Chapter 15 Land Responsibility System

Wang Weiliang, secretary of the county party committee, and Chen Ziang, secretary of the county party committee, had just returned to the county and had not yet rested, and soon after they convened a meeting of the county's leading group.

A boxy rectangular wooden table was placed in the conference room of the county party committee, and chairs painted red were placed on both sides of the wooden table.

"Comrades, do you know why I am in such a hurry to summon you all over for this meeting?" Wang Weiliang said sonorously.

The leading group of the county was deeply puzzled, and everyone stared at Wang Weiliang, secretary of the county party committee, with round eyes, and no one made a sound.

Wang Weiliang, secretary of the county party committee, continued: "I went to inspect various towns and villages in the county today, and they all said that hearing is false, seeing is believing, and the towns and villages I went to inspect today are all holding a welcome party for me with great fanfare. Has it become a model village and a harvest village as said in the township, but I have only really seen the truth of all this in Zhangjia Village, Qilong Town."

"Today, Xiao Chen accompanied me to inspect various towns and villages, and I believe that he also has a lot of feelings, so let him tell us all about what we saw and heard during this inspection," Wang Weiliang said.

"This time I accompanied Secretary Wang to inspect almost all the townships in the county mentioned model villages, harvest villages, at first I saw several township model villages are perfunctory to prevaricate our sight, until we arrived in Zhangjia Village, Qilong Town, Secretary Wang and I really saw the most real side of their lives, such as .........

"What happened is what Xiao Chen just said, this examination is also a study, I have profoundly learned the wisdom of the vast number of working people, among which I am most worthy of deep thought, a young man named Zhang Fugui said, do you all know what he said? He used the simplest language but told me the greatest truth."

"We all know that the situation in various towns and villages has not been very good in recent years, so does anyone know why this situation is not good! In the final analysis, it is a land issue, and the province has also issued instructions on this issue, asking our leading cadres at the bottom to learn how to adapt measures to local conditions and to the conditions of the time, and I also want to solicit the opinions of everyone on what should be done to solve the current problem of feeding the people and the most basic security problem," Wang Weiliang said sternly.

After Wang Weiliang, secretary of the county party committee, finished speaking, the leading group of the county became silent, no one dared to say anything, and they didn't know what to say.

Seeing that no one spoke, Wang Weiliang continued: "I think that the peasants' land problem should be solved by the peasants themselves, and we have gone through several bumpy roads in the past few years, but as the leading group of the county, we should be more concerned about whether the people at the bottom are doing well, whether they are all well fed and warmly dressed, and if we can't even understand these problems, then what do we need to do."

I think everyone can sit in the office and can sit in it, but can it be that sitting in the office can make the people's situation better? I don't think so, if we want the people to live a good life, we, the leading groups, should all go to the bottom to experience life, to feel the scarce things of the people at the bottom and their way of life.

Although the young man named Zhang Fugui is illiterate and does not know a single word, he can come up with a good way to let the people in the village live a good life, I think these are all worth learning from us, not that our county's leading group can solve many problems with how educated they are, in the final analysis, we still have to proceed from reality, from the masses and then to the masses.

Therefore, I have decided to let all the townships, towns, and villages in the county implement the land contract responsibility system, so that the land will be in the hands of the people and the people will develop themselves.

When Wang Weiliang finished speaking, the county leaders present were whispering, feeling that it was somewhat inappropriate to distribute the land to the people, and what if there was a dispute during the division of the land!

Seeing that the leading groups in the county were hesitant, Wang Weiliang said categorically: "I will bear all the consequences of this decision, and as long as the people of the townships and towns can be fed and clothed with warm clothes, I will be happy even if I am not the secretary of the county party committee."

After Wang Weiliang finished speaking, the county's leadership team stopped speaking, and all of them packed up the small notebooks they had placed on the wooden table, stood up and walked out of the conference room.

A few days after the meeting, all the townships and villages in the county received the document issued by the county, which basically stated that the land should be subject to a responsibility system and that the land should be returned to the peasants.

As soon as they heard the good news, the peasants in every town and village were smiling happily, some jumped up excitedly, some opened the door of their homes excitedly, ran to the land with a smile from the door, grabbed a handful of dirt from the land and put it next to the bridge of their noses and smelled it, and this familiar and wonderful smell of the earth fascinated them one by one.

Zhang Fugui of Zhangjia Village, Qilong Town, also received the good news that the county issued a document, and the family happily took out the rice of this year's harvest, put a large bowl of rice grains in a bowl, put an appropriate amount of water in the pot, and lit a firewood to cook the rice, the boiling water slowly cooked the rice grains, exuding a burst of fragrance, and this fragrance spread in Zhang Youcai's earthen tile house.

After Zhang Tianyou, the head of Zhangjia Village, received the red-headed document from the county, he felt that he was a little old and a little powerless, and Fugui could dare to lead the people in the village to live a good life, which he Zhang Tianyou could not do, so he decided to hand over the position of village head to Fugui, and let Fugui lead the people in the village to live a good life.

He walked out of the house step by step with a stick, and passed through every house in the village step by step, and along the way he saw that the villagers in the village were all smiling, and even the dog raised by Zhang Dazhuang in the village wagged his tail and stuck out his tongue and barked.

When he came to the door of Zhang Youcai's house, he saw Zhang Youcai sitting alone in the sunshine and smoking dry tobacco on the stone ridge at the door of his house, and he shouted to Zhang Youcai, "Youcai, you are really at ease this day!" Sitting on the stone ridge at the door of the house, a person leisurely smokes dry tobacco, and he is quite good at enjoying it! ”

After Zhang Youcai saw the village chief Zhang Tianyou, he stood up and shook the clothes draped on his body, and said to Zhang Tianyou with a smile: "The village chief said that he laughed, I am afraid that I will smoke drought smoke at home and smoke the two dolls who will become rich, so I will go to the stone outside the house to smoke dry tobacco, and after a smoke, you can also bask in the sun."

"Talented! Is Fortune at home? Zhang Tianyou asked.

"Yes! Fugui is cooking big white rice at home! I don't know what the village chief is doing with wealth! Zhang Youcai said suspiciously.

"Talented! Let's go inside and talk about it! You can also take a look at the two big fat boys of Fugui, don't you say, since these two dolls were born, I haven't seen them, let me see the two big fat boys of Fugui", Zhang Tianyou said with a smile.

Zhang Youcai packed up the cigarette pouch and accompanied Zhang Tianyou into the house, the air in the room exuded a smell of rice, Li Jianmei, a woman, sat on the bed with one hand and held Shao'an who was waiting to be fed, and one hand stroked Shaoping who was lying on the bed, Shaoping looked at Li Jianmei with round eyes and fingers, and Fugui was squatting next to the stove to add some firewood to the stove.

Fugui saw the village chief Zhang Tianyou walking in with his father Zhang Youcai for the first time, so he stood up and smiled and invited the village chief Zhang Tianyou to sit down.

"Uncle Tianyou, is there something urgent when you come to the house! It's inconvenient for you to move around all the time, if there is something you can ask people to come over and say, wouldn't it be better for me to go over? Zhang Fugui said.

"Rich! Uncle You, I'm old, but it's still okay to walk a few steps in this body, just come over to see your two big fat boys, I'm so happy! Zhang Tianyou said with a smile.

Fugui shouted into the inner room, "Jianmei, Uncle Tianyou is coming to our house, you clean up the doll, I will accompany Uncle Tianyou to come in and see the doll", Li Jianmei responded after hearing it.

Zhang Tianyou followed Fugui into the back room, and saw Li Jianmei sitting on the side, stroking the two dolls lying on the bed with one hand, so he walked forward and gently touched the faces of the two dolls with his hands, and then said happily: "The skin of these two dolls is really delicate, just like when our family founded the country."

As soon as Zhang Tianyou mentioned his son Zhang Jianguo, tears poured out of his eye sockets, and Fugui saw Zhang Tianyou crying, so he hurriedly asked: "Uncle Tianyou, what's wrong with you?" Is there someone bullying you, you tell me, I'll hammer him, although Jianguo is not at home, but I will definitely take good care of you for Jianguo."

Zhang Tianyou wiped his tears with his sleeve, sobbed and said, "Rich! No one bullied me, but when my uncle saw the two dolls on your bed, my uncle remembered the founding of the country, so my uncle couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable."

"Uncle Tianyou, although Jianguo is not at home, but Fugui has played well with Jianguo since he was a child, and Jianguo thinks about me for anything delicious and fun, and now Jianguo is not at home, if there is anything you need at home, you will only talk to me, and Fugui will guarantee that it will be done properly for you", Zhang Fugui said with a smile.

"Rich! Uncle knows that you are a good boy, uncle is old and old, Jianguo this child may not be able to come back, my eldest Jianjun is crazy, and the family has nothing to rely on now, but the basic life can still be maintained, Uncle is here to hand over the position of village chief to you", Zhang Tianyou said.

Zhang Fugui was a little surprised after hearing this, even Zhang Youcai, who was standing on the side, was surprised, Zhang Fugui said with a smile: "Uncle Tianyou, you have done a good job with this village chief, why do you want to leave it to me!" Besides, wealth can't do it! ”

"Rich! Didn't you just say that Uncle would ask you to help if he had any difficulties? Why doesn't it count all at once," Zhang Tianyou said.

Uncle Tianyou, the help that Fugui said is not this, and he doesn't know a word in Fugui Douda, if you want me to be the village head, I can't help with this, otherwise I will only help more and more.
