Chapter 45 44 decision

Wen Cai is still living a very leisurely life these days. He often tells people that the essence of all creations and all thoughts is produced in the four words "so neatly".He approved Yang Liang's proposal to hold a farmers' meeting tonight, but he didn't know Yang Liang's arrangement.He also believed that with his speeches, his bearing, and his status, he could defeat Yang Liang, and the peasants would sympathize with him, that is, they sympathized with Qian Wengui as a middle peasant and a member of the Anti-Japanese War, sympathized with the cadres' handling of the orchard, and sympathized with Zhang canon.He even thought that Yang Liang could have nothing to say only in the opinion of the majority.Therefore, he was very optimistic, reveling in his subjective wishes, but in fact he was in his stupor; he only regarded the visit of this young minister as more trouble.But he was still very happy. He felt that the achievements of Nuanshuitun should satisfy the minister.

When Wen Cai was in the county, he once met Zhang Pin.His impression of him was that he was young, like many young people who grew up in the revolutionary ranks, with a lovely simplicity and loyalty.They can endure hardships and are brave, but they always carry a kind of shyness from the countryside and a little complacency.This complacency is not due to their arrogance, but because they do not yet understand the wider world.It can be said that Wen Cai likes such people very much, and often envies them. He once patted these people on the shoulder and said: "You have grown up from mass struggles and practical experience. You have richer knowledge than us. We are I should learn from you." But these words can only be said verbally, and he doesn't really think much value in those experiences, so he won't have enough respect, let alone learn.

Now is the time for several people to discuss what to do in the future after talking about the situation in the village.Zhang Pin also gave a few words of encouragement first: "We Zhuolu were late this time. Fortunately, a group of you came down to help. You are better than us in doing things. The people in the six districts said that you sell fruit well; like yesterday It’s the first time in Zhuolu that the masses automatically seal up their houses and furniture. We’ll go back and report this to the county as an experience to mobilize the masses.” Wen Cai was of course very happy, and unconsciously said: "We are not going to hold meetings in the old fashioned way. You used to make arrangements in advance and have certain speakers, but now we just let the people speak for themselves, so it is difficult to say in advance what problems can be solved at the meeting. Yesterday, the masses voluntarily went to seal Jiang Shirong’s house, and now the masses have risen, we just need to grasp one point and don’t let them go too far.” He had completely forgotten that yesterday he opposed the sealing of the house and the confiscation of all floating money.

Yang Liang and Hu Ligong did not talk about their premeditation for this evening's meeting. They felt that it was a good motive of being persecuted. They only asked to review the work of the past two weeks.If there is no consistent understanding of the past, and there is no right and wrong, things will always be difficult in the future. But Wen Cai is someone who doesn't like to settle old accounts, he said tolerantly: "I don't think there is any need to emphasize that there is any difference in principle. The only difference is the order in which the work is carried out. Comrade Zhang also said that everything depends on the level of consciousness of the people, and there is no need to follow the rules. This is very true. As for the relationship between us What's your mood, we can talk about it later."

Zhang Pin also agreed to talk about it in the future, and only asked Yang Liang about their arrangement, and Zhang Pin felt satisfied.Zhang Yumin added that the members of the peasant association are all poor peasants, and there are also some middle peasants with little land, but they often attend the meeting alone.In the past, sometimes all the women of the Youth Federation participated in meetings, and even participated in literacy classes, so there were no landlords and rich peasants.This time the restrictions were stricter, and the children of landlords and rich peasants were not allowed to enter.These people have turned their heads.Since the fight between Liu Man and Zhang Zhengdian in the orchard, many people have felt a pimple in their hearts, suspecting that the cadres are biased, saying that the cadres have become the old forces' lackeys.There are even people who say strange things, saying that the Eighth Route Army is not necessarily better than the Japanese. Isn’t it why the owls that can eat well when the Japanese devils are around are still as affectionate as their own in the hands of the Communist Party?After explaining it for a day today, these people are relieved again. After all, they are still facing the poor, so that they can have a fight, or else they can sleep with their tails between their legs and fight with each other! ...

When Wen Cai heard these words, he was very surprised, because he had never heard these words before.He hated why he didn't talk about it with himself in the past, but today he talked about it with Comrade Zhang. He thought to himself: "What is the concept of organization, alas! This is still a party member!" It was impossible to handle in front of the young minister.Moreover, he suspected that Zhang Pin and Zhang Yumin had discussed it beforehand, "Oh! They are a gang, he is a cadre he promoted, of course he listens to him." So he had to adopt a negative attitude and try his best to obey the organization .

Sure enough, Zhang Pin made a decision right away. He favored Yang Liang, but he thought it would be inappropriate for this village not to educate cadres apart.He believed that most of the cadres were relatively good people after inspection. He stopped tonight's peasant association and changed it to a party member cadre meeting, and still asked Cheng Ren to attend, although he seemed a little ambiguous about this matter.Even Zhang Zhengdian, who worked hard for Qian Wengui's activities, also wanted to participate.Indeed, he has not yet learned the work style of patiently discussing with everyone in detail. The working environment in the past has made him like this, and the limited time today has to make him like this.

This decision was indeed a bit of a disappointment to Literary Talents, and he completely restrained his original smugness. He kept silent and looked at Yang Liang and Hu Ligong's happiness, and Zhang Pin's youthful arbitrariness. Of course, he felt even more. Zhang Yumin hates it.At this time, Old Dong also came back from Liyu. He was the old subordinate of the young minister.He fully agreed with his decision, and said: "We have long said that if Nuanshuitun does not fight for Qian Wengui, the work will not be able to continue. The people hate this person the most." But he also said honestly: "We I'm stupid, and I couldn't remember the instructions that Comrade Wen brought for a few days. We are people who carry sticks and carry flags. If you want to go back to fighting guerrillas, we dare to go anywhere.”

After the issue was decided, the conversation became more lively.At this time, Li Chang also told many stories about the village, and described Bai Yin'er and Li Zijun's wife well.Bai Yin'er didn't dare to put on makeup anymore, so she invited her Mr. Bai to the box; when she heard someone said that she had a stomachache, she hurriedly said: "We are not superstitious now, you should ask the doctor, we used to give others There is no way to bully her."...Li Zijun's woman more often stood at the street corner, pretending to be looking for her child, and came over to greet the cadres as soon as she saw them passing by. Brother Xiaochang.Li Changtong and they are not from the same family, if they want to recognize relatives, Li Chang has to be two generations younger than her.

Zhang Pin also laughed, and said: "These shameless things! Li Zijun, a parasite, gambles and drinks, does not do good deeds, and has exploited the common people for several generations. And his brother, Li Yingjun, don't let him go .When we return to Zhuolu tomorrow, we will get him back and let him suffer. Old Zhang! You are his long-term worker, so settle accounts with him—don’t spare him.” Zhang Yumin also said that he used to do any kind of work in his house, and he had to empty his wife's urinal.Zhang Yumin said that he is a man up and down, and he wants to be auspicious, so he won't do such unlucky things.The woman also said: "It will be unlucky to empty the urinal for us. We are afraid that we will lose our wealth to you. See if you can make a fortune..." Another time when she washed her feet in the house, she took Zhang Yumin Called in, asked him to hand her the box, damn it, made Zhang Yumin angry, and walked out as soon as he turned around, "We're not the girl you bought!" I quarreled with them and died of starvation.

But Zhang Pin later explained that in this newly liberated area, what the common people hate the most is bullies, traitors and dog legs, and they cannot have a deeper understanding of this kind of exploitation for a while, nor can they see that they are a class and that they are the same in oppressing the common people. A group of people, even if they sometimes quarrel with each other.So the first step is still to be top-notch, and then you have to engage these people.But the common people have to enlighten their minds from the facts and realize their own strength, so that they can really eliminate the idea of ​​changing the sky, otherwise, the mutton will always be delicious and afraid of being fishy. Wen Cai still didn't speak, thinking that these words were teaching him a lesson, he thought a little uncomfortable: "Hmph! Well, it's up to you. Young people these days are ignorant and look down on people too much!" "This village didn't do a good job in the past," Zhang Pin continued, looking at Zhang Yumin, "I can't blame you, we are mainly responsible, and there are no regular leaders in the district, so the help is poor. Think about it, even the people in the sixth district They all told us that the worst person in your village is Qian Wengui, and that Xu Youwu is not as sinister and cunning as him, but we have not attacked him several times. You told us this spring, but unfortunately we did not investigate deeply at that time. I talked to a few cadres, but no one mentioned him, so Hou Diankui was decided carelessly and arranged. Hou Diankui is not a good guy, but people dare not speak up unless he touches Qian Wengui. A party member said something, chanted slogans, punched, and looked lively. Now that you think about it, it’s just a last resort. You always scold Hou Zhongquan for being behind, but in fact we didn’t manage well. Old Zhang! You are good at everything else. Able to be poor, resolutely not selfish, and able to unite cadres, you are not a cowardly person, but you have too many worries about this matter. What is the reason for you to reflect on yourself! What kind of bad thing is responsible for it? .Ah! Ha..." He smiled so frankly that many people laughed.This atmosphere was also contagious to Zhang Yumin, who also laughed happily, and unconsciously imitated him, touched his neck and said: "Confusion is one reason; not really thinking about the common people, 'fear' is the second reason." One truth. Alas! I am always afraid that we will not be able to make things happen, and I am suspicious of this and that. I think what if I can’t make a fuss, and I can’t bring him down? Isn’t it for nothing that we will lose face and be criticized? Cough! This Finally, we were not brave this time, we had our own plans, and we didn’t stand firm! This time, thanks to Comrade Yang, he conspired with us time and time again, and spoke with our conscience, we didn’t mean it! Ha..." Old Dong also said that he had given up his responsibilities and was careless, and only went to Liyu, just because the cadres said that they would divide the three acres of vineyards for him.well!Always peasant consciousness, backward... Hu Ligong also smiled and asked him if the marriage was booked.Old Dong's face was also red, and he repeatedly denied: "I dare not, that's too ridiculous..." Under such a joke, Literary Talent is also somewhat relieved.Hu Ligong asked Zhang Yumin about finding a partner again, Zhang Yumin denied it honestly, Li Changcai explained that Zhang Zhengdian once said that he would introduce his widow cousin to him, "Zhang Sange didn't agree, saying that he was a poor bachelor , couldn’t support a wife, Zhang Zhengdian asked us to persuade him. We told the third brother, and the third brother scolded us. I heard that his cousin’s husband was also a bit unruly after the death, Zhang Zhengdian turned around and spread rumors, but It wasn't intended to be a bad idea." Hu Ligong joked that there was nothing wrong with that.People and money gain both money. Could it be possible to become a branch secretary without asking for a wife?He must find one for him, and he will not leave the village until he has a wedding wine. So Li Chang's fourteen-year-old child bride-in-law also became a joke.At this time, the air slowly relaxes and becomes lively, and literary talent also joins in.Zhang Pin is also a young man, and he is still a bachelor, but he said that once a female director shook his hand once, he didn't sleep well all night, and had a formal talk with the female director the next day, Ask her to work hard in the future and pay attention to the impact. When talking about the excitement, Zhao Delu and Cheng Ren broke in together, and they couldn't stop laughing.But they urged them to dinner, had to bring an end to a tense half-day, and had to prepare for the party meeting in the evening.
