After the fight, Fang Biyu became a public figure.Those who witnessed the fight with their own eyes, when relaying the story to others, did not hesitate to embellish and describe Fang Biyu as the thirteenth sister of a chivalrous woman. Those two slaps and two feet are so beautiful and enjoyable.The two slaps are called "Anyway Pot Stickers", and the two feet are called "Mandarin Duck Feet" or "Er Kijiao".Fang Biyu's father once kicked over a vicious dog with "mandarin duck kicks", but she kicked over a tall and fierce man. Fang Biyu was watched by the whole factory. Whether she was queuing up for dinner in the dining hall or washing her face and brushing her teeth on the well platform, everyone looked at her in awe.Her heroic qualities can no longer be concealed, nor will she.She was back to the way she was when she was fighting medicine with me.She held her head high.She elated.Her whole body seemed to be reloaded with springs.

A few days later, the factory held a factory-wide worker meeting, with regular and temporary workers participating.Open-air meeting place, under the mercury lamp in the packaging workshop.The packaging workshop is a two-story building, and the mercury lamp is installed on the roof.It was the brightest and tallest light I have ever seen.The light shines on the whole plant and spreads to farmers' crop fields.The light is light blue, illuminating people's faces indigo.Hundreds of people gathered under the lamp, like a group of living ghosts. The branch secretary first read an editorial from "People's Daily", which was about criticizing "Water Margin" and opposing the capitulators.Next, the factory manager lectured. He first criticized someone for urinating next to the cotton pile, and then criticized someone for wiping blood with lint.The factory manager said that this has nothing to do with the male workers, but the female workers.The female workers all bowed their heads and said nothing.Current, the daughter of the commune party secretary, said loudly:

"It has nothing to do with our cadre's daughter. We have special equipment for emergency rescue and disaster relief." Everyone bared their teeth and grinned strangely. "Flood control and drainage!" said a male worker. "Current" said: "It was done by female workers from the countryside, let us be implicated." Fang Biyu stood up and said coldly: "What evidence do you have for saying this? Which female worker from the countryside did it? Don't try to catch all the fish in the river. In addition, what the factory manager said is not true. Can't a male worker use lint to wipe his skin and flesh, catch a fire and have a nosebleed?"

The factory director said angrily: "Fang Biyu, I was about to accuse you, but you jumped out first! You beat the cotton farmers, disrupted the worker-peasant alliance, disrupted public order, and have no leadership. The factory decided to fire you! You will go to the committee tomorrow to count. Settle the bill, pack your bags and go home and eat your mother’s cooking. You are good at martial arts, but my place is not Wagang Village!" The temporary workers were terrified and dared not speak.Regular workers don't fucking fart.A few big moths slammed into the shade of the mercury lamp.It was more like a group of ghosts, us, in a temple.

Decades later I think I should have jumped up, slapped my chest like a man and said: "Don't blame Fang Biyu for this matter, blame me. If you want to fire me, fire me." But I didn't do that.In fact, I will always be a coward, always a villain who worries about gains and losses. Fang Biyu stood up and said calmly: "I can pack up and go home, but I have to explain things clearly. Factory manager, you can't be indiscriminate and believe in one-sidedness. After all, I'm a farmer, and I'm begging for nothing to do this temporary job. I just want to earn some money. I don’t have such a high level of awareness, I take care of the "workers and peasants alliance". I beat the black bear, but it was a female farmer who beat a male farmer, and the Public Security Bureau didn’t bother to care about it. Everyone stepped on the uneven road, Ma Chenggong came with me, he was bullied, and I couldn’t watch the fun. Also, the factory manager, the regular workers are not the royal money earned by the ancestors, and the cadre’s daughter doesn’t have four nostrils. Eye! The cotton processing factory belongs to the Communist Party, and it is not your family’s ancestral property. I entered the factory with a letter of introduction. You can’t dismiss me with a word. If you let me go, I won’t go. gone."

Li Zhigao stood up with a pale face, maybe it was excitement, maybe it was fear that made his voice shrill and thin: "Fang Biyu can't leave... She played well! She played well! She played like a temporary worker. Temporary workers are not sweet potatoes boiled in your pot. You can squeeze them as you like. I have finished my speech." Someone yelled a line from a model play in a strange voice: "Old Nine can't go!" Many people shouted: "Old Nine can't go!" I also yelled. The factory manager was so angry that his whole body was fat and trembling, he slapped his buttocks and said:

"Turn against you! Against you!" "Let's quit, let's be so useless, don't treat us temporary workers as human beings!" Someone loudly incited. Seeing that things were not good, the secretary of the branch quickly smoothed things over and said: "Fang Biyu insisted on justice, was not afraid of big black men, dared to fight and win, taught the bad guys a lesson, and showed the prestige of the cotton processing factory, which is basically a good thing. The factory manager said that he was just a joke to scare you and wanted you to be fired. Stop fighting with men, for fear that you will suffer. Temporary workers, regular workers, including the children of cadres, are all class brothers from all corners of the country and have come together for a common revolutionary goal. We must be united and not divided, and we must be aboveboard and not engage in conspiracy. This is the end of today's meeting, Fang Biyu, don't think too much, work hard and the factory won't treat you badly. Let's end the meeting, let's end the meeting."

Fang Biyu bowed to the branch secretary and said: "The world is not as big as your kindness, thank you." My uncle said that the secretary of the branch came back to the office and gave the factory manager a scolding, saying that he almost caused a big mess, and we would all be unlucky if there was a strike this year.The factory manager said that Fang Biyu was really not a fuel-efficient lamp. My uncle scolded me for being useless, dog shit can't smear a wall, a dead cat can't support a tree, and I'm born to be a strong material. Two days later, "Iron Hammer" said to me:

"Ma Chenggong, you don't need to weigh the weight anymore, go to the leather roller workshop to find Director Guo, and you will be in charge of him from now on." Director Guo is a pockmarked half-old man, a regular worker.He can sing Peking Opera "Su Sanqi Jie", bang bang bang bang bang bang!There are also gongs and drums.Director Ma said: "Little brother, carry the big basket."
