After the villagers left after eating and drinking, only Zhang Youcai and his son Fugui's daughter-in-law Jianmei were left in the whole family. Zhang Youcai knew that today was a happy day for his son Fugui. Apart from one main hall, there was only one side house left in the family. Before Fugui got married, Zhang Youcai would still squeeze into his son Fugui in the side house, but now his son Fugui has got married, so he dare not squeeze with his son anymore.

"Fugui, Jianmei, you got married today, and Dad has nothing to give to you. When the future is better, Dad will make up for you. In addition, Dad plans to go to your Uncle Renyi's house tonight, so don't worry about me, and take a break early!" Zhang Youcai said in front of his son and daughter-in-law.

After Zhang Youcai finished speaking, he shook his body and was about to stand up and walk out the door. His daughter-in-law Li Jianmei called him, "Dad, where are you going? This is your home, you don't have to go anywhere. Although I know that there is only a side room in the house that can be lived in, I don't want you to live in other people's houses, so others will laugh at me, saying that I will drive you out as soon as I get married."

Zhang Youcai turned around and said to Jianmei: "Jianmei, Dad knows that you are filial, but there is only a side room at home to live in. Today is a happy day for you and Fugui. It is not suitable for Dad to stay at home, and Dad is also counting on you to give birth to a fat boy for Dad."

"Dad, I am also a native of the village, and there is nothing to pay attention to. We still have a main hall. From now on, you can sleep in the side room. I and Fugui can just work on the floor in the main hall," Li Jianmei said firmly to Zhang Youcai.

As he said that, Li Jianmei and Fugui carried a quilt from the side room, walked to the main hall, laying a layer of straw mat on the floor of the main hall and spreading it with a thin blanket on it, and finally putting the quilt on it neatly.

When Zhang Youcai saw his daughter-in-law Li Jianmei so filial, tears rolled down from time to time. Zhang Youcai is old and his snot always flows out with the tears when he cries. He wiped his tears and snot with his hands, walked to the main hall and said to his daughter-in-law Li Jianmei: "Jianmei, today is a happy day for you and Fugui. Let this side room be for you to sleep! Just sleep in the main hall."

After Zhang Youcai finished speaking, his daughter-in-law Li Jianmei did not react and continued to lay the floor. Zhang Youcai knew that his children were filial and did not want to let himself sleep in the main room. He turned around and said, "Jianmei, let's do it! Tonight you and Fugui will sleep in the side room. Tomorrow you will move to the main room to build the floor. Let me build the floor in the main room today! Otherwise, my father's heart would be dissatisfied."

After several persuasions by Zhang Youcai, his daughter-in-law Li Jianmei finally agreed to what she said and slept with her son Fugui in the side room, so Zhang Youcai became happy.

At night, there were sparkling stars in the sky, and the wind was blowing gently. Zhang Youcai slept soundly in the side room, whirling from time to time, while Zhang Fugui and his wife Li Jianmei were lying on the bed in the side room.

Fugui was a little scared when he first met a woman at close range. He only knew that he was so hot that he couldn't sleep. Li Jianmei turned around and said in Fugui's ears, "Fugui, can't you sleep? What's wrong?"

Fugui responded, "Jianmei, my body feels hot. Maybe it's because I have too much cover. Can you see if I can take the quilt off and sleep better?"

Jianmei knew why Fugui was so hot, but she was always a woman, a little shy and embarrassed to say those words from her mouth, so she moved the quilt aside as Fugui said.

Fugui thought that he would have a better sleep after removing the quilt, but his body was still hot and he felt so uncomfortable that he tossed and turned again.

After all, Fugui has no mother since he was a child. Although he has seen other people marry, he has no idea about the wedding night.

Jianmei watched Fugui toss and turns, and couldn't sleep, so she hugged Fugui tightly. Fugui stopped suddenly, but what followed was the joy of fish and water.

In the past few days after the marriage, Fugui seemed to understand what a wedding candle was. He became addicted to smoking a dry tobacco. He could not wait to have a happy life with his wife every night, and sing and singing every night.

Time passed day by day, and Jianmei became pregnant just two months after Fugui got married, which made Zhang Youcai's family happy. Every time Zhang Youcai and Fugui went to the fields to "work" and said happily: "Fugui wants to have a baby, and old man, I want to be a grandfather."

Da Zhuang, who was in the same production brigade, smiled and catered to Zhang Youcai and said, "Uncle Youcai, the rich and noble brothers are really good. There will be some movement so soon, but it is earlier than I did!"

After Dazhuang finished speaking, Zhang Youcai snored and spitted into his palm, patted his palm and said, "It's OK, you don't even look at whose species of wealth is. I, Zhang Youcai, must be OK."

Zhang Youcai's son Zhang Fugui stood not far from his father Zhang Youcai chatting with him, carrying a hoe and listening to what his father Zhang Youcai and Dazhuang said, smiling happily, and exerting his efforts to dig the ground and weed. He was very happy. When he thought that he was going to be a father, he waved his hoe even more and digging the ground, as if he had endless energy in his body.

But then Fugui began to worry. He would become a father in a few months, and his family was poor and could only barely maintain the food for him, his father Zhang Youcai, and his wife Li Jianmei. The family would soon have a baby, which would make him so worried.

Just as Fugui was sitting on the stone trunk outside his home, he suddenly thought of Jianguo. The words that Jianguo left him before he left were buzzing in his mind again.

At first he didn't dare to think too much or think deeply, but seeing his wife Li Jianmei's belly getting bigger and bigger, he became even more worried. Finally, he made up his mind to talk from house to house to see if he could get everyone's consent. After all, these things cannot be effective alone, otherwise if the news leaked, it would be no joke.

It was dark every day. He called all the people in the village who were "working" to Zhang Renyi's house at the entrance of the village, and found two people to take care of Renyi's house. He would take care of anything. He was going to tell these people in the village about the responsibility system that Jianguo was clamoring in the village.

"Fugui, is there something urgent to call us to Uncle Renyi's house?" Zhang Dazhuang said.

"Then what do you think I'm calling you all to Uncle Renyi's house today?" Zhang Fugui said.

The villagers looked at each other and didn't know what Zhang Fugui was going to say, so they shook their heads.

Seeing that none of them spoke, Zhang Fugui continued, "Everyone knows that our village is poor, and I don't know what's going on in this life. In recent years, we have been getting poorer and poorer. Even during the Chinese New Year, you can't make a few decent dishes. You all tell me what to do about this situation."

The villagers look at me, and I look at you, and I know in my heart: "Some people work in order to earn a few centimeters more, and the work is not done well, so the seedlings in the land cannot grow tall, so the harvest will naturally not be much."

"Fugui, from your tone, do you have any good ways to take us through a good situation?" Zhang Dazhuang asked anxiously.

Zhang Fugui said mysteriously: "I have a good way to let the villagers live a good life, but I am afraid that some of you will not have the courage to do it!"

Zhang Dazhuang patted his chest and said, "There is nothing I, Zhang Dazhuang, dare not do. As long as I can live a good life, I will definitely be brave."

When Zhang Fugui spit out three words "responsibility system" from his mouth, everyone became quiet. Even Dazhuang, who was very tough just now, instantly lowered his head and did not dare to speak, "What's wrong, what's wrong with this? Don't they all say that as long as they live a good life, they have the courage? Why are they all cowards?" Zhang Fugui said.

Just as Zhang Fugui was about to talk further, several villagers raised their heads and said to Fugui: "I have something to do in my family, so I'll leave first."

Before they could take a few steps, Zhang Fugui shouted: "Stop, come back, why run away? I won't eat you anymore. I just want to take everyone to live a good life."

"Think about it, if we implement a responsibility system for the public and divide the land, and the land is your own, then who else will not sell your strength? I think I have to run into my own fields even if I even scatter and pee!" Zhang Fugui continued.

"The truth is wealth and honor, but if it is discovered, it will be... Zhang Dazhuang said.

"Da Zhuang, you just patted your chest and said that you were brave, but why did you become timid all of a sudden? It's a good thing that your name is Da Zhuang. I think you'd better change your name in the future and call it a coward. If a man does something, he's mother-in-law and mother. How can he live a good life?" Fugui said angrily at Da Zhuang.

Zhang Dazhuang was speechless, and tilted his head and squatted in the corner. No one in the village dared to speak, for fear that if others heard the wrong words, they would go to the town to inform him after they heard it. That would be a tragic thing.

The man in the room suddenly became a bunch of little girls and didn't dare to speak. After a while, Dazhuang, who was squatting in the corner of the wall, stood up and said, "Fugui, we dare not do it, we are afraid that if there is a situation, then...

"If you want me to tell me what you are afraid of, there are only a few of us in the whole room, who will hear it? Besides, since we want to implement a responsibility system, everyone must write a name and a seal on the paper. As long as we don't say it ourselves, who can know! Do you think this is the case?" Zhang Fugui said.

"The truth is wealth and honor, but there are still ears in the partition. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of something!" Zhang Dazhuang said.

"As long as we don't go out, press the handprints on the name, go to "work" as usual every day, and pay enough of the public's grain during the autumn harvest, then isn't the rest of it all yours? Besides, if you still have any ideas, you can grow a little cabbage yourself in winter, and you can plant something in the free time in the field. Wouldn't the situation in this family be better?" Zhang Fugui said.

Listening to what Zhang Fugui said, all of them were moved, so they found a piece of paper at Renyi's house and asked Uncle Renyi to write some simple rules and regulations of the responsibility system at the top of the paper. Each of them wrote their own name on the paper, pressed their own blood-colored handprints on the name, and after writing the handprints, Zhang Fugui wrapped the paper and carefully handed it to Zhang Renyi.
