Chapter 34: Catching Up with ******
In 1958, a wave of heat poured into Shayu Village in ******. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
That year, Dahu was fifty-three years old and a father of six.
The first thing Li Ming did when he returned to the village was to convene a general meeting of all the villagers in Shayu Village, at which he implemented the government's guiding opinions on carrying out ****** work and published a list of the leading group for the ****** of Shayu Village.
Li Ming announced to everyone that in the future, all the villagers do not have to cook on the fire at home, three meals a day, and go to the village canteen to eat with a ticket.
Da Hu's head was a little unable to turn, he suspected that he had entered fifty years old, his mind was not flexible, people passed noon in fifty days, and it was normal to not be able to keep up with the beat, but he thought about it, it was not enough, back then, grandpa was also in his seventies, and he was still dealing with the size of Shayu Village, and he was just over fifty years old, and he fell behind when he was just over fifty, which is unreasonable, he patted his head gently, feeling that his mind still heard clearly, but he was stupid by the good life promised by Li Ming in front of him.
What makes him suspicious is that the people of Shayu Village, the problem of eating has just been solved, each family has no excess reserves of food every year, and there is not enough ability to deal with various disasters, in this case, the government proposed to cover all the villagers' food problems, is it a little fast, of course, such a good life everyone yearns for, especially for the villagers of Shayu Village, but he just has an inexplicable worry and fear, he can't believe that the things in front of him are true, people say, eat and dress about household belongings, He didn't see such conditions in Shayu Village, so that the villagers could shake off their cheeks and eat.
Just when Dahu was in thought, Li Ming began to give the task.
Young people are responsible for building stoves and greenhouses, middle-aged laborers are responsible for transforming classrooms into large canteens, and women are responsible for bringing tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil and salt to the big canteen for sharing, and more than a dozen cooks in charge of cooking are responsible for the villagers' three meals a day.
The enthusiasm of the villagers, no less than marrying a daughter-in-law at home, or adding a grandson, Li Ming's task has just been arranged, the villagers have put themselves into the construction of the big canteen, if it is left in the past, the little daughters-in-law look at their own little belongings tightly there, if anyone borrows from her, they will push back, but today is different, they took the initiative to move their own food guys, have moved to the big canteen, they can't move, but also instructed the children in the family to help move, in their words, we are all public, What are you doing with these guys who are eating?
Seeing this sudden fiery scene, the big tiger also involuntarily threw himself into the ranks of the villagers, he remembered that his grandfather once told him that the life of human ancestors is to hunt together, share food together, in the current words, is to share blessings and difficulties, when listening, the big tiger asked grandpa, how can we go back to that time, grandpa said, how can we go back, I didn't think that this dream came true, but it soon became a reality in the new society.
In order to let the villagers eat in the big canteen, there are rules and regulations, Li Ming borrowed the printed meal ticket from the pilot village, which was registered by Jin Changyuan and distributed to each villager, just when the villagers lined up to register to receive the meal ticket, Dahu saw Li Ming coming over, Li Ming asked Dahu, what do you think about the big canteen, he said, too suddenly, it's too late to think about it, Li Ming told Dahu that he just came back from a commune meeting, and other villages are vigorously building a big canteen, and we Shayu Village can't hold back, no matter how late we work today, It is also necessary to build a large canteen, so that the villagers will be able to eat in the canteen tomorrow.
Dahu asked Li Ming, where does the food come from, Li Ming patted him on the shoulder and said, you are usually very shrewd, why can't this account be counted now, what are the food still kept in the villagers' homes for, take it to the big canteen, he thought about it, the guys who ate were all taken out, and they couldn't eat the food they kept, and they didn't wait for anything if they didn't hand it over, Li Ming also told him that after liberation, with the great abundance of material life and the great demand of people's lives, the conditions for entering the communist society in advance should be ripe, the core of communist society, It is to distribute according to demand, and in layman's terms, you can have what you want.
Li Ming's explanation, the big tiger is also a little excited, what do you want, this is the days of the gods, he was originally worried, the family has a large population, heavy burden, food is not rich, the future life is tight, Li Ming's words, let him get rid of all his worries, he even began to blame himself for his father's departure, he thinks that if he invites a good man to his father, his father may be able to live to this day, if he can live to this day, he can also see his children and grandchildren live the life of the gods, and he himself can enjoy a few days of happiness.
In the following days, the villagers were busy with the work of the garden in the morning, at twelve o'clock at noon, six o'clock in the evening, on time to eat in the big canteen, the villagers in the first few days of the big canteen, all the laughter, especially the daughters-in-law, as soon as they ate in the canteen, they got together, chatted while eating, the children ate fast, finished eating, they played in the canteen, most of the content of their chats was, the big canteen was so good, they were relieved from heavy housework, and finally they could live a few days of leisure.
The reason is that parents generally have a wrong understanding that the canteen is public, and there is no need to care for it like their own food, so when they eat, they only care about their own food, and the children fight with their nests and cakes, but they turn a blind eye, and when the villagers finish eating, the ground is only thrown away with food, Li Ming looks distressed, he thinks, if it goes on like this, the government is a golden mountain, and there is a time when it is finished, So, he urgently convened a meeting of the leading group.
At the meeting, Li Ming on the recent period of time, the waste phenomenon in the canteen, he asked everyone to come up with a way to curb this bad atmosphere, Jin Changyuan proposed, their own children, if found which family is wasting food, which family will be exempted from a meal, his proposal, was immediately vetoed by Li Ming, Li Ming stressed, now is the vigorous ****** era, if this method is adopted, it will inevitably cause contradictions among the villagers, they will think, the canteen does not give full food to eat, If this word spreads outside, it will definitely discredit ******.
Dahu also put forward a suggestion, take out a special person to take care of the child, without the protection of parents, the child's waste will be reduced accordingly, Li Ming believes that this method can be tried for a few days, if it works, it will be persistent, however, Dahu's suggestion has not been implemented for a few days, the villagers who are responsible for taking care of the child, they submitted their resignation, the reason is that in the process of managing the child, they have criticized the child who wastes food, so that some parents who protect the calf know that there is a direct conflict with the administrator, The administrator thinks that they all live in a village, and they don't look up and see each other, because they fell out with their parents and it's not worth it.
Li Ming once again brought the group members together, or focused on solving the problem of wasting food, this time Changyuan and Dahu did not speak, maybe there is nothing to do, Li Ming put forward his own suggestions, he said, the reason why children are not focused when eating, littering food, is because their parents will take some meals home after eating, and when the children are hungry, the family has to eat, if a rule is added, after the villagers eat, no one is allowed to take away the food, in this case, Parents will urge their children to eat at meal time, and the waste will be solved.
Li Ming's suggestion won the unanimous approval of the group members.
The next day, Dahu announced Li Ming's suggestion in the form of a list, although some villagers did not understand and complained, thinking that there were too many rules in the canteen, not like eating at home, but when it was time to eat, especially dinner, parents consciously put their children by their side, personally watched them eat, and when the children were full, they ate again, and when the canteen closed, the canteen administrator found that there was no waste of food on the ground, and they agreed with Li Ming's method, And asked for a long time to implement, Li Ming was also very satisfied with his proposal, he felt that managing the villagers is also a science.
But Li Ming ignored a problem, that is, children are not like adults, when they are full, they are full, especially children of a few years old, their appetite has not yet matured, and they can't eat enough at a time like adults, they are full at that time, but their appetite is small, they eat less, plus they go to bed, play around, eat a little bit, quickly digest it, and at night, the stomach begins to 'grunt'' Gollum' scream, the children are hungry and can't sleep, they must ask the parents for food, where do the parents go to find food, they have to be anxious, watching the children cry when they are hungry.
When there is no big canteen, the children are hungry, and parents can get some food for the children at home, even if it is a pot of paste, and throw some wild vegetables in the paste, but now the situation is different, the food and the guys who eat are handed over to the big canteen, and there is nothing to relieve hunger at home except for people.
The little five and six of the big tiger family, one is four years old, one is more than one year old, when eating in the big canteen, Lan Zhen is still very careful, one to feed the two little ones, at that time, she touched the two children's small stomachs bulging, only to take care of herself to eat, unexpectedly, even so, at night, the two children are still hungry screaming, listening to the two children crying, Lan Zhen is distressed and angry, she pulled the four-year-old Xiao Wu, according to the ass is a few slaps, the already hungry Xiao Wu, and was inexplicably slapped by her mother a few times, The crying was even worse, the big tiger complained to Lan Zhen, it was not the child's fault, the child should not be beaten, they never did a fight, and they quarreled for the child's hunger.
Not only the big tiger family, but also other villagers, you just listen, at night, Shayu Village will be 'lively', children cry, adults noisy, once became the night scene of Shayu Village.
Lan Zhen really had no choice, she had to use the moonlight to dig some wild vegetables on the mountain to fill the children's hunger, but the wild vegetables didn't last long, and before half an hour, the children began to cry out hungry again, and the angry Lan Zhen cried and said, You are all starving ghosts reincarnated? Why can't this stomach be filled?
Parents feel sorry for their children are the same, in order not to let the children cry hungry at night, parents are eight immortals across the sea, each showing its ability, some parents, in the case of the child has been full, or like a duck, hard to stuff the child's mouth, and finally stuffed the child can only vomit, and some parents, deliberately break the nest and cakes, while the administrator can't see, stuffed into the child's small pocket, in case the child is hungry at night to eat, and some parents' practices, it is even more laughable.
Living not far from the big tiger's house, a nickname is 'Lao Hanzi', his family has seven children, each child is about a year old, and they are all boys, it is the time to grow the body, at night, seven little hungry wolves, all towards the 'old Hanzi' to eat, anxious' The old man said to the children, you just eat me, in order to let the children no longer pester themselves to eat at night, he came up with an idea, he was eating, while the administrator was not paying attention, he stuffed several nests into the trouser legs, unexpectedly, when he walked out of the cafeteria, the strap that tied the trouser legs opened, and the nest fell out of the trouser legs, just so that the administrator caught it.
For this matter, Li Ming also convened a special villagers' meeting and asked the 'old man' to review at the meeting.
In any case, under the cramming feeding of parents, the children cried less at night, and Shayu Village regained a brief period of peace.
However, as soon as the children's problems subsided, the villagers' problems returned.
Especially in winter, it gets dark early, the villagers eat early in the big canteen, go home and can't sleep, have more free time and don't have to do it, as the saying goes, 'full of warmth and idle things', people with a heart will get together, sit on the hot kang, chat about the short time in the parents, boring people, especially people like 'fast mouth', will run to the east and west, inevitably talk nonsense, nothing to do, this no, Li Ming received Jin Changyuan's reflection of the situation.
Jin Changyuan said that the 'little fast mouth' swore to the villagers that Jin Changshuo relied on the relatives of the village assistant Jin Changyuan to hack his man's money, and if Li Ming did not deal with it, she would report it to the superior leaders in charge of Li Ming, and also said that she did not believe that there was no reason.
Jin Changyuan felt that the situation was serious, although he never believed the truth of the words of 'Xiao Kuaizui', but in order to maintain the stability of Shayu Village and the reputation of the village cadres, he still asked Li Ming to conduct a thorough investigation, and Li Ming listened to Jin Changyuan's suggestion, because what 'Xiao Kuaizui' said involved Jin Changyuan, and Li Ming decided that this matter should be investigated and verified by him personally.
Li Ming first found the party Jin Changshuo and a person who played cards to understand the situation, Jin Changshuo 1510 restored the 'little fast mouth' said things, he said, that night, he was playing cards with a few friends,' Xiao Kuaizui's husband Han Qisheng also came over, originally a few of them were just playing, whoever lost, put a small note on whose face, but Han Qisheng looked at it and said, how boring this is, he proposed to have a stimulus, play money, listened to his suggestion, several people present touched their pockets, and found that there was not much money on their bodies, so they didn't plan to play, at this time, Han Qisheng took out a pile of gross tickets from his pocket, saying that he would lend them to them, and after winning the money in a while, he would return it to him.
So, Jin Changshuo and a few of them, they divided the money that Han Qisheng took into four parts, after playing for a few hours, the money in Han Qisheng's hand had already lost all his money, he had to borrow it from the person who played cards, and it was already playing until midnight, Jin Changshuo thought that he would have to work in the field tomorrow, so he didn't want to play, but Han Qisheng didn't do it, because he found that the money he lent out, because of his bad luck, he couldn't get it back, not only could he not get it back, he also owed money to several people, which Han Qisheng didn't expect, he originally wanted to use his money, Put a long line to catch a big fish, but unexpectedly, the fish is not caught, and the fishing gear is gone.
Of course he was unwilling, after returning home, he didn't dare to tell the truth to his daughter-in-law', so he lied that Jin Changshuo used gambling to hack his money from selling goods, and let him carry gambling debts, Li Ming believes that on the surface, this matter is a few people playing cards, but what is reflected is that after the implementation of the canteen in Shayu Village, the education of the villagers has been neglected, and in the long run, it will pollute the cultural environment of Shayu Village and destroy the construction of Shayu Village.
In order to show fairness, Li Ming also found the other party, the 'little fast mouth', and their evidence collection was full of twists and turns, Han Qisheng in front of the 'little fast mouth', iron mouth and steel teeth, is a bite to bite, it was Jin Changshuo who set up a bureau and asked him to drill into it, not only hacked his money, but also made him owe debts, and the 'little fast mouth' also shouted, if he didn't deal with Jin Changshuo seriously because he took into account the face of Jin Changyuan's village assistant, he would go to the commune to complain, in' When Xiao Kuaizui' shouted, Li Ming found that Han Qisheng's eyes were dodgy, and when he spoke, he always stared at 'Little Kuaizui', Li Ming decided to let 'Little Kuaizui' avoid it.
After the 'little fast mouth' went out, Li Ming patiently did Han Qisheng's ideological work, telling him that he should be honest and credible, if because he lied, he made trouble in the commune, and even the public security bureau intervened, the problem would be serious, he advised Han Qisheng to think clearly, which is more important, under Li Ming's offensive, Han Qisheng finally admitted that it was indeed he who encouraged Jin Changshuo and a few of them to play with the money, and the gambling money was also provided by him, but he didn't expect that he would lose all the money, Li Ming told Han Qisheng that he had the courage to admit his mistakes, or the contradictions among the people, but he still had to make a review at the villagers' meeting。
When Li Ming told the facts confessed by Han Qisheng to 'Little Kuaizui', ' Xiao Kuaizui' turned over at the time, she said, it must be Li Ming who put pressure on her husband, otherwise, why in front of her, her husband refused to speak, behind her back, her husband said the opposite, Li Ming found Han Qisheng and asked him to tell his daughter-in-law the truth, Han Qisheng had to expose the lie himself, he said, the money that his daughter-in-law gave him to buy things, he did not buy it, but used it to gamble, he was afraid that his daughter-in-law would know the truth and be over with him, so he made up the lie that Kim Changshuo set up a bureau and hacked his money, and the daughter-in-law listened to it and gave her husband an ear scraper。
Before convening the meeting, Li Ming called Jin Changshuo and several people who participated in the game that day to the village office, severely criticized their behavior of playing money, and ordered them to hand over the gambling money to the village, and also asked them to make a profound review at the general meeting of the villagers.
After the four of them made a review, 'Little Kuaizui' also stood up, she said in front of the villagers, she only listened to her husband's words, and spread false news everywhere, which had a bad impact on the villagers, she wanted to say to Li Ming and Jin Changyuan, she was wrong, she apologized for her behavior, and Li Ming was very happy to see the change of 'Little Kuaizui', after the meeting,' Xiao Kuaizui' found Li Ming, she said that her husband's gambling money was the only savings in the family, and begged Li Ming to return the money to his family when they both knew they were wrong, and Li Ming said that he would discuss it with Jin Changyuan.
Running on the principle of punishing the former and treating the disease and saving people, Li Ming and Jin Changyuan finally decided to return the money to the 'little fast mouth' couple, and after receiving the money, the two said that they would be good people.
Through this incident, Li Ming realized that the ideological education work of the villagers is a long-term and arduous task, and he cannot relax at any time, so he germinated the idea of re-running the literacy class, he found Dahu and wanted Dahu to handle this matter, but at this time, Dahu has lost the spirit of the year, and the pressure of the life of the six children overwhelmed him, and he told Li Ming that he supported this matter, but he had more than enough strength to do it, and hoped that Li Ming could understand.
Li Ming wanted to hand over this matter to Jin Changyuan again, Jin Changyuan told Li Ming that the current matter of the big canteen made him anxious, and if he was put in charge of the literacy class again, he was worried that he would be like a bear breaking a stick, and he would not be able to take care of this end and not be able to take care of the other, and in the end he would not be able to do anything, so Li Ming had to put the matter of running the class on hold.
Gradually, there was a food shortage in the big canteen, the grain laid in the field was far from meeting the needs of the villagers, the original staple food of the big canteen became a limited staple food, and the insufficient part was replaced by stick noodle porridge, the villagers began to complain, saying that when the porridge was not drunk, there was no strength when working, and when the meal was opened, the villagers were eager to drink with a basin, and later, the porridge also changed from the original thick porridge to thin porridge, and when they were not full, the villagers realized that the big canteen was not the communism they wanted.
Several children of Dahu's family were hungry and screamed all day long, and Dahu had no choice, so he secretly went to other villages to collect work, wanting to earn more food for the children.
It happened that the production team of the neighboring village needed to build a horse shed, they found the big tiger, he told the captain that the condition was that the work was done, just give some food, the captain responded in one bite, it originally took a week of work, the big tiger finished it in three days, he wanted to get the food as soon as possible, so that the children could have a full meal.
When it came time to settle the bill, the captain was embarrassed by the big tiger and said that he had just gone to the village treasury to take a look, there was no food, only a few pieces of bean cakes for feeding the horses, he said, if the big tiger did not dislike it, he could move home a piece, after listening to the captain's words, although he was a little disappointed, but it was better than nothing, he gladly accepted, just like that, three days of hard work in exchange for a piece of bean cake to feed the horses.
Here I want to introduce that the bean cake fed to the horse is about two circles larger than the cake we cook at home every day, and the thickness must be two or three centimeters.
The big tiger carried the bean cake back to the house, he put the bean cake on the kang casually, the children saw the bean cake, just like a wolf saw the sheep cub, very excited, but when they wanted to share, but found that this bean cake is quite strong, or the second clever, he ran to the kitchen to bring the rolling pin, according to the bean cake is a mess knock, the bean cake was broken, several children rushed up, you take a piece, I take a piece, put it in the mouth, rattle and chew, thirsty, they take a bowl of cold water to drink, and then continue to chew, When Dahu finished his work in the yard and returned to the house, there were only some crumbs left in the bean cakes, and Dahu couldn't bear to blame them.
When it's time to go to bed, it's amazing, a few children keep rolling on the kang, shouting that the stomach hurts, the big tiger just lifted the child's clothes to check, it doesn't matter, but the big tiger was frightened, only to see the children's stomachs, all of them rose like a big ball full of gas, the big tiger hurried to invite Lang Zhong, after Lang Zhong came, he gently patted the stomach of several children with his hand, and concluded that it was a stomach pain caused by acute indigestion.
When he learned that the children ate the soybean cake and drank cold water, Lang Zhong began to blame the big tiger, the children are not sensible, adults should know that the soybean cake is made of raw soybeans crushed and pressed, and the horse eats too much, which is not easy to digest, not to mention the people, because the soybeans themselves are not easy to digest, and the raw soybeans are even more difficult to digest.
Seeing the children's pain, Dahu's intestines were repentant, fortunately, Lang Zhong told Dahu that fortunately it was found in time and would not have serious consequences, he prescribed some herbs to help the children digest, and asked Lan Zhen to quickly decoct the children, and the children began to shit and fart less than half an hour after drinking the medicine, and after a few rounds, the children's stomachs finally deflated, but they were also exhausted.
From then on, don't mention the word bean cake in front of them, even if the villagers unintentionally mention these two words, a few children want to vomit when they cover their mouths.
