The fourth round: Hedong and Hexi

Winter goes to spring, this year just out of the first month, the Liuwan area will be liberated, and it is a slogan, and a general meeting, the scene has never been seen by the villagers, and the silent village is suddenly active. No, there were banners hanging on the stage on this day, and the small square in front of the stage was crowded with people.

After a while, I saw that Yunsheng, that is, Liu Yunsheng, was tied up by five flowers, wearing a paper hat, hanging a paper sign, and was escorted to the stage. A man with a head in the face walked up to the stage and said loudly: "Hey, the big guys have spoken, and now start criticizing." Which one comes first?" "Then you need to say, Yunhu." I don't know who shouted that down there. "Yes, criticism does not avoid relatives and brothers, come, Yunhu, you say it first. "Hehe, this ......" Yunhu said with some hesitation. "Why not? Come on, come on. ”

Yunhu was dressed in a Chinese-style black cloth cotton coat, and he was embarrassed to go on stage, and opened his mouth with a big grin: "Hehe, stupid people have stupid blessings! This luck is not good, the house and land have been sold, and the wife is so angry that she has returned to her parents' house. Hearing this, the audience burst into laughter. The leader shouted: "Damn, I want you to criticize your brother, it's off topic." "Oh, Criticism. Er said, second, it's not that you are nosy, you are nosy, you are nosy, you are inquiring about this and that, salty and eating radishes, this offends people, right? If you don't clean up, who will you clean up? Also, it's not that you are a miser, you are a natural miser, reluctant to eat, reluctant to drink, and look at the sky-high price of robes and horse coats, but the ones inside are all dead cats and rotten dogs, and even a bubble of is reluctant to pull in other people's fields. What is the use of the money you have saved? What is the use of the money you have saved? What is the use of the money you have released? You deserve it. After hearing this, there was a burst of laughter in the audience.

"Hey, Yunhu, what you said is a fool. Forget it, you go down. The head stopped Yunhu with a look, and said loudly to the audience: "Hey, who is that, you come up, haven't you borrowed Yunsheng's usury, you can talk about it." So, several people came up one after another to criticize and fight, and Liu Yunsheng just bowed his head and confessed, so I won't repeat this.

The land reform in the Liuwan area began, and the rich and the poor were reincarnated. Except for a courtyard, a few tiled houses, and a few acres of land, the rest of the family property was confiscated and distributed to the poor families. The yard where Liu Yunsheng originally lived was given to others, and his family moved to the old Liu's original cowyard, with three adobe tile houses and a few poplar trees in a small yard. The door is also very simple, that is, there is a gap between the earthen walls, and a wide wood door is installed, which is supposed to be for entering and exiting the livestock vehicles, so naturally.

At present, Yunsheng and his wife are two sons and two daughters. The eldest is a daughter, the big name is Liu Fengxian, and the little name is Xian'er. The second and third are all sons, the second is named Liu Fengli, the younger name is Liwa, and the third is Liu Fengqun, and the younger name is Qunwa. Lao Xiao is a daughter, the big name is Liu Fengying, and the little name is Yingzi. Yingzi is still young, the same age as Ye Zi of the Wu family. As for Yunsheng's wife, the big name is Ma Guixia, and the little name is Xia'er.

Yun Sheng never thought that in just a few months, the situation would change so quickly, but he had no power to return to the sky, so he had to face the reality. So, he changed his past kaftan and tea mirror outfit, dressed in Chinese-style homespun clothes, tied his trouser legs, and gradually developed the habit of smiling when he saw people, bowing his head and bending down to say hello. Yunsheng's wife is even more of a person who only knows how to work with her head down, and she doesn't dare to talk with her face up, because her mother's family has also been fighting, and her heart has plummeted.

The adobe houses in the cattle yard were originally used to feed the animals, and they were low-lying and damp. Yunsheng led his eldest daughter and eldest son to dismantle the cattle trough, pull the loess to fill it high and pave it, and then beat it with a stone rammer. In this way, the family moved in and lived a good life.

At this stall, the Sun family suddenly received a letter, which was specially sent by someone from above on a tall horse. It turned out that Dongwa, who had not heard from the Sun family for several years, is now an official, and the letter said that because she was busy with work, she didn't have time to come back for a while. How big is Qidong's official outside, the people in the village can't tell, but it's not small anyway. This great news that fell from the sky can make the Sun family happy, and the Sun family suddenly became popular.

The boss of the Sun family is called Sun Qiming, nicknamed Mingwa, and in the past, people in the village called the Sun family's parents Mingwa's father and Mingwa's mother, because Mingwa is the boss. But since Sun Qidong, the elder of the Sun family, became an official, the people in the village called the Sun family's parents and changed their words to call Dong Wa Dad and Dong Wa Mom, which is what is often said that the mother is more expensive than the son. The brothers and sisters of the Sun family walked upright, and their waists were straight, and even the old couple were radiant, and they were very happy.

On this day, several village cadres held a meeting in the village headquarters of Nantou Lane. This is a courtyard house facing the street, the brick courtyard wall is much higher than the surroundings, the tall and wide slightly gate tower sits west and faces east, the brick arch wall picks up the hook eaves, the wide arched door opening is the "ploughing and reading" lined with exquisite seals, two thick wooden doors are riveted with iron corner wrapping, and the steps made of three steps of stone are connected with a pair of stone lions, which are particularly conspicuous in the alley. Climb the stairs, push open the wooden door, step over the high threshold, and enter the open East Xia, which is only supported by pillars, facing the tall West Xia, and the South and North Xia. Unlike the nearby houses, the front eaves of the houses in this courtyard house are made of wood, and the high eaves are intriguing, giving it a temple feel. It is said that this was once the family temple of the Liu family, and now it is the location of the village headquarters of Liuwan.

This meeting was to determine the composition of each household, and the differences were mainly in two households, one was Yunhu that is, Liu Yunhu, and the other was You'er. Not long ago, Yun Sheng shook out the bottom of You'er's family, and almost all the people in the village knew about You'er's past, and there were many discussions. No, the village cadres also quarreled with each other: "Eh, this family should be a landlord." "Why?" "I just live in a broken cave, I don't have a house or land, and my wife is still a wet nurse for others, how can I be a landlord?" "Didn't Yunsheng say it, the Wu family was still a rich man many years ago." "Yunsheng, do you listen to him?" "Oh, didn't you admit it?" "I don't agree with that. This determines the ingredients, mainly depending on the conditions at hand. If you push back the situation of each family many years ago, then the Yunsheng family is not a landlord. "There has to be a time for everything. If you work backwards, there is no such thing as a legal component. "It's the same with Yunhu, look at the eyes. "Haha, the composition of the two brothers is different, and it has really become a joke. ”

An old man knocked on the dry tobacco pot, put on another cigarette, took a sharp puff, and then said: "Hey, you all know that Qingxi's white baby, right? That's a well-known ghost of big trouble! When his father was in his hands, the house was quite rich, and he bought both houses and land. The grandfather died, and the father couldn't control it, but he put on the white baby, a ghost, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and smoking a lot. After a few years of work, such a big family business was lost, and as a result, he asked for food. A few days ago, I went to Qingxi and happened to meet Baiwa. Ah, you haven't seen that foreign energy. And guess what? I got a poor peasant, and I got a house and a land. ”

"And the Qidong family, what about the ingredients?" said a middle-aged man. "That's right, people are on top now, and it's a problem if it's not appropriate. Another middle-aged man chimed in. "Look, these things, everyone is also theorizing here, and I can't say the next level for a few days and nights, so let's tell the situation to others, and let the above decide. The old man said. In this way, the meeting of the village cadres was dissolved, and after the meeting, the situation of Sun Qiming, You'er and Liu Yunhu was reported, and there was no reply on the spot, so they went back and waited first.

He thought to himself, if he can get it, he will get it, and if he can't get it, he doesn't expect others to support him anyway, he leads the family to run so far to the boundary to support the family with his hands, and he can live in peace.

Half a month later, the above reply came down, and Sun Qiming's family was designated as a middle-peasant component and belonged to the object of unity, and basically did not suffer any impact; Liu Yunhu and You'er's family were finally determined to be poor peasants. As a result, the village divided the houses and fields between Liu Yunhu and You'er according to the poor peasants.

Hearing that a poor peasant was appointed, Liu Yunhu made a fuss about asking for the house and land he sold many years ago. Of course, it was all given to him by the family when his father was there, but the gambling was paid to others, and later his brother, Liu Yunsheng, redeemed it from others. This Yunhu ghost also has a lot of ideas, so he invited the village cadres to have a meal and moved back to his old house. Although some people had opinions, the village cadres were silent, and it was over. With everything, Yunhu went to his father-in-law's house. Of course, at this time, his father-in-law and mother-in-law died early, and his wife and her brother lived. So, after Yunhu said, his wife came back with half a push and half on the spot, and started living again. It's just that the village doesn't gamble anymore, and Yunhu will naturally live in peace.

Besides, there is a child, he is an outsider, and it is good to be able to get it, but the house is a little bit and the ground is a little thin. The Wu family's yard is on the southwest corner of Liuwan Village. The yard is not big, about three or four points of land. Like the neighbors, the courtyard walls of the Wu family were also built with rammed loess. On the south corner of the east wall of the courtyard, there is a courtyard gate that sits west and faces east, and people here call it "slightly gate". The slight door, blocking the gentleman and not the villain, is also quite simple, that is, digging a door hole more than one person high on the earthen wall, under the arch, and then installing two wooden doors with small bracelets in front and large wooden bolts on the back, and hanging two small barrel bells with pendulums above the inside of the door, even if it is good.

As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by a small wall. Behind the wall, that is, along the south wall of the courtyard, from east to west, there are chicken coops, pigsties, and thatched houses. In the northwest corner of the courtyard is a firehouse facing east from the west, which is called "Rice House" by the people here. At the base of the west wall, next to the restaurant, there was a pile of firewood. The three rooms facing north and south are adobe and brick and wood tiled houses, which belong to the kind called "wearing boots and hats" by the locals. There is a pomegranate tree, a date tree, an apricot tree, and a toon tree in the yard.

Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river. The stormy change of heaven and earth will inevitably be accompanied by a great turning point in the fate of the villagers and a great change in the order and atmosphere of the village. Since then, brushing slogans and holding meetings have become a new atmosphere in the village, and the villagers have adapted to it and are busy. However, the liberation of the Persimmon Bay area, as far as the overall situation is concerned, is only a local or regional, therefore, many people are not sure, even if they get benefits from it, they dare not believe that it will last for a long time. As for the lost, let alone that, they always hope that one day a wind will blow back and restore their former wealth.
