Chapter 113
Li Yixing returned home when it was already dark. Unexpectedly, he saw the two elders of the Song family and his younger siblings at his home.
"You...are you waiting for me?"
He walked into the room and asked uncertainly, then looked at Yang Qin, "Daughter-in-law, do you have anything to eat? I'm so hungry."
Li Manping quickly ran to the kitchen and brought out the meal her mother had reserved. She watched her father take it and started eating it, finishing a large bowl of rice in just a few breaths.
"Dad, didn't you have enough lunch?"
"Go, pour me some cold water, I'm still thirsty."
Li Yixing filled his hungry stomach, and then he was in the mood to chat.
"Uncle Song and Aunt Song have also heard the news? What do you think?"
"Lao San, I don't agree with you going to do this. It is the old rule of the Red Party to carry out land reform in the liberated areas. They have always done this, and it has been approved by most people."
Grandpa Song directly expressed his position. He had already read about this move from the newspaper brought back by his son-in-law, and felt that it was no problem in general.
"I also support land reform, but the score situation is different. I will ask the county magistrate Guo tomorrow to see what he means."
"County Magistrate Guo is still in office?"
Grandpa Song was confused. It had been several months since the Red Party took over the county. It was a bit strange that the original Kuomintang county magistrate was still in office.
"Well, I heard that the new county committee leader is a regiment leader who retired after being seriously injured in the army. He was still lying down when he took office with the guards, so County Magistrate Guo was mostly helping to handle affairs some time ago."
Li Yichang heard this bit of gossip from Mr. Tang. He doesn't know how true it is, but looking at the way the Red Party has been doing it, the possibility is very high.
"He doesn't act recklessly when he comes. This new county committee member sounds like a pretty good person. Be careful when trying to make connections and don't get yourself involved."
Li Yixing knew that he alone could not be stronger than a party, so he could only try his best to find out whether the managers' tone of voice could be adapted to local conditions.
And he also has a big family behind him, so he can't help but be reckless. According to their system, their family still takes advantage.
Da…pa
In a vacant small room in the county party committee compound, Li Shengguo, who had just recovered from his injury, was sitting at the table helping his son with his homework. When he heard the door open, he immediately stood up holding the legs of the table, walked to the door and took the book from his wife.
"You are pregnant now. You can have a good rest at home. It won't be too late to go to work after the baby is born."
Zhao Liyun carefully held her belly and walked steadily behind her son step by step. She glanced at the homework in his notebook and stopped paying attention when she found that they were all correct.
"There is nothing wrong with my body. As you know, I am a doctor myself. I know my own situation very well. I am bored even when I am idle at home."
"Mom, you should listen to my father and take good care of her at home, and just give me a beautiful sister."
Li Zhao, who was doing his homework, answered the question silently. He was the only child in his family and he had always envied other people's sisters. Now that his mother was pregnant, he looked forward to having a chubby sister of his own.
"You kid, don't be so judgmental. I also think this baby will be a sweet and soft little girl, but she might just be a kid. Don't cry if you are disappointed."
Li Shengguo patted his son and asked him to concentrate on his homework.
"By the way, Shengguo, have the people you sent back to find dad and your eldest brother and younger brother come back? Is there no news about them yet?"
Zhao Liyun knew that her husband had always been thinking about his relatives, but he was too busy due to the war and had never been able to go back to his hometown in person. This time he was injured and was assigned to a small county in a nearby province as the county leader. He took the opportunity to photograph his personal guards and go back to his hometown to investigate.
"No, I sent a telegram back. The family moved away a few years ago. I don't know where they went, and I don't know if I will see them again in this life."
Li Shengguo sighed heavily. He also wanted to go home and have a look. He didn't know how the old man was doing. Is he okay?
"It's okay. Anyway, you won't be leaving here for a while. We have time to search slowly."
Zhao Liyun comforted her husband, and then thought that her husband had been in Guangtian County for a long time, but he did not act like Lei Lifeng in the past, and asked him suspiciously what he thought.
"Shengguo, you seem to be a bit slow in rectifying this county. Why?"
Li Shengguo smiled, patted the sofa next to him, and asked his wife to sit down and talk.
"You don't understand, this county is different from the previously liberated places. This is a rare peaceful area for various reasons. We cannot break the tranquility here as soon as we come.
Moreover, County Magistrate Guo is also a capable person and has always handled affairs very well. His philosophy of doing things is very consistent with the policies of our party, and there are no major changes that need to be made. "
Zhao Liyun was puzzled. She heard that the land reform team had arrived in the village and issued a notice, and that remeasurement and distribution would be carried out in the next few days.
"But I heard that Captain Chen is already carrying out land reform?"
"Well, land reform in other places has not been very smooth in the past. It has been blocked by various factors and has been delayed for a year or two before it can be fully implemented. This year, the higher authorities have issued a message asking us to adjust appropriate methods based on local conditions."
Li Shengguo gently touched her bulging belly and continued to explain:
"You have only been here for two days. You don't know how special this county is. There are no big landowners here at all. Farmers' fields are purchased from the county and reclaimed by themselves. The previous method of taking back and redistributing them will not work. , I thought for a long time before agreeing with County Magistrate Guo that the general direction will remain unchanged, and families who really have a lot of land will take it back and redistribute it, but compensation will be given."
"Is this okay? You won't make a mistake, right?"
"It doesn't matter. I sent a report to the superiors, explaining the situation here, and the superiors approved it."
Li Shengguo actually admired County Magistrate Guo. He was able to protect the peace of this area during the storm and manage it in an orderly manner. He was indeed a capable person. He had already reported it to the county magistrate, hoping to keep the former county magistrate to cooperate with his work.
"As long as you're measured, I'm afraid you'll be too aggressive and fight as hard as you did on the battlefield before."
"How can it be the same? In the past, there was nothing we could do. If we didn't try hard, we would be timid. Now we are governing a peaceful area and need to develop stably."
Early the next morning, Li Yixing set out with the children going to school. He dropped the children on the side road and rushed to Tang's house in the county.
"The mistress is here, sit down and accompany me for the next game."
Mr. Tang, who was playing Go alone to pass the time, saw Li Yixing coming in and called him gently.
"it is good."
Li Yixing did not refuse, tied the reins and sat across from him. When he saw Uncle Tang holding a white piece in his hand, he picked up a black piece and pressed it on the chessboard.
Neither of them spoke, and they quietly finished the game of chess. In the end, Mr. Tang won a few pieces.
After taking a sip of tea, Mr. Tang looked at Li Yixing,
"I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Tell me, what do you want to do with me, an old man?"
Li Yixing smiled flatteringly and recounted the matter.
