In 1967, 5 veterans from our village joined the commune's propaganda team for poor middle peasants, everyone came and went in the wind and rain, helping the villagers to work, but they did not earn work, and delayed their families to earn work, 4 quit halfway and ran home, only I persevered, and the fate changed from then on.
People will encounter too many things in this life, and as long as you stick to some things, you will have different gains.
In 1967, after four years in the army, I returned to our village after being discharged from the army, and at that time, the veterans had a high prestige in the hearts of the people, spoke and acted fairly and decently, and the people trusted me.
Soon after I returned to the village, the captain informed me that the five veterans who had returned from the village were to join the propaganda team of the poor and middle peasants organized by the commune and obey the unified arrangement of the commune.
The Propaganda Team for the Poor and Middle Peasants is a propaganda team for the ideology of the poor and middle peasants that was drawn from relevant units and production teams in the late 60s and early 70s of the last century.
The members who are eligible to participate in the "poverty propaganda team" are generally divided into three situations: one is the children of pure poor peasants who are well-rooted, the second is the retired veteran captains, militia company commanders, and other cadres of the production team, and the third is the retired soldiers who have returned to their villages.
The main task of the "Poverty Propaganda Team" is to propagate the party's ideology, fight for private criticism, eliminate factionalism, and promote production. The members of the "Poverty Propaganda Team" generally have to undergo short-term training in the commune first, and after mastering the basic work content, methods and requirements, they can be sent to various production teams.
However, because I was a squad leader in the army and a party member, I was elected as the team leader by the "Poverty Propaganda Team" and led 3 team members to the Liangwa production team.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the training, I really didn't know what the "Poverty Propaganda Team" should do, but after the training of the commune, especially after serving as the team leader, I knew that my duty was to help the masses in their production and life.
One day, I got up very early, but I saw a few members of the village carrying hoes, hurriedly walking to the village, and I followed curiously from afar.
After climbing over a ditch, I saw several people on the slopes on both sides of the hill making melon mounds, and some people were leveling the mounds, as if they were preparing to plant something.
However, I knew that the production team did not plant labor, nor did it send such work to the villagers, and the villagers themselves got up so early to do this, which was obviously not the labor task of the production team, and I felt that there was something wrong with this, so I hurried back to the commune and truthfully reported what I saw to the commune secretary Wang.
Later, after research by the leaders of the commune and the production team, they all believed that these villagers were growing vegetables in order to survive the current famine.
Secretary Wang said: "Liang Wa's captain has reported to the commune many times before that the production team is short of food, and now it seems that the problem is more serious. Liangwa Village is located in a mountainous area, the land is barren and thin, the situation is indeed special, if the masses do not have food at home, everyone will not risk being criticized and secretly grow vegetables by themselves.
At present, spring plowing and production have already begun, and at a critical juncture that requires a large amount of labor, the masses cannot be allowed to work on a hungry stomach.
The commune immediately decided to supply the Liangwa production team with three months of resold grain, which was distributed in full at the rate of 30 catties per person per month to alleviate the famine of the masses. Secretary Wang immediately asked me to be in charge of this matter with the captain of Liangwa's production team, the captain was responsible for registering the population and making a roster, and I took the members of the "Poverty Propaganda Team" to contact the credit cooperatives for grain purchase loans, and quickly distributed the resold grain to the members.
With the masses in your heart, you are the only one in the eyes of the masses!
In the next 10 days, we went to the county party committee and the credit cooperative, and finally got the loan for the purchase of resold grain, and the members of the club also received the resold grain, and the attitude of the members towards us was obviously much better, and they took the initiative to greet us every day when they saw us.
However, at the same time as doing things well for the masses, I found that there was a veteran in our group who had not seen anyone else for several days, and when I asked another team member, I learned that this veteran was suspected of running around all day in the "poor propaganda team", not earning a single job, and delaying himself to earn work in the team, and felt that he was messing around, so he didn't say goodbye and secretly ran home.
Later, I also heard that there were 5 veterans in our village who participated in the commune's "Poverty Propaganda Team", and 4 of them had already run back, but I was the only one who was still in the "Poverty Propaganda Team". Actually, I also had the situation encountered by that veteran, but the slightly better thing is that there are 6 brothers in our family, I am the third, and I am one less, which has little impact on the family's income.
After clarifying the cause of the "running soldiers," they improved their work, and they also recorded the work of the members of the "poor propaganda team" as they did in the production team, and the production teams to which they belonged calculated and paid them.
To my surprise, because others ran away but I didn't, Secretary Wang of the commune praised me at many meetings, saying that I had the masses in my eyes, and as soon as I arrived in Liangwa Village, I found the hardships of the local members, and had the courage to be responsible, reported problems to the commune, stared at solving them, and had a high level of ideological quality and work.
In ordinary days, I felt the weight of responsibility and the strength of perseverance.
One day in 1968, when I came out of the office of Secretary Wang of the commune, I was preparing for the commune compound, when I happened to collide head-on with a female comrade at the turn of the aisle.
When the incident happened suddenly, I was immediately stunned, hurriedly helped them up, and accidentally scratched their arms, which hurt them directly. I hurriedly stepped back and kept apologizing, while the girl stood up against the wall.
There was a lot of movement on our side, which alarmed Secretary Wang, and when he came out to take a look, he immediately understood what was going on, and laughed......
About a week after the incident, I went to the commune to do business, and Secretary Wang saw me and called me over, saying that Xiao Huang has taken a fancy to you.
I was immediately confused, Xiao Huang? Which Xiao Huang, I don't know. The secretary said, it is the girl you knocked down that day, she is the girl from the family of Deputy Director Huang of the County Materials Bureau, and she is the staff of our civil affairs office.
When I returned to the temporary room of the Liangwa production team in the afternoon, a pair of brand-new insoles embroidered with lotus flowers were placed on my bed, and the team members in the same room told me that a girl surnamed Huang had come, and you were not there, so they put a pair of insoles on your bed, and then they left.
Later, I officially established a relationship with Miss Xiaohuang, and in 1970 we got married, and Secretary Wang of the Commune was a witness to the marriage.
In 1971, I was seconded to the office by the Commune, where I was responsible for collecting, collating and reporting on the work of the Commune.
One day in 1976, I was holding a meeting in the commune, and my wife Xiaohuang quietly told me that the commune's accounting department was recruiting, and the conditions were party members, high school education, veterans were preferred, and grassroots work experience was required.
On this day, when I was about to go to the accounting department to register, Secretary Wang saw me and said that the leaders of the commune had studied and decided to report to you as a cadre of the accounting department of the commune and be responsible for tax work.
Since then, I have been formally engaged in tax work, in 1979 from the township tax office and transferred to the county tax bureau, as the head of the unit, deputy director and director, in 2004, I retired from the tax bureau, the current pension of more than 7,000.
After I retired, I often went back to the village, and I also saw the comrades-in-arms who participated in the "Poverty Propaganda Team" together, except for the 2 who died of illness, the other 2 people, although they were also surrounded by children and grandchildren, but the life was very tight, they saw me, just a long sigh!
It is not the power of water, but the power of perseverance!
In this life, people will always suffer for a while, but they will not suffer for a lifetime.
Only struggle can change fate!
