Chapter 829 The changes in my hometown are quite big(2/2)

"

He hurriedly fled the bus station.

Luo Xuan couldn't help but sigh: It seems that Rongwei County is indeed well-organized and very humane.

Rongwei County is only 26 miles away from Hongxing Commune.

Moreover, the highway has been renovated several times, and the traffic situation is much better than before.

It's around 2 o'clock at noon now, it's still early, and the sun isn't too hot today, so the weather is a bit overcast.

So Luo Xuan decided to walk all the way back and see the changes in the production team along the way.

When we left the county town, the rice fields on both sides of the road were seeing green seedlings, and there were many members of the production team working on their backs and busy weeding in the rice fields.

There was an agency store of a supply and marketing cooperative on the roadside. Luo Xuan went in and bought 2 packs of "Hongmei Brand" cigarettes, plus a box of matches in his bag.

During this period, prices did not change much for many years.

This kind of "Hongmei Brand" cigarettes were sold for 3.6 cents a pack when I left Bashu.

Fire retails for 3 cents per box. If you buy it in a pack, it is 2 cents. There are 10 boxes of matches inside.

I don’t smoke, but carrying 2 packs of cigarettes with me will be very useful.

If you want to strike up a conversation with the members of the production team later, handing over a cigarette will basically start the conversation.

We walked along the road for 4 or 5 miles.

On the right side of the road, a relatively wide mechanized farming road appeared. Luo Xuan turned along the way, and then came to the edge of a jute field.

The reason why I didn't choose to chat with those members as soon as I left the county.

That's because the economic conditions of production teams near the county are generally better.

After all, it's close to the county seat.

The members planted some fruits and vegetables in front of and behind their houses, and fished some fish and shrimp, etc., and it was much more convenient to bring them to the county town for cash.

Therefore, generally the production teams near the city gate will have better economic conditions.

When Luo Xuan arrived at the jute field, a group of men and women from the production team were actually hoeing the fields with hoes.

"Fellow, can you take a rest?"

Luo Xuan smiled and waved, "Come here, smoke a cigarette to relieve your fatigue."

In the production team, most of the men who can be left to work with a bunch of women by the captain are not strong laborers.

But after surviving a day, these men, like those women, can only earn 8 work points.

Several men put down their hoes, fanned themselves with straw hats, and walked over.

When they took the cigarettes from Luo Xuan's hand, they all looked down, then looked up and smiled, "Oh, such a good cigarette, I'm smoking your fortune cigarette again today, comrade."

"How can you make a fortune by smoking and not making a fortune? There is no separation between tobacco and alcohol."

Luo Xuan sat down on the edge of the field, "Fellow folks, I would like to ask, can your production team have enough to eat now?"

The men put their straw hats on their buttocks and sat down, "How old are you now? Why don't you have enough to eat?

I don’t dare to eat dry white rice except during Chinese New Year. Sweet potato rice and corn mash rice can still fill your belly.”

"What about rapeseed oil? What's the current quantitative standard? And what about pork?"

Luo Xuan asked, "How many times a month can you eat meat?"

"Currently, the standard monthly supply of rapeseed oil for adults is 3 taels and 8, but not necessarily for children, ranging from 2 taels and 6 to 3 taels and 3."

"As for eating meat, just 2 or 3 times a month."

One man replied, "Our production team is not economically sound enough. I heard that Red Star Commune has a revitalization brigade, but that's ridiculous!"

"My wife has a relative over there."

"I heard that the members of the revitalization brigade really eat a lot of chicken, duck and goose a month. Their pork supply is about the same as ours at 8 taels and 2 a month.

It’s just that their production team has a meat factory, a cannery, and they have their own slaughterhouse. Just the pigs in the water every day are enough for them to eat!”

"It's thiophene."

Another member said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Even the drainage ditches of Zhengxing Production Brigade are full of lard."

"Many families in our county sell their meat supply tickets in advance when there are weddings, funerals, weddings, or weddings."

"When it's time to host a banquet, I'll ask someone to go to the Zhengxing Brigade to get some pig offal, pork head meat, deboned meat, etc. Can't we rely on such mutual adjustments to host the banquet?"

Hearing this, Luo Xuan couldn't help but feel nervous: Rongwei County's economic level is considered to be pretty good in the entire Bashu region.

Among them, Zhengxing Brigade, which is my hometown, has many breeding farms and deep processing enterprises of agricultural products.

Therefore, the living standard of Zhengxing Brigade members has far exceeded that of other production teams.

But even so, everyone's life is actually not that rich.

It can only be said that I don’t have to worry about food and clothing. I don’t eat much meat, but I eat more or less every month.

It seems that we have to find ways to improve the economic level of our hometown and make the fellow villagers live a richer life.

However, relying solely on agricultural breeding and deep processing of agricultural products is obviously not enough.

As for industrial enterprises such as the textile machinery factory, agricultural machinery factory, and foundry in Hongxing Commune, no matter how much wealth they create, they still need to hand over all of it.

The wealth that can be retained locally is not as much as imagined.
