Chapter 13 Director of Liulaogu

The Organization Department of the County Party Committee and the County Grain Bureau issued an official document: In view of the fact that Gu Yanshan, the director of the Furong Town Grain Station, lost his class position and stole and sold grain from the state treasury.The official document was announced by the working group of the county party committee who came to the grain station to hold a meeting of all employees.Gu Yanshan himself was not present.It was really a bolt from the blue, so fast that the thunder could not cover our ears.Gu Yanshan was ordered to "go upstairs" and was locked up in his dormitory, where he lost his freedom of movement.The working group sent two key members of the movement to guard his door day and night, saying that it was to prevent him from committing suicide in fear of crime.At first he couldn't believe his ears, his eyes, and everything he heard and saw, thinking that he was dreaming an absurd and incredible dream.Fake, fake! All of this is acting and filming... The people who wrote the plays and movies have never been on the front line or been to the countryside, so it is fake at first glance.Once he watched a battle feature film, the instructor stood in front of the enemy's position, raised his arms and shouted: "Comrades, for the sake of the motherland and the people, and for the tens of thousands of class brothers who are suffering and suffering all over the world, go——!" Ah, on the battlefield, how can there be time for such a speech? Isn't this a living target for the enemy? It is fake at first glance, funny and angry.However, the order Gu Yanshan encountered this time to "suspend the job to reflect and explain the problem" was real and true.I am neither deaf nor blind, nor do I dream.Thus, this "Northern soldier" who had a good reputation in Furong Town for his good temper and kindness, woke up from the chaos. He was furious, and he slapped tables, chairs, and walls.He shouted and roared:

"Working group! What are you! What are you! You lied about the materials and deceived the county party committee! Li Guoxiang, you son of a bitch, you're so good at it, you're so shameless! Revolutionaries, old comrades, you secretly carry out surprise attacks... Sudden attacks are tactics on the battlefield. We used them when we fought Little Japan and Lao Jiang, but you, you used them against your own comrades... We drilled tunnels , When you were shot, you still smelled of yellow shit, yellow shit! Blood flowed into rivers, corpses piled up into mountains, and the world was fought, but you criticized and fought, not allowing people to live a peaceful life, not letting people survive... ..."

Gu Yanshan pulled and kicked the door, and the door was locked from the outside, probably because of his bad attitude.The two backbones of the movement ignored him, each holding a "38 gun" and smoking, talking nonsense.The "three-eight guns" might have been seized by Lao Gu and his comrades from the Japanese devils, but now they are being used to guard Lao Gu himself. "Watcher dog! Watchdog! Open the door! Open the door! I will teach you how to shoot and how to aim... Why do you lock me in this room? What kind of prison is this? If you want to go to jail, go to the county. Don't sit in your private prison!"

No one paid him any attention, and it was polite not to handcuff him.The struggle is ruthless, and there is no bourgeois stuff like "human touch" and "theory of human nature".After an unknown period of time, he was tired, his voice was hoarse, and his throat was so dry that he could smoke.He drank a glass of cold water, his eyelids seemed to be filled with lead, and he fell to the floor along the back of the door, and fell asleep unknowingly.In the middle of the night, he woke up from the cold, so dark that he couldn't see his fingers.He groped to the side of the bed, pulled off the cotton blanket and draped it over his body.He paced up and down the floor, like a trapped or captured general... At this moment, he seemed to have cleared his mind, and began to calm down and think about what happened during the day.He immediately regretted and felt ashamed: a member of the Communist Party, a man who was born as a soldier, suffered a little grievance and backed a little injustice, so he beat the wall and beat the door, yelling at the whole Qingshiban Street, like an old woman Gu Yanshan, Gu Yanshan, you have participated in the revolution for more than 20 years, and you have joined the party for more than 20 years. You still can’t stand the test of this idea? Do you think

In peacetime, the sun is always warm and the sky is clear, without dark clouds and rainstorms? When you were demobilized and went to work in a local area, you were a platoon leader, a big sesame seed... He had some thoughts that were usually hidden in his mind. Come on, these are thoughts that you are afraid of committing crimes when you think about it on weekdays.You are still from the North China Field Army, but Marshal Peng Dehuai and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng used the words of old dramas to say that he was a first-class ruler, and the founding fathers held a meeting in Lushan in 1959 to speak for the people and oppose the large-scale steel smelting. He ate in the public canteen, was dismissed from office, turned in his uniform as a marshal, and became a right opportunist... Who in the world doesn't know that he has been wronged and wronged, and criticizing him for fighting him is ignorant of his conscience and against the will of the people.Afterwards, our country went through three years of hard times, and we stopped making steel and boiling iron for the whole people, we stopped launching cowhide satellites, and we stopped eating public canteens. Didn’t we adopt his suggestion... But what is the current movement? After the end, the people have just breathed a sigh of relief, and the production and life have just recovered a little bit of energy, and then they come to calculate the accounts of the three years of difficult times, the accounts of policy relaxation during the difficult times, and the accounts of "rightist overturning the verdict"! Do not recognize people... Marshal Peng, Boss Peng, what is Gu Yanshan compared to you? A small stationmaster of a town grain station, an ordinary "Northern soldier", and he was only suspended for self-reflection and explained the problem.I didn’t really arrest you and go to prison, handcuffed and handcuffed... Hahaha, Communist Party members go to the Communist Party’s prison, there are such strange things in the world! Nonsense, nonsense...Of course, Gu Yanshan also understands. My thoughts have gone off the rails, gone off the rails, very dangerous, very dangerous.The thought of taking help is put in the head and in the heart

inside.If this "thought" is really a braid, or a tail that grows out, and someone grabs it, it will be bad luck, and it will really go to jail. Gu Yanshan's mood was up and down, and his thoughts went back and forth.He still couldn't make sense of the struggle that had fallen upon him.Mr. Peng always pleads for the people, speaks out for justice, and breaks court disputes face to face.When did he, Gu Yanshan, think about and discuss government affairs? Is he up to it? How far away.He is loyal and honest, and has always done what the party tells him to do.He is just a good old man and a peacemaker in Furong Town in the hinterland of the Wuling Mountains. Start fighting yourself, beating yourself, and destroying your own fighters by yourself? How terrible and unreasonable it is to "live and die" every now and then.So, did I really do something to be sorry for the revolution and the party? Ah, "stealing and selling grain from the national treasury" and "stealing and selling grain from the national treasury" may refer to the fact that he sold it in batches from the rice mill in every fair for more than two years. Sixty catties of broken rice corn tofu business for "Sister Fu Rong"... You see, you see, I am really a fool, such a thing that everyone in the town knows is obvious, but he spent a lot of money on it. It took three days to think hard.

After seeing this code list, he felt a little relieved, and felt that the problem was not as serious as what was announced by the working group and stated in the official document issued by the county.Over the years, some units and individuals in the town have bought broken rice corn heads from the rice mill at the grain station, fed pigs and ducks, and raised chickens and rabbits.Of course, the boss of Criticized Rice Valley sells rice tofu for Hu Yuyin, maybe he really didn't do his job properly... Heck, where did this idea come from? To be honest, although I don't have any evil thoughts about women, the whole town Everyone knows that he is a decent person, but he kind of likes that Hu Yuyin, likes to see her smiling face, especially those big black and white eyes, and likes to listen to her voice.As soon as I sat at her rice tofu stall, I felt comfortable and friendly.A beautiful and gentle woman is always pleasing, men like it, and women like it too.Could this be considered a sin? I can't enjoy the tenderness of a woman in my life, so I don't even allow a small world of tenderness in my heart? There is no moral problem, and it will not affect Hu Yuyin's marriage and family. He just decided Help this "Sister Furong".Could it be that the broken rice grain head turned into rice tofu for sale, and it was a big mistake from a quantitative change to a qualitative change?

Gradually, he became calmer.He knew that he couldn't get out of "reflection" for one or two months, and he couldn't "go down" the "stairs", and he would be watched when he urinated and defecated.This day is hard, sad.It used to be that every morning when he got up, he would wave a bamboo broom to clean the Qingshiban street in front of the grain station, smile with the commune members who were going to work early, and hug and hug a certain baby who was carrying a schoolbag to school.Every day at dusk, he used to walk along Qingshiban Street to relax, and stop at the door of a certain shop to chat.Or being dragged into the shop by an old cousin to drink a cup of sweet potato shochu, chew on fried peanuts, and put on a long-men array talking about the past and the present... But now, these hobbies and joys of life are gone.He and the neighbors in this town are close at hand, but far away!

On the fifth day after Gu Yanshan was announced to be "suspended for self-reflection", team leader Li Guoxiang "went upstairs" to him and had a "political attack" talk with him. "Lao Gu, have you been a little nervous these days? Alas, you are an old comrade. Originally, we only had to respect and ask for advice. Unexpectedly, the nature of the problem is so serious. The county party committee may want to treat it as a model of this movement. !" Li Guoxiang still had such a clear and pleasant accent.Whenever listening to her talk, Gu Yanshan thought, what a pity this golden voice is not used for serious purposes, why not become an announcer at the county radio station?

Gu Yanshan just nodded to Li Guoxiang indifferently.He has a complicated view of the female team leader, he despises her a little, admires her a little, and pity her a little.But there is such a woman, who now represents the county party committee, and controls the fate of the whole town, including her own fate at once... She is very capable, and her superiors think highly of her. Yes, one word for Marxism-Leninism, one word for class struggle, "four cleans" and "four unclear".He talked for three to two hours without taking a sip of water or coughing, as if he had been trained in an institution of higher learning that specialized in reciting revolutionary phrases.

"How is it? What are your thoughts these days? In my opinion, no matter how important the problem is, as long as it is clearly explained to the organization, it will not be difficult to solve. At the same time, from my personal point of view, I would like you to clean up as soon as possible. Take a warm bath, 'go downstairs' as soon as possible, and join the revolutionary masses of the whole town in the current great campaign to re-educate party members and cadres and reorganize the class ranks." In order to show his sincerity, Li Guoxiang moved this "Northern soldier" and specially Added a sentence: "Look, I just want to talk to you individually, and I didn't ask other members of the working group to participate. At least, I don't have any personal prejudice against you!" Gu Yanshan was still not moved by her sincerity, just raised his eyes and glanced at her, that look seemed to say: You can say whatever you like, anyway, I won't tell you anything. Li Guoxiang seemed to have sensed his resistance, and decided to throw some material at him to see if he would jump up.So I took out the small book with dense memories from my pocket, flipped through the pages one by one, and then stopped on a certain page, and said in a blunt, business-like tone: "Gu Yanshan, here is an account, a figure, you can listen to it! According to the internal investigation and external investigation of the working group, since the second half of 1961, in the period of two years and nine months, that is to say, Furong Town has one fair every five days, six fairs in January, a total of one hundred and ninety-eight fairs, and you sell sixty catties of rice in each fair to Hu Yuyin, a female street vendor in this town and a member of the new bourgeoisie, and make it into rice tofu as a commodity. Eleven thousand eight hundred and eighty catties of rice. Is this true?" "More than 10,000 catties!" Sure enough, when Gu Yanshan heard the number, he stood up abruptly.This number was really a bolt from the blue to him, he had never thought about it or calculated it like this! "It's not a small amount, is it? Hmm!" Li Guoxiang sneered.It seemed to be admiring: look, it was only lightly stabbed like this, and then it jumped up, what's so difficult to deal with. "But that's the boss of Broken Rice Valley, not the rice in the national treasury." Gu Yanshan couldn't hold back any longer, and argued loudly as if he couldn't stand being wronged. "Whether it's broken rice or rice, the director of the grain station, can you personally afford 10,000 catties? When did you grow rice? If it's not in the state treasury, where is it? Have you reported it to the county grain bureau? Who gave it? You have such great power?" Li Guoxiang still sat motionless, but he was firing a cannonball from his mouth. "Broken rice grains are broken rice grains, and rice is rice. I sell them to her in batches at the public price, and also to units and individuals on the street. There are accounts to check, and I don't get a single penny for personal gain." "It's so clean? We didn't get a penny, maybe we believe it. But you, a single man, have the benefits of a single man..." Li Guoxiang said calmly and enlightened.She stared at Gu Yanshan, feeling a burst of pleasure in her heart, like a hunter who sees a reckless goat fall into the hanging net he set up. "Is it necessary for the working group to remind you of this kind of thing?" "What single man's income?" "Sister Rice Tofu is a Xi Shi from Furong Town, she has white and tender skin!" "Fortunately, you are still a lesbian, you can say that!" "Stop putting on airs. Which cat in the world doesn't eat salted fish? It's not too late for you to tell me. When did the relationship between you two start? She has the guts to do this kind of business. Wasn't her mother a prostitute?" "I have something to do with her?" Gu Yanshan was so anxious that his eyes bulged out, he spread his hands and took two steps back. "Huh?" Li Guoxiang turned his face sideways, showing a bit of coquettishness unique to coquettish women, and asked back in pretended surprise. "Team Leader Li! What can I have to do with her? Can I? Can I?" Gu Yanshan had several veins like earthworms crawling on his forehead. "Li Guoxiang! You bitch! Call your team members, I'll take off my pants and show you... Oh, damn it, why am I talking nonsense..." "Gu Yanshan! What kind of rascal are you playing!" Li Guoxiang stood up as soon as she slapped the table. She seemed to be impatient and couldn't bear it anymore. . "What kind of hooligan are you playing in front of me! What an old bachelor! If you want to take off your pants, I'll call a town meeting and tell you to take them off in front of the crowd! You're too presumptuous to be a hooligan in front of the working group!" "I, I, I was in a hurry. I told you to push, to push...I didn't say that..." After all, Gu Yanshan is an honest and kind person, and he doesn't have much experience in fighting. The handle, the attitude quickly softened.He covered his face with his hands: "I have made other mistakes, but this one is not worth it. I, I have a man's disease..." "To be honest, it's pretty much the same." Li Guoxiang was surprised to hear this man reveal his privacy in front of her, and felt fresh.She felt a kind of shy joy, feeling that she was a strong man, and finally overwhelmed the male citizen mentally, "Lao Gu, sit down, let's all sit down. Don't be impatient. I haven't treated you all this time." Have you ever lost your temper? You made a mistake, how can you still show your attitude? Our working group operates in accordance with the party's policy, and we must learn from past mistakes to save cadres, cure diseases and save lives; unless we deal with the die-hard elements of the resistance movement, we will deal ruthless blows... ..." With that said, Li Guoxiang went back to the desk and sat down like a demonstration.Gu Yanshan also returned to the original chair and sat down.He felt weak in all his limbs, and a chill of sorrow and grief came over his heart. At this time, the two sports backbones at the door were probing their heads, and Li Guoxiang waved towards the door, motioning them to retreat. "Lao Gu, let's talk about it again. In front of the working group, you can explain everything clearly, and I can directly take responsibility for you in front of the county party committee." Li Guoxiang resumed the clear and pleasant tone that was like chatting at home that day. , continued to implement the tactics of attacking the heart, decided to expand the gap, struck while the iron was hot, and completely defeated the leader in the hearts of the people in Furong Town. "Your problems are far more than these. It may be much more serious than we imagined! Even if you and Hu Yuyin are not adulterers, the economic and ideological connections always exist. You used 10,000 catties of broken rice from the country, even the broken rice you mentioned, to support her in abandoning agriculture and doing business, and engaged in capitalism, and became the number one upstart in Furong Town. This woman is not simple. Hu Yuyin and Li Mangeng are What's the relationship? Brother and sister, Li Mangeng is not as sick as your so-called man, right? You know, Hu Yuyin is a woman without children. As her political backer, Li Mangeng has long protected her in Furong The town makes huge profits. Besides, what is the relationship between Li Mangeng and Qin Shutian? What is the relationship between Qin Shutian and Hu Yuyin? What is the relationship between Hu Yuyin and the town tax director who was a bureaucratic landlord? We checked, and the tax office only charged Hu Yuyin one piece per fair. and Hu Yuyin’s monthly turnover is more than 300 yuan. What’s the problem? So you guys, in fact, for a long time, both inside and outside the party have congenial interests, used each other, and colluded with each other. Huddled together, influenced the political economy of Furong Town, in fact it is a small group..." Speaking of this, Li Guoxiang deliberately paused. Sweat beaded on Gu Yanshan's forehead: "What kind of clique is there in this town! What kind of clique is there! This is bloody spouting, this is killing people..." "Why? I'm scared! You are a social being." Li Guoxiang raised his voice and became stern, "Of course, as long as you know each other well and explain clearly, you can consider not being classified as a small group. Frozen Three Chi, it's not a day's cold. Last year, some revolutionary masses in the town reported your situation to the County Public Security Bureau... If you don't deal with it as a small group, the working group can try its best to report it to the county party committee... But it mainly depends on the attitude of you people.Hu Yuyin was dishonest, and she absconded in fear of crime.But we caught her husband Li Guigui to question her. ...Lao Gu, aren't you a well-known good person and peacemaker in the town? If anyone in the town wants to, just take the lead.It’s still delicious to toast, it’s not fun to involve so many people in it, and it’s not fun..." It's really earnest, benevolent and righteous. "My God! I've got my head on my head! There's no clique in town..." Gu Yanshan seemed to have aged ten years suddenly, and his whole body was drenched in cold sweat.
