Chapter 58 hand washing

1986 was the most prosperous year for Hujiapu.In that year, the annual output value of "Hujia Noodles" exceeded 100 million for the first time.It was also in that year that Hu Tian became a Hujiapu native and got a fixed salary.The wages are the same, from Hu Tiancheng to the old sheep herder, 250 yuan each.Hu Tiancheng said, people say that our Hujiapu people are "two hundred and five", so we will be two hundred and five! At the meeting, that statement was categorical, and no one objected.However, one person stood up suddenly.But he didn't say anything, and sat down again sullenly.

After that, for a long time, Hu Tiancheng never showed his face again. At night, someone saw Hu Tiancheng pacing in the woods... Yes, someone's gaze made him feel uneasy.There was an ominous smell in his eyes.After a few days, Hu Tiancheng said to Genbao intentionally or unintentionally: "The sky is too dry, it's time for some rain." After hearing this, Genbao didn't say a word, he knew that Hubo's words were true. pointed. Sure enough, on the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month of that year, the day when the Stove Lord went to heaven, Wang Bingcan, the director of the flour mill who was in charge of supply and marketing, was called by Hu Tiancheng.When he entered the hut, the room was full of people.These people are the cadres of the village.

Hu Tiancheng glanced at him and said, "Bingcan, are you back?" Wang Bingcan said in an expressive tone: "I'm back. Hu Bo, I'm not bragging to you. I have 28 sales points in my hands! People have said that only me and no one will be recognized! Only in Beijing, I went to Beijing. After more than 40 times of running back and forth, this time it is finally done." Hu Tiancheng laughed, and Hu Tiancheng said: "Bingcan, you have done a lot." At this time, Wang Bingcan took out a cigarette from his pocket, which was "555" produced in the UK.He lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said carelessly: "It's nothing. I have a characteristic, that is, I have a good memory. I will remember it as soon as I meet it. See you next time. I will definitely let him know." take me Out to eat!"

At this time, Hu Tiancheng glanced at him again, and said lightly: "Bingcan, there is a basin over there, go and wash your hands." Wang Bingcan was taken aback for a moment, and said casually, "Hands? I've washed them, and I've already washed them at home." Hu Tiancheng smiled and said, "Have you washed it? Let's wash it again." At this moment, Wang Bingcan still didn't think about other things, he said in his heart, wash it again, just wash it again.Wang Bingcan put the burning cigarette on the edge of the table.When I came to the basin stand by the door, I put my hand into the basin and rubbed it carefully.Then, he wiped it off with a towel and said, "What's the matter?"

Everyone saw that cigarette, it was "555"... Hu Tiancheng said, "Have you washed your hands?" Wang Bingcan said, "It's cleaned up." Hu Tiancheng said again: "Is it really washed?" Wang Bingcan raised both hands, smiled and let Hu Tiancheng look at it, and said, "I even made some soap." At this time, Hu Tiancheng's face darkened, and he said slowly: "Bingcan, then you hand over the key." Only now did Wang Bingcan look at Hu Tiancheng foolishly, and it took him a long time to wake up.He hesitated and said, "I, what did I do wrong?"

Everyone looked at him silently without saying a word. Hu Tiancheng said, "What do you say?" Wang Bingcan was in a hurry, and he stuttered: "I, what did I do, what did I do wrong?" Hu Tiancheng looked at him and said: "If you really can't remember it, you should hand over the key first, and go back and reflect on it. When you think clearly, come to me again." In Hujiapu, Wang Bingcan is the famous "iron-billed duck", he can be said to be famous.Wang Bingcan was a soldier, in 1971.When I was in the army, I worked as an acting platoon leader for a while.After he came back, he often boasted to others that he belonged to "8341", the Royal Forest Army!He said, do you know what the Imperial Forest Army is?That is the guard of the Central Committee, commanded by Wang Dongxing, who directly defends Lao Mao (he does not say "Chairman Mao", but always says "Old Mao", as if he is also the leader of the Central Committee)!He said that at that time, he often played chess with Zhu De.Zhu De always called him, kid, kid...Zhu De always made him give up, so he reluctantly made a draw.He also said that he had guarded Peng Dehuai back then.At that time, there were a group of "old guys" living in "Shifangyuan" (to put it bluntly) such as Lao Peng, Lao Tan, Lao Luo... a group of marshals and generals, all under his control!He also said that he was able to be the platoon leader (acting) mainly because his throat got wet.He has a good throat and can shout commands, "Stand at attention, take a rest, look to the right..." He shouted very well.As soon as the regiment held a meeting, he was asked to go up and shout the password. His voice was like a bell, and he could shout ten miles away with one voice!For a while, he almost became a "password cadre".He bragged to others that he filled out all the forms for transfer, but in the end he still didn't get transferred.He said that his loss was also due to his mouth. His mouth was too broken, and he had been in the group for a while, and he also told others what he shouldn't say.The most important thing is that he has a "little Roman". happy.With a word from the head of the group, he was finally "demobilized"... At the beginning, Wang Bingcan always said that the people in the village were stunned, but after talking too much, people didn't believe it.Finally one day, someone exposed him, saying that he was a soldier in Beijing, but he was an engineer, and he was a "soldier" there.

So people nicknamed him "Iron-billed Duck". But at this moment, "Iron-billed Duck" was standing there, feeling chills all over his body. He really couldn't remember where he went wrong.In the past, for a while, he has been a praised figure! At that time, for a while, Hujiabao's noodles couldn't be sold, so Hu Tiancheng personally ordered him to be the sales director of the flour mill.At that time, Hu Tiancheng called him and said, "Bingcan, I want to use something from you." Wang Bingcan quickly said, "Uncle, you can use it. As long as I have something on me, you can use it." Hu Tiancheng said : "I know you have a good mouth, I will use your mouth. You can do sales for me." Wang Bingcan said: "Okay, I can do anything. I am familiar with Beijing, and I have no acquaintances!" Then, Hu Tiancheng Said: "What else do you need? Tell me." At that time, Wang Bingcan was nothing, and his tone was very loud.Wang Bingcan thought for a while and said, "I'm in charge of the sales business. Does it matter if I say it?" Hu Tiancheng said, "Forget it. From today onwards, you will be the director of the sales factory." Wang Bingcan didn't know what to say for a while.Unexpectedly, Hu Tiancheng said again: "I'm in charge of sales, I'll go out and run all day, and I'll give you another car." All of a sudden, this "horse" is too high!This is something Wang Bingcan never dreamed of.

Hu Tiancheng actually gave him an old Santana and asked him to drive around!Hu Tiancheng told the cadres that Bingcan has a good mouth, so let's use his mouth.So, he went to supply and marketing.He has worked in the flour mill for seven years, and it can also be said that he has made great contributions to Hujiapu.Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and slowly untied the bunch of keys tied to his belt... Handing over the bunch of keys meant that he had been dismissed from his post. The next morning, during morning exercises, Hu Tiancheng shouted loudly in front of the whole village: "Has Wang Bingcan come yet?"

At this moment, Wang Bingcan, who was standing in the crowd, hurriedly said, "Here we are." I saw Hu Tiancheng said with a dark face: "Raise your hands and let everyone see!" Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wang Bingcan's face turned red. He blushed and slowly raised his hands... At this moment, the whole village turned to look at him, and no one spoke.I just heard Hu Tiancheng say: "Bingcan, are your hands clean?" Wang Bingcan felt aggrieved, so he said nonchalantly, "I don't know where I went wrong." Hu Tiancheng said: "Well, go back and think about it."

So, on the square in Hujiapu, Wang Bingcan walked out of the crowd alone... with thousands of pairs of eyes behind him.He was the only one who was picked out. After that, for three consecutive days, every time the village held a meeting, Hu Tiancheng asked Wang Bingcan to raise his hand for everyone to take a look.Then I asked him, Bingcan, are your hands clean? ! ... In this way, Wang Bingcan became a guilty person in the eyes of everyone.In Hujiapu, the greatest punishment for a person is isolation.When you walk in the village, no one pays attention to you, and no one talks to you.All you see is a stare of indifference.

Suddenly one day, Wang Bingcan took the initiative to stand in front of the whole village, raised his hand, and held a cigarette in his hand.With tears in his eyes, he said, "I know where I went wrong. My hands are not clean. When I went to Beijing to contact business, I received a total of five cigarettes and four bottles of wine from others. The one in my hand The stick of cigarettes was given by Manager Wu, I didn’t hand it in, I’m not human, I’m guilty. Now I’m going to check with all the young and old in the village..." Hu Tiancheng looked at him sternly and said, "Bingcan, I have been waiting for you. On the first day, if you confess, I will forgive you. On the second day, if you can confess, I will forgive you. I I have been waiting for you for three full days, but you have not explained." Wang Bingcan hurriedly said: "I was wrong, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. My hands are not clean. I confess to all the old and young men in the village." Hu Tiancheng said very seriously: "Where is Hujiabao? This is a clean land! This clean land is not allowed to be polluted. There can only be one word for Hujiabao, and that is the word 'gong'. Hujia The word "private" is not allowed in Fort! If you want to make a fortune personally, then you should leave Hujiapu! How many times have I said this? Hujiapu does not belong to any one person, Hujiapu is a whole. In the future, Hujiapu The stalls are getting bigger and bigger, if you leak a little and I will take some, wouldn’t Hujiapu become a rat’s hole? What appeal does the collective have? I think it’s better to let the stalls go!” Wang Bingcan said at the meeting: "My hands are not clean, I have lost the face of the collective, I am discrediting the collective..." Hu Tiancheng said: "Bingcan, let me ask you, who owns the house you live in?" Wang Bingcan lowered his head and said, "From the village." Hu Tiancheng said, "Where's the sofa in the room?" Wang Bingcan said: "The village match." Hu Tiancheng said, "Where's the wall clock?" Wang Bingcan said: "In the village." Hu Tiancheng added: "Where's the food? Where's the water? What about the electricity? What about the mooncakes on August 15th? Tell me!" Wang Bingcan said: "It's all issued by the village." Hu Tiancheng said: "Oh, you still know?!" Wang Bingcan shook his head and said, "I was wrong. I'm done wrong." So, after Wang Bingcan's self-criticism, Hu Tiancheng asked: "Wang Bingcan realized his mistake. Everyone said that he failed the test?!" Everyone shouted in unison: "No pass!" In this way, Hujiabao held a one-month "washing hands meeting".At the "washing hands meeting", Wang Bingcan walked up to the stage with a basin of clean water every time, and "washed his hands" in front of the whole village.Whenever Wang Bingcan washed his hands in public, some villagers yelled loudly: "Soap! Soap!" So some good-natured people ran to get soap and sent it up, asking Wang Bingcan to wash his hands with soap again and again in public.Every time, after washing his hands, Wang Bingcan would raise his hands in public and walk around the venue for everyone to take a look... When the "washing hands meeting" was held for the tenth time, an old man named Wang Muyuan in the village frightened Had to piss my pants! One night, Hu Tiancheng called Wang Bingcan to the hut.Hu Tiancheng said lightly: "Bingcan, sit down." But Wang Bingcan didn't dare to sit, Wang Bingcan just stood there, he lowered his head and said, "Uncle, I'm convinced. I'm really convinced." Hu Tiancheng smiled and said, "You are not convinced. I know you are not convinced." Wang Bingcan said: "The water is too big to overflow the embankment. I am really convinced." Hu Tiancheng said, "Are you convinced?" He said, "I've taken it." Hu Tiancheng said: "Then let me ask you, are you considered a 'talent' in our Hujiabao?" Wang Bingcan hurriedly said: "I am not a dog. I am a foodie, I am a pussy! What kind of 'talent' am I? I..." Hu Tiancheng waved his hand and said: "You are wrong. This shows that you are not telling the truth. In Hujiapu, you are considered a 'talent'. If you are not a 'talent', I would not use you. You are a 'talent' 'It's true, but there is one thing you haven't figured out, that's what people use. If you use you, you're a 'talent'. If you don't, you're nothing. Is that right?" Wang Bingcan nodded and said, "Yes, yes. The old man is right." Hu Tiancheng sighed, squinted his eyes and said, "Bingcan, you are rebellious." Wang Bingcan was taken aback, and quickly denied it: "No, no. Uncle, the conscience of heaven and earth, I really don't have it!" Hu Tiancheng said lightly: "You don't have to be nervous. Being rebellious is not a bad thing." Wang Bingcan said repeatedly: "No, I really don't. Uncle, tell me, even if I have ten Wang Bingcans, I can't match one of your little thumbs! To be honest, I had some ideas about the treatment, and that was just an idea." .I never thought of anything else!" Hu Tiancheng said: "It is right to dare to think, that is to dare to think and dare to do." Wang Bingcan said with tears: "Uncle, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. You can deal with it as you should." Hu Tiancheng squinted his eyes and leaned on the sofa, and didn't speak for a long time.After a while, he said in a low voice: "Bingcan, I've thought about it over and over again. You are a 'talent'. It's a pity not to use you. Use it, and the masses have some opinions. Your uncle is very embarrassing. So Well, there are two paths for you to choose. One is that there is an economic union at the township government, and there is a lack of a director there. Give the masses a chance to get to know you again..." Wang Bingcan stood in a daze for a while, then murmured, "Uncle..." Hu Tiancheng closed his eyes and said, "Go ahead. Work hard."
