Chapter 31: Welcoming the Working Group (Part II)

Li Yonggen returned home, boiled a pot of porridge, he served a bowl to his blind old mother, he didn't drink it, he sat on the edge of the kang in a daze, he slapped his head with his hand a few times, and only after confirming that he was not sick with a fever, did he begin to believe that everything that happened during the day was true. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Li Yonggen thought, he is an honest farmer, relying on the wasteland that has been cultivated hard, barely making ends meet with his old mother, how can he become a big household occupying more collective land, if he adds donkey carts and ploughing oxen, he will not become a landlord, he can't understand, why does the working group have to put themselves in the landlord's pile, Dahu and Changyuan at the meeting, said a few fair words for themselves, and was questioned by the team leader, what is this for, Li Yonggen can't figure it out, he has no appetite to eat, his heart is very depressed, after settling down with the old mother, He came to Dahu's house and wanted to talk to Dahu about the depression in his heart:

"Brother Big Tiger, I just can't figure it out, today's working group, why do you have to decide that the livestock and donkey cart are my family's, I haven't opened a barren mountain day and night, how did I become a big household that forcibly occupies more collective land, just like me, a house and a half of a kang, there is not even a decent furniture at home, saying that I am a big family, even I don't believe it, Brother Big Tiger, you often run outside, you should know more things than me, you help me analyze and analyze, what is going on?!"

"Yonggen, I won't tell you anything, I don't have a clue about today's matter, this is to catch up with your family to use ploughing oxen and donkey carts, if it is my family's turn to use it, it is estimated that it will be the same as you." Big Tiger said.

"Brother Big Tiger, why do you say I'm so unlucky, how did I get together, the donkey cart and the ploughing ox are in my house, hey, the arm can't twist the thigh, I just accept my fate, the two acres of land will be handed over, the donkey cart and the ploughing ox were originally from the village, and they will be taken away, but I am worried that this matter will not be over, and I don't know what unfortunate things are waiting for me in the future." Li Yonggen said.

"Yonggen, don't be so pessimistic, maybe the matter is not as serious as you think, I also understand your current mood, and I want to help you explain, but that was before, now, I haven't figured out a clue, it's really hard to help you explain, if you want me to say, let's take a step at a time." Dahu persuaded helplessly.

"Brother Big Tiger, if you can't see the doorway, then I can't see through it even more, and I can only follow what you said, take one step at a time." After Li Yonggen finished speaking, he left Dahu's house in frustration.

Li Yonggen's words touched the big tiger, looking at Li Yonggen, who was also from a bitter background, he left with a sad face, he remembered the heads of several major families earlier, and explained to him what he had said, he believed that he had the responsibility to reflect the situation of Shayu Village to the team leader Zhao Shengli, and hoped that the team leader Zhao would make an objective conclusion about Li Yonggen's situation after understanding the special situation of Shayu Village.

When he arrived at the working group, Dahu saw that the team leader Zhao Shengli was giving Xiao Li and Xiao Wang the deployment of the third general meeting of all villagers, and at this meeting, it was necessary to summarize the land reform work in Shayu Village in stages, that is to say, when it was time to uncover, he said to Zhao that he wanted to reflect the situation in Shayu Village, and Zhao agreed and asked him to sit down.

The big tiger said straight to the point:

"Team Leader Zhao, I know that you came to Shayu Village to implement the land reform policy, for the vital interests of our farmers, we all understand in our hearts, what I want to tell you is that the situation in our village does have its particularity, our village has three surnames, in the past, all the big and small things encountered in the village, are the three main things to discuss and decide, dozens of families in the village are in each other's help to come, there is no problem of who exploits whom, if you regard Li Yonggen as a big household in Shayu Village, this is indeed a little inappropriate, if you don't believe me, I can take you to his house to see it, and after reading it, you will know why he keeps crying out for injustice. ”

"Big Tiger, I used to think that you were literate and would accept new things faster, but now it seems that it is not the case at all, and now it has been liberated, you are still emphasizing the three main things, those feudal paternalistic management, it has long been unworkable, now the peasants are the masters of Shayu Village, the affairs of Shayu Village are to be the farmers themselves, Li Yonggen's matter, we have also investigated, his family does have two acres of land, we can't let him grow several acres of land alone, and let others have no land to plant, Isn't this in line with the spirit of land reform? Team leader Zhao said.

"There is some truth in what you said, Li Yonggen is now willing to hand over the land he has cultivated, but he is unwilling to let the working group say that the donkey cart and ploughing cattle also belong to his family, and he is worried that it will affect his future." Big Tiger said.

"You also saw it, at the meeting that day, most of the villagers also acquiesced, of course, you and Jin Changyuan have different opinions, but you can't represent the majority, I think this matter is like this, feel free to find me if you have any questions." After Team Leader Zhao finished speaking, he continued to arrange work with Xiao Li and Xiao Wang.

Seeing that Team Leader Zhao refused to listen to his explanation, Dahu was very depressed, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he walked out of Shayu Village and went to the school to find Mr.

Mr. Zhang saw that the big tiger came to find himself, he knew that the big tiger had encountered a problem again, under the questioning of Mr., the big tiger put the working group into the village, what happened to the situation, Mr. Zhang said to the big tiger, land reform is a measure that has a hundred benefits for the peasants and no harm, in the past, the landlords and old wealth, occupy most of the land, and the peasants only have very little land to cultivate, behind this unreasonable land use situation, will cause a lot of peasant households, because there is no food to eat and are starved to death, and occupy most of the land landlords, However, they live a life of spending money and drinking, and this situation must be reversed through land reform, so that the peasants can be the real masters of the land.

He said that the government's policy must be for the sake of the peasants, but in the process of implementation, special circumstances should also be considered, such as Shayu Village, how many years of peasants in the mountains, cultivating the land left by their ancestors, without the exploitation of landlords and old wealth, can not artificially create a large exploitative household, which is also unfair to Li Yonggen.

Mr. told Dahu that in the process of promoting land reform, it is inevitable that all kinds of problems will appear, what to do if there are problems, we must face them positively, do not have negative emotions, take Li Yonggen as an example, he can't figure it out for a while, as the backbone of the village, you should try to do his work, don't let him resist the work of the working group, and then take a step back and say, if he is not satisfied with the results of the working group, he can report to the higher level government through normal channels, but must not become a stumbling block to land reform.

He also told Dahu that as far as he knows, the land reform work in the mountainous areas is now being actively promoted, and more than 90 percent of the peasants have obtained land through land reform, and they applaud the government's land reform policy.

Mr.'s words once again lit the lamp in Dahu's heart, and he told Mr. that after returning to the village, he would try his best to do Li Yonggen's work and obey the decision made by the land reform working group.

Dahu arrived at Li Yonggen's house and patiently enlightened him:

"Yonggen, in my opinion, the extra land will be divided, as for the future problems you are worried about, you can report to the higher level government through normal channels, there will always be a solution, if the working group convenes a villagers' meeting and announces the results of the land reform, you have to cooperate with them, do not conflict with the working group."

"Brother Big Tiger, your attitude seems to have changed, have you figured out something?" Li Yonggen asked.

"I met Mr. today, he said, the government's implementation of land reform, is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, we should support, should not be a stumbling block, I think about it, yes, the original intention of the working group, is also for the sake of the villagers of our Shayu Village, we, as villagers, should support, I figured out this." Big Tiger said.

"Well, I listen to you, anyway, the land has not been distributed to outsiders, they are all from our Shayu Village, who is not planting." Li Yonggen said.

"Yonggen, don't be brutal anymore, listen to the big tiger." Mother also told Li Yonggen.

A few days later, the land reform working group held the third general meeting of all villagers, the main content of this meeting is to announce the results of the land distribution of the working group, and team leader Zhao announced:

Maintain the status quo of the use and management of the existing villagers' land, and distribute the two acres of land that Li Yonggen has gained to Han Kui and Li Yongsheng, who have less land, and hand over the livestock and donkey carts to the village for unified and coordinated use.

Li Yonggen did not object to this result, and the villagers accepted it.

The land reform work in Shayu Village was successfully completed, and Team Leader Zhao left Shayu Village with the results of land reform.

In order to carry out work in Shayu Village, the government sent Li Ming, a cadre who received a salary, to be stationed in Shayu Village to preside over the daily work of Shayu Village, and the office was set up in the school.

Dahu originally thought that after the working group left, the literacy class would be reopened, but when he saw that it had become Li Ming's office, he dispelled this idea, and many villagers reminded Dahu that the literacy class should be set up, and they reported that now the villagers have nowhere to go, and many people have started to play cards in groups of three or five, and some have gambled money, and the two of them have become active again, playing right and wrong everywhere, making the village smoky, and in response to the situation reported by the villagers, Dahu came to find the cadre Li Ming.

After listening to his suggestion to reopen the literacy class, Li Ming told Dahu that he had just come to Shayu Village and did not know much about the situation in Shayu Village, and that he would have to give a clear answer to whether or not the literacy class should be resumed after he had a comprehensive understanding of Shayu Village.

Dahu realized something from the words of Li Ming's cadres, before, before the government officially sent cadres, he could take an idea for the villagers of Shayu Village, and make the decision, but now the situation is different, he is just an ordinary villager who can no longer be an ordinary villager, whether to run a literacy class or not, it is not something he worries about, let's put it this way, in the future, the size of Shayu Village, will be decided by Li Ming, as a villager, he only has the right to make suggestions, as for whether it can be realized, it is not within the scope of his ability to take care of things.

Thinking of this, Dahu was relieved, he returned home, and asked Lan Zhen to give him a glass of wine, Lan Zhen asked him curiously:

"If you don't have a festival, how do you think of drinking? Is there something good, say it quickly, let me be happy and happy. ”

"Over the years, I have been burdened with the entrustment of the three main things, always feel that the village affairs, I should worry more, that is my responsibility, now I finally figured out that the matter of Shayu Village, not the matter of the three families, is the matter of the government, before Shayu Village did not send cadres to manage, we engaged in autonomy and said the past, now the government sent a cadre in the village, he is to come to Shayu Village, for the villagers to make the decision, now I can finally unload the burden, do what I want to do, live a good life in our small familyYou say, can I not be happy? Dahu said.

"Yes, you should also rest, let's close the door and live our own days." Lan Zhen said.

Li Ming's arrival made Li Yonggen see hope, he thought that the problems that he had not been clear to the land reform working group in the past could be explained clearly by Li Ming's cadres, and if the problems were clearly explained, there would be no trouble in the future, so he found Li Ming and recounted the matter of the working group dividing his two acres of land, donkey carts, and ploughing cattle again.

Li Ming is in his twenties, not long after graduating from school, he belongs to the kind of people who follow the rules, Li Yonggen's matter, he had heard about it before he came, and this time he also came with a task, that is, to delineate the ingredients, from the report handed over to the government by the head of the land reform working group, Zhao of the land reform working group, Shayu Village, repeatedly mentioned the only big household in Shayu Village, Li Yonggen, this time Shayu Village demarcated the components, Li Yonggen is a high component did not run.

On the one hand, Li Ming was very sympathetic to Li Yonggen's crying, and on the other hand, he had to adhere to principles, and he could only obey the results of the government working group's handling of the situation, but it would be unfair to say that Li Ming was impersonal; while comforting Li Yonggen, he also reported to the higher-level leaders what he had learned about Li Yonggen's actual situation, and the reply he received was that the opinions of the land reform working group should be respected, and Li Yonggen's issue would not be discussed.

As a cadre stationed in Shayu Village, Li Ming had to abide by the organizational principles, and it was impossible for him to convey the leaders' opinions to Li Yonggen, but he had to carry out the requirements of the higher-level leaders, so in Li Yonggen's view, Li Ming's approach was inconsistent; on the one hand, he comforted Li Yonggen that he wanted to open up and believe in the government, and on the other hand, he did a good job of appointing rich peasants for Li Yonggen.

In the end, when delineating the composition, Li Ming still referred to the working group's opinions on land reform and designated Li Yonggen as a rich peasant.

Dahu was surprised by this result, and Li Yonggen couldn't accept it.

He found Dahu and said that he couldn't figure out whether he was a rich peasant, and this time he didn't persuade Li Yonggen, but dragged him to Li Ming's office, Dahu meant that let Li Yonggen explain the matter to Li Ming face to face, and he could be a witness to Li Yonggen as a villager, and he thought that with his current status, he could only help him.

Li Ming saw that Dahu also followed Li Yonggen, and knew that it was for the purpose of determining the ingredients, so he asked the two of them to sit down and explained the basis and process of determining the ingredients, and Dahu said:

"When the working group divided Li Yonggen's excess land, Li Yonggen actively cooperated, but the problem was that the donkey cart and the ploughing ox were not his family at all, at the beginning, Li Yonggen was worried that it would bring more trouble to the future because of this, so he repeatedly shouted grievances with the working group at that time, but the working group only considered the matter of land reform and did not take his grievances seriously. I just have one suggestion, can you reflect it with your superiors and see what your superiors say, and then make this decision. ”

"I will report the situation you said to the superiors, but before the superiors reply, my work has to be carried out as usual, you have no opinion on this, right?" Li Ming said.

"You've got to hurry, or you're going to kill me." Li Yonggen said.

Every time he heard the villagers' discussions, Li Yonggen's heart felt like someone had cut it with a knife, but fortunately, because his mother was blind, he couldn't go outside and couldn't hear the villagers' discussions, otherwise, his mother would feel the same way as her son.

That day, Li Yonggen was carrying a hoe and preparing to go to the field to weed, and when the 'little fast mouth' saw Li Yonggen, he said to him:

"Oh, Yonggen, I didn't expect you to become a rich man in our village, dozens of families in our village, your family is a rich peasant, we are all hired farmers and poor peasants, compared with you, we are all a lot worse."

"If you don't talk cool here, I don't recognize me as a rich peasant at all, have you ever seen a rich peasant like me, a poor jingle rich peasant?" Li Yonggen asked, 'Little Quick Mouth'.

"It's too late if you don't admit it, anyway, the whole village knows about it, I'm afraid it won't be changed." 'Little Quick Mouth' stared again.

This can annoy Li Yonggen, he was full of fire nowhere to sprinkle, and now the words of 'Xiao Kuaizui' have stirred up his fire, he picked up the hoe and hit the 'Xiao Kuaizui', and the 'Xiao Kuaizui' screamed all the time, ran home, called her husband Han Qisheng out, and the three of them scuffled together, others couldn't hold it, and someone notified the cadre Li Ming.

When Li Ming learned that it was because of the 'little fast mouth' and the ridicule of Li Yonggen's rich peasants, that the fight was triggered, he believed that this problem could not be solved, and it would be difficult to guarantee that similar things would not happen again in the future.

Coincidentally, Li Ming's predecessor had just been transferred, and the new leader did not know anything about the situation reported by Li Ming, but the new leader said that he still had to do a further understanding, and only after understanding the situation did he have the right to speak.

Li Yonggen didn't know that Li Ming was waiting for the investigation of the new leader, but thought that Li Ming, like the leader of the working group, was deliberately delaying time, but in fact he didn't want to solve the problem for himself.

Before he wanted to implement the plan, he had been to Dahu's house and wanted to talk to Dahu about the grievances in his heart, but it was also a coincidence, that day, Dahu was not at home because he was making furniture for a family in another village, and Li Yonggen decided to make a desperate gamble without finding Dahu.

Li Yonggen found Li Ming, lied that his fruit tree had been cut down, and asked Li Ming to go and see, Li Ming didn't know that there was a fraud, and the door of the office was not locked, so he hurriedly followed Li Yonggen to the orchard, and when he arrived at the orchard, Li Ming didn't see any fruit trees being cut down, just when he turned around and wanted to ask Li Yonggen, Li Yonggen took out the rope prepared in advance, and wrapped it around Li Ming's neck, Li Ming's body fell to the ground, Li Yonggen took the rope off Li Ming's neck, and tied Li Ming's hands and feet, he said to Li Ming, His own requirements were not high, that is, he was asked to agree, and take off his rich peasant hat.

Li Ming saw that Li Yonggen was really moved, to say that he was not nervous, it was nonsense, after all, when people are in a hurry, they will make some uncalm behaviors, but he still has a little bottom in his heart, where is that, he has contacted Li Yonggen several times, Li Yonggen gave him the feeling, honest, admit death, but definitely not the kind of person who is quite unreasonable, he still believes in Li Yonggen's humanity, and will not do things that kill people and sell goods, but it is just a matter of rich peasants, so he can't let go of his feelings for a while, so he has to make this decision.

Li Ming, who had calmed down, began to do Li Yonggen's work, he said, the matter of demarcating rich peasants is not something that can be decided by himself, he has a basis for land reform, if Li Yonggen has objections, he can reflect upwards step by step, kidnapping is absolutely undesirable, this is a criminal act, he advised Li Yonggen to let himself go quickly, he will treat nothing as if nothing happened, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

Li Yonggen has lost trust in Li Ming, for his persuasion, Li Yonggen can't listen to a word, he recognizes one, that is, that is, that is, that Li Ming personally say the words of taking off his rich peasant hat, his principle is, if he says it, he will immediately release the person, if he doesn't say it, he will continue to tie it up, as a cadre stationed in the village, Li Ming must be responsible for what he says, he can't say anything that violates his principles in order to get rid of Li Yonggen, even if he is in danger, he can't, seeing that Li Ming didn't say the sentence of taking off his rich peasant hat, Li Yonggen's strength also came up, and the two of them sat in a stalemate for an afternoon.

There is also a small episode in this, on the way to be tied, Li Ming said that he was thirsty, Li Yonggen told him that there was no water in the orchard, if he was really thirsty, he could pick a big peach for him, and he was full and quenched his thirst, seeing Li Yonggen pick the largest peach from the peach tree, and also used his own shirt to wipe the hair on the peach clean, and then put it in his mouth, Li Ming couldn't cry or laugh, the more so, the more Li Ming couldn't bear it, let Li Yonggen bear the charge of kidnapping state workers, Li Ming almost cried and begged, let Li Yonggen let himself go, Li Yonggen seemed to be stunned, and his mouth was repeated with that sentence, take off the rich peasant hat, otherwise there is no need to talk about it.

Just when the two were at a stalemate, it was getting dark.

Li Ming's girlfriend Mei Ying, is also a cadre in the village, the two of them got on well when they went to school, Mei Ying was a cadre in the neighboring village, due to work, they didn't see each other for some days, Mei Ying missed Li Ming in her heart, she happened to do things this day, passing by Shayu Village, he wanted to visit Li Ming by the way, when she rode to Li Ming's office, she found that there was no one in the office, and the door was not locked, he thought that Li Ming was temporarily out, and he would definitely come in a while, she waited in the office for a long time, and it was dark when she saw it. Still didn't see Li Ming come back, at this time, she was a little panicked and decided to go to the village to look for it.

Shayu Village, Mei Ying is the first time to come, he doesn't know where the door of whose house is open, she simply knocks on the door when she sees it, the first time she knocks on the door of Jin Changyuan's house, Jin Changyuan tells Mei Ying that he has not seen Li Ming, Mei Ying knocked on the door of Dahu's house again, Dahu said that he has just come back from outside, he has not seen Li Ming, Mei Ying cried anxiously, she said, it is so late, Li Ming must have something wrong, otherwise, it is impossible not to come back so late.

Seeing Mei Ying crying anxiously, Dahu beckoned Jin Changyuan and went to find Li Ming respectively, after the people went out, they quickly reported that they didn't see Li Ming, at this time, Lan Zhen whispered to Dahu, saying that this morning, Li Yonggen came to look for him at home, and when he saw that he was not at home, he left without saying anything, Dahu suddenly realized that it would be Li Yonggen who got Li Ming away.

He asked Jin Changyuan to take Mei Ying to the office to wait for him, he was going to look elsewhere, after Mei Ying and Changyuan left, he arrived at Li Yonggen's house, Li Yonggen's old mother thought that her son was back, and said casually, where did I go, I was almost hungry, Dahu hurriedly told the old mother that he was a big tiger, and asked her, did the son say where to go, the old mother said that when the son left, he said that he was going to the orchard, after the big tiger heard about it, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to the orchard.

Besides, Mei Ying, she and Chang Yuan were waiting for Li Ming's news in the office, she was anxious to see Li Ming, she always felt that time passed too slowly, as Li Ming's girlfriend, she was worried about Li Ming's safety, afraid that Li Ming was in danger, and waiting for one more minute would be torment for her, so she told Jin Changyuan that she couldn't wait any longer, she wanted to go back to the commune immediately, report Li Ming's disappearance to the leadership, and let the leaders take measures, Jin Changyuan persuaded her to wait for the news of the big tiger, but Mei Ying didn't listen, she rode a bicycle and walked away quickly.

Came to Li Yonggen's orchard, facing the pitch-black garden, the big tiger could only take the method of shouting loudly, let Li Yonggen appear, Li Yonggen heard the big tiger's shout, immediately responded, after determining Li Yonggen's location, he found Li Ming, Li Ming was still tied and squatted beside Yonggen, the big tiger pulled Yonggen aside, and warned him seriously, now immediately release Li Ming, maybe things are still slow, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

Yonggen said to Dahu, even if he is in prison, he is not afraid, should he be wronged in vain and live the rest of his life with the hat of a rich peasant? He just wants justice, Dahu doesn't want to waste his limited time on a verbal fight, he wants to hurry up and untie the rope tied to Li Ming's body, try to save the impact, Li Yonggen doesn't understand Dahu's kindness, he stopped Dahu from untying Li Ming's rope, and Dahu who was anxious came up with a very trick, he followed Li Yonggen is kick, this kick happened to kick Li Yonggen's calf bone, and Li Yonggen, who was in unbearable pain, squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.

Li Ming, who was untied from the rope, although he was angry with Li Yonggen in his heart, saw a big man squatting on the ground and crying loudly, he couldn't help but return to Li Yonggen to comfort him, seeing this scene, Dahu's worry was reduced a lot, he said to Li Ming, hurry back to the office, a girl named Mei Ying is still waiting for him in the office, hearing Mei Ying's name, Li Ming immediately stood up, he said to Li Yonggen, come to his office tomorrow to find him, if you have anything to say, you will talk about it tomorrow.

Just when Li Ming was about to leave the orchard, the orchard lit up instantly, more than a dozen flashlights were illuminated together, Dahu walked over to identify carefully, and found Li Ming's girlfriend Mei Ying standing in it, he knew that the matter was big, the people brought by Li Ming's girlfriend, eighty percent were government people, at this time, a male cadre in the lead, pulled Li Ming aside, asked the ins and outs of the incident, after listening to Li Ming's narration, the leader shouted at the people around him:

"Take Li Yonggen away for me!"

Two cadres came over and took Li Yonggen to the village office.

"Li Yonggen, you are so bold that you dare to kidnap state cadres, your behavior is a violation of the law and you will be imprisoned." The commune leaders reprimanded Li Yonggen.

"If you go to jail, you go to jail, I just want an explanation." Li Yonggen said with a stiff neck.

"If you want to say something, you can do it through normal channels, but if you use illegal means, the nature will completely change." The leader of the Commune said sternly.

"How many times have I told Li Ming, but he has never given me an explanation, and I was also forced to be in a hurry, so I kidnapped him." Li Ming said aggrievedly.

"If you are in a hurry, you will kidnap government cadres? If you are in a hurry, you will break the law? Is this the reason? I see that you still don't realize the seriousness of your kidnapping, so I'll hand you over to the Public Security Bureau now, and if you have anything to say, go to the Public Security Bureau to say it! "The leaders of the Commune were also anxious.

As soon as the commune leader's voice fell, the two cadres around him were about to take Li Yonggen to the public security bureau, but the big tiger couldn't see it, and when he arrived at the public security bureau, his nature changed, and Li Yonggen's wife couldn't survive, so he hurriedly walked up to Li Ming and begged Li Ming to intercede for Li Yonggen.

From the bottom of his heart, Li Ming sympathized with Li Yonggen's experience, and heard Dahu say that Li Yonggen's old mother had been blind for many years, and there was only one son by his side, and if he was arrested and put into the public security bureau because of kidnapping, the old mother would definitely not survive, and that would leave a guilt in his heart that could never be erased.

After listening to Li Ming's request, the leaders of the commune also took into account that Li Ming himself was the victim, and he stood up to intercede for Li Yonggen, as well as many factors, such as Li Yonggen having no criminal record, and Li Yonggen's old mother really had no one to take care of him, and many other factors, the commune leaders decided not to send Li Yonggen to the Public Security Bureau for the time being, but this matter must be dealt with seriously.

The next day, in front of the whole village, the commune leaders read out the decision on Li Yonggen's disposition, which read as follows:

Villager Li Yonggen has always been dissatisfied with the qualitative issue of the land reform working group, and in many negotiations with Li Ming, a cadre stationed in the village, he did not get the results he wanted, so he lost his mind and adopted the illegal means of kidnapping Li Ming, hoping to achieve the goal of taking off the rich peasant hat.

In view of the fact that Li Yonggen was a first-time offender and did not cause harmful consequences, and in view of the fact that the victim Li Ming had repeatedly expressed his unwillingness to investigate Li Yonggen's criminal responsibility, the commune made a decision that from today onwards, Li Yonggen must undergo labor reform in Shayu Village and accept the supervision of the villagers, so as to observe the after-effects, and the specific content of the reform will be arranged by Li Ming, a cadre stationed in the village.

Li Yonggen listened to the decision read out by the township government with a blank face, and the kidnapping case came to an end.

From that day on, Li Yonggen's temperament underwent a great reversal, he no longer talked to anyone, including Dahu, about his two acres of land and the composition of rich peasants, and the whole person was like a walking corpse, with a body but no soul.

Seeing Li Yonggen's changes, Dahu's heart is very complicated, he has helplessness and guilt, helplessly, he watched this result happen, but he had no way to help Li Yonggen change, the guilty thing is that he had persuaded Li Yonggen several times to accept the results of the working group, and it was precisely because of his persuasion that Li Yonggen acquiesced to the decision of the working group, he believed that the situation that caused Li Yonggen today is inseparable from him, and he tried to open Li Yonggen's heart knot several times, but Li Yonggen was wordlessly refused.

Perhaps in Li Yonggen's view, since he can't tell the two acres of land and the oxen and donkey carts, and he can't get rid of the identity of a rich peasant, it is better to close himself, and closing himself may be the best way to protect himself, he even thinks that if he blinds his eyes and deafens his ears, he can't see or hear anything, maybe it will be a better relief, but when he thinks that there is an old mother who is blind and needs him, he can only live along.

With the continuous increase in the population of Shayu Village, with the approval of the leaders of the commune, Shayu Village was assigned a village cadre assistant, and it was designated that the number of village cadre assistants was generated by Shayu Village, and the funds for the assistants were allocated by the commune, that is, whoever became this assistant would become a cadre with public salaries.

As soon as this news came out, it caused a great sensation in Shayu Village, and the villagers heard for the first time that peasants could also receive public wages, although there was only one place, but everyone wanted to seize this opportunity, in order to show fairness, Li Ming drew up recruitment conditions, the general content of which was that those who support the Communist Party of China and socialism, have ideas, morality, culture, love and hate, love the collective, unite and help each other, and can apply for the job between the ages of 18 and 50.

After the recruitment conditions were announced, there were really a lot of people who signed up, Li Ming wanted to pass the conditions of 'educated', eliminate a group of villagers, and leave a few elite and capable people to compete, but he didn't know, most of the villagers had participated in the 'literacy class', and they all thought that even if they could write, Li Ming had no choice but to admit it, because there is such a thing as culture, depending on the wisdom of the people, the lowest is literacy, and the highest cannot be capped, and the flexibility is indeed too great to define.

However, Li Ming still thought of a way, he came up with a scroll, and the questions on the paper were set by him according to the actual situation of the villagers, there are ten questions, the first one, how many households are there in Shayu Village? How many people are there? Second, how many acres of land are there in Shayu Village, and how many orchards are there? Third, under normal circumstances, how many catties of corn can be produced in an acre of land? How many catties of sorghum? Fourth, how many people in Shayu Village work outside all year round? How many people in the village are over sixty years old? The fifth course....

Since it is an exam, it is still necessary to be more formal, on the day of the exam, Li Ming also specially found an invigilator from the commune, and the invigilator announced the discipline of the examination room, in order to be able to become an assistant to the village cadres, the villagers are still really obedient, after the paper is in hand, they are all serious to lower their heads and do their own, no one makes a loud noise or talks to each other.

Li Ming found that among the people who took the exam, there was no big tiger, he was very disappointed, because since receiving the notice from the commune, there was already a candidate in his heart, this person was the big tiger, he never thought that the big tiger would give up this great opportunity, he knew the big tiger, maybe in the heart of the big tiger, he had his own ideas.

The villagers who finished answering the paper walked out of the examination room, there were only a few villagers in the examination room who had not finished answering, the time was up, Li Ming announced the end of the exam, Li Ming took the paper to the office, he asked the villagers to go home and wait for the results, but none of the villagers who were eager to know the results were willing to go, Li Ming had to decide with the invigilator, judge the papers on the spot, and announce the results.

Just as Li Ming and the invigilator were judging the papers, the villagers waiting outside the classroom began to discuss:

"Why did you see the big tiger coming to the exam?"

"If Big Tiger comes to the exam, and we have a share, the quota will definitely be his."

"I've grown so big, it's the first time I've entered the exam room, and my heart is still pounding."

"The third question, how many catties do you say about the yield per mu of corn?"

"Last year, my family only beat 200 catties, and I replied 200 catties."

"You answered wrong, you said last year, it was a drought, and what the paper said was, under normal circumstances, I answered 500 catties."

"Hey, you say, Li Ming's questions are all about our village, at first glance, it's quite simple, but it's not easy to answer accurately."

"Then you still need to ask, this time is to choose the assistant of the village cadre, of course, you have to test the situation in your village first, if you are not familiar with the situation in the village, can you be a good village cadre?"

After an hour of work, Li Ming and the invigilator finished judging the papers, they came to the courtyard, and announced the results of the examination, Jin Changyuan took the first, in order to reduce the villagers' doubts about the examination results, Li Ming sent the papers to the hands of the villagers, and at the same time posted the correct answers on the outer wall of the office for the villagers to compare.

In order to find out the real reason why Dahu did not take the exam, Li Ming came to Dahu's house, he told Dahu about this exam, Jin Changyuan was admitted, and also asked Dahu, why did he not take this exam, Dahu told Li Ming euphemistically that he has his own skills and can rely on his skills to eat, so he doesn't want to compete with the villagers for the assistant position, Li Ming said to Dahu that the village needs his help in the future, and hopes that he will not refuse, Dahu said that he is a villager of Shayu Village, as long as it is about Shayu Village, He'll do his best to help.

In fact, part of what Dahu said, there is not his true thoughts, the reason why he is unwilling to do it, a large part is Li Yonggen's matter, which has brought a shadow to his heart, many things that he can see through in the past, but now he can't see through it, the problems that can be explained in the past can't be explained now, with his powerlessness to change, it is better to do his own wooden work in a down-to-earth manner, and it is better to control himself.

After Kim Chang-won became a village assistant, the first problem he encountered when he took office was Li Yonggen.

Since the kidnapping incident, the commune leaders have decided that Li Yonggen will be reformed in Shayu Village, and Li Ming will arrange the content of the reform, Li Ming has been to Li Yonggen's home many times to understand the situation, when he saw the current situation of Li Ming's family's predicament, he did not arrange for Li Yonggen to be reformed, but at a meeting held by the commune leaders, the leaders asked Li Ming to report on the progress of Li Yonggen's transformation, Li Ming had to make up a lie, saying that Li Yonggen cleaned up the garbage in the village, and the commune leaders said that this was not enough. He asked Li Ming to come up with a plan as soon as possible.

After Jin Changyuan became an assistant to the village cadres, Li Ming handed over the plan for implementing Li Yonggen's transformation to Jin Changyuan.

Jin Changyuan, who originally just wanted to do more things for the village, didn't expect that the first thing he received was to come up with a transformation plan for Li Yonggen, he made a difficulty, the reason is very clear, he and Li Yonggen grew up together, Li Yonggen's personality and the situation at home He knows everything about it, he knew that Li Yonggen was wronged, and he also formulated a transformation plan for Li Yonggen, he couldn't do it.

As soon as he became a village assistant, he asked Li Yonggen to sweep the streets with a broom, not to mention that Li Yonggen looked at him differently, even the villagers would misunderstand him, and even say that he turned his face as a cadre and didn't recognize people, but he couldn't tell Li Ming that he couldn't do this, as an assistant, he had to obey Li Ming's leadership, if he didn't do it, he was also worried that if one day, the leaders of the commune came to Shayu Village to inspect the work and found that Li Yonggen had not been reformed at all, and he was not upset and secondly, and Li Ming was also implicated.

Back at home, Jin Changyuan didn't have the energy he had when he left home in the morning, but came back with a slumped head, Yu'er was puzzled, so he asked him:

"Is Li Ming angry with you?"

"Where do you want to go, can Li Ming be angry with us?" Kim Chang-won said.

"Then what do I think your spirit is a little wrong." Yu'er said.

"No, on the first day I went to work today, Li Ming gave me a task, he asked me to formulate a transformation plan for Li Yonggen, you know, Li Yonggen was wronged at all, and now he sees that the people in the village are hiding, if I look for him and ask him to clean up the garbage in the village every morning and evening, you say, how can I tell him this, but Li Ming said that it is to sweep the garbage, the leaders of the commune are not satisfied, it is not enough, and the content has to be added, isn't it difficult for me to die?" Kim Chang-won said.

"You just tell Li Ming, you and Li Yonggen are from the same village, you can't open your mouth, just let him say no to Li Yonggen? After all, people are serious cadres, and we are just assistants. Yu'er said.

"You think this is our family's errand, we are now taking the government's money, so we have to do things for the government, isn't there such a saying, earning official money, you can't help yourself." Kim Chang-won said.

"I'll give you an idea, you go to Brother Big Tiger's house and listen to what he has to say." Yu'er said.

"Let's go together, where I can't say, you can help me talk about it next to me."

Jin Changyuan and Yu'er came to Dahu's house, and the first thing he said to Jin Changyuan was to congratulate him on being elected as an assistant to the village cadres. I can't help myself', Dahu teased him and said, I didn't see it, I just took office and regarded myself as an official family, Jin Changyuan put away his smiling face, and told Li Ming that he arranged for him to make a transformation plan for Li Yonggen, Dahu asked him what he planned to do, Jin Changyuan said that he hadn't thought about it yet, he always felt that he didn't have the courage to find Li Yonggen, and Dahu asked him again, what kind of transformation work he was going to let Li Yonggen do, he said, Li Ming had already told the leaders of the commune that Li Yonggen had arranged for Li Yonggen to clean up the garbage in the village.

Dahu told Jin Changyuan that the reason why Li Ming handed over this matter to him was that he hoped that he could help him, deal with Li Yonggen's problem, give an account to the commune, and say the past to Li Yonggen, but it is indeed difficult to do this, Dahu gave Jin Changyuan an analogy, asking Li Yonggen to clean up the garbage in the village, when to clean it, and how often, the commune did not put forward a hard requirement, as a person who formulates the transformation plan, he should use more brains in this regard, and try to cope with the above inspection, and can protect Li Yonggen and his old mother.

After listening to Da Hu's point, Jin Changyuan had some points in his heart, and he was ready to go home and carefully ponder Da Hu's words and come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

After Jin Changyuan left, Lan Zhen said to Dahu:

"I only now understand why you didn't want to be this village assistant in the first place, too, if you were this village assistant, I can't imagine how you could say to Li Yonggen, 'Go and sweep the streets'."

"According to what you say, it seems that I am prescient, but Li Yonggen's matter, in my heart, is a thorn, and it is uncomfortable to think about it, I was originally a very cheerful person, but now I don't speak to anyone, I'm really afraid that he won't be able to think about it one day." Big Tiger said.

"If you want me to say, don't blame yourself, you have done your best, Li Yonggen's matter, you will have to rely on Changyuan to help you do the work in the future, after all, he has an advantage over you now, how to say that he is also an assistant in the village, and it depends on him to deal with it, what the two of us can do is to go to his house more often, and help him take care of his old mother more, we really can't help anything else." Lan Zhen said.

"I understand this, but I can't get over this strength in my heart." Big Tiger said.

Two days later, Jin Changyuan planned a transformation plan for Li Yonggen, and what fell on paper was that he cleaned the village once a day in the morning and evening, and made a thought report to Changyuan once a week, and when he handed over this plan to Li Ming, Li Ming thought that Jin Changyuan's arrangement was more reasonable, and at least it could be put on the table and approved by the leaders of the commune, but at the same time, he also said to Jin Changyuan that when talking to Li Yonggen about this matter, it was necessary to pay attention to ways and means, and also to take into account the special situation of Li Yonggen's family. But also similar to Dahu's thoughts, Jin Changyuan has a bottom in his heart.

He came to Li Yonggen's house, just in time for Li Yonggen to go to work in the field, Jin Changyuan told Li Yonggen that he had something to say to him, Li Yonggen is a filial son, he knows that Changyuan, who has just become an assistant in the village, will not have anything good to look for him, he is worried about talking at home, and his mother will hear him, he called Jin Changyuan out of the door, Jin Changyuan told Li Yonggen that the above asked him to make a transformation plan, and told him about sweeping the street and thinking report, Li Yonggen is no longer the original person who loves more reasonably, After listening to Jin Changyuan's words, he didn't react violently, but threw out a sentence:

"Whatever you want, as long as my mother doesn't get hurt."

Jin Changyuan originally wanted to tell him that what was written on the paper was to clean the village every morning and evening, but he didn't really need to do that, just clean it once a week, but Li Yonggen didn't give Jin Changyuan a chance to say these words again, so he shook off Jin Changyuan with a hoe and left alone.

Since that day, every morning and evening, the villagers have seen Li Yonggen sweeping with a broom, almost thundering.

At this time, the people in the village began to talk again:

"They are all villagers, but I didn't expect Jin Changyuan to take Li Yonggen as soon as he took office, and let people sweep the streets sooner or later, people's hearts are not ancient, this is true."

"Don't forget, Changyuan is taking the public's money, he is different from us now, let alone let Li Yonggen sweep the street, if the public wants to say, arrest Li Yonggen now, he doesn't dare to say anything."

"If this person catches up with bad luck, he will choke on his mouth of cold water, and it seems that Li Yonggen will not be able to avoid bad luck."

The discussion of the villagers soon reached Jin Changyuan's ears, he found Li Ming, persuaded Li Ming to simply give up the so-called transformation plan, and stop letting Li Yonggen sweep the streets, Li Ming said to Jin Changyuan, I am afraid this will not be possible, the leaders above are keeping an eye on it, and the day before yesterday was still asking about Li Yonggen's transformation, he told Jin Changyuan that it is better to talk to Li Yonggen again and try to open his heart.

Early in the morning, Jin Changyuan came to the place where Li Yonggen was sweeping the street, he approached Li Yonggen and wanted to talk to him again, but he didn't expect Li Yonggen to come up again:

"Assistant Jin, it's not the day to report today."

After saying this, he walked away with a broomstick, and it turned out that he took Jin Changyuan as a plague god and avoided it.

This time, Jin Changyuan was completely out of recruitment, he never expected that becoming an assistant would be such a result.

Dahu and Lan Zhen often go to Li Yonggen's house, Lan Zhen loves to steam dumplings, and every time she steam a pot and give it to Li Yonggen's mother and son, gradually, Li Yonggen's attitude towards Dahu changed, he opened his heart to Dahu, he said:

"Actually, I'm very good now, without the interference of miscellaneous people, my heart is a lot calmer, I am used to sweeping the street every day, these years, thanks to the two of you helping to take care of the old mother, I really don't know how to repay."

"Yonggen, you said something to repay you, it's serious, they all grew up together, who doesn't know anyone, you can think about it, I'm very happy, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, as long as you squeak, if I can't come back outside, Lan Zhen will come, we are still the same as before, help each other, there is no difficulty that can't be overcome."

Although Li Yonggen is still sweeping the streets every day, his mental state is much better than before, and his dull gaze is gone.
