Not long after sowing, Zhang Jianguo hurried back from another place. As soon as he came back, he shouted that the whole village would divide the public's fields. No one in the village would dare to pay attention to him, for fear of being arrested by the Red Guards and sent to labor camps.

It is said that Zhang Tianyou, the village chief of Zhangjia Village, has two sons. The eldest son Zhang Jianjun went crazy because he was kicked by a donkey in his head in his early years. Although his second son Zhang Jianguo had a normal head, he just didn't want to stay in the village and wanted to travel around and take a look.

However, after Zhang Jianguo, who had been away from his hometown for a few years, came back, the villagers thought that he had made a fortune out of money, so they didn't come back for a long time. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jianguo was alone when he came back, and he was alone. There was no big change, and he couldn't see that he looked like he was making a fortune. The only thing that changed was that his face was covered with beards.

As soon as Zhang Jianguo came back, he caused a storm in the village. As soon as he came back, he quarreled with his father Zhang Tianyou to divide the land and implement a family contract responsibility system.

Zhang Tianyou knew the power of this, so he always scolded his son angrily and said, "You bastard, you have been away from your hometown for so many years. When you come back, you will make useless tricks on your father. If you dare to mention it to me, I will break your dog's legs."

Zhang Jianguo knew very well that he could not tell his father Zhang Tianyou. After all, it was useless to say it, so he took advantage of the darkness to find his childhood playmate Zhang Fugui, hoping to win him over to develop a responsibility system.

Zhang Fugui is not as knowledgeable as Zhang Jianguo, nor has any culture. He doesn't know what the responsibility system is, but he knows very well that he cannot take the public's land privately for himself. However, when facing his playmate Zhang Jianguo who has been playing since childhood, he always listens to Zhang Jianguo's talkative matters seriously.

"Fugui, just tell me if you are willing to work with me to develop this responsibility system," said Zhang Jianguo.

"Then what, Jianguo, what is the responsibility system? What is the responsibility system?" Zhang Fugui asked.

"Looking at your unpromising look, you know that you don't know. The responsibility system is to divide the public's land and then turn it into your own," Zhang Jianguo said in response to Zhang Fugui.

"What... that's great, that's great... Jianguo, don't say anything. Anyway, I dare not do this and I can't do it. You'd better find someone else," Zhang Fugui said in surprise.

Seeing that his playmate Fugui, who had been playing since childhood, did not dare to engage in a responsibility system with him, Zhang Jianguo was quick to learn to catch Zhang Fugui's weakness and said, "Fugui, you... just tell me whether you want to marry a wife."

Zhang Fugui touched Laoke in confusion, "What does marrying a wife have to do with the responsibility system? Can you marry a wife by implementing a responsibility system?"

Seeing that Zhang Fugui was shaken, Zhang Jianguo explained to him eagerly: "Fugui, just talk about why the girls in our village are unwilling to stay in the village for so many years. They are not all married to other places at the fifteen or seventeen, and girls outside the village are unwilling to marry to our Zhangjia Village. You see, you are almost twenty-five and still have a bachelor’s life.” Do you know why this is all?

"Isn't it because our village is poor? We all know these things, but aren't the situations of each family at the moment? Why bother to worry about it?" said Zhang Fugui.

"All right, you're still a sensible person, but what I want to tell you is that if our village also implements a responsibility system, and divides the public's fields and then pays them to the collective after the grain is collected, then the rest will be all my own. I roughly calculated that the situation of our village will have to be reviewed in the past year!" Zhang Jianguo said carefully.

Although Zhang Fugui didn't know what the responsibility system was doing, he heard Zhang Jianguo say that it would make the village situation look more seriously. However, Zhang Fugui was timid and afraid of making political mistakes. He also heard that the responsibility system was divided into the public, so he didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

After hearing the responsibility system mentioned by Zhang Jianguo, Zhang Fugui muttered, "Jianguo, you are very good at speaking, but... but I'm dividing all the land of the public. Isn't this to go against the public? Your father is the village chief, and you can't even control you when you say that the Red Guards can't control you, but I... I am just an honest and responsible farmer, and I don't understand the responsibility system, but I just accept one thing, that is, no matter how hard or tired you are, I dare not divide the land of the public. My father Zhang Youcai devoted his first half of his life to the country, and I dare not slander my father."

After Zhang Fugui finished speaking, he stood up from the mud knot and patted his butt and turned around and walked into his mud house. Seeing that he could not even scream his playmate Zhang Fugui, who had been playing with since childhood, he felt a little discouraged, so he stood up from the mud knot and patted his butt and went home.

Zhang Fugui walked into the house and watched his father Zhang Youcai dig a small piece of dry cigarette with his cigarette bag and light it up. Every time Zhang Youcai took a pungent smoke from his mouth, he sucked and sniffed a burst of pungent smoke from his mouth. The smoke slowly spread into the house. Every time Zhang Fugui saw his father Zhang Youcai smoked his cigarette bag, he covered his mouth and coughed. Every time his father Zhang Youcai saw Fugui coughing because he smoked his cigarette bag, he smoked hard and put it out before extinguishing the cigarette butts that had not finished smoking. He put it back into the cigarette pipe and kept it for the next time.

After Zhang Youcai put out the cigarette butts, he sat aside and shook his body and said to Fugui, "Fugui! Did that guy Jianguo come to find you just now? What did you say?"

Zhang Fugui has been dependent on Zhang Youcai since he was a child. Faced with his father's questioning, he said everything he had just said to him without hesitation.

After hearing this, Zhang Youcai patted his thigh with his hand and said, "Wealthy! That brat in Jianguo is so stupid, you must not be deceived by him! Dad has lived for most of his life, and although he has not been glorious, he has not insulted his ancestors. Don't be stupid and unlucky to be the first bird!"

Zhang Fugui has always obeyed his father since he was a child and never had any rebellious thoughts. He would do whatever his father said, because he knew that his father Zhang Youcai worked hard for him for most of his life, and thought in his heart that one day he would say that he would be rich and powerful like his name, so that he could take better care of his father Zhang Youcai and take care of him for his old age and see him off.

Zhang Fugui felt sorry for his father Zhang Youcai to give him all the best things from childhood to adulthood. His father couldn't bear to see him starve and freeze. Even the worn-out old cloth shoes he wore was given to Zhang Fugui. He woven a pair of straw sandals with hemp rope and put them on his feet. The villagers often worked barefoot in the crops, causing thick calluses to grow on the soles of their feet, which was still better when it was hot. Although the straw sandals were a little bit worn, they didn't feel the thick calluses on the soles of their feet. However, when it was cold, they couldn't stand it. Therefore, as Zhang Youcai grew older, the rheumatism on his legs became more and more serious.

Zhang Renyi was as benevolent as his name said, so he readily agreed to Zhang Tianyou's request and hurriedly ran out of Zhang Tianyou's house.

The villagers watched Zhang Renyi run out of Zhang Tianyou's house, but they didn't care about Zhang Renyi even though they didn't see Zhang Tianyou and Zhang Jianguo, and they still made a big fuss at Zhang Tianyou's house.
