Chapter 50 Section 50

There are frequent power outages in the town, and the kerosene lamps he lights make him feel more at ease in front of the lamps.Writing under an oil lamp is less scruples and easier to pour out.It was a very light knock on the door. No one in the village knocked on the door like that. He usually either shouted first or slammed on the door while greeting him. He thought it was a dog.The yellow dog owned by the principal's family would sometimes come to the door to beg for bones when he smelled the stew in the house, but he ate in the school cafeteria for several days in a row without lighting a fire.He was a little surprised, and immediately stuffed what he wrote into the charcoal basket in the corner, and stood behind the door to listen, but there was no sound.Just as he was about to turn around, he heard a soft knock on the door.

"Who is it?" He asked loudly, and opened a crack in the door to check. "Teacher." A soft female voice stood by the dark door. "It's Sun Huirong?" He recognized the voice!So open the door. This girl has graduated from school for two years, and is farming in the village. The children of the town's non-agricultural hukou must also go to the village to settle. There are documents and regulations, which are implemented by the school.He was Sun's class teacher, and he picked a production brigade only five miles away from the town, and the brigade secretary was the hunchback old Zhao he knew.He found another family with a mother to take care of the girl.

"How are you doing?" he asked. "Pretty good, teacher." "But it's tanned!" Under the dim kerosene lamp, the girl's face was dark!She is only sixteen years old, her chest is straight and she looks strong and strong, unlike the girls in the city, who have worked hard since childhood.Sun came into the room, and he left the door open to avoid suspicion. "Is there a problem?" "Just to see the teacher." "Okay then, sit down." He hadn't left the girl alone in his room, but she was out of school by now.Sun turned to check, still standing, looking at the door.

"Sit, sit, and leave it on." "No one saw me coming." Her voice was still very soft. He was immediately in an awkward position.He remembered that she said that her family was a country of daughters, and there was a kind of bitterness that moved him a little.Sun is the most outstanding girl in this town. After the students' publicity team went to the nearby coal mine to perform, they recruited some "young workers" from the mine. Booing, calling to see Sun Huirong! The principal came out of the office and scolded: "What are you looking at? What is there to see?" .” He walked away in a sly manner."Sun Huirong was touched here" was also written slantedly in chalk on the rocks on the river beach. The principal called the boys in the class to the office one by one for questioning. .The girls in the village are also precocious, and the girls talk nonsense among themselves, often causing quarrels and crying. When he asked, they all blushed and remained silent.Before the publicity team put on makeup, Sun Huirong took a small round mirror to look left and right, and she would act like a baby: "Teacher, does my hair look good? Teacher, come and paint this lipstick for me, teacher, take a look!" He He trimmed the corners of her lips with his fingers, said, "It's pretty, that's fine!" and pushed her away.

The girl was sitting opposite him at the moment, under the dim kerosene lamp.He wanted to twist the wick, but the girl said softly, "That's pretty good." He thought she was provoking him, so he changed the subject: "How is that family?" He asked the farmer with a mother he had chosen for her. "I don't live there anymore." "Why don't you stop?" He had arranged to live in the same room with the old woman of that family. "I'm looking at the warehouse." "Where's the warehouse?" "In the production team. One

"Where?" "On the side of the road, across the bridge." He knew that there was a lonely house across the small stone bridge by the village, and asked, "You live alone?" "that is." "What are you looking at?" "Heaps of rakes and straw." "What's so interesting about that?" "The secretary said that if I am asked to be an accountant in the future, I must have a room." "Aren't you afraid?" She was silent for a while, and said: Once you get used to it, it will be fine. " "Your mother can rest assured?"

"She can't take care of me, and there are two younger sisters at home, and she can't live by herself when she grows up." There was silence again, there was moisture in the lamp oil, and the lamp flickered. "Do you have time to read some books?" This is what a teacher should ask. "What books are you still reading? It's not like ordering vegetables in the garden at home, and you have to earn work points. It's not like when you were in school, how good it is!" But no, this school is heaven for her. "Then come to the school often to have a look. It's not far away, so you can visit it when you get home." He could only comfort her like this.

The girl stood at the corner of the table, lowered her head, and scratched the seam of the table with her fingers.He was speechless for a moment, smelling the smell of her hair, and said: "If you have nothing to do, go back." The girl raised her head and asked, "Where are you going?" "Go home!" he said. "I'm not from home," said the girl. "Then go back to the team," he said. "I don't want to go back..." Sun Huirong's head fell again, and her fingers were still scratching on the seam of the table. "Afraid of being alone in the warehouse?" he asked, and the girl lowered her head.

"It's not that I'm used to drinking. Do you want to go back to the old family? You want me to talk to the family and let you go back to live?" He had to ask again. "No... this..." The girl's voice was lower, and her head almost touched the table.He came closer and smelled the warm and sour sweat on her body, and immediately stood up, almost annoyed, and said loudly, "Do you want me to tell you?" The girl was also surprised!stood up.He saw her panic-stricken eyes, and she was about to cry in an instant, so he hurriedly said, "Sun Huirong, let's go home first—."

The girl lowered her head slowly, but stood motionless in front of him.He remembered almost pushing the girl out of the room, holding her strong arm and telling her to turn around.Sun Huirong still didn't move, so he whispered in her ear: "If you have something to say, let's talk about it during the day! Okay?" Sun Huirong never came again, and he never saw her again.No, he met him once, and that was Chu Jiuyi.The night when she came to school to look for him was just autumn, and about three months later, he passed by the door of Sun's house. The girl was in the main room, and she clearly saw him. He wanted tea or something, but immediately turned his back and went to the back of the main room.

Just after the new year, a girl in his class rang the class bell and was still crying on the desk. He investigated the reason, but the boys didn't say anything.When I asked about a little girl in the class, I told them that the boys said to the girl just now when class was over: "What's so good about it? By then, you won't be like Sun Huirong, and you will be honest if you tell the hunchback to get out your belly." After class, he asked the principal: "What happened to Sun Huirong?" The principal said vaguely, "It's hard to say, I don't know, it's an abortion! Whether it's rape or not, it's hard to say." Only then did he recall that the girl might have come to him to ask him for help, and that had already happened.Or did the girl have a premonition that something was going to happen?Or has it happened but not pregnant yet?He didn't say what he wanted to say, and it couldn't be said, it was all in the girl's eyes, hesitating to speak, in hesitation, in the sour sweat smell on her body and in her behavior.Sun looked at the door again and again, and what did he see?She avoided his gaze and looked around the room, what was she looking for?She may have a very clear plan, and she was hidden from view during the blackout night.She said that no one saw her coming, so she obviously paid attention and wanted to tell him a secret?If he had closed the door and been less restrained, she obviously hoped that he would close the door, so she could confide in him and possibly avoid this bad luck?She didn't want him to twist the lamp twister, maybe she could speak in the dark?Maybe there was something more complicated, so that he could pity her, save her, prevent or interfere with what was about to happen or what had happened?Or is there another purpose? Everyone in the small town knew that the girl of the Sun family was ruined by Tuozi, and her mother took her to have an abortion, so there was no way to find out more.A large copper lock was hung on the door of Sun's house.He then went to the police station and drank with Lao Zhang, a public security officer.Zhang was reprimanding an old farmer who sold sesame oil, and the oil in a small tin bucket and the basket were all seized. "Grain and oil are all purchased and sold by the state, do you know that?" "I know, I know." "Sell it even if you know it? Didn't you know the law and break the law?" "It's all grown in my own vegetable garden—." "Who knows if you planted it yourself or stole it from the production team?" "If you don't believe me, just ask?" "Ask who?" "Ask the village, the captain knows!" "I know, I know, ask your captain to send a note to get it!" "Comrade, please do me a favor. I won't sell it next time, okay?" "There are laws and regulations in this country!" The old man crouched on the ground and refused to leave.He sat and finished smoking a cigarette, and it seemed that he couldn't finish it for a while, so he got up and said that he would come back at a different time.Zhang was quite polite, he kept him and asked, "What's the matter?" "I want to know about my student Sun Huirong," he said. "The files of this case are all there, so you can take a look if you want. Teachers can't handle this kind of thing. This is still from the local people, so there are more accidents among female educated youths from other places. As long as I and my parents don't If you sue, no one will die, and you can ignore it.” Zhang opened the eaves of the official document, found a file clip and handed it to him, saying: "Take it and read it, the case is closed." He carefully studied every piece of paper in the dossier, including the transcripts of the investigations of the parties Sun Huirong and Tuozi, the fingerprints of Tuozi, and the fingerprints that Sun signed and stamped.There is also a record of the conversation about Tuozi’s wife, with a letter from the girl to Tuozi, written on paper torn from a student’s composition book, and an envelope with a postmark, and the address is Zhuanzhao Village of this commune. Comrade XX, secretary of the brigade, wrote the name of the hunchback.The letter was titled "Dear Brother", the hunchback is over fifty, and the girl is underage.The letter only has two lines, roughly: I miss my brother very much, but I can't see him anymore, so let's just talk about it like this, I don't regret it at all.The word "repentance" was spelled wrongly, it was an individual word, and it was clearly signed by Sun Huirong - the date on the letter was after the incident broke out. The transcript of the investigation of the hunchback's wife is: that little bitch seduced her man, was shameless, and even dared to write a letter to her man, this little bitch just wanted to get a job index.She was the one who intercepted the letter. She was so angry that she handed it over to the commune!And the incident came from Dr. Wang of the commune health center. The investigation record of Dr. Wang wrote: Her mother came and begged him to go to the house to help with an induced abortion, saying that she could not come to the health center for fear of spreading the word The neighbors on the street all know, how will this girl marry in the future?Dr. Wang said, he does not do such illegal things, and if the abortion is not in compliance with the procedures, it will be reported in private. Is he still a doctor?Still dissatisfied with the wind and thunder in the town, making everyone think he has a hand with this little girl?Dr. Wang said very simply, you can't do illegal things! How this matter got out was not mentioned in the investigation materials.The hunchback's confession was simple: Rape?Say it!He never did such a wicked thing!Let alone his wife and children, how could he have the face to be a secretary?The Red Flag Brigade can't be defeated either, he has to be worthy of the organizational cultivation of leaders at all levels!This female student is acting like a ghost. Regardless of how small she is, she has a lot of scheming!She obviously takes a bath inside, just take a bath, the door is locked inside, such a thick door panel, she can open it and pry it outside if she doesn't mind?Why don't you call it if you don't want to?A total of several times.Ask her well, every time on her plank—.It's not in the big field, how can such a thick door handle take off by itself?If you want to rape, why didn't you report it earlier, and wait until you have a big belly?Recruiting workers, it's not her fault, which educated youth doesn't want to recruit workers and farm for a lifetime?If there is an indicator, you can take care of it if you can. It's not a crime. It doesn't matter who goes there. The brigade will make a recommendation. As for Sun Huirong's own statement, there is a thick stack of questions, and the questions are extremely detailed, from the cheap soap she used in the bath to how she got it from the wet basin to the plank behind the straw pile. It can't be more detailed, it's like rape again.The conclusion of the case is: the female educated youth was driven by the bourgeois ideology, and she did not feel comfortable farming, so she was transferred from the brigade and changed to work in a commune to strengthen ideological remolding.The conclusion of the organization of the hunchback: the style of life is seriously corrupted, the social influence is bad, the party will be punished for major demerits, and the position will be retained for the time being to see the effect. He hesitated for several days, and finally talked to Lu, asking Lu to intervene in Sun Huirong's affairs. "Her mother has already looked for me," Lu said, "The fetus was also aborted, and she found a relationship with the county hospital. Her mother led her to do it. This matter has been dealt with, so don't worry about it." "But the problem is that she's underage—" he was about to defend himself. "Don't take it here!" Lu interrupted him, and warned sharply, "The relationship between personnel and personnel in this village is intertwined. You are a foreigner, do you still want to stay here?" He had nothing to say for a moment, and he understood that he was just begging for a living under Lu's protection. "I've already taken care of it. Let the girl go to another commune. After a year or so, when the rumors die down, I'll give you a recruitment target, and her mother agrees." What more can I say?It's all a deal.Generations of people have been rolling in this mud, so what else?At least this place accepted him, so he stayed there obediently, and understood that he would always be a foreigner.
