Chapter 320 Are you playing tricks on me? Let's see if your bones are strong enough!
In the first half of the year, various parts of the country continued to suffer from natural disasters, with droughts, floods and other disasters occurring frequently.
The affected areas have reduced or even no grain harvested, and everyone has fled to save their lives...
In mid-to-late July, a group of disaster victims arrived in Hong'an Commune.
The management office was able to allocate limited relief food, so after providing them with two meals of thin porridge, they advised them to return home.
But they were reluctant to leave, saying that their hometown had been hit by a disaster and they had no food to eat. If they went back, they would starve to death. The disaster in Hong'an was less severe, and once all the millet in the fields was harvested, they would definitely not have to worry about food.
They hope that the commune leaders will allow them to settle down here. They will not be lazy and will contribute to the commune to the best of their ability.
Zhou Chuanyu and other leaders of the commune did not dare to agree to this matter lightly. Moreover, the management office did not have much grain reserves. If they took in these victims, more victims would come upon hearing the news.
At Zhou Chuanyu's instigation, the party secretary sent a secretary to communicate with the victims, saying that all the grain in Hong'an Commune had to be handed over to the state, there was no extra land and houses to be allocated for them to live in, and the Public Security Bureau would not agree to suddenly move so many people into the commune.
The secretary asked the victims to return to their hometowns first and report any problems to the local government. After receiving the feedback, the organization would allocate relief food.
Some people said that they had reported the problem to the government, but no grain was allocated to them, saying that the entire country had suffered from the disaster and was short of food.
The secretary said that the problem must not have been adequately reported, and that the problem would definitely be solved if the victims could go directly to the county and provincial leaders.
The commune has already taken out all the grain it can. Continuing to waste it will only waste the opportunity. It would be better to find the leaders as soon as possible to solve the problem.
In the next two days, the commune stopped distributing porridge, and the victims had no food to eat. Some people thought what the secretary said made sense, so they stopped blocking the door of the commune management office and took their families to find the county's top leaders.
Some people think that secretaries are just like their local cadres, who only know how to fool people and are unwilling to leave.
They thought that as long as they stayed, the leaders of the commune would not watch them starve to death, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the outside world.
Some of them were smart and used their clever tongues to ask people about the nearby production teams and find out which one had the best harvest in the past one or two years.
Shengli Brigade has a 10,000-head pig farm, a 10,000-chicken mountain and a vegetable base, and is often praised by the commune and the county.
Some people felt sorry for the victims, so they told the people who were trying to get information the address of the Shengli Brigade, and said that the Zhoujiawan Production Team was famous in the surrounding area for its farming and vegetable growing skills. Other production teams had nothing to eat, but every family in their team could get money.
If I go there to beg for food, I'm sure I'll get some...
Soon, a group of disaster victims came to Zhoujiawan and begged for food from house to house. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't be driven away.
Some brave ones would go to other people's homes, put the food they saw into their mouths, and put it into the bags they carried with them.
Some people saw steam coming out of the pot, so they simply lifted the lid and grabbed the food in the pot and stuffed it into their mouths.
Zhang Xiuying told everyone that pigs would grow faster after eating cooked bran powder, so Zhou Chuanjing assigned a task to each family to cook a pot of bran powder every day and send it to the pig farm.
The people who were trying to grab the food put the food into their mouths, only to find out that it was pig food. However, they were too hungry to care about anything else. After eating one handful, they grabbed a few more...
Although Zhou Chuanjing felt sorry for these people, as the production team leader, he had to be responsible for the entire production team. If he brought trouble to the villagers because of his bad intentions, not only would his position as production team leader be over, but the villagers would not forgive him either.
When Zhou Chuanjing learned that some disaster victims had gone to other people's homes to steal food, he immediately organized a militia team with homemade guns to search out the stolen items and return them to the villagers, and then drove all the disaster victims away.
Those who refused to leave were dragged out, beaten, and thrown out of the village...
Zhoujiawan is currently harvesting early rice. Before entering the village, Grandma Sun secretly pulled a handful of rice to take a look. Most of the rice was full. Once all the rice was harvested, the whole village would not lack food.
She didn't want to leave, so after being pushed by the militia, she just lay down on the ground.
Sun Po's son Hu Bing knew his mother's temper too well. He immediately started shouting and said that his mother had been beaten to death. If Zhoujiawan didn't give him an explanation, he would go to the commune to make trouble. If the commune didn't help, he would go to the county and the province to make trouble.
Other disaster victims also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get some benefits, so they all started to make a fuss, demanding compensation from Zhoujiawan, otherwise they would not leave and would report to the police...
As soon as the victims arrived in the village, someone went to inform Zhou Chuanyi.
When Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Rong rushed back to Zhoujiawan, Hu Bing and dozens of victims were preparing to fight to the death with the militia.
After learning what happened, Zhou Rong approached Grandma Sun calmly. While no one was paying attention, she stepped on Grandma Sun's fingers and pressed them to the ground a few times.
Granny Sun jumped up in pain and angrily yelled, "Who the hell stepped on me?!"
Zhou Rong: "Hey, didn't your son say you died? You came back to life so soon?"
Granny Sun: "...You stepped on me? You must pay me money and give us a few dozen kilograms of food as compensation, otherwise I will never let you go!"
Zhou Rong snatched a homemade gun from the militiaman beside him and made a gesture as if he was about to shoot at Grandma Sun.
"Are you not done with me? You came to our village to steal food, which is the same as being a bandit.
Do you know how the organization treats bandits? We can just shoot you to death without taking any responsibility. "
Grandma Sun trembled and pretended to be calm and said, "You...you dare!
We are not bandits, but our village has suffered a disaster and has nothing to eat. Your production team is the best in the surrounding area. So what if you give us a few bites of food? Just consider it as a good deed for yourself."
Zhou Rong: "In the past two years, it has been either floods or droughts. Every family in our production team has been worried about the next meal after eating the previous one. Who would tell you that our life is easy?
I'll give you one last chance, leave immediately, or we'll treat you like bandits!"
Mrs. Sun was frightened and subconsciously took a few steps back.
Hu Bing didn't believe that Zhou Rong would really dare to shoot, so he grabbed his mother and pushed her in front of Zhou Rong, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and said nonchalantly: "You hurt my mother, and you want us to leave without giving us any compensation? Impossible!
I see that you are so delicate and well-fed, so your family must have enough food. We don’t want much. Just 100 catties of millet and 20 yuan. Once we get the food, we will leave immediately. If you don’t give us the money, we will live in your house and eat whatever you eat.”
Zhou Rong: "You are really an ugly toad. You want to cheat me? Let me see if your bones are strong enough!"
After Zhou Rong finished speaking, he kicked Hu Bing in the stomach, and then punched him in several soft spots on his body, causing him to scream in pain and beg for mercy...
