Chapter 699 The Future of Mujiatun
"Big sister, this is Maomao, why is his head shaved?"
Wang Tiedan walked forward and asked curiously.
"Maomao has grown up and knows how to save face. He has a head of yellow hair, but people said it doesn't look good, so he shaved it all off. Maomao, call me third uncle." The eldest sister said with a smile.
"Third uncle~"
Maomao is still a little shy.
Wang Tiedan hugged him and without waiting for him to struggle, he took out a toy racing car from the horse's back and stuffed it into his hand.
Maomao just took a glance and couldn't let it go.
"Come into the house quickly, I'll ask someone to find your brother-in-law."
"Row!"
Wang Tiedan put Maomao down and carried the gifts on the horse's back into the house.
Just after installing the battery on the racing car, my brother-in-law Mu Diao walked into the house with a middle-aged man.
"Tiedan, let me introduce you. This is Secretary Gu Tiejun, the new secretary of our village. Secretary Gu, this is Wang Tiedan that Secretary Zhao told you about, my brother-in-law." Mu Diao introduced.
Wang Tiedan simply stretched out his hand.
"Hello, Secretary Gu!"
"Hello, Comrade Wang!"
Gu Tiejun looked at Wang Tiedan with a smile on his face.
"Before, Mayor Zhao kept mentioning you. I have wanted to meet you for a long time, but I never had the chance. Today, I finally met you in person."
"Haha, Secretary Gu is too polite."
The three of them came into the house and sat down, and exchanged pleasantries again.
As they chatted, the topic turned to the development of Mujiatun.
Mujiatun has always been one of the best villages in the surrounding area.
Of course, it still is.
However, compared with Dawang Village, which came later, its development seems much slower.
Moreover, Mujiatun’s development has recently encountered a bottleneck.
"Tiedan, we want to expand the farm in the village. Instead of raising chickens, we want to raise ducks. What do you think?"
Mu Diao said.
Secretary Gu also nodded.
This is the opinion that the village committee came up with together.
Wang Tiedan thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to raise them directly in the reservoir?"
"Yes, we can just build a duck house on the shore. It's very convenient."
"Don't even think about it!!"
Wang Tiedan directly objected.
"Why? The village still has some money, and the villagers are supportive."
"It's not a matter of money or not."
Wang Tiedan pointed to the south.
"This city uses Miyun's water. If you raise a few ducks, it's fine. But if you raise too many, there will be pollution. If the water quality deteriorates, it will take several years to recover. By then, the leaders of this city will come and shoot you."
"pollute?"
Gu Tiejun and Mu Diao obviously don't have this concept yet.
"Ducks and geese can eat and poop, which can easily cause E. coli levels in reservoirs to exceed the standard. People nowadays are used to drinking raw water, so problems can easily arise.
If you want to raise fish, you can dig a fish pond far away from the reservoir and raise them separately.
Otherwise, don’t even think about it.”
"Digging a fish pond?"
Gu Tiejun recalled the terrain around Mujiatun in his mind and shook his head helplessly.
Mujiatun was built along the reservoir, with the few arable lands next to it. No villagers would be willing to give it up, and the commune would not allow it.
"It seems impossible. Mujiatun has no mountains, let alone valleys like Dawangcun."
"Then don't raise them anymore and just focus on fishing!" said Wang Tiedan.
Mu Diao sighed.
“Tiedan, it’s not as simple as you say. In fact, the amount of fish caught in the village is increasing every year, but we can’t stop the commune from coming to take it.
In the past two years, the villagers have been feeling resentful. They work just as hard, but in the end, everything is given to the commune, and they don't have much left for themselves at the end of the year.
So, we thought, like Dawang Village, we could set up a breeding farm to increase our income.”
Wang Tiedan heard the implication of the words and realized that this was because they envied Dawang Village for being directly connected to the Quartermaster Department and not being exploited by the commune.
Miyun Reservoir is a fish reservoir for the residents of Sijiucheng and it is impossible for it to be taken over.
So we can only think of other solutions.
"Secretary Gu, brother-in-law, don't worry. I just happened to come here today to tell you something. Starting next year, Dawang Village will make a big move. I estimate that your seedling industry will exceed 500,000 per year in the future. You must be mentally prepared."
"Five million?"
Secretary Gu and Mu Diao were both shocked.
This number can be said to have increased tenfold.
One chick costs one cent, and 500,000 chicks would be 50,000 yuan, which is definitely a huge number for Mujiatun today.
"Tiedan, you are not lying to us, are you? How can Dawang Village be that big?"
"With the addition of more than a dozen surrounding villages, we have it. We want common prosperity, so we can't just develop one village."
Wang Tiedan paused for a moment, then continued, “You guys are still too impatient. Be patient and wait. I think the policies above will change. Within three to five years, the advantages of your village will soon be reflected.
It won’t be long before every family can earn 10,000 yuan, and live better than in the city.”
"Tiedan, don't make empty promises for us!" Mu Diao said with a smile.
"What are you talking about? How about this, within five years, if your family is not a millionaire, I will make up the difference. Is that ok?"
Wang Tiedan made a direct promise.
After all, it’s my eldest sister’s house, so it doesn’t matter how much money I give.
Moreover, after two years of reform and opening up, the living standards of residents will improve rapidly, and the communes will be abolished shortly thereafter.
By then, even if it is just selling fish, Mujiatun will be able to make a lot of money.
Secretary Gu also laughed out loud.
After hearing what Wang Tiedan said, I felt more confident for some reason.
"I'll just take advantage of Comrade Wang's good words!"
The adults were chatting when they heard Maomao running into the yard crying so hard that his heart was broken.
Everyone in the room was startled and rushed forward. When they opened the door, they heard Maomao crying even louder.
"Mom, the car plunged into the water, my car! My car, ah~~"
Wang Tiedan scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
It's also his fault for forgetting to remind me.
The racing car has a single function: it will keep running as long as the battery has power, and at a very high speed.
There are ditches everywhere in Mujiatun, and it would be abnormal if you don't go into the water.
"How dare you cry? You've only been holding it in your hand for a short while. Where did it get stuck?"
The eldest sister dragged Maomao out, scolding him as she walked.
Wang Tiedan hurried over and picked up his little nephew.
"Big sister, it's okay. It's gone. Maomao, don't cry. I'll ask your grandpa to send you two in a couple of days, okay?"
Maomao pouted, but tears were still falling.
I finally got a favorite toy, but it was gone after playing with it for less than five minutes. No child can stand this.
As he was speaking, a little boy, all wet, ran into the yard, holding the racing car in his hand, followed by a group of children.
"Maomao, I fished it out, look."
"Hey, Dafeng, why did you go into the water in such a cold day?"
"Aunt, it's okay. I dived and got it back in a short while. The car can't move. It's not me who broke it."
"It's okay, it's okay! Ouch~ you kid, you must be frozen."
As she said that, the eldest sister hurriedly pulled Dafeng into the house to change clothes.
Wang Tiedan also took the racing car and threw it into the water.
It really can't move. It should be a short circuit caused by water ingress.
A group of children surrounded him, looking at the racing cars, feeling distressed and eager. Even if they were bad ones, they still liked them.
