Zhao Qi brought Li Fengjiang, Su Cheng, Qin Xiangmei and others to meet the second elder. "Abba and Mommy, the child Zhao Qi is not filial, and I was able to come back today to visit your two elders." Zhao Qi said, kneeling on the ground, crying silently. The two elders also wiped away their tears, and Wei Ping said: "My heart! You can make Grandma worry about death, I haven't heard from me for so long, I heard that I joined the Communist Party, I don't know whether I am dead or alive, this time I finally saw it, hurry up! The eldest brother and the second brother stepped forward and helped Zhao Qi up, and the brothers hugged each other and greeted each other for a while, Zhao Dacheng instructed the eldest son and the second son to help Captain Li and Su Cheng settle the troops, and then said to Zhao Qi: "Zhao Qi, what are you Communist Party going to do when you come to our tun this time?" How long to stay? "This time I came to share my own property, can my parents agree? Thinking of this, Zhao Qi smiled and said: "Abba, our Communist Party has been active in this area, passing by the door, how can we not come back to see it?" What's more, it's only natural for a son to see Grandma, right, Grandma? Wei Ping walked over and grabbed his son's hand and said to Zhao Dacheng: "This old man, it's really weird, my son didn't come back, he chattered all day long, 'When will the youngest son come back to see us?'" Now the son was standing before him, as if he were reluctant. Zhao Dacheng said nervously; What do you know? Look at it, your son brought so many people, I don't think he can leave for a day or two, it's the same everywhere, the Communist Party is coming, the poor are happy, the rich are unlucky, you can ask your son what he is going to do. Wei Ping said: "Just ask, I'm afraid you won't succeed?" Son, tell your mother what you plan to do this time besides coming back to see your grandma? Zhao Qi hugged Grandma's shoulders and said, "Abba and Grandma, you have all heard about it, the People's Liberation Army has reached Hunan, not far from us." When Zhao Qi said this, he stared at the faces of the two old men, and he wanted to test the old man's attitude towards the current situation first, so as to prescribe the right medicine, step by step, and do a good job in propaganda and persuasion. When Zhao Dacheng heard this, he said unwillingly: "Hunan is gone, there is still Guangxi, Chief Bai is a fierce general, and resourceful, known as 'Little Zhuge ', I believe he can compete with the Communist Party and defend Guangxi." Zhao Qi knew that Abba still had a trace of illusions about the Kuomintang, and he had to get rid of this idea, Zhao Qi said: "Chiang Kai-shek is powerful enough, right, now, isn't he also fleeing to Taiwan?" Bai Chongxi is powerful, but he can't stop the People's Liberation Army from liberating Hunan, right? How can tiny Guangxi stop the million-strong army of the People's Liberation Army? Zhao Dacheng concealed the frustration in his heart, picked up the teacup on the coffee table, took a sip of tea tremblingly, and didn't dare to say anything more. In fact, when he said this, his heart was empty, not because he couldn't see the current situation clearly, but because he was unwilling, after all, the Kuomintang represented the interests of rich people like them. Zhao Qizhi said that Abba was unwilling to lose his existing vested interests, and continued to enlighten: "The defeat of the Kuomintang is doomed, just like a vegetable, it is rotten from the heart, can it still be saved?" Whether it is Chiang Kai-shek, Li Zongren, or Bai Chongxi, they cannot change the fate of failure, which is the inevitability of history. Don't talk about the big ones, let's talk about the small ones, look at the township chief of this Tanliang Township, the captain of the Self-Defense Force, which is not corrupt and corrupt, and then look at the rampant ruffians and bullies in the township, bullying the market, oppressing the people, and doing some extortion. If this continues, will there be a future for the country? Is this government still worth embracing? Doesn't this corrupt regime need to be overthrown? Zhao Dacheng was speechless and lowered his head in shame. Wei Ping saw the old man's embarrassed appearance, and hurriedly said: "My son is right, don't want this corrupt government." Okay, that's all for today's state affairs, my son has just come back, and we're chatting about family things. So everyone picked up their life in the guerrillas and some trivial matters at home, and the atmosphere in the hall became harmonious, and gradually filled with laughter.

Zhao Qi summoned Li Fengjiang, Su Cheng, Lin Yi, Ma Zhengtao, Qin Xiangmei and others to analyze the situation of the Zhao family and study the breakthrough in the next step. Zhao Qi said: "Judging from the work in the past two days, my grandma's problem is not big, the key is that my father's thoughts still have concerns. Li Fengjiang said: "I think, you can't just say it, your Abba has resistance, you have to start with the people on the side, and you don't lose a good strategy." In the past two days, I have seen your two brothers, helping our team, arranging food and accommodation very carefully, it is better to make a fuss from them. Qin Xiangmei said: "Yes, the two elder brothers are both understanding people, they are very yearning for everything about us, they are very interested, and they are also very kind to our people, and they are the objects we should strive for." By the way, Deputy Political Commissar, what about your two sisters? Zhao Qi replied: "I married out of Lu, not in Tunli." "Oh, so that's the case, Qin Xiangmei thought, if my sister was here, it would be better for a woman to do a woman's job. Zhao Qi smiled, his frowning brows also relaxed, and said: "This is very good, and then, I will convene a family meeting of the whole family, explain our intentions and the party's policies, let them make a decision, and the next step can be carried out." That's it, you should hurry up and do a good job in the ideological work of my two elder brothers. ”

The eldest brother Zhao Lai and the second brother Zhao Fu have been very busy in the past two days. The soldiers were training, they were busy carrying water and tea, the soldiers were taking political lessons, Zhao Qi was talking on it, and he brought a small stool, sat in the back and listened, and learned from the soldiers, holding a notebook, listening and taking notes, looking serious. When taking cultural classes, he assisted Qin Xiangmei and tutored the soldiers in culture. When the soldiers were eating, they asked if the food was good or bad. When the fighters were resting, they often walked over to ask for warmth. Especially seeing that the officers and soldiers in the Communist Party team are the same, the army and the people are the same, like a family, I feel very fresh, Zhao Lai said to Xiangmei with emotion: "Everyone in the Communist Party team is equal, how good!" With you, I feel very fulfilled, I have endless energy, I feel that life is meaningful, and I really want to be like you. Xiangmei said, "You can do it, your brother can do both." Zhao Lai said happily: "Really? Do you Communist Party look down on us rich children who are used to being powerful? Xiangmei said emotionally: "Of course you can!" As long as you want to change and are willing to join the revolution, we are all welcome, not only you, look, isn't your brother Zhao Qi a revolutionary now? Didn't someone like me, who was born into a family, also participated in the revolution? This is what we Communists often say, 'The revolution does not distinguish between high and low, let alone in order', and when the contingent arrives at my home, I will also mobilize my family members to distribute property and land to the toiling masses, so as to do my part in the future to build a fair and just society without exploitation and oppression, and where everyone is equal. ”

"Xiao Qin, what you said is really good! Let people see at once that everyone yearns for a beautiful society. Zhao Lai said movingly.

Zhao Qi's trustee invited Zhao Fen and Zhao Fang's two sisters back from their parents' house. Today, the importance of a meeting for the whole family is self-evident, and it will determine the ultimate fate of the family business that has been passed down through generations. Zhao Qi said solemnly: "The parents in the hall, the brothers and sisters in the hall, first of all, as a member of the Communist Party team, I want to explain the purpose and intention of this return, as well as the policies of our party, to everyone clearly; Secondly, as the son of the Zhao family, I want to work with everyone to decide the fate of our family, which is a responsibility that neither I nor everyone can avoid. Zhao Qi glanced at everyone with a firm and unshakable gaze. Zhao Dacheng took over and said: "The fox's tail is finally revealed, as soon as you come back, I will know that Lu Dao is not well-intentioned, say, what do you kid want to do?" Zhao Qi looked at his father as if he was facing a great enemy, and couldn't help but smile and said, "You will understand after saying it." This time I came back, it is not something that I can decide personally, it is appointed by the organization to lead the team to carry out the land movement and the work of eliminating evil and anti-hegemony, and these tasks must be completed, even if I don't come, others will come to do this, and I can't hide from it. Our party's policy is to support and cooperate, and of course our party welcomes it, and we will not tolerate it if we oppose and resist it. Zhao said: "The younger brother has made the intentions and policies of the Communist Party very clear, and it is very clear to everyone when they look at the situation. Therefore, it is better to follow the Communist Party as soon as possible, so as to gain the initiative, which will be beneficial to everyone in the future. Zhao Fu said: "I agree with what the eldest brother said, this is called 'those who know the times are Junjie'." Zhao Qi said: "It should be said that this is called 'the unstoppable tide of history'." Zhao Fu said again: "In this way, doesn't the Kuomintang keep saying that it wants democracy?" The Communist Party also advocates democracy, and when I see a decision made in the ranks, they all come to vote by a show of hands, saying, the minority obeys the majority, why don't we also have a 'minority obeys the majority'? Zhao Fu raised his hand, looked left and right, and said, "If you agree to do it according to the Communist Party, please raise your hand!" When he reached his father, he said, "Abba, when it is your turn, will you not lift up your hand?" Zhao Dacheng slowly raised his hand reluctantly, "Okay!" Six, our family is obviously seven people, but what about another? Where did it go? Hearing him say this, everyone was stunned at first, and with a "boom", everyone laughed, and Zhao Dacheng, who was still unhappy, was also laughed to tears, pointed at Zhao Fu and said, "You didn't count yourself!" Zhao Fu looked at his raised hand and smiled himself. Zhao said: "Since they have all agreed, then ask Zhao Qi, the deputy political commissar of the Communist Party, to talk about what to do." Zhao Qi said: "First, we will make a statistical record of our family's houses, land and property, and give all the other parts to the poor except for their own use according to the needs of the population; 2. Pay the hired workers invited by the family, pay them, and let them all go home. 3. Ask the villagers for forgiveness for what they did wrong in the past, apologize to the whole village, and accept the education of the village. Zhao Dachang sighed and said, "The foundation of the ancestors has been destroyed in my hands, what is the use of our two old men asking for these family inheritances, isn't it just to pass it on to you?" Ancestor, I can't help it! Zhao Lai comforted him and said, "Abba, how many sons do you have, are you still worried that no one will raise you?" We will honor you and Grandma. As for us, you don't have to worry, we have hands and feet, what others can do, we will definitely be able to do, we can't starve to death, what's more, we have culture, we can teach, in the future, the country will also need educated people to carry out construction, right? Zhao Qi took over: "Yes! When New China is founded, a large number of knowledgeable and educated talents are needed, are you afraid that heroes will be useless? Zhao Dacheng thought, I hope so, who can see what it is like in the world in the future? Now, we can only take one step at a time.

Due to the relatively smooth development of the land work in Magangtun, the work gradually expanded to the surrounding villages. Some landlords and gentry were frightened when they learned that the Zhao family's fields and property had been divided, and they hurriedly took gold, silver and jewelry, and fled with their families to the county seat. The masses were given land and property, were grateful to the Communist Party, and actively participated in the revolutionary movement, and the revolutionary situation in this area became better and better. At the same time as the land movement is being launched, another task is also being carried out, that is, the struggle to eliminate evil and oppose hegemony. According to the local people, in Dajin Village, more than 20 miles away from Majiaotun, there is a bully named Wei Jingui, who has a few stinky money at home, and his brother is also the deputy captain of the Tanliang Township Self-Defense Force. The local people hated it and wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible. Zhao Qi just wanted to take the opportunity of getting rid of this person to establish a good image of the Communist Party of upholding justice among the masses. So, he found Li Fengjiang, the leader of the fourth squadron, and said to him: "Captain Li, we must pay close attention to the struggle against evil and hegemony." According to the people, there is a bully named Wei Jingui in this area, which is very bad, you personally take a class to Dajin Village to learn about the situation of the bully Wei Jingui. If the situation is really as the masses say, we will arrest the bully Wei Jingui for me, and we will hold a mass meeting to try him publicly, and then shoot him to death, so as to deter the enemy and establish the image of the party. "Yes!" Captain Li saluted and turned around to leave, "Wait, you bring Su Cheng with you, he is a person from this area and is more familiar with the situation." Zhao Qi added.

Li Fengjiang took Su Cheng and a group of soldiers and marched towards Dajin Village. Along the way, learn from the crowd about the bully Wei Jingui and collect evidence. When Su Cheng first heard the name Wei Jingui, he "chuckled" in his heart, one of his distant cousins was called Wei Jingui, could it be him? To say that the situation of his distant old cousin is similar to this person. Su Cheng hurriedly reported the situation to Li Fengjiang: "Captain, this Wei Jingui may be my distant cousin!" ”

"What? Is it your cousin? Li Fengjiang looked at Su Cheng in surprise, puzzled, how could he have anything to do with you, this kid? Su Cheng looked at Li Fengjiang's confused appearance and said: "Captain, let me tell you, in our area, blood and family are intertwined, and people from all over the country are ten miles away, as soon as you look up, maybe someone will call you your old cousin, and even, you don't know what his name is." ”

"How could such a strange thing happen?"

"It's not a strange thing. My grandfather has four brothers, three sisters, my grandfather's three sisters, I call my aunt, because the family is poor, there is no way, the eldest aunt was sold to the Qin family as a second room, that is, Qin Xiangmei's second grandmother, Qin Xiangmei is the granddaughter of the grandmother, although I and Xiangmei are cousins, but there is no blood relationship. My third aunt later married into the Wei family, this Wei family is also a rich family in the local area, and one of her grandsons is called Wei Jingui, although my aunt died very early, so is it an old cousin relationship between me and Wei Jingui? ”

"There are many brothers and sisters, and it is not one of your family, there are so many in the countryside, no wonder you are known as 'three aunts and six women', and it is no wonder that you are." Li Fengjiang said with emotion. Su Cheng continued: "However, there are many people with the same name and surname, and only when you see it, will you know if Lu Dao is the same person." Li Fengjiang looked at Su Cheng with questioning eyes and said, "If so, how do you plan to deal with this matter?" ”

"How? He's my old watch, what else can I do? Su Cheng was silent and continued to walk forward, which made Li Fengjiang worried, and when he walked to the entrance of the road, the team stopped. Li Fengjiang asked Su Cheng hesitantly: "Which of these two roads is the right one?" Su Cheng smiled and said, "Captain, you asked well!" These two roads, one leads to the direction of Daikin and the other leads to the direction of Liangyou, if I take you to this one," Su Cheng pointed to the road leading to Liangyou, and then said, "Then I will never come back." He pointed to the road leading to Daikin and said, "This road is the right path, and only by following it can we complete the task." Su Cheng said with a serious face: "Captain, just now, you asked me how to deal with it?" I can tell you unequivocally that I have chosen a path to the light, a bright road to seek happiness for the people of the world, and this cousin of mine, he has chosen a crooked path, a road of no return that oppresses the people and is hated by others. When Li Fengjiang heard this, he was relieved, and said to Su Cheng with a smile: "Stinky boy! It makes me nervous, I was afraid that you would take us over there. As he spoke, Li Fengjiang pointed to the road leading to Liangyou. Su Cheng smiled: "You're not so nervous, right?" We must believe in the revolutionary comrades, and we still have this kind of awareness. ”

"You kid, Lao Tzu ......" Li Fengjiang slapped Su Cheng's ass twice.

After crossing the intersection and meeting an old man, Su Cheng stepped forward and asked, "Old man, do you know where Lu Dao is, can you find Wei Jingui?" The old man looked at the dozen or so people with guns in astonishment, not knowing whether they were friends or foes, and how to answer them, so that it would be beneficial to himself. He hesitated, Su Cheng didn't dare to say that he was a guerrilla, he wasn't sure, whether he would be related to Wei Jingui, indiscriminately pointing the way or ventilating the news, so he had to say: "We are from the Tanliang Township Self-Defense Force, someone from above has come down, and his brother sent us to find him and get some game to go back." "Oh, that's right, it's not a big deal, the old man pointed to the front, and said, "Two miles ahead, there is a market on the left, where is he?" Li Fengjiang asked: "Why do you say where he is?" The old man said with certainty, "For what?" Because, today is the polder day, he has something to do! After the old man finished speaking, he didn't dare to stay and left quickly.
