Chapter 9 Two stilted buildings

Diaojiaolou was originally the residence of wealthy and well-to-do people in the mountains. It has a wooden structure and is quite exquisite in architecture.Some are built near mountains, or near water, or shaded by green trees, or rising from cliffs, and most of them are built in places with beautiful scenery.It has four pillars on the ground, cross-beams, cylindrical fir vertical walls, fir strips for the floor, and fir bark for the roof.Generally, there are two floors up and down, and there are also buildings built along the slope, up to four floors: the first floor raises pigs and cattle.The second floor is the warehouse, which stores rice, sundries and farm tools.The third floor is the fire pit, a place where the whole family eats and lives, receives guests, and talks about ancient songs.The fourth floor is the sleeping room.On the first floor of the fire pond, there is a protruding corridor with no pillars underneath. It is used to watch the wind and clouds in the daytime and the stars at night, which is called "hanging feet".People who have just arrived in the mountain area can see that the stilted buildings are lined with banana fruit trees, Qingxi rocks, the pointed fir bark roof, the yellow-brown figures uprooted from the four pillars, and some roofs and wooden walls are covered with green vines, dotted with flowers. A petunia flower, it would feel like a mysterious and novel place.

The fruit of victory that Wang Qiushe got during the land reform, the stilted building facing the street, was originally a temporary residence for a mountain tyrant to rush to the market.In front of the building, there used to be two rows of dwarf hollies, but now they have become two clumps of thorn canopy as tall as a person; behind the building, there used to be a few fat plantains and two tangerines.Now the plantains are half dead and half dead, and the orange trees are full of mealworms.The building is divided into upper and lower floors.The next floor was originally a firepit and servants' housing.The upper floor is where Shanba eats, drinks and plays.The entire floor is divided into two halves, the half facing the street is the living room, and the half facing the street is divided into three bedrooms.Now Wang Qiushe only lives and eats on the lower floor, so the upper floor is often vacant for the male and female working comrades who have come down from their superiors to stay overnight.Earlier, when the gold and red carved high-post bed upstairs was not sold, Wang Qiushe also lived upstairs for two or three years, sleeping on the carved high-post bed and having many sexual dreams.Alas, at that time, he seemed to be possessed by a demon, and he imagined in his mind the scene of Shan Ba ​​leaning on the bamboo bed, drinking, listening to music, and laughing with the singing woman in his arms.Sometimes I just lie on the quilt with my eyes closed, and some dubious thoughts come to my mind: My mother is so good, it is this bed, this set of bedding, how many women has Shanba played with?Young, middle-aged, fat, thin... Shanba later got syphilis and died a miserable and miserable death.deserve it!Damn good!However, he always felt that there was a smell of powder on the bed, and the smell of quarrel by the pillow.

The peony flower is immortal, even a ghost can be romantic!He slowly gave birth to some despicable behaviors.On those spring nights, summer nights, and autumn nights when the weather is fine and the moon is like water, I can't help myself, jumping from the bed to the floor of the living room, imitating the scene of Lao Shanba playing that day, and he also leans on the bamboo cool bed, Holding a pillow as a concubine: "Hey, sing a song for me! Which song do you listen to? Why don't you ask? You are my heart, and I am your cash cow..." He hugged the pillow and asked questions and answered them.In the past, it was fashionable for a dignified gentry to hum a few lines of Beijing opera. He couldn’t sing Beijing opera, so he had to sing a few old lanterns: “Hey brother Yizi, sister Yizi, brother licked my sister’s tongue, sister I bit my brother's mouth..." Sometimes he would go barefoot and chase them all over the living room and bedroom.What are you chasing?Only he himself knows.He was chasing a phantom.Sometimes bypassing the pillars of the house, sometimes jumping over a stool, and sometimes getting under the table, cursing: "Little hoof! Little fairy! See where you run, where you hide! Hee hee hee, hahaha, you little Goblin, you bad hoof..." He chased until he was exhausted, and finally, panting, he threw himself on the bed of carved pillars, motionless like a dead snake.But after all, he was in vain, feeling sad and wronged, and shed tears: "In the past, Shanba had food, drink and women... Now it's the men's turn... but they can only dream..."

For a while, the neighbors in the neighborhood heard the ping-pong-pong upstairs on the hanging feet, mixed with laughter and shouting, and thought there was a vixen upstairs. obsessed with.There were a few old aunts who used to be matchmakers for Wang Qiushe's marriage proposal, hoping that he would start a family and live a decent life, but they dare not be the matchmakers anymore.And a group of young daughters-in-law and older sisters, when they pass by the stilted building in broad daylight, they must lower their heads and speed up their pace, so as not to get "monstrous".Later, even Wang Qiushe himself lied to himself, saying that he had indeed met a vixen upstairs a few times, and that she was so beautiful and seductive that no woman could compare to it except for Hu Yuyin, who sold rice tofu in the town.From then on, Wang Qiushe didn't go upstairs to sleep anymore.It's not that he's afraid of vixen, but he's afraid of being "sex-crazed" and crazy if he fakes it.Soon, some rumors spread in the town, saying that the host who hangs his legs didn't meet any ghosts, but fell in love with "Sister Furong" who sold rice tofu, and went to the door of Laohuji Inn several times in a row. Hu Yuyin's ears were scratched, and it was Li Guigui who showed the butcher's knife that made him give up.But Hu Yuyin and his wife are decent people in the town, they work hard and work hard, and they are honest and responsible.Because of these street words, they are not enough to be trusted.

Houses depend on maintenance and buildings depend on repairs.When Li Guoxiang moved in with three staff members, the stilted building was already in disrepair.The entire wooden building was tilted, supported by three thick slanted piles.Where the top of each inclined pile supports the wooden wall, a large bluestone weighing one hundred catties is hung with wire.If you look up suddenly at night when the moon is dark and the stars are dark, it's like hanging three dead bodies, which is creepy.At the foot of the stilted building, the wood exposed from the soil has long been blackened, with ferns growing and insects and ants growing.Ferntail grass is pretty good, it's like putting a circle of green lace on a wooden building.There are also weeds and vines behind the building, which are growing vigorously, and have long been leaning out of the upstairs window.

The crooked buildings and barren yards made Team Leader Li Guoxiang feel deeply that he had a great responsibility. Fourteen or five years after Liberation, "roots of the land reform" like Wang Qiushe are still living in poverty. Did not turn over completely.What is the problem?After three years of hardship, the forces of capitalism in urban and rural areas took the opportunity to raise their heads.If you don’t engage in sports, don’t grasp class struggle, the rural areas will inevitably be polarized, the rich will remain rich and the poor will be poor, the country will change color, the party will change its revision, the achievements of the revolution will be ruined, capitalism will be restored, the landlord bourgeoisie will come to power, and they will go to the mountains again to fight guerrillas , encircling the city from the countryside... When Li Guoxiang saw Wang Qiushe's rotten pot, rotten stove, and chipped bowl in the fire pit downstairs, her eyes were red and she shed tears!What a deep class emotion.The female team leader and two working team members donated two yuan each to buy back a bright steel pot, a pair of plastic chopsticks, and ten rice bowls.The working group also took the initiative to volunteer. The team leader and team members worked together to eradicate the vines and thorns that hide snakes and rats behind the stilted building, save half-dead plantain bushes and grapefruit trees, and improve environmental sanitation.Li Guoxiang's palms were blistered with blood, and there were some red marks on his arms.The stilted buildings facing the street have a new look, with red paper couplets pasted on the entrance of the building: Never forget class struggle, always criticize capitalism.

In order to firmly establish the "roots" in the town, the working group did not rush to hold a meeting, brush up slogans, engage in mobilization, and pursue superficial vigor.Instead, they focused on collusion, monitoring the situation, first dividing into left, center, and right, and "politically lining up" the town's cadres and residents to determine who the movement relied on, who to unite with, who to educate, and who to attack in isolation.One day, Li Guoxiang sent two working team members to go to several "poor farmers" households in the town to "link up" together, while she stayed in the stilted building, focused on training Wang Qiushe, and personally read documents to "roots". listen.Since she had a few contacts with Wang Qiushe last year, she has a good impression of Diaojiaozhu, and she feels that she is very malleable: first of all, she is bitter and hateful, has a firm stand, and never says anything to the instructions of her superiors; Poor, neither tall nor short, strong, smiling, amiable; more importantly, Wang Qiushe is flexible in thinking, quick in response, diligent in speech, eloquent, and has a certain ability to organize activities.The so-called "a person should not be judged by his appearance", at present Wang Qiushe only wears rough clothes and eats coarse food. If he is given a cadre uniform, a white collar, and a pair of yellow Jiefang shoes, in terms of bearing and size, he will be no different. Which bureau-level cadre in the county is missing.She initially planned to make Wang Qiushe a "model" and an advanced pacesetter for raising consciousness in the social education movement, so that the movement in this town she controlled could also become a red flag for the whole county...

Li Guoxiang read the document in his mouth, thinking about these in his heart, and looked at Wang Qiushe condescendingly from time to time.Of course, Wang Qiushe couldn't understand the painstaking efforts of the female team leader of the working group.When the female team leader read the terms of "cleaning class, clearing status, and clearing the economy", his heart moved, his eyes lit up, his throat was itchy, and he couldn't help asking: "Leader Li, is this campaign like It was like during the land reform... or is it called the second land reform?" "The second land reform? That's right. This time, the campaign is to take root and connect with the poor and hired peasants like the land reform, to fight against the rich and the corrupt, and to attack the new bourgeoisie!"

Li Guoxiang patiently answered the "roots" and fluently recited the policy provisions. "Leader Li, do you want to redefine the class divisions in this movement?" "The situation is complicated. Where the land reform is not thorough, it is necessary to re-establish the class team and organize the class front. Lao Wang, you have listened to the document and changed your mind a little. Not bad, not bad." "I still have one thing I don't understand. Does the clean-up of the economy mean the property of each household?" Wang Qiushe opened his eyes wide and stared at the female team leader without blinking.He was almost about to ask the words "we still don't want to divide the floating money".The female team leader felt a little ashamed when she was stared at by the bachelor in her thirties, so she looked away and continued to explain the policy boundaries: "To clean up the work points, accounts, and material distribution of the production team in recent years, we must Clean up the corruption and misappropriation of grassroots cadres, eat more and take more, and also check the floating wealth of those who abandoned agriculture for business and speculators, hold class struggle exhibitions, and settle political accounts and economic accounts together."

"Good! I support this movement! Even if I raise my head and walk at night, I will go!" Wang Qiushe stood up with a huff, her heart was beating with excitement.Damn good!Haha, I thought about it and looked forward to it in the early years, but later I didn't believe that it would come again, and now I say it will come again!Be darling, the second land reform, the second division into divisions, the second division of floating wealth... Let's see!Didn't Wang Qiushe have the foresight?You idiots, when you got good fields and good soil, cattle and farm tools during the land reform, you only want to work hard, build houses, buy property, and make a fortune... Haha, Wang Qiushe is better than you! Far away, there are still rotten pots, rotten stoves and rotten bowls. In front of the "poor peasants", come to "reform" your "life" and "fight" your "struggle"!He was so hot and excited all of a sudden, he couldn't help but grabbed the arms of the female team leader: "Leader Li! I'm handing over my weight of more than 100 kilograms to the working group! The working group is my parents, I Listen to the dispatch and command of the working group!"

Li Guoxiang withdrew her hands, feeling a little distracted.No disgusting!She said to "Genzi" seriously: "Sit down! It's ridiculous, so up and down, big and small, you can move your hands and feet, but you have to pay attention to the impact, huh?" Wang Qiushe blushed and sat down obediently.He rubbed the pair of slaps that had pinched the female team leader's arms just now, feeling a little greasy: "Damn me! I only care about supporting the higher-level documents and policies, and I-forgot that the team leader Li is a woman..." "Let's talk nonsense, let's get down to business." Li Guoxiang was generous, smiled indifferently, brushed a strand of messy hair from his forehead, and stopped scolding him. "You are from your hometown, tell me, which of these families in the town are the nouveau riche who have lived a special life in recent years?" "Let's talk about cadres first? Or ordinary residents? The cadres in the town... there is a man like the big tree by the river, which shelters many capitalist floating fish. Sell ​​rice tofu and earn a lot of money to build a new house. It’s just that he is old, has a solid foundation, and has a high prestige. Even if the working group wants to move him, I’m afraid it will not be easy.” "Him? Huh, if there is a problem, our working group will touch the tiger's ass this time! What else?" "There is also the director of the tax office. I heard that he was born as a bureaucratic landlord and hated the poor and lower-middle peasants. He said many times that I was a 'bump' and a 'rogue proletarian'..." "Hmm, to slander the poor peasants is to slander the revolution. What else?" "There is also Li Mangeng, secretary of the brigade. He has an unstable position, and he uses the bad guy Qin Shutian to write this and that, and he is the leader of the five types of elements. He also recognizes Hu Yuyin, who sells rice and tofu, as his daughter-in-law. Collusion... Furong Town is their world..." What Wang Qiushe said was the truth.These few bosses in the town always say that he is idle, lazy, and afraid of hard work.Li Mangeng is the worst, he has embezzled his relief food and relief clothes, without any class feelings at all!Hmph, this kind of person is in power in the brigade of this town, how could he, Wang Qiushe, turn over completely?This time, the government is kind enough to understand the situation and send a working group to speak for the poorest and most miserable people, and kill those who are rich and powerful! Li Guoxiang asked and took notes, and got a general idea of ​​the situation of more than a dozen cadres in the town.Wang Qiushe is really a living book, this guy knows a lot of things, and he has a good memory, who is related to whom, what kind of relationship, what kind of quarrel, what open and secret hatred, who even climbed into whose attic, who Whoever touched the chicken coop, whose mouth was slapped by whose woman, whose sister suffered from being dumb and was a hollow carrot when she got married, whose cub looked like so-and-so instead of an old man.He speaks clearly and logically, with roots and leaves.And there are places, witnesses, and dates.Listening and remembering, the female team leader couldn't help feeling a little fond and interested in this "root", thinking that Wang Qiushe was like a big bluestone sinking in the water, what kind of aquatic plants, gossamer, fish, shrimp, snails, crabs Lah, it's all absorbed on me. "In the past few years, taking advantage of the temporary difficulties of the national economy, the policies have been relaxed, and the fairs and fairs have been chaotic, and those who have made money and made a fortune in business, which one should be counted in the town?" The female group leader asked again. ask. "Why don't you ask me? Your superior knows better than me!" Wang Qiushe pretended to be surprised and asked back, "Has your superior not heard much about it? It's Hu Yuyin who built a new building in Dongtou! This girl is amazing. She has the appearance of setting up a rice tofu stall, attracting customers, and earning huge profits... And she is very capable. There are not many men, women, young and old in the town who do not have a good relationship with her. It is the cadres who treat her, treat her..." "What's the matter with her?" The female team leader was a little impatient, but also very curious. "I like her face and eyes! The brigade branch secretary Li recognized her as a godmother, and the branch secretary's sister-in-law became a vinegar jar. The director of the grain station provided her with the head of broken rice grains, and the director of the tax office charged her a dollar for each tax. Her eldest brother-in-law. Even the bad guy like Qin Zizi has a relationship with her. I collected old folk songs from her mouth and called socialism feudalism. Is it abominable?" This conversation made Li Guoxiang gain a lot and mastered many valuable first-hand materials.Diaojiaozhuzhu is indeed a talented person in the town, let's see if he can be trained through the struggle test of this movement. After half a month, the working group basically found out the situation of each household in the whole town brigade.But the masses have not yet been mobilized, so they decided to start with reminiscing about bitterness and sweetness, and comparing memories to arouse the class feelings of the members of the commune.There are three specific measures: one is to eat a meal to remember the bitterness, the other is to sing a song to remember the bitterness, and the third is to hold an exhibition of class struggle in the brigade.The class struggle exhibition is divided into two parts: pre-liberation and post-liberation.In the part before liberation, we needed to find several real objects: a bed of rotten cotton wool, a torn cotton jacket, a broken basket, a dog-beating stick, and a half-sided bowl. But it has been fourteen or five years since Liberation, the poor have turned over, and their lives have improved, so where are we going to find these rotten things now!Alas, during the land reform period, I only cared about celebrating my turning over and returning the land to my hometown. I only thought about planting the good fields and soil that I got allotted, and only cared about the bright future of the new society. If you can't win by throwing it away, who is willing to stay and make people cry when they see it, and who would expect to hold an exhibition more than ten years later to compare memories.It can be seen that everything should be farsighted, and bad things and bad things have their own uses.The poorer and more miserable the place, the more it is necessary to compare memories.There are fewer so-called material things and more spiritual things.For example, in some production teams, collective production has not been implemented for the time being, and the rations allocated are not enough to eat, and a small number of commune members scold their mothers and are dissatisfied. For another example, the leaders of the commune and county uniformly implemented a certain farming system and stipulated that a certain excellent variety from other places should be planted. Due to unacceptable water and soil conditions, a large area of ​​production was reduced, and the commune members complained endlessly, etc.Wouldn't it be okay not to compare memories?Is it okay not to recall bitterness and not to think of sweetness?Only fourteen or five years after liberation, have you completely forgotten all the sufferings and sins you have suffered in the old society?Three red flags, collective economy, even if there are some minor faults and shortcomings, you should not complain or vent your grievances.Don't look at the height of another mountain from one mountain, hold a thick bowl and think of a thin bowl, and eat chaff and think of fine grains, the human heart is not enough to swallow like a snake.Therefore, recalling bitterness and thinking sweet is a magic weapon, which can be used in many ways. Of course, the group leader Li Guoxiang wanted to organize the Recalling Bitterness and Thinking Sweetness class education exhibition in order to mobilize the masses and launch a movement.She visited many houses to find some pre-liberation exhibits, but found nothing.Suddenly, her heart brightened: That's right!There is a know-it-all and live music in front of you, so don't ask!Maybe the owner of the hanging feet can come up with an idea.One day at lunch, she told Wang Qiushe about it.Wang Qiushe looked distressed, hesitated for a while, and then said: "There are a few things, I don't know if I can use them..." "What is useful or not, go and take a look!" A stone fell from Li Guoxiang's heart, and she watched with a smile that her "relying object" went to the corner of the door. After a while, Wang Qiushe came out with gray hair and a basket of things, and showed it to the female group leader.It turned out to be a bed of torn cotton batting riddled with holes, a rotten cotton-padded jacket with dangling tendons and black grease, a broken basket, and a chipped bowl.The only thing missing is a dog-beating stick, which can be found everywhere. "Hehe, it doesn't take much effort to get here! You still have a way." The female team leader was very happy and praised. "I just want to report to my superiors that this torn cotton wool and rotten cotton jacket are all relief items given to me by the government after liberation..." Wang Qiushe frowned, speaking truthfully. "Are you kidding? This is a serious political mission! What else is there to be half-hearted?" The female group leader criticized Education in a sharp tone, "I have visited some big museums in Hengzhou and Guangzhou. Many of them are models and imitations!"
