Even though Li Laifu had an intense quarrel with Li Dali, because the two grew up together and studied together when they were young, their brotherhood was very deep.

Li Laifu is more intelligent, but his personality is more impulsive. Although Li Dali is uneducated, he has a solid, hard-working, and strong character. Li Laifu cannot do much without Li Dali.

This time as well.

Li Daniu came to find his elder brother from the front door, and Li Laifu went from the back door.

Li Laifu knew a little bit in his heart. These kinds of words could be told to close friends behind a closed door. But if it is known to others, and he is finished.

His face is very dark.

Zhao Lanxiang originally had no deep understanding of this second brigade's captain, but she inevitably took a second look at him after listening to his words. He wanted to break down the collective system that had been in effect for more than ten years and divide the fields into each household!

At this moment, his idea was at least one year ahead. In the records, the first people who dare to split the land were poor villagers in Province A. In the winter of 1978, they gathered a dozen households in the village to privately sign the life and death agreement to divide the collective fields to families, but Li Laifu had this idea in the spring of 1977.

Those who dare to break constraints and set a precedent are worthy of respect.

Even if this captain had a stinky face to her at the moment, Zhao Lanxiang couldn't restrain the surge in her heart.

She could imagine if the village implemented a field-to-households system, everyone could have enough to eat. The idle and lazy people would be mobilized and began to work diligently. He Songbai's life would not be so hard anymore!

There are eight lazy people out of ten villagers, and He Songbai is the kind of person who is honest and diligent. After splitting the fields, the burden on his shoulder can be lighter.

The eldest sister at home and Li Dali are good at farming, and with him, the food produced in the field would be more than they could eat.

She smiled slightly, "Second captain, just remember the news I gave you on the day when the mountain collapsed, and believe me."

She paused and continued, "I just heard your thoughts outside by accident. I was so excited that I hurried to knock on the door. If I were someone with ulterior motives, I could squat in the corner and listen, then go back and make a report."

Li Laifu's stinky face was relieved a little.

He only managed to conquer his grievances, but he became silent.

After Li Dali lived in the He family, he had more contact with the educated youth Zhao, so her arrival did not make him feel cautious.

Li Dali said to Li Laifu, "Your thoughts are very aggressive. How do you say that word..."

"You have to think about it in the long run." Zhao Lanxiang said.

Li Dali nodded. "That's what I mean. I feel that if we follow your method, we will have to squat in jail for a few days."

Zhao Lanxiang's surging heart could barely calm down, and her heart was hot, but soon her head gradually cooled with Li Dali's persuasion. If these people managed to divide the farms in her previous lives, it would be unreasonable not to be recorded in history books.

She pursed her lips and thought silently.

Although she knew about the successful example of Province A, they could not copy the method. The situation in the Hezi village is similar to theirs, but it was not the same. The most serious difficulty is that in that village in Province A, there are only more than a dozen people in the whole village, which was a veritable small village, but the Hezi village is a big village with dozens of families...

She carefully said, "We have too many people in the village to control."

Li Laifu sat down anxiously on the bed. His hard fingers painfully pulled his hair.

"I know! We are in desperation, not because of laziness, but because of this stupid rule."

Zhao Lanxiang couldn't help but laugh. Although this serious historic occasion should be faced seriously, she had to give him 120% respect.

She smiled and said. "I will take notes on the obstacles that we might encounter. The only way is to sort it out and think about countermeasures one by one."

"Big Brother is right. If this matter is not planned well, maybe the crops could not be planted, but people will have to squat in jail."

She turned back into her room and took the notebook and pen.

The pen seemed to be still covered with the temperature of a certain man. She lowered her head and started to write.

"First, because Hezi village has a large population, it is difficult for the decision-makers to convince everyone."

"Second......"

Li Dali added, "There are too few agricultural tools. There would be uneven distribution, it is easy to quarrel."

Zhao Lanxiang thought about it. The name of people in the entire brigade came to her mind. Before, Zhou Jiazhen asked her to write down everyone's names in Hezi village. This information came in handy now.

She added one more, "The widows in the village, they are weak laborers and will be the main force of opposition."

Li Laifu listened to the fact that these two people did not refute him, and the anger in his heart eased. He was not too disturbed by Zhao Lanxiang anymore. He added a piece of his thought, "There are too many troublemakers and those people who love to criticize all day long. The people who love to fight and stir the shit."

The three people discussed for a long time, and finally, they filled a page with a list of "potential obstacles." Looking at each one, all of them may be fatal. Li Laifu was about to collapse.

This fluttering piece of paper is like a huge water reservoir, which was so cold that it drowned his struggles.

Li Dali looked at Li Laifu's disappointed eyes and said quietly, "This is the first step of the long march. We just started!"

Zhao Lanxiang tidied up the table and said in a straight voice, "Now we can deal with them one by one."

In real history, Hezi village's process of splitting the fields into households did not succeed. Li Laifu's ideas were strangled in the cradle before the germination, or he may have fallen victim to reports and had to squat in a big prison. In thousands of places, in thousands of examples of attempts, success is only one-tenth. Later, people looked at the history books and only felt that splitting fields into households would be reasonable and natural.

But for those reformers in their time, this matter was more than just some worries. This is a bad thing that can ruin their life!

In the silent night, the three people kept whispering, and after that, everyone's eyes were bloodshot and tired.

Li Dali thought they couldn't divide the land into households, and it would never be possible. Still, no matter whether the leader's decision is correct or not, it could always attract people's dissatisfaction. But if they were allowed to fight for their own families, their livelihood would still be better.

"Aren't they making trouble in paddy fields now?"

"Let them make trouble. It would be best if they make it bigger. After the trouble is over, we could open up with them and say that the brigade has no relief food. We are poor and really impoverished. We have not made any progress after so many years."
