If winter comes, will spring be far away?

These are the closing words of Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind".

It is true that, as the poem says, the era of torture will finally pass.

The year 1979 was a year in which the whole republic survived the bitter cold winter and was completely rejuvenated in the warmth of spring.

But this opportunity to be born again is not effortless, waiting for God's gift.

Rather, it is our country and nation that have relied on their sense of self-renewal, bravely faced their own erroneous history, and made bold criticisms and corrections, in exchange for a bloody rebirth.

Later in the century, we gave ourselves an opportunity to completely repudiate and correct the Decade Movement.

For reasons that are well known, this "negation" requires a lot of courage, and it is also extremely difficult to "correct."

At the same time, this "movement" has cost a generation of its youth. Therefore, even if the continued harm to people is stopped in time, it is bound to leave deep traces and shocks on the emotional bones.

In this regard, the most direct manifestation is that on August 11, 1978, the short story "Scars" was published in Wen Wei Po, which caused a sensation in the literary world and sparked heated discussions.

This book by Lu Xinhua is an indictment of the damage caused by the "movement" to an ordinary family, and the life experience and unbearable fission of family affection described in the work are the personal experience of many people.

Therefore, countless people who "escaped death" were deeply moved. It not only set off a "scar trend of thought", but also quickly became a social phenomenon that became popular all over the country and resonated with the whole people.

Under the shadow of this social atmosphere, for a whole year from the end of 1978 to 1979, the republic had only one main theme, and that was the interweaving of laughter and tears of elaboration.

Following the rehabilitation of the "Fourth Five-Year Plan" Movement, a series of measures were taken to set things right. Let the Chinese people feel great joy.

Even this is true for the Hong family, who are also included.

Because no one expected that the prophecy that Hong Yanwu always put on his lips would really become true.

This was followed by the problems of "veteran cadres" and "intellectuals" who were seized one after another. Like them, a group of people who have suffered the most from political and family contradictions for the longest time have waited for two and a half years since the end of the "movement" and finally ushered in the day of complete liberation.

On 11 January 1979, the Central Committee made a decision on the issue of the landlords and rich peasants taking off their hats and the issue of the children of the landed rich, and on 12 November 1979, the Central Committee approved and forwarded the "Report on the Request for Instructions on the Problem of Separating the Laborers from the Former Industrial and Commercial Workers" of the six departments, thus prompting the proper resolution of the historical problems left over from the socialist transformation.

As a result, nearly 50 million households have benefited. The Hong family, the Shou family, and even the Wanyan family were all rehabilitated.

From then on, as a member of this society and this country, they no longer have the attribute of inferiority. No one can call them by the words "Black Five" anymore.

Rather, they should be called peasants, workers, teachers, intellectuals accordingly, according to the work or occupation in which they are engaged.

They enjoy all the basic rights of citizens as stipulated in the Constitution, and there will be no discrimination or disguised discrimination.

Later history proved that this great social liberation in 1979 not only ended the social division of the republic, but also liberated the productive forces.

In the course of economic reform, the first to become talented people in economic life, and the first group of successful people are precisely these large numbers of people who have been treated unfairly for a long time.

This is related to their efforts to hone their will in the face of adversity and break through the cage of their minds, and many of them became a solid force for the economic boom of the eighties.

In this way, the people of the whole country have once again been given the opportunity to start in the same world and at the same starting line, and this is undoubtedly a fortunate thing for the whole country and the whole nation.

As the poem "Brig" published that year said: It is a storm and a lamp that binds us together. It's a storm, another light, that divides us again. Not afraid of the ends of the earth, how can it be day and night. You're on my voyage, I'm in your sight.

It is completely conceivable that after this, the lives of the Hong family, the Shou family and the Wanyan family will definitely undergo many positive changes.

It is not only in the spiritual level and political treatment, but with the implementation of one policy after another, there are real benefits.

For example, first of all, Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin, who have long passed the retirement age, have received the coveted retirement benefits of regular employees.

Although both of them can only receive retirement benefits according to the minimum standard in the newly implemented "Interim Measures for Workers' Retirement and Retirement".

However, Hong Lucheng originally approved the salary base was high, and the standard of 60 percent was more than 70 yuan. In addition, Wang Yunlin can also get at least twenty-five yuan of the minimum guarantee standard. Together, the monthly retirement allowance can reach 100 yuan.

Compared with the past, Hong Lucheng did not have a single point of "labor reform", and Wang Yunlin's embarrassment of receiving a salary of 38 yuan alone is of course much stronger.

But despite this, at the beginning, Wang Yunlin was really reluctant to quit her job in the cloth shoe factory.

It's not for anything else, she thinks it's not easy to find a formal job now, and she thinks about being like someone else's family, wanting a child to take over her class and quit herself.

But Hong Yanwu said, "Mom, you really think too much." You don't have to worry about the eldest and second. Not to mention Xiaoru's young age, her studies are better than my second brother, and she will definitely be the material for college in the future. I'm afraid that just me and Izumiko are really worrying you. But as soon as you come, your cloth shoe factory will not look down on us, and will not be willing to accept us as a 'two-labor worker', even if you beg your grandfather to sue your grandmother, you may not be able to make sense. Second, if there is such an opportunity, who will go between me and Izumi? Besides, we don't want to be separated. Also, your factory is also a large collective enterprise at the district level, and what a painful thing it is for a young man like us to deal with a group of old ladies all day long. So, my dear mother, I beg you, don't think about it, quit your errand, and go home and enjoy your happiness......"

Wang Yunlin thought so, but she couldn't listen to Hong Yanwu's tone. still scolded him.

"What's wrong with the district-level collective? You didn't rely on the wages of this large collective to support you in the first place. Hmph, your mother has retired, and in the future, she can only be an old mother at home, serving a few of you, which is more tiring than going to work. ”

When Hong Yanwu heard this, he quickly smiled.

"Yes, yes, I don't mean anything else. If you are wronged, we can have food and clothing, all thanks to your hard work, old lady. Mom, don't worry, if my dad is gone in the future, our family will definitely not be able to act in "Wax Drill", who doesn't care about you, I will care about ......you."

"Hun said!" Wang Yunlin took a sip on the spot when she heard it, she also had nothing to do with this living treasure son.

(Note: "Wax Drill" is a stand-up comedy written by Yan Deshan in the late Qing Dynasty.) The story is about a widow and an old lady whose three sons were unfilial, forcing their widow mother to smelt tin wax and wrap it around her waist to pretend to be private gold and silver. After the three sons and daughters-in-law who were hungry for profit found out, they rushed to provide for their old mothers. After the death of the old mother, she found that her dream of making a fortune had failed, and she was laughed at by the world)

Subsequently, all parts of the capital, with the sub-district offices as the specific executive departments, began to return the confiscated materials in the "campaign" one after another.

Needless to say, this refund process is bound to be confusing and complicated. It will also be a protracted mission.

Because if you think about it, it has been too long since the time of the raid, and the materials are piled up, and it is difficult to sort them out. Many of the items have also been damaged or unaccounted for. There are also some existing things that the owner lacks valid proof.

This is a very real difficulty, and we can only sort out part of it and return part of it.

But even so, being able to get back something that belongs to them is already a good thing that many people dare not think of. Like Shou Jingfang's family, he got a lot of utensils back.

Hardwood furniture, tea bowls, dusters, camphor wood boxes, agate pearl Xuande furnace, enamel Western table clock...... Dozens of large and small pieces, there are really a lot of good things.

But what pleased Shou Jingfang the most was that he found thousands of ancient medical books, imperial medical cases and half-written medical books in the material warehouse of the sub-district office, which was the real heirloom of their Shou family.

Although the people in the street office also hesitated for a while, he had no concrete evidence to prove that it was not good to let him take the things.

But the street director was also a patient of Shou Jingfang. A sentence: "Our street, except for the Shou family, who can have these things? Give him the things, I take this responsibility." "No one is embarrassed anymore, there are two words.

To say that Shou Jingfang and Shou Zhen were very happy to get these ancient books back, the two of them didn't sleep all night when they went back that day, and they sorted out these books together.

The next day, they also beckoned Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to help get a tricycle, and went to the furniture store to buy two large bookcases for the Lajia family. When these books are properly and thoroughly placed, the two of them can be considered at ease.

As for the other valuable things, they were piled up in the hall like a pile of rags, and they didn't bother to care about it for a while. This not only made Hong Yanwu laugh dumbly, but also admired him.

However, the Hong family does not have such a big movement as the Shou family.

This is because most of their family's assets were originally obtained to Hong Kong through Hong Lucheng. The rest of the family fund, the "three antis and five antis" were returned, and they had to be sold when they moved out of the old house, and they filled their stomachs in the three years of the "natural disaster" and treated Wang Yunlin, and they were all consumed.

When it came to the "movement" period, there was no real thing at home for a long time. Because of the protection of the neighbors, they did not suffer much. So it doesn't have much to do with them.

But I didn't expect another good thing to fall from the sky.
