Chapter 7 6 Conspiracy (1)

When Hei Ni returned home, she saw the shredded tobacco curling from the window of her uncle's room through the flowers, and suddenly remembered the things she had been asked to inquire about, but she didn't ask a word.She didn't say that she should have forgotten, but she turned around and complained in her heart: "Oh, I really sit at home and have nothing to do, so I need to ask!" At this time, I heard the sound of a guest talking in the second uncle's room, Hei Ni pressed her face to the crack of the window, just saw the face of Ren Guozhong sitting opposite the kang, suddenly the second aunt called out from the west corridor: "Heini! When did you come back?"

Hei Ni left the window, looked at her aunt coldly, snorted softly, and walked back to her room.She thought contemptuously: "These people, really, what's the big deal, it's worth being so sneaky!" Qian Wengui twirled his beard with two fingers, squeezed his eyes very small and long, and looked at the elementary school teacher from the corner of his eyes.Ren Guozhong took a puff of cigarette, and then continued to talk about the news he just mentioned: "...The newspaper also published this story, saying that it was Sun Yat-sen's idea, and the town of Ping'an was almost in trouble. The red deeds of the rich man's family were all handed over. I am afraid that Zhuolu will not escape. The Communist Party's Eighth Route Army It’s unavoidable to control the ground.” At this time, Qian Wengui’s eyes narrowed even more, and he said: “Of course, this is the Communist Party’s method, no, it’s... it’s called a policy! What’s this policy called? Heh , What did you call it just now? Heh! It’s called "land to the tiller"! Yes, "land to the tiller", very good, very good, it sounds so good, you can tell those poor people to listen to it. There's someone who doesn't fall for it! Well, very good, very good..." After a pause, he went on to say: "However, well, things in the world will not be so easy, what do you think, is Lao Jiang right? Americans help."

Ren Guozhong hurriedly said: "That's right! Well, the Communist Party always says it's for the poor and for the people. These are just nice terms. Uncle Qian, you didn't go to Zhangjiakou to take a look. Hmph, you said who lives in those good houses? Who lives in the cars? Sitting? Who is going in and out at the entrance of the big hotel? It’s not them who are getting fat? Uncle Qian! I said, now it’s the world of warriors again, and people in long gowns can’t eat it.” After he finished speaking, he rolled his eyes He tried his best to search the face opposite him to see what kind of reaction there was.

Qian Wengui shook his sleeves, flicked off the soot on his white bamboo jacket, and said with a smile in his nose: "Originally, one emperor and one courtier. Old Ren, don't you feel aggrieved, ha... ...you are an elementary school teacher, you should 'serve the people', ha..." With his smile, Ren Guozhong, who froze a bit, couldn't help but said: "We are people who rely on chalk for a living. Wherever we are, we always look at other people's colors, so we can't say that there is something aggrieved. However, I always feel a little It's too outrageous, look, it doesn't matter what kind of "civilian education" our teachers should be led by, Uncle Qian! You also know, what "civilian education" is, isn't it the boy Li Chang? That bastard Chang, who knows a few big characters, knows shit, but is shameless, always giving orders, wanting this or that... Sigh!"

"Ha..." Qian Wengui continued his smile, "Li Chang used to have eight acres of land, but the land was not very good. Last year, he had a struggle and got two acres of land. Now it is ten acres of land. He and his father , and the child bride-in-law, the life of the three of them is about the same. But they are still poor peasants. What about you, how many acres of land do you have? Heh...you are a non-working person!" "We earn a hundred catties of grain a month, and we have nothing left, but this hundred catties of grain is not easy to earn. In the past, it was not worth the money spent on studying, and we spent all day with those naughty children. Now we are still learning how to fight. Overlord whip, learning to twist Yangko... Others love this set of bastards; Tao Yuanming didn't bend his waist for five buckets of rice, but we suffered Li Chang's anger for one hundred catties of grain, eh!"

"Ha... a hundred catties of grain a month, then it's over. Whether they share the property or share the land, the insurance won't make trouble for you. Just like us, we don't have to be afraid of their tricks. For example, we Chunshang allocated 50 mu of land to my son, and now we are three households. We only have the old couple, Hei Ni, and three of us in this household. We only have ten mu of land. We can harvest about ten a year. Shi Liang, three poor and five rich, at most we will be neither poor nor rich. They can make troubles as they like, let's see through the red dust and let it go!"

This rural normal graduate has been teaching in Nuanshuitun for two years.I feel more and more that I stand out from the crowd and cannot find friends.In the beginning, he was still in contact with Li Zijun, but later he felt that the declining landlord was too incompetent.There is also Teacher Liu who should be able to get along, but he is not as good as him, so it doesn't matter, but he relies on his ability to curry favor with the village cadres, leading elementary school students to sing those "Without the Communist Party, there will be no new China" or write slogans. , Shouting slogans, he is trusted because he can make such troubles, and he looks smarter than Ren Guozhong, but this makes Ren Guozhong unconvinced.So gradually Ren Guozhong only had Qian Wengui as the one to talk about.Sometimes I feel that I am a confidant, a confidant who understands his talents and can help him.When he hears any news, he always likes to come and talk to Qian Wengui to relieve his depression.There is no hope here, and there is no hope, and sometimes even walk back more empty, but there is always some comfort.He came here again this day with a kind of joy, but Qian Wengui expressed indifference to the news, and Ren Guozhong felt a little uncomfortable because he was indifferent.

In the windless summer, it was noon again, and the house felt very stuffy, so Qian Wengui asked his wife to make another pot of tea.Ren Guozhong waved a small round fan made of cattail grass, looked up blankly at the photos hanging on the wall, and at some screens painted by beauties.Sensing the boredom of the other party, Qian Wengui handed him another Sun brand cigarette, and said, "Old Ren! As the saying goes, 'widows have good dreams' all come to nothing. Lao Jiang wants to let the Communist Party go, so we lose." Just wait and see, who will own Nuanshuitun in the future? Do you think this group of muddy legs will be allowed to sit in the mountains? What Zhang Yumin, he is finally the leader now, and he is the one who decides all matters. Hmph, This is a good cadre promoted by the Communist Party! Well, who doesn’t know him yet, Li Zijun’s long-term worker! How can you not bow down when you saw someone earlier? There is also a director of the peasant association. We also know how many hairs Cheng Ren has. Our family went out. Let this messy people manage things in the village, so it’s okay? Now they rely on guns. Also, there are so many people. Why is Kazakhstan always fighting, and the liquidation is endless? Hey Is this the only way to win over the poor? When it comes to sharing land and food, the poor are not jealous or happy? In fact, these people are just fools. Now, I see who you are going to fight? Humph, by then, everything should be back to normal, and whoever is in charge should be in charge. You, let’s say, Lao Ren, no one in the whole village can compare with you in terms of literary talent If I can get you, just say that you are from another village and not easy to manage, so I won’t be angry with this bastard again in vain!”

"Second Uncle really knows how to tell jokes. We are teachers, and we don't want to be an official or manage affairs, but we don't want to see good people suffer. Second Uncle, let's get back to the topic. This land reform, we say you have to be careful." Qian Wengui saw that he forced the words back again, so he still walked away: "We are not afraid of the land reform. If it goes well, maybe two acres of water land will be allocated. When Qian Yi left, we didn't want anything. However, For the sake of poor people like us, it’s better not to take land. Sometimes you can find them and their children in school, chat with them, and tell them not to be fools. The Communist Party may not be able to stand up! Well, this is a Pile of merit."

Ren Guozhong felt very excited when he heard it. He has something to do now.He will do it, and he will do it very confidentially.However, he always felt that Qian Wengui was taking things too seriously, and he had to remind him: "That kid Zhang Yumin is a ghost, don't think that when he sees you, he calls you uncle and uncle. Also, maybe something There will be one or two enemies in the place." "Hey... Don't worry! Don't worry! We can still let these grandsons fall? You go back, worry more, and come when you have any news. If there is any victory in the newspaper, just talk to someone. It doesn't matter if you make up a few, there are still sensible people in the village, who don't think about the future! Hey..." He said as he got down from the kang, Ren Guozhong also put on his shoes, satisfied, and took another piece of paper from the kang table. After lighting a Sun brand cigarette, Qian Wengui hurriedly went to strike a match. At this moment, they both heard the curtains in the opposite house rattling. They exchanged glances unconsciously, and Qian Wengui asked loudly:

"Who is it?" "Second Uncle, it's us," Hei Ni's voice agreed, "We're chasing the cat, it's making a nasty noise in my room." Ren Guozhong unknowingly sat down on the edge of the kang again. Qian Wengui understood this young man, understood why he often came to his home and wanted to push him, but he winked at him and said, "I won't keep you." , the children should have lunch and go to school, come back when you are free." He lifted the Japanese-style printed gauze curtain, and Ren Guozhong had to step out. Some bronze sacrificial vessels that were polished to a shine.There was the sound of paper fans tearing and tearing in the opposite room.Qian Wengui then lifted the bamboo curtain to the yard.The two walked out together, and a fiery breath rushed to their bodies.A few bees buzzed in the sun and rushed towards the window.Qian Wengui went straight to the arcade, and then exchanged knowing glances again.
