Chapter 4 Four hanging feet

Speaking of the Wang Qiushe whom Li Guoxiang met at the ferry pier, he was indeed a figure in this town.In terms of birth status, he is one class above the poor and lower-middle peasants: farm laborers.The poor and lower-middle peasants are only the semi-proletarians in the countryside.Gold is not fake, unicorns are not real, Wang Qiushe is a proletarian of good quality.After checking the five clothes and three generations, he didn't even have the origin of his parents. I don't know when he was a beggar orphan who came from Hezhou County to Furong Town, a corner of the province.Not to mention his grandpa and grandpa's father.Naturally, there is no complex relationship between relatives and friends such as brothers and sisters-in-law, uncles, aunts, father-in-law, and grandpa.It can be regarded as having a clean birth history and pure social relations.Innocence is innocence, innocence is innocence, innocence is innocence.Of course, it is the cleanest, the purest, and the most suitable for going to heaven and going abroad.It's a pity that he is in poor health and lacks culture when flying a plane.When I went abroad, I couldn't read or understand foreign words.It's all because he was born at the wrong time in the old society, and grew up squatting in a dilapidated temple and living in an ancestral hall.In the year of the land reform, he was only 22 years old, but he had played gongs in the ancestral hall of this town for five years.He is diligent, not stupid, and can read a few words. He runs errands in the ancestral hall, watching the faces and winks of the wealthy elders to entertain and worship, and is very dedicated.Of course, it is inevitable to suffer some inexplicable cold slaps and some sudden secret punches.In his own words at the complaint meeting, he chewed rice with tears, drank gall soup, gave others a wooden fish to knock his head on, and his neck as a bench for others to sit on. Not a single ramie cord could be found.

He was designated as "the root of the land reform".According to his eloquence and guts, he could have been a "working comrade" with a gold pen in his uniform pocket.However, he failed the test when he was translated from "a man who is a servant" to "a man who is a master", and he stumbled on the bright and clean marble surface of the class standpoint, where people can be seen: the work team sent him to the town. A fugitive landlord's house went to guard the floating fortune, but he stumbled and fell into the ivory bed, and he was like a fish in water with the little concubine abandoned by the fugitive landlord, as if he had really tasted the feeling of "turning over". I dare not take a look, but now I am possessed and entertained by myself.His "turning over view" is of course not allowed by the policies of the people's government and intolerable by the discipline of the work team.The little concubine received the punishment she deserved for giving "beauty tricks" to the poor and hired farmers, and his "roots of land reform" also lost the prospect of being promoted to "work comrades".Otherwise, Wang Qiushe might be at the county and regiment level with a population of one hundred thousand in a jeep today.He cried bitterly in front of the work team, and slapped himself until the corners of his mouth were bleeding.The work team kept his status as a farm laborer and "root of the land reform" in mind of his suffering, deep hatred and sincere repentance, and the fruits of victory were still the first in the division.He got four-season clothes, a full set of bedding, two mu of paddy fields, and one mu of good soil. The most rare thing was a stilted building on Qingshiban Street in the town.

Diaojiaolou was originally a villa with a wooden structure where Shanba used to live with prostitutes when he went to the market earlier.Wang Qiushe only forgot that he should also be given farm tools and cattle.After getting this fruit, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth and eyes for several days and nights, thinking that he was dreaming, a bizarre dream of wealth and wealth.Then he was dazzled and dizzy again, and he came up with the most depressed and hopeless idea: Now that his surname Wang has got this floating wealth, he just sleeps and eats ready-made food, and the meal is stained with meat, and he drinks it every time. Two or two, the belongings in this building are enough to sell for ten or eight years.Today, the Communist Party is well-led, the people’s government is powerful, and the future of the new society is boundless. Judging from the documents and materials vigorously promoted by working comrades, it will take ten or eight years to build socialism and enter the communist society.At that time, those who eat in the public house, those who wear the public house, those who live in the public house, and those who play in the public house, why not do it?Even my body of a hundred catties belongs to the public. Who wants it?Hahaha, hee hee hee, who wants it?I give it all, give it all!Whenever he thinks of the beauty of the new society, he is so happy that he beats his hands and feet on the red-painted high-pillar bed, somersaults, and is overjoyed.

But the days after the land reform were not as wonderful as he had imagined while sleeping on a red-painted high-post bed in a stilted building.Living in the ancestral hall since he was a child, he was only used to "eating living food": running errands, playing gongs, and sweeping the floor; but he did not learn to "do dead things": plowing the fields, plowing the soil, and growing grains.A good field and good soil will not grow millet and wheat on their own, but the owner will have to work hard and sweat.People don't coax the land, and the land doesn't coax the belly.But planting seedlings and planting fields faces the muddy water and backs to the sky, the waist bones are broken, digging the ground is booming, the sun is scorching the back skin, and dealing with dirt and clods, the mouth is closed all day long, and the sweat on the body dries up. Wet, wet and dry, it's a grain of millet with a thousand drops of sweat.He was boring and couldn't stand the bitterness, dirtyness, and tiredness.He is not a serious farmer by nature, but a man who runs errands and eats his living.After two or three years, the grass in his field was deeper than the grain, and the pika could hide in the soil.Later, he simply counted it as a fool, and the hoe and sickle at the corner of the door were all rusted.He began to secretly and secretly sell the fruits of victory he got during the land reform, and all the boxes and cabinets were in RMB.Although the renminbi is printed on paper and rattling, it is more important than the clanging "Yuan Datou" before liberation.When he went to restaurants or wine shops, he never dared to eat and drink too much.Sometimes the residents of this town don't see cooking smoke rising from the sky above his stilted building for half a month, and they think that he has learned some Taoism, acquired some fairy art, and the ready-made chicken and duck banquets are just waved by him, and he will go away with a wave of his hand. Even the cups, plates and chopsticks don't need to be washed by hand.

As the saying goes: "Saving money is like picking up dirt with gold, and spending money is like washing sand with waves", "sit and eat the mountains and nothing".After a few years of living, Wang Qiushe didn't get a daughter-in-law, and the household items in the stilted building have been out of ten.Even the clothes and trousers are sloppy, showing the dilapidated appearance before the land reform.The residents of this town have given him several nicknames: one is "Wang Qiu Credit", who borrows money to live on credit throughout the year; It's a lazy snake who should not move; one is "Wang Qiushe", who said that gold and silver flowed through his fingers, and he spent all his property in a few years.He said that those who nicknamed him did not have the slightest class feeling.And the other households who became the "roots of land reform" with him have made a lot of money in a few years. They bought buffaloes, added barns, built new houses, and the whole family wore the same color.He was jealous.He is looking forward to the day when a new land reform will come, and he will be able to share the fruits of victory again. "Mother, be good! If I take power and become a politician, I will adjust the composition every year, carry out the land reform once a year, and share the floating wealth once a year!" He lay on the broken mat of the stilted building, with his hands on his head, feeling very happy They constantly think about who should be classified as landlords, who should be classified as rich peasants, and who should be classified as middle peasants and poor peasants.What about himself? "Chairman of the Peasant Association! Except for Lao Tzu, who is a good-looking mother, who is qualified for this!" Of course, he himself knows that this is poor and happy.It's rare for generations to come across such a beautiful job as a floating fortune.In 1954, several mutual aid groups were formed in the town.He proposed to join the group with fields.People think that other people will not join the group, and will not work in the fields to make a living. Isn't it because they are eating land rent after autumn?So no one would take him in.He didn't become a member of the agricultural cooperative until he established the agricultural cooperative and took the road of cooperation.The agricultural society has a social committee, the social committee has several directors and deputy directors, and several production teams and professional groups under it. It is inevitable to hold frequent meetings, issue notices, send errands to send messages, etc., so it is necessary to use good quality, politically reliable , Talents with quick mouth and quick legs.Wang Qiushe was born at the right time, in the right position, and has a place to use his skills.

Wang Qiushe has another side to his life, that is, he is willing to walk around in the neighborhood to help.Except for the five types of people in the town, no matter who is asking for weddings and ceremonies such as marrying a daughter or the death of an old man, he always comes uninvited to assist the host family in organizing the next party, buying wine and meat, preparing gifts, and arranging banquets Desks and chairs should be provided.He tried his best, forgetting the day and night, and he didn't have any extravagant thoughts, just rejoicing as he liked, eating a few banquets, and adding a few suppers.Even in ordinary days, when someone kills pigs or beats dogs, he is most willing to help others, setting up pots to boil water, shaving hair and washing intestines, running errands to buy wine and cigarettes, etc.Therefore, he has a special identity invisibly: the "tolerance man" of the people in the town.He himself called this "running the ancestral hall".

In addition to being somewhat "popular" in the town, he also has a lot of "heart".He was a single man who lived in a whole empty building on stilts. The room was spacious, so most of the working comrades who came down from the county and the district to "eat pies" were willing to come and sleep in his building.The floor of the stilted building is dry, and there are verandahs with handrails at the front and back. The air is fresh, and working comrades are naturally happy to live there.In this way, Wang Qiushe got to know some cadres in the county and district.When these cadres go to the countryside, they pay attention to class sentiments. After seeing Wang Qiushe, the stilted landlord, after the land reform, the mother-in-law can’t afford it. She still has rotten pots, rotten bowls, and rotten stoves. He is a poor and hired farmer, and there is polarization in the countryside.Therefore, the relief money that is paid every winter, and the relief food that is not harvested at the turn of spring and summer every year, the first recipient of relief in Furong Town is often Wang Qiushe.And every two or three years, he also received a set of relief cotton-padded clothes and cotton trousers.It seems that the revolution and struggle are for Wang Qiushe and others. How can the "one big and two men" starve and freeze Wang Qiushe and others?In the past few years, due to the Great Leap Forward and hard times, the people were impoverished and the country was impoverished, and the relief cotton clothes were not distributed to Wang Qiushe for four or five years.Wang Qiushe had a cloth hanging on his body, the plaster was exposed on his shoulders and front, and there was not a single button on his chest. He tied it with a straw rope in a difficult and simple way, which was really ugly.Wang Qiushe thought that if the government did not help him, it would be "the ugliness of the new society".In winter, his mouth was black with cold and his nose was running clear. He ran to the commune, went to the secretary of the commune and said, "Ah, the higher-ups, the commune held a class struggle exhibition in 1959. I want to go to my rotten cotton coat." , better than the one I'm wearing now, can you unlock the exhibition hall and change it for me?"

①The tidbits are exposed on the torn cotton coat. What words?Changing out of the Class Struggle Exhibition Hall for rotten cotton clothes and going back to wear them?Is it not as good as it used to be?What political influence?What Wang Qiushe reveals is the face of the new society!The secretary of the commune felt that the responsibility was heavy, related to the issue of class position and class sentiment, and the higher-level civil affairs department would not distribute relief supplies for a while, so he had to reluctantly take off his 50% new padded jacket from his body and give it to the "land reform" "Genzi" put on to keep out the cold in winter.

"The people's government, food and clothing for parents." Wang Qiushe often said these words in his mouth and kept them in his heart.He also knows how to be grateful. Whenever the superior comrades come down to grasp the center and engage in sports, he plays the gong, blows the whistle, calls the local radio, rings the bell, runs errands to deliver materials, stands guard at night, and leads slogans at the meeting place. He is always positive and willing. Do it, take the lead, be the backbone.Wherever the comrade at work points, he will rush there.He relies on his comrades at work, and comrades at work rely on him.Ben is also the political movement that needs him, and he needs the political movement.

Hu Yuyin's man, Li Guigui, is an honest butcher. He usually keeps silent, and he can't make a sound with three hammers.But a dog that doesn't bark bites.He summed up a jingle for Wang Qiushe, which was widely circulated at the time and had a bad influence. It was called: "If you are lazy, the government depends on it; if you work hard, the government doesn't care; if you have a surplus and earn money, the government criticizes it." Here, I would like to introduce a few sentences: Hu Yuyin set up a rice tofu stall, and Wang Qiushe came to Weiwei to eat for free, which is called "keeping accounts".It turned out that he had another bad plan: one of the fruits of victory he received during the land reform included a piece of house foundation, which was next to the Old Huji Inn.The house on stilts is enough for him to live in as a single man, what do we need the foundation for?He has already revealed to Hu Yuyin and his wife that the land can be transferred as long as they are willing to pay one or two hundred yuan in cash.At the same time, it can be considered that I have not eaten for nothing at the rice tofu stand in the past two years.What's more, Wang Qiu pardoned a man, how can he use his poor appearance for a while?Zhao Kuangyin was a rascal for several years, and Xue Rengui lived in a hut for three years!
