Chapter 37: Family Origins
The atmosphere in the courtyard was very awkward, knowing that Hong Yanwu was a two-labor worker, many, many people's police and workers' militia began to whisper, and no one was sure whether they should write a letter of praise to Hong Yanwu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Faced with this change in attitude, Zhao Zhenmin scratched his head and couldn't help but feel sorry for Hong Yanwu.
"Hey~hey~hey! I said, why are you all like this? What happened to this brother? Only when the ex-campers have done good deeds should they be even more praised. Director Qin, didn't you say that the first duty of the police is to reform the people who have made mistakes? It turns out that this brother has done a good job......
Director Qin frowned and kept thinking, but he didn't seem to hear it.
At this time, Deputy Director Sun had already read Hong Yanwu's materials carefully. As soon as he heard Zhao Zhenmin's words, he raised his head and sneered with a smile hidden in his smile. "Okay, Zhao Zhenmin, you really get along with the re-education through labor elements, and you are all called brothers? I think you forgot that you are still a people's policeman, right?"
This sentence blocked Zhao Zhenmin's mouth, and Xing Zhengyi, who was standing aside, his face became extremely ugly at the same time.
Hong Yanwu's heart was also tight, and he saw that the signs were a little bad.
The deputy director of this "grandson" who interjected seemed to be at odds with the two policemen, and he would smash the pot if he didn't get it right.
Sure enough, the deputy director of "Sun Tzu" looked at him as if he was looking at some kind of object, and asked in a gloomy tone, "What kind of family background are you?"
Hong Yanwu's head was blown up. This is the most fatal question, how did he forget it? He also bears another bigger political stain on him, that is, his family background that has fallen on him since his birth.
Those who have not lived in this era may not know that in this special era, members of society will be divided and distinguished. And this division began as early as the fifties, especially from the mid-sixties to the end of the seventies, and family origin became the only criterion for dividing social hierarchies. It can not only affect people's lives, but also determine everyone's future and destiny. For example, going to school, recruiting workers, joining the army, being promoted, engaging in political work, marital problems, selecting advanced and model workers, etc., all have to speak according to family composition. And this kind of judging standard has penetrated into every corner of society, making people have nowhere to hide.
To go up, it's critical to solving organizational problems. For example, to join the Red Soldiers, Red Guards, join the regiment, and join the party, not only must the three generations be strictly investigated, but they must also be pure red to pass the test. To put it further, even if you are in a labor camp, the upbringing of a good family background will be regarded as a contradiction among the people, and it is often used to help the re-education cadres with a bad family background.
At this moment, the hidden pain and humiliation in Hong Yanwu's memory that had almost been forgotten were all clearly awakened.
"Remember, don't play with that little cub and beat you up if you don't obey. His father was a capitalist, a rich man in the old society, and the rich exploited the poor, and they were bad people. ”
When Hong Yanwu was a child, he heard with his own ears that the neighbors of Furuli admonished their children in this way. Although he didn't know what family background was at that time, this thing had already begun to make him ostracized by others.
"Cut, can you compare with me? My grandfather was a foreign cart puller, and my dad was a three-wheeled pedaler. You still want to join the 'Red Soldiers' as a 'Black Five'? ”
Kuroko proudly displayed the diamond-shaped armband he had just worn on his left arm (on December 22, 1967, the Red Soldiers officially replaced the Young Pioneers as the only legal grassroots organization for children in the country. Its emblem was originally a diamond-shaped armband with gold accents on a red background, pinned to the left sleeve of the shirt with cowpox. This kind of armband was originally made of cotton, and it was not allowed to get dirty, so it was necessary to press a plastic film to the comprehensive repair department, and then changed it to plastic products. Because of its shape and material, it is commonly known as "piece soup". Although Kuroko always failed the exam and squatted for two years, the family background of "Zilai Red" still made Kuroko successfully become a red soldier of a great leader. When Kuroko and other children held a ceremony to join the Red Soldiers on the playground and happily put their newly issued armbands on their sleeves, Hong Yanwu could only hide in the classroom and watch through the window. At that time, tears rolled in his eyes, and the only feeling was that he felt that a father like Kuroko's father was a great father. In comparison, his capitalist father is simply inferior to a little finger that pedals three wheels.
"Dog cub, Hong Yanwu, long white hair, white hair and green, eat garbage and fart......"
I don't know when it started, several boys in the class first developed the habit of chasing Hong Yanwu and scolding him with a smooth mouth. And gradually, more and more people in the class began to enjoy bullying him. They drew small animals behind his back with chalk, spit sputum on slips of paper and pasted them on his clothes, and secretly crushed him from behind with a slingshot during class. When he went to the toilet, they threw bricks into the toilet, splashing his body with feces and urine. By the time he graduated from elementary school, these fun and fun games almost made the boys in the class gloat and happy.
"What kind of good thing can the son of a capitalist be if he kills the girl who raised him? ”
Several men in white coats chased after each other brandishing rolling pins and frying spoons, while Hong Yanwu fled in front of him with his head in his hands like a stray animal. The men chased him because he had lost six eggs in the school cafeteria, and the reason he was squatting next to the cafeteria was just to nibble on his cool head with the smell of the food. It wasn't that he hadn't thought to explain it clearly, he had sworn to them, and even allowed them to search him. But these people didn't care at all, they just wanted to grab him and beat him for nothing, so he was forced to run. But along the way, more students participated in the chase and interception, and they chased and threw him with coal and mud. His buttocks, his back, and the back of his head were all aching, but these people were laughing and making fun of his pain, as if they were participating in a game of great pleasure. And he could only run as fast as he could, trying to run around the corners as best he could. Don't fall! Hurry up!
As Hong Yanwu grew up, there were more and more similar encounters, which made his understanding of his family background more and more profound.
Coming from a bad family meant that a big puddle of black mud would fall at him at any time, or the ink of a fountain pen would throw at him, and the only thing his parents could comfort him was "Don't cause trouble, avoid them"......
The poor family background means that there will be overwhelming slogans and big-character posters with blood on the outside of his yard, which makes him shudder at a glance......
The poor family background meant that the children in the alley could throw stones at his mother at will, and her body was bruised and bloodied......
The poor family background meant that his father would have to hang a big black and red cross sign on his chest, and he would be strangled by wire and then pushed around in humiliation......
The poor family background meant that many people could shout "Down with him!" and then casually go in and out of his house, touching the flesh and skin of his parents and their souls in various revolutionary ways......
A bad family background means that all of his family will live together in misfortune. The younger sister will be spit all over the body by her classmates, the second brother will be assigned to the poorest and most miserable place when he goes to the mountains and the countryside, the eldest brother can only go to the worst small factory when he is assigned a job, and the mother has to get up at three o'clock in the morning every day to sweep the whole street for the father, and the father has to wear a high hat with paper paste in the thatched house even if he drags the sick body......
The family background is not good, so that his whole family deserves only one power, which is to chew on pain in never-ending torment.
Deputy Director Sun saw that Hong Yanwu was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but be vigilant. He pierced Hong Yanwu's face with a needle-like gaze, and raised his voice to urge and ask. "Tell me, what the hell are you from?"
This harsh and contemptuous questioning made Hong Yanwu feel embarrassed, feeling that he had become a garbage can on the side of the road again, or a dirty and tattered piece of clothes.
What to do? Lie?
No, he has undoubtedly aroused the suspicion of the director of the "grandson" in front of him now, and he will definitely not be able to fool him around. If you are caught lying about your family background, it is not an ordinary problem.
But if he admits it, he will rely on this old boy's tone and beating nature, and at first glance, he will be the kind of master who likes to go to the platform at every turn and takes the power in his hands.
He has seen this kind of person, and there was a kid in the labor re-education brigade who was also virtuous. If he talks about class struggle, he is revolutionary. That kid was the kitchen attendant, and when he was helping the cook, he deliberately made things difficult for him with the little power given by the re-education through labor cadres, but he was stupid and made him cry. When we meet again, we will naturally be honest, and I don't dare to mention anything about "downing the rich and opposing the bad right". All the revolutionary passions of the dare are all pretended, and the straw bales are one......
Thinking of this, Hong Yanwu's face was gloomy, his temples suddenly jumped, and he instinctively clenched his fists. But his reason immediately stopped him, no, he must not have a seizure, that is definitely looking for death.
Needless to say, as the saying goes: "I am not afraid of officials, but I am afraid of management", and "officials are crushed to death at the first level". No matter how bad this bastard is, he can't beat it. Not only can he not fight, but this old boy will be a senior with him again, treat him as a grandson, and scare him with needles, he has to admit it, and he has to obediently pretend to be a bear. Who made him a "double material" of forced labor and black five types of children?
Hong Yanwu gasped and forced himself to release his fist, which was already clenched with blood. His forehead was already damp, his hands were still shaking with anger, and his heart felt as if he had been stuffed with cotton balls. This inner struggle is simply harder than a real fight.
He noticed that everyone in the courtyard was waiting for his answer, and their eyes were focused on him, as if they were going to peel him off layer by layer. Zhao Zhenmin and Xing Zhengyi's eyes contained both worry and surprise, which made him even more uncomfortable, and he didn't know if they would change their attitude towards him.
Forget it, it doesn't matter. Pretending to be a grandson is pretending to be a grandson, isn't he used to being so gray?
Hong Yanwu finally breathed a long sigh of relief, lowered his head respectfully, and tried his best to use a flat tone to face the hateful "grandson" in front of him, and re-said the three words that had ravaged him for nearly twenty years in his previous life.
"Capitalists. ”
Just three words can make everyone present take a deep breath, and in an instant, the surrounding air is so cold that it can almost freeze people.
Only Deputy Director Sun showed such a contemptuous look, as proud as a victorious general.
"Cut, it turned out to be a bitch......"
The sudden insult and sneer deeply pierced Hong Yanwu's heart, making the anger he had just suppressed almost out of control. But then he found out that this sentence did not come from Deputy Director Sun's mouth, but from behind him.
Hong Yanwu turned his head angrily, his eyes sharp.
It's Yu San.
I saw that this kid was provocatively raising his chin, his eyes were full of sarcasm, and his bruised and ugly face was full of vicious ridicule.
In Hong Yanwu's heart, he really regretted it unspeakably at this time.
It's still light!
