44 One Stone Stirs Up a Thousand Waves (4)
Ma Jinsuo shook off Liu Xiaocui'er's entanglement, came out of the house, holding two bottles of wine in his left hand and a large bag of wine and food in his right hand, and went directly to Ma Changming's house.
Ma Jinsuo's father, Ma Changchun, and Ma Changming are the grandsons of the same grandfather. The relationship between the two families has always been very close.
Ma Changchun was a capable person in the village back then, and in the fifties and sixties, he was once the most famous person within a radius of dozens of miles, because the pine forest on the mountain was formed by Ma Changchun's father and his mutual aid group, under the guidance of the technicians in the district, from seedling raising to afforestation. The small hillside village is called Songlintuo from then on.
Under the influence of his father, Ma Changchun became the promoter of the rural contract responsibility system in the 80s of the last century, and thus won the support of the majority of villagers, and was elected chairman of the village committee with a high vote in all the elections of the village committee.
Ma Changming is Ma Changchun's generation, which is relatively young. In the early days of reform and opening up, the young Ma Changming gave Ma Changchun advice, so that the people of Songlintuo got rid of hunger very early and achieved food and clothing.
Since then, Ma Changming has been Ma Changchun's military advisor. Ma Changchun, who is the village committee, will discuss anything with his cousin Ma Changming. Ma Changming helped Ma Changchun without hesitation. The two of them often analyze the people and things in the village together, and study together, Ma Changming gave Ma Changchun ideas and thought of a way. Many of the problems were dealt with by Ma Changming in a whim.
The reality of the high altitude of the pine forest limits the further development of the village. But the villagers all thought that Ma Changchun wanted to take the risk back then and lead them to implement the joint production contract responsibility system to get rid of the starvation, and because Ma Changchun was more fair, he let him be in the position of director of the village committee and have been doing things for everyone.
Ma Changming has also become a little Zhuge in everyone's minds. In addition to Ma Changchun's attention to him, the people of the Songlin Tuoma family, whoever encounters a big thing or a small affair, will ask Ma Changming to come up with ideas and find a way.
Ma Changming himself is a very smart person. But because he was in school to catch up with that decade, he didn't learn much during his school years. On the contrary, they are more involved in the affairs of the village, and they are more skilled in farm work. Among these people of the same age, they read books and newspapers, and they are a bit educated, and they are the kind of people who smoke and drink after doing farm work, and have nothing to do. Just think about something.
To figure things out, you need to understand the policy. Ma Changming has the most convenient condition, that is, Ma Changchun's help. Every time Ma Changchun came back from a meeting, because his culture was not high and his understanding was not particularly thorough, he often took the meeting documents and Ma Changming to study policies together.
In this way, Ma Changming not only improved rapidly in terms of policy, but also grasped more information in all aspects. Although he is not a village cadre, because Ma Changchun often communicates with him, the principles and policies of governments at all levels are also grasped in a timely manner and understood very thoroughly. Therefore, big and small things in the village can be planned for Ma Changchun. Come up with an idea, figure it out.
If someone from the Ma family finds him for something, he will also change according to the general policy. and make specific recommendations. The people of the old Ma family have something to discuss with him. The answers were all specific and constructive. According to Ma Changming's idea, everything went smoothly. Because it's a matter of policy, or a big thing at home, it's all the same.
Slowly, a habit is formed. Everything that the old Ma family has, no matter whose family it is, will find Ma Changming to ask for advice. Ma Changming has therefore become the wisdom of the old Ma family. Not only Lao Ma's family, but also many people in Songlintuo Village often go to consult Ma Changming when they have something.
Although Ma Changming is a capable person in the village, this person is very low-key and peaceful. So the villagers who are not Lao Ma's family are also willing to make friends with him. Ma Changming is another relatively enthusiastic person. Whoever I ask for him, he will give people a solid heart. To help analyze the problem from the perspective of others, solve the problem, and make suggestions.
Rural people have little knowledge, and high-altitude mountain villages are even more closed. There are few people from outside, and information is not developed. So, people are very axial. When you encounter one thing, you won't turn a corner when you go to the dark. So often hit the nails. Whether it is in the sophistication of human feelings, or in the grasp of policies, whether it is in the relationship between people, or in the relationship between individuals and collectives, as long as it does not conform to one's own interests, we will not be able to turn a corner in our thinking. There is often friction, and all kinds of small contradictions are constant.
Ma Changming often helps people sort out these contradictions. People who can't think of it find Ma Changming, and Ma Changming does their ideological work. Break open and fall asleep, and tell them the ins and outs of this matter, the rights and wrongs. Until they figure it out. Ma Changming not only has this level, but also this patience.
Slowly, a habit was formed. The villagers are willing to communicate with Ma Changming if they have anything that they can't figure out ideologically, because they are equal in status. In particular, Ma Changming will not condescend to criticize, but exchange views with you on an equal footing. Use the most simple language and the most profound truth to let you figure things out, solve them well, and resolve the contradictions that arise.
In the early 90s of the last century, the era when the whole people broke into the market and did business. Although the pine forest is at a high altitude, the information outside is not smooth. But the east wind of the development of the social team enterprise has also blown here. The idea of relying on the mountains to eat the mountains has penetrated into the hearts of the villagers in the mountain villages. Several villagers wanted to raise money to open the mountain and blow up the stones.
The village cadres strongly disagreed.
The village committee headed by Ma Changchun, with the support of the party branch, resolutely resisted this kind of behavior of opening mountains and blowing up stones. First of all, it was not easy for this forest to be planted in the first place. Moreover, it was famous far and wide at that time, and the experience of seedling cultivation and afforestation of pine forest was promoted. It also makes this village a civilized village in the province and even the whole country. Protecting this forest has become Ma Changchun's firm goal.
If the villagers want to open the mountain and blow up the rocks, they will inevitably destroy the forest. It was Ma Changchun who resolutely did not allow it. But in that era when everyone broke into the market and every family did business, Ma Changchun became a very unfashionable person. The villagers want to contract the mountain farm, not for greenery or afforestation, but to open a sand and gravel field.
The village committee resolutely refuses to contract. Because Ma Changchun knew the purpose of these people to contract the farm, he discussed with the old branch secretary that the mountainous area covered with dense forests was resolutely not contracted to the outside world. So as not to be exploited by a few people.
A strong countercurrent, some villagers, united to oppose Ma Changchun. Although village council elections were not so common at that time. Candidates for the chairmanship of the new committee must be approved by their superiors. There is no method of sea audition. There is no threat to the position of director of the Ma Changchun Village Committee. But there was an undercurrent among the villagers, and the call for Ma Changchun's dismissal was getting louder and louder.
Forests and mountains have become an ecological environment that Ma Changchun wants to protect with his life. There is a sharp opposition to the ideas of some villagers. The two forces are inseparable. Although the villagers could not dismiss Ma Changchun through normal channels, anonymous letters denounced Ma Changchun one after another.
Ma Changchun was also distressed by this. In order to untie this dead knot, he found Ma Changming.
Ma Changming knew that it was villager Liu Fengshan who was right with Ma Changchun in this matter.
Liu Fengshan is a veteran who has returned from the army, and he has been tempered in the melting pot of the army, and after returning to the village, he has tried every means to change the backward appearance of the village. The idea of relying on the mountain to eat the mountain was born from this. The torrent of social enterprises pushed him to want to build this quarry.
Liu Fengshan contacted several villagers and found Ma Changchun to contract the barren mountain. Ma Changchun firmly pushed them back. Non-negotiable.
Ma Changming understands this situation.
After Ma Changchun found Ma Changming, the two of them summed it up, and finally decided that Ma Changming would come forward to do Liu Fengshan's work.
Ma Changming used the most ingenious method to resolve the confrontation between the two people.
Ma Changchun's son Ma Jinsuo, and Liu Fengshan's daughter Liu Xiaocui, were still two elementary school children at the time. But there is this rule in the mountains, especially Songlintuo, because there is little communication with the outside, and the children in the village are often assigned to marry by the elderly.
The two rivals have become two in-laws, and Ma Changming's move can be said to have completely resolved the contradiction between the two people. not only made Liu Fengshan die of the matter of mining the quarry, but also made Ma Changchun's protection of the green mountains and clear waters come true. It has also achieved a good marriage.
There are still a lot of things like this in Ma Changming. The list goes on.
Ma Changming, the most sensible person in the village, was confused about the matter of land transfer this time, which couldn't help but make Ma Jinsuo a little anxious. If it is a dry preaching, Ma Jinsuo can't say Ma Chengming.
But as a nephew, with good wine and good food, it means that two people eat food while drinking, and this matter is likely to make Ma Jinsuo make sense.
In front of him was the gate of Ma Changming's house, Ma Jin locked and walked a few steps, came to the gate, stretched out his hand and pushed the door open. As he entered the door, he said, "Uncle, how about we have two cups at noon today?" ”
