially when I heard that my appearance might appear in a movie in the future, I was even more happy.

Xiaoyu and Shishi now work in a movie theater, and they were also deceived by Sissi, saying that if they had anything to do, they could go to her and arrange roles. When the movie is scheduled, they will also appear in the movie. But these days, it is difficult to even take a photo, but it can actually appear in the movie as a “living person”.

It really doesn’t matter if you have money or not, many people think it is an interesting thing. According to the plot, Sissi also left a suitable role for Luo Cheng.

Scripts are easy to find these days, mainly because there is no money to film, and if you have money, you give priority to your livelihood. So Sissi went to the art troupe in Chang Seng and said she wanted to start the art troupe in Ngee Ann by making movies, and the expenses were already supported by the car factory in Ngee Ann. After hearing this, the people from the Changcheng Art Troupe were very enthusiastic about Dai Qianqian, the almost naked ‘leader’.

The smooth preparation of the film is also indispensable without the organization of the cultural troupe in Changcheng, and the director and filming equipment must be applied for in advance. Otherwise, just asking Sissi to find the script and find the director, she really doesn’t know how to operate it.

In the evening, Sissi drove a three-wheeler and drove Zhao Qian and Tan Meng back. When Shishi heard the sound, she ran out of the kitchen and asked Qianxi that she and Xiaoyu would have a day off tomorrow and asked if they could go shoot the movie tomorrow.

Sissi said yes, and promised to give them roles that would fit on the screen (camera). But if they want to go, the three-wheeler Luo Cheng drove back today will also have to be used. Five people can’t go there in a tricycle.

In the evening, we had a good meal, including fried pork with chili peppers, which went well with rice. After dinner, there was a 404 event. After the event, it was clear that Luo Cheng won, but Luo Cheng felt that Sissi was acting, and he didn’t know where he learned it, so he would say ‘I can’t do it anymore’. The more the woman said no, the more enthusiastic the man became, but afterwards Luo Cheng always felt that something was wrong.
