Chapter 18: The Bones of Death
On a barren hill, the moonlight shone on two bleak figures. The person standing was a little rickety, but he was trying to straighten his waist, and the person who was kneeling was trying to lower his head a little lower, a little lower.
At the foot of the hillside, six short figures looked at the two rays of light on the hillside, waiting for their fate.
Zhang Rulong and Xiaoniao are witnessing this cross-era scene.
"The times, the times." Zhang Rulong shook his head.
The little bird sighed faintly, "Zhang Zhangjiao, where are you suffering now?" ”
"Me?" Zhang Rulong pointed at himself, and Xiao Suo sighed, "I'm living a good life in Malaysia now." ”
The bird nodded lightly and stopped talking.
The other side.
Tan Song helped Tan Jianguo up and walked down the hill.
Tan Song sat on the ground, took Zhang Daniu's hand and said, "Zhang takes the cabinet." This six, you can rest assured to hand it over to my grandson. As for you, you'll have to be shipped away with me. ”
Zhang Da Niu prostrate on the ground, not saying a word, just crying vigorously, as sad as a wild ghost crying on the grave.
When we describe a person who is in despair, the ironic one is like mourning, and the comforting one is mourning.
But Zhang Daniu's sadness can't find a single adjective, but just like his constant wailing, what else can he say besides crying?
Say what works?
Lao Tzu is a man who has been abandoned by God, what is the use of saying anything?
——
The next day at noon.
When everyone was resting in the field, Tan Song carried the package on his back, greeted the people in the field one by one, and headed to the west.
After Tan Song left Jinpu Township, Zhang Daniu's family of five waited at the foot of the mountain, and followed Tan Song straight to the west, without stopping.
And Zhang Liu was arranged by Tan Jianguo to fall asleep in a hidden corner on his back mountain.
The Tan family heard that Tan Song's "will" lived as usual, just like Tan Song would come back soon.
Tan Ya locked himself in the room and cried.
Tan Jianguo was also squatting in the room alone, but there was no sound, and later Tan Qi went in to clean the room only to find that it was a mess, a large piece of rice paper on the desk, which seemed to have written something with a brush, but it was wet with water and couldn't see clearly.
Not to mention that Tan Zhang and other juniors don't know what happened.
Tan Song's other four sons left the Tan family early and did not come back for a long time.
——
He Zhiyu was under the incense lamp, and seemed to find that the grandfather on the bed suddenly shed a tear?
——
Zhang Rulong and Xiaoniao stood beside Tan Jianguo and sighed.
They all knew that this old man Tan Song would take the rest of the Zhang family and others away soon after he counted his lifespan, and find a place to wait for death.
But the people in the village will think that Tan Song is just going out to visit relatives and will come back soon.
This made the Tan family god afraid, and there was a little bit of residual power.
But as Tan Song said, this is a measure of rights and interests, when the old man Tan Song does not go home for a long time, there will always be someone who will start to do something to the Tan family.
"Tan Song, I'm afraid that I will abandon my body in the wilderness and not return to the sect, it's great." Xiaoniao also shed tears unconsciously, "This kind of person, I'm afraid that it is a legacy of our Chinese history, and it is rare to see another person." ”

Lipp: Commune
How did the Commune come about?
The result of over-idealization.
Kang Youwei once said: To achieve common ownership, the first step is to eliminate the family! The family is wiped out! Private ownership is gone!
Taizu then said: We want to destroy the family! If there is no family, there is only sharing! Marriage, a legal couple for one year is enough! Everything that should be done in a year has been done, and there is no concept of family.
Now we think this is incredible, what does it mean to be married for a year and divorce after having a child? Just to liberate the productive forces? Just to abolish private ownership? Doesn't that set society back?
But at the time, this idealism was mainstream.
Of course, we can only say that it is idealistic, and the people of the north, who later said that it was utopianism.
And Liu Shizu (just understand it, that is, the leader surnamed Liu, and add a Shizu later, that is, the second emperor of the Kai Dynasty) thinks that it is necessary to go step by step, after all, the concept of family is a tradition of thousands of years in China, and you are going to break it all at once, so he put forward a constructive suggestion:
Things like cooking, taking children to do laundry, etc., should be collectivized, so that women's labor can be liberated! It's also shared!
Then everyone analyzed together and found that the social functions of the family are really too much!
The family was disbanded, and now in the early days of the country, no one consumes, no one does things, no one has feelings, and no one supports the elderly.
It's hard to get.
It really has to be gradual.
We must first change our concepts, so we must gather the workers, peasants, merchants, and soldiers together in a large collective, and we must first try the common concepts, and then we can gradually eliminate the family.
And so the Commune came out.
Taizu's goal is the National 10,000-Nation Society.
In the beginning, twenty or thirty households formed a cooperative, and when everyone had done a good job in the commune, they would merge, preferably one township and one commune, and one commune for 10,000 people.
The commune has seven to ten packs, which means that everything is covered, as long as you are a member of the commune, you can buy a house, study, and eat. The point is to eat for free.
The latter ones are familiar, many communes are compared, and the yield per mu is very exaggerated.
The data went north.
Beishang was very happy to see the wrong data, wow, there is so much food, I can't eat it at all.
Beishang said: The people of the whole country can eat with confidence, eat nonsense and eat from the sea, and they can't eat the same thing every week.
After going north to say this, then everyone will not be motivated to do things.
Many people simply don't do anything, just wait every day to eat, and there is a lot of steelmaking.
Of course, this is not the solution, and everyone will be miserable after the food is eaten.
As a result, each locality has its own methods, and in some places the communes are so hungry that they engage in the class struggle, while others do not engage in the class struggle for the time being, but secretly engage in food and food.
Jinpu Township belongs to the latter, it is a production brigade under a commune, where the money is not used, and it all depends on the division of work.
The captain here is called Zhou Kailu, and he is also the village chief of Jinpu Township, a person with more ideas, who governs everything more properly, basically that you have food when you do things, and if you don't do things, you have no food.
He was also alone on top.
Of course, this also has to do with the cooperation of the commune members.
In this society, you can't do it alone under the pressure from above, if the members report it, you will be done with everything, so you have to explain the benefits and disadvantages to the members.
If you want to eat, you shut up, you don't say anything.
So this is the current situation in Jinpu Township.
Zhou Kailu, he is the type who can't tolerate sand under his nose.
A week after Tan Song left, Zhou Kailu secretly came to Tan's house one night.
