Chapter 62 Implementing Land Reform

One day, Lin Yiping popularized the country's land policy to the villagers at a village meeting: "We will implement land reform and change the original village collective ownership to an individual contract responsibility system."

However, after the meeting, there were many differences of opinion among the villagers and the meeting did not achieve the expected results.

Lin Yiping was a little depressed: "Contracting land to individuals can mobilize the enthusiasm of villagers! In the future, after paying taxes to the state, the rest will be theirs! Why do many villagers still not understand?"

"Oh? This is indeed a tricky problem..." Shen Jing frowned slightly and said thoughtfully.

Lin Yiping nodded in agreement: "Yes, everyone holds their own opinions and no one is willing to give in. Married people feel that they have formed a family and should get more land; while those who are 16 years old think that they are also part of the village and have the right to enjoy the same treatment."

Shen Jing was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "How about this, let's first understand the opinions and demands of both parties and see if we can find a compromise. After all, land resources are limited, and they must be distributed fairly and reasonably."

Lin Yiping's eyes lit up: "Well, this is a good idea! Then I will communicate with those villagers who advocate dividing the land after marriage and listen to their ideas. Shen Jing, you will be responsible for talking to those children who are over 16 years old to see if they have any specific requirements. Let's try to solve this problem as soon as possible so as not to affect the harmony and stability of the village." After that, the two of them took action.

After some effort, Lin Yiping and Shen Jing fully understood the needs of all parties. They found that the villagers wanted more land after marriage in order to better support their families, while the children were eager to reflect their value in the village by owning land.

Therefore, Lin Yiping decided to hold a second meeting. At the meeting, he proposed a plan: to distribute land according to family size, and to set up a special quota for children over 16 years old. This would not only meet the needs of villagers after marriage, but also make children feel fair.

After hearing this, the villagers all whispered to each other and expressed their approval. The problem that had troubled them for a long time was finally solved, and everyone's faces were filled with satisfied smiles. Lin Yiping and Shen Jing also felt relieved. They knew that only by distributing land fairly and reasonably could the village usher in development and prosperity.

"This distribution plan is really fair, I am very satisfied!" said a villager with a smile.

"Yes, yes, finally we don't have to worry about land issues anymore." Another villager echoed.

"Thanks to Lin Yiping and Shen Jing, they really did a great thing for our village." Another villager said with emotion.

Lin Yiping and Shen Jing felt extremely relieved when they heard the villagers' praise. They knew that the fair and reasonable land distribution not only solved the villagers' troubles, but also laid a solid foundation for the future development of the village.

"We will continue to work hard and contribute our strength to the development of the village," said Lin Yiping.

"Yes, let us work together to make the village a better place!" Shen Jing also expressed his opinion.

The villagers nodded one after another, full of expectations for the future. With everyone's joint efforts, the village will surely usher in a better tomorrow.

After the meeting, Lin Yiping and Shen Jing walked side by side on the way home. As the sun set, everything was peaceful and beautiful.

"I hope our Xialin Village will get better and better!" Lin Yiping's face was full of smiles, his eyes were full of expectation and determination. He spoke to Shen Jing in a gentle yet powerful tone.

Shen Jing smiled slightly, with trust and support shining in her beautiful eyes. She gently placed her hand on Lin Yiping's hand and responded, "I'm here. I believe that as long as we work together, Xialin Village will have a better and better future!"

At this moment, their eyes met, as if conveying endless warmth and strength. They both knew that they had heavy responsibilities, but they also firmly believed that by working together and making concerted efforts, Xialin Village could achieve better development. In the face of this beautiful vision, they were willing to work hard to create a better tomorrow for the village.

As time went by, Xialin Village gradually got back on track. The villagers had been allocated land and were working hard in the fields.

Lin Anbang squatted in the field and took a puff of his pipe, saying happily: "I never thought that I would have my own land in this life! Hehe!"

The person chatting with Lin Anbang was Wang Cailian's father-in-law Lin Anjun. He also said with emotion: "Life is still good now! It's your own land and you have the final say. You can plant whatever you want!"

"Didn't your Pingzhi open a shop with his wife?" Lin Anbang asked.

"Oh, Pingzhi is now obsessed with becoming an official, but I don't think he is cut out for it!" Lin Anjun exhaled a puff of smoke and responded helplessly.

"Hey, young people, you have to do something!"

"Hey, Pingzhi and his wife have had several arguments about this. It's a long story!"

"Look at Old Li, he opened a shop with Miss Shen Jing, and now they are living much better than us!" Lin Anbang was a little envious of Old Li.

"Everyone has his or her own way of living, but I can't live without this land for the rest of my life!" Lin Anjun was filled with emotion.

Lin Anjun and Lin Anbang were chatting when they suddenly saw a man walking towards them from a distance. It was Lin Pingzhi. He looked worried, as if he had something on his mind.

Lin Anjun hurriedly called his son over and asked what happened. Lin Pingzhi scratched his head and said with a bitter face: "Dad, I want to participate in this year's village official election, but Cailian doesn't agree. She wants me to open a clothing store with her, but I can't bring myself to sell my face!"

Lin Anjun sighed and patted his son on the shoulder: "Son, we can't force you to become an official. You have to think it over carefully. If you don't want to sell your smiles, just stay at home and farm with your father!"

After listening to his father's words, Lin Pingzhi became more and more conflicted. He knew that his father was right, but he was unwilling to just farm for the rest of his life.

Lin Pingzhi lowered his head, feeling very conflicted. At this time, Wang Cailian came over and said to Lin Pingzhi, "Pingzhi, I don't insist that you open a shop with me, I just think this path is more suitable for us. It's not easy to be a village official, and my family doesn't have any background, so why do you want to join in the fun?"

Lin Pingzhi raised his head and looked at Cailian, with a firm look in his eyes: "Cailian, I know you are doing this for my own good. But I don't want to stay in this small village for the rest of my life. I want to go out and try my luck and do something for my fellow villagers."

Wang Cailian sighed: "Pingzhi, I support your dream. Since you have decided, then go ahead and give it a try. However, no matter what the result is, we must face it calmly."

Lin Pingzhi held Cailian's hand gratefully: "Thank you, Cailian. I will work hard and will not let you down."

A few days later, the village official election was held as scheduled. Lin Pingzhi participated in the election with confidence. He explained his ideas and plans to the villagers, but many villagers did not buy it. In the end, the voting results were announced and Lin Pingzhi was not elected as the village official of Xialin Village.
