Chapter 8 Chapter Seven Wei Na and Dai Qian

At noon the next day, Guo Haoran went downstairs and said, "You are waiting for me in the office after lunch, and I still need to talk to you." Wei Na said nothing, just nodded.How can I have the mood to eat?She closed the office door and waited.I don't know how Zheng Qiulun upstairs eats three meals a day?How I want to go to the lake with him again to steal a herring and cook it. Hearing the knock on the door, Wei Na knew that Guo Haoran had finished his meal.After he came in, as if nothing had happened, he asked, "Have you eaten yet?" Wei Na said, "I've eaten."

Guo Haoran stood up and said, "It's so cold." He went to close the door. Wei Na immediately went to open the door and said, "If you close the door, you will be poisoned by gas." Guo Haoran felt a little unnatural, his hands trembling slightly.Wei Na didn't say anything, just took the tongs and started a fire. Guo Haoran said: "Weina, the comrades in the task force said that you have the closest relationship with Zheng Qiulun, and wanted to find out about the situation with you. I volunteered and said that I would come to talk to you. The task force still has the final say. You know, let others The comrades who come to talk to you may be different in nature, that is, to isolate and examine you. I shoulder the burden for you."

Wei Na lowered her head, built the red coal fire, and then raked it, then built it, and raked it again.Wei Na guessed that Guo Haoran might be looking over her head, waiting for her to say thank you.She said nothing. Suddenly, Guo Haoran touched her ears and said, "Your ears are so beautiful." She seemed to be scalded by coals, she tilted her head, sat up straight, and looked at him. "My ears are also what you talk about?" She only said so fiercely in her heart, her mouth remained motionless.Guo Haoran looked at her for a moment, then panicked and avoided her eyes. He stopped talking and smoked incessantly.Wei Na took a newspaper and fanned the smoke exaggeratedly.He tilted his head as far as possible, and exhaled the smoke to one side.In this posture, his ear is facing Wei Na.She couldn't help but glanced at his ears, and saw that the sides of the ears were black, as if they hadn't been washed for a long time.Something in her stomach was rushing up her throat.

Guo Haoran had smoked many cigarettes before. He poked the cigarette butt into the charcoal ashes, lowered his head and sighed: "Weina, don't you really understand what I think?" Wei Na pretended to be confused and said: "I have never been able to guess riddles since I was a child. I don't know what you mean by this. You are the leader. If you want to talk to me, just talk." Guo Haoran suddenly sat upright, looked at Wei Na and said, "I am a soldier, and I speak straight to the point. I will tell you clearly, I like you very much, and I want to marry you as my wife!"

After hearing this, Wei Na was not afraid, but angry.Not to mention anything else, just the word "wife" sounds very vulgar to her.For the first time in her life, Wei Na felt extremely humiliated when she heard someone use the word "wife" to herself.She turned her face to one side, looked out of the window, and said, "You know I will agree?" There were no trees outside the window, only the yellow sky, and she couldn't feel the howling north wind. Guo Haoran said: "If you are my wife, you will not suffer. I will have a good political future, and we will have a good life in the future. I will try my best to find a way to be transferred to the city as a government official. You can Go to the city to work as a salesperson, put on snow-white overalls and stand at the counter."

For some reason, Wei Na couldn't help laughing and said, "I don't like being a salesperson." Guo Haoran became anxious, and quickly said: "You can also work in a textile factory as a female textile worker." Wei Na said: "Women textile workers suffer from occupational diseases. They have to eat pig blood regularly to clean the absorbed fibers. I hate eating pig blood." Guo Haoran thought about it, but couldn't think of any good job, so he said, "I will let you have a satisfactory job." Wei Na didn't want to tease him anymore, and said seriously: "Commissar Guo, I won't promise you."

Guo Haoran's face darkened for a while, and suddenly he laughed strangely.Looking at his strange smile, Wei Na was disgusted and frightened.He just laughed so strangely for a long time, stood up, and suddenly said coldly: "Don't blame me for being rude to Zheng Qiulun!" Guo Haoran walked out after finishing speaking.Wei Na also stood up, looked at Guo Haoran's back and said, "Zheng Qiulun didn't recruit you or provoke you, why would you treat him like this?" Guo Haoran turned around and said: "This has nothing to do with personal grievances, it is a struggle between two classes and two standpoints. Zheng Qiulun is full of reactionary ideas, and I, Guo Haoran, hate all reactionaries. The US imperialism still has our Guo family's Blood, my aunt was taken captive to the United States, and now I don't know where her bones are buried!"

Wei Na said: "Don't talk nicely, you can come to me, don't make things difficult for Zheng Qiulun, it has nothing to do with him!" Guo Haoran's face immediately turned purple, and he said viciously: "It's related! It's related! If you love him, I will punish him! I will hold his criticism meeting! I will put him in jail, and I will punish him!" kill him!" Wei Na was so angry that she almost wanted to pounce on him and bite him.But her feet were weak, and she sat down, trembling.Guo Haoran turned his back to the door and stared at her.She wanted to cry out, but couldn't.Her voice was very weak, and she said: "You retaliate, you avenge private revenge. Remember what you just said, I'm going to sue you!"

Guo Haoran walked back, bowed his body, almost whispered, and said, "Are you going to sue? What did I say? Who is there? Who will prove you? Let me tell you, the people from the police above have withdrawn , The case is completely in my charge. Whether Zheng Qiulun is dead or alive, I have the final say. His problems can be big or small, big enough to go to jail, small enough to write a self-criticism. You love him so much, you save him Ah! Only you can save him now. I also want to tell you that if Zheng Qiulun dies, it will be at your hands. Without you, I would not be so cruel to him."

Wei Na didn't expect Guo Haoran to be so despicable.She was so angry that she couldn't say a word, but her hands and feet kept shaking.Guo Haoran's mouth was very foul, and she kept spitting.Seeing that Wei Na didn't say anything, he thought she was scared, so he smiled and said, "Think about it carefully, I'll give you two days." Wei Na slammed the office door, lay down on the table and cried.Zheng Qiulun was just three meters above her head. I don't know if he was sitting, squatting, standing, or lying down?Does he eat every meal?Is there a charcoal fire in the room?Did they hit him?Is he thinking of me?It might be comforting for him to know that there is sitting at his feet the person he loves so much.Wei Na just thought so foolishly, there was no way to save him, and she kept crying.She wanted to be stronger, but her tears were unbearable, and she couldn't stop it no matter what.

Wei Na did not eat dinner, and ran to the wasteland alone.The sky soon became dark, the north wind was wrapped in fine rain and mist, and the wolf howled strangely.She ran like crazy, whimpered and yelled.Feeling something crunchy under her feet, she knew she had reached the lake.Maybe the water around the lake has frozen over.She somehow stopped crying, and somehow she screamed again.It was about to snow heavily, only the dead soul bird was still screaming sternly. Back at the farm, Wei Na went straight to the office building, looking at the lit room on the third floor from a distance.I don't know if Zheng Qiulun is suffering from flesh and blood.She thought Zheng Qiulun would probably be hanged and beaten.She faintly felt that someone was sneaking around not far away, and she guessed it must be the militia patrolling the farm.Guo Haoran always said that he must always pay attention to new trends in class struggle and be vigilant to prevent the remnants of the counter-revolutionary group from rescuing Zheng Qiulun, so he arranged for militiamen to patrol all night. Wei Na had to go back to the dormitory.She lay on the bed and wept secretly, and fell asleep drowsily.She woke up in the middle of the night with a headache that was about to explode.Then fell asleep again, but had a nightmare.Wei Na was roasted by the fierce fire, and the huge heat wave lifted her up, smoked into the sky, and floated in the air.That day, there were red clouds in the sky, scorching hot, like fireballs.She called for Zheng Qiulun, her parents and sisters, but no one came to rescue her.Desperate, she fell from the high sky and sank into the icy lake. Wei Na wakes up in a daze.I couldn't open my eyes, but I heard a woman shouting: "The eighth bed is cold, and the whole body is shaking." Wei Na felt that there were many hands pressing down on her, making her unable to move.She finally opened her eyes, and her face slowly became clear.It's Dai Qian. "You woke up, Xiaowei, did you hear me, Xiaowei?" Dai Qian smiled. It turned out that Wei Na was ill and was sent to the Chunfeng Commune Health Center near the farm.Dai Qian was sent to take care of her.Dai Qian looked at her and smiled, and said, "Xiaowei, you are so frightening. You can't get over the high fever day and night, and you keep talking nonsense." Wei Na wants to say, thank you, Dai Qian.But her throat was hoarse, but she couldn't make a sound when she opened her mouth.Dai Qian pressed the quilt on her shoulders and said, "Lie down properly and don't talk. Tell me what you want to eat." Wei Na just looked at her, teary.She thought that Dai Qian was actually a very good person. Dai Qian said: "The leaders of the farm are very concerned about you. Commissar Guo and I guarded you all day and night. He just left early this morning, and there is still something to do in the farm." Hearing about Guo Haoran, Wei Na closed her eyes.She wanted to know how Zheng Qiulun was doing, but she didn't dare to ask. Wei Na lay in the hospital for a few days, and her body gradually relaxed.Guo Haoran came to see her a few times, but she always closed her eyes and didn't speak.Guo Haoran said every time, take good care of your illness.Wei Na didn't think about whether his concern was true or not, but felt that he meant to wait until she recovered from her illness before talking about it.She would rather lie on the hospital bed like this forever. Outside the window, large groups of snowflakes were carried by the wind, rolled up, and then rushed down again.The windows were closed tightly, and the snow made everything look quiet, which seemed to make her feel a kind of silent noise.There was so much confusion in her head. One day, Dai Qian brought in a tall, thin man and said, "He is the secretary of the Chunfeng Commune, named Wu Wei, and he is also hospitalized here, in the ward next to yours." Wu Wei didn't sit down, but stood in front of Wei Na's bed, a little cautious, and asked, "Just tell me what you want. I'll ask someone to pick it up, it's very convenient." Wei Na said, "Thank you, I don't need anything." Her voice improved and she was able to speak. Wu Wei stood for a while, then said, "Let Dai Qian ask me for anything you want." Wu Wei seemed very nervous, and passed away after speaking.Dai Qian went to close the door, came back and sat in front of Wei Na's bed, blushed for a while, and then asked: "Xiao Wei, what do you think... how is he?" Seeing her like that, Wei Na understood what was going on, and said, "She looks very capable and enthusiastic." Dai Qian asked again: "What do you think he looks like?" Wei Na said: "My eyes are blurry, everyone has two heads." Dai Qian lowered her head and looked away, leaving Wei Na with a half red face, and said, "He is the youngest commune secretary in their county." Dai Qian never mentioned Wu Wei's name, and Wei Na knew that she must have fallen in love with this person every time he sipped him. The day before Wei Na was discharged from the hospital, Guo Haoran came again.His head was covered with snowflakes, his face was black and blue, frozen like that.Dai Qian went to Wu Wei's next door. There was no one else in the ward, and the other two beds were empty. Guo Haoran asked: "Have you considered it?" Wei Na didn't answer him, but asked, "What are you going to do to Zheng Qiulun?" Guo Haoran said: "I haven't interrogated Zheng Qiulun these days, and only let him reflect on himself." Wei Na said: "What do you mean, you must exchange me?" Guo Haoran said: "Why do you say it so badly? I am sincere to you. There is nothing wrong with you following me." Wei Na said: "I never thought about whether you are good or bad, I only know that Zheng Qiulun is good." Guo Haoran's tone became severe, and he said, "What's so good about him? He's full of reactionary ideas, and he's just a kid." Wei Na said: "What's wrong with the hairy kid? He can also grow up to thirty-two years old. When he grows up to thirty-two years old, he will be more capable than you!" Guo Haoran stood up abruptly, walked back and forth in the ward, suddenly stopped, looked out of the window, and said, "I can make him live less than thirty-two years old!" Wei Na was so frightened that her head was buzzing, she stared blankly at Guo Haoran.Guo Haoran still didn't turn his face away, turned his back to her, and stared majestically out of the window.At this moment, Dai Qian pushed open the door, Guo Haoran glanced back and said, "I'm talking to Wei Na." Dai Qian retracted her head and went out again.Guo Haoran found a stack of materials from his arms, threw it on Wei Na's bedside, and said, "Look, this is Zheng Qiulun's crime. I kept him all the time and didn't hand him over, it was because of you. I'll be back in half an hour." Opening the material, Wei Na's eyes went dark, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.The words on the materials are always crawling, like maggots all over the paper.Looking at it, she felt that her head was getting more and more swollen.The crimes listed are nothing more than Zheng Qiu's usual remarks, which she is familiar with.His words usually sound very reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with them.However, when put into the logical framework of this material, every sentence is outrageous. Wei Na was desperate, so she had to think about giving in.Her eyes were sore and teary.Hearing the sound of pushing the door, he knew that Guo Haoran had come.Wei Na closed her eyes and said, "You have to promise to let Zheng Qiulun go." "Xiao Wei, what did you say?" It turned out to be Dai Qian. Wei Na opened her eyes and saw Dai Qian was surprised.Dai Qian's eyes widened, and she seemed to understand for a long time, but she was half-doubtful and asked, "Is this the case?" Wei Na nodded and closed her eyes again.Dai Qian's breathing became tense, she let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "Then this person is too bad." Wei Na said: "I wish I could kill him." Guo Haoran came back, and asked with a smile: "Dai Qian, what did the doctor say? When can Wei Na be discharged from the hospital?" Dai Qian said: "I asked, and it will be fine tomorrow." Guo Haoran said: "Thank you for your hard work, Dai Qian. You are very passionate about revolutionary friendship. Thank you from the organization." Dai Qian blushed and said, "I obey the organization's arrangement." Guo Haoran said again: "I'll talk to Wei Na, you can avoid it for a while." Wei Na kept her eyes closed and said, "You have to promise to let Zheng Qiulun go." Guo Haoran said: "You agreed?" Wei Na did not answer, but repeated: "You have to promise to let Zheng Qiulun go." Guo Haoran said: "When a man speaks out, it's hard to follow. However, there must be a criticism meeting. If you agree that day, he only needs to write a self-criticism. In the past few days, many problems have been dug up. If you don't hold a meeting Criticism meetings, unable to explain to the masses.” Wei Na didn't say anything, she closed her eyes and wept.However, Guo Haoran became gentle and said: "Weina, you are still young, thinking about the problem is unrealistic, and you don't know what revolutionary love is. A young man like you who is young and beautiful, and eager to make progress, should be like-minded. Revolutionary comrades form a partner. I have participated in the revolution for more than ten years, and I have withstood various tests. I am firm in politics, solid in work, and hard-working in life. If I can become someone you can trust, we will be together For revolutionary couples who are beneficial to the cause of the party. Let us eliminate misunderstandings, strengthen trust, arm in arm, shoulder to shoulder, and march forward courageously along the revolutionary road guided by Chairman Mao." On the second day after Wei Na was discharged from the hospital, it was still snowing heavily.All the educated youth braved the wind and snow, stood in the stadium and held a meeting to criticize Zheng Qiulun.The rostrum is semi-outdoor, where meetings and movies are usually held.There are three basketball courts next to each other.There is no monogram hanging above the rostrum, and no slogans such as "Down with so and so" are posted.Obviously the critique meeting started hastily, maybe Guo Haoran didn't plan to accuse Zheng Qiulun of any crime, but just wanted to punish him.Guo Haoran did not preside over the meeting himself, but sat majestically behind the rostrum.It was another field leader who announced that Zheng Qiulun would be brought up. Zheng Qiulun was tied up in a big way, grabbed by two militiamen, and pushed out from behind.When he got to the stage, the militiaman kicked him, and Zheng Qiulun knelt down.Zheng Qiulun was very stubborn and struggled to stand up.The host sternly shouted into the microphone: "Be honest! Be honest!" Zheng Qiulun didn't listen, and kept arching his body upwards.The militiamen held down his shoulders firmly, and he couldn't get up no matter what.The host shouted again: "Put your head down!" Zheng Qiulun held his head high.The militiamen went to press his head again. Wei Na stood far away and couldn't see Zheng Qiulun's face clearly, only saw him kneeling in the snow and struggling constantly.She fought back not to cry.But it didn't take long before I felt itchy on my face.Tears had flowed down his face. The host began to read loudly the critical materials against Zheng Qiulun.Wei Na listened carefully, and found that they changed the heinous crimes mentioned in the original materials into serious mistakes.It seems to be lower-key.After the host finished criticizing, he announced that the public would freely expose the incident.After a moment of silence, people kept rushing up to the stage, pointing at Zheng Qiulun and yelling loudly.The momentum of free exposure is more intimidating than the host. Wei Na never expected that Dai Qian rushed up suddenly and shouted: "Zheng Qiulun, lower your head!" Dai Qian's denunciation was pure abuse. In fact, she reversed her usual admiration for Zheng Qiulun, saying that Zheng Qiulun always showed off his talents in front of female educated youths, but in fact he was selling bourgeois reactionary ideas.Dai Qian's voice was so high-pitched and sharp that it made people's ears numb.Wei Na's body was already very weak, but she felt that her eyes were darkened, her legs were weak, and she fell down. Wei Na was helped by the female educated youth and returned to the dormitory.She slept for two days and two nights before barely getting out of bed.In fact, everyone doesn't say anything, and they look down on those who speak on stage.I feel that they are adding insult to injury and are not loyal.No one obviously sympathized with Wei Na, but Dai Qian was left out in the cold. Dai Qian deliberately pretended to be very happy, humming model operas all day long.She is always like this, as long as there is something in her heart that needs to be covered up, she will never leave her mouth, singing revolutionary model operas over and over again.Li Tiemei, Xiao Changbao, and Mrs. Ah Qing got tired of singing, so they kept singing Li Yuhe, Yang Zirong, and Guo Jianguang with their voices. One day, Dai Qian was singing "Communist, always obey the call of the party". When she entered the dormitory, she saw that Wei Na was alone in the quilt, so she stopped singing immediately.She lowered her head and rummaged through the drawer for a while, then stopped suddenly and said, "I'm sorry, Xiaowei." Wei Na felt baffled and looked up at her.Dai Qian looked at her toes with tears in her eyes and said, "I have no choice. Wu Wei wants me to join the party, and I have already handed in the application." Wei Na bowed her head in silence.Dai Qian also said: "Wu Wei told me that I must be more active, join the party quickly, and try to leave the farm as soon as possible and go to the city with him. I really don't want to stay here any longer. What is the life that I live with the prisoners in Xin'an Farm? different?" Wei Na remained silent, curled up in a ball under the quilt.Dai Qian said: "I advise you to think about it. Political commissar Guo is evil, and everyone knows it. He is sincerely good to you. Even if he is older, other conditions are fine. He is a leading cadre with power in his hands. will make you better." Wei Na said coldly: "Then I introduce you to him?" Unexpectedly, when Dai Qian heard this, she burst into tears.Wei Na thought she had stabbed her, but she couldn't bear it. Wei Na is also a bit broken, not getting up on time, not going to work on time, deliberately playing temper in front of Guo Haoran.If Guo Haoran doesn't talk about her, no one else will dare to talk about her.I don't know who made the news, but now everyone in the audience knows that Wei Na and Guo Haoran are getting better.Some people secretly said that she took advantage of Guo Haoran's power to specialize.Wei Na became the most shameless woman in the eyes of the educated youth. In those days, Wei Na could not wake up, she just wanted to sleep all day long, and she could not eat or drink.As long as you are next to the pillow, you will be fascinated and fall asleep.It's like taking sleeping pills.The snow that year was the biggest snow Wei Na had ever seen.Standing at the window of the office, looking ahead, there is a boundless snowfield.The sky is sallow, as if it is dying. After Zheng Qiulun was released, he stopped looking for Wei Na.She still went to him.As soon as Wei Na went to his place, the male educated youths in the dormitory nodded and smiled at her, and hid one by one. Zheng Qiulun seemed to be a completely different person. He became silent and bowed his head in deep thought.His face was thinner and darker.Only those eyes are still piercing.She wanted to persuade him not to be like this and cheer up, but she couldn't open her mouth.The two stayed in the dormitory all the time and didn't talk much.The snow is too thick outside.There has been no farm work for a long time, but holidays are not allowed. One day in the office, Guo Haoran came in and said, "Weina, you are still with him, this is not acceptable." Wei Na said: "Is Zheng Qiulun a class enemy? If not, he is still a revolutionary comrade. Then, why can't I associate with him?" Guo Haoran said: "Then why don't you sit with me? Why don't you take a walk with me?" Wei Na said: "Who stipulated that I must accompany you?" Guo Haoran said: "We will form a revolutionary partner, so we should always be together to help and encourage each other." Wei Na sneered and said, "I'm only sixteen years old, and there are still eight or nine years before the late marriage age. Just wait, eight years later, I will marry you."
