This book continues to tell the story of the "Great Leap Forward" in China.

								

When it was time to finish work, Fang Zhicheng asked Lin Rongting and the warehouse keeper of the production team, Zeng Sanxing to stay. He took out his leaf cigarette and said to Lin Rongting, "You smoking." He rolled one himself, put it into the pipe, lit it, took two puffs of cigarettes, then looked up at the two people in front of him, and said softly: "It's all to blame that our production team originally had thinner and barren land, and we didn't distribute as much grain as others last year, so we ran out of food very early. I think it's a bit difficult to wait until President Zheng agrees to distribute the grain, but we can't see the grain piled up in the storage room, starving everyone. I have an idea, I want to give each person a small amount of wheat to go back to save their lives, and then return it when the agricultural cooperative distributes the grain. If President Zheng pursues the responsibility, I will bear the responsibility alone. Do you two think it's okay?" Zeng Sanxing has always been an honest and disciplined person. He did not speak and looked at Lin Rongting. Lin Rongting said, "There's nothing wrong with it. In fact, it should have been done long ago." Fang Zhicheng looked at Zeng Sanxing again. Zeng Sanxing said, "You can do it if you think it's okay." Fang Zhicheng said, "Since you all think it's okay, then you should go and tell them separately. After dark, each household will bring a bag to the storage room."
That night, the members of the second production group happily received 2.5 kilograms of wheat per person, but the news of their distribution of grain quickly spread.
The next day, other production groups in the All-Agricultural Cooperative also approached Zheng Ducai and asked for grain distribution. Therefore, Zheng Ducai's plan was disrupted. He originally planned not to distribute a grain of grain, but to use it all for the payment of public grain and the government's unified purchase of grain. Unexpectedly, Fang Zhicheng was so daring that he distributed the grain in private. He was furious and said, "Fang Zhicheng is really lawless, and he dares to distribute grain without approval. If I don't let you taste my power, you don't know that there is still King's Law in the world!" That night, he held a meeting of the members of the agricultural cooperative in the Meng family compound to criticize Fang Zhicheng.
Zheng Ducai sat in front of a square table. Light a triangular kerosene lamp on the table. After he announced the start of the conference, he shouted fiercely, "Fang Zhicheng! Come to the front." Fang Zhicheng had already expected that he would be criticized. He first sat in an inconspicuous corner, and when President Zheng called him, he slowly stood up, moved to the front, and stood in front of the square table, facing the members. In recent years, he has seen many scenes of criticizing people, and he knows where to stand. Zheng Ducai asked, "Fang Zhicheng, you tell everyone honestly today, why did you distribution of grain privately?" Fang Zhicheng replied calmly, "I have no intention of distributing the grain privately. I saw that the members of the production team were very hungry, and I just wanted to give them a little of the grain in advance, and then deduct it, from the grain they later should have get." "You dare to argue. You distributed grain without the approval of the agricultural cooperative. Isn't this distribution privately?" Zheng Ducai immediately refuted it. He then glanced at the venue and asked, "Everyone, tell me, is this distributed privately?" Xia Zhihui, the leader of the first production group, thought that the second production group had distributed the grain before the members of the first production group had get  not a  grain of grain, injustice in his heart, he said, "This is not is privately distributed what is it?"  The other agricultural cooperative members who did not receive grain did not find the reason why they did not receive grain, but instead Feeling that I was at a disadvantage, they also shouted: "Of course this is privately distribution!" Zheng Ducai felt that if the wind of "distributing grain without authorization" was not stopped immediately, his overall plan would be in vain. At that time, he would not be able to explain to the higher-level government. I am afraid that he would really have to eat "bamboo shoots and fried pork". He asked: "What should everyone say to this kind of person who distributes grain privately?" "Let him withdraw the distributed grain!" Someone shouted. Zheng Ducai was silent for a while, and said, "The grain must be taken back. However, is it ok to just take it back?" Zhou Zhenhua, a member of the first production team, always took pleasure in fighting and beating people.  After listening to Zheng Ducai's words, he understood what he meant, and shouted from below: "Yes, just take it back, it's too cheap for him! Use him to make 'washing taro'!" Zheng Ducai heard this proposal, nodded and said, "Okay! Come up with a few people!" Zhou Zhenhua squeezed out of the crowd first, slapped Fang Zhicheng, and said, "You are eating well! We everyone has not distributed grain, so you distribute the grain privately!" As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Deyi slapped him again and said, "Let's see if you dare to distribute the grain privately!" The rest of the group leaders Worrying about being a "downstream" and being criticized, they all came to the front. A few people surrounded Fang Zhicheng in the middle. Someone punched him, and someone pushed him back. Under such repeated operations, he staggered, and kept spinning in circles surrounded by several people.
Fang Zhicheng was finally exhausted from torture and fell to the ground.
When Fang Xinyou saw his father being tortured, he felt sad and scared, so he could only watch helplessly. The members of the second production group could only feel indignant for Fang Zhicheng in their hearts, but they dared not speak.
Zhou Zhenhua saw Fang Zhicheng fall and said, "What are you faking?" He pulled him from the ground again, and wanted to continue pushing him. Zheng Ducai said, "Okay, let's go here for the time being today. I'll keep this account, and I'll settle it with him later." Zhou Zhenhua kicked Fang Zhicheng again and said, "It's cheap for you!" Fang Zhicheng was unsteady, fell to the ground again.
