The thirtieth round

Soon after the liberation, Anhua came to Anhua with a lot of cadres who went south, and Lilac Fort and Luoyingzhai did not have the previous chief of security. Lilac Fort was renamed Hongxing Village, and the village chief was Chen Xinyun of the first team.

Lilac's mother's house Luoying Village was renamed Baiying Village, and the village chief was Wang Ziyang, who was also the deputy head of the township. On the eve of liberation, he participated in the work of the underground party and contributed to the peaceful liberation of the county seat.

The newly established rural political power launched a vigorous campaign to reduce rents, exempt rents and interest, and support the Movement to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the good days of landlord Long Erye collecting rents and lending loans are gone forever.

Lilac's uncle Yao Zhipeng was finally promoted to a higher level in the 37th year of the Republic of China, and was transferred to Wugang County as a county magistrate.

During the uprising in Changsha, Hunan, Yao Zhipeng secretly agreed to the underground party uprising, and later Bai Chongxi, the director of the Wuhan camp, secretly contacted officials and rebel troops in various parts of Hunan. Yao Zhipeng weighed it and joined the Kuomintang camp, he was afraid that the connection with those underground parties would be discovered, so he ordered those underground parties to be secretly arrested and killed and exterminated.

After the Battle of Hengbao, Bai Chongxi was defeated and retreated to Guangxi, and Wugang was finally liberated by the People's Liberation Army. Yao Zhipeng slipped away before the People's Liberation Army entered the city, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then.

Yubi's eldest brother-in-law's eldest brother-in-law, He Hongguang, was the county magistrate in Longhui at that time, and vowed not to surrender to the Communist Party. After a fierce battle, he retreated to Guangxi with Zhang Gan, commander of the Third Corps, and later left for Taiwan.

At that time, Xia Sheng replied to the letter, saying that when their troops were resting after reaching Yangjiang County, Guangdong, they received an order for all members of the troops to go north to fight in Korea.

The letter details the process of his joining the army.

After he ran away with his mother in anger, he wanted to go to Ningxiang to do something to earn some money, and when he passed by the post shop, he met the Kuomintang troops who were setting up a card to arrest him. Originally, it was only for the team to be a picker, and after delivery, you could go home. After being delivered, the soldier turned his face and denied it, and sent Xia Sheng a Hanyang gun that he didn't know if it could be hit, and he didn't let him go.

Poor Lilac Mother-in-law bought two strong men for Xia Sheng, but after all, she couldn't escape this road, and was arrested and later forcibly conscripted into the army.

Later, Xia Sheng's troops encountered the People's Liberation Army in Xinhua Chicken Crying Rock, and all of them were taken prisoner after firing a few shots.

The cadres of the People's Liberation Army did a lot of ideological and political work, and Xia Sheng was deeply moved and joined the PLA. During the attack in Guangdong, village chief Chen Xinyun came to the door on behalf of the newly established Hongxing Village Committee and sent Xia Sheng's meritorious service commendation to Granny Ding Xiang in the army. At that time, the mother-in-law was so moved that she couldn't calm down for a long time, and the Qiusheng couple was also very happy.

After the liberation, Lilac's life improved, and they rented the land of the second master Long's family, and a lot of land rent was reduced.

When Second Master Long used to see Qiusheng and these tenants, he always looked at the sky with his eyes on a civilized stick and never looked at the sky properly, but now when he sees the tenants, they all bow their heads and bow their waists to say hello.

Because Xia Sheng was in the team, Qiu Sheng was also appointed by Village Chief Chen to be the leader of the village militia, issued a gun, and carried him back to his home that day for Lilac Granny to see.

At this time, Lilac gave birth to another boy, named Yougui. It's just that when he was born, his family lacked food and drink, and he was thin and sickly when he was born. It really broke the hearts of Lilac and her mother-in-law, and they were frightened, like oil in their hands.

The village was later divided into components, Qiusheng's family was set as a tenant middle peasant, and Chunsheng's family was a poor peasant after the death of his brother-in-law.

In 52, the land reform was carried out, and the Qiusheng family divided the land, which was more than one acre of the land that was originally rented from the second master Long's family, and the other rented fields were distributed to the poor peasant Chunsheng's eldest brother.

On the day of the division of the field, the second master of the dragon was holding a civilized stick from a distance, looking at the Chunsheng and Qiusheng brothers who were measuring the land in his own field, and the pain in his heart was like a knife cutting.

Soon after, a meeting was held to complain and criticize the landlords. On the day of the meeting, cadres were sent to preside over the meeting, and Qiusheng, as the head of the militia, led the militia to bring to power the landlords or reactionary bureaucratic landlords such as Long Erye, the three adult sons of the county magistrate, and so on.

At the meeting, Village Chief Chen made a briefing, and the county cadres mobilized. After the mobilization, it was as if a gunpowder primer had been ignited, and the hatred of the landlords for generations of landlords, who were forced to pay rents and debts and usury, was aroused.

Wave after wave of condemnation made the venue a little out of control, and some villagers even came to the stage to slap the landlord who had a grudge against him.

After the county and township cadres left, some villagers in the village still refused to give up, and the Hu Mansheng brothers even came up with a vicious way to punish the landlords.

He Hongguang is a very good person at home, and when the tenants borrow grain in the year of famine, they always borrow flat and do not charge interest, and the monument is very good. If it weren't for He Hongguang as a pseudo county magistrate, his sons might have been exempted from criticism.

The second master of Long is miserable, he will lend money to collect interest in disasters and famines on weekdays, and Lilac and his family have borrowed thirty oceans because of Xia Sheng's levy on Zhuang Ding.

Hu Mansheng's recipe was to cut a new bamboo, tie the retreating bamboo branches into a handful, and split the bamboo trunk in two. Then he pushed Long Erye to the split blade-like bamboo piece and knelt, and the other half of the split bamboo was clamped in the crook of the knee, and the people with grudges at both ends and tails stepped on the bamboo pieces and jumped, and there were people behind them who beat them with bamboo sticks.

When the bamboo pieces were embedded in the flesh and bones, the white tendons of the kneecaps were exposed, and the bright red blood flowed down the bamboo pieces to the ground, and the soil was dyed dark red. At that time, Second Master Long fainted in pain, although Qiu Sheng had some resentment towards Second Master Long on weekdays, he still couldn't bear to see such a tragic scene, and turned his back and went home.

It's a pity that Second Master Long is usually mean to his neighbors, and he is still good to his family. The sixteen-year-old eldest daughter, who didn't want him to spoil on weekdays, secretly got along with the young long-term worker Gui Shunping, and in order to show that she had drawn a clear line with her father, she also secretly beat her father behind her father under Gui Shunping's instigation. In the end, he was a little guilty, and he didn't use much strength, but he was still discovered by Second Master Long.

Second Master Long, who had been tortured to death by others several times, turned his head, staring at his eldest daughter with resentment and hatred in his eyes, and said, "Big sister, big sister, you have to be punished!"

Many years later, the eldest daughter who married Gui Shunping fell into a leg pain, and she had to rest a few times after walking a few steps. The women in the neighborhood who chewed their tongues all said that it was his father's ghost that haunted her, and the eldest daughter was also a little afraid, and it was useless to call the Taoist official to ask God to open the altar.

Later, Long Erye was beaten to death, and after his death, Hu Mansheng's brothers threw him into the manger where his family usually feeds the horses, and dug a pit at the back of the house and buried him.

According to the legend of the old people, the second master of Long was sent to Lilac Fort to manage the manor as the second son, and when he passed by the high-walled alley of Meicheng, he saw a fortune teller in twos and threes. At that time, Second Master Long suddenly became interested, and shouted at the blind man nicknamed Zhou Shenxian: "Blind Zhou, everyone says that you are an immortal, I am happy today, young master, you will also tell me a fortune, yes, I will reward you with a few dollars and a few full meals!"

That week, the immortal turned to the direction of the second master of Long, and humbly owed: "It turned out that the second young master appreciated his face, and the old man thanked him first!"

After reporting the eight characters of Shenggeng, Zhou Shenxian rolled his eyes with only white beads left, pinched his fingers and counted. After a while, Zhou Shenxian had a complicated expression on his face, and he said to the second young master: "Second young master, your eight characters are a little strange, it is more accurate to touch your palms!"

After hearing this, Second Master Long hesitated for a moment, then rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his left hand, and scolded with a smile: "You dead old ghost coffin board covers your face, you usually tell fortunes for the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law, and you have to coax them to touch their hands and feet at every turn, and by the way, they also touch their waist and milk to touch their mothers!" You touch someone's big girl and little daughter-in-law because you are addicted to oil, and you want to get some wealth and wealth when you touch me? ”

That Zhou Immortal laughed for a moment, and then said in a straight voice: "Look at what your second young master said, our begging business should be the master's preaching, and we can't deceive the heavens and the earth!"

"Come on, just pretend to be a ghost and fool others, I don't believe it. Come, come, come, hurry! I'm still in a hurry to go out on errands. ”

That week, the immortal pinched the second young master's hand and pounded it.

After touching the palmistry, the gods of the week counted the eight characters. Not to mention, Zhou Shenxian is still very accurate, what brothers and sisters, the past fortune is not far from ten.

When Second Master Long heard this, he was a little proud, but he joked: "You devil, you have already inquired about my details, and you are waiting for me to dig a pit today!" Your tricks can coax the countrymen, but the ghosts can't coax me! You are really capable, you can be really ruthless when you calculate my evening scene! ”

That Zhou Immortal hesitated, his face was a little unnatural, and said, "Second Young Master, do you want me to speak more directly or be more subtle?"

"Whatever you want, anyway, young master, I will have fun today, and spend two dollars to give you a few cents of a dead blind man as a good deed." Second Master Long was careless, and answered while arranging his sleeves.

That week, the immortal thought for a moment, raised his head and rolled his eyes, and said: "Second Young Master, after a hundred years, thousands of people will be sent to the end, Zhang Tian will be in the coffin, and Wolongma will be placed."

When Second Master Long heard this, he scolded with a smile: "These thousands of people are sent to the end, young master, I have a beautiful funeral, but Zhang Tian is in the coffin, and Wolong Ma really doesn't understand."

"Second young master, this is a mystery, it's better not to be enlightened!" Zhou Shenxian replied.

"Gotcha, gotta gotcha, pretend to be a ghost! Master, I'll reward you a few more dollars than others. You must not feed this money to the mouth above you, turn your head and go to the alley of the Jiang family to feed the mouth of those prostitutes below! After laughing, he threw down a few fiat coins and took the housekeeper to Lilac Castle.

Following the sound of the direction of Second Master Long's departure, Zhou Shenxian shook his head while sorting out the money.

Later, people said that Long Erye would never have thought that the thousand people mentioned by Zhou Shenxian would eventually fight to death, and Zhang Tian's coffin was even entered into the hall after his death, and he was buried in the open air. What's even more unexpected is that the second master of the dragon is rich and noble, and the high-grade coffin made at a young age will not be useful after all, and the Wolong horse is actually lying in the manger where he feeds the horses and wraps his body in the ground.

Poor Second Master Long accumulated a lot of family wealth, and in the end, he left a corpse and no coffin was buried, so he hastily returned to the ground.

After the reform and opening up, his two sons, who had studied and left to work in other places, went home to bury him again and set up a monument for burial.

His daughter, whose legs and feet were inconvenient, knelt in front of her father's new grave full of guilt and wept loudly, repenting of her disobedience when she was young and ignorant!

In the autumn of the fifth year, Xia Sheng, who had been away from his hometown for a long time, returned to Hongxing Village. In Xia Sheng's words, he ran away in a negative mood, and after a long time, he missed the people at home day and night, especially his mother-in-law.

Xia Sheng made two meritorious contributions on the Korean battlefield and rewarded four or five people, and the army originally arranged a job to go to the Xinjiang Construction Corps to provide a meal for the public. He was worried about his mother-in-law's repeated requests to be discharged from the army and return to his hometown, but the chief had no choice but to approve it. When he returned to his hometown, the chief opened a letter of introduction to the Anhua County Township Government, hoping to arrange a job appropriately.

On the day they went home, the Lilac family had already received the letter.

Even so, when Xia Sheng went home accompanied by the township chief and village chief Chen, he knelt down on his knees in front of his mother-in-law as soon as he entered the courtyard gate. The mother and son hugged each other and cried for a long time before they entered the house under the persuasion of Qiusheng Lilac.

Soon after returning home, Xia Sheng was appointed as a senior president by the township, and later the small community merged with the large shrine, and became the commune president of the three natural village areas, including Hongxing Village.

The land allocated to individuals was re-invested in the public cooperatives. For the first time since Pangu opened the world, the land has been nationalized by the whole people.

Later, he started a group meal, and the habit of living at home with diligence and thrift on weekdays was lost.

Lilac came over with a disaster, and her heart was a little unsettled, and she said to Qiusheng when she slept at night: "Brother Qiu, the people's commune is good, but it's just that the biggest family can't stand it if it's so loud and drunk!" Back then, Second Master Long and they were so big that they had a bowl of porridge for breakfast in the year of the famine......"

Qiusheng listened, and said a little nonchalantly: "Lilac, you worry too much!" Tell me about it. Let's talk about it separately, people will accuse you of being backward and causing trouble for your brother. ”

Lilac heard this and hurriedly replied: "That's nature, I know!"

Despite this, Lilac still had a faint trace of worry in her heart, and remembered the time when her father did not eat or drink when she was a child.
