1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

Today is a very ordinary day, but for the villagers of Erdaoling Village, today really has a different meaning.

Thoughts are struggling fiercely.

In my heart, I really want to agree with Chen Tiezhu's proposal and continue to contract according to the original land distribution plan, but I can't get past the Zhang family.

They don't know how to choose, so they can only say that they will see when the time comes.

After finally making it to six o'clock, the villagers came to the brigade headquarters with benches and cotton clothes.

Han Xiuying originally planned to go back today. But what happened tonight was so important that she decided to stay and "supervise".

What if a fight broke out today?

I must supervise it myself.

It's definitely not because I sleep well and eat well here.

"Tiezhu, do you have any plan?" He Jianguo, who came here early, asked.

"Uncle Jianguo, don't worry. It's easy to deal with them." Chen Tiezhu said indifferently.

He Jianguo opened his mouth. He really didn't know where his confidence came from, and he was even more worried.

If the Zhang family was not suppressed this time, Chen Tiezhu's reputation in the village would definitely plummet.

He was also not thoughtful enough. He shouldn't have put such an important matter on him.

There are not many people in Erdaoling Village, and now the yard of the brigade is full of people.

"Seeing that everyone is almost here, let's start. After all, I took the lead in this matter. Comrades of the village committee, how about letting me host it?" Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

The members of the village committee sitting in front with He Jianguo did not comment, in fact, they did not want to get involved in this matter.

Whoever poops should clean up the shit, just follow and see the result.

"Fellow villagers, I don't need to introduce myself anymore." Chen Tiezhu clasped his fists to the villagers.

"It's so cold today, and we called everyone here because everyone cares about the land distribution. Sooner or later, we'll have to endure this cold, and it's not that cold now."

"Today, it's quite interesting. I heard a lot of different voices. It's said that some comrades are making trouble in private to prevent our village from smoothly dividing the land."

"What are you looking at? I'm talking about you. Zhang Guangliang, are you itching again? Have you forgotten the pain of being beaten by me in the woods last time? Do you think you're good enough again?"

His words really surprised the villagers of Erdaoling Village, but they didn't know that Chen Tiezhu not only had a conflict with Zhang Guangyou, but also beat Zhang Guangliang.

"Chen Erlu, don't be so cocky." Zhang Guangliang shouted angrily.

"Guangliang, sit down." Zhang Guangyou stood up.

"Chen Tiezhu, since you've made it clear, let's face it. I just don't like you. There's a personal grudge between our two families."

"Our Zhang family has done a lot of work for the people in the village in the past two years, right? Who has big or small things, our Zhang family hasn't helped?"

"If anyone has a problem, and finds our Zhang family, don't we help you find people and connections to deal with it? What do we want?"

"Ask my friend to write a note and get some fertilizer. If we sell it in the town, we can make at least two or three more dollars per bag. We are for What are you still selling in the village?"

"Isn't it just because everyone is farming hard? The less money earned is just to take care of the elders and fellow villagers. Is that ticket so easy to write? Don't we have to give them a shot?"

"Everyone has a scale in their heart, so I'll make it clear. The Zhang family doesn't care whether the land is divided or not. I just look down on Chen Tiezhu, what the hell is that?"

"Trust my Zhang family, if you need my Zhang family for something in the future, just know how to vote. Everyone has three disasters and five misfortunes in their life."

After saying that, Zhang Guangyou looked at Chen Tiezhu provocatively and sat down steadily.

He Jianguo was really worried. He didn't expect Zhang Guangyou to be able to speak out this matter so openly.

You don't have to worry about whether they are threatening or not. After all, the words are spoken in the open, confirming that this is a conflict between the Zhang family and Chen Tiezhu.

Just as he worried, the originally neutral scale in the hearts of the villagers of Erdaoling Village has been pressed towards the Zhang family.

After all, even if the land is redistributed, it depends on luck.

Why am I so unlucky to seize the Zhang family's land?

"You can face your mistakes directly, which is very good. I personally praise you." At this time, Chen Tiezhu also spoke.

Everyone was a little confused. Where did Zhang Guangyou admit his mistake?

"Think about it carefully, is it so easy to ask the Zhang family to do things?"If you can do something with five yuan, do you have to spend ten or eight yuan?" Chen Tiezhu continued.

Zhang Guangming was angry and wanted to stand up, but was pulled out by Zhang Guangyou.

Chen Tiezhu glanced at them and said, "The country is paying attention to our farmers now. If you pay close attention, you will find that the supply of fertilizers in the past two years has increased a lot compared to before."

"How many more years will it take before we can buy fertilizers casually? Three years, five years? It's roughly like this, right?"

"Uncle Jianguo, according to the document given by the county this time, how many years is the land contract period here?"

"Uh..., this time it's five years, I told you earlier." He Jianguo said.

"Five years, it's not long or short." Chen Tiezhu said.

"The Zhang family turned the good land into bitter land. The next person who takes over, will you take care of the land? After five years of taking care of the land, it will be distributed to other people. Then why do we still need to cultivate the land? "

"This time we redistributed the land, and the Zhang family got the good land. In the fifth year, they continued to cultivate the land into bitter land. What about the next land distribution? "

"The land will gradually become more and more bitter, and the arable land in our Erdaoling Village will be reduced a lot. In the end, it will be difficult to find an acre of good land."

"That's why I had this idea, and we will continue according to the original contract. When this period is over, we can still manage it this way."

"There are many advantages to this. Those who are thoughtful can fertilize the land without considering other variables. As long as the year is good, there will be a good harvest."

"Fertilizer is indeed very important, but it is only one of our means of production. We all eat farming, and it is not my place to say which is more important."

"If we continue to indulge in this, what will our Erdaoling Village become? In a few decades, how will our descendants look at us? "

Listening to his words, the villagers' hearts tilted towards him again.

"Chen Tiezhu, you are talking nonsense." Zhang Guangming couldn't help but stood up.

"Did I get it right? Are you embarrassed? Do you really think our village is your private land? You can do whatever you want?" Chen Tiezhu looked at him with disdain.

"Let me say something."

At this time, Zhang Quande stood up.

He Jianguo's heart tightened. Zhang Quande's words were still very important.
