1978 Household Production Contract in Xiaolan Village, Fengyang County, Anhui Province

As early as 1977, Ge Yuqiao, who was only 25 years old, opened the first "crab eater" in the local area and started the household contract system.

As we all know, the rural reform in China began at the end of 1978, and began with the implementation of "all-inclusive and all-separate" in Xiaogang village, Fengyang county. "Integrated contracting" is a great pioneering work. It first ensures that the country will be left behind by the collective, and the rest will be its own. Implement the responsibility of "all-in" to individuals. Before this, an earlier person put forward the idea of contract production and put it into action. He is Ge Yuqiao. 1On the evening of August 7, 977, Ge Yuqiao took risks and signed a contract with Chen, then deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee of Zaoli Brigade, at the bridgehead of the village. According to the contract, Ge Yuqiao contracted an acre of seven-point wasteland in the village, and he began to farm. In order to give himself courage, he made it for himself. He used his own choice and persistence in thinking to motivate himself to touch others.

He grows fruit on his 7 acres of wasteland. In addition, he also grows some vegetables in the fields at regular intervals and raises fish by the surrounding rivers. A year later, 650 yuan turned over to the collective, with a net income of more than 800 yuan, more than seven times that of his collective. With rich income, he developed his desire for the rapid construction of the motherland, and at the same time he also developed a commemoration of his own practices. Looking at his income, he counted the nationalities in the motherland, um, 5600 yuan. Judging from the current income, apart from household and production inputs, only 180 yuan can be used. It takes about forty-eight cents a day to save, and it takes thirty-two years. It is of great significance if the total amount of money needed to be saved in a year is removed from the middle process on June 5438+1 October1every year, and the last saved money is sealed in a special wooden box, thinking of taking it out on the occasion of the 60th birthday of the motherland, making a contribution to the country and making a memorial for one's choice. In the first year, such income did not satisfy Ge Yuqiao. With the convening of the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the contract of joint production has been promoted throughout the country, and all localities have had successful experiences. From 65438 to 0982, Ge Yuqiao walked to Huaxi Village at his own expense to learn successful experiences. After returning, he began to engage in aquaculture, mainly breeding minks, angora rabbits and crabs. He also wrote to the Multi-management Bureau and the Foreign Trade Bureau of Xinghua for advice on aquaculture technology, hoping to get their support and make aquaculture develop further. His practice proved to be effective, so he became the first ten thousand yuan household in the village to get rich by farming.

Behind advanced breeding, it is extremely difficult. His eldest son was diagnosed with Japanese encephalitis at an early age. In order to treat the child, Ge Yuqiao had to seek medical advice for the child after planting. After three or four years of savings, my family expenses were exhausted, and I borrowed money to see my children everywhere, and I was heavily in debt. However, he never forgot his thoughts, and still saved money on National Day. It may be a bit unreasonable, but he and his family supported his idea and persisted no matter how difficult it was. Saving money has become a habit. In 2008, a major earthquake occurred in Wenchuan, Sichuan, China, and all parts of the country were supporting the Sichuan disaster area to rebuild their homes. Therefore, he decided to take out his money in advance and donate it to the disaster area. Ge Yuqiao said: He started to sign the land contract for joint production from 1977 beginning of autumn at 23: 30 on August 7th, and August 8th was the contract responsibility day, saving a penny every half hour from 0: 30 on August 8th, 77. Until July, 2009 15 16, * * forget it 1666 days16 hours, which is exactly 280,000 hours, that is, waiting for 56 ethnic groups 100%.

Perhaps, in China's rural reform and construction, there are many unknown pioneers like Ge Yuqiao, even earlier, perhaps his deeds can't move China. But he has developed a spirit of being the first in the world, which is exactly what we need. Dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC).
