Driven by the tide of reform and opening up, 18 bloody handprints in Xiaogang Village, Fengyang, Anhui Province, have attracted great attention from the central government. The whole country has implemented the contract responsibility system for joint production in Xiaogang Village.

Our village was the earliest village in the county when it implemented the contract responsibility system for joint production, and at that time it was still under great pressure, and it was divided into households, which has been criticized for a long time in the past, and it has failed for various reasons.

When I heard about the division of land, all kinds of problems popped up.

There are many boys in the family, and they think that it will be difficult to get married and add land after the land is divided, and out of selfishness, they want to postpone it and wait until they get married to divide it, because other villages have not yet implemented the contract responsibility system for joint production, and we are in the limelight. There are many girls who want to find a son-in-law who is inverted, and they are also divided into the ground. Those who work in other places and eat commercial grain should also divide the land, because the land is left by the ancestors, and everyone should have a share, and besides, they will retire in the future, and what will they do when they retire home. There are also problems in the division of homestead land, and all married boys occupy the homestead, but young boys do not have homesteads, and it is also a practical problem to get married and build a house in the future.

In response to these practical problems, the villagers elected representatives and conducted in-depth and detailed discussions.

The representatives of all sides have different opinions, express their own views, and do not give in to each other.

Once, there were many boys and many girls, and because of differences of opinion, the two sides fought in a discussion...

The masses have a greater opinion on the division of land for those who eat commercial grain, holding that the state has clear regulations and cannot divide land. But at that time, those who could eat commercial grain were all figures with heads and faces, and they had a lot of weight in the village, and they could not afford to offend some real power in the village. If they don't give land, their families won't give it up.

For a time, the three powers were full of power, and each did not give in to each other. Numerous conferences, small meetings, and discussion meetings have been held, but they still have not been able to come up with so-called reasonable opinions.

The village cadres fell into contemplation and had no choice but to learn from each other's strengths and make up for their weaknesses to engage in the golden mean.

It is clearly announced that if there are many boys and the girl's family wants to go upside down, they must hold a marriage certificate within 20 days to get a share of the land. In order to survive after retirement, one-third of the land is given. The homestead land and the large field land are calculated together, and the homestead land is to be deducted.

Anything is possible in the world, and when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. Although the above problems have been solved, the pregnant family members have come up with a new trick, saying that the distribution of land is a long-term benefit, and their child is about to give birth, and the child will not have land to eat after birth. For a while, I still couldn't tell the ground. Some people think that the child will be delivered immediately, which is also a fact, and after birth, they still have to eat, and they can be given land. But how to deal with four or five months of pregnancy and seven or eight months of pregnancy, and just got married and said that his wife was also pregnant...

Complicated problems are in front of them, and the deputies and village cadres have nothing to do and are helpless. After two more days of discussions, the deputies held that the number of pregnant women must be in the minority, and that the existing population before the division of land should prevail. After the opinions were determined, the unified measurement of the land area and the population were counted, and after the implementation, the number of land divisions per person was also calculated, and the list was announced. Everyone was dumbfounded.

It turned out that his daughter-in-law was pregnant and half a month before the delivery time, so she had a caesarean section in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the county hospital in advance in order to divide the land.

I had to recalculate the number of people who were divided into land.

When everything is ready, the division of the land begins.

At that time, the pigs around the village coaxed, the sheep gnawed, and the chickens, ducks and geese pecked were not willing to want, so they had to be determined by drawing lots. Even the brothers combined into one lot in order to plant a good plot of land, and some did not want to be separated from the people who farmed and grabbed the land, and several families with good feelings joined together to draw lots.

After dozens of days of hard work, the land was finally distributed to each household, which promoted the development of production, increased the enthusiasm of the working people, and increased grain output year by year.
