It is not easy to cultivate the collective land. There are many honest people who only know how to work hard and are unwilling to put in the effort and just want to fill in the gaps.
It's like an acre of wheat. If you plant it yourself, it won't take two hours, but if the villagers plant it together, the work points you get for one day are the same as they are for two days.
Who would be willing to put in more effort? The land can be planted in a few hours, but people can take two or three days to plant it.
Now that the crops are distributed among households, the food you grow with hard work belongs to you. I guess no one will save their energy anymore.
Su Zhen was so excited that she just put food into Tian Yuzhu's bowl. "Yuzhu, you see, as long as you are home, good things will definitely happen. You are really the lucky star of our Shi family."
"Sister-in-law, you are also learning to talk like grandma." Tian Yuzhu said coquettishly.
The whole family couldn't help but laugh.
The meeting was to start in half an hour, so everyone quickly finished their meal and rushed to the commune to gather.
The old lady hadn't heard such good news for a long time, so she had to join in the fun.
Su Zhen and Shi Weimin supported her on each side, while Chengcheng and Doudou, the two little ones, were holding the candle.
Tian Yuzhu was holding Shi Zhentang's hand, and the whole family was worried that she would not know how to walk.
Tian Yuzhu waited until her family had left before whispering to Shi Zhentang, "I don't know what will happen tonight. I'm very worried..."
"It's okay, I'll keep an eye on it." Shi Zhentang had already thought of a solution.
If what the daughter-in-law foresaw happens tonight, it would be a good opportunity to catch the evil man hiding in the dark.
Only after understanding this matter, the daughter-in-law will not be worried all day long.
When the family arrived at the commune, Shi Weiqiang followed.
Shi De was worried about leaving Shi Xiaoli alone at home, so he could only stay in the house and watch over her.
At this moment, everyone in the Shi family found a place to stand on the side of the yard, and then Zhao Xiaoman and the others came to talk to Tian Yuzhu.
The female educated youth wore the clothes they made, and each of them was dressed beautifully.
Su Zhen and the old lady were very happy to see this. Thinking that the clothes were made by themselves, they felt a sense of accomplishment and were full of pride.
After chatting for a few minutes, the female educated youth went off to do their work, and Zhao Xiaoman stayed to chat for a few minutes.
After having a meal at Old Shi's house that day, she, with her stubborn personality, had become very familiar with the old lady and Su Zhen. She would always call them grandma and sister-in-law. Those who didn't know her would think they were really her relatives.
Meanwhile, Shi Zhentang went to find Kong Xingbai and immediately made his point clear: "We heard wolves howling in the mountains a few days ago. We can't let our guard down. Furthermore, there are still scattered enemy spies hiding in the mountains. I'm worried they might take advantage of the villagers staying in the commune and come down. You need to send people to patrol everywhere, especially around the venue."
Kong Xingbai had long heard about Shi Zhentang's capture of a group of enemy spies in Xinyi Town. He had an inexplicable admiration for Shi Zhentang, so he readily agreed: "Don't worry, Captain Shi. I'll send people to patrol everywhere."
Shi Zhentang nodded slightly: "I'll go with you."
He didn't trust anyone to take charge of this matter, so he just asked the members of the coordination committee to go out, just to have more people and more eyes.
Kong Xingbai naturally had no right to refuse him, so he could only ask: "Then... can you use this only gunpowder gun?"
"I don't need that." Ordinary enemy spies could not force him to draw his gun. Shi Zhentang was very confident in his fighting ability. After he finished speaking, he left the venue and went to the outside to look around.
Kong Xingbai did not delay and asked the team members to gather and assign tasks.
Tian Yuzhu, standing in the crowd, saw Shi Zhentang leave the commune yard, and then the members of the mediation team also set off. She breathed a sigh of relief.
With Shi Zhentang around, she felt a little relieved, but those cruel scenes still lingered in her mind, so she couldn't relax unless this matter was completely resolved.
"Sister Yuzhu."
Zhao Xiaoman, who had left, suddenly came back and brought her a chair: "Hurry up and sit down, don't stand."
Tian Yuzhu agreed and took a chair for the old lady to sit on.
The old lady insisted on giving her her seat. The grandmother and granddaughter pushed and shoved for a while, but finally Zhao Xiaoman moved another chair over and they both sat down.
At this time, the village party secretary had already started speaking. The general content was the same as what Tian Wang from Tianjia Village said. The topic was about distributing property to households.
But the villagers didn’t know what this meant, so the village party secretary had no choice but to explain them patiently.
He then gave the order: "Start measuring the land tomorrow, and then we'll divide it up."
As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers asked questions one after another: "Secretary, who did you ask to measure the land? Is the measurement accurate?"
"That is, even if the land is measured and divided, is it fair?"
"Secretary, can we choose which piece of land we want?"
"Can I participate in the land distribution?"
The village Party Secretary pressed his hand and said, "I know everyone is worried about the poor quality of their land and the small amount of land they were allocated. Don't worry about that, because the people who measured the land are all Party members and cadres, including Shi Zhentang of the People's Liberation Army. Soldiers never lie. Even if you don't believe me, you should at least believe Zhentang, right?"
After hearing this, everyone murmured for a while: "We definitely believe the soldiers."
"Then do as you say."
"Yes, I believe in Zhentang too."
Tian Yuzhu felt a little overwhelmed after hearing this. Measuring and dividing the land was a thankless job.
Now she finally understood why the village party secretary had specifically asked the couple to come to the meeting.
Even the old lady sitting next to her gave her a wry smile: "This is going to be hard for Zhentang."
Tian Yuzhu sighed helplessly. The villagers were so unforgiving about trivial matters that she had to endure it.
At the same time, Shi Zhentang was searching carefully outside.
Nothing suspicious was seen. Everyone was gathered in the commune yard for a meeting late at night, and there was not a single person in sight.
Could it be that the fire came from inside the commune?
He quickly told Kong Xingbai, "I'll go back to the courtyard and take a look. I'll leave the perimeter to you."
After entering the commune yard, Shi Zhentang saw the heads of the villagers in black. He looked around, found his family, and gave Tian Yuzhu a wink.
Implying to her that everything was normal outside and the arsonist had not been found.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the crowd: "Hey, uncle, you stepped on my foot." "Uncle, why did you push me?"
Lu Fugui bumped into and stumbled around in the crowd, mumbling something. Some people in the village made fun of him, and laughter could be heard from the crowd from time to time.
The village party secretary couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Stop making trouble. Who will send Old Lu back home?"
No one said anything. They had finally come together for the fun and no one wanted to leave early.
Besides, the land is related to the livelihood of the whole family, and everyone wants to hear it more clearly.
The village party secretary had no choice but to call out names directly: "You guys, send Old Lu back home."
There were a few strong young men standing in a group, and the village party secretary pointed at them...
