Zhao Lizheng returned to Dahe Village with three thousand kilograms of grain and a glowing face.
He shouted: "Tie Zhu, call the whole village to a meeting, speed!"
Zhao Tiezhu ran away in a flash, shouting at the top of his voice, notifying every household.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the villagers gathered under the big locust tree, old and young.
Zhao Li was standing on the stone, looking around and frowning: "Tie Zhu, you can't do things well."
Zhao Tiezhu scratched the back of his head, not sure why.
Li Zheng said loudly: "People from Xindahe Village must also be called over."
Zhang Laihai snorted lightly: "A group of refugees, what are you doing here? Don't let us get sick again."
"If you let me hear the word "refugee" again, be careful I'll give you a meal!" Li Zheng said coldly, "Since they live in Dahe Village, they are the people of Dahe Village and cannot be treated differently. Today, the County Magistrate also You praise our Dahe Village for its structure, Zhang Rascal, you also need to learn to be a person with structure, do you understand?"
Zhang Laigui: "..."
Let a scoundrel have a pattern, isn't this so damn embarrassing for him?
The group of refugees were somewhat flattered when they were called over for a meeting.
More than 300 people stood timidly behind all the villagers, far apart.
After everyone arrived, Li Zheng said: "This is the first collective meeting since the population of Dahe Village increased. Now, we have invited people from Suiru to speak."
Cheng Wanwan: "..."
She just came here to join in the fun and didn't want to be the center of attention, okay?
But everyone's eyes glanced at her, especially the refugees, who all wanted to catch a glimpse of Sui Ruren.
She had no choice but to walk up and stand on the big rock.
Standing on a high place and looking down at more than a thousand people, one can clearly see that the original Dahe Village people were clean and warm in their clothes, while the new Dahe Village people were wearing thin clothes and were stamping their feet in the cold wind, but there was hope in their eyes.
"First of all, on behalf of the people of Dahe Village, I would like to welcome every new Dahe Villager. Thank you for bringing new vitality and hope to Dahe Village." Cheng Wanwan said warmly, with a warm smile on his face. "From today on, you have officially become a part of Dahe Village. I hope that the people of Old Dahe Village can open their arms to accept new fellow villagers, and I also hope that the people of New Dahe Village can love this village and every inch of land under their feet like us. , and also love everyone around me.”
"Dahe Village has mountains, rivers, fields and land. As long as you endure hardships, contribute your strength, and work hard, this land will definitely give you huge rewards..."
"A chopstick is easy to break, but a pair of chopsticks will not be broken easily. We are a whole, so everyone should not want to be the one who lags behind. If you want to become an excellent person, you want to become a good person. You must keep learning the hardest part of the chopsticks...Learn farming, reading, arithmetic, martial arts, embroidery...As long as you want to learn, Dahe Village will give you the opportunity..."
"With the joint efforts of all of us, Dahe Village will definitely become the most perfect and happy home..."
"Bah bang bang!"
Li Zheng was extremely pleased.
He knew that Dashan Niang had a way of speaking that could always make people's blood boil and their eyes feel sour inexplicably.
He was the first to take the lead in applauding, and the people in the soap workshop who had experience in applauding followed suit. Then, the applause expanded, and everyone, including the newcomers, burst into tears and involuntarily joined in the high-fiving.
Before this meeting, they were homeless, homeless and wandering.
After this meeting, they became New Dahe Villagers and a part of this village...
"stop!"
Li Zheng raised his hand and made a sign of termination, and then the thunderous applause gradually subsided.
"Okay, now let's start the first item of the meeting, which is to divide the land and distribute food!"
Li Zheng clapped his hands, and the men in the village pushed the cart over with the grain. More than three thousand kilograms of grain had been divided into small sacks and packed. The small bags and the small bags were piled on the open space, which was very eye-catching.
Zhao Tiezhu took the list and a large stack of land deeds to the stage and started calling names one by one.
"The head of the household, Bao Hong, has three people in total, thirty kilograms of grain, and six acres of land."
"The head of the household often has a pillar, a single household, ten kilograms of grain, and three acres of land."
"..."
Because they were refugees, the largest household had only five people. Either their parents died, or their husbands, wives, or children died.
Such a comparison reveals the happiness of the people in Dahe Village.
Although they don't have much money, at least the whole family is alive, which is better than anything else.
There were more than 300 people in total, and each of them received food and was assigned a field. Although the land deeds have not yet been received, they have been written out and their thumbprints have just been pressed. After they earn enough money, they will be able to obtain the land deeds. Redemption comes...
Food and fields are the foundation of farmers' lives.
Sui Ruren's speech earlier made them put down their guard, and at this moment, their hearts were truly settled, with a sense of stability and a place to go.
"Next, let's move on to the second item, commending the patrol!"
Li Zheng shouted loudly, and the main members of the patrol team standing outside were shocked.
Should they be commended? What have they done that deserves to be commended?
The patrol team in Dahe Village initially required one person from each household to participate and take turns on duty. Later, when the village got rich and started paying wages to the patrol team, it developed into twenty groups, with more than ten people in each group. , take turns on duty.
The leader of each group is the main member of the patrol team.
"Not long ago, Dahe Village was attacked by refugees. I believe you all still remember this very clearly."
Everyone in Dahe Village nodded.
And those people in Xindahe Village were humbled in shame.
It seems that Qiu Hou is settling the accounts...
"All patrol members who have performed well will be rewarded fifty cents each!" Li Zhengcai said graciously, "Tiezhu, read your name!"
Zhao Tiezhu spread out a piece of paper and read slowly: "Wang Yongcheng, Zhao Sanniu, Zhao Yougui, Zhao Shagen, Zhang Dagang..."
A long list of names was read, a total of forty people.
Forty people stood in a row under the big locust tree, giving it a majestic beauty.
Cheng Wanwan was called by the police and rewarded. Each person received fifty copper coins, and a heavy handful of money was held in his hand. The men were inexplicably moved.
Some patrol members who were not named felt a little regretful. Why didn't they be braver that night?
Rewarding fifty cents is a small thing, but the important thing is to be commended in front of more than a thousand people. They also want to experience this feeling.
Zhang Laihai bit a piece of hay and sneered: "I didn't expect this kid Dagang to be able to get a reward. Not bad, follow me."
In the crowd, a few little girls looked at Sun Shuiqin with envy: "Her father-in-law and his father-in-law are both members of the patrol team, so they can walk around in the village."
"Isn't that right? Shagen really loves her and won't let her do any work."
"If you have the ability, you are so beautiful, and you can find a man who loves your wife."
Hearing these words, Sun Shuiqin didn't feel very happy. Her eyes fell faintly on Zhao Ergou.
"Our village's patrol team has protected the village, so they deserve all the money." Li Zheng said loudly, "Now that our Dahe Village has more and more properties, the patrol team also needs to continue to expand. Participants every month There are three shifts, two hours each time, and the salary is 30 cents. Please sign up."
In other words, if you work for six hours, you will get thirty cents.
This is not just a job, it is also a responsibility and an honor.
A large number of people below raised their hands, and some able-bodied people from Xindahe Village also raised their hands.
Zhang Laihai sneered: "The patrol is guarding against refugees like you, but you still dare to sneak into the patrol, what good things are you thinking about!"
A dozen men silently lowered their raised hands.
It would be great if Dahe Village didn't have Qiu Hou to settle accounts. How could they have such a sweet dream again...
"Zhang Rascal, I think you want to eat the first meal!" Li Zheng scolded angrily, "I don't want to hear the word "refugee" again. If you say it again, I'm really going to beat him up! Hey, this time The patrol team has been expanded to include twenty people, and anyone can sign up, including people from Xindahe Village!"
The people of Xindahe Village widened their eyes in disbelief.
Li Zheng speaks with absolute authority, which means they can become a patrol member.
Thirty cents a month. Ever since they fled the famine and became refugees, they haven't even touched a copper plate in the past three or four months...
Suddenly, all the men among the refugees raised their hands, and the people from the former Dahe Village also raised their hands not to be outdone.
The raised hands are like a small forest, standing tall, growing, persevering, and full of hope...
