Chapter 23 22 Try to be consistent

The unhappy night passed.When Zhang Yumin returned home, the comrades in these three working groups had debates, but they were not violent.Comrade Wen Cai endured their frankness with his calmness.Because of his sophistication in personnel matters, he did not necessarily insist on his own opinions. At the same time, he also wanted to do a good job and unite everyone. Comrade Wen Cai was tolerant like never before.Although he was not persuaded, nor did he cancel his prejudice against them, but on the surface they finally agreed, and there was no gap. After breakfast, the courtyard became lively again.Li Chang brought the manuscript of the blackboard newspaper and the script of the Bangzi drama they compiled in the spring.Yang Liang revised the manuscript for him.Hu Ligong pulled the erhu, and he sang the bangzi.Then, the village cadres gathered here again.Comrade Wen Cai asked them for their opinions, hoping to solve all problems from the cadres, but he couldn't tell the right from wrong of their opinions, because he lacked real materials as a basis, and he asked them to prepare targets for struggle.So they quarreled and laughed again; when they disagreed, they quarreled, just like that night in the cooperative: Zhang Zhengdian and Li Chang disagreed with Li Zijun, Zhang Zhengdian and Cheng Ren disagreed with Gu Yong. disagreement.Later, when they talked about Hou Diankui's Huahuaniu, they all laughed. Hou Diankui bought a Huaniu with public funds and said it was his own.They also mentioned that Hou Diankui set up a Yiguan Tao in the village, and Zhao Quangong also said that he had also kowtowed his head. He imitated Hou Diankui's air and said: "In the year of desolation, the people of Li were robbed, and if they entered the Tao, they can ride a fierce horse to the west!  … ..." Zhao Quangong said this, making everyone happy, and asked him to recite the mantra, Zhao Quangong said: "Pun Guan, Wutai Buddha Maitreya, Zihai pinches and hugs each other, Amitabha..." Li Chang told Wen Cai and the others, when they were fighting against Lao Hou this spring, Lao Hou said he was sick and refused to come to the meeting, and then forced him out. Zhao Quangong even slapped him, saying that he had harmed him and tricked him into becoming a Taoist.They mentioned Jiang Shirong again, and felt that he had already been beaten, and some even thought that he had a good attitude now.I don’t know who brought up Xu Youwu’s lackey, Wang Rong, and said that last year someone wanted to fight him, but the fight failed; this spring, comrades in the district said that the goals of the fight should not be too many, and they relaxed him.When Xu Youwu was the mayor of the big township, he ran errands for everything. Later, when Xu Youwu went to Xinbaoan to engage in coal production, he also went to help him with errands.His brother is a cripple. He took his property, but did not give him good food or find a wife for him.Everyone talked about him for a long time, but when they checked his property later, it turned out that he is still a poor man, not even a middle peasant. It all depends on him to support him, how can this meet the conditions?But it is believed that a thorough struggle and a thorough liquidation are still needed.

This meeting was held for a long time, and many names were mentioned. Anyone who had leased land or a lot of land, and anyone who had been a chief was mentioned, and a lot of materials were discussed, but there was no result.These people should all be liquidated and classified according to their severity, but it seems that among them, there is no one who can find the most typical person, who is the most sinful person, and who can arouse the anger of the masses because of him.Whenever these village cadres mentioned a person, they seemed to have enough conditions, but when they studied in detail, they felt embarrassed again.They said: "We can't find a Chen Wu like Mengjiagou in our village." Chen Wu used to detain people, beat people, raped women, and later killed district officials; A hundred rounds of bullets; Chen Wu and Farnborough's spies had a meeting in the field and framed the security guards. There is evidence for these things, and the common people know.As soon as the common people know that this person deserves the death penalty, they will not be afraid of anything, and everyone will fight him to the death.Nuanshuitun did not have such a bully, and there was no landlord as big as Li Gongde of Baihuai Village, who had more than one hundred hectares of land and had built a big house.If there were so many landlords in Nuanshuitun, with so much land, and every household could become a middle peasant, why would everyone not want to get up?They counted and counted, but they couldn't find one or two leaders, and they dispersed in the afternoon.Comrade Wen Cai asked them to go to the common people to inquire, but they are not making a decision for now; if there is really no one, there is no need to fight.When the cadres heard this, they became more relieved, but they couldn't say anything more, so they had to withdraw and prepare to go to the farmers' meeting tonight.

After they left, Comrade Wen Cai wrote a report to the district officials for their opinions, but he didn't show it to anyone. He put it in a notebook, and when he had the opportunity, he asked a militiaman to send it to When I went to the district, I was alone, preparing to tell the current affairs of the evening.He thought it ridiculous that Hu Ligong objected to his speech: "The farmer doesn't know anything. If you don't tell him, he doesn't understand. How can he get up! Hu Ligong only hopes to have a lively struggle meeting, isn't that true?" A petty bourgeois idea?” He also admitted that he was inexperienced, but he also did not admit that their views would be superior to his.What is the great value of their meager experience?Experience that has not been summed up, and experience that has not been promoted into theory, is one-sided and unreliable.He admitted that they were closer to the crowd than he was, and that they were away all the time, but that did not mean that they were right.To direct a movement is to be good at guiding the thoughts of the masses, grasping their emotions, and satisfying their demands. It is not just a matter of working with a few ordinary people all day long.Chairman Mao fully understood the Chinese people and proposed various timely measures, but it was impossible for him to be with the people all day long.The so-called mass views should be understood comprehensively, not rigidly practiced.Only these naive people take up half-knowledge and read it as the Bible.But he forgave them anyway.He felt that they could only be half-intellectuals and half-worker-peasant elements, a bit of both, but not enough of both, and because they were not enough of both, it was difficult to work.Wen Cai feels that he still needs to sympathize with them, and also needs to unite them at work.Thinking about it this way, Wen Cai was more calm in making concessions to them.

Later Comrade Wen Cai felt very lonely in the house alone.He really wanted to know where they went, what they were doing, and what these village cadres were doing, and what they thought.So he put down his pen and walked to the street alone.
