Chapter 55 54 selfish

The office of the Land Evaluation Committee has been seldom visited since the group meeting took place.They successfully completed the preparations for land distribution, calculated the land that could be distributed and ranked them in order, and calculated the land distribution households and classified them into grades.This group of people really didn't have any plans of their own, and they also hoped for a fair share.Especially for an old man like Guo Quan, who has no children himself, and the nephew he brought up has grown up and is now in charge of the village. He has a few trees of his own and is already very satisfied. He only has one heart: "Alas, Chairman Mao has been worrying about us from afar. Can we ignore the affairs of our own village? It will make life easier for everyone, and Chairman Mao can rest assured!" But he is a good old man with a bad memory, and he is willing to give to everyone. something good.So when he came home for dinner, people often came to him, and he answered well: "Don't worry, my son, you're indispensable. We'll tell you, but we can't make up our minds, it's everyone's business. But when the land was distributed, he really wanted to say: "Give him water land, his family has few people." His nephew often said to him: "Look at you, are there any poor people here? There are only these lands, good and bad have to be matched." Or simply said to him: "Oh, you old man, take a break."

There are fewer idlers in the land evaluation committee, only the cadres still come here frequently.The victory of the struggle meeting made every cadre straighten his waist, as if he was the head of the whole village, so he didn't pay much attention to the advice of literary talent.It was difficult for Cheng Ren and Zhang Yumin to tell them to go away, they were all brothers and boys, they came, stood for a while, listened for a while, interjected a few words, and sometimes they were helpful to work.Just because they are often here, whenever the land is distributed to them, the land evaluation committee has to find a good land for them, regardless of their family's situation.They themselves are always silent, that is, they do not refuse.At such a time, Wen Cai had no choice but to say earnestly: "Old Uncle Guo! Don't always be a good person. Of course the cadres are all our own people, but we also have to look at the family situation. Don't let everyone say that we are partial, then we will be in vain. It's exhausting."

Guo Quan stroked his beard and became troubled. He looked at everyone, but no one spoke.Guo Fugui is the most active member here, but he said: "Correctors, there must be a difference. They worry about us all year round and work harder than anyone else. How many missed jobs! Let's see, it's so good. " At this time, Li Baotang also said: "Yes, they are ministers with meritorious service, they should be rewarded according to their merits, hey..." Zhang Yumin often goes to the group for meetings, so he understands that the masses are already monitoring the cadres, and it is impossible to do anything without passing them.But he is often not here, unable to take care of him.These matters should be decided by Cheng Ren.Since Cheng Ren made up his mind that night, he broke through his previous worries, exposed Qian Wengui's conspiracy at the meeting, and expressed his indomitable attitude, which had a great impact on the mood of the masses.Everyone said he was a hero, and he was also satisfied with everyone's support for him, and felt that he had done nothing to offend everyone.He wanted to do his job well, and he was willing to listen carefully to the comrades in the working group, which he did.He arrives at meetings on time, doesn't argue with others, and cleans the house all by him.But he doesn't like to talk, and when he should insist on certain opinions, no one will know, and no one will pay attention, what is the reason for this.Since the meeting, with his many positive thoughts, he also has some degree of restlessness. He often grits his teeth quietly and thinks: "Oh, never mind, we are heartless people anyway. !" He was thinking about Heini, he didn't know how she lived with her second uncle now, she must hate him.He regretted forgetting to look at her at the convention, where was she standing?Always be with the women's class, how was she when her second uncle was scolded and beaten by the crowd?She is a poor child with no mother and no father. She used to suffer with that bad uncle, and now she has to suffer even more.He, Cheng Ren was right to attack Qian Wengui, but he didn't help her and pushed her into pain.He felt very sorry, and he didn't have the courage to inquire about her situation, but he couldn't think about these questions all at once.This knot that is not easy to untie hinders his enthusiasm.He was not as strong as he expected, and often became the tail of the crowd.

Originally, there was a relatively resolute and ruthless person here, and that was Liu Man.But this impatient person, because of his troubles and anxiety for more than 20 days, and his life was abnormal, he fought with all his strength, and he was the vanguard in this fierce battle; he won, but his strength was exhausted.He was tired and had a headache and a pain in his chest.After sitting for a while, he felt bloated and uncomfortable, so he quietly slipped to the porch at the back of the house to sleep.It was very cool and quiet under the shade of the tree. He was as carefree as a chronically ill man, looking at the clear sky swept by the treetops.Sometimes when someone criticized him, he would just touch his chest lightly and answer without words.He needs to rest, and in a proper rest, let's restore his heroic spirit.

One day, they assigned the land to Zhao Quangong, who happened to be here.They gave him two acres of orchard and two acres of landscape land.Zhao Quangong didn't want fruit land; they had to find him a piece of land with two and a half acres of water.Zhao Quangong thought it was too little, so he tried his best to be wordy.Guo Quan told him that the land was good and the waterway was good, so he persuaded him to take it, saying that it was not easy to find the right one, so he insisted on not wanting it.At that time, Qian Wenhu was beside him, and he said in a daze, "If he doesn't want it, you can give it to us." They agreed.After searching for a long time, he found a piece of water land with three and a half mu for Zhao Quangong. Zhao Quangong was delighted and rushed to the field to see it.After looking at it, I was not happy. The land was indeed not bad, but it was too close to the river bank, and a part of it had been washed away by the water. There were seven or eight parts of the land, and there was still the danger of being washed away.He was in a hurry, and ran back in a hurry, yelling as soon as he walked in.

"What are you kidding me about?" He asked for the piece that Qian Wenhu had given to him again, but they persuaded him to ask for an orchard, but he refused.They discussed with Qian Wenhu, but Qian Wenhu refused, saying: "The fight was made for you alone, and you picked the land of the whole village?" Zhao Quangong usually looked down on this honest man, so he said fiercely: "Why don't you give it to me? You still want to rely on What about your uncle and elder brother's power? In the past, because you were a family, you couldn't fight, but now that the fight is over, and you come to divide the land, you don't deserve it!"

This made Qian Wenhu anxious, how could he suffer this injustice, he shouted: "Okay, change the land, fine! Let's exchange all the family property and see who is really poor! You divided Xu Youwu's orchard last year, five points, Another five acres of vineyards were set up, and this year’s spring was divided into one mu and eighty percent of the land. You have three acres of landscape land, and you are still a poor peasant! Aren’t we fighting like you? I divided up this spring’s eighth Land, one stone of grain, exchange, if you want to exchange all, or if you don’t exchange, don’t exchange at all!"

"You say we are not poor peasants, but are we landlords? Okay, you come to fight us and divide our land, okay! You want to avenge your uncle and brother!" "Fart your mother! Don't bully people!" Qian Wenhu jumped over to beat him.Li Baotang and Guo Quan gathered around to persuade: "Stop arguing and make others laugh!" Guo Fugui hugged Qian Wenhu.Hou Qinghuai pulled Zhao Quangong.Ren Tianhua is a person who does not talk but does things, so he couldn't help being angry at this moment.He pushed the abacus away, put down the pen, and scolded: "We are doing things for the whole village, not for you selfish people. Let's quit, hold a meeting and ask them to re-elect, we can't do it !” Cheng Ren also lost his temper and said, “You guys are making such a fuss. Comrade Wen said he didn’t want you to come, but if you want to come, you worry about your own few acres of land; you’ve lost the face of our cadres! You all Get out, this is not a place for you to fight! You go outside and fight!" He then changed his tone: "Good brothers, brothers, have we forgotten that we are brothers of life and death? Why are our elbows bent outward? We must be of one mind and fight for Zhima If there is a little bit of land, there will be disunity. This is called a turnaround! Let’s stop talking about it. Comrade Wen is back and criticized. As cadres, we can take whatever land is allocated, and don’t want it if we don’t. You see Zhang The third brother has never been allocated a piece of land, but this spring he was allocated a stone of grain, and he ate it up long ago, without saying anything, we have to learn from him.” Like Zhang Yumin, he himself was only allocated a stone of grain.

The two men couldn't stand the crowd's persuasion, so they didn't fight.Zhao Quangong knew that he was short-sighted and had no sympathy. He walked out quietly and said, "Don't give us any more land. We don't want anything. We haven't turned over for decades, and we haven't starved to death. It's okay if we don't turn over." Money Wen Hu sat angrily and didn't leave, he didn't speak, he thought: "How can we suffer all the time because of uncle and brother!" This matter spread again before Wen Cai came back from the group. Once in the group, it was spread twice, then twice, and then slowly to the family. So there were discussions in the alleys and small courtyards. They also encouraged each other and said: "Just a few land evaluation committee members will not do. If they don't report to us, we don't want them. Just let them turn over a few cadres. Let's not go to meetings in the future and see whose cadres they are go!"

This matter was announced by Wencai Yang Liang, and the result of the land distribution must be approved by the peasant association before the decision, and everyone was happy again, and they helped the group leader to divide the floating money quickly.
