Chapter 4 Chapter Four Yin Daoyan

The surname of Li Bawan (changed to "Dongfanghong Brigade" during the "Cultural Revolution") was naturally the Li family.By the early 1950s, Li Bawan was already known as the "Eight Households of the Li Family", with a prosperous population and a large family.But it also caused trouble.During the period of cooperation, because of open and secret fighting among the Eight Households, no one with the surname Li could be elected as the village party secretary, but this historical responsibility fell on Yin Daoyan. The Yin family is an outsider, and they have an isolated surname in Li Bawan.Laozi Yin Daoyan took his wife and son out of his hometown in Jiangbei to escape debts. When Li Bawan fell ill, he never got up again.At that time, Yin Daoyan was still young and didn't know much about shit. Once Lao Tzu died, the orphans and widowed mothers would be in a desperate situation, so they stayed in Li Bawan.Yin Daoyan's mother is honest and diligent, and Li Bawan's wealthier families are willing to ask her to help.Because of the good reputation, everyone sympathized with them, so the patriarch spoke out to allocate some land for their mother and son to grow vegetables to survive.

At that time, I did not expect that this would become a political choice for Li Bawan people. Naturally, the village party branch is not a clan ancestral hall, which leader can be elected by everyone, but the decision needs to be made by the superior.The superiors elected and elected, and also selected Yin Daoyan as Li Bawan's party branch secretary. In 1949, during the suppression of bandits and rebellion, Yin Daoyan actively signed up as a militiaman in the county brigade.Let him guard the confiscated floating wealth, the gold and silver are delicate and soft, and they will never move.At night, in the family that piled up the floating fortune, the little wife sang opera through the wooden wall (before she married, she was a last-minute actress in the city):

Upstairs lights up downstairs, Arhat reached out to touch Guanyin. Touching Guanyin laughed, He is also the second immortal in the world. Immortals also do cheating, Is there no cheating in the world? It was obviously sung for Yin Daoyan.The opera singer was no more than two years older than Yin Daoyan, but the man was thirty years older than him, and he begged for too many concubines, which kept her hungry. Yin Daoyan already knew about human affairs at that time, and he also liked to listen to operas. When he sang there, his whole body seemed to be on fire. One night, the person who replaced him at midnight could not survive the sleepiness and fell asleep, so he lost the courage to let the actor into his wing.When he woke up in the morning, when he was dressing, he suddenly slipped out a silver bracelet from the rotten purse of his ragged cotton jacket.He was stunned for a moment, put the bracelet back into his purse, then carried the cotton jacket in one hand and cotton trousers in the other, braved the snow and went straight across the yard to the office of the working group without saying a word for a long time .

It took Gulu a long time before others finally figured it out: when he went to bed there was nothing in the purse of the padded jacket, but when he got up he had a silver bracelet. He didn't know how the bracelet got in, so he didn't dare to wear the padded jacket again.When asked why he didn't even wear cotton trousers, he said he didn't dare to wear them because he was afraid that there would be silver bracelets in his purse.Seeing that his naked body was blue from the cold, the people in the working group asked him to put on his clothes quickly. The matter was clear after investigation.

After many years, this experience has become one of Yin Daoyan's most glorious feats, and he often shows off in front of people: the first time I play meat, I fucked an actor in the city.Rich people use money to buy it to fuck, and I fuck it, and they pay for it.However, exercise is exercise, consciousness is necessary, the lower head is dizzy, and the upper head cannot be dizzy. However, Yin Daoyan did not reveal this fact at the time.The actor wanted to seduce him into the water because he was stealing money (naturally, no one would believe her words), but it shortened the man's death period.Within days afterward, her bully man was executed.Because of sabotage activities, the actor was also arrested and executed, and he was frightened crazy before he even arrived at the execution ground.

Yin Daoyan was promoted to the captain of the militia squadron after that.After the work of suppressing bandits and anti-hegemony was over, he returned to Li Bawan and was appointed as the secretary of the village party branch by the township party committee.Since then, he has not moved in this position for decades.He has performed very well in all periods.He was the leader of Li Bawan's first mutual aid group; the first president of the junior club.After the commune, he became the secretary of the brigade.Leading a team to participate in the county water conservancy battle, the weather was snowy and freezing, and the work was done before dawn, and it was not until midnight.Seeing that the progress was still not ahead of the curve, he took the lead and asked the entire brigade of men to take off their shirts and bare feet, wearing only a pair of shorts to conceal their shame, and went to the construction site to pick up earth carts.Later, a group of female commune members were asked to beat gongs and drums, shouting and chasing people away, until everyone was sweating profusely in the heavy snow.The slogan they shouted was: "Exert your strength, sweat profusely, don't exert your strength, and you're dead!" Some people who suffered from the cold and were weak in frame vomited blood and fell to the ground on the spot.Yin Daoyan asked people to carry these "useless" back to the work shed, lie down for a while, after a while, and then poured them on the construction site.Other brigades and even other communes also followed the example, but they couldn't survive after a few days.Only Yin Daoyan persisted to the end, leading the shirtless army to fight tenaciously.In the end, the progress of the project was ahead of the whole county.He worked so hard, the superiors naturally liked it.I once considered transferring him to be a national cadre, but before the transfer, there was a story.Li Bawan's two little cousins ​​who hadn't been together for a few years were fighting fiercely in private: one said that Secretary Yin never gave anything to make friends, but gave me a piece of incense (fragrant soap); the other said, nonsense, only send you?He gave me a champagne, have you seen it?At that time, a piece of incense was 10.9 cents; a piece of handkerchief was 2.4 cents.The latter, of course, has more reason to be proud.The former one became furious, and said with a stampede: Why should you pay her an extra five cents for this beheader!

So they made a fuss.Therefore, Yin Daoyan was not regarded as a state cadre, nor was he dismissed as the brigade secretary.Li Bawan couldn't do without this person.It's no wonder that the yellow hat came to engage in road teaching, and Yin Daoyan didn't take him seriously at all.When the yellow hat got out of the car, it was babbling, aggressive and domineering, and it made Li Bawan completely dark, as if there was no Communist Party or socialism here, so what did I, Lao Yin, become?Didn't he eat for decades for nothing?Fuck me!Is he a soldier?When suppressing bandits and rebelling against hegemony, Lao Tzu was the squadron leader, not earlier than he resisted US aggression and aided Korea?After holding a poker for a few days, I'm afraid I still don't know how to turn the fire, so work hard!Fuck me!If it weren't for the disobedience of the second child in my crotch, I would have been his superior a long time ago, and it's his turn to gossip and point fingers? !

Li Xin had a conflict with the yellow hat, and the working group was re-divided. Li Xin transferred from the area in charge of the yellow hat to the area in charge of Lao Yang. Yin Daoyan offered to ask Li Xin to join him in the production team. Yin Daoyan is a famous local wine jar.Three meals a day, except for eating with the work group in the canteen of the brigade, which has to be restrained, and alcohol is indispensable for everything else.He has a lot of alcohol, no matter how much he drinks, he doesn't show his face, but he smells of alcohol all over his body.The locals said that Secretary Yin's smell, that is, the smell of wine, can be smelled half a mile away.

Several people in the working group had joined the team with Secretary Yin, and everyone later learned that joining the team with Secretary Yin was synonymous with extra meals.Except for Lao Yang who couldn't bear it because of stomach problems, and Huang Mao who couldn't bear it because of principles, almost everyone in the working group was looking forward to Secretary Yin's happy call.This happiness finally came to Li Xin.Those who went to have lunch with Secretary Yin before were all cadres from Lao Yang's area.After the yellow hat rejected Secretary Yin's kindness, he was very angry. He felt that he had lost face, so he blamed all the cadres in the yellow hat's area.Now that Li Xin has split from the yellow hat, Secretary Yin has one more united front target. "I have long seen that you are a good young man." He said.

Yin Daoyan complained all the way.He didn't seem to be just angry with the yellow hat, nor did he have a good impression of the entire working group.It's no wonder that the working group said it came down to investigate and study, to carry out route education, and it actually became his home.How could Yin Daoyan, who had kept his word for decades in one place, be happy.Li Xin thought again, it's no wonder that Lao Yang was steady, humming and haggling all the time without making a sound.He worked in this area when he joined the land reform team, and he was an old acquaintance with Yin Daoyan. In addition to friendship, he naturally also had mutual understanding. Coupled with his long-term rural work experience, he knew that if he really offended the master of one party, he would not talk about starting work. First you can't stand up.They have experienced Yin Daoyan's prestige in the local area.After the working group came down, no matter how big or small the matter was, no matter how hard the people in the working group spoke and how hard they pushed, as long as Yin Daoyan didn't nod, no one would make a move.The local people said: "The working group is thundering against the sky, and Secretary Yin is the dragon king making rain."

Yin Daoyan is the same Geng as Lao Yang, but it seems that Lao Yin is twenty years younger than Lao Yang.Lao Yang was thin and thin, his waist was still old, and he was missing.Yin Daoyan is a clank man like a steel tower.In the winter, the clothes above the waist are never buttoned (and there are no buttons to button), and a large red and red chest is open.There is a whistling wind as you walk. "It's good that you are led by Lao Yang, otherwise, I'll hang you all up and drink the northwest wind." He only talked about his own words and walked his own way, acting like no one else was there.Li Xin sometimes has to trot a few steps to keep up with him.Walking, without saying hello to Li Xin, he stopped in front of a sloping field planted with winter wheat or rapeseed, squatted down, grabbed a handful of mud, crushed it in the palm of his hand, and held it to his nose to smell it. As soon as he smelled it, he threw it on the ground viciously, clapped his hands, and cursed: Fuck me, I'm so dry, I haven't even put a single piece of dung on it. "Sao Gu" is the nickname of his nephew and captain of the first team, Yin Yuanzhong, whom Li Xin met when he was in a team meeting.Then Li Xin followed Yin Daoyan into a woods, walked for a long time without any sound of people, could not help feeling a little panic and suspicious, wondering what Yin Daoyan, who looked like a bandit, was going to take him.But suddenly, behind a turning road, I saw a thatched hut, and a trembling old man was sitting on the threshold smoking a pipe.Seeing Yin Daoyan, he didn't shout, but just raised the dry chimney, Yin Daoyan took the chimney, put the smoke on it, and put it to his mouth, while asking "uuuuululu", "Is there any more rice?" The old man nodded head.When Yin Daoyan saw him, he stepped into the door and dragged out a wooden barrel from nowhere, with only some broken rice crumbs on the bottom of the wooden barrel. "There's a ghost! I asked your boss to give it away the day before yesterday, but he didn't? See if I won't break his bones!" Yin Daoyan yelled bitterly, threw the chimney back to the old man, turned around and left. On the way, Li Xin found out that the sons of the old man were unwilling to take in the old ones, so Yin Daoyan forced them to send rice monthly.Li Xin looked at Yin Daoyan from behind, and couldn't help feeling a little bit of respect. He understood why the locals were willing to obey him, believed in him, and took his words as imperial edicts, and understood why he could ignore the working group, let alone yellow hats. inside.At noon, they finally walked into a house.Li Xin was already dizzy from walking, his feet were sore and his hands were weak, it turned out that it was not easy to have another meal with Yin Daoyan.The guys who had this luck in the past only boasted about the benefits of the extra meal afterwards, but did not mention the hard work paid for the extra meal.The few people who saw Yin Daoyan in the house yard were eager to call out, and the people inside the house hurriedly chased to the door. All the dogs in the house ran over, jumping around and wagging their tails.Some of Yin Daoyan responded to the shouts, and some just waved his hands. The house that Yin Daoyan brought Li Xin into was very clean.This left a deep impression on Li Xin.Li Xin originally thought that every house in this place was like a garbage dump, not to mention the dust and moss accumulated over the years, mud, sewage, human and animal feces, and moldy firewood were everywhere inside and outside the house.Once, when we were eating pie at a family member’s house, a big rooster jumped onto the table, spread its wings and pooped, and the tower-like ball was steaming on the bowl. The owner turned a blind eye and just swung the rooster down. The table is done. This house is surprisingly bright and clean.The ground in the house is still muddy, but there is no floating soil to be seen.The firewood under the eaves, the peppers and eggplants that have been dried for the winter, and the corn and sweet potatoes are neatly gathered.The smell in the room is very fresh, and a few wisps of wood-burning smoke float faintly, revealing the warmth of ordinary people. A small child is wrapped in a nest bucket, and his face is as bright as a piece of fragrant soap, which is completely different from that of other houses. A kind of pole, let the thick nose and eye feces paste into a black and colorful face. "Xue, the guest is here." "Xue Na" is naturally the owner of this family, and from Yin Daoyan's tone, it is obvious that she is the hostess; the "guest" is naturally Li Xin.Xue Na came out from the kitchen, it was indeed a woman.In my twenties, apart from being young, I can't say that I have any special beauty, but I am smart.The hair tied into a bun at the back of the head was combed neatly, the clothes were old but cleanly washed, and the patches were evenly and evenly patched, like a pattern. "Oh, I have a guest, and I don't say hello first." The woman wiped her hands neatly on the apron. Li Xin noticed that she didn't address Yin Daoyan by any address, so she realized where Yin Daoyan had taken him (when Li Xin first came to Yin Daoyan's family, he went to visit with the whole work group, his wife was old and ugly, but a wife belongs to his wife, in Yin Daoyan's words Said it was to help him take a break to watch the house).Yin Daoyan has a lot of good friends, which has a very bad influence on him politically.But it made sense to him after thinking about it: no matter how well a cadre does, isn't the benefit also a good meal, drink and sleep?As long as there is "cooking in the pot and pestle on the bed", that is the life of the emperor.The secretary of the county party committee and other leaders of the county, when they came to the countryside, criticized him very seriously and persuaded him earnestly.Occasionally, he would also be sad, and when he drank alcohol or saw a woman, he would forget it again. "Is there any way," he said with a bitter face, "I listen to you, but the second child doesn't listen to me. I am a party member and a cadre, and it is nothing." Close your eyes, close your eyes, as long as no one is killed, it's up to him.Without him reciting sutras, nothing in this brigade would work. Xue Na quickly made arrangements. "Make a bowl of tea first, it's hard for you, there is no sugar." The tea here, in addition to tea leaves, also puts fried sesame seeds, soybeans, sugar, pickled ginger, peanuts and the like.Thickened, very fragrant and very appetizing. The tea bowls and saucers were spotless, and all the food was brightly colored.Li Xin tasted it carefully, and was a little moved in his heart.Yin Daoyan brought him to this house, apparently not for the sake of a show date, but to respect the habits of his urbanites—this house is clean. A man came in from the door, saw Yin Daoyan, immediately put down the burden (a kind of pole with iron ingots on both ends) on his shoulders, leaned on it, stood still, and shouted respectfully: "Secretary Yin is here." Secretary Yin said: "Get off work, Lao De?" "I didn't go to work, I went to cut a load of firewood." "You rest." Secretary Yin seemed to greet the guests. The man called "Old De" sat down on a low stool and pulled out a pipe from his waist.As soon as he loaded the cigarette, he suddenly remembered something, got up and handed it to the table. Yin Daoyan raised the hand holding the cigarette and waved it, and the dry pipe moved towards Li Xin again.Li Xin was also smoking a cigarette. He quickly stood up and said, "Thank you." Then he said, "Come up and sit down." As he spoke, he gave way. Lao De said: "No, you sit down." Yin Daoyan said to Li Xin: "Let him go." Lao Dezhong sat down and smoked a pipe in peace. A feast dedicated to the brigade secretary and the cadres of the county work group was served: one bowl was steamed eggs, two bowls were dry-roasted dried chilies, three bowls were dried eggplants and beans boiled in soy sauce, and the fourth bowl was actually a bowl of water The dried cut noodles are black and thick, and the county grain station never supplies them. "No oil." Xue Na was very embarrassed, and kept wiping her hands on the apron, "I borrowed eggs and noodles." "Aren't there two chickens?" Yin Daoyan said with a warm expression on his face. "The last two times you came, both..." Yin Daoyan said silently, "Is there always wine?" "There is wine." "That's fine." Xue Na immediately removed a jar from the divine table. "Come drink with Secretary and Team Leader Li." She shouted to Lao De who was still smoking down there. Lao De raised his head and said, "You can drink with Secretary Yin and Team Leader Li. I'm hungry. I'll eat." He got up and went to the kitchen, and never came out again. Li Xin couldn't tell whether it was because of disappointment or something else. In short, he was not prepared for this "additional meal".He knows that the place is poor, just like the noodles used for cooking on the table, the locals only serve them as a staple food during the Chinese New Year: put a chicken leg on a bowl of boiled noodles, and tie a piece of red-headed string on the chicken leg .The host must have repeatedly persuaded them to eat, while the guests must only eat noodles, and finally left the chicken legs intact at the bottom of the bowl.That chicken leg is just a specification, and it is not easy to eat.When the next guest comes, the chicken leg is solemnly placed on the next bowl of noodles.It wasn't until the end of the first month that the chicken leg was almost stale, and it was eaten by the most respected or spoiled person.In some families, the chicken legs are simply carved from wood, which can be passed down from generation to generation.Who said that one has enough food and clothing to know etiquette and righteousness?Bitter, don’t you know? Yin Daoyan doesn't have high requirements for food.After a few bowls of Gu Niang Shui Wine, his face brightened, and Li Xin felt that the situation under the table was uneven.Xue Na's feet touched his feet several times during the draw, obviously Xue Na was under some kind of attack. Li Xin stood up: "Cousin, I want to eat, do you have it?" "Why don't you drink?" Yin Daoyan was very interested. "No, I'm not used to drinking on an empty stomach." "People in the city are sour and fastidious, let him go." "I'll get you some food." Xue Na left the table. "As long as there is food, I will serve it myself." "Let him go, don't go." Yin Daoyan grabbed Xue Na's hand. Li Xin tried his best not to look aside, and went to the kitchen. Lao De squatted on the floor of the kitchen and drank a bowl of thin soup: it was a bowl of boiled dried sweet potatoes mixed with some maggot-like rice grains.There is a local folklore: carrots and potatoes (that is, sweet potatoes) in the morning, potatoes and radishes at noon, and at night when the chopping board rings, it is still potatoes in the pot.Those who know how to live a life regard the grain as precious, otherwise, it would be a terrible thing to wait for the commune's resale grain with empty pockets in the spring famine next year. Li Xin filled a bowl in the pot, squatted beside Lao De, and drank it slowly.Lao De smiled apologetically at him, and he also smiled apologetically at Lao De.Then they each lowered their heads and turned the bowl sloppyly.Yin Daoyan's loud laughter sounded from time to time in the main room. Yin Daoyan lived such an emperor's life in Li Bawan, with no taboos.Now he held the mulberry leaf in his palm again.To him, this is just another concubine that he can summon at will in Li Bawan.He himself may not value it very much, but Li Xin is the one who is deadly.
