64. Spring
January 1982 was destined to be an unquiet month.
Xiao Zhengping was sent to the county by the township government, was draped in a big red flower, and together with other "10,000 households", he received a commendation from the leaders of the county party committee.
After the commendation meeting, these 10,000 households were still pulled around the county by trucks like labor prisoners.
A few days after returning home, Zou Shusheng read out a summary of the famous No. 1 Central Document he had read in the newspaper through a loudspeaker.
In this document, the central authorities formally affirmed the socialist nature of the household contract responsibility system, not only affirming the contract production to the households, but also introducing the contract into the agricultural field, which marked the formal end of the past commune-managed agriculture, and the market contract system of agriculture officially entered the historical stage.
Almost at the same time, the county tobacco bureau also came to the notice, the content of which was no longer to give tobacco farmers the task of charging by household, but to sign a contract, and farmers who were willing to grow tobacco could sign a contract with the tobacco station according to their own tobacco land, and the tobacco station would provide tobacco seedlings and fertilizer according to the number agreed in the contract. If you are not willing to continue growing tobacco, you can not sign a contract.
Anyway, it means that the farmers can plant whatever they want, and even if you don't plant anything, no one will say anything.
Farmer is a calm and powerful word, the farmer is like an old ox, hard-working, doing the most inconspicuous work, but carrying the heaviest burden. When the country needs it, the peasants will silently bear the burden, and when the burden is unloaded, their joy is always so subtle.
The good news came one after another, Xiao Zhengping was a little overwhelmed, he found that the people in the team were not as happy as he imagined, but he saw that before spring, there were busy figures in the farmland.
......
With the advent of winter, Xiao Zhengping's plan to harvest bamboo shoots gradually spread, although Yang Guangsheng clearly said that he did not approve of it in his letter, Xiao Zhengping decided that this matter could not be listened to him. Because Xiao Zhengping knows that soon after the production responsibility system is affirmed, the individual economy is about to take the stage, as Yang Guangsheng himself said, the country is about to usher in a long and vigorous spring. Xiao Zhengping thought to himself, since the whole country has ushered in spring, people who have no reason to do business will not be welcomed.
Xiao Kunguo still decided to continue to grow tobacco, he said that he had never done anything else in his life, if he didn't even grow flue-cured tobacco, then wouldn't he become a waste?
Xiao Zhengping didn't bother to persuade the uncle, he knew that the uncle decided that the two scalpers in the family couldn't pull it back, but he still tried his best to pull the uncle to other townships to be a "technical consultant" a few times.
The second uncle, Xiao Kunshui, was really busy, so he handed over the family's land to Xiao Kunguo, and his own stove contributed to Xiao Zhengping to roast bamboo shoots.
Who would have thought that in this month, when the whole team should recuperate, the people on the hill picking bamboo shoots and preparing the land would be as busy as in June and July, and some people even got plum saplings out of nowhere and began to think about their own orchards.
The end of the year is approaching, people are still busy, everyone is very hard, but everyone's face is full of sincere smiles.
However, it was at such a festive moment that several miserable screams came from the courtyard of Lao Ye's house.
Several neighbors nearby ran into the courtyard of Lao Ye's house when they heard the sound, and as soon as they entered, they saw Li Saihua running out of the house covered in blood.
The neighbors asked what happened, and Li Saihua cried and trembled, just shouting, but couldn't say anything.
Those who were bold hurriedly walked into the house, and then saw Lao Ye lying in a pool of blood in pain, while Lao Ye's son Chen Jinzhou stood aside in a daze with a kitchen knife.
When Xiao Zhengping knew about this, someone came to him to ask for help, hoping that he would use a small four-wheeler to send Lao Ye to the township health station.
Xiao Zhengping didn't hesitate for a moment, handed over the affairs of the family to Xiuye, who came back from vacation, and then got into the small four-wheel cab, and arrived at Lao Ye's house with one foot of the accelerator.
At this time, all the faceless characters in the team arrived, and Dr. Xu simply stopped Lao Ye's bleeding, and at this time, he was bandaging Lao Ye's wound with a production team leader; The women's director and deputy branch secretary Chen Jinshan comforted the frightened Li Saihua in the courtyard; Branch secretary Zou Shusheng, accountant Hu Shanchuan, and another production team leader detained Chen Jinzhou and asked him a few words from time to time.
When Dr. Xu saw Xiao Zhengping, he immediately shouted for someone to help, someone took out a few mattresses from Lao Ye's house and spread them in a small four-wheeled carriage, and the two production team leaders carried Lao Ye into the car with the help of Dr. Xu.
Before he had time to ask what was going on, Xiao Zhengping got into the car at the urging of Dr. Xu, and then went straight to the township health station.
After the doctor at the township health station took Lao Ye in, Xiao Zhengping asked the two production team leaders about it.
It turned out that everything happened logically - Lao Ye beat his wife who had not yet recovered, and his son suddenly broke out and cut down Lao Ye with a kitchen knife.
Not long after, a doctor came out of the ward, and he told Dr. Xu that the knife wound did not hurt the artery, and Dr. Xu dealt with it in a timely manner, so Lao Ye only needed to clean the wound, and after stitching it up, he would stay in the hospital for a few days to eliminate inflammation.
When he entered the ward, Lao Ye had been stripped naked and covered in bandages.
Xiao Zhengping originally wanted to take the opportunity to mock a few words, but he found that Lao Ye's eyes were still full of horror, and he didn't even seem to hear what Dr. Xu asked him.
What could be more sarcastic than a son slashing Lao Tzu with a knife!
So Xiao Zhengping swallowed the words that reached his throat and swallowed them into his stomach.
Seeing that Lao Ye didn't even respond to a few questions, Dr. Xu beckoned the others out of the ward.
At this time, Zou Shusheng and a few people hurriedly ran over, and when they saw Dr. Xu, they asked what was wrong.
Dr. Xu told the branch secretary that there was nothing serious, but he had cut a few cuts and had dozens of stitches.
Zou Shusheng estimated that he was overly frightened, and after listening to Dr. Xu's words, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, his legs suddenly weakened, and he squatted down against the corner of the wall.
"Branch secretary, what's going on in Jinzhou?" Xiao Zhengping took the opportunity to ask.
Zou Shusheng's eyes were confused, and the whole portrait was drained, "It's been sent to the police station, and it's being processed." ”
Chen Jinshan, who rushed over together, shook his head, suddenly squeezed out of the crowd, and walked into Lao Ye's ward angrily.
"Chen Changye! Now you're satisfied! Retribution! The son cut Lao Tzu, that is God's retribution! Why don't you just die! Bastard thing! A good offspring, you are a self-conscious wow~~"
The more Chen Jinshan scolded, the more ugly he became, and the more he scolded, the more excited he became, but no one tried to dissuade him. Later, it was the doctor at the health station who alarmed Chen Jinshan and pulled him out of the ward.
At this time, Zou Shusheng spoke, "Shanchuan, settle the medical expenses, this matter has to be counted on the team headquarters, you can arrange Lao Ye's hospitalization, Jinshan, I think we have to go to the township government, such a big matter has to be reported to the superiors, Lan Ying, you go to the police station and wait, Jinzhou is in prison this time, Li Saihua is stimulated, someone has to watch her." Everyone else is waiting in the hospital, so take a good look at Lao Ye for me. ”
With that, Zou Shusheng struggled to stand up, and then walked out of the health station with Chen Jinshan.
