Chapter 305: Farmer Father and Son

Shenquan Township is located in the southwest corner of Lianhua Town. Jinggang Mountain is not far from here and is a relatively serious redification area. Naturally, Shenquan Township, which has seven villages, has also become a severely affected area for the Red Gate.

Although it is closer to Lianhua County, the defense power here is basically zero, with only a few wealthy families, organized servants, equipped with wooden sticks and long swords, and two rifles from the last century, which is really nothing to do with the word "power".

Shangwanli Dawan Village, this low terrain is named after the gentle slope next to it. There is a quiet and peaceful small village, with more than 300 families living in the village, three wealthy families, and the rest of the farmers' lives are also prosperous.

With sufficient precipitation, mild climate, and strong terrain, Dawan Village is really like a paradise, with a peaceful time of self-sufficiency.

The simple villages are covered with blue-brown mud bricks and tiles. The climate here is good, and agricultural production is also pleasant. You can even catch a few fish from time to time to help farmers improve their food.

Of course, these are life that only rich peasants in the village can enjoy. More than half of the villagers do not have such treatment. At least in the past, there was no such treatment.

The Chinese farmers in this era live at the bottom of society, and their hardship is enough to force any urban white-collar workers in the 21st century to become madmen. There is no hope or future, no human rights, no wealth, and struggle for life all day long.

It is because of this that Hongmen has room to grow. People with nothing may be numb, but in contrast, once they are incited by ambitious people, their madness is enough to tear the earth apart.

The original upper-class landlords in Shenquan Township turned into gray in this crazy tear. The quiet and peaceful Dawan Village is not as calm as it appears on the surface. The undercurrents below are surging, accumulating the power to destroy everything. This is the roar of the farmers, venting their resentment towards this unfair world.

Justice and fanaticism, in this case, became blurred, and the definition of good and evil became a erratic mist. Beyond black and white, gray became the main tone and swallowed all reason.

In Dawan Village, Shenquan Township, rice is planted in the paddy fields, and it is almost mature. The full grains are loaded with heavy hopes for farmers. A farmer's father and son are groping in the paddy fields, his face is a little sallow and thin, which is due to the long-term lack of sufficient food.

However, the clothes they were wearing were relatively new, and the materials were good, which was not affordable by ordinary farmers. The father and son smiled, and they thought they had lived happily recently. The farmer in front was younger, and his son was his son, and his hands kept exploring in the mud of the paddy fields, groping.

Li Tiegen continued to dig his son Li Changhai's position and even found a yellow eel about twenty-five centimeters long, which was a little darker than ordinary eels. His greasy body was slender and smooth, without any strength or key to grasping, he really couldn't catch such a little guy.

The fresh meat that is full of water makes people salivate, which is a rare delicacy. If I had caught such a good thing in the past, I would not be willing to eat it at all. I had to save it and sell it at the market.

Now it’s very different. Li Tiehe smiled and shouted: “Changhai, when we go back tonight, we will eat some eel porridge. Young people should replenish their blood and energy so that they can have the strength to do farm work.”

"Dad, I know, you should eat more. You are old and you need to make up for it. If you have hope for this day, I will point you to live a hundred years old." Li Changhai was also filial and said something that made his father happy.

Both of them were familiar with each other and started to grab the loach again. After a while, they put half a fish basket. The sun became more and more sunny, from the original slanted sun to the right angle, which means it was almost noon. Their wrinkled faces were roasted into sweet potatoes; their stomachs were also thudding.

Although he was only eighteen years old, Li Changhai also had wind and frost on his face. His skin was rough and his face turned black and yellow, and he looked like an elderly uncle. This was also the reason why farmers lived a difficult life. The wind and sun were all day long, and the speed of aging was amazing.

But now it is much better. Since I entered the village by the Red Gate, I led a rebel team and overthrew the mountains pressing on the farmers. The landlord's farm was smashed to pieces, and the wealth accumulated by generations was wiped out.

The Li family and his son were still recalling the situation at that time. The cellar at Wang Dahu's house was filled with countless fine wine and bacon, as well as mountains of grain cloth, as well as valuable silver and antique jewelry.

Among them, the higher value of things were taken away by the Hongmen Organization Department as funds. The remaining grain and cloth could be divided by the poor peasants in the village, and it was distributed in an organized manner, not a swarm of looting.

This is the wonderfulness of the Hongmen technique. Concentrating wealth and unifying it is not worthy, helping to deeply imprint the authority of Hongmen in the hearts of these farmers. Once a subconscious pressure and recognition are formed, the organization and mobilization in the future will be very relaxed.

After distributing the grain, reducing the rent, and obtaining their own land, most of the villagers in Dawan Village were determined to pursue Hongmen. They just rebelled, and there was land and hope, so who would still be worried about their heads?

What is really melancholy are those rich peasants who do not live a hard life. They are not beneficiaries after entering the village of Hongmen, but are still afraid of the revenge of the government army. Therefore, they are lukewarm and unhappy towards the propaganda leaders sent by Hongmen, which naturally becomes an eye-catching target, but Hongmen is not planning to clean up this group of people now.

It was noon, and the sun was getting louder and my stomach was empty. Li Tiehe greeted his son and said to go back to eat. Li Changhai also responded to the promise. He held shoes in one hand and a small bucket in the other and said, "They hoe the grains at noon, and we catch loaches at noon, and sweat dripped from the dry land; who knew that all the food on the plate was hard."

After saying proudly, Li Changhai walked in front.

"Changhai, I really can't tell, you can recite poems." Seeing his son's pride of words, Li Tie and his face were also smiling. Seeing that he was so ecstatic, he was so happy that he was so happy that he chanted it.

Hongmen has done a lot of work to win the support of farmers, including literacy education. Don’t think that farmers do not pay attention to knowledge. This is simply ignorance. In China in the agricultural society, the biggest idol of farmers is cultural people like scholars and scholars, and no era has changed.

But now, the instructor with red thoughts has become the new idol in the hearts of these peasant men.

Li Changhai, who was walking in front, suddenly said "ah", and the bucket took off his hand and his shoes fell to the ground. Li Tiehe, who was following closely behind, grabbed the bucket. But Li Changhai stepped back with all his might. If he hadn't been supported by his father, he would have fallen.

"I'm scared to death." Li Changhai patted his chest and said, "He was scared by a water snake crossing the ridge of the field in front of him. Li Tie and he was amused and crying. It's not his fault. Many people will be afraid of seeing these things suddenly.

In fact, Li Tiege is not afraid either. He was also afraid when he was young, and he was not afraid when he saw him too much. Moreover, he lived here all year round and knew that this kind of snake generally would not bite people, and it was not a poisonous snake itself.

"Dad, I'll talk to my mother first." Under the gaze of Li Tie and lovingly, Li Changhai, who had just finished this sentence, ran to the farmhouse not far away. The family was not well off, and the tiles on the roof had not been replaced for many years, and there was no energy to sort them out. The shabby cracks were growing all kinds of strange plants.

Before the person could get home, he smelled the fragrance coming out of the house from afar. The women at home did make some good dishes. Although the big-name dishes in the farmhouse were made, they were very unique. They were all grown and raised, and the taste was different from the agricultural products that were ripened by chemical fertilizers and feed in later generations.

Today is a festive day when the harvest is approaching. The Li family killed a hen and put some cuttlefish on it. The more you stew it, the more fragrant it became. In the pond in the village, I found someone to exchange for a fresh grass carp and the whole braised.

There are also fried eggs and vegetables grown by yourself. Although there are not many vegetables, they are very safe and environmentally friendly, and they are also delicious foods from farmers. Although they don’t look simple, they are not the dishes that ordinary people often eat in this era.

I smelled the fragrance and realized the taste. The five people in the family, Li Changhai, also had an older brother and a younger sister, were all drooling. The delicacies of mountains and seas were delicious, but in some cases, they were less than a table of "farmer side dishes".

"Mom, what dish is so delicious?" Li Changhai asked before he reached the door.

"I'll know after eating it later. Have you caught the loach? Are I waiting to put it in the pot?" Li's mother hurried to the door and said.

He gave the vine basket in his hand to his mother, and Li Changhai smiled and said, "It's just that little in one morning, enough to make some soup for the family to drink. Brother and sister, you two come in and get the dishes out and call us for dinner quickly."

It has been a long time since my family has not had such a happy and fulfilling life. The hardships of the past are like a heavy burden, pressing on everyone's shoulders, making people breathless. The land rent and usury that owed the owner's family, has not been able to pay it back for several generations, and they have no land of their own, so they can only rely on working as long-term workers for large households to earn some money.

Such a lack of reliable life, even food and clothing are not enough to survive. This is also the sorrow of most farmers, and it is also a fate that they cannot break free from.

"Mom, Wang Dahu's daughter is said to be crazy. She is in the ancestral hall of the production team. I heard that she was humiliated by a few soldiers." Eating rice and dishes, Yulan, the youngest daughter in the family, is also sixteen years old and looks so beautiful.

"That's why Dahou Wang deserves to ride on us farmers all day long to suck blood and sweat, and he always wants to kill and cut, and deserves to be punished." Li Changhai's expression was excited when his girl's tone turned to Dahou Wang.

In fact, this is related to his brother Li Changfa. He helped Wang Dahu's family work as a long-term worker, but on the festive New Year days, he couldn't help but secretly drink a few sips of good wine, and was kicked out of the house without even paying his wages. In the end, no one was willing to invite Li Changfa again, and he ended up chopping wood all day long.

But every household is self-reliant. The market only takes once every half month. How much firewood can you cut? Even if it is cut, how much can you take to sell it at the market in the village?

The farmer has no surplus grain and cannot raise idle people. Finally, the eldest brother ran to a foreign country and now he followed Hongmen to the village and became a liaison officer here. This is why life has hope.

However, the Li family and Wang Dahu have accumulated grudges. They have nothing on weekdays, but they will occur at this time. The farmers are very simple, regardless of love or hate, they are simple and clear, with no room for room for nothing.

Actually, seriously, Wang Dahu is not bad, he collects a lot of rent, and he usually does good deeds of building roads and giving porridge during disasters. He also has good reputations. According to the family rules of the wealthy family, Li Changfa can be big or small, and it is also reasonable to be beaten to become disabled by sticks.

It is already very kind to just deduct the monthly wages like Wang Dahu. But what's the use of this? The so-called gratitude and kindness, in front of the Red House, identity is the original sin

There are not many landlords who really bully men and women. Even when it comes to kinship, most of the big households and ordinary farmers in the same villages are related to their relatives. Even if the landlords do evil, they must consider their reputation. The ones who really do bad things are actually some gangsters and bandits who have nothing to do.

The rich families are all old-fashioned. Who is willing to do what they do? They are not afraid of embarrassment. Everyone is a fellow villager and they look down and see each other without looking up.

Besides, farmers are basically nothing, and most of the peasant girls are worth seeing before the age of sixteen. But after this age, their skin will soon become rough and their bones will become thicker, which is related to high-intensity agricultural labor.

In ordinary farmers, even rich peasants, how many girls know how to maintain their bodies and dress up? Even if they are hungry, they probably won’t be so hungry.

Many so-called evil deeds are false, or some special cases, as typical dissemination. The villagers must be willing to share the benefits of the remaining wealth by slaughtering the big households.

As long as the instructor of the Hongmen can guide the public opinion here, this will become a pattern of wanting to be guilty. If you really want to make excuses, you are afraid that you will not be able to find it? At that time, it doesn’t matter whether it is true or not. Anyway, the villagers are also very simple. As long as there is a reason, they will do bad things without any scruples.

Such overthrow has little to do with justice, but is just a conscientious need after profit. Moreover, the farmers' eyes have always been short-sighted, otherwise they would not have supported a political organization destined to re-deprive the land ownership in their original history.

In the end, it was used thoroughly and sold completely. After the reddening China, farmers were still in the lowest social position and were difficult to turn over.

The Li family father and son and Dawan Village are just a microcosm of the so-called redemption of this era. The originally poor and poor class temporarily broke the fate that shackles themselves and ushered in a seemingly beautiful future.

Such things do not need to be vilified or beautified. They are such realistic and vulgar events. They are just whitewashed by the winners, and they become high-sounding and dazzling.

The table in the Li family is the type of old square table, it is very practical, with four people and four directions.

Li Changhai was too hungry to bear it anymore. When his brother and sister were ready to prepare, he took the bowl to fill the rice himself. Yulan was also hungry, so he was not polite. Li's mother took the bowls they prepared and served some chicken soup and a chicken leg for each person.

"Wow, I've never eaten such a good chicken, and the soup is delicious." Li Changfa ate it with relish and couldn't help but exclaim. Magnolia also echoed: "It's really delicious, the fragrance is very special."

It was delicious, but it was stewed with wood, and they had never eaten this luxurious meat before, so they felt very good.

"It's delicious, eat more." Li's mother answered in the kitchen.

"My mother is here to eat too." Yulan ate beautifully, but she didn't forget to call her mother.

"Wait a minute." Li's mother was cooking loach porridge in a sand pot, and the fragrance had already floated out, just one handful of heat. She cut the eel and cut it straight into two pieces, which was specially prepared for her family.

Cooking loach porridge is not easy to make. There are several steps to put the mixture on the heat.

Before the water rolled, Li Ma first beat a few eggs and poured the washed live loach into the pot. Under the action of temperature, the loach drilled into the half-baked egg. As soon as the water opened, the loach had just exposed its head from the egg, then poured the eel in, covered the lid and cooked for ten minutes.

This farmer's side dish, the dragon came out of the cave.

After carefully putting it on the table, Li's mother gave each of the eels that looked like a small plate of dragon to the three children in the family, asking them to taste their own spoils to see if they were delicious, and told them to besides the thorns. The couple ate less.

No one said it was delicious, but unfortunately there were too few. In addition to eels, there were also loaches to eat. Because everyone occasionally ate these things on weekdays, Li Ma served them with loaches and boiled eggs.

"Wow, it looks so fun. Loaches come out of the hole, and they must be delicious." Li Yulan said in surprise. Zhang is so old, this is the first time she has eaten eels and loaches. Even if there are loaches in the past, they had to let their two brothers eat them. This is not to favor boys over girls, but to let men accumulate energy and do farm work.

This is a very realistic problem.

"Haha, please call the dragon out of the cave." The eldest son Li Changfa was taciturn, but in fact he was the most knowledgeable person in the family. He is now the liaison officer of Hongmen in the village.

"Everything is good, eat it while it's hot." Li's mother looked at the children kindly. These dishes were better if they were hot, but they were not good if they were cold.

After dinner, Fu Ying asked them if they were still busy in the afternoon. Li Changhai looked at his father: "Let's stop here today, I really want to go back and rest."

"Well, I'm busy with everything I need to do, let's talk about it tomorrow." Father Li Tie and the other person were smoking a cigarette gun.

"Okay, let's go together tomorrow."

"You are already stable, and your mother wants to go out to work." Li's mother always can't get rid of her husband's shadow at home. It's a pain at home. It's better to change the environment and feel better. So she has the idea of ​​going out.

Mainly, Hongmen has set up a production team and is recruiting female weavers recently. The salary is good and can subsidize household income...
