Soon, two strangers came to the village. One of them was a woman in her thirties. She had a medium build, a chubby white face, and thick black hair. Her name was Liu Kaiming. There was also a man in his mid-twenties. They were sent by the district to carry out land reform. After entering the village, they went to the streets every day to publicize the policy and understand the situation. The villagers went from house to house to give them food.
One night, after eating at Ah Hui's house, she saw that Ah Hui's parents were honest farmers, so she started chatting with her parents.
"How many people are there in your family?" Team Leader Liu Kaiming asked.
" They're all here, the four of them." Her mother pointed at Ah Hui and her brother, Ah Wu, who were standing under the house. Then, he added,"Our grandma is in the room in front."
"How was it? Did you go to the meeting yesterday?”
"Yes."
"Do you have any grudges in your family?"
" No," his father said after some thought.
In Ah Hui's family, her grandmother had been a beggar since she was young, and her father had suffered a lot in his life. They were all outside, so he really had no enmity with the people in the village. However, after a few meetings, her mother knew that since the working group had entered the village and their target was the rich, there was nothing wrong with their own family. Could the working group say that there was a problem with their class standpoint?" There's one thing. It's not exactly a grudge, but we feel a little wronged."
" What's the matter?" The team leader asked. She sat down on the brick bed and seemed to be very serious." Tell me!"”
" After last autumn," his mother said," our Ah Hui and his brother came back from collecting firewood and digging bean roots in the northwest of the village. The two brothers walked in front of the large garden in the north yard of Changlan's house. They thought they were home. It was quite tiring to carry the basket. They should rest for a while. The elder brother put the basket on the edge of Changlan's garden to rest and play against the fence. After a while, Changlan came out of the house. When she saw two children playing by his garden with a basket full of firewood, she was tempted and said that the firewood was stolen from his garden. The two children said,"We picked it up from the ground. How can we say that we stole it?" Changlan was very unreasonable. He didn't even look at how the children had gotten into his yard since it was locked. He didn't even check if there was any firewood in his yard. The children had picked up bean roots. He didn't have any in his yard. He insisted that they had stolen it and asked him to put it down. He looked very rough.
The children said," You said it was stolen. Go to the garden and take a look. What firewood is missing in your garden?"
Changlan really unlocked the door and went into the garden to take a look. The children thought about it. If Changlan insisted that it was stolen, they wouldn't be able to go home! Seeing that his lock was still hanging on the door, she closed the garden door and locked the lock. Then, she carried the basket and ran home. Changlan was jumping around in the garden and cursing, but she couldn't come out.
When they returned home, the two brothers poured out the firewood. I was very happy when I saw that the basket was full. I said," Take a break and go play. Don't take too long. Come back for dinner." The eldest son said,"The patriarch said that the firewood was stolen from his garden."
"What?" Stolen from his garden? He picked them up every day, but they were all stolen. Did he have any bean roots in his garden? After a pause, I said,"Maybe he's just messing with you.”
The children said," No, he's quite unreasonable. He insists that we let him go."
I said," He doesn't care. We picked them up anyway. What's there to be afraid of?”
As we were talking, a child ran into the yard and shouted, The Changlan family is looking for you." As he shouted, he turned around to look at the door. A large group of people entered the room. Changlan's wife was walking in front, followed by a group of children. As soon as they entered the courtyard, the Changlan family started quarreling." That's too outrageous. Stealing firewood in broad daylight. He's too bold. How can there be such a naughty child?" He looked aggressive.
I believed that my children would not steal. I was very calm and calm. When they came up to me, I said," Don't be noisy. It's just some firewood. Look, which one was stolen from your garden?"
Although Changlan's family was angry, they didn't see the basket of bean roots. When they heard that Changlan had stolen their firewood, they ran over. They didn't know that the basket was. He looked at Changlan, meaning to tell her to tell him. At this moment, Changlan saw that the basket full of bean roots had not been poured out and said, Just this basket."
I smiled and said,"We pick them up every day. The bean roots in the yard are all stolen from your garden?" Who in your family picks up bean roots? Do you have bean roots in your garden? Besides, if there are bean roots in your garden, when did you pick them up? Who picked them up? Can't you see that this basket of bean roots is freshly plucked?
The Changlan clan was speechless from the question, and the surrounding crowd burst into laughter. The Changlan family thought for a long time before saying,"No one picked it up. My auntie's children picked it up."
"Who picked it up from your aunt's children? When did you pick it up? Why did your auntie's child pick it up and put it in your garden?
The Changlan Clan knew that they were in the wrong. Their voices grew softer and softer as they finally retreated.
Team Leader Liu Kaiming listened to his mother's introduction very carefully. He listened while writing in his notebook. She knew that this was not a grudge, and there was no problem that needed to be solved. However, these were the heartfelt words of the masses. Regardless of their value, it proved that the land reform task force was working for the masses and listening to their opinions.
" Aiya, look at what I'm talking about." His mother stopped talking and looked at Team Leader Liu Kaiming and the team member's faces. She smiled embarrassedly.
"You're right. If you have any problems in the future, look for me. In the future, the poor will stand up. We can't be bullied anymore. If there's a chance, let's chat again.”Team Leader Liu said as he walked down the street.
