Chapter 31 The Turmoil of Dividing the Fields
One day in mid-May 1981, when the spring flowers were blooming and everything was recovering, Song Rou asked Wu Wei to return to Fufu to visit his uncle Seinfeld. As soon as she entered her uncle's house, she saw Seinfeld sitting alone on the sofa in the living room, smoking a cigarette in her mouth, and her originally thin face now looked iron-blue, which made her feel distressed and surprised. The uncle was not as enthusiastic as he thought when he saw the two of them coming in, and just nodded politely.
Song Rou didn't dare to play tricks as usual when she saw this situation, so she hurriedly glanced at Wu Wei, opened the door of the inner room and entered the house. I saw Seinfeld's wife Hui Lian sitting on the bed with tears in her eyes, Song Rou hurriedly and sensibly walked over and took her aunt's hand, tears couldn't help but flow, and she asked in a stalk, what's wrong? The aunt stopped, looked at Wu Weixian and nodded, and said politely, Look, the first time you entered the house, you were allowed to see this scene. Song Rou anxiously shook her aunt's hand and asked, what's wrong? The aunt sighed and said, "Alas, your uncle was removed from his post by the province."
It turned out that Seinfeld was a local man, and he had been a cadre for many years, and he was anxious to see whether he was rich or not, especially in the past two years, when he saw that some places had begun to divide the fields into households, and new vitality had begun to appear in the countryside, and he saw hope, and he also wanted to promote it in the rich counties, but the provincial secretary had always used the provincial situation as a reason that it was suitable to continue to carry out socialist mechanized operations and prevent the division of fields into households, believing that it was a way back and the restoration of capitalism. At that time, the situation was still unclear, and the debate over the two paths was still very hot. In this context, Seinfeld felt that he could not wait any longer, because the people had misled the country, and decided to implement the division of fields into households in the county under his jurisdiction, and took advantage of the spring plowing season to push it away. The peasants were beaming with joy and threw themselves into the spring ploughing with high enthusiasm, and Seinfeld also went down to many villages, and he was full of confidence when he saw the scene of the peasants' general elation of labor. Unexpectedly, in the past two days, someone stabbed this matter into the province, and the secretary was furious when he heard the news, but he did not expect that there would be a county party committee secretary who dared to contradict him, and he immediately ordered the dismissal, considering that the spring plowing had ended, and it was not good to concentrate the land that had been distributed to the peasants again. Song Rou Wu came back just in time for the document to be issued.
Wu Wei has been reading books and newspapers for a long time, writing articles, and has systematically tutored economic theories in his own unit, so he has already developed his own opinions on the current social situation, especially in the new situation like the one that has emerged in the rural areas. After understanding what happened, he was extraordinarily calm.
He returned to the living room, looked at Song Fei, and said with concern, Uncle Song, it was not the right time for me and Song Rou to come, I was a little presumptuous, I was taken aback by the appearance of my uncle when I entered the door just now, and I was very worried that something happened to my uncle, I just heard Aunt Song roughly explain the situation, and I want to take the liberty to say a few words to my uncle.
Seinfeld learned the news from seeing this document, in less than a day, with a huge gap, the people around him suddenly became cold to himself, and they all drew a line with himself, until now, no one has taken the initiative to talk to him, and of course he does not dare to take the initiative to talk to others. Hearing that such a young man wanted to talk to him, although he felt that he could not solve any of his problems, he still felt that he had broken the indifference and loneliness, and suddenly felt unusually cordial, so he nodded, gave way, and sat down to talk. At this time, Song Rou also came out of the house, hurriedly poured a cup of hot water for her uncle with a thermos and handed it to her uncle, and said considerately, Uncle should drink some water first. This also made Seinfeld's mood slowly ease, and his expression seemed better.
Wu Weizhi said that this was not the place for him to reason at length, so he bluntly said to Seinfeld, uncle, such a big thing should not have our part in talking, I just combined my experience of working in the countryside to tell my uncle my feelings, the collective labor organization method that has been practiced in the countryside in the past really cannot arouse the enthusiasm of the peasants, the phenomenon of not contributing to work is too common and too serious, the peasants can't even afford to feed themselves, what city people can still support, and the peasants don't take collective property seriously at allWhoever goes to the countryside can see that a small piece of crop land that grows well must be self-reserved land, and look at the large and long piece of land that can't produce much grain after the autumn, it must be collective, I have also thought in the past, the method of dividing some self-reserved land to the peasants is very good, why don't you simply distribute the land to the peasants and let them plant it themselves, but that's just thinking about it. In the first few months of this year, my uncle really gave the collective land to the peasants to plant for themselves, and when I caught up with the farming, I also went to the countryside curiously to take a look, and when I saw the peasants' enthusiasm soaring to the sky, I felt that I had really found a good way to arouse the enthusiasm of the peasants.
Seinfeld listened to Wu Wei's expression on his face and improved, and as soon as he stopped, he immediately slapped the coffee table with his hand and shouted, it was so happy! He was so happy to hear that, even more excited than he was to see his files reactivated. You must know that he just received the document of dismissal from his superiors, and he could hear such a voice of understanding and support for him, and it was from a young person, he couldn't help but stand up, stretched out his hand to Wu Wei, and after holding Wu Wei's hands, he said with a smile, thank you so much, and thank my niece for finding me a good son-in-law. Lao Liu in your unit is really illiterate, why didn't he see your talent, saying that you are a nerd and nothing, maybe you are hidden in the depths.
This is not equivalent to praising Song Rou. Hearing her uncle say this, Song Rou also turned her worries into joy, sighed and said, Look at what scared us. Hui Lian in the back room heard Wu Wei's voice in the living room, and was slowly attracted, after hearing Seinfeld's voice, she was also relieved, and walked out of the door of the back room into the living room, Seinfeld said as soon as she saw her, old woman, I haven't eaten until now in the morning, and you don't know how to care about me. Quick, a few dishes, I'm going to have some drinks with this little son-in-law.
Unsurprisingly, farmers began to petition in droves to seek justice for Seinfeld. The central government has also taken measures against the province, arranging for the old secretary to retire and sending a new secretary Fan. After the new secretary took office, he came down to visit, it was already the summer hoe season, and along the way, he saw the scene of peasant labor and the growth of crops, and his expression became more and more melancholy. After entering the territory of Furao County, he saw that the growth of crops was very different from the enthusiasm of the farmers, and the more he walked, the more he saw hope, so he asked his entourage, and knew the reason for the matter, so he drove to Furao County, and saw the cadres in the county waiting for him in line, and when he entered the reception room of the county party committee, he just simply greeted him, and asked the secretary of the county party committee to find Song Fei. After waiting for a long time, I saw someone bring a shrewd, capable, tanned middle-aged man to his side, saying that this was Seinfeld, and introducing to Seinfeld that this was the new secretary Fan in the province. Everyone re-seated, and the scene was a little awkward for a while. Secretary Fan did not have polite words, and preached straight to the point, I saw the rural scene all the way out of the provincial capital, and the more I looked at it, the cooler it became, and when I arrived in Furao County, it slowly became hot, not hot, but the scene I saw made me see hope, the hope of farmers, the hope of the locality, and the hope of the country. However, the person who brought us a piece of hope suffered a great misfortune, and that was Comrade Seinfeld.
Secretary Fan changed his words and asked humorously, Comrade Seinfeld, did you also divide a piece of land for yourself, looking at you like this, you are working in the field. The atmosphere in the conference room immediately livened up. Song Fei faced the new provincial party secretary and the county leaders present, and felt that he couldn't say anything for a while, just smiled there. Secretary Fan said decisively, let's do it, Seinfeld will walk with us in a while, chatting as we go. When he saw Seinfeld, he felt that this person was able to optimistically go deep into the countryside to participate in labor in the face of provincial pressure, and that he was able to optimistically go deep into the countryside to participate in labor after being dismissed from his post. Soon after, he appointed Seinfeld as the commissioner of the Nenshui Administration to implement rural reforms in a large area throughout the region.
