Chapter 11 Chapter Nine Difficulties in Love

There is a song that says so, who doesn't say that my hometown is good.Indeed, our Chinese nation is a nation that attaches great importance to "family", especially filial piety, family affection, and nostalgia for the homeland.Even a great man who has achieved success and fame will attach great importance to "returning leaves to their roots", let alone ordinary people and common people. Whether it is the Three Gorges immigrants or other immigrants, as long as they are immigrants, the first thing they face is to say goodbye to their homeland and their original homeland.And this is precisely what the Chinese people taboo the most. In order to defend their homeland and stick to their homeland, they even sacrifice their lives.

The first thing to do in the Three Gorges resettlement work is to persuade people in the reservoir area to leave their homes and hometowns.People who don't know the situation in the Three Gorges area generally believe that the Three Gorges area is poor, and it will not be a problem for the people to relocate.The actual situation is just the opposite. Almost all the immigrants from the Three Gorges Reservoir area originally lived in relatively good places.What is different from other reservoirs is that the Three Gorges Reservoir is built on a river, that is, on the basis of the Yangtze River itself. After the construction of a high dam in Sandouping, Yichang, it uses the 630-kilometer section of the river between Yichang and Chongqing to store water, so that the Yangtze River can be stored here. A section forms a huge high-water level reservoir area to achieve the purpose of "power generation and flood control from the bottom, and flood discharge from the top".The migrants in the reservoir area are the people in the submerged area caused by the impoundment of this section of the river.

As everyone knows, since ancient times, human beings have a tradition of inhabiting and multiplying along rivers and using water to promote prosperity. It is because of following this law that the splendid culture and glorious history of the Chinese nation have existed.This is because the places close to the rivers are good beaches, which can be planted and cultivated, and there will always be both people and animals. As the saying goes, there is water and there is vitality.Not to mention the area around the Three Gorges, the reason why the Ba people, who had no shelter and were surrounded by enemies, settled down on both sides of the gorge, was because in addition to being able to defend and attack, there were rich lands near the river.Zhuge Liang's persuasion of Liu Bei's decision to settle here was more based on this unique geographical advantage.

After the completion of the Three Gorges Dam, almost all the flooded areas along the river were the best areas near the river, the most fertile beaches and dams.The first thing immigrants encounter is the feeling of not giving up their homeland. In the initial stage of the construction of the Three Gorges Project, the country's immigration policy was basically "residing on the spot", that is, moving back from the residential area below the 175-meter water storage line and moving to higher slopes and hills.What are the back slopes and the back hills?It goes without saying that there are very few places where the slope is below 25 degrees.The key is that these places are either barren or bald, where are people staying!

Immigrants cannot accept the reality of saying goodbye to the past "no tilling and cooking naturally" homes. However, the move cannot be changed.So the problem arises- Wang Xuecai, the deputy director of the immigration station in Pu'an Township, Yunyang County, who was on CCTV's "Eastern Son" program, gave me an example to illustrate the problem.The village he lives in is called Yaoping, which is an ordinary village among the thousands of villages in the Three Gorges Reservoir area.For thousands of years, people have been accustomed to the life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, earning their own living, and living in peace when they are full and warm.But the Three Gorges Project broke this tranquility. The superiors asked the whole village to abandon the cultivated land and move to the hillside above the 175-meter submerged line.Lao Wang told me that their Yaoping Village is basically below the flood line, and all arable fields are also in this position.After the Three Gorges immigration policy was promulgated, what the whole village faced was to bid farewell to the original living place and retreat to the hills on the back bank.What is that place?It was a rocky hill with a steep slope.The villagers yelled at the cadres, saying that we are willing to respond to the country's call, but how can we live on the rocky hills?Why build a house?How do you farm?Nothing!Can the cadres have the great ability to build a home for the villagers on the rocky hills like before?So the problem came out.

But the method still needs to be considered, and the experience of the country's immigration pilot program has also been borrowed, that is, to reclaim land on this steep slope that can be used to build a house, settle down, plant and harvest.Who will reclaim the barren hills?Needless to say, the villagers should be mobilized to do it themselves.How are the common people in China? Once the national policy came into effect, everyone mobilized as soon as the cadres were mobilized: each household provided 8 working days of labor per month, and there were regulations, and those who could not complete the tasks were paid every day. Pay a fine of 5 yuan every working day.The peasants in the Xiajiang area are the place where the most migrant workers go south. The rest of the families are old and young, and new problems have emerged.what way?Keep mobilizing!As a result, village cadres like Wang Xuecai had to work from house to house.Even if you do work, no one will pay attention to you!The cadres had no choice but to take the lead in action, starting with me.Then find your own relatives to take the lead, and relatives will lead relatives to take the lead. In this way, one household will lead the other. Individual "nail households" have to be assisted by the cadres to complete the task without sweat and labor.

Wang Xuecai went from an ordinary village cadre to a national advanced immigration cadre. He was interviewed by the central leadership and appeared on the TV program "Son of the East" because he made his village look better in "Relying on the spot". The village in the past was even better. The whole village lived a happier life and had a more beautiful home than in the past.But Wang Xuecai told me that in the ten years since 1991, he himself has become the poorest household from the richest household in the village. The village realized the "immigrant dream" of "relying on the spot" and having a better home, and he had to go bankrupt.The villagers had no funds to open up wasteland and cultivate land, so he borrowed money to send seedlings; if the funds for road construction were not in place, he put it on hold.With these seven pads and eight gifts, all the deposits of my family flowed out. "We are party members, and getting the villagers to move out of the reservoir submerged line in accordance with the call of the state is the top priority. We must dare to give up our small family for everyone." Wang Xuecai said that he used to be very strong, weighing about 70 kilograms, but after doing immigration work , lost to 49 kg.Under his leadership, Yaoping Village has become an advanced immigrant village in the entire reservoir area. The living standard, living environment, and cultivated area of ​​each household are better than before, and the immigrants are 100% satisfied.

Later, because of his outstanding work, Wang Xuecai was recruited by the township to be the deputy head of the township immigration station.Afterwards, the jobs will be different. There are a lot of immigrants in the township, and some villages can't even find the rocky hillocks where they can "rely on the spot", so a group of people have to relocate to other places.Wang Xuecai's task was to mobilize a group of immigrants to Jiangjin City in Chongqing. "This time the work is very difficult!" Wang Xuecai introduced to me, "In the local area, it is very difficult to move a home. It is emotionally reluctant for the villagers to leave their homeland and move to a place they are not familiar with. Originally, Jiangjin is also within the area of ​​Chongqing City, not too far away, and the conditions there are much better than those in Yunyang, but the immigrants are not willing to part with the homeland they are used to. In order to allow the immigrants to move smoothly,” Lao Wang said , "We first went to Jiangjin to choose a good place where we could build a house and cultivate land. Naturally, every house should be built better and more spacious than before. But the immigrants have higher requirements, and they began to send representatives to We chose the land to see the model house, and everyone was satisfied. After the house was built, someone suggested that there was a road and water in front of our house in the past, but now the road is behind the house, and the water is invisible. We are not used to it. We had to Discuss with the local area to divert water. Some immigrants are satisfied with everything, and suddenly propose that there is a forest in front of their original home, which can be cool in summer and shelter from wind in winter. They hope that there will be a forest in front of their new home, otherwise they will not We moved. We went back to Jiangjin, and designed each household according to the requirements of the immigrants. In this way, it took a year and seven months. When I led the immigrants to visit the new home for the 17th time At that time, everyone just nodded and said that this is the same as our home in Yunyang, we have everything we should have, and what we don’t have in Yunyang’s hometown, we have it here too, let’s move!”

"The nostalgia and feelings of immigrants for their hometown can sometimes be unimaginable no matter how detailed your work is." Lao Wang's experience in this regard could not be more profound. In 2000, he accepted the task of arranging 1,300 immigrants to settle in Jiangxi.As soon as someone heard about Jiangxi, they shouted: We are from the Three Gorges. We used to be from Sichuan, but now we are from Chongqing.Both Sichuan and Chongqing are stronger than Jiangxi.Let us leave our hometown in the Three Gorges and settle in a poor place, we disagree.Lao Wang said that not all places in Jiangxi are worse than Sichuan and Chongqing, and some places in Sichuan and Chongqing are not as good as Shaanxi and Gansu!Later, Lao Wang and others worked one by one to mobilize immigration representatives to visit the relocation site in Xi'an, Jiangxi.Immigrants were overjoyed and said after seeing it: I never thought that there is such a good place in Jiangxi!In the end, 1,144 people took the initiative to settle down in Jiangxi.

In contrast, Zheng Changsheng, Party Secretary of Yanghe Village, Wushan, encountered villagers who were reluctant to leave their hometown and love their homes.Lao Zheng is less than 50 years old this year, and his "official" position is also the lowest level in the entire reservoir area, but his reputation in the Three Gorges reservoir area is not even less influential than the mayor of Chongqing.Because everyone knows that Lao Zheng is now the "governor". I knew he was the "governor" in Beijing before I started the interview, and the first thing I said when I saw him was to ask him what was going on with a smile.

Old Zheng Hanhan smiled: "Because there is a word 'province' in my name, we were the first to do the resettlement work in the village, which belongs to early relocation, so the villagers said that I was the governor's heart, and as time went on, everyone just called me 'Governor'. At first, there was some sarcasm, and later the villagers tasted the sweetness from the early relocation, and when everyone called me 'Governor', it was more of a kind of kindness and hope..." Later I learned that the "Governor" Zheng was really different, he really had the extraordinary bearing and insight of a governor. Yanghe Village, where Lao Zheng lives, is on a dam that is full of grass and sheep. After the Three Gorges Reservoir is impounded, more than half of the village's good land will be flooded.The villagers are emotionally unacceptable.In order to let the villagers live a better life in the future, Lao Zheng ran all over the village, looking left and right, and finally settled on a large cemetery at the village.The cemetery is above the submerged line, and the "feng shui" is good. Once the Three Gorges Reservoir is completed, the place will be surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there will be a different scene.Lao Zheng called the cadres and village representatives of the village together to discuss the idea of ​​building a new village on the flat cemetery. The cadres and masses in the village are all immigrants from the Three Gorges. Of course, everyone is very happy to "rely on the spot" and not leave their homeland, but they have ideas about moving graves and building houses proposed by Lao Zheng, mainly because no one wants to move graves. Sure enough, as soon as the decision was made, the villagers started arguing: "The construction of the Three Gorges Project is a major national event. We support it and are willing to be immigrants. We must not lose our homes, but dig up the graves of our ancestors!" Some people even threatened that whoever dares to move the graves of their ancestors will smash his head first!These words were obviously addressed to Old Zheng, the village party secretary. Some people said that moving the grave and building a house will definitely not work. Everyone understands that the graves of Lao Zheng's parents are also in that cemetery. Although Lao Zheng is "active", his six brothers and sisters are all dutiful sons. A filial daughter may not be like him, "I don't even want my ancestors"! The immigrants in the whole village secretly watched whether Lao Zheng's own family could pass this test! "Come on, I'm here to offer a toast to my brothers and sisters. I hope you will support my work more, and let our parents who raised us have a better place to rest..." One day, Old Zheng prepared a table for the banquet. The son called his six brothers and sisters home, straight to the point and said with a toast. "Brother, you have been a village cadre for so many years and we have relied on you for everything. You know this in your heart. It is not difficult for us to be an immigrant from the Three Gorges, but we cannot agree to move the grave. You don't know, our parents They passed away only a few years ago, and the souls of the two elderly people have not yet settled down. If you want to move their soil, we won’t allow it.” The youngest siblings first stood up to object, and no one moved the hot meal. Chopsticks. The eldest brother Lao Zheng couldn't find a useful word to say to his brothers and sisters.Lao Zheng's hand holding the wine glass trembled for a long time, but finally put it down.He knew how his brothers and sisters felt about their deceased father and mother, but he had no choice but to kneel down in front of them in tears: "...good brothers and sisters, I feel the same as you. But think about it, the Three Gorges Reservoir is about to die. Start work, the parents' graves will be moved sooner or later, we can't let the old man's graves be soaked in water in the future! That is truly unfilial. Besides, if the graves are not moved, everyone will not be able to rebuild a good home. Parents are alive , won’t be peaceful, will you? Look at me as a brother, I must choose a better geomantic treasure to let our parents and the ancestors of the whole village rest in peace. Ah, I beg you as a brother This time!" Old Zheng kowtowed to his brothers and sisters while wiping away his tears... What do brothers and sisters say?I cried for a while.But they can't dig their parents' graves by themselves.So Lao Zheng had no choice but to hire a few migrant workers from other places to take the lead in digging up his parents' graves with picks and shovels, and then moved them to a new cemetery. All the villagers saw this scene.Later, when Lao Zheng mobilized everyone to move the grave, most of them cooperated very well.But there are also some people who refuse to do it, and even open their mouths whenever they see Lao Zheng coming to the door, saying that it is enough for you as cadres to let us move and move, and it is enough to dig up graves and ancestral graves, heaven and earth will not tolerate it! Lao Zheng had no choice but to do his work time and time again.When others scold, he listens silently; when others scold thirsty, he brings a bowl of water;To put it bluntly, people had to nod and say yes. Then move? Moving, I can agree to you, but we have a request: In any case, it is unfilial to let people who are buried in the ground move and relocate.Your branch secretary has to wear sackcloth and filial piety for our ancestors, otherwise we won't move! Old Zheng let out a sigh of relief, knowing that was the only way to go.For the sake of the Three Gorges Project, and to complete the task of immigrating millions, I, Old Zheng, should be the filial son of those dead souls in the village! So every time a coffin was raised in the village, Lao Zheng, according to the local customs, dressed in linen and mourning all over his body, and escorted the coffin all the way to the new burial place for burial.Then he knelt down with both legs and kowtowed three times... Lao Zheng did this one by one in all 34 tombs in the village. When Lao Zheng was about to move the 35th tomb, the descendants of the tomb owner refused to do anything, and a large family came out to stop him: "I don't care if you have the ability to break ground on other people's ancestral tombs. But if you want to dig my family's ancestral grave, even if your surname Zheng sneaks under my crotch, I won't let you move a shovel of dirt!" Lao Zheng, who has been a "filial son" for more than 20 days, couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "The whole village wants to live in new houses, and now I'm waiting for your grave to be leveled. In this way, I, Lao Zheng, plead for your mercy for the whole village's immigrants. Is it okay to be the grandson of your ancestors?" There is a custom in Xiajiang that those who are filial sons wear hemp and filial piety, and those who are virtuous grandchildren have to kneel down and walk through the brazier!That's no joke. "Even if you let the whole family come out to be the filial sons and grandsons of Lao Tzu, it won't work!" Facing a big family of more than 70 people, the helpless Lao Zheng had to temporarily put down his shovel.Turning the mourning face that he had just played as a filial son into a smiling face again, he invited several elders and principals of the family to his home, and prepared two tables of banquets sumptuously.But people don't care about this at all, they eat and eat, and wipe their mouths after eating, they still don't let the grave be moved.Lao Zheng wanted to cry but had no tears. He thought about it, but there was no result.One day he heard that someone in the family was working in the County Public Security Bureau, so Lao Zheng rushed to the county overnight to explain the principles of immigration to this comrade.He is a party member and cadre, and his consciousness is different after all: "Secretary Zheng, don't talk too much, I know the truth about the Three Gorges immigration. Let's go, I will go back to the village with you tonight to do the work of family relatives and uncles!" With the help of this comrade, the family members finally agreed to move the grave.But when digging the grave, another strange phenomenon appeared: the hundred-year-old grave was built with lime, and a dog-leaf tree grew on the grave, and the roots grew down along the cracks in the stone, covering exactly half of the grave. .After the cover was removed, the family members saw this "spectacle" and shouted again, insisting that this was their family's "feng shui" that has lasted for thousands of years, and no one could move it!And whoever moves this "feng shui" will surely be "destroyed by heaven and earth".Dozens of people will not let Lao Zheng and the others pick up the grave no matter what. Lao Zheng was so anxious that he could do nothing, he knelt on the ground with a "plop", and begged with tears in his eyes: "Uncles, uncles, aunts and sisters-in-law, if the roots of this tree are really your 'feng shui', if you touch it, something will happen, I will Old Zheng is willing to pledge the lives of his entire family to you!" The kneeling of the village party secretary Lao Zheng really moved those members of the family who still have a bit of materialism, and they started working with each other: Forget it, the "governor" is determined to help everyone build a new village on the ground, and it is for everyone Well, I believe the ancestors will forgive us for this point. When the century-old coffin was dug out and lifted up from the grave, Lao Zheng, dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, was still kneeling there meticulously... Fortunately, nothing happened, and "feng shui" still made people in this family... Forgive Lao Zheng. After moving the last tomb, it was already late at night when Lao Zheng returned home, his stomach growling with hunger.He gently pushed open the door of the house that hadn't come back for more than ten days, and went straight to the small kitchen without turning on the light, lifted the lid of the pot, reached out and grabbed the things inside, and ate thoroughly.After he finished, he was afraid of waking up his wife and children, so he shyly got into bed and lay down.But in less than an hour, I felt something was wrong with my stomach, "gurgling" sound, and acid water appeared in my stomach from time to time... "Dad, when did you come back? Why are you tossing and turning? Stomach pain?" The daughter was woken up, leaning on the bed and asking. "What's in that pot? When I eat it... it hurts... Ouch..." Lao Zheng couldn't help it, and rolled on the bed. When the daughter heard it, she yelled, and started to cry, "Dad, those are leftovers that have been rotten for a few days, and they are going to be fed to pigs! What are you eating them for? Woo Woo..." Old Zheng couldn't help laughing at himself: "Silly girl, why are you crying? It's because Dad was hungry after moving Murakami's grave that he ate the wrong thing!" The daughter cried even harder: "Dad, can't you feel sorry for yourself? I'm so sad. Huh..." Thanks to the piety and sincerity of Lao Zheng, the villagers got their psychological balance, and the work of relocation and building a new village was carried out smoothly. After an autumn and winter, the neat new immigrant village stands on a high hillside, as beautiful as the castle seen in foreign movies.At this time, the villagers had a new opinion: Secretary Zheng, you can't be biased, the old house we lived in used to have good Fengshui, and now it can't be worse than others! The problem was presented to the "governor". Lao Zheng has worked in the village for decades, so he understands the thoughts of farmers very well.He had an idea and said: Tomorrow everyone will go to the village committee for a meeting. The villagers all came to see him the next day. I saw Lao Zheng with his hands on his waist, and said loudly: "In order to distribute the houses and homesteads in the new village fairly and equitably, I have numbered the new houses in advance. Everyone knows, let me, Lao Zheng, live exactly as everyone lived in the past. There is no way to divide the houses and homesteads according to whether they are good or bad. Not to mention me as a fake governor, even if the real governor comes, I don’t think he has the ability. Because it is impossible for us Three Gorges immigrants to keep the old homesteads that everyone lived in in the past. But there is one thing that everyone understands better than me. The new village we built for immigrants is better than the houses we used to live in. It also has running water, and there are spacious roads in front of and behind the house. So we just I can cover my heart and do things with conscience, so that everyone will be convinced. What is the solution? My old Zheng only has one simple way: drawing lots. Some people say that although drawing lots is head-to-head, I hope that I will be more lucky. Well, I have thought about it in advance. : This time we do not draw lots once to determine the world, but draw lots twice. The first draw of lots is to determine the serial number of the official lottery, and the second draw of lots is to determine the house number and homestead according to the serial number drawn previously. Look at this, everyone. no?" "Haha, 'Governor', you are very thoughtful, believe me, catch it!" "Yes, catch it." Lao Zheng smiled with satisfaction, and said: "Okay, everyone has no opinion on the method of drawing lots. However, in order to ensure everyone's peace of mind in the process of drawing lots, I want to do this. Let's see if it works—" Lao Zheng took the lottery first. Take out a pair of chopsticks and an iron box with only one small hole. The "Governor" is playing magic tricks!The villagers gathered around to watch curiously. "Do you understand what it means?" Lao Zheng made everyone laugh. "Hee hee, I don't understand." Everyone shook their heads. So Old Zheng said solemnly: "Putting your hand into the box to draw lots is easy to make people feel that it is fake, but it can't be faked if you draw lots with chopsticks! If you don't believe me, try it!" But no, chopsticks draw lots, absolutely one is one! A matter that was originally difficult, after Lao Zheng's ups and downs, the villagers were full of enthusiasm and learned from Lao Zheng's lottery, and voluntarily chose their new homestead.And there is a very eye-catching permanent sign slab at the door of each household, which reads: XX, in response to the call of the country, was honored as an immigrant from the Three Gorges, and moved to the new village in XX.How many rooms are there now, and how many people are there in total?The area of ​​the original flooded house is in square meters, the subsidy for the flooded house is how much, the area of ​​relocation is in square meters, the structure of bricks and tiles, how much is the cost and so on. The villagers of Yanghe not only have such a glorious "Three Gorges immigrant" stone slab in every household, but also under the leadership of Zheng Changsheng, they used the years of early relocation to relocate while others were still weeping for the bitter farewell to their homeland. Embarked on the road to wealth. Although the immigrants in Yanghe Village established their feelings for their new home earlier than others, their feelings when they bid farewell to their homeland were also inseparable. They were more fortunate than others to have a good "governor". Another interesting thing happened in Wushan. A young rural couple, when they were included in the immigration list by the government, they had not been married for a long time.Unexpectedly, this loving couple almost broke up and divorced because of the immigration issue. The cause of the incident was this: when the village cadres asked for their opinions on where to move, the young couple quickly agreed that they wanted to go to Guangdong.After contacting, the immigration officials told me that it was possible.The young couple was very happy after hearing this. Later, the cadres asked each household to send a representative to the "Xinjia" to go through the formalities of "settlement" with the local government. Just go, you have to pick a better floor and a bigger room.the wife commanded. Husband said that's all you need to talk about. The immigrant relocation to Guangdong this time is for the benefit of future generations. It is not only related to our life! A few days later, my husband called back from Guangdong and said that Guangdong is really good, and the local government treats our Three Gorges immigrants very well.The husband said at least a dozen "yes" on the phone. At the end, he said: The people who came together, they will go back to Wushan first because they are afraid of spending money. I am coming out for the first time. I plan to stay for a few more days and go to Guangzhou to have fun. a play.Look at Guangdong, people are too open, hee hee, let me tell you: We live in the guest house of the town government, and every night there are girls who call to ask "do you want any service?"Hee hee, I heard that it's even worse in the city, the lady will pull you away on the street!Dog Day is open here!Hey, it's done, I'll stay here for a few more days... The phone just hung up. open?Miss?Guangdong is like this!The little daughter-in-law put down the phone, and after thinking about it, everything from the top of her head to the soles of her feet became cold: What a bitch, he thought so hard about Guangdong, so he wanted to "open up" with the lady!Turtle son, I won't move anymore! "Bah! No matter what you say, don't move!" When the immigration officer came to the newlyweds' house again, the young daughter-in-law was uncharacteristically, not even letting the door in, and gnashing her teeth when she spoke. The little husband came back with a happy face, and he brought a lot of things in big and small bags. The little daughter-in-law didn't take good care of him. At night, she quietly opened the big and small bags: lipstick!It must be the wild turtle son who wants to curry favor with those "ladies".Ah, and condoms! "You damn ghost! You are a shameless god-killer!" The young daughter-in-law angrily threw a big bag on her husband's head, then pulled up the quilt, and cried loudly, shaking the silent mountain village. Woke up. "Are you crazy?" The inexplicable little husband couldn't help shouting. "Well, you son of a bitch, you are wild before your family moved to Guangdong? You are wild, wild—" The little daughter-in-law really went crazy, and she stepped forward and bit her little husband's arm. "Ouch—" The little husband couldn't help kicking her because of the pain.The wife let go, but his arm was bleeding. "Tell me clearly, what are you doing in Guangdong?" The little daughter-in-law persisted, standing up from the ground and continuing to ask. "What do you think I'm doing? Do you know when I go to An's house?" The little husband, who was full of injustice, had tears in his eyes. "Then you still have lipstick and condoms in your bag." The little daughter-in-law chased after her. "You... are you arguing with me about this? Huh, what a fool!" The little husband sat on the ground as if paralyzed, shaking his head, "I really wanted to give you a trip to Chongqing when I got married. Buy a lipstick, and pick up a foreign brand in Guangzhou to bring back by the way, I didn’t think you would read evil..." "Then...what's the matter with the condom!" "This, this... No, people in the city can play it. I saw that it was different from what we used to use, so I bought a few and came back to try..." "You son of a bitch!" The little daughter-in-law laughed out loud, her face flushed. For the first time, the turmoil of "docking" in Guangdong subsided like this, but the worry of the little daughter-in-law has not been relieved.Especially seeing that my man went out to Xiajiang three times in a row under the sign of going to Guangdong to see the new house in the next six months, and every time he came back, he either thought she was dirty or how fashionable Guangdong was.What makes the little daughter-in-law suspicious the most is that every time he comes back to make out at night, he always "changes his tricks".So she decided: Don't immigrate to Guangdong, otherwise he will turn bad! She tossed and turned sleeplessly that night.Seeing him beside him snoring like thunder from being exhausted by "Flowers", he couldn't help feeling angry from his chest.break his leg?In this way, he will never think of playing "tricks" in Guangdong!But when she thought about it, no way.In that case, he would have to serve him for the rest of his life.Cut that thing with scissors?No way, it will be the husband and wife who will suffer in the future... What should I do?The little daughter-in-law thought about it for a long time, and suddenly remembered that when she was a child, her father used a sharp knife to break a tendon on the hind leg of a piggy that was always jumping through hoops when she was a child. Hee, this is a good move: not only can he be controlled, but it can be a big deal. Before dawn, she quietly got out of bed, took out a pair of scissors from the cabinet, pointed at the sole of the man's foot, and picked it hard... "Oh my god!" The man howled and rolled from the bed to the bottom of the bed in pain. The cadre came forward and asked the little daughter-in-law what happened? "I... I was afraid that he would turn bad after immigrating to Guangdong, so..." the young daughter-in-law finally uttered her true feelings. The cadres couldn't laugh or cry. Although this "husband and wife private case" ended with mutual understanding and happiness between the two parties.However, among immigrants, it is not uncommon for one party like this to worry that the other party will "become bad" after moving to another country, especially an open area. This is what happened to the migrants from the Three Gorges at the turn of the century.The story sounds a bit bizarre, but the problem it reflects is very real, that is, people in some previously backward and closed areas, once they arrive in a relatively open place, their concepts and behaviors change.Some immigrants are confused by this, because they are afraid of leaving their hometown, the way of life in the Three Gorges area they are used to, and they are afraid of changing the original form and content of emotional expression among relatives. In the reservoir area, an immigrant cadre told me this: There were two families in their area who were supposed to leave in the first batch of relocation, but when the third batch of relocation was in July 2002, they still had not signed a contract with the town government. The cadres were so anxious that they didn't know what to do about the "Agreement on Cancellation of Residential Relocation".Determining the immigration quota is like issuing a military order, and at that time, people must go through the household registration.It is a trivial matter for the cadres to be laid off if they cannot complete the task. The house to be received has been built and the land has been set aside, and all the money that should be spent has been spent.If a family procrastinates so long and doesn't move, isn't it a big deal to follow suit later? The cadres were so anxious that they scolded their mothers, but they just ignored them.You scold me, I pretend I didn't hear you.If I really want to hear it, I won't leave.Immigrants say so.Cadres had to go to work again and again.Eat and live there, grind and grind with the master day and night, until you let go. After I heard about it, I really wanted to see what happened to these two households.So I went to the two immigrant families. The two immigrant families knew that I was from Beijing, not an immigration cadre, so they didn't have any resistance, so they told me the reason why it has been delayed until today: It turned out that these two families were a pair of old sisters who married together from another village to this dam along the river in the early days of liberation.Although the two old sisters are not biological sisters, they are brothers and sisters.The two elders are now seventy-five or sixteen years old, and they walk tremblingly, but according to the people in the village, they were the famous "iron girls" in the village when they were young. During the Great Leap Forward in the 1950s, they followed the men to build mountains and fields, and even went to the county town to participate in labor competitions and won awards!Their children were all born at that time. Coincidentally, they were both a boy and a girl.The son of the Zhang family was named Fu, and the son of the Li family was named Gui, implying the meaning of expecting "richness" for future generations.The Three Gorges Reservoir area was originally an economically backward area. During the three years of natural disasters in the early 1960s, the men in the village went out to the river to support their families. The husbands of the two sisters went out on the same boat. None.The two sisters who lost their husbands depended on each other ever since, cooking rice together, feeding milk together, and raising their children.Later, the sons and daughters grew up, the daughters were all married in other places, and the sons also started to start a family and start a business.The children and grandchildren are busy in their own way, and the old sisters seem to have become redundant people in life.After the Three Gorges immigration began, the cadres mobilized to move out.The sons who are the masters of the family took their daughters-in-law to Jiangsu and Guangdong to see their respective places, and they told their old mothers about it when they came back.After this fight, the old sisters began to compete with their son and daughter-in-law: they would not agree to leave. Fu'er is a dutiful son, if the old lady says not to leave, he will have nothing to do.Since Gui'er had no father since he was a child, he always listened to his mother's advice in everything he did. The old mother refused to leave, so he was dumbfounded.Just asking cadres to do the work ten or a hundred times still doesn't work.Fu'er, who was scheduled to go to Guangdong, knew that the problem was that her mother didn't want to say goodbye to the neighbor's old aunt, so she secretly worked as a daughter-in-law, saying that we should just follow my mother and go to Jiangsu with Gui'er and his family.But Fu'er is not only a dutiful son, but also a "strict wife".The mother-in-law stared: Didn't you already go to Guangdong to book the house?Why are you thinking about it again?Your mother will be buried in the ground in a few years, and we will have a long life with our children!If you want to follow your mother, then you live with her, I don't care! Oh, what's the matter!Fu'er didn't dare to say any more, just let nature take its course. That's it, the immigration matter was dragged on for a month or two without any results.Unexpectedly, at this time, Guier's old mother suddenly became seriously ill, and even after several twists and turns, she did not regain her life.The unfortunate death of the old girl made Fu'er's mother cry to death.When the immigration cadres came to mobilize Fuer's family to quickly complete the registration procedures, Fuer's mother simply said that she would not leave. "The old girl is gone. What's the point of me moving to a place far away with you alone? Isn't it that the Three Gorges Reservoir will not be filled until 2009! You just let me stay here for a few more years, and I will die. It’s good to accompany the old girl! Ah, mother only has this request, can you talk to the cadres?” Fu’er’s old mother begged her son with tears, and then went to the old girl’s grave in the dark and lay there Cry till dawn.With snot and tears, the old man said only one sentence: "Old girl, I just can't bear you! I can't bear you lying alone in the cold barren mountains..." This kind of neighborhood affection makes some people, especially the elderly, even more reluctant to move to other places.I also heard about another father and son. In 1999, there was an elderly family whose son was working in the city, so according to the immigration regulations, they could "see relatives and friends".Less than half a year after going to my son's house, my wife passed away due to illness, and the rest of the old man couldn't get used to it.Because people in the city live in high-rise buildings, each family does not communicate with each other.Usually the family members have gone to work, and the old man is left alone in the empty house. He doesn't like to watch TV, so he is like being locked in a cage all day long.I wanted to talk to my neighbors, but when they saw him as a "hillies", they couldn't hide.The old man hadn't passed the last year, so he said he wanted to go back to his hometown in the countryside. "Dad, our hometown is an inundated area. We have to move sooner or later. If you don't live with us in the city, who else can you live with?" The son of the deputy director thought he had reason to persuade his father, but The old man glared at him, picked up his bag and went out, and said behind his buttocks: "I'm going to Anhui with my neighbors! Even if the loess is buried up to my neck, I won't be able to return to the city to enjoy life..." It is said that the old man lived in the country until the end of August 2002, and finally he went to Anhui with a neighbor.The conditions there are obviously much worse than the son's house in the city, but the old man is willing!The place where he lives now is the same as his hometown in the countryside in the past. He farms the fields during the day and can play mahjong and chat with his old buddies from the same village who moved there together at night.The son once made a special trip to the Anhui immigration point to pick up the old man back to the city, but the old man just refused to do it.Accustomed to the close-knit life of neighbors in rural areas, many elderly people like this cannot accept the new living environment brought about by immigrants. This is a unique family relationship among Chinese peasants. It surpasses the relationship between father and son and husband and wife at a certain moment, especially those lonely elderly people. The life of drinking buddies and mahjong opponents, even if they are noisy and fighting, is full of flavor, affectionate and righteous, warm and warm, laughing and crying happily.That's the day! Facing such people, you have no right to deprive them of their innate habits and affection.How could there be such a happy and harmonious living environment for farmers in a city and a strange place?
