After breakfast the next morning, Jia Youcai began to call a meeting for the whole village.
The location was the Jia Family Ancestral Hall. Because it was a major event for the whole village to divide the land, everyone except the children went inside.
Even Cai Quanwu, He Daqing, Zhang Biao, Zhen Youcai and other outsiders came in to watch the fun.
There was no room in the yard, so people stood on the wall. It was packed.
In the middle of the yard, there is a large square table at the entrance of the ancestral hall.
Jia Youcai took the main seat and refused to give it up. On his left sat Lao Yang and Wang Xiulan, and on his right sat a few twenty-year-olds.
Chen Xueru and several other women stood aside. Xu Huizhen also came and stood with them.
There were many people at the scene and it was very noisy. Jia Youcai took out a Browning hammer and used it as a gavel. He slammed it on the table and with a bang, the scene slowly quieted down.
Old Yang and Wang Xiulan's eyelids twitched when they saw this.
If I hadn't known about Jiajia Village and knew that the people there were truly poor, this scene would have felt like entering a bandit's den.
The main seat is a mountain eagle. Apart from the two of them, the others are all minions, and there are also the wife of the chief, maids and servants beside them.
I always feel like I've fallen into this kid's trap and dragged them two out to endorse me.
Seeing that the scene had quieted down, Jia Youcai coughed and prepared to start speaking. It felt a bit like a meeting in a courtyard house, except for the lack of Liu Haizhong's opening remarks.
"I called everyone here early this morning because I have something important to discuss.
See these two people on my left?
They are the vanguards sent by the Red Army, and they are the saviors who come to lead everyone to fight against the local tyrants and distribute the land.
Come, let us applaud and welcome the two Red Army comrades to our Jiajia Village with warm applause.
Lao Yang and Wang Xiulan were stunned. "Didn't you say yesterday that you were the leader? You forgot all about it after one night."
He turned around and picked us both up.
The villagers were also a little confused. Why were they fighting against the landlords and dividing the land? There were no rich landlords in their village.
Seeing the scene quiet down, Jia Youcai shouted, "Are you all stupid? I'm giving you land, and you're not clapping. Do you want to have enough food to eat and live a good life?
The fields in our village all belong to the Hou family in the city. The Hou family is finished, and the Red Army is about to attack.
We have the people's savior backing us up, what are you doing?
We still have guns and food in our hands. Anyone who dares to stop us from dividing the land and preventing us from living a good life will be killed."
Lao Yang and Wang Xiu Lan were both stunned. This was just the behavior of a gangster like Zuo Shandiao.
The only consolation was that the villagers hurriedly applauded after hearing Jia Youcai's explanation.
There was a burst of cheers, and everyone's face was filled with excitement.
He kept thanking them for coming, but I had no idea how sincere he was.
Old Yang was very suspicious of these villagers. He wondered if they knew the policies of their party or if they just listened to Jia Youcai and did whatever he told them to do.
Jia Youcai nodded in satisfaction and turned to Old Yang and said, "Comrade Yang, it will be your turn to preside over the meeting. Explain clearly how you will divide the land, and then you can lead the whole village to measure the land and register the population.
It will be implemented specifically for each household and distributed according to population. Those who have good land will get some, and the bad land will be allocated by drawing lots. If anyone is dissatisfied, let him come to me and I will support you.
After the land is divided, we will organize militia training to prevent the fruits of our victory from being destroyed by those feudal bad elements.
Comrade Wang is a woman. She can organize the women in the village, establish a Women's Federation, give classes to these stupid country women, and reform their feudal ideas.
Especially Jia Zhang, who is lazy, greedy, and throws tantrums. This is a typical example and should be singled out for reform."
Lao Yang and Wang Xiu Lan were both stunned. We said nothing and just sat down for a while, and then everything was arranged for us.
It seems that we are all soldiers under your command and we obey your orders. But now it is the opposite of what we thought it was.
After Jia Youcai finished speaking, he stood up, pulled up Old Yang, who was still confused, and put him in the main seat.
