County Magistrate Wu is also worth recording.People who have met him say that he is a capon with a long and pointed head, and he is as ugly as he looks, but he is kind.When he was a landlord in the past, he gave out porridge when he saw a beggar, asked someone to bury him when he saw a dead person, stopped a picker selling salted fish on the road, and asked him to take it to the porridge factory, saying how many loads of salted fish. How much is the fish worth?You just eat, you can't eat my food. One year, there was a clan fight in the mountains, and both sides fought to death, so he sold the fields to settle the dispute.

He had been the county magistrate of the Kuomintang for a few days, but the poor and lower-middle peasants had a good impression of him. During the land reform, they all said that they should not fight him first, and if they want to fight, they must fight the world's scorpion.Shi Laizi’s field is actually not as much as his, but that person is a bit too powerful. He went to other people’s house to collect debts on the 30th of the year, and saw that the other party had no grain or tea oil, so he took away a pig’s head that was prepared for the New Year. Drill!So vicious!A gentleman is disdainful.

Peasants always judge people through details, they always memorize and legend details, and they pay more attention to details than any policies and theories—this is different from many new school people.Because of this, although County Magistrate Wu became an enemy of the revolution, he was blocked by a lot of details, hadn't been beaten for a long time, and was quite respected by the villagers.Some families gave birth to a baby and asked him to name it.Some people hold banquets and invite him to sit at the head table.Once a married woman of a certain family asked him to write a couplet. Hearing that he had gone to be a guest, she insisted on chasing him five or six miles away, and she must ask him for a good word from the nobleman.He had no choice but to stand on the road and dictate a couplet: "It's easy to take a heavy burden on raising a child, but it's hard to show caring." He managed it sloppily.

The "Cultural Revolution" was a catastrophe he did not escape.He was still hung up, put on a high hat, and accepted the struggle of the masses, but he was not hung up like a monkey.In front of him hung a sign with the word "Niugui" written on it.There is a plaque on the back with the word "Snake God" written on it.When he was parading, he yelled bitterly: "Before me are bull ghosts, and behind me are snake gods!" The militiamen didn't realize it at first, but the more they heard it, the more they felt uncomfortable, and asked him how he could shout like that.He said how you write, I will shout, all shouting according to what you wrote, is it okay?The militiamen felt that he was right, so they had to take it carelessly.

The work team finally found a fault with him and accused him of engaging in feudal superstition and keeping showing people's faces. He refused to accept: "You say that looking at physiognomy is a superstition, so don't you also want to look at bullocks when you buy a cow?" I use the word "营" to choose its sound, and it refers to the swirl eyes on a cow.Farmers often check the number and position of bullocks to judge the quality and character of cattle.In the eyes of the old landlord, isn't this also showing the cow's face?Isn’t it also revolutionary materialism?Why can you see the appearance of a cow but not the appearance of a human?

The work team couldn't say no to him, so they had to bring him in again. When he was kneeling and fighting with other reactionaries, he had the best kneeling skills. He knelt for two or three hours, with his chest up and his waist straight, without moving an inch, which amazed everyone in the audience.Everyone didn't listen to the speeches on the stage, and all eyes were on his knees and waist, which annoyed the meeting organizers.Later, he could still sleep on his knees, opened his eyes, yawned, swallowed a saliva, and found that the meeting was not over, closed his eyes and went back to sleep, his body was still standing tall and firm as a rock.The light of the oil lamp in the venue was dim, and no one noticed that he had gone back and forth to Nanke Country several times.

Probably because he got used to sleeping on his knees like this, and it made him sleep comfortably, but he couldn't do without kneeling later.When someone is sitting and chopping pigweed, he will kneel down and chop grass.When others squatted to plant vegetable seedlings, he would kneel and plant them.Every now and then, he gives people a heinous attitude, which makes people panic.He came to a general meeting, no one asked him to kneel, but when he was sitting, his knees slipped to the ground, and he wanted to experience the addiction of kneeling. "I'm dozing off, it's terrible, it's terrible," he explained sheepishly, "it's impossible not to kneel down."

You go back, go back quickly! ... The work team later dismissed him in the same way, fearing that he would stay and continue to disrupt the order of the meeting. He later lived more leisurely.It is said that when his wife died of illness, he thought about committing suicide and ate honey mixed with green onions.As the saying goes, honey mixed with green onions is as fast as the wind, and you will definitely die if you eat it.But he ate it twice, and he was still alive, his horoscope was hard. Finally, after the end of the political campaign, he became a member of the county CPPCC again.Both sons also went to college and later went to the United States.One of them became a company manager, and the other was so learned that he was said to specialize in studying the back of the robot's skull—this is how he described his son's professional achievements.Hearing what he said, it seems that the robot has the back of the head, maybe there are forehead and chin, and there are facial features and urology.
