"They've already started registering the population, so it looks like this must be real!"

"That's great! This communal system should have stopped long ago. From now on, each family can cultivate their own land. Only then will we have hope for a better life!"

"But how do we divide the land? By household or by person?"

"Mother, hurry up and cook. After we're full, let's go to the threshing ground. The whole family should go."

······

The whole Dongsheng Village was bustling with activity.

Lu Zhendong was sitting in his yard with his coat on, smoking a cigarette.

"Beat! Beat! Beat! You're beating me to death so early in the morning. I'll beat you to death sooner or later!"

"Did you hear the loudspeaker? The land is about to be divided. I don't care, but you must take that bastard Lu Ye's land back to me! Did you hear me?" Hou Xiaoyun came to the yard and shouted at Lu Zhendong.

Ever since Lu Ye destroyed the house, he left home and has not been heard from since.

After Lu Ye got married, he registered his own household.

Now the village is about to distribute the land. Regardless of whether the policy is to distribute it according to the number of people or according to the number of households, Lu Ye meets the requirements.

Hou Xiaoyun then started to think about Lu Ye's land.

"I can't even see him now, how can you let me ask for it?" Lu Zhendong said in a muffled voice.

"Who told you to ask him for it? We'll go to the threshing ground to do the population registration later. That brat won't be here. Just register him in our name. Then when we divide the land, we can be next to each other, right?"

"What's so difficult about this?"

Hou Xiaoyun rolled her eyes, very dissatisfied with Lu Zhendong's ambiguous attitude.

Ever since Lu Ye left, Lu Zhendong has changed completely.

In the past, Hou Xiaoyun was the one who had the final say in this family, and he would do whatever she asked him to do.

But now, Lu Zhendong does almost nothing other than working in the fields all day long.

His attitude towards her also changed. The two often quarreled over trivial matters and even fought a few times.

Since Lu Tianci was not around, Hou Xiaoyun didn't even have a helper, and she was even more angry.

Lu Zhendong smoked a cigarette and responded to Hou Xiaoyun with silence.

"I've finally figured it out. I can't rely on you for anything now. I have to do it myself!" Hou Xiaoyun was so angry that she went back into the house with a pout.

It’s not just the Du family that’s troubled.

There are also the Chen family and the Huang family.

Chen Hao and Huang Juan eloped, and no one knows what the two are doing now.

As the population registration was about to be done and the land would be divided later, there was still no news from the two people, which made the adults of both families very worried and panicked.

8 o'clock.

The huge threshing ground is now crowded with people.

Almost everyone in Dongsheng Village who could still walk came.

Looking at the surging crowd in front of them, Du Dawei and Tian Hua smiled at each other.

The real purpose of making such a grand event is to focus all the villagers' attention on the issue of land distribution.

"let's start."

Du Dawei, holding a handheld megaphone made of sheet metal, shouted into the crowd, "Let's not waste any more time. The census registration will begin now. Whoever Accountant Tian calls, their family members must come and participate in the verification."

······

Hou Xiaoyun and Lu Zhendong stood in the crowd.

As Tian Hua called out to each household according to the village's household registration list, more and more people came out of the crowd and came to the front to register.

This kind of registration is not just writing a person's name. In a sense, it is also an act of determining ownership.

After waiting for a long time, Tian Hua finally called out Lu Zhendong's name.

Hou Xiaoyun couldn't wait to pull Lu Zhendong forward.

"I'm coming!"

When he saw Hou Xiaoyun and Lu Zhendong, Du Dawei immediately put on a sour face.

Lu Tianci extorted eight hundred yuan from their family and then ran away.

Although Du Mei has given birth to the child now, he has not yet found the opportunity to settle the score with the Lu family.

Tian Hua looked at the book and said, "Lu Zhendong is the head of your household, and Lu Tianci is also listed in the book. That means there are only three of you, right?"

Hearing this, Hou Xiaoyun immediately waved her hands and shouted, "No! No, there's also our husband Lu Ye, and he has a wife, so there should be five of us."

"Accountant Tian, ​​please include all of our family members in the list so that when the land is divided, we can also get a whole piece of land."

Hou Xiaoyun was still thinking about good things, but Tian Hua's next words completely shattered her dream of occupying Lu Ye's land.

"Your eldest son's household registration has been moved a long time ago, don't you know?"

"What?"

Hou Xiaoyun's face was filled with disbelief. "Accountant Tian, ​​don't talk nonsense. It's true that our eldest son set up a separate household after getting married, but he didn't transfer his household registration."

Lu Zhendong also looked confused.

Changing your household registration is not something you can do casually. The most common thing is that a girl transfers her household registration to her husband's family after getting married.

As for transferring rural household registration to the city, don't even think about it unless there is a formal unit willing to accept it.

Lu Ye was clearly married to Su Zhiqing, so there was no reason for his household registration to be moved.

"Accountant Tian, ​​you must have made a mistake. My eldest son's household registration has always been in our village. I knew it when he was registered as a separate household. How could he have moved away? This is impossible. It must be the team that made a mistake!" Lu Zhendong said with certainty.

Without a household registration, you are not eligible to participate in land distribution.

Hou Xiaoyun subconsciously looked at Du Dawei next to her.

"I can't be wrong. The only person in our village who has changed his household registration to a city hukou in recent years is Lu Ye. I remember this clearly, so I can't be wrong. No, you don't know about your own family's affairs?"

Tian Hua turned the household registration book in his hand around and placed it in front of Lu Zhendong.

"Look carefully, it's clearly written here. The person moving out is Lu Ye, the place of departure is our Dongsheng Production Team, and the place of arrival is the Household Registration Section of the Provincial Construction Department in Binjiang City. There's also an attached page of the relocation permit."

"See? It's clearly written here. This happened last year. Your eldest son's household registration has already been moved away."

Tian Hua pointed to the column in the registration book that originally recorded Lu Ye and read it word by word to Lu Zhendong and Hou Xiaoyun.

"What's going on? How is this possible?" Lu Zhendong couldn't believe it was true.

Hou Xiaoyun's face was gloomy.

Since Lu Ye's household registration had been moved, he naturally had no right to get the land. Wouldn't her plan have been in vain?

"Old Lu, your eldest son is very promising. Did you see that? He switched from farming to non-agriculture. Others have found jobs in the city and are eating commercial grain, but your family still doesn't know about it?"

Tian Hua's words were like a huge thorn, deeply hurting Hou Xiaoyun.

How can this be?

The kid whom she had always looked down upon actually got a job in the city and even got a city hukou.

Hou Xiaoyun only felt a tightness in her chest, as if she was being pressed down by a huge rock, making it difficult for her to breathe.
