"Dad, the fourth girl's house, from here to the county seat dozens of miles of road, the past two years have been a bit chaotic" Liu Fuwang did not stop the four girls from walking to the county seat.Liu Chunlai was really worried.I'm afraid that Liu Xue will have an accident.For the sake of triangular money, putting a girl in danger, which he never thought about.He was originally born several years later than that, and he was also born in the city, so he had never experienced such a life at all."
It's hard for you to have a heart, she is such a big person, she knows how to protect herself.Besides, Lao Tzu's species, can three or five men be her opponents?
”Liu Fuwang looked domineering.He had been silently paying attention to his son and daughter, listening to his son's instructions to his daughter, and he didn't say a word all the way.watched her daughter go away, and didn't tell her to pay attention to safety, eat better at school, study hard, or something.He was not an articulate father.In his memory, he couldn't beat the fourth child in a fight."
Remember what you said, Xia Qing and Qiu Ju suffered because of your uncle.Uncle Lao Lao doesn't support them, they can only be aggrieved in their in-laws' house, Lao Tzu to support them, can only make people look down on them, they will be more aggrieved You don't make it, although you know that what your mother does is not authentic, at least, Xia Qing and Qiu Ju can eat enough when they marry in the past, and they can occasionally see a meal of meat a month, stained with some oil.In our house, we can't eat enough, and we can't see oily people all year round" When the old man said this, the corners of his eyes were a little moist.Perhaps, it's just a little windy.After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Liu Chun to react, straightened his chest, held his head high, and strode forward with his hands behind his back.An old man who has been wounded on the battlefield I don't know how many times, lost six fingers on both feet, and never cried, shed tears and beans.Only then did Liu Chunlai understand that the old man had always known!
From the old man's words, he realized the old man's suppressed emotions over the years.Similarly, I was relieved of the old man.Marrying a girl is such a big thing, without the acquiescence of his authoritarian parent, no matter how much the old lady tosses, it is impossible.Although the first two daughters are not well married, at least they are not filling the house, and they don't have to be stepmothers.After all, the old man can't help it.The whole brigade was poor, and the girl was born, and in Lao Liu's family, she suffered a lot, and she didn't eat a few meals.As he said, at least, enough to eat!
You can see the meat!"
Dad, you say, will the people of Team 4 support it?
After all, I couldn't get paid at the beginning" Liu Chunlai wiped the corners of his eyes, quickly caught up with the old man, and had nothing to say.When people are extremely poor, dignity or anything does not exist.How many honors did the old man get in the army?
Such a person is definitely proud, but his pride is gone when he can't give his children a better life.Poverty forced him like this.It's not that their family is poor, it's the whole brigade, the whole commune.The Commune of Happiness is not happy.It is also because of poverty that it is called the Happiness Commune.Everyone wants to be happy.The four brigades of the Happiness Commune, Liu Chunlai has a very clear impression in his memory, the geographical location of this brigade is too peculiar.The whole brigade is actually just a mountain.At a height of about 100 meters down from the top of the mountain, six ridges separate the entire mountain from six valleys, and the six production teams of the four teams surround this mountain.The top of the mountain is like a saddle, there is a pass in the middle, the top of the mountain on the left is flat, there is an area of more than two square kilometers, it is called Yanshan Temple; On the other side of the mountain, which is separated by a distance of three or four hundred meters, the top also has an area of more than two hundred square meters, which is called Mopan Village.Yanshan Temple, once an ancient temple, according to legend, the reason why this temple was destroyed was because the monks in the temple peeked at the queen's mother bathing in the attic, and the emperor sent someone to slaughter the temple and set it on fire.What year it is, no one knows.It is said that when the eight kings entered the river, this temple was still there.I don't know if the remnants of Zhang Xianzhong ran here, and the temple monk peeked at the destruction of Zhang Xianzhong's queen, which is unknown.Liu Chunlai speculated that it was likely that this Yanshan Temple was destroyed because of a fire and a lack of water on the mountain.Once the brigade conference room was ready to be built on the top of the mountain, but there was a lack of water, so it had to be stopped.Now you can still see the ruins and broken walls above, there are many beautifully carved stones, and the outline of the original temple foundation can be vaguely seen, and the wood has long been carried back by the members of the club as firewood.The children of the entire four brigades, when they were young, almost all jumped around on the top of this mountain.This is an open area where the whole four brigades are flat and cannot grow food, and children can play openly, because there are many treasures here.Anyway, Liu Chunlai has grown so big, I haven't heard of anyone who can find a copper plate.There is almost no dirt at the top of the mountain.As for the mill village, it is not a legend.Former native bandits.It was from this village that a group of people in the village joined the Red Army and embarked on the Long March.Later, in 1942, 12-year-old Liu Fuwang went out to look for the Red Army, and finally embarked on several production teams in his military career.Liu Fuwang's family is in the first team, and if he goes to the fourth team, he has to go over the mountain.It took more than twenty minutes to climb to the top of the mountain.Before the sun jumped out of the eastern sky and climbed up to the pass, Liu Chunlai was also panting and sweating, and the white sleeveless homespun coat on his body was already soaked.Liu Fuwang was calm."
I knew to bring a fan."
Liu Chunlai opened his clothes and fanned the wind.This is the pass, and there is a lot of wind, so it will soon cool down.Standing here, the situation down the mountain is all in view.As far as the eye could see, it was cut bare, and there were hardly a few large trees in sight.In the ravine at the foot of the mountain, the rice has turned green, and the bare ridges have exposed purple-red soil; Most of the fields on the mountain are planted with red weeds in the middle of the corn rows, and before the red weeds were planted, the wheat planted there, and the areas where the corn was planted were originally planted with ladyheads and beets to feed the pigs.The red vine has only been planted for a short time, and the red vine has not yet covered the whole field, as if it has ringworm, clumps.All year round, these lands will not be idle.But the more this happens, the worse the harvest becomes, and the more people don't have enough to eat.On the edge of the ground, out of the cypress trees, which had been cut down to the tips of the trees, grew green shrubs.These shrubs are cut down in the winter, soaked in the fields to fertilize the fields, and then picked up and dried in the second year, and they are very easy to cook and cook.Of course, there are more mulberry trees on the edge of the ground, and many mulberry trees have only a few mulberry leaves at the top of their branches, which are all picked and fed to silkworms.Silkworm cocoons are sold to cocoon stations, which is a large source of income.It's a pity that the whole brigade is not only underfed, but also poor.After all, these days, there are too few fertilizers.Decades of intermittent farming have long since lost the fertility of the land.On the rock walls around Yanshan Temple, the lime brushes read "Improving agricultural productivity is the center of rural work" and "Grain is the key link to all-round development," as well as the older colors of "Grasping Revolution and Promoting Production," all in order to increase productivity.And then the eggs.The entire brigade is still too poor to open the pot.During collective production, they relied on loans from credit cooperatives to buy resale-ready grain to fill their stomachs.After the reform and opening up, the new slogan was written on the old slogans of the big rocks: "Whoever gets rid of poverty is glorious, and whoever is poor is incompetent!"
”"Resolutely support the leadership of the party, resolutely respond to national policies, and implement the division of fields into households!""
It is the policy of the state to divide the land into households, and whoever opposes it is against the country!""
The practice of family planning is a basic national policy.""
I'd rather have a river of blood than give birth to one more!"
Liu Chun sighed when he saw it.In the four brigades, even the division of land to households has to be enforced.With the slogans of the times, you can analyze many basic situations.If there is too little land, the more people there are, the less they will be divided, and although the grain is handed over according to the land, the overall planning of the region and the retention of the township and town are all according to the head, and they all refer to the land of several people in each family, and the soil of several people, not to mention how many acres a person has."
Most people don't want to divide the land into households.The commune held several meetings and mobilized, but no one wanted to, and finally it was enforced before it was distributed to the households.If it weren't for the fact that there are a lot of people who have joined the army, it would be difficult to separate" Seeing Liu Chunlai staring at the slogan, Liu Fuwang explained.All the slogans were arranged by him to be brushed."
Dad, didn't our brigade participate in the revolution with you before?"
Liu Chunlai asked suddenly.It stands to reason that there should be big people in this.He also knew that the reason why the commune was not like other communes was because there were many people in the four brigades who joined the army.In the past few years, several of the four brigades have entered the army every year to serve in the army.In the past two years, because agricultural production has not improved, more and more money and grain have been owed, and the Armed Forces Department has stopped recruiting from the four brigades.In response to the government's call, no one in the entire four brigades did not help.Except, of course, for family planning."
Many, but there are only three or five when you come back, don't you know them all?
It's either lame or blind, it's just me, luckily, it's still complete" Liu Fuwang was reluctant to mention this."
The situation of the fourth team is special, before responding to the call of the country, you can make children, most of the young people who have not started a family are about the same age as you, if the country started family planning more than ten years earlier, the situation will be much better" Liu Fuwang walked while introducing the situation of the fourth team to his son.The descent is much, much easier than the uphill.The land of the fourth team is similar to that of other places, and they are also planted with red vetch and corn, the leaves of which have begun to turn yellow, and the red rattan vines are also yellow.In other teams, the red vines are almost covered with ridges, and there are still very small roots here.The public house of the fourth team is halfway up the mountain.In those years, the canteen, the silkworm house, pig farm, rabbit farm and grain drying field where the production team engaged in the breeding industry were concentrated in the collective production.The area where the public housing is located is not large, but it is the place where the collective industry of the entire production team is concentrated.Liu Chunlai followed his father, and when he was far away, he saw the black crowd on the public housing drying field.A group of bare-bottomed children are chasing me on the dam."
The branch secretary is here!"
As soon as the two arrived at the public house, they found that many people were looking this way."
The branch secretary is here, the branch secretary is here" Someone walked towards the crowd gathered in the public house, tearing up his voice and shouting that the branch secretary is coming.More people are coming to the branch secretary.Liu Chunlai really didn't know that his father was so popular.In other places, the most unseen thing for members is the branch secretary and the captain.Especially when it was time to hand over the grain, the cadres of the brigade helped the commune to urge the grain and collect the payment, and from time to time there would be members who would take advantage of the darkness to knock on the cold stick or something."
Branch secretary, I heard that you are going to ask us for a mother-in-law, where is the new daughter-in-law from?""
Captain, tell me a mother-in-law first, I'm 35 years old, and I can't get my mother-in-law anymore, my wife can't hold her grandson, and she won't be blind" "Captain, are you going to the commune to pick up relief food?"
If there is nothing else, I will have a lot of strength" The person who came up with the "branch secretary" quickly squeezed Liu Chunlai, the captain who had not yet taken office, aside and surrounded Liu Fuwang, the branch secretary and captain.Only then did Liu Chunlai understand that these guys were so enthusiastic about their feelings in order to have enough to eat and marry their daughters-in-law.Most of the people surrounding Liu Fuwang are relatively young, almost all of them are in their thirties.Those in their forties and fifties who are not married have actually lost their minds.The people gathered outside are much younger, and they are not particularly stressed.Most of these people are yellow-skinned and thin, most of them are shirtless, with bare upper bodies with obvious ribs, pants, and bare feet.The clothes were worn by older people and women, as well as some girls in their teens who had not gone to school.Everyone's clothes, whether they are wearing pants, are mostly patched and patched.It's worse than a refugee camp.What a poor word.Looking at the lively children, Liu Chunlai found that several little boys were at least five or six years old, and their whole bodies were still naked.The girls who ran with them were dressed in clothes and pants, but no one cared about the difference between men and women.This "Stop!
Today I'm here for a meeting to study how to please your mother-in-law and fill your stomach, and if you don't listen, I'll go back!
”Suddenly, Liu Fuwang, who was surrounded, burst out with a roar full of energy.This volume finally quieted down the scene.
