It's another weekend, and Qin Yin is back in the small mountain village. Qin's father and Qinsheng went back to work at the aqueduct construction site, and the family was a little calmer. My mother also began to adjust her mentality, finishing the family's farm work during the day, and only in the evening did she light a kerosene lamp and do some extra work with a sewing machine in her free time. Since her sister promised to send her to school in the autumn, Qin Sheng has been very affectionate to her sister, and even took the initiative to make a bowl of porridge for her sister when she was eating.

Although Grandma Qin is self-reliant, she also pays attention to the affairs of the Qin family. The next morning, when Grandma Qin saw Qin Yin go out, she quietly pulled Qin Yin into her room and asked mysteriously, "Didn't you buy that sewing machine yourself?"

Qin Yin replied: "I borrowed Li Fei's money, and he bought it for me." ”

When Grandma heard this, she didn't say anything, but said in an almost admonishing tone: "You have to learn well, but you can't learn badly." ”

"Huh?" asked Kotone, puzzled, "how can Grandma talk like that? ”

"When people in the village go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things, they listen to the people from the supply and marketing cooperatives say that you have received other people's things and helped them make broadcasts that should not be broadcast. Grandma said.

"Supply and marketing cooperatives?" Qin Yin naturally thought of Aunt Chen, "She didn't understand the situation and talked nonsense." ”

"I'm going to learn well in the future. Grandma kept saying the words "learn well" as if others hadn't learned well. After the sound of "oh, oh", he left his grandmother's house and went to the field to assist his mother in hoeing weeds and picking vegetables.

On the same day, in different locations. At the aqueduct construction site, a commune cadre hurriedly ran to the commune leader, saying that the commune had received a registered letter to the leader, and he was worried about delaying the matter, so he made a special trip to send it over.

At this moment, the leaders of the commune had just finished reporting to Xin Xian, a high-ranking county official, on the labor situation of the commune. The two of them were about to leave, and when they saw the commune cadres hurrying over, they also stopped. The commune leader took the letter, skimmed through it, and frowned. He handed the letter to Xin Xian. Xin Xian opened the letter, and the handwriting that greeted him was hard for him to believe.

This is an anonymous whistleblower letter about the sound of the piano. Xin Xian read it silently from beginning to end:

Dear Commune Leaders,

I reported the announcer of the commune's radio station. Qin Yin seems to be honest, but behind the scenes, he has done a lot of unsightly things. A few days ago, Qinyin was in charge of interviewing Li Fei, the contractor of the fish pond, and colluded with Li Fei to reach a dirty deal. In order to become famous, Li Fei paid for a sewing machine and gave it to Qinyin. Qin Yin took Li Fei's sewing machine and helped him broadcast advanced deeds. Today, the sewing machine is hidden in the pianist in the small mountain village. Whether there are other dirtier deals between Qin Yin and Li Fei, I have no way of knowing, and I ask the leaders of the commune to thoroughly investigate and severely punish them.

Xin Xian glanced at the payment: an insider. He then handed the letter back to the commune leader and asked him what he thought of the matter and how he planned to deal with it.

The leaders of the commune did not dare to call the shots, so they said that everything was up to the secretary's arrangement.

Xin Xian sighed and said, "I usually deal with Qinyin, I don't think she is like a person who is inconsistent with what she said in the report letter.

The commune leader looked at Xin Xian suspiciously. Xin Xian said to the commune leader, this is a report letter for you, not for me, an announcer of the commune, and it is not my turn to deal with it.

"Then let's go get somebody. Said the commune leader.

Xin Xian glared into the eyes of the commune leaders and said, "Who are you arresting? How do you determine whether the reported matter is true or false?" and then said slowly: "We can't wronged a good person, nor can we let a bad person go." Since there are people who have specifically reported her, then you should go and investigate. Whether it is true or not can only be clarified through investigation, and we cannot judge a person based on subjective assumptions. ”

Although it was fashionable and difficult for the commune to devote a lot of manpower to the aqueduct site, a three-member investigation team was organized to conduct a detailed investigation into the situation reported in the anonymous report.

The investigation team successively found Qinyin, Qinmu, Li Fei, the workers hired by Li Fei, and some villagers in Xiaoshan Village to learn about the relevant situation. Qin Yin, Qin Mother, and Li Fei all truthfully reported the situation to the investigation team. The investigation team also went to Qin's house to inspect the sewing machine, read the relevant reports on Qinyin's employment incident, and inspected the fish pond on the spot.

Finally, the investigation team also made an investigation conclusion: "In the process of interviewing the hired worker, Qin Yin was liked by Li Fei, and Li Fei gave a sewing machine worth 180 yuan to Qin Yin's mother in the name of Qin Yin in order to please Qin Yin. After Qinyin knew the truth of the matter, he failed to actively return the sewing machine, but in the name of borrowing money from Li Fei to buy a sewing machine, the sewing machine belonged to Qin's mother, and Qinyin was responsible for repaying 180 yuan to Li Fei, and the current 160 yuan was still owed and could not be paid off in time. At present, it has not been found that Qinyin and Li Fei have colluded with each other or reached improper transactions and other problems. ”

The investigation team reported the situation to the leaders of the commune, and the leaders of the commune, in view of the fact that Xin Xian already knew the reason for the anonymous report, did not dare to deal with it without authorization, and sent the results of the report to Xin Xian. Xin Xian read the investigation report and felt that it was not a big deal, so he made a comment on the report: "Why didn't Qin Yin actively return the sewing machine?" and then returned the document to the commune leaders.

The commune leaders also asked the investigation team to find out why "Qin Yin did not actively return the sewing machine". The investigation team replied: "Because the mother of the piano wanted to buy a sewing machine, she did not buy it for more than 20 years. Qin Yin promised his mother to buy a sewing machine, and once mentioned this matter to Li Fei, Li Fei gave the sewing machine as he liked, and Qin Yin also pushed the boat without returning it, and only promised to pay off the money for the purchase of the sewing machine. ”

The commune leaders reported the situation to Xin Xian. It happened that Xin Xian was anxious to go to a construction site to inspect the danger, so he did not understand the situation carefully. He just said to the leader of the commune: "As the leader of the commune, you can deal with this little matter as you want, and you don't have to ask me for everything." ”

The leaders of the commune also found the director of the radio station and solemnly demanded that the director of the radio station do a good job of the relevant work, and as for the anonymous report, according to the results of the investigation, it should be criticized and educated for the fact that Qin Yin did not actively return the sewing machine. And that was the end of the matter.

The stationmaster found Kotone, criticized her for not actively returning the sewing machine, and told her that she would not use it to work in the future. Qin Yin asked suspiciously, "Did I make a mistake?" The stationmaster said: "You didn't make a mistake, it's just that because you are a part-time announcer who was temporarily invited back by the radio station, I don't want to cause any more trouble, and the radio station doesn't need you anymore, so I don't need you to come to work." ”

Kotone wanted to say something, but the stationmaster motioned for her not to say any more.

Qin Yin himself also knows that working part-time at the radio station is originally the stationmaster's final say, and it is futile to say anything by himself. With tears in his eyes, he packed his things and left the radio station.

When she left the radio station, she felt sadness for the first time in her life. Whether it was Li Fei's inexplicable delivery of a sewing machine, or an anonymous report letter, or the stationmaster of the radio station who couldn't help but say that she didn't need to continue to work part-time, all of these made her deeply feel a kind of helplessness and powerlessness, and she couldn't help but feel herself in many things in the world.

What should I do next? Qin Yin walked on the way home, her heart was empty, as if the whole world had abandoned her, loneliness, loneliness, loss, helplessness overwhelmed her, and the interest in singing and active thinking in the past seemed to be destroyed in an instant......
