Chapter 26 Five stilted buildings collapsed

Life often has a harsh sneer on the unfaithful. Over the years, shame and annoyance, like an invisible and ruthless whip, beat Li Mangeng's body and heart from time to time.His heart was covered with dirt.He betrayed the precious feelings of his youth and betrayed the oath he made.In the unjust case of Hu Yuyin being classified as a new rich peasant and Li Guigui committing suicide, he added fuel to the fire, added fuel to the situation, and became an accomplice.Sometimes he even put his palms together under his nose and smelled nervously, as if he still smelled a little bit of blood. However, loyalty and betrayal are always entangled in Li Mangeng's life.He betrayed the brother-sister friendship with Hu Yuyin (and it was transformed from pure love), betrayed the oath he made standing on the bank of the Furong River, and betrayed his own conscience.However, handing over the 1,500 yuan in cash that Hu Yuyin had entrusted to him to the county party committee working group was showing his loyalty to the party organization.What a huge and complicated contradiction! As early as 1956 when he was a district civil affairs officer, he sacrificed his unforgettable love in order to be loyal to the organization.In the face of organizations and individuals, revolution and love, his rationality always prevails over sensibility, and revolution rejects love.He recklessly puts the concept of organization above everything else, blindly following to the point of ignorance, and has never doubted or explored what line this so-called "organization" is implementing.He doesn't have that level.Get used to obeying.Indeed, he also once thought that many leading comrades are also from bad backgrounds and have complicated social relations, but they combined revolution and love, rationality and sensibility so well and harmoniously in the age of wars, and even held a ceremony on the execution ground. wedding.They love and hate for the same cause and the same goal.But that’s fighting the world, and it requires bloodshed and sacrifice! Of course, the team needs to be expanded to fight the world, and anyone can participate. The door cannot be closed too tightly, but the door must be opened...Nowadays, it’s sitting on the world and guarding the country.Of course, the team must be pure and pure, and the revolution needs to constantly struggle, purge, and clean up the interior.Only by checking the three generations and five servings can the purity be guaranteed.Therefore, it is necessary to sacrifice the revolutionary's personal love and even conscience.Conscience can't be seen, can't be touched, how much is it? And the petty bourgeoisie only talk about the conscience of heaven and earth... In this way, Li Mangeng betrayed Hu Yuyin and pushed her into the pit of merciless blows.

But today, history has come to a conclusion, and life has made a correction: Hu Yuyin was misclassified as a rich peasant, and Li Guigui was persecuted to death.Li Mangeng, Li Mangeng, you despicable betrayer, you selfish villain, you bloody accomplice! What kind of Communist are you? Are you worthy of being a real Communist? Which article and paragraph of the Party, which No. 1 document of the Party requires you to do this? Who do you blame? Ah, there are not many people who are as helpful as you are.Who can you blame? Bastard, who can you blame? Li Mangeng often blamed himself and cursed himself like this.However, can you blame yourself? He is a born gangster, bad guy, villain? To Hu Yuyin, to the fathers and folks in Furong Town, I have never done a good thing, I have never had a heart of innocence, I have never Have sincere, pure feelings? Obviously not.Hu Yuyin, the charming girl who was the owner of Huji Inn back then, has always been a bitter fruit of life to him, and has always condensed love, resentment, and hatred in his heart.Even if she became a rich peasant widow, she hangs a black card to parade in the streets, wears a high hat to show the public, and fights on stage, but she has never murdered her, hated her, or trampled her... For this, the party branch of the brigade, the Town Revolutionary Committee, He was criticized and educated many times by Li Mangeng, criticizing his right deviation, criticizing his "theory of human nature" and "theory of extinction", until he was revoked from the position of secretary of the brigade, only he was not expelled from the party. "Theory of Human Nature" ah "Theory of Human Nature", what is "Theory of Human Nature"? What shape and color? Round, square, flat? Yellow, white, black? , very poor imagination.He just felt that the "theory of human nature" was stuck in his throat like a group of bran and vegetables, and he couldn't chew it, spit it out, or swallow it. He was afraid it would turn into throat cancer.He is so embarrassed, there are sufferings that are hard to describe, and there are things that are difficult to explain.Left and right are not people.The yellow mud in the cracks of the rock formations has been clamped into dry flakes, not seeking moisture, only survival.This world, this movement, this struggle, is really unpredictable and unpredictable. You want to follow it closely and be faithful to it, but it plays tricks on you and treats you like a monkey...

"Poor bastard! Li Mangeng, you poor bastard!" For several years, he was depressed, self-pitying and ashamed, like a serious illness.A tall and thick man who carried hundreds of catties and walked hundreds of miles, his back was hunched, and his broad shoulders seemed unable to bear an invisible and extremely heavy package.Later, even his woman, "Five-claw Spicy", was frightened by his expression, worried that he really had some kind of disease. The woman "Five-claw Spicy" is also quite complicated.When Hu Yuyin was "lucky" selling rice tofu, she was afraid that men would be nostalgic, so she often hung horseshoes under her tongue and "kicked and kicked" her mouth, full of jealousy.For the 1,500 yuan in cash, she made a fuss, cried and howled, forcing the man to report and hand it over.She even gloated over a sense of security.As a result, the man gave up his heart to "Furong Jing".But then, year after year, she watched Hu Yuyin sweeping the streets wearing a nigger hat, and felt guilty again.Even a bad woman should not suffer this retribution for the rest of her life... The man has a gloomy face all year round and never talks about it with her.But she knew what a man was suffering from.She sometimes feels that she is also at a loss.When Hu Yuyin gave birth to the baby, she sneaked into the Old Huji Inn to visit like a thief. The baby was so fat, with red hair, hands and feet like lotus root, strong and tight.What should it be called? An illegitimate child, a wild cub? No, they call it Junjun, who has a master, and Qin Shutian, a rightist who has been sentenced to labor reform, is his father.Later, Xiao Junjun grew up year by year, and he could run and jump. "Five-clawed Spicy" even called him into his room and gave him a piece of candy to eat.What a bitch has a life.The baby has round eyes, looks like his mother and his old man, very handsome. "Five-claw hot" has a little liking for this baby.Because she later raised two more children, she is still a "passer-by".Now there are "six thousand gold (jin)" in total.Sometimes when people ask a man how many cubs he has, the man always raises his finger in a muffled voice and reports that the yield of the field is the same: "Three tons." "Five Claws" slowly realized that men also like Xiao Junjun.Every time Xiao Junjun enters the house, he puts a smile on the corners of his eyes and mouth.The first time you laugh, the second time you hug, the third time and the fourth time you don't distinguish between old and young.Seeing the man happy, "Five Claws" is also happy.If a man stays depressed and moaning, he will really get sick. She "five-clawed hot" drags six girls to beg for food, and no one will give it to her!

"Junjun, come here, I'll give you some fruit!" Li Mangeng sometimes gave snacks to the dry gold at home, and also left a portion for Xiao Junjun. "No, my mother will scold me. My mother forbids me to beg for food from others, lest they look down on me." Xiao Junjun spoke eloquently and did not extend his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the fruit, clearly wanting to eat it very much.At a young age, he began to fall into the contradiction between sensibility and rationality. "Wujiaola" watched from the side, and also felt that the baby was pitiful and painful: "Junjun,

Your mother and son only have one ration, do you have enough to eat at home?" "Mother always waits for me to eat first.I only eat when I have leftovers.Sometimes when I refused to eat, my mother would beat me, and then hugged me and cried..." At this point, Wa'er's eyes were red. Li Mangeng and "Wuzhuola" heard it, and their eyes were also red. They understand It turns out that a widow with such a baby who is eating a long meal, two of them eat one person's ration, and they have to be controlled and sweep the streets every day. They are suffering. "Five claws" themselves, After the men ceased to be cadres, life was much easier. Li Mangeng was a good laborer. In addition to earning more work points from collective work, the private land was even more profitable. In four seasons, a family of eight could not win. The fairs sold them all. "Wujiaola" and his sisters are also very profitable in managing pigsty and chicken farms, like running a small savings bank. The couple have shared hardships and joys and sorrows. Besides, there are more children, older and younger At that time, the jealousy and jealousy also subsided, so the family was harmonious.

Money is hard to buy and look back. After the fall of the "Gang of Four", people are rediscovering themselves.After years of singing, martial arts, sports and struggle, everyone has an account.Make amends for past mistakes, repent of sins.With a clear conscience, rest easy.Those who do many evils cannot escape the punishment of history. Li Mangeng and "Five Claws" now often stay at home to eat and play with their sisters. "Junjun, does your mother know where you eat?" "Yes." "Did you scold me?" "If you didn't scold me, just call me like a beggar..." It seemed that Hu Yuyin acquiesced.Once, the Li family invited a tailor to make new year clothes for the six younger sisters, and also made one for Xiao Junjun along the way.It was finished according to the size, but Xiao Junjun didn't put it on, but wrapped it in a piece of paper, and asked Xiao Junjun to take it home and show it to his mother.After a while, Junjun came back wearing the brand new clothes and showed them to Li Mangeng and his wife. "Your mother put it on for you?" "Yes. Mother told me to come back and thank uncle and aunt..."

Spring is here, and the thawing season is here.The spring thunder this year sounded early, and the spring rain fell quickly.That afternoon, the commune party committee notified Li Mangeng and Wang Qiushe to attend the expanded meeting of the commune party committee.The meeting was jointly held by the commune party committee and the town committee.The new secretary of the commune party committee severely criticized the Diaojiao landlord for delaying the implementation of the policy for Hu Yuyin and Qin Shutian, leaving a tail behind, and has not returned the new building and the 1,500 yuan in cash; The secretary of the party branch of the Furong Town Brigade and the director of the Furong Town Revolutionary Committee held two positions.The Furong Town Brigade will be placed under the jurisdiction of the Town Revolutionary Committee from now on.

The party branch is temporarily in charge of the old branch secretary Li Mangeng, and an election will be held within a few days.The person in charge of the town party committee and revolutionary committee shall be appointed separately by the county party committee.Before the county party committee's decision was announced, Wang Qiushe ran away in a daze. He didn't bother to pick up his rain gear, so he ran bareheaded into the wind and rain.People applauded desperately and shouted hello.For a moment, the sound of applause and applause in the venue overwhelmed the sound of wind, rain and thunder outside the venue.

The enlarged party committee meeting was held until dark.After traveling ten li, Li Mangeng was soaked through even though he was wearing a bamboo bamboo hat.But his body was warm and his heart was hot.Although I am a little ashamed to resume my position as branch secretary, it is a great joy for the town to remove Wang Qiushe and get rid of the evil in the town.Maybe someone will set off firecrackers for him to send off the evil god. "I heard that you are an official again? You picked up that rotten black gauze hat and threw it on the mountain, and put it on the top of your forehead?" After returning home, "Wuzhuola" asked while watching him change his clothes.

"Where's the news, it's so fast?" "You and Wang Qiushe went to a meeting, and people in the town talked about it, and came to ask me. How would I know? Anyway, I don't care, the private land is yours, and the firewood is yours. Otherwise, our mother You are not allowed to enter the house with seven women. Don’t imagine that in the past, you are also a 'off-duty' cadre at home!" "Okay, okay, it's all up to you. Don't worry, I have become addicted to growing private plots in the past few years... Besides, I will be a sesame mung bean official in the future, and I will also participate in production. The superior has approved our mountainous area to engage in production contracting to the group , Some of them still go to the house, who would be lazy?"

"Wang Qiusnake, a lazy snake, ran back from the rain and yelled all over the street, don't you know?" "What are you shouting for?" "He repeatedly yelled 'Let the big one go, catch the small one', 'Let the big one go, catch the small one'! He also shouted 'Don't forget--', 'Cultural Let’s do it again in five or six years of the revolution—’, ‘Class struggle, life and death—’! This time God’s retribution, this one who suffered thousands of knives is crazy!” "What if he's not crazy? We contracted production to the group in the spring, which group would accept him, dare to take him? Give him a few acres of land, but only grass will grow... His days of living and being a root are over! " While the two couples were talking, they suddenly heard a loud noise like a building collapsing in the wind and rain outside the window! "Whose house collapsed?" Li Mangeng trembled all over. "Five-clawed Spicy" was pale with fright.On the ancient Qingshiban Street, most of them are wooden pavements that have been in disrepair for a long time. Whose family has suffered a disaster again! Li Mangeng rolled up his trousers, put on a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, and was about to go out when he heard someone on the street screaming like an annunciation: "The stilted building has collapsed! The stilted building has collapsed——!"
