Chapter 9 Eight

I'm going to write a letter of complaint to our editor-in-chief.Because Fatty Wang's legitimate rights were violated by the editor-in-chief. Before the "Cultural Revolution", several reporters from our interview department co-authored a book: "The History of the Development of Revolutionary Journalism".It was revised and republished last year.Among the original authors was Fatty Wang.Although he is not the main author, he has put in a lot of effort in looking through materials and running errands.Now that the book is about to go to press, there is a problem with the author's signature.The editor-in-chief wants to erase Fatty Wang's name because he is a "rebel".At the same time, the editor-in-chief has to add his own name, called "consultant".I think this is wrong.Although Fatty Wang made mistakes, he has been "liberated" and is still a citizen. Why should he deprive others of their freedom of the press?Moreover, the so-called "consultant" is purely for fame.In fact, he neither "concerned" nor "asked", but made a few phone calls for us and found a few "relationships" to further collect historical materials.If this is the case, you have to sign it. The cook in the cafeteria of the newspaper office is more qualified than him.It's a pity that such a clear right and wrong has been reversed in our book editing team.The meeting discussed for a long time, or nothing was said, and those who spoke were all praising the editor-in-chief. It seemed that hundreds of thousands of words were written by "consultants".Naturally, at the same time, Fatty Wang had to be scolded for a while: he still has the face to admit that he is the author of this book?In the past few years, he kept calling this book a poisonous weed!This is true.However, as far as I know, if the name of the person who scolded this book is not worthy of being printed on the book, then the names of all authors are not worthy, including me! "Consultant" is even more unworthy!Who doesn't know that he once declared in public that he never touched this "big poisonous weed"? When the "Cultural Revolution" began, he was still the leader of the movement.He was the one who initiated the criticism of this book first!

But who wants to offend the editor-in-chief?I don't want to worry about it either. Fatty Wang found me because I was the leader of the editorial team and had a good relationship with the editor-in-chief.Lan Xiang also interceded on his behalf, and reminded me in particular: Fatty Wang is kind to us.Moreover, he has just actively bought a woolen jacket for Lan Xiang, and the money has been padded. We will pay back when we have money.Long-term interest-free loan! I don't care about the "kindness" of the past or the "friendship" of today.However, I would like to change my problem of taking a detour when encountering conflicts.Sun Yue has repeatedly pointed out that I have this problem.I found the editor-in-chief, and I only talked about half of my opinion: Fatty Wang's name should be kept.I think that if this goal is achieved, the editor-in-chief can compromise by calling himself a "consultant".Anyway, all he wanted was a name, not a fee.Who knows that he can't agree to this point.The editor-in-chief said: "Get rid of Fatty Wang, which is to implement the policy of the proletariat, and let him write a book to develop the idea of ​​fame and fortune? No way! The proletarian policy is not lenient. Fatty Wang can't understand this matter. It makes sense. Think about how he messed with people a few years ago!" The editor-in-chief also kindly warned me: "You used to have a close relationship with Fatty Wang, and we all know it. We did a lot of explaining work for you among the masses. The fact that you are the director of the interview department cannot be announced immediately because of this relationship. Be careful yourself! We want to reuse you, and you should cooperate with us!"

I am annoyed.Could it be that my Zhao Zhenhuan's bones are made of water?What shape does it become in any container?Can I violate my conscience for the sake of being reused?I no longer want to be a follower. So, I wrote a "Letter from the Masses" to the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee.The Minister of Propaganda quickly wrote to the newspaper: "If the situation is true, Comrade Zhao Zhenhuan's opinion is correct and should be taken seriously." Today, the editor-in-chief called me over and conveyed the minister's instructions to me, respectfully.However, he suddenly changed his face: "But the situation you reported is not true. The removal of Fatty Wang is obviously your group's own opinion, and our leader has not expressed his position. How do you push the responsibility to the top? Well, Let's study this matter. We will deal with it according to the party's policy."

In the blink of an eye, the hen turns into a duck.His problem became my problem.Plaintiff and defendant switched places.The thief shouted "stop thief", but I became a character who wanted to run away.I knew it was useless to argue with him, so I decided to write another letter to the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee to clarify the issue.In the past, I was not serious about my work, and it was difficult to follow through.This time, there must be a beginning and an end, so that he can distinguish right from wrong. I spread out the report paper and sketched out an outline for the letter.Be serious.Be organized.Be clear.Be sharp.Fatty Wang came over with a smile, holding a roll of manuscript paper in his hand.

"Old Zhao! This is a newsletter I wrote. The editor-in-chief personally read it and wants to send it out. He also asked me to bring you a note." This is another miracle!I looked at the miracle worker in front of me and smiled.This smile is specially made.Inexpensive and durable.Melting adultery, flattery, and stupidity all in one furnace.Earn big interest on small capital.A lot of money.I don't laugh like that.It's not like pretending. I stretched out the note, and the editor-in-chief's flamboyant words jumped into my eyes one by one: "Lao Zhao: I asked the masses to find out, and I also talked to Comrade Lao Wang himself. I think Lao Wang's attitude towards his mistakes is correct. . His name should not be removed from the authorship of "The History of the Development of Revolutionary Journalism". Please re-study the book, insist on implementing the party's policy, and report the research results to me."

I have always been amazed by the "Shamao skill" on the stage.A scalp is covered with a black gauze, and the black gauze wings can conjure up various tricks.Wusha dances, all relying on a scalp.It is probably difficult to learn to use the scalp hard, right?However, if the scalp is not used hard, the black yarn will not show its majesty, and it may even fall off.If the scalp is hardened, will the brain inside shrink? Do people's cadres have to dance with their veils on their heads?Do you only use your scalp and don't care? The editor-in-chief's note was seamless.I saw Wushawing dancing.Rotating gently and slowly, it means that the head inside the gauze hat is relaxed and happy, full of joy of victory.

I threw the note on Fatty Wang: "I don't care about this matter! Please ask the editor-in-chief to catch it directly! I can quit the editorial team." Fatty Wang stuffed the note into my hand again: "Forget it, Lao Zhao! How can you not bow your head under the eaves of others? You and I know it well. I won't say that you, Lao Zhao, want to pick my name off. You are a friend, and I can't thank you enough." I sneered: "What about you? Are you friends enough? Did you still stand up straight under the editor-in-chief's roof just now?" I can imagine how he bent over and kneeled.

He still had a smile on his face: "I won't do three prostrations and nine prostrations, don't worry! Of course, I don't dare to put on airs like you." I put on airs?Apart from my whole body of bones, what other shelf can I put on? "Old Zhao! Our purpose is to prevent our name from being removed. What's the big deal about taking a small loss on self-esteem? Which party in power doesn't take flattery? Why do you have to be serious?" On the contrary, I am so serious!I can't wait to slap him twice and tell him not to laugh like this again from now on!I can't stand it.I kicked him out.

I really hate myself for being nosy and self-inflicted.It's not that I don't understand Fatty Wang, why did I fight for him?Look, he was betrayed instead!This is really: "The road of Taihang can destroy a car, but it is smoother than people's hearts; the water of Wu Gorge can capsize a boat, if it is more peaceful than people's hearts." No wonder Sun Yue repeatedly blamed me for being naive and superficial. Well, Fatty Wang!You and I are not really friends at all, and I won't bother you any more in the future. The two rooms filled me with smoke. As soon as Lanxiang Dai Huanhuan entered the room, she called: "The smoke is dead! The windows don't open!" She went to open the window, but I refused: "I like this." She walked over Looking at the ashtray, he immediately said, "Fatty Wang came here, what did he talk about? Are you so upset?"

She is so familiar with Fatty Wang that she can even distinguish the cigarette butts left by Fatty Wang.What is her relationship with Fatty Wang?I ignore her. "Hey! The editor-in-chief approved the article written by Fatty Wang. Fatty Wang's fortune is coming!" Look at her joy!It seemed that she was Fatty Wang's wife, not Zhao Zhenhuan's.Before coming into contact with me, people called her "the chief mistress of the rebel headquarters".I didn't believe it at the time.Now I wonder why Fatty Wang is so eager to match us up? "Huanhuan! Did you bring back the toy Uncle Wang gave you?" she asked.

Ring!Does Huanhuan look like me?Soon after I met her she became pregnant.She told me the first day that Fatty Wang begged me for red eggs with winks the next day.Hmph, who knows if it's a well-made trap?I'm such a mess! But Huanhuan looks like me.That's what people say.The contours and eyebrows are similar.But what does this mean? "What are you writing? I put it away for you. It's time to eat." What did you write?Send your Fatty Wang a complaint letter of injustice!An errand I found myself.If you want to sue, you should sue Fatty Wang. He has "en" to us, hum! He talked to me and said that my relationship with Lan Xiang had been leaked, and if I didn't handle it properly, what would happen.I had no choice but to propose a divorce, but Sun Yue refused to die. He found his "rebel comrades" who worked in the court for me, got two divorce certificates, stamped the big seal of the rebel team, and the formalities were completed.I lied to Sun Yue, I am sorry for the child. This hoop is definitely mine.Otherwise, be so close to me. "Huanhuan, come here! Let Dad hug you." In City C, beside Sun Yue, I still have Huanhuan.How is the ring now? "Humph! That's great! Take the photo with you, it's close to your flesh." Lan Xiang suddenly sneered and threw something at me.A small plastic clip.Inside was a photo of my original family of three. "You copied my drawer!" I was angry. "I'm looking for something! I locked the drawer every day and said it was a manuscript. It turned out to be this!" Lan Xiang was crying and fussing.Sun Yue will not be like this. After receiving my letter asking for divorce, Sun Yue came here.I locked her in a room alone and did not allow her to see her.I was afraid to see her, afraid to hear her talk.She doesn't make noise, let alone talk to my friends.She writes on the table every day, writes the words of persuasion in a notebook, and puts the notebook in my drawer. "This is a special diary, Zhenhuan! Check it out, for the sake of our childhood friends, and for our Huanhuan's sake." One mistake will cause eternal hatred, Zhenhuan! Promise me, even if you divorce me, you will not marry this Feng Lanxiang. You will not be happy. Promise me, promise me!" I firmly insisted that I had nothing to do with Feng Lanxiang, and I wanted a divorce only because I disagreed with her in thinking and personality.She began to really believe it, and kept reviewing me in the diary.But one day, she found a photo of Lan Xiang and me together, a braid of Lan Xiang, and Lan Xiang's disgusting date letter.If she publishes these, I will lose all face.I figured she would do that.Who would have expected that she would destroy all of this in front of my face!I told Lan Xiang about it, and Lan Xiang said it was to buy my heart. At this time, her school workers and the military propaganda team sent people to take her back, and said that her crime of promoting restoration was exposed... what!I jumped at the chance again.Fatty Wang helped me at this juncture.Sun Yue, Sun Yue!I'm sorry for you! Huanhuan reached out and asked me for a plastic clip, but she also cried when I refused.Children should not be allowed to see their parents quarreling over such matters, and no more children should be harmed.I suppressed my anger and stopped talking. But Lan Xiang didn't care about these at all.She snatched the child from me: "Huanhuan, let's go! Tell him to go find Sun Yue!" Huanhuan innocently asked: "Who is Sun Yue?" Lan Xiang pouted and replied: "Your father's sweetheart! " Trembling with anger, I gritted my teeth and said to her: "If you really want me to go, I will go! As long as you don't regret it. I will never regret it. Even if she kicks me out, I am willing." It worked.Lan Xiang immediately wiped away her tears, pushed Huanhuan in front of me, and sat down to cry.I'm so boring and shameless!Bullying an ignorant woman like this.I have inherited this tradition from our ancestors - to blame bad women for everything bad.Lan Xiang is not yet a bad woman.At least I have no evidence that she is a bad woman.I'm not satisfied with her because I often compare her to Sun Yue.This unlucky woman!Who told you to entangle me in the first place? "Okay, don't cry. Hurry up and get something to eat, let Huanhuan go to bed early!" I said to her gently. Lan Xiang obediently went to Zhang Luo.Also prepared wine for me.Such a woman, in someone else's home, can be the king and hegemony.Mismatched.Also standing on the wrong team and following the wrong line, haha! After a few cups of hot wine, she is my wife again, and I am her husband again.It has always been like this.She caught my weakness.However, can wine make me forget Sun Yue and Regret?She is dreaming, poor dream! I've had enough of this life.How much I want to tell Sun Yue my troubles and ask for her forgiveness.How much I want to walk side by side with her by the river and on the road as before, talking about ideals, literature and art, news, love, and hatred!How I want to read her letter, a letter rich in content, beautifully written, and sincere in emotion.There is a river so close to the end of the world, and I have painstakingly written in two places.All letters were burned.I originally wanted to burn it up and forget it completely... Now, I have to be a spiritual eunuch. At work, I only speak "official Chinese", and at home, I only talk about eating and drinking. Sun Yue will not forgive me, nor should I.I did it so meanly. No, I don't want to sleep today.I sit for a while.Sit for a while.It's good to think about these things, and it's also comforting to think about. The complaint letter written for Fatty Wang has just begun.Now of course tear it up.Why should a dog bite a mouse?The letterhead printed by the newspaper this time is really good, thin, slippery, tough, and hidden.In the past, I used this kind of letterhead to write letters to Sun Yue. She said that reading such letters was like appreciating the art of calligraphy.My father taught me to write a good handwriting. I took a piece of blank letter paper and wrote a few words: "Sun Yue: I ask your forgiveness..." My pen was taken from me.Lan Xiang stood behind me unknowingly and unknowingly, the flesh on her cheeks trembling, wanting to have a seizure but not daring to do so.I pity her. "What are you going to do with this family? I admit that I have something to do to you. But after I get married, I have nothing to do with you. I will live with you wholeheartedly. What do you want from me?" Confession and sorrow from the heart can make a vulgar person shine a little bit.Lan Xiang's current face is really like the Madonna painted by Da Vinci, the beauty of the world and the holiness of the gods are combined.It can be said to be charming.I've never been so impressed by her.Of course, I have also been moved in the past, but what was moved was only instinct.Today, she touched my mind.I think, if the conditions are changed, Lan Xiang may also become a beautiful, noble and educated woman, like Sun Yue.Naturally, a woman exactly like Sun Yue would not seduce me to leave Sun Yue.By coincidence, all this! I took her hand and made her sit down beside me.I should talk to her.cheat.Fooling around, it's not good for me or her. I said to her: "Lan Xiang, I never really loved you." She curled her lips in disbelief.She couldn't tell what was acting on the occasion and what was falling in love with each other.Can this be her fault?She dropped out of school after only reaching the first grade of junior high school.She received a unique social education. "I will not divorce you, and I will not establish any improper relationship with another woman behind your back. It is enough to regret doing this kind of thing once in a lifetime." She blushed, knowing that I meant the relationship with her relation.She's not quite stupid. "Since fate has brought us together, let's make do. Anyway, I never gave you my heart, so don't ask me to do so now." Her eyes were blank, restless, terrified, angry... Strange, I feel a little bit of relief about this, as if I let out a bad breath for Sun Yue.What did Sun Yue look like when he received the divorce certificate? "Only a broken wing knows the vicissitudes of life. How about licking blood and touching scars?" A wounded person, a wounded heart.Licking your own scars, sucking your own blood.How sad and angry those eyes must be! The feeling of relief expands and becomes the pleasure of revenge.To whom?To Feng Lanxiang, and also to Zhao Zhenhuan!Sun Yue, we punish ourselves.You should be comforted. "Let's make a three-chapter agreement!" My tone was terribly cold. "What?" She didn't understand. "I mean, let's set a few conditions that we must abide by in order to keep this family going." I gave a popular explanation. "What condition?" she asked nervously. "First, we are not allowed to disclose our conflicts to outsiders. To the outside world, we will always be a happy little family." I said. "I'm not a fool, let others see it as a joke." She promised very readily. "Second, no one mentions Sun Yue in front of Huanhuan. Don't let the child know what happened before." I said. "I would like to mention Sun Yue? I hope there will never be Sun Yue in the world!" She actually showed a little smile. "Okay, now for the third rule: being faithful to each other without interfering with each other." "What does this mean?" She really didn't understand. "In behavior, we must be faithful to each other. As for what each person thinks, no one cares." I explained. "You miss Sun Yue all the time, I can't control it, right?" She said sharply, "I forbid you to write to Sun Yue!" I don't answer.Sooner or later I have to write to Sun Yue and ask her for forgiveness.And that Huanhuan, she is really the crystallization of love. Lan Xiang suddenly covered her face and cried.I pulled her up from the stool: "It's time to sleep." She leaned on my shoulder, so pitiful. Sun Yue, I beg your forgiveness!
