Chapter 45 Section 45

Mozi’s family did not have a book of quotations from Chairman Mao, Tianbu and Zaohuo’s homes did not have a book of quotations from Chairman Mao, and those who were busy firing kilns in the kilns did not have a book of quotations from Chairman Mao. A bad wind knocked down a corner of the dried slabs that were hanging on the soil field. Fortunately, it didn't rain, so the lantern guard and pendulum smashed the glazed stones, and after the slurry was made, it was poured through a sieve into the glazed vat to make it stale. The white glaze was made, and the unweathered loess was also poured with water, stirred and sieved, and aged in another vat to make a black glaze.It has been three days, and it is sunny again. Dongsheng puts the glaze basin on the billet and dips the bottoms of the billets into the glaze basin one by one.Dongsheng is very proficient in doing this work, and even deliberately exaggerated a series of movements such as slick, stop, rinse, puff, and lift.Lizhu didn't know these jobs, but he couldn't understand Dongsheng's arrogance, so he took a cigarette bag and went to the shed door to guard the lights.Keeping the lamp on the white porcelain, first applied a layer of make-up clay, quickly drew patterns on the make-up clay, and then applied transparent glaze while it was wet. He was wearing a straw hat, and his face was still black and red from the sun. And the skin on the arms is peeling.Lizhu said: Shou Deng, you are not a member of the Hammer team? Shou Deng said: Who would let me in if I miss someone? Li Zhu said: Oh, you have a high grade, I am confused.But he said: You always say that class enemies are doing sabotage. Haven't I seen you doing any sabotage?Shou Deng said: Then you don't know, if you are not here, I will kick this adobe down.Why did that monster wind blow so hard? I made it blow.Li Zhu laughed and said: I have already distributed Xiaohongshu, and I can’t read, so you should be the one who should distribute it.Keeping the lamp silent, sweat dripped from his forehead and into his eyes, he couldn't see anything, and with the billet in his hand, he said: Come here, come here.When Li Zhu came over, he stretched out his face and rubbed against Li Zhu's shoulder, and opened his eyes.He said: work hard.But Lizhu said: Mozi is not the captain, and the branch secretary is out of business. You say this... Keep the lamp to get the blank slabs, and prepare to transport the semi-finished products in the blank room to be loaded into the kiln.

There used to be seven or eight hole kilns in the kiln field, but they were all so dilapidated that they were no longer used. There was only this horseshoe kiln.The pendulum has been installed in the kiln there.Shou Deng moved the bowl blank to the kiln door, put it in the sagger, and handed it to the pendulum in the kiln. The pendulum was set in the middle at the bottom of the kiln bed, leaving a fifteen-centimeter lane, and set it up. For the old line, the bowls are arranged in sequence along the back wall at both ends, so as to retreat to the fire platform of the kiln bed.From the middle alley to the entrance of the kiln, a medicinal season seed is planted in the middle of each floor.It is installed straight to the height of the kiln arch ring, and the hatchback gradually becomes a circle and falls down.The pendulum said to Shou Deng, "Has the mud been reconciled?" Shou Deng then looked towards the east side of the yard, but the good man had disappeared.

The good man first carried the slabs of bowls, pans, and urns for a long time. After the transportation was over, Baizi arranged for him to go to the sidelines to make mud.Lizhu and Shoudeng didn't talk to each other, their stomachs were suffocated, and they came over to talk to the good man about the village affairs. Seeing the good man mixed up the pile of mud and passed it, they were still muttering, so they said: Rest here, dog days are lazy to keep the lights, you are so honest! Is the mud of the fire-sealing platform necessary to mix it carefully? The good man stopped mixing the mud, and the two of them went to the cave where the billets were dried It's cold.The good man said: Do you have to do well in whatever you do?Lizhu said, "Your way is not in the mud, right?" The good man said, "How can there be no way?" The way is not obtained all at once, but awakened bit by bit.When I was making mud just now, I asked and answered myself, asking myself: Why do I work? Answering myself: To live.Ask again: Why do you live? Answer again: To feed people.Ask again: Why support people? Answer again: To practice the Way.When I think about it carefully, the Tao is completely wrong, but the person is wrong.The way is the way of heaven, everyone has it, and it has not been separated from people. People also have their roots. If you always think about your own roots, you can get it.It's like a bean. Once it has a seedling, it must be pulped upwards to make the bean into a fine grain.Lizhu said: "Oh, I dare not ask you a question, and if I ask you, you will say what you say."The good man said: Do you want to spread the Tao to the outside world? If you don’t spread it, you will bear the great crime of the world.Li Zhu said: Hey, let me ask you, do you know about the hammer team? The good man said: How can you not know! Li Zhu said: Then how do you see this? The good man said: Will, mind, heart, and body.Lizhu said: I don't understand this.The good man said: People often say that there are three roads on the Naihe Bridge, one is gold, the other is silver, and the other is Huangquan Road.To be a person with will is gold, to be a person with intention is silver, to use body and mind to do things, is to embark on the road to hell.Zhijie people are like spring, they only talk about hair growth; Yijie people are like summer, they talk about tolerance and cultivation, so that all things can grow and flourish; people in the heart world are like autumn, they only talk about selfishness, and they don’t care about others, so they get mixed up Eight falls, people in the physical world are like winter, they only talk about destruction and looting.As I often say, the two realms of mind and mind are for building the world, and the two realms of mind and body are for destroying the world.The seeds are very successful, they can be planted in the ground, and they grow very vigorously, but in autumn, they become weeds, and the weeds will fall to the ground first when the harvest comes, and the land will be desolate in the coming year.What the world cares about is the seeds of failure.Lizhu said: Good man, according to what you said, people are all weeds now? Joint fingers are all weeds? Tyrants are weeds? The good man said: Whether they are weeds depends on the use of will, mind, heart and body Which word becomes the Tao.Li Zhu said: You said he can’t get things done by bullying? The good man said: Isn’t he making things right now? Li Zhu said: Then the hammer team has to join? The good man said: That’s your business.Li Zhu said: Ten years ago, I saw that the dog was not lying on the ground. That year, Bu Ta and Niu Ling made a feng shui quarrel for building the house, so they used shovels. If someone died, everyone else would go. Persuasion, Ba Trough was picking up manure, he didn't try to persuade him, suddenly threw the manure basket on the ground, and said: I must be a special person! At that time, everyone was looking at him, and they didn't know what he was talking about.Thinking about it now, did he really look down on the villagers?You know, he and Xing Kai are on good terms, and Xing Kai almost made her sick because of him. He used to wish he could worship Xing Kai as a god, but there was a series of accidents on the road, and he didn't even care about Xing Kai. I saw Xing Kai begging him to answer her with a big bow, but he said: From now on, I can no longer play house for you! See now, he really caused trouble, and the limelight overwhelmed the mill and the branch secretary, dog day You have ambition! The good man said: Is it ambition or the heart? The column said: Heart? The good man still wants to talk, and he keeps the lamp and calls the good man's clay to reconcile?

The good man hurriedly came out of the blank-drying cave to say reconciliation, and pushed the mud shovel into the cart twice.The pendulum said, "You didn't see that you were in a hurry to use mud. You shouted twice and said no, and went to rest!" The good man said, "Let me talk about the pillar."The pendulum said: What are you talking about, what are you talking about?! So he used mud to block the gap between the pillars at the mouth of the fire platform. The kiln is exquisite, and the handle is only a pendulum. Dongsheng and the column can't control the heat.Shou Deng has always wanted to learn, but he has a high level of talent and can only do some casting and glazing work, and the good man can only do chores.After the mud blocked the gaps between the pillars at the mouth of the fire platform, the lampkeeper and the good man spread the lumps of coal all over the bottom of the combustion chamber, and built a small pile of wheat straw, hard firewood, and good flammable coals in the middle. Okay mother fire.Keeping the lamp stood under the stove shed on the top of Huidao and asked Baizi: Can you light the wheat straw under the mother fire? After the pendulum installed the kiln, he drank water outside the kiln. He said, "What's the hurry, you did this." ?His eyes turned towards the mud pool in the distance, but he looked at the entrance of the kiln.The lantern guard whispered: "Slant-eyed ghost, isn't he just lighting a kiln fire? You're coaxing me!" The kind man said: "Don't say a few words, he has a bad temper."Shou Deng said: We are easy to bully, that's why he spoiled his temper.Alas, we are not blessed by God, and all we meet are ghosts! The good man said: God can help people, and ghosts can also help people. The negative help is stronger, so don't get angry.Shou Deng said: Who else can I be angry with? I am angry with myself.He raised his voice and said to the outside of the kiln: I know, didn’t I let you loose the smoke! After leaving the kiln, I went to the cave where I rested to get my own cigarette case, and grabbed a handful of cigarette powder for the pendulum. .Baizi laughed and said: There are rules for what to do, you are not a bully, you can do everything you want? Keep the lamp and said: "Okay, okay, you rest today, I can go to light the mother fire now, kiln The bottom is burning red, and the small fire lights up the alley. You go to add firewood and coal.I will never disrupt, nor will I steal your role.Baizi said, "If you don't respect the kiln god, just burn it?" Keeping the lamp said, "When did you burn the kiln before respecting the kiln god?"I had a dream last night. I dreamed of eating persimmons. I was in a panic all day. We have to go to worship the kiln god, or the kiln will burn out, and you are responsible?! Keep the lamp and strike a match and bow your head to give He lit the cigarette, lit the cigarette, and the match was still burning. He grinned and wanted to throw the match on the hair of the pendulum, but he didn't throw it, and blew it out in one breath.

The good man pretended not to see the action of the lantern guard, nor listen to what the pendulum said to the lantern guard. The more he wore the straw hat, the hotter it became, so he took off the straw hat, and stood bald under the sun.Lizhu came over with his gown on, rubbed his hands on his waist, and said, "Are you sweating?" The good man said, "Sweaty."Li Zhu said: What has changed this person? Everything can be dried in the sun, but the sweat can’t be dried in the sun. Everything can be wiped off, but the dirt on his body is getting more and more rubbed! Grab the smoke.Shou Deng looked back, but did not allow the post to catch him, and snatched the cigarette case and put it in his arms.The pillar said: Isn't it just some tobacco powder? Keeping the lamp said: It is some tobacco powder, but the smoke powder is mine.The pillar caught fire, and cursed: Hey, it’s yours, what else do you have? Doesn’t your house have a front yard, a waist yard and a back yard? Don’t you have hundreds of acres of paddy fields and dry land? Keeping the lamp said: I have these tobacco powders !Dongsheng came over and said: "It's not interesting, isn't it just for a handful of tobacco powder? You are so rare for a handful of tobacco powder for the column? Is the handful of tobacco powder for you keeping the lamp worth gold and silver?" Suddenly he dropped his cigarette box, and the cigarette dust fell on the ground. He kicked dirt on it, kicked the dirt and stomped on it again, until the dirt turned into smoke.Keeping the lamp lost his nerve, everyone was choked by the earthy smoke, and they didn't speak any more.The good man put the straw hat on his head again, twisted his neck and looked towards the house on the top of the mountain. The branches and leaves of the white bark pine are flourishing for a while, which are the inhabited countless birds, and all the leaves are gone for a while, only a few dead branches are left .Clouds fell one by one towards the mountain temple, like throwing a handkerchief.

After he had finished eating, he knocked the pot on the sole of his shoe (口邦)(口邦)(口邦), and when the knock was over, he pinned the pot to his trouser waist, got up and walked down the mountain without saying a word.Dongsheng followed, Zhuzhu followed, and Dengshou finally followed, but the good man did not move.Dongsheng turned around and said, "Aren't you going to worship the kiln god?" Lizhu said, "Really go to worship the god? It's become a public house there, and everything has been smashed."Dongsheng said: The temple is gone, but the god is still there.The good man followed.

The gate of Yaoshen Temple was open, and the towering figure-eight-shaped brick carvings on both sides of the front couplet had been smashed. The five people first kowtowed in the small ancestral hall next to the east wing of the gate, and then kowtowed in the small ancestral hall next to the west wing. , and then went to the back hall, the door was locked, they knelt down on the steps together, muttering in their mouths, kowtowed, and everyone kowtowed.The three slammed their heads and kowtowed, and the pendulum leaned on the crack of the door to look in, but couldn't see clearly. He turned his face to the side and looked again, but still couldn't see clearly. He said to Dongsheng: "Do you remember the statues in the temple before? Dongsheng said :Remember.Dongsheng remembers that ten years ago, the gods of earth and mountains were enshrined in the east ancestral hall, and the bull king and horse king were enshrined in the west ancestral hall.The reason for the land and mountain gods is that soil was taken from the mountains to make pottery, and the reason for the cattle and horse kings was that the transportation of goods in the past depended on the power of cattle, horses and animals.In the main hall, there is also the main god who sits firmly in the crown of the dragon, Yu Shun who is pottery by the river, the Taishang Laojun who is in charge of fire in the east chamber, and Yegong, the first person to make bowls in Gulu Village, in the west chamber.But these statues were destroyed when the branch secretary led the people.Baizi said: The thing is very strange. Anyone who wants to be a village cadre smashes the kiln temple.Dongsheng said: Where is Bacao a village cadre? Baizi said: Look at his posture, he is not trying to be a village cadre.Dongsheng said: Whoever smashes it again, why no one said that this kiln is not burning?! Whoever is a village cadre can’t do without you! Baizi said: Do you remember that Yu Shun has an iron chain behind his waist? Dongsheng Say: I don't remember that.Baizi said: There is an iron chain. It is said in the previous generation that the kiln god once turned into a big white snake and swam out of the temple gate.The good man said: I have only seen the temple.The pendulum said: You just lived in the temple.The good man said: Hey, my life should also be the way of firing kilns.Baizi glared at the good man, but he didn't stare at the good man, and said: The people who watched the temple hugged the kiln god and invited the kiln god back to the temple. A chain is attached to the idol.Shou Deng said: You mean, you are now the kiln god of Gulu Village, and no one dares to do anything to you? Baizi said: What does Gulu Village rely on now, is it to ask for money from the kiln? ?Follow me well, people like you, how can you survive without the kiln! Keeping the lamp, oh, but walked outside the gate of the courtyard, he gave the good man a look, and the good man followed.Shou Deng said: He really regarded him as a god! He seemed to hear him in the yard, and said: What are you talking about, don’t you just have some culture, do you think you can be a master if you have writing and ink? Who will let you be the master? You are really a class enemy!

However, Bai Zi didn't expect that after the kiln fire was lit, the temperature of the fire would increase rapidly, and the seasoning seeds in Yaozhong Lane would fall down one by one. Seal the kiln. The Hammer team sealed up the three husband's houses that had already been sold. The reason was that the sale was tricky, and it was the result of the village cadres turning public affairs into private.They also checked the accounts of selling porcelain goods for many years. Porcelain goods are the only way to make money in the village. How much is sold each year, the accounts have not been made public, whether there is corruption in it, and who is corrupt.The closure of the original public house and the need to check the accounts of porcelain goods all involve the interests of everyone in Gulu Village. Over the years, many people have doubts and opinions but dare not speak them out.Bacao's doing this is more favorable than him leading people to smash roofs, stone lions and mountain gates. I am secretly grateful and worried.Fortunately, Gou Ri's Bacao's wings have hardened, and there are no one who dared to look for the branch secretary. I am also worried that Zhu Dagui, who has been the party secretary for more than ten years, will tolerate Bacao's doing like this? They will discuss in groups after closing the door at night Then, pretending nothing happened during the day, they met each other in the alleyway, and said: Is there anything wrong in the village? ——What’s the matter? ——Just as long as there’s nothing wrong.Probing and teasing, he didn't say anything, but stared at the secretary's yard.

The courtyard door of the branch secretary’s house was open, and the rooster was lying on the threshold. A group of hens found an earthworm at the bottom of the doorway, and two chickens each held one end of the earthworm in their mouths and pulled it into a thread. In the past few days, no one has been to the branch secretary's house, not even passing by the gate of the courtyard.It is said that to get water from the spring, he had to pass by the door of Zhishu’s house to get to his house, but he had to go around an alley, and was about to go into the alley when he heard a cough and looked up to see a small wind swirling at the door of Zhishu’s house. , as if dancing, the branch secretary came out from the courtyard gate, came out to look at the little whirlwind, and the little whirlwind was gone.Desheng hurriedly got into the alley, splashing water all the way.

Three days ago, the branch secretary's son came back from Luo Town again without bringing his unmarried wife. He stayed at home for three days, and the branch secretary didn't go out for three days. Yes, the branch secretary went out but went to Bacao's house.The branch secretary took the initiative to tell Bacao that he had no objection to the closure of the original public house. If the revolutionary masses questioned the sale of the public house, he could not buy it.At the same time, he brought the account books of porcelain goods, and said: I have brought all these account books, how much was sold, and everything was written on it. I am willing to accept the review.I have been a party secretary for more than ten years. The masses have reason to doubt, and I will never object. If there is a problem, I will correct it. If there is no problem, I will encourage me in my future work!

After Bacao received the keys to the public house and a large pile of ledgers, he sat at his desk and wrote something. He didn't call the branch secretary like he did last time, and he didn't even say a word about you sitting down.The branch secretary just stood there, watching Bacao write.Ba Cao wrote half a page, raised his head, but said: Do you still have something to do? The branch secretary said: It's all right.Bacao said: Then you go.Gave him a stack of leaflets.The branch secretary turned around and walked to the door, then turned around and asked if I could give him a copy of Chairman Mao's quotations? Bacao said yes, and gave him a copy.When the branch secretary went, he was sweating a lot, so he hung the jacket he was wearing on the door knocker, but he forgot to take it out when he left, and said arrogantly, "Put on the jacket."The branch secretary hurriedly came to pick up his jacket, sat on the thumping stone in the yard rubbing the mud between his toes, only glanced at him, and didn't say anything. As soon as the branch secretary left, Bacao came out and stretched himself on the steps, and said confusedly: When he went out, he didn’t tease the branch of the apple tree. He used to be tall, why did he become so low? Bacao said: Is that so? Confusedly said: He is just short up.Did he bring the account book for selling porcelain goods? You asked him to bring the account book and he brought it?! Bacao said: I didn’t ask him to take it, so he brought it.He looked at Bacao in a daze, and said: You can do it very well, Bacao! Bacao said: You can still do it...Suddenly I want to sneeze, but I can't sneeze, and all the facial features on my face have shifted.Confusedly said: Look at the sun, look at the sun and hit it! Bacao looked up at the sun, the sun was like a hedgehog in mid-air, ahhh, sneezing came out, saliva splashed on Dazzy's face, and Bacao heard Bacao at the same time He said two more words: back. The next day, the hammer team went to the kiln and extinguished the fire. The branch secretary handed in the account book, the key to the husband's house was returned, and the burning kiln was sealed off. The villagers knew that Gulu Village was no longer the old Gulu Village, and more people came to join the hammer team.Joining the hammer team, I wrote my name in black and white to be posted on the big-character poster. One day, Niu Ling's name was also written on it, and Niu Ling had a hammer with red paint.
