Time flies so fast, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
It is late summer, and the fields cultivated by the villagers are already bearing a lot of fruits, and it is expected that the harvest will be in a few months.
Suddenly, news of land distribution came from above. It is said that some places with advanced information have begun to carry out land reform, and all the land will be distributed equally according to the head of the population.
Tangjiacun is too remote, so the implementation of the policy will be relatively slow, but it will be implemented after the autumn harvest at the latest.
Distributing collectively owned land to individuals means that they no longer have to eat from the big pot. This change has some people happy, some sad, some looking forward to it, and some resisting it.
Of course, those who are happy and looking forward to it are the hard-working villagers, while those who are worried and resistant are some lazy people who fish in troubled waters and paddle in the team all day long.
If they are eating from a big pot, these lazy guys can still be lazy, because as long as they work, they will be counted as work points. Some tasks are assigned and completed by a small team. If they are lazy, other team members will naturally do a good job.
But once it is allocated to individuals, the situation is different. If the lazy people continue to be lazy, but no one will help them share the burden, they will only face the problem of starving to death.
No matter how the villagers feel, this day will come.
The autumn harvest season is the most tiring and hard time for villagers in the year, except for the farming period.
During this period, as young as eight or nine years old, as old as sixty or seventy, as long as they were still healthy, they all went to the fields to harvest autumn crops. They got up before dawn every day and could not go home until it was too dark to see.
It turns out that Ding Ye is already the village chief. He only needs to keep an eye on the collected food and prevent it from being stolen. He doesn't have to work in the fields.
However, he still went to the fields like other villagers. He even got up earlier than them and did more than them.
On this day, it was still dark outside, so he got up from the bed again. Although his movement was very small, he still woke up Yun Xi.
Yun Xi rubbed her eyes, put her arms around his neck, and whispered, "It rained tonight, and I can't do any work today. You don't have to get up so early. Just get some sleep."
Last night, it rained heavily and the window paper was wet. The ground was covered with mud. After soaking in the rain, it became a muddy mess, making it impossible to get out.
"I'm not sleepy anymore. It's raining. I won't go to the fields today. I'll go to the rice fields to see if anyone steals the food. You can sleep a little longer."
Seeing her waking up, Ding Ye threw aside the clothes in his hands, touched her face, lowered his head and kissed her gently on the forehead.
"I forgot to tell you that I arranged for someone to keep a vigil yesterday. You don't have to worry about anyone stealing food. Just sleep a little longer and sleep with me."
Yun Xi used the magnetic field of the rice field to set up a simple formation there. During the day, everything was normal, but at night, if someone came close, they would hit the wall. Therefore, she was not worried about anyone at all. Dare to steal food.
Moreover, she also asked the system to monitor the place 24 hours a day, just to be afraid of any accidents.
As for the night watchmen, she only arranged them to cover up others' eyes. In addition to the difference between day and night, the formation of the rice field was also different between the inside and outside of the rice field.
At night, if you enter from the outside, you will encounter strange phenomena, but those who are inside will see everything as usual and can't see anything.
Therefore, as long as the night watchers stay calm, nothing will happen to them.
"Xixi is really considerate in her work."
Ding Ye sighed in admiration, lifted the quilt and got in, hugging that soft and sweet body.
"Anyway, I'm not sleepy anymore. Since Xixi is also awake, why not let's do something meaningful..."
Meaningful things, what else is more meaningful than the things between husband and wife
…
After a period of getting up early and coming back late, sweating hard, the autumn harvest finally came to an end, and the harvested grain was distributed evenly according to head count.
After receiving the food, many villagers were almost overjoyed and began to accept Ding Ye as the village chief from the bottom of their hearts.
Why do you say this? It's because at the beginning, the villagers didn't like Ding Ye, and they didn't want Ding Ye, an outsider, to be the village chief.
However, he was the appointed candidate for the county magistrate. The villagers could not afford to offend the county magistrate, nor could they offend the village party secretary, so they chose Ding Ye unwillingly.
But even if they choose Ding Ye, they are only afraid of Ding Ye and still have great hostility towards him in their hearts.
But things are different now. Ding Ye distributes farm work and the recent food distribution very fairly.
He will not go out of his way to punish anyone because he dislikes them, assign more work, dirty work, or hard work to whom, nor will he avenge private grudges or engage in deceit when distributing food because someone has offended him.
No matter who they are, he treats them equally according to their work points.
Looking back at the former Village Chief Tang, if anyone dared to offend him, or if he didn't like anyone, then that person, including that person's entire family, would suffer.
First of all, Village Chief Tang will play tricks on the work points. That person can obviously get three points, and he will give you one point, or even half a point.
The second is when assigning work, assigning the dirty work that no one wants to do to that person. The last step is to distribute food. After a year of hard work, you have been excluded for a year. In the end, even the food will be withheld, resulting in An old man doesn't have enough to eat.
In comparison, Ding Ye is really too fair. Therefore, all the people who have been punished by Village Chief Tang have now begun to sincerely accept him and like him.
If the person who is now the village chief is not Ding Ye but still Village Chief Tang, then for them, it will be another year of being suppressed, excluded and humiliated.
Ding Ye's appointment saved them.
Therefore, after dividing the food, many people brought some things to give to Ding Ye. On the one hand, they were sincerely grateful, and on the other hand, they wanted to make friends and please him.
After all, establishing a good relationship with the village chief will only benefit them and not bring any harm, and humans have always been a species that seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages.
Becoming a village chief gave him an unexpected wave of favorability. For Ding Ye, it was really an unexpected blessing.
He doesn't need other people's likes, but compared to rejection, likes seem to make people feel better.
After the food distribution, winter is about to enter.
The village committee first asked people to finish all the remaining work on the land, such as cutting wheat straw, corn stalks, etc., and then began to arrange the land distribution.
The village committee gathered all the young and middle-aged men in the village together, measured all the land in the village in great detail, and then counted the entire population.
