Volume 2 Chapter 49 Troubled Waves just passed and then rose
Huang Boyang was injured by the spies and lay on the hospital bed unconscious, Huang Tingting was sorting out the briefcase that her father was carrying, and she saw the appeal materials written by her father for Wang Yunqing in the face. Huang Tingting felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer, so she handed over this material to the head of the Municipal Military Management Committee on behalf of her father without waiting for her father to wake up. Huang Tingting found Feng Xuanxia again and asked Feng Xuanxia to write a detailed material on Wang Yunqing's historical situation, and then she went to the leader in charge with Feng Xuanxia to confirm Wang Yunqing's innocence. The higher-level leaders attached great importance to this matter, and after a thorough investigation and verification, Wang Yunqing's erroneous case was finally corrected. In the first time, Feng Xuanxia informed Mrs. Wang of the news by phone.
After Mrs. Wang knew the whole story, she was very grateful to Huang Boyang's father and daughter and Feng Xuanxia for their sincere help, and she also felt the people's government's work style of seeking truth from facts, and she was moved to tears.
Wang Yunqing was released, and the government sent a car to take him home. On the same day, Luo Zhendong personally came to the door to apologize, he handed the painting of Zheng Banqiao to Mrs. Wang's hand, handed over a box of pastries, smiled and said a lot of apologies before leaving. Then Feng Xuanxia also rushed to visit Wang Yunqing, Feng Xuanxia put Huang Boyang's father and daughter doing everything possible to rescue him, Wang Yunqing was very emotional, he and Feng Xuanxia made an appointment to visit Huang Boyang and his daughter together in a few days, and thanked them in person.
Wang Yunqing was not mistreated during his detention, and his body was quite strong, but he was mentally sluggish. In the little more than a month since he left home, Gui Fang has become the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Wang family, and he is not the slightest surprised by this, nor does he show any displeasure.
At the reception banquet at home, Wang Yunqing took out a red envelope and handed it to Gui Fang, and he said to Gui Fang in a calm tone: "When I was not at home, Hongxing married you, which was not surprising to me. I dreamed about this several times in prison, and I knew that the new society did not pay attention to arranged marriages by parents, and the children were older and their wings were stiffer. I can't control it anymore, now I can only bless you as an elder! Take it, this red envelope is a welcome gift from you, the head of my family, although it is a little late, but it means that our Wang family has officially accepted you. Gui Fang, you are a member of the Wang family when you enter the door of the Wang family, our Wang family pays attention to etiquette, righteousness and shame, and there are many rules, you must slowly learn to adapt in the future. Then he said to Wang Hongxing: "Originally, I resolutely disagreed with your family business, but now that the wood is complete, I can only go with you." However, since you married Gui Fang, you must love her for a lifetime and be responsible for her for a lifetime, and you must not look for flowers and willows outside in the future. And you're not too young, so you're going to go out and make a career in the future. Your parents can't support you for the rest of your life, and you take on the burden of supporting your own family. Wang Hongxing nodded again and again.
Seeing that Wang Yunqing finished speaking, Gui Fang hurriedly walked to her father-in-law and mother-in-law to fill their glasses with wine, and then raised her own wine glass and said sweetly: "Parents, daughter-in-law toast you two elders with a glass." Please rest assured. I will definitely abide by women's morals, honor my in-laws, and be a good daughter-in-law who will satisfy you! In the future, Hongxing and I will give birth to a few white and fat grandsons for the second elder! Let your children and grandchildren enjoy the joy of family around their knees! ”
Gui Fang's clever mouth made Mrs. Wang happily close her mouth, she even praised Gui Fang for being sensible, and drank the wine in the cup with her neck up. Then she instructed Gui Fang: "Gui Fang, you have a child in your belly, drink less wine." ”
Hongxing, who looked red after drinking, saw that his father only took a small sip and did not dry the wine, so he walked up to his father with a wine glass and said, "Dad." Gui Fang will be our daughter-in-law in the future, and she can't drink too much alcohol when she is pregnant. Today is a happy day, and I will toast you on behalf of Guifang. I wish you and my mom all the best and a long life! ”
When Wang Yunqing drank the wine in the toast. Gui Fang picked up the wine jug again and said respectfully to Wang Yunqing: "Dad, this wine is for your daughter-in-law, you can dry this wine!" ”
Wang Yunqing looked at Hongxing and Gui Fang's happy appearance and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Some things don't matter if you like them or not, because they are arranged by fate, the result is only acceptance; Some marriages are destined in the previous life, whether you agree with them or not, you can only bless them. He then raised his glass and said: "Hongxing, Guifang, I wish you two to love each other, a hundred years of good together, early noble son, glorious court." After speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup. Gui Fang hurriedly poured him another glass.
Regarding Wang Hongxing's marriage to Gui Fang, Wang Yunqing didn't say anything, but he was a little unhappy in his heart, plus he remembered the grievances he had suffered recently, so he drank a lot of wine, he was drunk, and he was drunk.
Wang Yunqing had just been rehabilitated and released from prison for a few days, but his bad mood had not eased, and more troubles followed. One day at dusk, a carriage came to the gate of the Wang family, pulling the carriage is a tall and strong jujube red horse, the horse is running out of breath and sweating, the driver is a tenant who lives in the hot spring township, he is Lao Zhang's uncle and brother, and there is a woman in the car, this woman is Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law. After the two men got out of the carriage, they hurriedly knocked on the door of the Wang family.
At Wang's house, the Wang family was sitting around the dining table preparing for dinner, when they were very surprised by the sudden arrival of two countrymen. When Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law saw Wang Yunqing and his wife, she immediately knelt down in front of them, snorted and cried with tears. Wang Yunqing asked Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law in confusion: "Brother and sister, what are you crying about?" What the hell is going on at home? Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law just cried and couldn't speak, Wang Yunqing asked the tenant again, and the tenant sighed with a sad face and said, "Hey! Don't you know, the owner, something big is happening in the countryside! Your house and land are gone! My eldest brother got into a fight with the villagers over the protection of your house, and was arrested as a bad guy by the land reform team. No, we sneaked out to report to you! ”
"Huh? How can this happen! Wang Yunqing and his wife, who had just relieved their emotions for a few days, suddenly became nervous again, and they hurriedly let the two countrymen into the living room to talk. When she came to the living room, Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law wiped her tears after drinking a cup of hot tea and recounted what had happened in the countryside in the past few days.
A few days ago, a working group for land reform came to the village, and they divided the class composition according to the situation of the villagers' land and real estate, and most of the poor villagers under their leadership fought against the landlords to approve the rich peasants, divided the fields and real estate of the rich people, and took away their livestock. When the land reform working group and the poor peasants' association planned to measure and take away the land rented by Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang gave up! He held a wooden stick to block the people who measured the land, "I ask you, you can take away other people's land if you want, you can take other people's houses if you want, and you can take other people's livestock if you want to." Is there a royal law here? ”
"Wang Fa? Now that the reactionaries have been beaten, which sect are you talking about? A young cadre in an old military uniform with a southern accent laughed sarcastically.
Lao Zhang snorted and replied: "I'm talking about the royal law set by the ancestors for thousands of years!" It doesn't make sense for you to snatch other people's property casually, this matter was a lawsuit in the past! ”
When the young cadre heard Lao Zhang say this, he rushed to Lao Zhang angrily and said, "Shut up! We are carrying out a revolution and land reform, fighting local tyrants to divide the land, and you are not allowed to speak for the landlords! If you talk nonsense again, we will impose a revolutionary dictatorship on you! As soon as his voice fell, several land reform activists surrounded Lao Zhang and wanted to do it. At this time, an older cadre stretched out his hand to pull these people away, and he slowly walked up to Lao Zhang and said with a pleasant face: "Fellow, I understand your impulse, which shows that you still don't understand our Communist Party and the land policy we want to implement. The purpose of our agrarian revolution is to overthrow the landlords and kulaks class that has pressed down on you and to liberate you from the great suffering! We want all the peasants in the country to become the masters of their land. We will return to you the fat and ointment that the landlords and rich peasants have drawn from the poor peasants, so that you too can live a life of abundant food and clothing! This man was afraid that Lao Zhang would not understand these great truths, so he opened up and said: "I know a little about your situation, you are also a tenant farmer who has no land of his own, and you are a member of the proletariat who is exploited and oppressed, you should raise your class consciousness and wage a resolute struggle against the landlords and rich peasants, and take back the land that belongs to you!" ”
"I don't have my own land, so I can't rob other people's land?" To be honest, this Lao Zhang really doesn't understand the land reform movement. It's not about messing with the people in the working group.
The elderly cadre asked Lao Zhang: "Fellow countryman, are you willing to be brutally exploited by the landlord class and give the landlord's land to yourself?" ”
Lao Zhang still didn't understand, he said eloquently: "Our owner's land is not robbed or stolen." He paid for it. My ancestors didn't leave me land, and I am very grateful to the owner for letting me plant his land. It's been like this since ancient times, there's nothing wrong with that! ”
"Lao Zhang. You are also poor, so it doesn't matter if you don't divide the land, but why do you speak for the landlords who exploit us? A fellow villager from the same village next to him was very dissatisfied with Lao Zhang.
Lao Zhang still couldn't figure it out. "Some landlords are really bad, but our owner is a good person! He was very polite to the tenants, and every New Year's Day, he had to slaughter a few pigs and give them to our tenants to eat. I remember that year, there was a big drought and the grain harvest failed, and the owner also waived our rent for most of the year! I'm a righteous person, and I have to stand up and speak when I should speak for our host, unlike you who is a guy who sees the wind and steers! ”
The elderly cadre pointed at Lao Zhang bitterly and said: "You, you have been blinded by the small favor of the landlords, and you have no class consciousness at all!" ”
The fellow villager was scolded by Lao Zhang, and he yelled hysterically at Lao Zhang: "You are the scum of our poor peasants, you are the dog leg of the landlord class!" I'm going to knock you down! He rolled up his arms and sleeves, stepped forward and grabbed the clothes on Lao Zhang's chest. Lao Zhang is a violent temper who has never been bullied, he also grabbed the other party, the two of them fought in front of everyone, the sturdy old Zhang only a few strokes beat the opponent with a blue nose and swollen face, under the persuasion of everyone, he still chased the opponent angrily. Looking at the chaotic situation in front of him, the elderly cadre's face became gloomy, and he waved his hand and shouted: "Comrades, arrest this bad element who opposes the land reform movement and speaks for the landlord class!" ”
As soon as the leader spoke, seven or eight people rushed up to press Lao Zhang to the ground, although Lao Zhang tried his best to resist but a punch was difficult to defeat the hands of the people, he was finally tied up with a rope to measure the land. On the day of his arrest, Lao Zhang was escorted by several militiamen to parade through the streets with the landlords and rich peasants, and a big sign was hung around his neck with several big characters written on it: "Lackeys of the landlord class."
After Lao Zhang was paraded into the street, as soon as his wife and children walked out into the street, someone pointed at their backbones and scolded them, and overnight they became the kind of people that the villagers were ashamed of.
After listening to Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law's crying, Wang Yunqing felt very uncomfortable. He knew that he would not be able to keep his land sooner or later, and he also had the idea of actively cooperating with the government's land reform work, and he wanted to suggest to the government that the land reform work should adopt a moderate policy of negotiation and redemption, but he did not expect the land reform in Beiping to come so quickly.
Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law asked Wang Yunqing: "Owner, your land and house are gone, and my man has also been arrested, what do you think can be done?" ”
Looking at the old Zhang's daughter-in-law's red eyes, Wang Yunqing was also at a loss, he comforted the woman and said: "Brother and sister, land reform is a campaign carried out by the government, and the landless farmers will definitely support it. But Lao Zhang is not a bad person, and he must not be allowed to eat melons for me. It's up to me to save your man, don't worry! ”
"The owner is a good person, I thank you on behalf of the child's father!" Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law said that she was about to kneel down again, but Wang Yunqing hurriedly stopped her. At this time, it was getting late, and Wang Yunqing and his wife left these two people to finish dinner before leaving, but Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law was worried about the children at home, so she hurried back without dinner.
After sending these two people away, Wang Yunqing and his wife didn't even eat dinner in a heavy mood, and Shuzhen, Hongxing and Guifang were also very anxious after hearing about it. Collecting land rent is one of the main sources of their family's living expenses, although the Wang family has a strong background, even if they sit and eat for ten or twenty years, it is no problem, but the family can't sit and eat empty! Now that the source of this land rent is cut off, it is a very difficult thing for the Wang family to accept after all! Wang Yunqing decided to go to the village to see the situation in person, and Mrs. Wang was not worried about going with her, so the two of them decided to leave early the next morning. Shuzhen and Hongxing resolutely disagreed with their parents going to the village,
Shuzhen kindly dissuaded: "Mom and Dad, since the land and houses have been distributed to the farmers, if we don't come back, don't go!" When you arrive, aren't you afraid that you will be arrested by the people who are making a land reform campaign and hold a struggle meeting? ”
Wang Yunqing replied with a wry smile: "I just don't go, do you think those people in the village won't come to our house to arrest me, a big landlord?" I can't escape this catastrophe! ”
Gui Fang has a different opinion on this matter, she said: "I didn't recruit anyone and didn't provoke anyone, I didn't even have a consultation, and my own land and house were divided, which is too unreasonable!" Our family has to talk to them. I feel that Hongxing is the heir to our family's property, and he should accompany his parents! ”
Wang Hongxing waved his hand again and again timidly: "No, I can't go, and my parents don't go, it's bad luck to be there at this time!" ”
"Hongxing, you're a man! Our family's property has been robbed by others, and you don't stand up and ask for an explanation, but you are like a coward who shrinks his head and brain, and he has no blood at all! Gui Fang pursed her lips angrily.
Wang Yunqing stopped Gui Fang: "Gui Fang, you can't say this about Hongxing, this land reform is the government's policy, and Hongxing can't change the reality even if it is bloody, this is a fate that cannot be resisted." I didn't go this time to recover my property, but to rescue Lao Zhang. ”
When the children saw that their parents were resolute, they had no choice but to let them go. (To be continued......)
