Chapter 44 43 Let's get up

Zhang Pin stood at the intersection, wanting to see if there were any acquaintances.Suddenly a person turned around from behind, patted him hard on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "You have big eyes. You really don't know us when you work in the county. We followed you for a long time." That black man Zhang Zhengguo, he hung a large 38 pole horizontally, grinned happily, and went on to say: "It's better to go alone. The county cadres don't follow anyone with a box. The mighty Mighty?" This man who is easy to talk shyly in front of people is not afraid of the young minister, looking at his collarless shirt and bald head, he finds it funny.The young minister also gave him a punch: "You bastard, what are you doing to scare people!"

But Zhang Zhengguo said seriously: "We saw you a long time ago in the crop field. We saw that bad boy muttering to you, so we didn't call you. Let me tell you, you can't listen to what he said." He leaned his face again, Quietly said: "We are not afraid of anything else, but we are afraid that this person will run away. You know, he is called Sai Zhuge, um." "Old Zhang! When did you come here? Why did you not let others know? Hmm! Our village was noisy yesterday, and you were late." Several people came from the opposite side, and Zhang Pin went to say hello to them one by one. .

They also laughed and said, "Look at you with your trousers rolled up so high, and you still look like this in the county town, you will always smoke cigarettes, come on, smoke one." Everyone looked to see that there were no outsiders, and one of them said in a low voice: "Old Zhang! There was a fight in our village yesterday, and it has not been resolved today. They said that it will be resolved at the farmers' meeting tonight. Do you think Liu Man may win?" No matter what Whether others know or not is asking the question. "Whether we win or not depends on whether we dare to speak up! Old Zhang! Let's go find Brother Zhang." Zhang Zhengguo hurriedly led the way.

Zhang Pin still said to the group of people: "One person's strength is small, but everyone's strength is strong; a handful of straw is not enough, but a pile of wheat stacks is enough. Liu Man is the vanguard, and you follow up." Well! The cadres are chosen by you, and the feathers and arrows are sealed by you. If anyone refuses to work for you or listen to your instructions, you can re-elect!..." Turning the corner and walking to the gate of the elementary school, Old Wu ran out from inside, busy saying hello, and said, "I'm looking forward to you, and you don't even wear a hat. It looks like you're drying yourself out. Come in and drink some water." Zhang Pin walked over and whispered a word to him, and he nodded repeatedly. Seeing that there were many people, he didn't say anything. Later, when he saw that Zhang Pin was leaving, he said, "Old Zhang! Let's read a section of the blackboard newspaper."

Someone next to him also said, "Hey! Check out our old Wu's rhetoric. He made up a paragraph and reported it. It's very interesting. He doesn't know what's going on in Murakami?" Zhang Pin really went to watch a section. The crowd grew more and more, and there was an old man sitting at the far foot of the wall basking in the sun.Zhang Zhengguo touched Zhang Pin, and Zhang Pin recognized the old man as the consistent Taoist Hou Diankui. He asked, "Is he cured?" "Good morning, I went to the peasant association today to ask if he still needs to be liquidated; he said that there are only forty or fifty acres of land, and if the land in the village is not enough, he can donate some land. The peasant association is mobilizing Hou Qinghuai to ask him for red What about Qi. He sits here basking in the sun all day long, watching the wind and looking at the scenery! Everyone laughs at him behind his back: "You don't ride a strong horse to the west?..." When Zhang Zhengguo told him, some people who heard him also laughed.The old man pretended not to see it.Sitting like an old monk in meditation.

Ren Tianhua also poked his head out of the window of the cooperative.He had just returned from the orchard, which was very deserted, only a dozen or so old men were there putting the fruit piled on the ground into baskets.Ren Tianhua looked for someone everywhere, trying his best to finish the job as soon as possible.He took the time to run back to settle the fruit accounts for the past two days, and planned to report to the farmers' association meeting tonight. "Old Ren! Who is in the cooperative?" Zhang Zhengguo asked. "There is one of us." Ren Tianhua agreed, and greeted: "Lao Zhang! Come in and make tea. Ask someone to find them for you."

"Come back later." Zhang Pin then asked Wen Cai where they lived. A twelve or thirteen-year-old child standing beside him said, "We know where Zhang Yumin is, and we will lead you there." "Okay, let's go to Zhang Sange first." Zhang Zhengguo pushed the child in front and Zhang Pin, and Zhang Pin said: "Alright, let's go see him first. If you have something to do, you can go back." Zhang Zhengguo followed After a while, it diverged again and said, "Let's worry about it." Along the way, Zhang Pin chatted with the child.I saw acquaintances along the road and said hello to some people I didn't know, but others called him.Knowing that he has something to do, don't bother him.The two of them slowly walked to Li Zhixiang's house next door to Zhao Delu's, and the child introduced, "It's the house of the female director."

Dong Guihua was wearing an old cloth shirt, and was sitting on the steps outside the door doing needlework. She stood up quickly, but shouted inside: "Brother Xiaochang! Lao Zhang from the county is here." Several heads were crowded behind a small piece of glass, and then a group of people were heard jumping off the kang and running outside.Dong Guihua went on to say: "Come in, Brother Zhang is here." But she herself stood at the gate of the courtyard instead. They caught him at the door, pulled him hastily, and said repeatedly: "Ah! How nice of you to come! "

Zhang Pin saw two people he didn't know much besides Zhang Yumin and Li Chang, and Li Chang said, "These are two older brothers from our family, both of whom are honest people. It's his brother Li Zhishou." "Let's talk about you guys, let's listen first." Zhang Pin let them onto the kang again, and sat against the wall himself. These two timid people seemed very restrained. Li Zhixiang said: "We told Brother Xiaochang this morning, and it was our woman who said that I would be afraid if I didn't report it. I don't know if there is such a thing. He only told us so much." Li Zhishou also said: "It's really only so much. Listening to what a child in the school said, the words of the children may not be accurate...”

Zhang Pin asked them, "How many tops are there in your village?" Li Zhixiang replied: "We don't know how many there are. People always say Badajian." "That's what Badajian is called. In fact, there are only a few who are powerful." Li Chang said. "That's right!" Zhang Pingen said, "Last year, Xu Youwu ran away, and this spring he fought against Hou Diankui. Now Hou Diankui sits in front of the stage basking in the sun every day, and no one pays attention to him. Li Zijun ran away when he heard about the land division. Do you think they are afraid of us, or are we afraid of them?"

"They were terribly frightened, they were terrified when Mengjiagou beat Chen Wuke to death. They are afraid of the Eighth Route Army and the Communist Party. "Li Zhishou also said. "Aren't they afraid of you?" Zhang Pin asked again. "Afraid of us, haha...they are not afraid of us." "Of course he won't be afraid of you alone. If all the poor people in your village are united, won't he be afraid? If you don't call him bad, the Eight Routes will recognize him? A lot of people make a king. Do you understand the truth?" "I understand, I understand, but the common people are not of the same mind. The cadres are not of the same mind. If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Zhang. Everyone is scolding the security guards for marrying other people's daughters and eating the ecstasy soup. They are not towards the father-in-law but towards us? Didn't you fight with Liu Man yesterday because of this?" Li Zhixiang didn't think so, so he said it all. Zhang Yumin hastened to argue: "It's just a matter of the security officer alone. Aren't we going to have a farm meeting tonight to solve it? If you want to say he's wrong, can we say he's good? We didn't protect him!" Zhang Pin explained again: "Those scoundrels are not afraid of a few cadres, they are only afraid of poor people with one mind. Cadres can be removed and replaced. If there are those soft-boned and muddy roles, don't ask him to be a cadre. In the past, Japan When the devil was there, we re-elected Jiang Shirong, but now it’s no good? Whoever wants to be a running dog for the rich man’s family, we will tell him to collapse with the rich man. The poor people in the village are united, so he can’t do anything. The poor are in charge, and the poor dare Talk, don't talk about these sharp guys, Chiang Kai-shek has to ask him to go away when he comes." The two brothers laughed again, and Li Zhixiang said: "Comrade Yang told us the same thing. Alas, we are brain-dead, and we can't change it all at once. We always think: If you are poor, you can't offend others. My aunt said the same thing, but it's true. We women are more enlightened, and we understand it in our hearts. But I am afraid, because I don’t have long shoulders, and I can’t carry it.” "His aunt is Hou Zhongquan." Li Chang added. "It's good to have someone who takes the lead, don't you think? Are you still afraid if others are in the lead?" "No one is leading the way now." "As long as everyone comes up, no one will be afraid." Li Zhishou also looked more lively, and unconsciously he was also beaming. "Why is there no one? Liu Man is one. Those who asked Jiang Shirong for a red deed, those who wanted to share his house, and those who put seals on his cabinets were all the ones who took the lead? Now it's time for everyone to catch up. The cadres don't Just assign some work, give orders, and ask yourself to take the lead among the masses. You have suffered a lot in your life, and you have to settle accounts with the landlords in front of everyone. Don’t follow the old ways of working. Are you afraid of exposing yourself? ?Our work in Zhuolu County has suffered from this from last year to this year. We are always afraid of making a fuss, and we only want our cadres to think about it. We are afraid that we will not be able to grasp it. Don’t dare to mobilize them, that’s because you don’t trust the common people. Now the common people have criticized us, and they are right, they say that we’re not old enough, what do you think?” "Well, that's how it is. We can't figure out the opinions of the superiors, and we are afraid that the subordinates will not make trouble, and we are afraid that there will be troubles. It's not that we don't understand the affairs of the village, but we are afraid of making mistakes! Besides, there are also comrades from the district. After they make a decision." Zhang Yumin immediately felt that he was too lacking in courage when he heard the criticism, and it was difficult for him to do something that was easy to do. "Don't be afraid!" Zhang Pin patted Li Zhixiang's back again, "We're going to get up and burn all those bad guys, and see if they still can't get along with each other. Let's act first, cut the grass and roots, and people won't Scared." The two brothers were so happy that they jumped down to the ground, and laughed in unison: "This is so true! If we don't turn over, we won't turn over, and we won't eat our heads with raw rice." "If you can't turn it over, just put in more effort, and add a fire to the raw rice. How can we not turn over and eat? When we think about problems, we always have to think in the long run. We are like a small tree now, with green branches and leaves. , it still has to grow, bloom, and bear fruit. The rich men are already sunset, and they will be red for a while. Don’t think they still have people who are afraid of him. The world has turned upside down, and the world is going to make trouble! Now we It is to ask everyone to think more about the hardships others have given us, and think more about how the feudal society in the past was unreasonable and ungrateful, so that we can have energy in fighting. We also need to think about how to subdue people so that they dare not Retaliate again. Tell people what we said, go and persuade your aunt more." Zhang Pin also stepped down from the ground and said to Zhang Yumin: "Go, we don't have much time, let's go to the comrades in the working group , if there is something, we should discuss it.” Li Chang and Zhang Yumin followed him out to Lao Han's house.They didn't dare to criticize Wen Cai, they only told him that Wen Cai and Yang Liang and Hu Ligong couldn't get along.Yang Liang was arguing about resolving the fight at the farmers' meeting tonight, and planned to raise the issue of Qian Wengui's fight tonight, and had already arranged for many people to speak.Only Wencai didn't know yet. He also said that it would be good to have a meeting and see what the masses think.They only said that he was a man of culture and not easy to approach him.Zhang Yumin also felt very wronged, saying that he believed Zhang Zhengdian's lies and wronged him for making broken shoes in the village. He investigated this matter with several cadres.
