Not long after sowing the seeds, Zhang Jianguo hurried back from other places, and as soon as he returned, he shouted that the whole village wanted the whole village to divide up the public land, and no one in the whole village dared to pay attention to him, for fear of being arrested by the Red Guards and sent to labor re-education.

It is said that Zhang Tianyou, the head of Zhangjia Village, has two sons, the eldest son Zhang Jianjun was kicked in the early years because his head was kicked by a donkey, so he went crazy, and the second son Zhang Jianguo, although his head is more normal, but he just doesn't want to stay in the village, so he wants to go south and north to see everywhere.

However, after Zhang Jianguo, who had been away from his hometown for a few years, came back, the people in the village thought that he had gone out and made a fortune, so he didn't come back for a long time.

As soon as Zhang Jianguo came back, he set off a storm in the village, and as soon as he came back, he quarreled with his father Zhang Tianyou to divide the land and implement the household contract responsibility system.

Zhang Tianyou knew how powerful this was, so he always scolded his son angrily and said: "You rabbit cub, you have been away from home for so many years, as soon as you come back, you will give your father these useless moths, if you dare to mention it to me, I will break your dog's legs."

Zhang Jianguo knew that he couldn't say this to his father Zhang Tianyou, after all, it was useless to say it, so he took advantage of the darkness to find his childhood friend Zhang Fugui, and wanted to win him over to engage in a responsibility system.

Zhang Fugui is not as knowledgeable as Zhang Jianguo, nor is he educated, and he doesn't know what the responsibility system is, but he understands very well that he can't take the public land as his own, but in the face of Zhang Jianguo, his playmate who has been playing since he was a child, he always listens carefully to Zhang Jianguo's talk.

"Fugui, just tell me if you are willing to engage in this responsibility system with me," Zhang Jianguo said.

"What, the founding of the country, what is the responsibility system? What exactly is accountability? Zhang Fugui asked.

"Look at your unproductive appearance, you know that you don't know, the responsibility system is to divide the public land, and then become your own", Zhang Jianguo responded to Zhang Fugui and said.

"What...... That's worth it, it's ...... Jianguo, don't talk about it, I don't dare to do it anyway, and I can't do it, so you better find someone else", Zhang Fugui said in surprise.

Zhang Jianguo saw that his playmate Fugui, who had played since he was a child, did not dare to engage in a responsibility system with himself, so he caught Zhang Fugui's weakness in a hurry, and said from his mouth: "Fugui, you ...... Just tell me if you want to marry a daughter-in-law."

Zhang Fugui touched the old shell suspiciously, "What does this daughter-in-law have to do with the responsibility system, can you marry a daughter-in-law by engaging in the responsibility system?" ”

Zhang Jianguo saw that Zhang Fugui's heart was shaken, so he eagerly explained to him: "Fugui, just tell me why the girls in our village are not willing to stay in the village for so many years, not all of them marry in other places in fifteen, sixteen or seven, and the girls outside the village are not willing to marry in our Zhangjia Village, you see that you are almost twenty-five years old and still single", do you know why?

"The founding of the country, it's not because our village is poor, we all know this, but isn't the situation of everyone's family the same now? Why bother," Zhang Fugui said.

"Come on, you are still an understanding person, but what I want to tell you is that if our village also engages in a responsibility system, divides the public land and then pays enough to the collective after the grain is harvested, then the rest is not all your own, I probably calculated, the situation of our village will be doubled this year!" Zhang Jianguo said carefully.

Although Zhang Fugui didn't know what the responsibility system did, as soon as he heard Zhang Jianguo say that he could turn the situation in the village around, he listened more seriously, but Zhang Fugui was timid, afraid of making political mistakes, and heard that the responsibility system would divide the land of the public family, so he didn't dare to continue to think about it.

After Zhang Fugui listened to Zhang Jianguo's responsibility system, he muttered and said: "Jianguo, I heard you say that you are the first to say, but ...... But if you divide all the land of the public family, isn't this going against the public family? Your father is the village chief, and you can't control you if you talk about the Red Guards in the village, but I'm ...... I'm just an honest farmer, and I don't know what responsibility system is, but I admit a dead reason, that is, no matter how hard and tired I am, I don't dare to divide the public land, my father Zhang Youcai dedicated the first half of his life to the country, and I don't dare to smear my father's face again."

After Zhang Fugui finished speaking, he stood up from the mud, patted his buttocks, turned around and walked into his own mud house, Zhang Jianguo saw that he couldn't even call his playmate Zhang Fugui, who had been playing since he was a child, so he was a little disheartened, and he also got up from the mud and patted his ass and went home.

Zhang Fugui walked into the house and saw his father Zhang Youcai digging a small lump of dry tobacco with his own cigarette cloth bag and lighting it and smoking, Zhang Youcai swallowed bursts of pungent smoke from his mouth every time he smoked the cigarette pouch, and the smoke slowly spread into the house, Zhang Fugui covered his mouth and coughed every time he saw his father Zhang Youcai smoking eye bags, and his father Zhang Youcai also smoked hard every time he saw Fugui coughing because of his own eye bags, he smoked hard and then extinguished the cigarette butt, and extinguished the dry tobacco butt that had not been smoked and put it back into the eye bag. Save for next time.

After Zhang Youcai extinguished the cigarette butt, he sat aside and shook his body and said to Fugui: "Fugui! Didn't that stinky boy from Jianguo come to you just now! What did you say? ”

Zhang Fugui has been dependent on Zhang Youcai since he was a child, and in the face of his father's questioning, he said what Zhang Jianguo said to him just now without any scruples.

After listening to this, Zhang Youcai patted his thigh with his hand and said, "Rich! Jianguo, that stinky boy, you must not be fooled by him! Dad has lived for most of his life, although there is no scenery, but he has not insulted his ancestors, you must not be stupid and not be the first bird! ”。

Zhang Fugui has been obedient to his father since he was a child, and he has never had any rebellious thoughts, and he will do whatever his father says, because he knows that his father Zhang Youcai has worked hard for him for most of his life, and he thinks that one day he will be rich and noble like his name, so that he can better take care of his father Zhang Youcai and provide for him to die.

Zhang Fugui pity his father Zhang Youcai gave him the best from childhood to adulthood, his father couldn't bear to let him starve and freeze, even the pair of shabby old cloth shoes he was wearing were given to Zhang Fugui, and he was made of hemp rope to weave a pair of straw sandals to wear on his feet, the villagers often worked barefoot in the crops so that the soles of the feet had thick calluses, and it was good when it was hot, although the straw shoes were a little grinding, but the thick calluses on the soles of the feet were not conscious, but when it was cold, it was so cold that it could not stand it, Therefore, as Zhang Youcai gets older, the rheumatism on his legs and feet becomes more and more serious.

Zhang Fugui, a young man in the prime of life, is very tall, but because he was full and hungry when he was growing up, the days of eating the last meal and not the next meal made his whole person look dry, sometimes when he went to the field to "work", he would always be hungry and dizzy, with a hazi flowing in his mouth, and he was tired, and sometimes he hid himself in his house and cried, the purpose was not to let his father Zhang Youcai see his uncompetitive appearance.

In the next few days, Zhang Jianguo visited almost every household in the village, with the aim of winning over the people in the village to engage in what he called the responsibility system, but the people in the village were relatively timid, and when they heard him say that the responsibility system was to divide the land of the public family, they no longer listened to it, and they were afraid that they would make a political mistake if they were not careful, and if they were accidentally denounced, they would be taken to re-education through labor for criticism.

Zhang Tianyou has a younger brother named Zhang Tianming, and he also saw that the people in the village were bewitched by what kind of responsibility system his nephew Zhang Jianguo said, Zhang Tianming had to compete with his brother Zhang Tianyou for anything since he was a child, as the so-called country is easy to change, and his nature is difficult to change, seeing that his nephew Zhang Jianguo is spreading rumors in the village, he is ready to plan to go to the dragon riding town to denounce his nephew for drumming right and wrong, so that his brother will lose his official position, and he can also profit from it.

Zhang Renyi, who lived in the village, saw Zhang Tianming looking mysterious and was rushing to the town in a hurry, and people who had lived in the village for a long time knew that every time Zhang Tianming rushed to the town, nothing good would happen in the village.

Therefore, the people in the village are slowly getting used to it, as long as they see Zhang Tianming rushing to the town, something will happen in the village, so the people in the village have a conventional saying: as long as Tianming drives the dragon riding town, the village will never be restless.

Zhang Renyi saw Zhang Tianming rushing to the town in a hurry, so he hurriedly ran to the village, preparing to report to the village chief Zhang Tianyou.

When Zhang Renyi ran to the door of the village chief Zhang Tianyou out of breath, he shouted: "Oh no, no, Zhang Tianming has gone to the town."

Zhang Renyi's voice was a little louder, so that the surrounding neighbors heard it, and the people in the neighborhood were at a loss as soon as they heard Zhang Tianming going to the town, and they were all frightened in their hearts, and said in their mouths: "Oh, my God, what can I do about this, this Zhang Tianming shouldn't have heard the responsibility system we and Zhang Jianguo said, go to the town to sue us for the evil situation!" What can I do now?"

Just as the people in the village who were in the neighborhood shook their bodies in fear and walked out of their homes and gathered around the door of the village chief Zhang Tianyou's house, wanting to ask for an explanation, in order to have peace of mind, some villagers said with a dialect at the door of the village chief: "Zhang Tianyou, you come out quickly, don't cower at home like a turtle, your second son Jianguo can hurt us."

Zhang Tianyou heard the neighbors in this village shouting and scolding outside the door at home, he was already a little unorthodox, frowning angrily, stamping his feet with a stick in his hand, and saying in his mouth: "Son, son!" ”

Zhang Tianyou was angry for a while, and then came over and ordered Zhang Renyi, who was standing aside to report the news, and said, "Renyi! My son Jianguo is not angry, and he has brought trouble to the people in the village, and the people in our village must be looking for him now, you are ...... Go and help me find him, and when I find him, let him not come back, let him go out and avoid the limelight, otherwise this country will be ......

Zhang Renyi was as benevolent as his name said, so he readily agreed to Zhang Tianyou's request and hurriedly ran out of Zhang Tianyou's house.

The people in the village watched Zhang Renyi run out of Zhang Tianyou's house, but they didn't particularly care about Zhang Renyi when they didn't see Zhang Tianyou and Zhang Jianguo, and they still made a lot of noise at the door of Zhang Tianyou's house.
