The twenty-eighth round: Hedong and Hexi

Let's say that this autumn is just after September 9, Changwa and his wife and wife came back with their youngest daughter Jinjin, dressed very simply. More than ten years have passed, and Changwa is also in her fifties at this time. Seeing the yard sold to Hu'er, the north building is gone, the east and west buildings have collapsed, and only three south buildings are basically intact, but no one lives there. So, he ran to find Hu'er, and paid for the yard back, because it was his family's ancestral house.

After Changwa redeemed the yard, she did not rebuild the house, but simply demolished the collapsed East and West Buildings, and then put the usable wood in a house in the South Building, and packed up the bricks and tiles, including the scattered bricks and tiles in the North Building, on the foundation of the North Building. Then, Changwa went to his graveyard again, burned paper for his parents and grandparents, and kowtowed. The family of three lived in the courtyard for a while, then locked the door and left again.

In this regard, there are many discussions in the village, but when it comes to it, there is no reason to say why, because Changwa did not disclose anything to the outside world when she came back. And what about Hu'er? I was really surprised to get this money, so I was so happy, I played day and night, and it didn't take many days to finish all the fun. Because the yard has become like this, Changwa redeemed it without paying much money. But no matter what, Hu'er was still happy for a while.

Time flies quickly, and before you know it, winter goes to spring, and the days flickering and passing another Lunar New Year. In fact, this year is also different from previous years, from time to time there is news of war, that is, this year has just come out of the first month, and the persimmon Bay area was liberated two and a half years earlier than the founding ceremony. The village was noisy with gongs and drums, joyful, slogans, and conferences, and the silent village suddenly became active. No, there were banners hanging on the stage on this day, and the small square in front of the big stage was crowded with people.

After a while, I saw Yun Sheng tied up by five flowers, wearing a paper hat, hanging a paper sign, and being escorted to the stage. Fanwa walked to the front of the stage and said loudly: "Hey, the big guys have spoken, now the meeting is held." Which one will say first?" "Then it still needs to be said, Hu'er will say it first." I don't know who shouted that down there. "Yes, don't avoid relatives, come, Hu'er, you say it first. "This ......," Hu'er said with some hesitation. "What? No, you can say it first. Come on, come on. ”

Hu'er embarrassedly stepped onto the stage, and opened his mouth with a big grin: "Oh, what a blessing." This luck is not good, the house and land have been lost, and even the wife has returned to her parents' house, and her eyes can't go on. Hey, the team is here and the food is divided. Upon hearing this, the audience burst into laughter. Fanwa reprimanded: "Damn, what are you talking nonsense." "Oh, I'm talking about him. Eh, the second child, you are a miser, reluctant to eat, reluctant to drink, and reluctant to pull even a bubble of in other people's fields. Asking you for money is like cutting your flesh, but it's difficult, and I'll give that little bit once I go, and dare to send it away. After hearing this, there was a burst of laughter in the audience.

"Hey, that's a fool, forget it, you go down. "Hey, it's not over yet, I have to report it. "What's the report?" "There's a lot of good stuff buried under the house he lives in." "Really?" "What are you doing, you buried it when you drove the Japanese." "Oh. "That's still fake. The Japanese left, and he said that he would dig it up and divide it, but he didn't agree. It's still miles under his house. "Yunsheng, be honest. Fanwa asked. "Yes, yes, yes. Yun Sheng nodded. "I'm going to dig after the meeting. Hu'er, the report is not crooked," Fanwa said loudly to the audience again: "Hey, who is that, didn't you borrow money from him, you can tell me." So, a few people came up and talked about it.

Qingxi Village also held a village meeting, and the villagers in the village near Lin'er all went, and the fourth son, who harmed the neighbors and treated the Japanese as a dog's leg, was tied up by the five flowers and fought for a beating, and those who had suffered the scourge really tore his heart with his own hands, and how many people waved their fists to beat Si'er, but the new government dealt with it according to the law, did not give random beatings, and finally shot him publicly.

Beicun even held a meeting of 10,000 people, and the villagers from ten miles and eight miles flocked to it, escorted the head of the road and the minions together, denounced it, and publicly shot him. The bandits on the eastern ridge were also suppressed, and several leaders were also shot. It's really happy, and the dealers are running to tell each other. In this way, after liberation and land reform, those poor families were given houses and fields, and lived a peaceful and stable life. I won't go into details.

As for Yun Sheng's residence in the courtyard, it was distributed to several families, and his family moved to the three adobe tile houses in the original cowyard. Yunsheng is currently two sons and two daughters, the eldest daughter Liu Fengxian, nicknamed Xian'er, the eldest son Liu Fengli, nicknamed Liwa, the youngest son Liu Fengqun, nicknamed Qunwa, and the youngest daughter Liu Fengying, nicknamed Yingzi, is the same age as the Wu family's Yezi. Yun Sheng never expected that the situation would become so fast in just a few months, and he didn't believe that it could last long. But suddenly remembered the words of the fortune teller before, and was deflated, thinking that I had to face the reality.

So, he changed his shirt and tea mirror in the past, dressed in Chinese-style homespun clothes, tied his trouser legs, and smiled when he saw people, bowed his head and bent down to say hello. What about his wife Xia'er? She only knew how to work with her head down, and she didn't dare to talk with her face up, because her mother's family had encountered the same situation. The adobe houses in the cattle yard were originally used to feed the animals. Now that he is going to live in, Yun Sheng led his eldest daughter and eldest son, demolished the cattle trough, pulled the loess to tamp and tamp it, and lived in and lived a good life.

At this juncture, the Sun family received a letter sent by someone on a tall horse. It turned out that Dongwa was an official, she was busy with work, and she couldn't come back, so she reported her safety. As for how big an official Dongwa was, the people in the village couldn't tell clearly. Needless to say, the good news that fell from the sky could make the Sun family happy, and the door was full of joy all of a sudden. In the past, people in the village called the Sun family's parents and called Mingwa's father, Mingwa's mother, and Mingwa was the boss. But after Dongwa became an official, the village invariably changed its words to call Dongwa's father and Dongwa's mother, and the mother is more expensive than the child. The brothers and sisters of the Sun family walked upright, their waists were straight, and even the old couple of the Sun family were radiant and happy.

On this day, several village cadres of Fanwa and Jiang'er held a meeting in the village department. The purpose of this meeting was to determine the composition of each household, and the differences were mainly between two households, one household was a tiger and the other household was a child. Not long ago, Yunsheng shook out the bottom of You'er's family, and the village knew about You'er's past, and there was a lot of discussion. Even the village cadres quarreled with each other: "Eh, you should also be a landlord." "Why?" "I live in a broken cave, I have no house and no land, and my wife is still a wet nurse for others, how can I determine the landlord?"

"Didn't Yun Sheng say it, the Wu family was still a rich man many years ago. "Yunsheng, do you listen to his words?" "This is a definite ingredient, mainly depends on the eyes. If you push back the situation of each family by how many years, it will be difficult to say. "There has to be a point in time. "Hu'er is the same, looking at the eyes, there is only a North Xia, and there is no land. "Oh, he's lost that. The two brothers are not the same, and it is no longer 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 the above, and let the above decide. The old man said, too. In this way, the meeting of the day will be endless.

Some children also heard about it. However, he thought to himself, if he can get it, he can get it, and if he can't get it, he doesn't expect others to support him, he led the family to such a far border, he originally planned to support his family with his own hands, as long as he could live in peace. As for the rest, he didn't have any ideas.

But half a month later, the above reply came down, Hu'er set the upper middle peasants, Mingwa's family set the lower middle peasants, and You'er's family set the poor peasants. As a result, the village divided houses and fields among the poor peasants. What about Hu'er? I went to my father-in-law's house. At this time, the old father-in-law's mother-in-law died early, and his wife and brother's family lived together, which was also inconvenient. So, after Hu'er said, the woman also came back half-pushed and half-on-the-spot. Gambling is no longer allowed in the village, and the tiger is safe.

As for You'er, he is an outsider, and it would be good to be able to get it, but the house is a little bit partial and the ground is thin. The courtyard of the Wu family is on the southeast 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. In the corner of the west wall of the courtyard, there is a small gate facing east and west. The slight door, blocking the gentleman and not the villain, is to dig a door hole more than one person high and under the arch on the earthen wall, and then install two wooden doors with small bracelets in front and large wooden bolts on the back, and hang two small barrel bells with pendulums above the inside of the door, and forget it.

When I entered the door, I was greeted by a small wall. Behind the wall, that is, along the south wall of the courtyard, from west to east, there are chicken coops, pigsties, and thatched houses. In the northwest corner of the courtyard is a fire room that sits west and faces east, and the people here call it "Fan Xiazi". 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, accompanied by the great turning point in the fate of most of the villagers and the great change in the order and atmosphere of the village, there are more joys and fewer worries. Brushing slogans and holding meetings has become a new atmosphere, and the villagers are adapting to it and busy. However, as far as the whole country is concerned, the liberation of the Persimmon Bay area is still only a partial or regional one, and a few people are a little unsteady in their hearts or have any ideas; in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that changing the world is already the desire of the people and the trend of the times.
