Chapter 0001 - Surname Bai Mingshou
White Hand is a personal name, really, and worthy of the name.
In the Wen (Ling) Huang (Yan) Plain on the coast of eastern Zhejiang, there is a natural village called Baicun.
The strange thing is that there are more than 100 households in Bai Village, either surnamed Tong or Chen, and only one family has the surname Bai.
The old man of the Bai family and the old lady of the Bai family, Fang Yuan is very famous for dozens of miles, and the old couple work in government agencies, one guards the gate and the other works as a cleaner.
Before liberation, he was a guerrilla traffic officer, an old revolutionary, but he had no education, so he worked as a handyman in an organ.
In 1975, the old couple retired early together, and the second son and third son took over for work, one worked as a factory worker and the other drove a car in an institution, and both ate commercial grain.
Mr. Bai had four sons and a daughter, the youngest son was a soldier outside, and the youngest was a daughter, who also taught at the commune's central primary school after graduating from high school.
Only the eldest son, Bai Zhenxing, did not get the slightest benefit from Old Man Bai.
Not only is there no benefit, since Bai Zhenxing was born, Old Man Bai has not seen it once.
It turned out that Bai Zhenxing was born on the first day of the first month, and in the local area, it is said that people born on the first day of the first month suffered all their lives and were a disaster star.
As soon as Bai Zhenxing was born, he was given to Tong Lao Wu in the same village, Tong Lao Wu was a bachelor all his life and was a storyteller.
Not to mention, although Bai Zhenxing has never entered school, he has learned Tong Lao Wu's storytelling skills thoroughly.
Qing out of the blue and better than the blue, Bai Zhenxing relied on the ability to tell stories, did not do a day of farm work, after the death of Tong Lao Wu, he became a famous storyteller in the Wenhuang Plain.
Relying on this craft, Bai Zhenxing married a wife and gave birth to two sons and daughters one after another.
Bai Zhenxing's wife, Guo Cai'e, is from the mountains and is good-looking. But since he was a child, he suffered from polio, was born with a leg disease, and had anemia, so he couldn't do farm work.
With many children and a heavy burden, Bai Zhenxing was under a lot of pressure, and he began to drink heavily and give up on himself.
Later, Bai Zhenxing simply disappeared, leaving home from time to time, not giving money to the family, and leaving the family to live or die.
In 1980, Bai Zhenxing left home after the Spring Festival, and by the end of autumn in the second half of the year, there was no one.
That's it, as the eldest son's white hand, he drove ducks to the shelves, and became a family member without hesitation.
White hand is fifteen years old, has just graduated from junior high school, looks like his father, also has clear eyebrows, a baby face, and a strong and tall figure.
It's a pity that the unlucky child of the white hand, like his father, happened to be born on the first day of the first lunar month, and he is also what people call the "disaster star".
This is not enough, the palm of the left hand of the white hand, there is a white scar the size of a bean, which is brought in the mother's womb.
At the beginning of the first month, there is no good luck with the white spots on the left hand.
With these two old sayings, he was destined to be a white-handed child, no one in the village wanted to play with him, no one went to his door, and no one allowed him to enter the house.
After barely five years of elementary school and two years of junior high school, he has never been at the same table with his white hands, who wants to sit with a disaster star.
As for the name of Baishou, it was given by the unreliable father, and it was quite realistic, and as soon as he called it casually, it was called in the village.
The white hand himself thinks very openly, he has no heart since he was a child, his name is a symbol, and he can be called whatever people like.
At the age of ten, he began to work in the production team, and he was not lazy in his work. They were all from a village, and most people did not bully him, and at the age of fifteen, his work was seven-tenths of that of an adult.
The white hand is an optimist, happy all day long, you scold him and he is happy, I have never seen him worry.
The white-handed brain is good, the ghost idea is full of ideas, and he has been in charge for more than half a year, but he didn't let the whole family go hungry.
The white palm is a little ruthless, the hand is a little spicy, and he has suffered a little loss, he will secretly make up for it, who wants to bully his younger brothers and sisters, he dares to smash your doors and windows with a hoe.
But tonight, the white hand was worried, so worried that he squatted at the door alone, motionless for a long time.
Tomorrow, the above will send a work team to Baicun to carry out pilot projects, and the production team will divide the fields into households and implement the household responsibility system for joint production.
It's a good thing to do your own work, and you like it with white hands.
But what should I do if I owe more than 80 yuan to the team?
According to the regulations, the production team was disbanded, the means of production in the team should be divided, and the arrears should be repaid first.
The white hand knew that for more than 80 yuan, he sold all the more than 700 catties of late rice that had just been distributed to his family, and it was not enough to pay it back.
Except for the rice, the family was so poor that it was tinkling, four broken bungalows, a broken car, and nothing of value.
If you don't pay off the debt, how can you be embarrassed to divide the fields, those big farm tools in the team, farm boats, rice threshing machines, rakes, and water wheels...... The right to use it is lost.
A living person can't let people suffocate to urine, and if there are more lice, they are not afraid of biting, and there are always more ways than trouble.
Go to the old captain with white hands.
The entire first production team, more than 40 households, and more than 160 people, is also treated as a white-handed person by the old captain.
The old captain is a very good man, he comforts the white hand, owes money to the production team, and he guarantees it. When the time comes, the debts of the white-handed family will be distributed to several families, arranged by the old captain, and the persuasion work will be done.
In short, the old captain reassured Bai Shou that no matter what, the Bai family would be able to get the contracted land that should be shared.
The white hand was relieved, hummed a little song, and went home in the night.
When he walked around the corner, the urge to urinate came, and his white hand stopped, smiling evilly, while urinating on the root of the wall.
This is Accountant Chen, who has many brothers, this guy doesn't deal with the Bai family, he looks down on the white hand the most, and the white hand suffers his loss.
I can't dig the foot of the Chen family's wall, and it's good to pee and get angry.
Hey, there's still a kerosene lamp in the house, and there's someone talking.
Curiosity sparked, and he tiptoed to the windowsill and put one ear to the gap in the wooden window.
"Big brother, how will the field be divided tomorrow?" The voice of the second child of the Chen family.
"The old rules, catch lots." It was Accountant Chen's broken voice.
"There are good fields and there are bad fields. Big brother, if we get a bad field, we will suffer a big loss. "This is the third child of the Chen family, and he often fights with his white hands.
"Yes, big brother. If you get that piece of high field, you won't be able to pay the irrigation fee if there is a water leak at both ends in three days. "The second elder of the Chen family is the smartest, that is, the most cunning, and is known as the Chen family's military division.
Dog's Day Chen Lao Er, white hands said, you white hand grandfather I think so too.
"So, tomorrow you have to act on the opportunity and grasp the lot. Listen, you two, this lot must be done by me. Whoever ranks first and divides first will be able to get a good field. When the time comes, you will be the first to draw lots, and catch the lots that I have marked. ”
……
Listening with his white hands, he almost laughed out loud, and quickly covered his mouth with his hands.
There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them.
The partition wall has ears, Chen Da Chen Er Chen San of the dog day, I thank you with white hands.
While laughing, he quietly took more than ten steps back, turned around and ran with his white hands......
