Chapter 15 Land Responsibility System
County Party Secretary Wang Weiliang and Secretary Chen Zi'ang had not yet rested when they returned to the county. Not long after, they convened a meeting of the county's leadership team.
A square rectangular wooden table was placed in the county party committee meeting room, and chairs painted with red paint were placed on both sides of the wooden table. At this time, almost all the leadership teams in the county gathered together to prepare to convene a meeting initiated by Wang Weiliang, secretary of the county party committee.
"Comrades, do you know why I am so anxious to call you all over for this meeting?" Wang Weiliang said strongly.
The county leadership team was deeply confused. Everyone stared at the county party secretary Wang Weiliang with their round eyes, and none of them made a sound.
County Party Secretary Wang Weiliang continued: "I went to various townships in the county today to inspect it. They all said that hearing is false and seeing is true. The towns and villages I inspected today all gave me a welcome meeting with great fanfare. Although it is the support and love of the people from a certain perspective, these are not what I really want to see. What I really want to see is how their situation is going? Have you become a model village and a Fengshou village as the township says? But I only saw the truth of all this in Zhangjia Village, Qilong Town."
"Today, Xiao Chen accompanied me to inspect various townships. I believe he has a lot of feelings, so I asked him to tell us what we saw and heard during this inspection," said Wang Weiliang.
"This time I accompanied Secretary Wang to inspect the model villages mentioned in almost all townships in the county. Fengshou Village. At first, the model villages in several townships I saw were perfunctory to avoid our sight. Until we arrived at Zhangjia Village, Qilong Town, Secretary Wang and I truly saw the most real side of their lives, such as...
"The story is what Xiao Chen said just now. This examination was also a study. I deeply learned the wisdom of the working people. Among them, the most worthy of thinking about, a young man named Zhang Fugui said. Do you all know what he said? He used the simplest language to tell me the greatest truth."
"We all know that the situation in various townships has not been very good in recent years. Does anyone know why this situation is not good? In the final analysis, it is a problem of land. The province has also given instructions on this issue, requiring our lower-level leading cadres to learn to adapt to local conditions and the times. I also want to seek everyone's opinions on what should we do to solve the current people's feeding problem and the most basic guarantee problem," Wang Weiliang said sternly.
After the county party secretary Wang Weiliang finished speaking, the county leadership team became silent. No one dared to say anything, nor did he know what to say. You looked at me and I watched you sit on the red painted chair motionlessly.
Seeing that no one spoke, Wang Weiliang continued: "I think the land problem of farmers should be solved by farmers themselves. In recent years, we have been through bumpy roads for several years. However, as the county leadership team, we should care more about whether the situation of the people at the bottom is good, whether they all have enough food and wear warm clothes. If you can't even understand these problems, then what do you have to do with us?"
When sitting in the office, I think everyone can sit and sit, but can sitting in the office make the people's situation better? I think it is impossible. If we want the people's situation to live well, our leadership teams should all go to the bottom to experience life, feel what is scarce for the people at the bottom and their lifestyle.
Although the young man named Zhang Fugui was ignorant and could not recognize any of the big words, he could come up with a good way to let the villagers live a good life. I think these are all worth learning from. It is not that our county leadership team can solve many problems by being educated. In the final analysis, we must start from reality and then go to the masses.
Therefore, I decided to let all townships and villages in the county implement a land contract responsibility system, so as to attribute the land to the people and let the people develop on their own. I believe that within two years, the people's situation will definitely be better than what they are now.
After Wang Weiliang finished speaking, the county leadership teams present were whispering, thinking that it was somewhat inappropriate to distribute the land to the people, and what if there was a dispute during the distribution of land!
Seeing that these leadership teams in the county were hesitant, Wang Weiliang said firmly: "I will bear all the consequences of this decision. As long as the people of various townships can eat and wear warm clothes, I will be happy even if I don't sit in the county party secretary."
After Wang Weiliang finished speaking, the county leadership team stopped talking and cleaned up the small notebook he placed on the wooden table, stood up and walked out of the conference room.
A few days after the meeting, all townships and villages in the county received documents issued by the county. The general content of the document was to implement a responsibility system for land and return the land to farmers.
After hearing the good news, the farmers in every township and village smiled happily, some jumped up excitedly, some opened the door excitedly, and ran to the land with a smile from the door, grabbed a handful of soil from the land and put it next to their noses and smelled it. The familiar and wonderful fragrance of soil fascinated them all.
Zhang Fugui, a family member of Zhangjia Village, Qilong Town, also received the good news that the county issued a document. The family happily took out the rice that had been harvested this year, put a large bowl of rice grains in a bowl and put it in a pot. The water ignites the firewood and cooked the rice. The boiling water slowly cooked the rice grains and emitted a burst of fragrance. This fragrance drifted away in Zhang Youcai's earthen tiled house.
After receiving the red-headed document from the county, Zhang Tianyou felt that he was a little old and a little overwhelmed. The child Fugui dared to lead the villagers to live a good life first, which was something that Zhang Tianyou could not do. Therefore, he decided to hand over the village chief's position to Fugui and let Fugui lead the villagers to live a good life.
He walked out of the house step by step with a stick and passed every household in the village step by step. Along the way, he saw the villagers in the village smiling, and even the dog raised by Zhang Dazhuang in the village was shaking his tail and sticking his tongue out.
When he arrived at Zhang Youcai's door, he saw Zhang Youcai sitting alone in the sunlight, smoking a dry cigarette on the stone knot at the door of his house. He shouted to Zhang Youcai, "Youcai, you are so free and comfortable this day! Sitting on the stone knot at the door of his house, smoking a dry cigarette alone leisurely, he is quite good at enjoying it!"
After seeing the village chief Zhang Tianyou, Zhang Youcai stood up and shook his clothes on his body. He smiled and said to Zhang Tianyou: "The village chief is joking. Youcai is afraid that you will smoke the two rich babies at home, so he went to the stone knot outside the house to smoke dry tobacco. After experiencing the smoking appetite, you can also bask in the sun."
"Talented! Is wealthy and noble at home?" Zhang Tianyou asked.
"Here! Fugui is cooking big white rice at home! I wonder what the village chief is looking for Fugui!" Zhang Youcai said in confusion.
"You are talented! Let's talk about it in the house! You can also see the two big fat boys Fugui, don't say that I have never seen these two babies since they were born. I also let me see the two big fat boys Fugui," Zhang Tianyou said with a smile.
Zhang Youcai packed up his cigarette and accompanied Zhang Tianyou into the house. The air in the house emitted a scent of rice. Li Jianmei, a woman, sat on the bed and hugged Shaoan who was hungry with one hand, and stroked Shaoping lying on the bed with the other hand. Shaoping opened his round eyes and looked at Li Jianmei with his fingers in his mouth. Fugui was squatting by the stove alone to add some firewood to the stove.
Fugui saw the village chief Zhang Tianyou walking in with his father Zhang Youcai at the first time, and then stood up and greeted the village chief Zhang Tianyou with a smile. Fugui had few wooden benches at home, and usually they would squat in the corner of the wall at will, but suddenly a guest came from home and he was treated to him on the wooden bench.
"Uncle Tianyou, are there any urgent matters at home when you are always there? It's inconvenient for you to walk around. If you have something, please come over and say it. Wouldn't it be better for me to go there?" Zhang Fugui said.
"Wealthy! Uncle Tianyou, I am old, but it's okay to take a few steps with this body. I just come and see you two fat boys. I'm so happy!" Zhang Tianyou said with a smile.
Fugui shouted into the inner room, "Jianmei, Uncle Tianyou is here, please clean up the baby, I will accompany Uncle Tianyou to see the baby." Li Jianmei responded after hearing this.
Zhang Tianyou followed Fugui into the inner room and saw Li Jianmei sitting aside and stroking the two dolls lying on the bed with two hands. He walked forward and gently touched the faces of the two dolls with his hands, and then said happily: "The skin of these two dolls is so delicate, just like when our Jianguo family was a child."
When Zhang Tianyou mentioned his son Zhang Jianguo, tears came out of his eyes. Fugui saw Zhang Tianyou crying, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Tianyou, what's wrong with you? Is anyone bullying you? Tell me, I'll go and hammer him. Although Jianguo is not at home, I will definitely take good care of you for Jianguo."
Zhang Tianyou wiped his tears with his sleeves, sobbed and said, "Wealthy! No one bullied me, but when I saw the two dolls on your bed, my uncle remembered Jianguo, so I couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable."
"Uncle Tianyou, although Jianguo is not at home, Fugui has been having a good time with Jianguo since he was a child. He thinks of me any delicious food and fun things in Jianguo. Now Jianguo is not at home. If there is anything you need at home, you can only say to me. Fugui promises to do it for you properly," Zhang Fugui said with a smile.
"Wealthy! Uncle knows that you are a good child. Uncle is old and old. Jianguo, the child, may be able to come back when. My eldest son Jianjun is crazy and there is nothing to rely on at home now, but the basic life can still be maintained. Uncle comes this time to give you the position of village chief," said Zhang Tianyou.
Zhang Fugui was a little surprised after hearing this. Even Zhang Youcai, who was standing beside him, was shocked. Zhang Fugui smiled and said, "Uncle Tianyou, you have done a good job in this village chief, why should I leave it to me? Besides, Fugui is not competent!"
"Fugui! Didn't you just say that you would help me if you have any difficulties? Why didn't you keep your word at once?" Zhang Tianyou said.
