Chapter 10 past

April 22, 2004 When the "May 7th Directive" shined brightly, educational reforms were launched in schools.Our first year of high school is the "six good" company over the years, digging air-raid trenches to prepare for war, conducting mass criticism, going to the Beifeng branch school to work, going to the school to run factories and learn workers, etc., to be pioneers in everything.This education reform is no exception.Within a few days, Lian Duan organized the students to go out of the school and visit the Beijiao livestock farm. Everyone is excited and sees this as an outing.The four of us good friends gathered together to study the food to bring.Huafu said: "Bring cakes." Yizu said: "Cakes and biscuits need to be served with water, and bring a kettle." Huafu said: "With milk." Yamin asked: "Where is the milk?" Huafu said: "You can drink the milk from the livestock farm." We were pleasantly surprised, deeply impressed by Huafu's wisdom, and agreed to bring different varieties of cakes and exchange them for each other.

the next morning.We didn't gather at the school and waited at the intersection around the city.Soon, I heard the sound of singing gradually.The whole company came in four columns.We got into the team one by one, seeing everyone carrying marching pots, looking at each other and giggling.Teacher Xia stared at us fiercely.We hurriedly stopped laughing, and shouted as we walked: "Crossing the forest—crossing the snowfield—" Teacher Xia is a girl in her twenties, plump and pretty.She just graduated from the teacher's academy, young, but very strict.Fortunately, she is pretty, and everyone can accept it, especially boys.

When we arrived at the livestock farm, it was already daylight.Company Commander Zhao told the team to rest on the spot, and then went into the arena to find someone.Everyone flocked to the small toilet with a low wall next to the road.Due to the large number of people and the crowding, the toilet was too heavy and seemed about to burst. The sky in Liao is extremely blue, so blue that it is shockingly refreshing.As I was thinking foolishly, Huafu leaned on my shoulder: "I'm so exhausted, I 'played straw sandals' last night." I looked at his shoes, "What straw sandals?"

Yamin laughed wildly. Hua Fu pushed me away: "I don't even understand 'playing straw sandals'." I was ashamed when the whistle sounded suddenly.The teachers of each row summoned the assembly, and everyone lined up.A few students who were waiting outside the toilet, taking the overall situation into consideration, endured and ran back to the team.At this time, Company Commander Zhao led a man in his thirties over, raising his hands and clapping as he walked.Everyone also clapped their hands, "Pa, pa, pa..." One clap after another, very rhythmic.Company Commander Zhao said loudly: "This is Deputy Leader Yang of the Animal Farm Leather Leader Team." Everyone exclaimed, "You are the leader of the leather leader team at such a young age."Yamin speculates that he was the leader of the group because of his meritorious service in the rebellion.Huafu analysis is based on the "three combinations" of old, middle-aged and young people.The two disagreed with each other and argued in low voices.We took pleasure in other people's misfortune and watched them arguing, so we didn't even know what Deputy Team Leader Yang introduced.

Suddenly, the team turned right, drove into the livestock farm, and came to visit a cow house.The cattle house is about 100 meters long, with red bricks and gray tiles. The floor in the house is paved with cement, and the stone strips on both sides are separated into fences.The line passed slowly through the middle aisle.Five or six cattle, either lying or standing, scattered in each pen, remained indifferent.Deputy team leader Yang pointed at the team leader and introduced.We fell one by one in four rows at the end of the line. We were too far away to hear. Everyone felt left out and complained from time to time.Teacher Xia also seemed displeased, her fair and tender face turned red, and seeing everyone arguing again, she couldn't help but get angry: "What are you arguing about? What are you arguing about? Can't you hear me? Can't you feel it yourself?" feel.

The team walked out of the cowshed and came to a pasture.The pasture is as large as a dozen basketball courts, undulating and extending to the foot of the North Peak. The green grass is lush and gently swaying in the wind. From a distance, you can see more than a dozen cattle eating grass leisurely.Everyone was excited.Yi Zui said: "This is really a prairie, and the Inner Mongolia prairie is nothing more than that." Bai Xue, who had something to do with Huafu, pouted her pink lips and sang "I love the Hulunbeier prairie—" full of enthusiasm.I really wanted to cry when I heard it, but for Huafu's sake, I had to endure it silently.

The sun moved to the sloping top, and the light was shining.The person was hot from the sun, and his eyes sparkled.Fortunately, Company Commander Zhao announced that the visit would be over for a while, and he would rest for half an hour.Everyone scattered.The stoic classmates rushed to the toilet.We found a shade and sat on the ground.Hua Fu lay down on the grass, closed his eyes, and kept calling for comfort.I saw other students holding their marching pots upside down and pouring water with their necks upside down. I was eager for it, so I asked Hua Fu, "Where is there milk?" Yamin and Yizhu also clamored for milk.Hua Fulai said on the grass: "There will be milk." We refused, dragged Hua Fu, and hugged him to find milk.I searched all over the place, but I couldn't find a drop of milk.Yizu asked a man who shoveled cow dung: "Comrade, our mouths are dry. Do you have any milk?" I ran away in anger, and cursed at that person, saying that he must be "the rich and the bad right", and that he has class hatred for our red successors. Then we besieged Huafu, pinned him to the ground, and stepped on three feet.Hua Fu shouted: "The crime deserves death!" He repeatedly begged for mercy.

Back in the shade, we hooked our shoulders and walked up to the platoon leader Shuqin.Hua Fu said: "'We are all from all corners of the country, for a common revolutionary goal,' came to the livestock farm,'Our cadres must care about every soldier...' As he said, he pointed to the marching soldier on Shuqin's waist pot.Shuqin blushed, untied the marching pot, handed it to Hua Fu, watched with pain as we took turns drinking, eyes getting wet.We drank and praised the platoon leader as a model of loving soldiers, almost like a door.Shuqin rubbed her eyes, and said, "Why is the wind so strong?" Baixue stood aside, her pink mouth tightly pursed, and she glared sideways at Huafu.

"Gather in four rows!" Suddenly heard a call, I followed the sound, and saw Teacher Xia standing on the grass field, with one hand raised straight and the other extended horizontally, I followed everyone to Teacher Xia and quickly lined up. Teacher Xia glanced at the team, and said: "The next visit... Everyone, no speech, no discussion, no whispering. Male students stand on one side, female students stand on the other side, and no walking is allowed. The whole platoon must continue to carry forward the high level. organization and discipline..." As she spoke, she glanced at us: "Just now, some students ran around without organization and discipline. I hope they will fight against private interests and criticize repairs after returning to school. Our four rows The phenomenon of anarchism will no longer be allowed to continue to proliferate."

After Teacher Xia finished speaking, he led the whole platoon and ran to a brick building.The platoons also arrived one after another.Following Company Commander Zhao's command, the men and women of the entire company lined up in one team, the women's team stayed still, and the men's team walked ten steps forward and then turned back.Boys and girls are suddenly in stark contrast to each other, and they are very polite to each other, not daring to look at each other.Only Yi Zhe opened his eyes and inspected the girls one by one.Hua Fu couldn't bear it anymore and pressed Yi Zuo's head.

At this time, I saw a middle-aged man walking with two scalpers.The scalpers bulged their eyes and stared at the people in the lane, showing a little panic.The middle-aged man shook the ox rope lightly, and led a yellow ox into a rectangular wooden frame. The ox rope was tightly tied to the horizontal post, and another ox was tied to a nearby post.Then, he clapped his hands, looked at the teams on both sides, and said loudly: "Wait, what you do is called artificial insemination. That is, take out the bull's sperm, optimize it, and then put it into the cow, so that it can give birth to excellent breeding cows." , It’s very simple. This one in the wooden frame is a cow, and the one outside is a bull.” After speaking, he walked into the brick house. There was confusion in the team, and everyone discussed in low voices.Yi Zui looked suspicious, turned around and asked Teacher Xia: "Teacher, what is sperm?" Teacher Xia blushed, "Go back and ask your father." Everyone snickered.Teacher Xia reprimanded: "What are you laughing at? Don't laugh!" Everyone immediately fell silent. Hua Fu pointed to Yi Zui: "This guy doesn't even understand sperm, have you ever 'played straw sandals? That's the one..." We approached Hua Fu, and were about to listen to his in-depth introduction, when we suddenly heard Teacher Xia shout: "Hua Fu! Are you still not paying attention?" Hua Fu hurriedly shut up and turned his head to look at the mountain. Teacher Xia's words are very meaningful.Once, during class, Hua Fu was holding the "Barefoot Doctor Textbook" and was staring at the diagram of the female reproductive system, and was caught by Teacher Xia on the spot.That textbook, as a "yellow book", was confiscated and handed in.The leading group of the school revolution attached great importance to this matter, thinking it was a new trend of class struggle, and held a special meeting to criticize it.Now, when Teacher Xia bluffed, he immediately stopped Hua Fu. At this time, I saw a middle-aged man walking out of the brick house, holding a bamboo tube with glass embedded in it.He walked up to the bull, untied the rope tied to the post, led the bull, and walked slowly around the cow.The cow stood docilely still, expectant.The bull circled around a few times, gradually became excited, stomped on the ground, and leaned against the cow frequently.The middle-aged man is still holding on to the rope, and continues to circle the bull.The bull walked more and more anxiously, jumping around, shaking his head constantly, trying to break free from the rope.Suddenly, the middle-aged man threw the ox rope onto the ox's back and dodged to the side.The bull rushed back, rushed behind the cow, jumped for a while, raised its head, jumped up in the air, and put its two front hooves on the cow's back. The audience was extremely quiet.The boys stared round and stared piercingly.The girls all lowered their heads and watched quietly.Bai Xue covered her face with her hands, and occasionally let go of her fingers to take a peek.Hua Fu stared at Bai Xue and cursed in a low voice: "Fuck, fuck..." I was afraid that Teacher Xia would hear me, so I turned to look at Teacher Xia.Teacher Xia stood on a brick, raised her head slightly, and was staring blankly. Suddenly, the cow swung back, and only heard a "plop", and the bull slid down.Everyone exhaled and shook their heads, feeling very sorry.But the bull was not discouraged, shook his head and sneezed loudly, raised his two front hooves steadily, and rested on the cow's back again.Everyone cheered up again, and watched again.Yiti clenched her fists and worked hard for the bull.The bull trembled, its lower body protruding gradually. "It's not good, it's not good..." Bai Xue stomped her feet repeatedly and turned her back. "What's the matter? I'll just watch." Shuqin glanced at Bai Xue, then raised her head to look at the cow. At this time, the middle-aged man walked up to the bull, grabbed the lower body of the bull with one hand, and put the bamboo tube into it with the other.The bull hummed happily for a while.The middle-aged man took out the bamboo tube, held it up for a look, and then walked into the brick house.The bull jumped off the cow's back and walked around the cow leisurely. The team is in disarray.Everyone rushed into the brick house and watched the middle-aged man operate on the test table.The middle-aged man stared intently at the liquid in the test tube.Everyone scrambled to see and pushed each other.I was weak and was squeezed out of the crowd in a few strokes, so I had to walk out of the brick house, feeling very depressed.Suddenly there were few people at the window, so I ran to see it, because it was closer, so I could see it more clearly.I was pondering over the liquid in the test tube when I heard Teacher Xia softly ask Teacher Song in the second row, "Is this human?" Teacher Song pinched the end of his braid and said, "I don't know. Shhh, student." The teacher glanced sideways at me.I pretended not to hear, turned and left. After a while, I saw everyone hugging the middle-aged man and pouring out of the brick house.The middle-aged man grabbed a syringe-like thing, walked up behind the cow, and inserted the thing into the cow's hind body very carefully. After a while, he pulled out the thing, looked at everyone, and said, "It's over. Very soon." Simple." Everyone nodded, looking extremely solemn. The tour is over.Company Commander Zhao convened the lost team and announced a break for lunch.Everyone finally looked forward to this moment and was very excited. They made an appointment with their good classmates and wanted to find a place to have lunch together.Suddenly I heard Teacher Xia's cry: "The fourth row stays where it is!" Everyone stood there disappointedly, suppressing their appetite, and opened their eyes to see the delicious meal of the students in the other row. Teacher Xia put her hands behind her back and said sharply, "Don't look! The homework assignment is for composition. Based on what we saw and heard during today's visit, each student will write a narrative essay. Tomorrow is Sunday, everyone will write at home and due on Monday To the monitors of each class. Attention, the composition should focus on the central idea, the paragraph level should be clear, and the language should be lively. Everyone should make a draft first, and then copy it in the composition book. No less than nine hundred words..." Everyone complained.Huafu said: "One day is not enough, at least three days." Yizhu said: "I can't write 900 characters if I write to death." Although I am good at writing, I am only good at refuting papers. On", "Reading to be an official theory", etc., can be criticized four or five times without repetition.The writing of the narrative was not going well, so I often labored my father to write it.At this time, seeing everyone complaining, I was secretly happy, and followed suit. Teacher Xia took a step forward: "What are you arguing about? What are you arguing about?" Everyone immediately fell silent.Teacher Xia hissed, "I've never seen you like this! When we were in high school, we were all overjoyed as soon as the teacher assigned a composition. We immediately conceived it, made an outline, looked for vocabulary, and wrote it in one night." .Some students write in class after school, and it takes more than an hour to finish it in one go. How can it be called a short day like you..." After hearing this, everyone was ashamed and dared not make trouble anymore.At lunch after the break, everyone just ate in silence, with no interest in having a picnic, and on the way back to school, they were even more dejected. That night, I wrote a composition at my desk.Faced with a blank sheet of paper, but unable to write, I wanted to ask my father several times, but because of the "artificial insemination" issue, I dared not speak up, just thinking hard.In the middle of the night, I finally drew up the topic: "We took a firm step to visit the livestock farm in the northern suburbs". I was very proud and wrote the opening chapter again. After looking for it for a long time, I have either used it or it is not appropriate, so I can't help but feel discouraged.When I looked up, I suddenly saw the couplet on both sides of the portrait of Chairman Mao on the wall: "There are thousands of willows in the spring breeze, and the 600 million Shenzhou is full of Shun Yao". I was so surprised that I copied it immediately.Then, I wrote a paragraph about the great situation at home and abroad, but after thinking about it inappropriately, I erased it again.People were tired and sleepy, so they climbed into bed and fell asleep. When I woke up the next day, it was past nine o'clock, I hurriedly got up, drank a bowl of porridge, and wrote at my desk.Scribbling, altering, and going through a lot of hardships, I wrote two stanzas, but I couldn’t write any more. I simply gave up my pen, got up and walked to Huafu’s house.After knocking on the door for a while, Hua Fu came to open the door, blocking the door with his body, asking me what's the matter.I glanced behind him and saw a figure in the room. I suddenly realized that I patted him on the shoulder and said, "You guys are busy." I walked away to Yamin's house.Seeing that Yamin was also writing hard, I grabbed the paper and read it. When I saw the beginning, I asked Yamin: "How do you learn from me?" : "Why did I learn from you? I wrote it early this morning." I said: "I wrote it last night." Yamin said again: "I also thought about it last night." We disagreed with each other, so we guessed. .As a result, Yamin showed his index finger and I showed my thumb.Seeing that he had lost, Yamin picked up his pen distressedly, and deleted the first two sentences.Seeing that he was uncomfortable, I talked about what happened at Huafu's house just now.After Yamin listened to the music, he held me back and ran away.We ran to the building opposite Huafu's house and looked at Huafu's house from a distance.About half an hour later, the door of Huafu's house was slowly opened. Huafu stretched out his head, looked left and right for a while, waved inside, and saw Baixue rushing out the door, hurried away, and then walked away slowly as if nothing had happened. We laughed wildly.Yamin gave me a push and said, "It's even more exciting than "Coastal Wind and Thunder"." When I went to school the next day, as soon as I entered the classroom, the class leaders urged everyone to ask for the composition book.When school was over, there were more than 50 people in the line, and only a dozen books were handed in.Teacher Xia was furious, and threw more than a dozen composition books on the teaching desk: "Keep all the ones that have not been handed in, and you are not allowed to go back if you don't finish writing!" More than a dozen students walked out of the classroom with their heads held high.The students who stayed behind were lying on the desks and rushing to write essays.Teacher Xia walked back and forth in front of the blackboard with her hands behind her back, raising her wrist to look at her watch from time to time.Suddenly, she walked out of the classroom slowly, and rushed to the school cafeteria. There was chaos in the classroom.Everyone was arguing.Yamin waved his hands and said, "This is a crackdown! It's a revival of the revisionist education line! We should hold high the banner of revolution and carry out a big criticism! A big struggle!" Don’t we know that we are hungry? Let’s go back to eat too!” Everyone clapped the table in response, but no one dared to leave the classroom. After a while, I saw Teacher Xia running from afar holding a small lunch box.Everyone flew back to their seats like a frightened bird.Teacher Xia walked into the classroom, put the lunch box on the teaching desk, patted the lunch box, and said, "I'll be with you." Yizu waved her hand and said, "Teacher, the meal will be cold, you can eat first. We promise not Watch you eat." Everyone also promised not to watch. Teacher Xia said, "I don't want you to care about it. Write it to me quickly." After she finished speaking, she walked along the aisle and inspected one by one. He taught the lunch box on the desk and asked, "Teacher, do you only eat this little? It's too little. Teacher, take care of your health." Everyone laughed.Teacher Xia yelled: "Yizu, stand up for me!" Yizu twisted her body and slowly stood up, standing crookedly. Teacher Xia nodded Yizui's forehead: "You talk a lot, just talk! Let you stand up and talk about it. You can't write the composition, and there are a lot of messy words. Why don't you say it? Tell me, why didn't you write the composition?" Finished writing? Did you go play yesterday?" Yizu said: "I didn't play, but I can't write. I asked my father, he, he, he slapped me, saying that the school engaged in feudalism and asked students to watch hooligans. He also said, Say……" Teacher Xia asked urgently, "What else?" Yizu raised his eyes and looked at Teacher Xia: "I also said, said, reading is not enough, I have to write it out. He is going to report to the school's workers' propaganda team. He said that he knows the leader of the workers' propaganda team, Qi, who works in his factory. .” Teacher Xia panicked, strode to the desk, grabbed a composition book, and said, "Who told you to write that? I didn't ask you to write that at all. Look at what Bai Xue wrote." She opened the In the composition book, he gestured and said: "Bai Xue, most of them are about visiting the cowshed and the pasture. When I visited that, I just wrote briefly, just like that, you listen, 'Finally, we also visited the scientific experiment. Isn't it? Science experiment, when did I ask you to write that?" As if I had found a treasure, I hurriedly grabbed the pen, imitated what Teacher Xia read, and wrote down: "Finally, we also visited the scientific experiment." After finishing writing, I grabbed my schoolbag, walked to the desk, and handed the composition book to Teacher Xia . Teacher Xia sat there with blank eyes. As soon as I walked out of the classroom, Yi Zhe also ran out laughing and joking, and some classmates came out one after another. May 16, 1988
