Ba Cao and the others broke the old rules in Gulu Village, but no one came out to object.The reason seems to be clear: if Bacao is doing it secretly, it is his personal behavior, and he is destroying, but Bacao smashes and burns things openly. Can he do this without a background? Since he has a background, according to past experience, this is another movement Here we go again, when there is movement, you have to keep your eyes open and walk along, otherwise you will be unlucky. This is like a strong wind, and all the plants and trees have to crawl. Can you not wear cotton clothes in winter?

Changkuan went to Dechengjia to renovate the pots and stoves early in the morning. The pots and stoves were newly made in spring, but after the new pots and stoves were installed, they always came to Hetan and Xichuan Village. Relatives came to eat every time. After a while, I suspected that the orientation of the new pot and stove was not right, so I had to re-pan it again in length and width.Chang Kuan installed the stove and was climbing up to the top of the kitchen to build the chimney. Dai Hua came running to tell him to go back quickly, saying that the leader of Bacao was shouting at the west end of the village to hand over the four olds.Chang Kuan said: Who is the fourth uncle? Dai Hua said: It is the four old things, the old things are old! Chang Kuan said: Why are there four old things? I bought a silver collar, and... Changkuan said: I have to pay it? Dai Hua said: I have to pay everything I say, and anyone who doesn’t pay it is not revolutionary, counter-revolutionary.The length and width were tense, and the chimney was half built before going home.He put the old vase on the cabinet at home with a feather duster in it and put it in the yard. He also put an old-fashioned shoehorn and the top of the mosquito net in the yard. Ruyi, a piece of carved chicken wing wood, was taken out and placed in the yard, thinking that these things should be taken out early, and once someone comes to collect them, they will be taken away, so as not to be rummaged through.However, no one came for a while, and she took Ruyi back to the house to hide. It was not appropriate to hide anywhere. Dai Hua said that she would not burn the kang, so she put it in the kang hole, and the courtyard door rang.Changkuan hurriedly stuffed Ruyi in, ran out by himself, and said, "Who, who is it?" But the voice came.As soon as the courtyard door opened, the voice came from Chang Kuan, who was stunned for a moment, and said: Ah Chang Kuan! He took out a cigarette in his right pocket, took out a dirty handkerchief, put it in, took it out in his right pocket, and took out a handkerchief. A handful of coins.Changkuan said: What are you taking out? The voice said: Ah, I will take out cigarettes for you.Changkuan said: You know I don't smoke.The voice said: Oh, no work? The length and breadth said: The production team did not work today.The voice calmed down, and his legs flicked. He usually flicked his legs when he stood there. He said: "Who in the village is having a wedding and funeral, why are you making such a fuss?"I looked out of the door with my eyes, and said in a low voice: Come on, you have traveled across the state and counties, are other places dilapidated, four old? ?I thought it was Mazihei's home.Changkuan said: Mazihei is so poor that the light is knocking on the edge of the kang, what four old things does he have? The voice said: He poisoned and killed people, so why not copy it! Changkuan let the voice into the courtyard, and the voice looked at the yard , I didn't see Dai Hua, I guess Dai Hua was in the room, and coughed a few times in the throat.Lai Sheng was seated on a long and wide stool, and suddenly became suspicious, saying: What did you say just now, what happened to Mazihei? Laisheng said: Mazihei has been poisoned, don’t you know? Said: The case is solved?! The voice told how he heard about Ma Zihei's arrest in Luo Town, and Changkuan first thought of telling the branch secretary about it.

Changkuan then called Dai Hua, but Dai Hua didn't come out for a while, and when she came out, her hair was combed bald.Chang Kuan said: Are you combing your hair in the house? Dai Hua said: Oh, the voice is coming, do you bring an awl? The voice said: Bring an awl.Chang Kuan said: Ma Zihei has been arrested, it was Mazihei who poisoned Uncle Huanxi.Dai Hua said: I guess it's Mazihei.Changkuan said: You can do it. Why didn’t you tell me when the case was not solved? Dai Hua said: Director Wang talked to me, and I said that it was probably Mazihei who did it. Mazihei didn’t want to harm Uncle Huanxi. He wanted to kill Mozi, but Uncle Huanxi died and died for Mozi, wouldn't Director Wang believe it?Changkuan said, "Okay, okay, if you can, I'll go find the branch secretary. You wait at home to collect the old things. If you come, give these things to them."Dai Hua said: "This shoehorn is made of cupronickel. I can't bear it. I want to give your wood Ruyi to others."Changkuan said: You are fainted, what kind of wood is Ruyi?! Dai Hua didn't say a word.

As soon as Changkuan walked away, the sound of the voice stabbed Dai Hua in the waist, and Dai Hua said, "I'll hold the bottle, don't hit it."But the sound still put his arms around his waist, and said hurriedly: "Give me your mouth, give me your mouth!" There were footsteps outside the courtyard again, and Chang Kuan Er turned around and came in, saying: "Come on, I'll go tell the branch secretary." Ma Zihei has been arrested, the party secretary will definitely not believe it, so let's go together.The voice was hesitant to go, so Dai Hua took the awl from the basket and said, "Either eat or go?" Changkuan said, "What are you going to eat? Can we tell the secretary in time if we know this big thing?!" The two went out, and Dai Hua leaned on the door frame and said: "It's fine if you don't eat it, but if you don't eat the buns, keep them in the cage!"

The branch secretary boils a can of strong tea to drink after getting up in the morning. This has been a habit for almost twenty years.People in Gulu Village don't have a tradition of drinking tea. They say that they drink tea, but they just put some bamboo leaves in the water. Only the branch secretary drinks old scented tea.Although it is an aged scented tea, it pays attention to boiling. Use an empty tin can and attach a wire handle to make a boiling pot. Put the tea into the water and boil on the fire until only two or three mouthfuls can be poured out of the box. Juice, the chopsticks can drop the line when dipped, and the tea is considered to be boiled.If you drink these two or three sips of tea, you will be refreshed all day long. If you don't drink it for a day, your legs will be so heavy that you can't move it.He had just drank tea, and his son came back from the spring to fetch water, and said that the tyrants were making a fuss about breaking the four olds, so he put on his clothes, and the son said: What are you doing? He said: Let me take a look, this big Why don't you say anything about it?! The son said: Bacao must be following the example of Luo Town, you let him make a fuss.He said: Do we still need order? I am still alive and in the village, so they are like this? And Kaishi? Well, when his wife gave birth to a baby, I also asked the production team to make rice for his family to make wine. The hearts of the whole village are in a mess, and he smashes and closes them, poking people's hearts into chaos?! The son said: The town is in such a mess, Secretary Zhang doesn't care, what do you care? He said: You nonsense, Isn’t this a matter of the Communist Party? The son said: This is the Cultural Revolution. Chairman Mao made the Cultural Revolution. Why isn’t it a matter of the Communist Party? , What do you do? He felt that what his son said was reasonable, but he was always unwilling to reconcile, saying: I am sure they are going to be wrong, so let them expose! It’s just that he smashed the stone lion arrogantly, what did he want to do? I stood there for the lion during the land reform. He smashed the pill in the stone lion’s mouth. Did he want me to stop protecting the village, or did he want to take charge of Gulu Village? They were talking, and someone shouted Branch secretary, it sounded like he was following.The son said: Daddy, no matter how angry you are, you have to hold back in front of people at this time.He didn't make a sound, let out a long breath, and asked his son to give him the towel, and the son gave him the towel, and he tied it on his head, saying: "Whoever comes, say I'm sick."

The son opened the door and led him into the upper room, where he sat on the kang with a handkerchief on his head.Afterwards, I asked the Bacao group what was going on when they smashed the stone lions and smashed the people on the mountain gate, and asked each family to hand over the four olds. What's going on.Then he said: Ba Cao is not a village cadre, not an old man in the village, and he is not an activist. Even if he is engaged in a movement, he will not be able to get ahead! The party secretary said: Has the Cultural Revolution happened?Then he said: How much culture does Bacao have? He has not enough ink in his belly. He is a cultural revolution?The branch secretary's son gave the branch secretary a wink, and the branch secretary said: "Follow me, I heard that I was hit by the baby and made it big?" Then he said: "I hit it, and it made a dog pee moss."The party secretary said: If a dog peeing moss can be a boss, you just let the bully make trouble.Then he said: I think he is ambitious.The branch secretary said: What kind of ambition does he have? Then he said: Does he want to be the captain if he assumes the title like this? The branch secretary smiled and said: You, you! After one pot after another, I coughed first.The son said: Daddy, you are sick, eat less cigarettes.The branch secretary snorted, and he stopped pretending to be sick, and the hookah still made the sound of snoring.At this time, Changkuanhe knocked on the door again, and the branch secretary's son opened the door again, saying: Is it another matter of breaking the four olds? If you want to talk about breaking the four olds, don't tell me. sick.Changkuan said: "It's bigger than breaking the four old things. The poisoning case was solved. It was Mazihei who threw it. He has been arrested!" The branch secretary said on the kang: "What are you talking about, Changkuan, come in and say it."Chang Kuan and Lai Sheng entered the room to meet the branch secretary and told about the arrest of Ma Zihei. The branch secretary put down the hookah and laughed hahaha, saying, "It's all right, it's all right! Everyone doesn't know it's all right now." What, the party secretary said to the back: You go and call Mo Zi, there are not many people who want to be the captain, isn’t it possible to be Ma Zihei and Mozi? When he caught him, wouldn't there be only mills left?! Then he said: Everyone must choose mills.The branch secretary said: There is no need to choose, I will appoint him immediately!

As soon as the news of Mazihei's arrest spread, the people of Gulu Village began to scold Mazihei for their mother-in-law.Two muddy footprints were stepped on the courtyard door of Mazihei's house. The footprints reached the upper half of the door leaf. The person who stepped on it may have stepped back a few steps facing the door leaf, and then jumped up and stepped on it.Later, the lock was turned, and the deadbolt fell off, leaving a pile of shit on the threshold, though no one got in.Mozi and his wife rolled out the noodles in the fastest time. They took a bowl specially, mixed it with fishy oil, and put a root of spinach on it, just like offering cold noodles at the ancestral grave on Qingming Festival. Same, brought it to Huanxi's grave.They were telling Uncle that the case was finally solved, the murderer paid for his life, and he, Ma Zihei, would definitely be shot soon.After telling the uncle, the couple shared the bowl of noodles they had contributed, and came back from the Pogen cemetery without saying a word, and walked to the big nianpan in the east of the village. What is the taste of the noodles? Mozi said: I only ate it, but didn't taste it.The daughter-in-law said: I don't have any muscle strength at all, so I'm so dull.Mo Zi said: Oh, it is my uncle who has appeared. He has eaten noodles.What's more, I saw Kanxing, Youliang's daughter-in-law, Laocheng and Baizi coming from the dirt road beside the garden, all carrying three or four Chinese cabbages in their arms.Kanxing threw a cabbage to Mozi and said: This one is for you! Mozi said: Why are you willing to do it today?! Kanxing said: This is Mazihei’s private plot. Others are not allowed to come back, so let’s pull his cabbage. Eat! The mill’s face changed completely, and he said: I don’t want it, it’s disgusting to eat! Kanxing said: Let’s eat it as his bones! The mill took the cabbage, put it on the ground, and chopped it like crazy .His hand was a machete, with his five fingers close together, it was extremely sharp, and he chopped the whole cabbage in half at once.Still chopping, chopping non-stop, the cabbage became a pile of dregs, and the dregs splashed around.Mazihei's house is also an old house. His grandfather once opened a porcelain shop in Luo Town. There is a stone slab embedded in the gate of the courtyard, engraved: senior family.After Bacao learned that Mazihei had been arrested, he immediately decided that it was also the Four Olds, and he and Baldy Jin pried it off with a steel drill and smashed it.When smashing it, the gourd said: "A bare stone slab can be used to beat Hu Ji."Tian Ya said: Well smashed, he is a scumbag who harms people, so let’s smash his house! Bacao said: Not only smashed his house, but also smashed all the four old things.Tian Ya said: Are they all smashed?! Bacao didn't say any more, he took the eight-pound hammer and bald Jin and walked along the alley. Looking at a small stone pier, he walked over and hit the hammer, but the hammer bounced, making him take a few steps back.Tian Ya said from behind: Is this also a smash?! Bacao said: This is a stele of the old society, engraved with Taishan stone, dare to block it, who is it to block? Another blow.The hammer broke the stone pier in two.

On the evening of that day, Mo Zi became the captain.The branch secretary wrote on a piece of red paper that Mo Zi was appointed as the team leader based on extensive consultation with the members and the masses after research and decision by the party branch, and posted it at the entrance of the Yao Temple. It was hung on the persimmon tree in front of Mozi's house. Mozi is good at doing farm work. The corn in Gulu Village has basically been planted, and half of the seedlings have been planted. On the one hand, he arranged for some people to plant the last seedlings, and on the other hand, he organized more labor to go to Yijiao Ridge. Unclog the drains.The reason why Gulu Village can grow rice in a bend of the river is because of that canal, and the entrance of the canal under Yijialing is to build a stone platform in the river channel to raise the water level, so that the water can be brought in. But from last winter to this summer, Yijialing collapsed several times, and soil and rocks blocked a section of the canal. Although a temporary support canal was built next to it, after all, the support canal is narrow and the flow is limited.Mozi will clean up the blocked original channel again after the party secretary agrees.The soil and rocks in the original canal were finally dug up. In order to prevent further landslides on the cliff, the north weir of the canal needed to be raised, and more stones had to be moved from the root of the mountain opposite the Zhou River.First, after two days of moving, everyone was passive and slowed down because the Bacao gang didn’t come to lift the stones. Those who should lift the big stones lifted the small stones, and those who could lift three times only lifted one time, and complained and complained constantly.

Mozi didn't ask Bacao's group to work and lift the rocks. His idea was that if he went to Bacao, there would be a quarrel, and if Bacao's group didn't come, he would lose face as the new captain. Do a good job, if the tyrants don't come, it will affect everyone's enthusiasm for work, so the workers' work points will be increased.He went to the root of the mountain opposite the Zhou River to inspect it, and counted each stone according to its size and weight. Whoever can carry these stones to the canal can record work points according to the numbers on the stones.Mo Zi asked Shui Pi to go with him to mark numbers on the stones, but Shui Pi refused to go, saying that he had to destroy the Four Olds, and only he could distinguish which were the Four Olds and which were not.The mill was on fire, and he said: "Break the four old things, can you satisfy the hunger and thirst? If the canal can't be repaired well, the seedlings can't be watered in the ground. You eat bricks and tiles!" Shuipi said: "Then tell the bully!" Say.Mo Zi said: What should I tell him, am I the captain or is he the captain? As soon as he was frightened, Shui Pi went away with Mo Zi, and marked the stones with numbers in red paint, and the members of the commune really became active, More stones were moved in one afternoon than in the past two days.

As soon as Shui Pi left, Kai Shi and Bald Jin panicked, because it was broken and old, and seeing other people's things being confiscated, burned and smashed was exciting and lively, but they had no work points, and people who carried stones And I can record more work points every day than in the past two or three days.Bacao went to Mozi and asked for work points for those who broke the four olds. Mozi disagreed, saying that he was just the captain, and the captain led the members to do farm work. Whoever did the farm work would be given work points, and whoever did not do it I can't remember the work points for farm work.Mozi is a stubborn person, and his eloquence is not good, but no matter what Ba Cao says, he still insists that he only cares about farm work and will not answer anything else.Bacao was so angry that he went to the branch secretary, and he said that Mozi was not worthy of being the captain, but why did he let Mozi be the captain? Who can still be the captain? Mazihei is quite capable of making troubles, so he went to prison! Bacao said: What do you mean by Mazihei? an example?Bacao said: You can let Mozi do it, but you can go outside to see, who doesn’t have the Cultural Revolution now, and the Cultural Revolution in Gulu Village is suppressed like this? The branch secretary said: Oh, Bacao, you have to talk Conscience, you broke the four olds and I suppressed it? He suppressed it with a mill? The mountain gate belongs to Gulu Village. You knocked down everyone on it, you smashed the mouth of the stone lion at the south entrance of the village, you smashed the kiln god The murals of the temple were shoveled, you smashed the Taishan stone, you burned the old things collected from many houses, do I object? If I don’t support it, you can do it like this, and the roar will start In Manshui, just a few of you were beaten to death! Bacao said: Who is going to punch? Chairman Mao made the Cultural Revolution, whoever dares to punch me, I will kill him! The party secretary said: Yes! Yes, as long as it is called by Chairman Mao, we will of course implement it. Isn’t my book a gun of Chairman Mao? There was no bullet in it! The party secretary started laughing and said: That’s not necessarily true, young man! He shouted to the next mansion: “Fuck, fuck, add two spoonfuls of water today, and cook rice for Bacao too, Use a big bowl to see who eats more! But there was no answer in the Xiaxia house. The branch secretary’s wife was chasing chickens that had climbed up the roof of Xiaxiazi, and then chased them to the yard and then up the wall, all over the place. chicken feathers.

Bacao hit hard punches, and the branch secretary responded with cotton bales. Bacao couldn't play with the branch secretary, so in the end he forced the branch secretary and said: I don't want to say anything else, I just ask you, do the broken four old people have work points? ?If there is no work point, people who break the four old ways will quit, and the Cultural Revolution is a dead end in Gulu Village, then I will go to Luo Town to file a lawsuit. If I can’t file a lawsuit in Luo Town, I will go to the county! Party secretary said: You scare me Hey, what are you suing me for? No one said that no work points will be given to those who break the four old rules. Is it my responsibility as the party secretary to starve to death in Gulu Village?But you also think about it, if you want to give work points to people who break the four old rules, who will lift stones to repair canals? Young man, seeing your drive, I think of someone.Bacao said: Who? The branch secretary said: Me! I made land reform when I was young, just like you are now! Bacao said: Then you don’t give work points to those who destroy the four old? Xiu, you have to shoulder two burdens, as a branch secretary, you have to consider the overall situation! How about this, leave two people for breaking the four old rules, and only give work points to two people, you count as one, see who else is needed? Bacao said: Just two people ?The party secretary said: first two people, and then gradually increase depending on the situation.Bacao said: You can trust Shui Pi, let Shui Pi do it.Dog pee moss legs frequently, let the dog pee moss also follow me.The branch secretary said: Goupimos is not from a good background, I don’t want to cause trouble for you. As soon as Bacao left, the branch secretary closed the door and yelled: What is it, negotiate with me! My son persuaded him: Did you let him make trouble? Wouldn’t he come to look for you if he made a fuss again? The branch secretary said: Oh, now Gulu Village Two horse mouths in one trough? He walked up to Chairman Mao's portrait and lit three sticks of incense, muttering incessantly: Chairman Mao, Chairman Mao, you want to start the Cultural Revolution, why didn't you tell the people in the lower branch earlier? What kind of product is Bacao, so that he can start a revolution? The son watched from the side and said: Big, big... The party secretary said: Bring me a bowl of syrup, my heart is very anxious! My son has filled it He gulped down a bowl of syrup, and sat there with tears in his eyes. In the days to come, people who carried stones and repaired canals carried stones and repaired canals. People wore straw sandals and shoulder pads on their shoulders. Cut a hole in the middle of the dog skin and put it around the neck.And the broken four olds are breaking the four olds, the weather is already very hot, the bully is still wearing a military cap, the water skin is still neatly dressed, a mask is hung around his neck, and the mask is stuffed into the third button of the jacket There, Bacao walks with big strides, waving ahead, but Shuipi keeps walking in small steps, rushing, and following closely, and his trousers are rubbed loudly.Bacao said: You took off that mask for me, we are now making a revolution, what does the mask look like? Shui Pi said: Then I don’t have a military cap.Bacao said: You can't wear a military cap if you have a small head, I'll give you a badge of Chairman Mao.Shuipi took off the mask, and asked Bacao for Chairman Mao's badge, but Bacao said that he didn't have it now, and he would give it to Shuipi when he got back the badge of Chairman Mao, which is dog pee moss. Goupitai didn't know that Bacao once wanted him to break the old, envied Shuipi, and hated Shuipi, and when Bacao asked him to take back Chairman Mao's badge, he was unwilling.Bacao said: Shui Pi is now a revolutionary, he should wear Chairman Mao's badge.Goupiamos said: He is a revolutionist, so why can’t I be a revolutionist? Bacao said: Are you from a bad family background?Goupiamos said, "Hey?! He opened his eyes wide and looked at Bacao.The reason why Goupiati is close to Bacao is that other people bully him, Bacao doesn’t bully him, and it turns out that Bacao thinks that he has a bad background! He was still angry when he was belittling him, so he tore off the badge of Chairman Mao on his chest, threw it on the ground resentfully, and turned away.Bacao was also stunned, and said: Broken (Bone Spring), Broken (Bone Spring), you dare to throw Chairman Mao away? When Bacao came to pick up the badge, he turned around and picked up the badge from the ground suddenly , ran away. Goupiamos swore that he would never go to the cabin to get close to Bacao again, hehe, let him want to go, he wanted me to go, so he went to carry the stone with Cow Bell.Others can lift big pieces, but they can only lift small ones. When wading across the river, the bottom of the shallow water in the river was covered with chaotic rocks, and their feet slipped due to carelessness. In a hurry, he lost someone else's knee, and his whole stomach was soaked in water.Carrying stones in deep water doesn’t feel heavy, but once out of the water, they tremble and walk unsteadily. Even Banxiang laughed: “Lifting such a small stone? I can carry it all by myself! But dog urine moss can step on turtles.” , the river beach in the north is a piece of sand, and there are often various small holes in the sand where water bubbles come out. He knows which kind of water hole has turtles under it, so he stepped on it with his feet, stepping on a hard cover, It turned out to be a turtle.Mimu didn't carry the stone with others, he used the cage to carry it by himself, and when he saw the dog's urine moss stepped on the turtle, he said: "Give me the turtle, and I will carry a stone for you."The dog urine moss said: Isn't it? Come here and I'll give it to you.He approached in a daze, but the dog urine moss raised his hand, and said, he threw the turtle into the river. After two days of lifting, the dog urine moss and the cowbell did not earn much work points, and the shoulder lifting pole was worn out. Heilai fell asleep like a pile of mud, did not wake up all night, and continued to pee on the kang.The mother-in-law refused to let him carry it. If he didn’t carry it and he didn’t have work points, the dog pee moss came up with an idea. He didn’t know Chinese characters, but he could recognize numbers. He found that the numbers written by Shui Pi on the stones were painted too heavily. It can be erased after a few days, so I carried the stone on my back to rest across the river in a daze, and while I was not paying attention, I erased the word 1 in the number of 10 division of labor with a blade of grass, and added another word on top of the word 0, which became the word 6 .Confusedly, he carried the stone on the weir, and said doubtfully: I saw it was spent? Why is it 10 points? How did it become 6 points? Ma Shao said: Everything in the village in your eyes should be yours! Confusedly said: Is your wife mine too? Just two people had a quarrel.After making fun of the confusion, the dog urine moss and the cow bell also changed the stone they lifted, changing the 3 points to 8 points, and carried them across the river for inspection and acceptance, and said back and forth: How can such a small stone be 8 points? Gou urine moss said: Is there anything wrong with what is written on the stone? Back and forth: Did you knock the big rock into small stones? The dog pee moss said: There is still a good way? Back and forth: I have done it like this before.But after checking their stones back and forth, there were no traces of beating, so they scored 8 points for work. Goupiamos was very proud, so he started to change it every time, changing 2 points to 6 points, and changing 6 points to 8 points. He said: Why am I so smart?! Then he put 4 points on a stone in the Added a word 1 to the front and turned it into 14 points. I carried it over, doubted it back and forth, and called the miller. The miller looked at it and scolded: What doubts are there? How big are the potatoes and how big are the pumpkins?! Ask who carried it? Yes, it was said back and forth that it was carried by dog ​​urine moss and cow bells.The dog pee moss and the cow bell were teasing the dog at the foot of the cliff not far away. It was the dog of Laoshun’s family. When the dog started to urinate on its legs, the dog pee moss and the cow bell wanted to pee too. It was compared to see who peed higher.Dog urine moss is higher than cowbell urine, and you can taste the salty urine by sticking out your tongue.Mozi called Goupiamo and said, "Come here!" Goupiamos passed, and Mozi slapped him on the head.Then he said to Cowbell, "Come here too!" Cowbell ran away, and Mozi slapped the dog's pee moss again, and said, "You stand next to him!"
