Chapter 33 eight trees

Yu Fengqin's death cast a shadow over Hujiapu's thought sweeping movement. That winter, although there was no snow, the wind was very strong.The cold wind whistled, blowing smoke columns one after another on the plain.The cold wind blew in bursts, first it cracked the bark of the trees, powdered the soil on the ground, and then scratched people's faces and swollen their fingers in the sleeves of their jackets.Here, the wind can bite.When the wind blows on the face, it doesn't hurt, it's wooden.Especially that kind of whirlwind, once it catches you in the ground, you can't hide from it, you have to squat down on the spot and let it ride over you.Otherwise, in case of being hit by the evil wind, half of the face will be black if it is mild; if it is severe, it will undoubtedly be paralyzed!Then there is the yellow wind. When the wind blows, it will be yellow for half the day. You look far away from you, but it comes over in an instant. It is like a big cauldron, swallowing you all of a sudden. up!Going forward is yellow, and going back is still yellow, everywhere is yellow and gray, and there is a sound of whirring and buzzing in my ears!You seem to be buried in the loess for thousands of years, no matter how you go, you can't get out.If you dare to run, then run, you can't run, if you sweat from running, you will have a stroke, maybe your life will be lost in vain!But the wind here is especially suitable for tired people.If it is said that you are a tired person who is not in a hurry or impatient, you are a product who can't kick a fart with three legs, you are not in a hurry at all.Then, you just suffer, endure, suffer, hook your head, close your eyes, and hunker your neck, no matter if it is cloudy, no matter if it is a pit or a well, just move slowly, knowing that it is useless to think , there is no need to think about it, slowly, the wind will always pass.Therefore, people on the plain are not afraid of rain, snow or wind.The wind on the plain made man.The wind on the plain bites people without spitting out their bones.There are also some generous people, when they talk about any difficulties or hurdles they cannot overcome, they just say "a gust of wind"!

"Fighting selfishness and criticizing revision" is also "a gust of wind" for the people in Hujiapu.The wind has blown to such a time, so it should have passed.But Hu Tiancheng insisted on opening it for one more day! Objectively speaking, even Hu Tiancheng did not expect that this little woman would hang herself.From the bottom of his heart, he hated this woman, and couldn't understand her kind of "strong food" who was greedy and took a little bit.He had the heart to treat her, but he never thought that she would die. But she died. One person died in the village, which should be said to be a major event.When Hu Tian was established, he was faced with a dilemma, or he had to admit that the meeting was wrong.Just let it go, and this kind of meeting will never be held again; or, he has to say that there is nothing wrong with the meeting, and the meeting will continue.So, a dead man lying there, down, how to drive?

Hu Tiancheng knew in his heart that he had reached a hurdle again.If he can't persist, if he backs down even a little bit, then not only the Wang family will use the dead to make trouble.From then on, it would be difficult for him to think about implementing anything.So, he had a showdown. He gritted his teeth and held another day of meetings.He gathered the whole village on the wheat field.Then, standing on the stone roller in the middle of the wheat field, he said with a dark face: "Facing all the old and young men in the village. Today, I will fight my word 'private' first. Everyone knows that I am a bad-tempered person. Sometimes I don’t speak in the right way, I have said wrong things, I have done wrong things, I admit this. Sometimes, I can’t stick to the principles in everything, and the seven uncles and eight concubines in the village sometimes can’t be bothered and get in the way of face. It's my fault, I'll change it!" As he spoke, his voice suddenly became louder, "However, I want to say one thing: there is nothing wrong with this "self-fighting" meeting. It will not be wrong in ten thousand years! It will continue to be opened every year." When he said this, he raised his head, and his eyes quickly swept around the venue.

So, he found that people already have a sense of guilt.Especially those women, all of them hooked their heads, probably silently calculating their actions a few days ago.After all, women's hearts are softer, and when they calm down, they begin to repent. It was this sheep-like expression that gave Hu Tiancheng an inspiration and an idea to solve the crisis.Then, Hu Tiancheng said loudly: "Dou 'individual' association, according to Guosheng, Guosheng is a high school student in our village with ideas. What is that? That, that is carrying out ideological cleaning, educating oneself. I also talked about it at the meeting. Chairman Mao said that it touches the soul, not the flesh. Tell me, it's wrong to be a "basket" person. Who made you a basket person?! Pure nonsense! Today, I want to criticize You guys!" When he said this, Hu Tiancheng's eyes shot out like bullets, pointing at the faces of those women.Then, he shouted: "Anyone who is 'bao' outstanding, raise your hand!"

At the venue, the women were stunned for a moment, and then, you looked at me and I looked at you, all of them looked stupid!Those who were more honest raised their hands obediently.But most women still dare not raise their hands and are still hesitating.So, Hu Tiancheng stepped down the stone roller and said slowly: "Are you afraid? What is there to be afraid of? It is right to criticize boldly, and you should praise it! Even if the 'bamboo' is outstanding, it is also a contradiction among the people. If there is a mistake, correct it." That's it. Let's do it again!" This time, hurrah, another group of women raised their hands.

But Hu Tiancheng still didn't stop.He knew in his heart that most of the right and wrong in the countryside were provoked by women on the pillow.That is a "pillow wind" ah!Thus, Hu Tiancheng's gaze filtered through the crowd like a sieve.His eyes always glanced intentionally or unintentionally at the place where the Wang family's sisters-in-law stood, first at Yu Fengqin's second sister-in-law, watching her hook her head down, her face slowly turning red; then at her third sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, this woman has no idea, so she panicked at the first glance, as if she had no place to put her hands and feet; then, he stared at her sister-in-law, she is still a girl who has not gone out, she is very human Spicy.His gaze went back and forth on their faces three times in a row!Going down, he sighed, and said gently: "'Bao' is 'bao', this is not alone, everyone is watching. If you admit it, you are still a good member. If you don't mention it, you will find out , that would be bad..."

Suddenly, he shouted loudly with all his strength: "Lift it again!" At this yell, most of the women in the venue raised their hands.Especially the sisters-in-law of the Wang family raised their hands one by one.Although it was very reluctant, he raised his hand after all.When Yu Fengqin's sister-in-law raised her hand, she was so frightened that she burst into tears!As soon as she cried, the eyes of the whole village were attracted. They all looked at the area where the Wang family's wives and sisters-in-law were standing, and saw the women of the Wang family who raised their hands...

At this time, Hu Tiancheng was secretly relieved.Hu Tiancheng said: "Exercise, everyone has seen it, and it's not anyone's business. Oh, put your hands down, this matter is over. Fengqin is still a member, so let the team pay for the funeral. Yes I will bear any responsibility." At this point, Hu Tiancheng changed the subject and said, "Now, everyone, follow me!" Just like that, one village, one village!Before they were stunned, they obediently followed him away.This is magic power, Hu Tiancheng has such magic power!Hu Tiancheng brought the whole village to his door. Immediately afterwards, militiamen carried out eight big elm trees from his yard!These eight big elm trees were felled by him overnight.When the villagers saw these elm trees being carried out of the yard, they immediately surrounded them, and all of them clicked their tongues and said, "My dear, they are all used as beams!"

At this time, Hu Tiancheng said: "I'll tell you now, what is the purpose of the meeting for more than half a month? It's to gather people's hearts! Why gather people's hearts? One word: build a new village!" Hu Tiancheng also said: "Our Hujiabao ancestors have worried about building houses for generations, and have disputes over the homestead. We can no longer let our children and grandchildren worry about the house! From today, our Hujiabao will collectively build houses and row houses in the village. ! In the future, if someone visits our Hujiabao, we will simply say "upstairs and downstairs, lights and telephones"! The elms are donated to build a new village in the village!"

Isn't the human heart a scale?How easy it is to weigh the human heart.Eight trees weigh people's hearts.Eight trees bought the hearts of the whole village.Of course the heart is not made of tofu, the heart is made of blood, but what are the blood?The blood is fed with whole grains, and it can be fed here and there, isn't it a word for "living"? !At this moment, people feel that those eight trees are already a huge number.Those eight trees are enough to convince their headed family.As a result, people were moved again, and the villagers said one after another: Build!Tian Cheng, as long as you hold your head as a branch secretary, we can build it even if you sell everything!

At this time, Tian Chengniang came out from the courtyard.When she went out, she just stood silently at the door without saying a word.Hu Tiancheng glanced at his mother, and said loudly: "Mother, don't blame me. Who told you that you boy is the head of Hujiabao! As long as the new village is built, I will die in peace!" Just such a sentence made the villagers even more excited.Deshun stomped his feet and said, "Since we want to build row houses, let me also donate all the bricks and tiles I used to build the house!" So, Hu Tiancheng took the lead in applauding! All of a sudden, there was thunderous applause in the village street again! However, no one thought that Hu Tiancheng had already thought of all this on the way back from Dazhai.When Hu Tiancheng visited Dazhai, he felt a lot!He likes the cave dwellings in Dazhai very much, and the rows of cave dwellings in Xinquan once left a deep impression on him.Especially at night, the rows and layers of lights are like rows of trains in motion, very towny!So, on the way back, he made up his mind that he would tear down the old houses of each family and build a new village. He must build a new village.He is a man who does great things. What he wants to build is not just neat and uniform houses, but a cohesive "new village"!It will also be unique in the whole country.This idea has been buried in his mind for a long time.Now, it's becoming clearer.He knew very well in his heart that building row houses was not his goal.First of all, he wants to get rid of the basis for the survival of the three surnames Hu, Wang, and Liu, and get rid of the "seniority" that has been hindering him.A house is the foundation of a person. How many people's blood stories have been run through the house that has been passed down from generation to generation?How many family relationships and entanglements have you contacted?In the rural areas of the plains, building a house is the best time to bond with each other. At that time, no matter who built the house, anyone with relatives or relatives would go to help.Give me your hand, let me help you, it's so complicated that it will never be clear from generation to generation.It's not just loess on the wall, it's time, it's "seniority", it's the adhesion of one surname to another.In the countryside, that "seniority", that endless sticking together, is enough to dispel any authority!Then, to truly establish a kind of authority, these things must be dismantled.The homesteads belong to the Tibetans, and if the homesteads of each family are demolished, people will have nowhere to hide.At that time, the houses belong to the village, and the foundation of people's life has completely changed. These, Hu Tiancheng will not easily tell people. He wants to build an ideal "new village" in Hujiapu! That night, Xiuya came to the hut in the orchard again. After entering the door, Xiuya said silently: "A new village is going to be built." Hu Tiancheng said, "Yes." Xiu Ya said: "Feng Qin is dead..." Hu Tiancheng suddenly said: "It's good for a person like this to die." Xiuya felt cold and murmured, "You are too cruel." Hu Tiancheng said flatly: "Sometimes the sheep have to be chased. If you don't chase it, it won't go away." Xiuya said silently: "They are all individuals..." Hu Tiancheng glanced outside the door and said, "Listen outside, the voice is coming. Is that the voice of a human? When a human reaches a certain point, he ceases to be a human." Xiuya thought to herself, why do I like him so much?Why do I like him?No matter what he does, how can I just like him? ! Hu Tiancheng said coldly: "Take off!"
