Land reform was a rural revolution led by the Chinese government. Not long after the land reform team entered the village, they first organized the poor farmers in the village and established the poor association. Zhang Qingtong was elected as the director of the Poor People's Association.

Once the land reform team entered the village, the village office that was originally in charge of the rural work was automatically abolished. Xia Changning, the former director of the village office, and the director of the women's department were no longer in charge. The land reform task force was planning to set up a poverty association among the masses. They found that among the people who were not from the big families in Xia Village, there were two people who had been more active since they entered the village. Zhang Xi was at the east end and Xia Fu was at the west end. They were eloquent and close to the work team. They were very active. However, they did not have a good foundation among the masses. If they were to be directors, the masses would react. There were also two other people. One was Zhang Qingguo, and the other was Zhang Qingtong. They were biological uncles and brothers, and their families were very poor. Especially Zhang Qingtong, who had asked for food from his mother when he was young. In terms of poverty, he was the poorest in the village, and he was the leader of the poor. But he couldn't read, and he had a stutter, so it was difficult for him to speak. Zhang Qingguo should be the most suitable. He had studied for two years and was good at speaking and doing things. The land reform task force gathered some representatives of the poor to discuss. Zhang Xi and Xia Fu disagreed with Zhang Qingguo and agreed with Zhang Qingtong. The task force leader Liu Kaiming knew that Zhang Qingguo was smart, but land reform was a job that would take a while. Zhang Qingtong was not capable, but with the task force, Xia Fu, Zhang Xi, and other active members, it would not be a problem to complete the land reform task, so he agreed. In this way, Zhang Qingtong became the director of the Xia Zhuang Association for the Poor. The commoners understood that it was easy to order around.

Xia Fu, Zhang Xi, Xia Changfeng, Xia Changjiang, and Qin Yuzhen were the five members of the association. Xia Changfeng was also the leader of the poor peasant security team.

Soon, the crowd was mobilized. One day, Si Ge Zhuang went to the market. Seven or eight people from the four gates and the village went to the market. On the way, when they talked about the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army, Men Si said,""Look at the Central Army. Their clothes and guns are really better than the Eighth Route Army.”Someone heard this and came back to tell the poor association. The poor association said,"These words are to boost the morale of the Central Army and diminish the prestige of the Eighth Route Army.”She said she was looking for him. Men Si was quite afraid. Later, someone suggested that he treat the entire village to a meal, and then it would be fine.

Although Door Four was furious, he could not afford to offend the poor association, so he could only do as he was told. They used the money to buy meat and vegetables. Some of the chefs in the village knew how to cook. At noon, all the villagers, men, women, old and young, gathered at the four families for lunch. From the south to the north, tables were set up in every room. The gathering of hundreds of people was the largest meal in the history of Xia Manor. It was very lively. Ah Hui went with her mother. In the east main room on the back floor, there were two tables on the brick bed. The adults and children sat around to eat. A meal of meat and a cabbage stew. There was more meat and more vegetables. People were very happy to eat and drink for free. After eating, she went home. However, many people didn't know why they were eating this meal. After that, he held another battle meeting. In the school, some people were angry and attacked. They couldn't control the situation and killed the rich man Xia Changren. No one said that it was right or wrong for the mass movement. They just transferred the team leader away. Before the fight, someone had suggested that Chang Ren go to the city to hide from the wind, but he didn't listen. He thought that although he was considered a rich man in the village, he had never done anything bad. Since the Anti-Japanese War, Teng Fangzi had helped a lot to raise food and pay for the Eighth Route Army. In recent years, the supply department of the Eighth Route Army had moved to his house, taking up almost half of the yard, machines and equipment, and hundreds of people working. Clothes, shoes, hats, guns, and ammunition were sent to the front line from here…" The Eighth Route Army understands me. Believe me, they won't…" He did not expect the final outcome. In fact, he did not know that those who knew him had all gone south with the army. In comparison, Gate Four spent some money and treated the entire village to a meal. He didn't get beaten up, so it was considered balanced. He was in his forties or fifties and died of illness a few years after the land reform. He was a very hardworking and capable person. Although the family hired long-term workers, he never abandoned his work. In spring and summer, he never left his hoe. The way he held the hoe was also very special. He did not carry it on his shoulder, but carried it diagonally behind his back. He walked very fast and was known as a "runner". One year, he went to the market to buy green beans. They cost 15 cents per catty, but he didn't buy them because he thought they were too expensive. When he came back, he went to Wulituo and bought it. From home to Luo City, and from Luo City to Wulituo, it was nearly 180 miles back and forth. They returned before it was dark.

After the team was formed, the first thing to do was to divide the composition.

According to the land, houses, and employees, the village composition is divided as follows:

There were four landlord households: Xia Changren, Men Si, Xia Changning and Xia Zongying.

There were three rich peasants: Xia Changxin, Xia Zongguo and Zhang Qingyu.

The rest were a small number of upper-middle peasants and a large number of poor and lower-middle peasants.

Ah Hui's family was designated as lower-middle farmers. According to his family's financial situation, he had no cars, no livestock, and no house. He should be classified as a poor farmer. However, his family had recently bought five acres of land, which was not a small amount. It proved that his financial situation was above average.

His mother was not very happy." Our family is a poor farmer. Why can't we be poor farmers?" Go and talk to them!"

His father said," What's there to look for? What's so good about being a poor farmer? Speaking of which, I don't think it's worth it to be poor. It's better to be a lower-middle-class farmer."”

"It's just nice to hear. Rich peasant sounds nice, so you can be a rich peasant!”

"Don't just listen to the distribution of things. I don't believe that you'll give them away just because they belong to you? I don't want other people's things, so I feel at ease. In the future, if I really divide other people's things, they might want it back at some time. How can there be a pie in the sky?"

The Xia manor's landowners and rich peasants were all rich men who made their fortunes from the land. If they had money, they would buy land, not only in the village, but also in the outside village. Therefore, compared to the surrounding villages, Xia Village had the most land. There was a large area in the big cellar in the south, which was in the southwest of Wangzhuang and bordering Xiaozhuanggou Mansion. Zhuangxi West Tuoshang and Xizhangzhuang border; The south and east of Jin Village were also the lands of Xia Village. To the north, the goose land on the board is in the Xili of Jiazhuang Village. To the east, it crossed the Hetao Dongtuo and bordered Shigezhuang by Hengdao. The Mi Family Tomb in the southeast of the river bordered the Dacui Village. Seventy mu of land in Nanhetao is adjacent to Goufu. On top of the official's house in Xili Village, there was a large area of land in the kiln pit in the east of the river, which was also the land of Xia Village. There was a lot of land in Xia Manor, and it was not unrelated to the people who bought the land back then.

The land was divided equally according to six mu per person. Ah Hui's family of four originally only had five acres of land. Adding on the five acres of green crops, they had a net income of fourteen acres, making a total of twenty-four acres. Another half of Grandma's land was given to Ah Hui's family to plant. These plots were five acres on the south mound of the river east, five acres on the 70 acres in the river bend, five acres on Zhuangxili Avenue, five acres on Jinzhuang Avenue, three acres on the short roll, and four acres on Lu Lao's grave.

He had been fooled by the five Mu of land he had bought first. If you don't buy it, you can share it. However, his father did not care. He always felt that the land he bought was safe to cultivate.

It was the most lively to divide things. The rich man's things were placed on the street. Clothes, cabinets, furniture, carts, cattle, and so on were arranged in different categories, just like a big collection. The children ran around the streets curiously. All kinds of things made their eyes blur.

The " poor people " who were distributing things gathered under the platform of the four houses, listening attentively to Xia Changjiang calling his name on the platform. Whoever was called, they would go to the stage and take a slip. On the slip was written the name and quantity of the things that they should share. Then, they could take the slip and get the things.

Some were given cows, some were given carts, and second uncle Zhang Qingfeng was given a donkey. His father had been making trouble for a few days, but he didn't get any decent things back. He only got back a small box that was used by the landlord to store his pocket money. It was made of wood and painted red. It was very exquisite. His father was quite satisfied with this item. It seemed that sharing the money box was equivalent to sharing the God of Fortune with his family.

Finally, it was time to split the houses. In the old society, farmers had a hard time. Many poor and lower-middle-class farmers did not have a house to live in. Therefore, the distribution of houses was of great concern. It started to get a little overheated, and the landlord was kicked out of the house and their houses were all divided. Later, the higher-ups issued a policy to give them a place to stay. The village corrected the mistakes of the past, which formed the following situation:

In the south courtyard of Xia Changren's house, there were four gatehouses from north to south. Xia Changfeng had half of them in the west and Zhang Qingtong had half in the east. Three rooms in the west wing room in front of the gatehouse belonged to Xia Changfeng. On the first floor in the south, there were three rooms in the main room. Xia Changfeng had half of them in the west and Zhang Qingtong had half in the east. There were three rooms in the east and west wing room in front of the main room. The east wing room was given to Zhang Qingtong, and the west wing room was given to Xia Yanfu and Junming. There were four rooms in the main room on the second floor in the south. The west half was given to Xia Changlu, and the east half was given to Xia Yanfeng. There were three rooms in the south, east and west wing rooms to the south gate of the main room, and the east half was given to Xia Yanfeng. The western half was given to Xia Changlu.

There are four houses in the north courtyard, counting from south to north. The gatehouse of the main courtyard was burned down. The three rooms in the east were given to Old Zhang Guai, and the three rooms in the west were given to Xia Changrong. There were four rooms in the main room to the north, which were reserved for Men Four and Ma Laowu's brothers. Three rooms in the west wing room of the main room were reserved for Men Four, and three rooms in the east were reserved for Ma Laowu. Going up the stairs, the east half of the four main rooms was given to Zhang Qingdi, and the west half was given to Xia Junfeng. Further behind, there were three rooms on the east and west sides. The east side was given to Zhang Qingdi, and the three rooms on the west side were left to the mute girl's house. The west courtyard of the four houses was an outer house with two main rooms in front and back, and three wing rooms in the middle. The main room and the side rooms in the north were left for Changjun's family to live in, while the main room in the south and the three side rooms in front were given to Xia Junshan. Four of the gatehouses on the platform in the street had been burned down, two on the west belonged to Xia Junshan, two on the west belonged to Zhang San and Zhang Qingwang, and the four on the east, including the road roller, had been given to someone else.

The eastern half of Shopkeeper Xian's entire courtyard belonged to Zongshi Xia, who was designated as a middle-class farmer. The latter half of Shopkeeper Xian's western half was left to Shopkeeper Xian, while the front half was given to the four old ladies.

There were six main rooms and nine side rooms in Xia Zongguo's courtyard. Only Zhang Qingtang was moved into the courtyard.

There were six main rooms on two floors in the Ying Family's courtyard. There were six side rooms in front of each main room. The three main rooms and side rooms in the south were reserved for Elder Ying and Chang 'an. The west half of the north was given to Xia Fu, and the east half was given to Xia Changmu. There was an outer house in the west. Xia Fu said that he wanted the house in the outer house. His brother-in-law was preparing to move over from outside the pass. If he said that he wanted it, who would dare to say no? So, he gave it to him. Land reform, distribution of things, someone had taken advantage of it. Xia Fu's eldest brother, Xia Lu, got the most things. He got a quarter of the things in the Ren family's courtyard. However, after the land reform, he did not work at all. If he had no money to spend, he would demolish the houses. He started from the south gate. After demolishing, he would buy wine and meat. When the money was spent, he would demolish the houses. When the houses were all demolished and there was nothing left to demolish, he died.
