Chapter 46 45 party members meeting

Zhang Zhengdian came out of his father-in-law's house, intending to go to the cooperative, and also intending to find Comrade Wen Cai, wanting to inquire about Zhang Pin's situation after he arrived in the village.His father-in-law said a lot to him, and he felt uneasy, but he also thought that Wen Cai had said repeatedly that if he was a member of the Anti-Japanese War, he should be treated differently, and that Wen Cai came from Zhangjiakou, he was a well-known cadre, and Zhang Pin might not be the enemy. beat him.His wife also followed behind him, telling her frequently: "You have to listen to what your father says, and you have to remember! If they really want to,—oh! You must never go again, go home and tell us .Ah! It's time to be more tactful..."

It was already dark, and the eyebrow-like crescent moon hung in the western sky, and a thin layer illuminated the eastern half of the wall.There are crickets chirping at the bottom of the walls in all directions, and the weather is already full of autumn.There were no longer any people enjoying the shade on the street, so Zhang Zhengdian also reassured his wife in a low voice, asking her to go home first, and he would be back soon.The wife wanted to say something, but a man came out from the corner and asked loudly, "Who is it?" Zhang Zhengdian had already seen that it was a militiaman, and holding his frightened wife with one hand, he also said loudly, "You don't know him yet." , It’s us, it’s the security officer. What are you yelling about, if there are bad guys, you’ll scare them away.”

"Ah! It's a security officer. Brother Zhang has been looking for you for a long time and told you to go to the old man Han's house." The militiaman approached, but he still held an earthen gun.He even looked the woman up and down. "What's the matter? Has Lao Zhang from the county left? Where is he?" He then bumped into his wife again, and said, "Go back first." "Hey! That's not a security officer?" At this time, two figures turned out from the darkness, "Where are you going? It's easy to find them, so they are here to guard!" This is Li Chang and Zhao Quangong, and they are laughing. So he grabbed Zhang Zhengdian and dragged him away.

Zhang Zhengdian had no choice but to say: "Are you kidding me, where are you taking it?" The two laughed and said: "You don't go to visit relatives, what are you doing with a wife behind your buttocks! You are not afraid of being laughed at." Zhang Zhengdian was worried, as if he had a slight premonition of some ominous things, he asked: "You are no longer holding the farmers' association, what Zhang Pin said about our quarrel yesterday, it can't be our fault, who I also know that Liu Man deliberately made trouble!" "Zhang Pin didn't say anything, just talked to Wen Cai and the others about the affairs of Li Gongde's family in Baihuai Village. More than 3,000 pieces of clothes were confiscated, and none of them could be worn by ordinary people. They were all colorful silk cheongsams and high-heeled shoes. He also said that his continuation wife was very powerful, and without shedding a single tear, she walked straight out of her main room full of glass furniture, and lived next to the kitchen, and went to a small room where the cook used to live. "Zhao Quangong still retains the strong interest in listening to these stories.

Zhang Zhengdian also said: "We said long ago that we were not such a big landlord, we didn't make trouble, and Li Zijun's family was richer, but he ran away. Do you think we will talk about our fight yesterday tonight? " Li Chang didn't say a word, but asked, "What are you afraid of?" "Afraid," Zhang Zhengdian didn't like to hear such words, so he agreed: "We are not afraid of anything. We are not landlords, and we are not traitors. Since joining the party was not approved by his chapter, what can he do to us?" There are also militiamen standing at the gate of Lao Han.Zhang Zhengdian thought: "Land reform, we can't be used as a knife! We said yesterday that Qian Wengui is an anti-beneficiary, and this is true, and Director Wen also said the same thing. The last time the composition was not determined by us, we I'm not afraid."

There was not enough space in the house, and people were all sitting in the yard, unable to see their faces clearly. The yard was too big, even though there were only about twenty people, it seemed very lively. Most of this group of people were party members before liberation, and they were all brothers in life and death, and no one had anything against anyone.Therefore, the atmosphere in this yard seemed very harmonious, and with Zhang Pin's participation, it became more active, as if there hadn't been so many people together for a long time. Only Zhang Zhengdian seemed to be pregnant with a ghost, he ignored no one, and found a place to sit down by himself.Sitting next to him was Zhao Delu, who didn't say anything to him.Zhang Yumin checked the number of people and started the meeting, but Zhang Yumin didn't say anything, but scolded himself for a while: He said that he hadn't mentioned Qian Wengui at the meeting twice in the past, and he was afraid that it would be useless. Over some comrades.But ordinary people often came to him, asked him about his situation, and gave him advice, but he didn't tell Comrade Wen, and even the people in the district didn't believe it.He said how bad his own style of not letting go, how he violated the interests of the masses, he said: "We, Zhang Yumin, have been in the revolution for more than two years, and we are still 25-eyed. We should ask the common people to beat us up. We ourselves Where did he come from? He lived to be twenty-eight years old. He lived a long life for more than ten years. Others grew up eating grain. What did we eat? There was more chaff than grain! Work, but not worth the price of a donkey. We are poor from head to toe, and now we can’t think for the common people. People can see everything clearly. There are sores on the back of the head. If you can’t see it and think that others can’t see it, that’s a joke. Tonight we speak from our conscience, we have been cadres for more than two years, and we are brothers who have gone through life and death. , who of us doesn't have a change of mind, afraid of offending others? Who doesn't have a compromise and show affection? Who doesn't have a vine entanglement and selfishness? We have these, and we forget our roots. Now we speak from the heart These, if there is half a lie, you will fire us. We have another opinion, and everyone has to express their thoughts."

Following his words, the air in the yard slowly became serious.Everyone felt uncomfortable and happy at the same time, and imagined what he was talking about.But because it happened suddenly, I was not mentally prepared, so I didn't know what to say.What's more, the amazement of Zhang Yumin's speech made many people stunned. After a while, no one spoke, and it became more and more silent.Suddenly that black man, Zhang Zhengguo, jumped up and yelled in a rough voice: "Who doesn't have it? Who has it? Every day we tell the common people to stand up, but our own cadres sit in the cooperative making tea and wandering around the street. No one knows who the one in our village is who doesn't use a knife to kill people. He's talking nonsense, which prevents the cadres from having his brother and his son-in-law. They are either afraid of offending him, or they want to have some relationship with him! You see , Third brother Zhang wanted us to confess our love, but no one spoke up. If you don’t show affection, anyone will see it!” After he finished speaking, he squatted aside, angrily.

Qian Wenhu is an honest man, he only knows how to work, he has become a trade union director, but he doesn't know what to do.He and Qian Wengui are cousins, and it doesn't matter if the well water doesn't interfere with the river water. He never said that he wanted to fight Qian Wengui, but he didn't object. He was wronged, he is a quiet person, but at this time he had to stammer and say: "What brother, who doesn't know that no one in our family has anything to do with him, you didn't see their boss, Qian Wenfu, who planted a one-acre vegetable garden, was a widow, and no one had any contact with him. He did not share his wealth and power with anyone. He used to have contacts with big townships and rich people in the village. He has nothing to do with our poor family. If he could change his surname, he would have given up his surname long ago. If you want to fight him, we have no objection, and none of us with the surname Qian have any objection."

"I'm not asking if you have any opinions, but whether you agree or not!" Someone in the crowd said. "We agree, we agree, but we don't talk at the meeting! It's not for other reasons, let's say he is not good!" So everyone laughed again, and everyone asked him what he was afraid of. Afterwards, some people talked, some made long speeches, and some had a few words. Ren Tianhua mentioned the riot in the orchard. He said that he only got a dozen people to work there after a day of running around. Zhang Zhengdian had already made up his mind at this time. He admired his father-in-law's foresight. The sincerity of so many comrades was not worth a penny. He didn't think about right and wrong, and he was not moved.He had only one idea, to get himself out of this vortex first. Qian Wengui once told him that if the wind looked wrong, he had to turn the bow of the boat.As long as Qian Wengui can survive this hurdle, or he just hides for a while, there will always be a day of revenge in the future.And told him that one day Qian Yi would come back for revenge.He believed in him, relied on him, and feared him, so he had to tie himself and Qian Wengui to a rope of fate, and he didn't feel that the rope was very thin or bad at all.He thought about it for a long time, considering his wording, and he found a chance to speak.

"What do we have to say? Anyway, we have admitted to you that we are following Qian Wengui's way, so we can still marry his daughter!" He paused to see if anyone could refute him, but the yard was very quiet. , are listening to him. "Since I married his daughter, no one has looked down on us. As the saying goes, my wife doesn't tell the truth in front of me, and we are confused by a woman? Who hasn't made an oath to join the party? You have to be suspicious of us, what do we have? Solution! What's the matter, you are also talking behind our backs, and since you don't understand what your plan is, we can only act according to our guesses. If you want to say that the land reform should find someone who has a plan to fight, we I don’t object to that person called Sai Zhuge. He offended a lot of people. We don’t know what. He used to have contacts with Japanese traitors and spies. You didn’t say that. After all, it was just to eliminate the feudal landlords. Let’s just There is too much room to pick and choose. It was just yesterday that we had a fight with Liu Man and we said that Qian Wengui was a member of the resistance. This was not something we came up with. The directors also said this at the meeting. Besides, we see that you don’t have him in your contract, so just pretend that you don’t have him. Let’s say we are really stupid, we dare not forget our roots, and we can still oppose everyone’s decision. Zhang Zhengdian also fought before liberation. Participated in the revolution." "Hmmm! How beautiful to hear what he said!" Everyone felt this way in their hearts, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Wen Cai said: "Zhang Zhengdian's attitude is very good. In the past, our doubts about him were incorrect. We should not distrust a revolutionary comrade easily. This is an experience." Then there was silence, and Zhao Delu, who was about to question Zhang Zhengdian about some of his past activities, took a breath and pulled himself away so that he could stay away from Zhang Zhengdian. After a while, Zhang Zhengdian got up to go out to urinate, but Zhao Delu suddenly pinned him down and shouted to the chairman: "The meeting is not over, and no one is allowed to go out!" Zhang Zhengdian had to sit down again, muttering: "Oh! Trust people." The meeting hall became unanimously jubilant again, shouting: "Yes, the meeting is not over, and no one is allowed to go out." Then they shouted: "Detain Qian Wengui." Everyone responded: "If you detain it, you will see that the common people will die tomorrow." Great!" "Yes, buckle it up!" Cheng Ren also felt disgusted, but he couldn't refute him, he didn't have the courage, he often wanted to be brave, but there was always something pulling him down.He thought: "People are also oppressed, but they live in his house. Outsiders don't know it, they only know that it's his niece. Alas, it's not convenient for us to say, alas, why bother to let people abuse her? We don't object to that old man. That guy will do it." - Cheng Ren himself always thought he was very fair, and he also hated that old guy, and he was willing to fight him.But he didn't want to mention his niece, always thinking that he would connect with his niece, but he didn't expect that it would liberate her.He felt that he was already sorry for her, and if he dragged her into it again and used her to wash himself, he would feel even more sorry.I thought to myself, if I don't marry her for the rest of my life, the matter will naturally be understood, and there is no need to argue. Many people looked at him and asked him to speak, but later he explained that he had classified Qian Wengui as a landlord, but Zhang Zhengdian objected, saying that he had already separated from his son, but Zhang Yumin changed it according to Zhang Zhengdian's wishes. He cannot be held responsible for this matter.He believes that Qian Wengui should be the landlord, and they are fake family members. Throughout the evening he was unsatisfactory.He is Qian Wengui's long-term worker, his tenant, and the director of the peasant association, but he is not determined or active.Someone suggested that the next day's farmers' association meeting should elect a chairman, and anyone related to Qian Wengui could not be elected.Everyone agrees with this assertion - yes!Let the people choose what they want. Zhang Pin also said that this is a matter of thought and cannot be forced.In the future, it is necessary to look at the facts and demonstrate it through specific actions. He also encouraged them to take the lead and not fall on the tail of the mass movement wave based on the background of each of them.This puts everyone on their toes, everyone feels flawed, and everyone is willing to do a good thing or two. When the meeting was about to end, Zhang Zhengguo stood up, lowered his voice and asked, "Shall we go first?" Zhang Yumin replied, "Yes! You go first, and temporarily detain him in Xu Youwu's backyard pile of grass. Send some people." Zhang Zhengdian was taken aback, realizing that it was too late, and he said, "Yes! Lock it up first, let the security officer go out in person. Tie him up tightly." He was opposed by everyone, and no one said it. okay. After Zhang Zhengguo left, the atmosphere became tense for a while. There was nothing to talk about, but none of them wanted to leave.Waiting for Zhang Zhengguo to return after a while, he went home in peace.Along the way, everyone couldn't help talking loudly about this exciting incident, so before the next day, many people in the village knew what happened that night, but everyone was willing to spread it open.
