Chapter 27 26 district trade union director Lao Dong

The room was very lively, Liyu also came with a few people, and they looked at Comrade Wencai eagerly.Old Dong Hong sat on the other side of the kang with a sullen face, and it seemed that he had been talking for a long time, only to hear him say: "It's a small village, no, they don't know how to draw tables, they don't know how to plan, and there is no landlord." , there are a few rich peasants, and the rich peasants are not worth anything. There is a rich peasant named Yang Wanxing. He is a bad guy. He can fight. But no one dares to speak. Everyone said that if there are fewer people, there is no way to fight. A cadre meeting was held. , I have no confidence at all. There was a peasant association, and we were the only ones talking about it. Laying in the mud and going to the kiln, we can’t burn anything, and we are in vain. No one speaks, we are all dumb..."

Wen Cai sat on the side of the kang and laughed, and the cadres sometimes nodded and sometimes said "Yes, that's right" to confirm the old Dong's report.At this time, Hu Ligong was also participating in their conversation. He intervened and asked, "Is there no one in your school who knows how to make an abacus? Neither can the teachers in your school?" "No one dials well, of course the teacher will!" "That's it, just know how to add and subtract. Can't this problem be solved?" The cadre still smiled hesitantly. "Let's draw a picture of the form for you, use the household registration book as a burden as a basis, and then re-investigate, and fill in the self-cultivated land, leased land, rented farming land, pawned land, rented land from other villages, and rented land from other villages. Then clearly indicate water land, landscape land, sloping land, dry land, orchard, vineyard, and vegetable garden. As long as the investigation is thorough and there are no mistakes. You only have 40 or 50 families, and you can get it together We are together, so what's the problem? It doesn't matter if you can't write well, as long as you can count and others can see clearly, it's fine, don't you think?"

Under the happy influence and encouragement of Hu Ligong, those cadres became more lively. They said: "Comrade is absolutely right, we just haven't had any troubles, as long as you come and teach us, we just invite comrades to live here." Come to our village." They looked at Wen Cai earnestly again, waiting for Wen Cai to speak. Zhang Yumin urged Wen Cai to go to the meeting again, Wen Cai promised the people in Liyu before leaving that he would go and see for himself tomorrow.This made those few people very fond of them, they hugged Wen Cai, walked out, and said repeatedly: "Come early! Come to our place for breakfast."

Only the three of them were left in the room. Yang Liang asked Lao Dong if he had eaten, and Lao Dong said he had eaten in Liyu, so they talked about the village again. Old Dong is fifty years old this year, his face is red, his upper lip and chin are bare, and his chest and arms are very strong.When the Communist Party first extended from Nanshan to the third district, he followed the guerrilla warfare.Some people thought he was old, so he said: "It doesn't matter how old we are, we compare strength and leg strength, you are not allowed to grow crops, let alone fight guerrillas." At that time, Zhang Pin was in charge of the third district Comrade, he took him in.At first he just ran along and didn't know how to use a gun. When he saw the enemy, he just jumped up and couldn't take a step. His mouth was sour and hot. Everyone laughed at him, but after a few times, he said, "It's as big as life and death." , don't be afraid.They gave him a shot of water and had no bullets, so he had to use seven or nine bullets.This area was originally occupied by the enemy, and there were so many strongholds, it was not easy to engage in guerrilla warfare for a while.Once, twenty or so of them held a meeting with Comrade Zhang Pin in a village, and the enemy's secret agents found out, thirty or forty of them came, and they brought a machine gun.At that time, they had only one sentence: "Our revolution must go to the end, jump into the Yellow River together!" They withdrew from the village and set up an ambush, and the enemy had already caught up.The enemy knew their strength well, they only had six guns, plus two Shui Lianzhu, two made in Hubei;The enemy made fun of them and shouted: "Guerrillas in the third district, let's hand over our guns. Look... these are all 38 big covers, do you want them?" The guerrillas were so angry that they could do nothing.Zhang Pin said: "Don't be afraid, hold your breath. Everyone is aiming at one person, the one wearing the fur hat. My name is one or two. You all fire at the same time. Do you hear me?" They did so, and ten guns fired at the same time. , injured one, everyone jumped up for joy.Later, they continued to do the same, wounding three or four in a row, and the enemy fled away in a hurry.The common people immediately rolled out the noodles, and the district office bought five chickens. Later, the county rewarded them with a rifle.Old Dong followed him even more desperately, and lived a life that was a hundred times harder than being a long-term worker for three years: he often slept without even an earthen kang, so he dug an earthen kiln in the wild and spread some grass; Wo Wo.He learned how to shoot a gun, and he became a loyal party member. As long as the superior has an order, he is not afraid of death.Later they put him to work in the trade union in the district. After the director of the union was transferred, he became the director again.He is a willing party member and cadre, but he is not used to thinking.He likes to do one or two things honestly, and it doesn't matter if it is hard, but he is afraid of being alone and wants to make his own decisions.This time the district sent him to Nuanshuitun, although because he was from Liyu, he could get acquainted with it, but the main reason was that he already had a few literary talents, so he could follow him as a guide and learn from it.The district respected and fully believed in literary talent, and Lao Dong came with him with his mentality of dependence.Wencai sent him to Liyu again, so he had to stop by to go home to see his long-lost brother.He didn't understand the situation in Nuanshuitun, and even what he knew in the past, he didn't reflect well to these people.

When Yang Liang and Hu Ligong told him and analyzed the materials collected in the past two days, he didn't think there was anything worth studying, but he thought about whether he should tell them something.When he returned to Liyu, his brother was having a stomachache.His elder brother persuaded him to come back to the village and share two acres of land. He is not too young and has suffered a lot. The two brothers should live a peaceful life for two years.He rejected this suggestion, saying that he was a communist in life and a ghost of the communist in death, and he had to do things for the common people.But his elder brother said that he himself is not in good health anymore, and the two brothers are both single until now, and they are not even next to a woman. Even if they do things for the common people, they still have to save their ancestors.His elder brother also said that there is a widow in this village. Although she is forty years old, she seems to be in good health, can have children, and can be a family member;Now my younger brother is a cadre, so I don't worry about my wife's disapproval.Old Dong was a man who had never courted a woman before. When he heard these words, his face turned red, he was embarrassed, and said: "You are really joking!" But he felt uneasy in his heart.The Murakami cadre also said that he had contributed to the revolution and wanted to give him three acres of vineyards.He didn't speak.He has worked as a long-term worker for decades, and he never even dreamed of having a three-acre vineyard. He wanted it very much. He could also take time to go home and cultivate it, and his brother could help him take care of it.But what if comrades in the district disagree with this matter?Say he is selfish, say he is backward?At the same time, he thought, he can't live off the public family all his life, if he wants a few acres of land, he can still eat his own.Speaking of selfishness, he has not made a fortune, but he can work on land.Chairman Mao said that "the tiller will get the land." Didn't he have cultivated the land for decades? Why can't he have the land?In the end, he decided that as long as he would not be punished, he wanted the land: As for the wife, let's talk about it later.It's just that he can't figure out whether he will be punished or not.He just wanted to discuss with the two people in front of him, but these two people didn't understand his feelings at all, and they didn't give him a chance to speak. Strengthen your arms... Later they saw that Lao Dong was not in good spirits, so they said that he had worked too hard for the past two days and asked him to rest, so they went to the meeting place.

Although the number of people in the meeting this evening was not as large as the first day, the meeting ended very late.Comrade Wen Cai had to analyze the current situation in detail in order to persuade the peasants to think of changing the sky.He talked about the democratic movement in the Kuomintang areas, the war-weariness of the soldiers, and the strength of the American people and the Soviet Union.He talked about Gao Shuxun to Liu Shanben, from American journalists Snow and Smedley to Masinu, and the assassination of Wen Yiduo and Li Gongpu.Finally, we talked about the defense battle of Siping Street and the battle outside Datong.It is said that the Eighth Route Army has surrounded Datong, and it can take it down in half a month at most.The speeches were meaningful and some were fun to listen to.It's a pity that the speech was rather deep, with too many nouns, so I couldn't understand it, and the time was too long, and I couldn't bear it, and many people fell asleep later.But Comrade Wen Cai's enthusiasm made him want to vomit his heart to them for a while, so that they could understand everything, so he couldn't compress his words.After the meeting, he himself felt very tired and dizzy, and fell asleep as soon as he got home.Yang Liang and the others had no choice but to postpone the plan until the next day.But the next day Wencai was still not free, he had already agreed to Liyu, he didn't even arrange simple tasks, he hurriedly urged Old Dong to leave.Moreover, he stayed in Liyu for two whole days and one night, where he held two more meetings for them, repeating what he had said in Nuanshuitun.Yang Liang and Hu Ligong discussed how to conduct further investigations, especially how to find evidence to prove the facts Zhang Yumin said, and how to carry out the task of lighting the fire among the masses.
