Chapter 53 52 wake up

When Gu Yong found the farmer's association to donate the land, the cooperative was full of people, the yard was also blocked, and people were standing outside the gate one by one.Everyone has their own needs, and everyone comes to them, hoping to get it right away, and the room inside can hardly even hear the words clearly.Seeing the crowd, Gu Yong was a little scared, but he still mustered up his breath and squeezed inside.He asked if Zhang Yumin was around, but no one answered him; he asked if Cheng Ren was around, but no one answered him.It was easy to squeeze in, but no one in charge was there, only Zhang Bugao was sitting on the kang, and the people around him explained their land to him one by one.Zhang Bugao said: "We have registered, we understand." But people are still repeating: "Our land is dry land! It is far away, we need to exchange some good land for us!" Zhang Bugao wrote down his opinion. , get better and go to the Land Appraisal Committee.Some people are explaining that what he rented is land outside the village. What should we do with this land?Zhang Bugao then wrote a letter of introduction for him, asking him to go to another village to get the red deed.With the deed, it is easy to talk and negotiate.Gu Yong stood among the crowd for a while, no one paid any attention to him, Zhang Bugao was too busy to look at him, he couldn't make up his mind again.He was afraid that it would be bad, so many people came against him, so what should we do?So he went out again, he squeezed out, he stood in the street, hesitating.He saw many people walking down the street and going to the primary school, so he followed suit.It turned out that the empty side yard had already been tidied up, and all the land appraisers were there.It was also full of people, some with business and some with nothing.They are curious, they watch, and they wait.Gu Yong still didn't dare to go over there, he looked at it from a distance for a long time, he knew all the people there, they were all good people, if he was alone, he would dare to talk to anyone.Now they are together, they are united, and there are a few comrades from the district behind them, it seems that those people have suddenly become taller, they have become powerful people, they have really become people who do things, and they are not humble They were talking and laughing, but none of them saw him, so they kept him standing far away. Alas, even Li Baotang looked down on others, so he became afraid again, and he had to slowly walk away. When he went back, he still thought: "Oh, forget it by fate, you can do whatever you want."

In fact, the people in the yard were talking about him at this time.The night before, the cadres and the land appraisers had held another meeting. They reclassified all the households in the village. There were a total of eight landlords, and some of them had been assigned wrongly before.There was a lot of debate about his status. Some people wanted to make him a landlord, while others said he should be a well-to-do middle peasant.From the point of view of exploitative relations, he can only be judged as a rich middle peasant, but in the end, he was so-so classified as a rich peasant, and part of his land should be taken.As for which piece of land to take, whether it is a good land or a bad land, it is up to the Land Evaluation Committee to decide.Therefore, while the land appraisal committee is counting the landowner's acres, they are also estimating some of the rich peasant's land, which includes him.

There were also some disputes between the working group and the cadres regarding the division of divisions.Yang Liang's opinion was to hand it over to the peasant association, but time did not allow them to do so.Comrade Zhang Pin once said that the land distribution work should preferably be completed within five days to one week.Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, if all work cannot be done properly, it will affect the autumn harvest, not to mention the war situation on Pingsui Road, which is a big problem.Therefore, such an important matter can only be decided at a meeting of a group of old and new cadres, and before the opinions can be collected, the action will start.Of course there are mistakes.Some people may have opinions, but they have no chance to speak; some people are worried about their own affairs, so they look for cadres and land appraisal committee members in all directions, so the courtyard is extremely lively and crowded.

Hou Zhongquan also came this day. He came to Zhang Yumin with two contracts, and looked at everyone with his eyes wide open. His son Hou Qinghuai shouted before he could speak: "Go back! What are you doing here?" He thought that his father came to him and told him to go back because he was not allowed to be a committee member.But the old man just smiled and stammered, "Oh, I can't imagine, what kind of world do you say this is!" Everyone asked him what was going on, and asked him to speak slowly, so he told him what he said in the morning. That rare thing, said it. Early in the morning, as soon as he came out of the house, he felt a person standing outside the door. He asked, "Who is it?" No one answered. He asked again, and the person walked in.The man never came, which surprised him. He hurried in and greeted again and again: "Oh! It's Uncle Diankui! Uncle Diankui, please come in and sit down." Hou Diankui said nothing. He followed him into the house, and instead of sitting on the kang, he pushed Hou Zhongquan down and pressed Hou Zhongquan on the kang, then he plopped down and kowtowed to him, and begged him: "Zhongquan! You can save me!" Oh! In the past, our whole family was sorry for you, please forgive us, we are too old to bear the struggle, you can do whatever you want, alas!..." Hou Zhongquan was frightened, and he pulled him quickly, but he couldn't get up , Just said: "Let's sit and talk, sit and talk!" The old man finally got up, but he refused to sit on the kang, and squatted on the ground, and Hou Zhongquan squatted with him.Both of them were old, they couldn't squat stably, and they both sat on the ground.Seeing his overly modest appearance, Hou Zhongquan felt sorry for him, and comforted him: "What are you afraid of? We are all one family. We have lived as before for decades. We can't make things difficult for you. Don't be afraid, we are clear. That kid Huai is not a good guy." At this moment Hou Zhongquan and his wife also came, and Hou Diankui kowtowed to her again, she was confused and stood there holding the door blankly.Hou Diankui then said how he was sorry for them in the past, he was sweet-mouthed, asked him to do a lot of things, but actually did not take care of them, their life was similar to that of beggars.He gave him two contracts with 14 mu of land, and he begged them to take it, to see him as old and to let him go, and to say something nice to the cadres.Hou Zhongquan didn't dare to keep the title deed, so he knelt down again, and wouldn't get up if he didn't keep it, ha... That old guy was crying.He made a fuss for a while before leaving, and went to another tenant's house. He was going to take this magic weapon and go from house to house to ask for a safe passage through this difficulty.He was frightened by the dramatic battle yesterday, and he knew that the crowd had already risen, and as long as he did any evil, people would trample him to death, like a bug.After he left, the old couple looked at each other. They were afraid they were dreaming. They turned over the land deed and chased to the door to look. As a result, they both laughed until they were both sad.Hou Zhongquan sat on the steps of the yard, wiping away his tears, recalling his hard life all his life.He was pulling camels in the desert, the wind and snow trampled him, he stepped on the wasteland, the dunes are endless, hope is like the skyline at dusk, getting more and more blurred.He thought about his illness, he almost died, he thought it would be better to die, but he is alive again, living is harder than dying!Gradually he believed in cause and effect, he put the truth in the invisible afterlife, and he used this fantasy to stabilize himself.But now, the next life has become a reality, and the retribution comes so quickly!This is something he did not dare to think about, he should be happy, he is indeed happy, but this happiness is no longer something he can bear, his tears flowed out of happiness, he came back to life, and his feelings recovered Now, he is not such a dead old man.But his wife was still muttering beside him: "Are you going to pay him back? Are you going to give him back! His father!" Hou Zhongquan tried his best to calm himself down. He walked out with the title deed, but his wife hurriedly chased him out, still saying He said: "You are still stubborn! You still dare not want it! Do you still believe in his consistent way?" He just said: "No, I will go to the peasant association, I will tell them, I will tell many people, this world is really wrong. It's overturned! Ha..."

After hearing what he said, everyone laughed and said, "Why don't you ask him, is it because of his good life that he is rich?" Someone also said: "Uncle Hou, why don't you follow him to ride a fierce horse to the west?" Some people also praised: "This old man is honest, he has been spoiled by him all his life, now he is awake!" Hou Qinghuai also laughed and said: "Father, the Bodhisattva is not ours, we burn incense every year, and he doesn't care about us at all. As soon as Chairman Mao’s password comes, someone will give us land, Chairman Mao is our Bodhisattva, we will offer to Chairman Mao if we ask for it in the future, father, what do you think?” Hou Zhongquan didn’t answer anyone, just Smiling foolishly, someone finally asked him: "This land is going to be distributed to you, will you return it to others?" He just shook his head vigorously, and replied: "No! No! The land that was as big as yesterday Yes, can't you wake me up? Ha..."

These things were spread, and many things were spread, which encouraged people and strengthened their confidence.
