After the people in the village have left after eating and drinking, only Zhang Youcai and his son Fugui and daughter-in-law Jianmei are left in the whole family, Zhang Youcai knows that today is the day of his son's wealth, in addition to a hall in the house, there is only one side room left, when Fugui has not married, Zhang Youcai will still squeeze with his son Fugui in the side room, but now that his son Fugui has become married, he dare not squeeze together with his son anymore.

"Fugui, Jianmei, today you are married, Dad has nothing to give you, when the situation is better in the future, Dad will make up for you, and Dad plans to go to your Renyi uncle's house tonight, you just leave me alone, rest early!" , Zhang Youcai said in front of his son and daughter-in-law.

After Zhang Youcai finished speaking, he shook his body and was about to stand up and walk out the door, when his daughter-in-law Li Jianmei called out to him, "Dad, where are you going!" This is your home, you don't have to go anywhere, although I know that there is a side room in the house that can be lived, but I don't want you to go to other people's houses to live, so that others will laugh at me, saying that I and Fugui will drive you out as soon as they get married."

Zhang Youcai turned around and said to Jianmei: "Jianmei, Dad knows that you are filial, but there is a side room in the house that can be lived, today is a day for you to be happy with the rich, it is not appropriate for Dad to stay at home, Dad is still counting on you to give Dad a big fat boy."

"Dad, I am also a villager, and there is nothing to pay attention to, we still have a hall, and you will sleep in a side room in the future, and I and Fugui can just lay on the floor in the hall", Li Jianmei said to Zhang Youcai categorically.

As she spoke, Li Jianmei and Fugui took out a quilt from the side room, walked to the hall, spread a layer of straw mat on the ground of the hall, and then spread a thin blanket on it, and finally put the quilt on it and spread it neatly.

Zhang Youcai saw that his daughter-in-law Li Jianmei was so filial, the tears in the corners of his eyes rolled down from time to time, Zhang Youcai was old, and his snot would always flow out with tears when he cried, he wiped his tears and snot with his hands, and walked to the hall and said to his daughter-in-law Li Jianmei: "Jianmei, today is a day of great joy for you and wealth, let you sleep in this partial room!" Daddy just sleeps in the hall."

After Zhang Youcai finished speaking, his daughter-in-law Li Jianmei did not have any reaction, and still continued to lay the bunk, Zhang Youcai knew that the child was filial and didn't want to let himself sleep in the hall and get cold, so he turned his head and said: "Jianmei, so be it!" Tonight, you and Fugui sleep in a side room, and tomorrow you will move to the hall to make a floor, let me make a floor in the hall today! Otherwise, I don't want to be a father."

After several persuasions from Zhang Youcai, daughter-in-law Li Jianmei finally agreed with what she said, and slept in a partial room with her son Fugui, and Zhang Youcai became happy.

At night, there were a few stars shining in the sky, the wind was blowing gently, Zhang Youcai fell asleep in the side room, pulling and snorting from time to time, Zhang Fugui and his daughter-in-law Li Jianmei were lying on the bed in the side room.

Fugui was a little stunned when he was in close contact with a woman for the first time, only knowing that he was hot and dry, and he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, Li Jianmei turned around and said in Fugui's ear: "Fugui, can't you sleep?" What's wrong? ”

Fugui responded and said: "Jianmei, my body is hot and dry, maybe the quilt is covered too much, see if you can take the quilt away to sleep better."

Jianmei knew why Fugui's body was hot, but she was always a woman, a little shy, and she was embarrassed to say those words from her mouth, so she moved the quilt aside according to what Fugui said.

Fugui originally thought that he would sleep better after removing the quilt, but his body was still hot and uncomfortable, so he turned it over and over again.

After all, Fugui has no mother since he was a child, and although he has seen other people's families marry, he doesn't know anything about the flowers and candles in this cave house.

Jianmei watched Fugui toss and turn, and she couldn't sleep, so she hugged Fugui tightly with both hands, and Fugui stopped all of a sudden, but what followed was the joy of fish and water.

In the past few days after marriage, Fugui seems to have understood what a cave house flower candle is, and he is as addicted to dry tobacco as his father Zhang Youcai, and he always can't wait to build a plum fish and water with his daughter-in-law every night, and sing songs every night.

Time passed day by day, and within two months of getting married, Jianmei became pregnant, which made Zhang Youcai's family happy, Zhang Youcai and Fugui said happily every time they went to the field to "work": "Fugui is going to have a baby, and I want to be a grandfather."

Da Zhuang, who was also in the same production team, smiled and catered to Zhang Youcai and said: "Uncle Youcai, the rich brother is really good, there will be movement so soon, but it is earlier than me!" ”。

After Da Zhuang finished speaking, Zhang Youcai spat into the palm of his hand, patted his palm and said: "Definitely okay, you don't look at whose seed is rich, my Zhang Youcai's seed must be the top one."

Zhang Youcai's son Zhang Fugui stood not far from his father Zhang Youcai's chat, carrying a hoe and listening to what his father Zhang Youcai and Da Zhuang said, smiling happily, digging hard to weed, and being very happy, thinking that he was going to be a father, he waved the hoe to dig the ground even more, and his whole body seemed to have inexhaustible strength.

But then Fugui also began to worry, he will be a father in a few months, and the poor in his family can only barely maintain the rations of him and his father Zhang Youcai, as well as his daughter-in-law Li Jianmei.

Just as Fugui was sitting on the stone barrier outside his house and worrying, he suddenly thought of Jianguo, and the sentence that Jianguo left for him before he left was buzzing in his head again.

At first, he didn't dare to think much or think deeply, but seeing his daughter-in-law Li Jianmei's belly getting bigger and bigger, he was even more worried, and finally he made up his mind to go door to door to see if he could get everyone's consent, after all, these things can't work alone, otherwise if the news leaks, this is not a joke.

It was dark and dark this day, and he called all the people in the village who were "going to work" to Zhang Renyi's house at the entrance of the village, and found one or two people to take care of the wind at the door of Renyi's house.

"Fugui, is there something urgent about you calling us to Uncle Renyi's house!" , Zhang Dazhuang said.

"Then what do you think I'm calling you all to Uncle Renyi's house today?" Zhang Fugui said.

The people in the village looked at each other and didn't know what Zhang Fugui was going to say, so they shook their heads.

Zhang Fugui saw that none of them spoke, so he continued: "Everyone also knows that our village is poor, and I don't know what's wrong with it these days, we have all been getting poorer and poorer in recent years, and we can't even make a few decent dishes for the New Year, you all tell me how to fix this situation."

People in the village, you look at me, I look at you, and I know in my heart: "Some people "go to work" in order to earn a few more centimeters, a day's work is divided into several days, and the work is not good, so the seedlings in the land do not grow high, and the harvest is naturally not much."

"Fugui, listen to your tone, do you have any good way to take us to a good time!" , Zhang Dazhuang asked eagerly.

Zhang Fugui said in a tricky manner: "I have a good way to let the people in our village live a good life, but I'm afraid that some of you don't have the courage to do it!" ”。

Zhang Dazhuang patted his chest and said: "There is nothing that I Zhang Dazhuang dare not do, as long as I can live a good situation, I must be bold."

When Zhang Fugui spit out the three words "responsibility system" from his mouth, everyone quieted down one by one, and even Da Zhuang, who was quite tough just now, instantly lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, "What's wrong, what's wrong with all of them, don't they all say that as long as the situation is good, they all have the courage?" Why are they all cowardly? Zhang Fugui said.

Just as Zhang Fugui was about to say more, several people in the village raised their heads slightly and said to Fugui: "My family still has something to do, so I'll leave first."

Before they could take a few steps, Zhang Fugui shouted: "Stop, come back for me, run what you want, I won't eat you, I just want to take everyone to live a good life together."

"Think about it, if we implement a responsibility system for the public land and divide the land, and the land is your own, then who will not sell their strength into it, I think I'm afraid that even and pee will have to run to their own fields!" , Zhang Fugui continued.

"Fugui, this is the reason, but if it is discovered, it will be ...... Zhang Dazhuang said.

"Da Zhuang, just now you patted your chest and said that you were bold, why did you coax it all of a sudden, and it is also a loss that your name is still called Da Zhuang, I think you had better change your name in the future, and you can directly call it Da Zhuang, how can you live a good life if you do something for a man", Fugui said angrily towards Da Zhuang.

Zhang Dazhuang was a little speechless, tilted his head and squatted in the corner, and other people in the village did not dare to speak, for fear that if he said the wrong thing and was heard by others, he would go to the town to ventilate and report the news, which would be miserable.

The gentlemen in the room suddenly became a bunch of little girls and didn't dare to speak, and after a while, Da Zhuang, who was sitting in the corner, stood up and said: "Fugui, we don't dare to do it, we are afraid that there will be a case, then it will be ......

"If you want me to tell me what you are afraid of, there are only a few of us in the whole room, who will hear it, and since we want to engage in a responsibility system, then everyone must write a name on a piece of paper and press a seal, as long as we don't say it ourselves, who can know! Do you think that's the reason," Zhang Fugui said.

"Wealth, this is the reason, but there are still ears on the wall, this is not afraid of 10,000, just in case!" , Zhang Dazhuang said.

"As long as we don't go out and talk about it, write our names and handprints, go to work as usual every day, and wait for the autumn harvest to pay enough grain to the government, then won't the rest be our own? Besides, if you still have an idea, you can grow a small cabbage or something like that in winter, so that we can plant something in our free time in the field, and the situation in this house will not be better," Zhang Fugui said.

Listening to what Zhang Fugui said, all of them were moved, so they found a piece of paper at Renyi's house, and asked Uncle Renyi to write some simple rules and regulations of the responsibility system on the top of the paper, and everyone wrote their own names on the paper, pressed their own blood-colored handprints on the name, and after writing the handprints, Zhang Fugui wrapped the paper and carefully handed it to Zhang Renyi.

After all, everyone in the village knew that although Zhang Renyi didn't have any special skills in his life, he was as benevolent and righteous as his name, so they were relieved to ask him to keep the paper with his handprint and name.
