Chapter Ninety-Four: Return to Beijing
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan learned about what happened to Yang Weifan at the train station that afternoon.
This is not only because the "general" relayed the scene at that time for them in detail, but also because Yang Weifan's worst worry appeared, and there was really lace news in the hospital about Yang Weifan and Zhou Manna being engaged in objects.
This incident even alarmed the leaders of the hospital, from the director to the political commissar, to Vice President Wang, all of them talked to Zhou Manna.
Of course, Zhou Manna's identity is unusual, and Yang Weifan is a retained cadre, so they will not be punished. The original intention of the hospital leaders should only be to understand the situation, so as to prescribe the right medicine and control the spread of unfavorable rumors.
However, everyone soon found out that Zhou Manna was as relaxed as ever after the conversation, and the hospital leaders did not have the slightest intention of refuting the rumors. So all these signs can only show one thing, that is, this is true.
As a result, the more this matter spread, the more lively it became. Many people regard Yang Weifan and Zhou Manna as the most real romantic stories around them.
The most common view is to recognize that they are a pair of golden boys and girls. And more and more people believe that Yang Weifan went to the capital this time specifically to pass the pass of Zhou Manna's parents. As long as Minister Zhou and his wife nod, he will be the minister's son-in-law.
To say that at the beginning, Hong Yanwu also had the heart to watch the excitement, and he was happy about it for a long time behind his back.
At first, he admired his vision and felt quite prescient. The second is that Yang Weifan is really a little wronged, and he doesn't have much to do in the capital, so he has a ready-made daughter-in-law here, and the whole realistic version of "Lalang matching" is a reality.
But soon, when Zhou Manna came out of Vice President Wang's office on December 12, she hummed a rare song. Later, there were rumors that the reason why she was in such a good mood was because Yang Weifan's mother had specially talked to her on the phone from Huhai and had officially recognized their relationship.
Gradually, Hong Yanwu came to figure out the taste. Not only did he feel that this thing was not funny at all, but he also had a new understanding of Zhou Manna.
In his opinion, if all this was intentionally promoted by Zhou Manna herself, then this woman's scheming is simply terrible!
You think, in such a conservative era, even if an unmarried man and woman fall in love a few more times, it will be regarded as a stain on life. But Zhou Manna, a girl, was willing to risk the price of her reputation, and did not hesitate to use public opinion to create established facts and force Yang Weifan to accept herself. What kind of temperament is this?
It's so daring! It's too open-minded! It's a great desire to control!
Such a girl, as long as she wants to get something, even if she wants to get it at any cost. That is by no means the ideal object of Yang Weifan, who is casual in nature and yearns for freedom.
Therefore, Hong Yanwu gradually started to worry about Yang Weifan. After all, Yang Weifan's encounter with the Peach Blossom Tribulation was caused by him, and it would be too uninteresting to stand by and watch.
And what he is most worried about now is that Yang Weifan does not know about it in the capital, and once he rashly visits the Zhou family, he will fall deeper and deeper, making things even more difficult to clean up.
Fortunately, Yang Weifan is reliable and thoughtful. After he and "Xiao Baizi" successfully sent the "Frustrated Tiger Dragon" to Hong's house, in order to reassure Hong Yanwu, they made a long-distance call to the hospital's surgical office on the same day. I got in touch with Hong Yanwu quite in a timely manner.
Hong Yanwu didn't talk nonsense, he simply reported the situation here, and reminded Yang Weifan repeatedly. said that if it was not interesting to Zhou Manna, it would be better to entrust others to bring it to the Zhou family, and never come to the door yourself. As for Huhai Yang Weifan's parents, they must also be prepared, think of reasons, and explain clearly.
On the phone, Yang Weifan naturally sighed again and said that he was unlucky, and was glad that Hong Yanwu reported the news in time and pulled himself.
In this way, Hong Yanwu finally felt a little more at ease. This matter is over for the time being.
December 16 was the day when Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan's wounds were removed.
Although the Navy 406 Hospital is a place of both recuperation and medical treatment, Vice President Wang was asked by Yang Weifan that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquanman could stay for free until they were completely cured.
However, Hong Yanwu considered Yang Weifan's situation, and in order to avoid him from meeting Zhou Manna again in the future, he still insisted on going through the discharge procedures. He and Chen Liquan were wrapped in cotton clothes, sat on a tricycle pedaled by the "general", and moved to Yang Weifan's small western-style building to recuperate.
Of course, Han Ying has begun to show her pregnancy this month, and now she can't take care of housework. If there were two more wounded people in the small western-style building, it would seem difficult to take care of them, and they would affect each other.
But this is not the case.
Because of Hong Yanwu, they can already walk slowly on the ground, and they have no problem taking care of themselves. There is no shortage of money in the hands of a few people, and they don't have to cook three meals a day at all, so they can order whatever they want, and they can rely on the "general" to go to the restaurant to order food.
Besides, Xiang Hong often comes to help with cleaning, washing and shabu. In fact, no one caused any trouble to anyone. On the contrary, having each other's company also adds a lot of fun.
When they were fine, they just played poker together, played chess, chattered and so on. Even the "general" is much more convenient to discuss business with Hong Yanwu. It's really a happy life that is not a relative, better than a relative, not a recuperation, better than a recuperation.
In addition, the conditions in the small western-style building are superior, and the cat winter is indeed very comfortable.
The boiler is self-heating, and you can take hot baths 24 hours a day. Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan wiped their bodies, but it was a lot more convenient.
Not to mention that there is a phone here, as long as you want, Hong Yanwu can talk to his family at any time, but it is just a matter of spending three more cents to trouble Qiuzi's mother to run.
Of course, there is no need to worry about phone disconnection. The high-ranking family is just like this, but he fights hard, and no one fights with him.
So from then on, Hong Yanwu was able to learn about the recent situation at home from his mother's mouth in a timely and full manner.
After passing the words several times, Hong Yanwu not only knew that after Shou Jingfang used the "Frustrated Tiger Dragon" to dispense medicine for diagnosis and treatment, his father's body and bones were getting better and better day by day. I also know that due to the ****** issued the "Notice on Adjusting the Wages of Some Employees". Workers like his eldest brother and sister-in-law, who have worked for many years and have low wages, have been uniformly raised by half a level since October.
As for his second brother, although he has been waiting anxiously after the college entrance examination, after all, he is much more prepared than others, and his grades should be good, and it should be a high probability that he can be successfully admitted to university.
In short, everything is fine at home, and everything is relatively smooth. On the contrary, her mother did not know about the injuries of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan. Always inquired about their situation.
The reason why this is so is actually because when Yang Weifan left, Hong Yanwu specially instructed this kid to only say that he and Chen Liquan were going out with the fishing boat in Bincheng to "fish for conch" and "abalone", and each person could earn ten yuan a day, because the production team would settle the bill at the end of the year, so he couldn't go home for the time being.
In this way, there is an excuse, so that the parents and family do not worry about themselves. At the same time, he also laid the groundwork by the way, so that when he returned to Beijing in the future, he could use some of the money to subsidize his family openly.
Speaking of which, I have to praise Yang Weifan again.
Because Yang Weifan's emotional intelligence is really high, when he and "Little Baizi" went to Hong Yanwu's house, they not only fully followed Hong Yanwu's instructions to do what they should do. also played temporarily, and made an excuse for Hong Yanwu's sixteen boxes of "private goods" Moutai, saying that it was kept for himself.
And in the end, seeing that Hong Yanwu's family conditions were so poor that he couldn't talk about it, he generously took out a thousand yuan as a meeting gift, wanting to honor his parents for Hong Yanwu. And his reason was that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan helped him drive away the hooligans in Bincheng at the beginning, and they were his life-saving benefactors.
Of course, this frightened the Hong family and made it difficult to accept. But there are "little hundred sons" to testify, and Yang Weifan is an officer again, so they can't help but believe it.
So in the end, Wang Yunlin felt that it was difficult to resist the hospitality, and she reluctantly accepted three hundred yuan. But no matter how much you don't dare to ask for, in those days, the 300 yuan was enough to make a destitute family enter a well-off life.
It is precisely because of this that every time she calls, Wang Yunlin will inevitably interrogate Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan for a while, asking them if they are tired from working, saying that although fishing makes a lot of money, it is the hardest job, and asks them not to care about their bodies for money.
In addition, he always asked Yang Weifan if he had returned to Bincheng, so that Hong Yanwu must express his gratitude to others.
In this way, Hong Yanwu was completely relieved at home. He also put more energy on the public accounts of the "sea cucumbers", and how to deal with the beginning and the end, and completely get rid of the stock of sea cucumbers.
Now the reality outside is that the sea cucumber trade has long since revived. It can be said that some time ago, the government's strict management policy basically did not play its due role. And as New Year's Day approaches, even the sea cucumber trade is intensifying, and the price has risen to more than 170 yuan.
Therefore, most of the "sea bumpers" are quite nostalgic for the few 500 catties of sea cucumbers left in their hands, and they are a little reluctant to make a move.
But how could Hong Yanwu allow them to be confused? He held a meeting in a reasonable manner with facts.
There are three main reasons for this.
First, in December, the government expanded the fishing of sea cucumbers, and I heard that many sea cucumbers were transferred from Qingdao to supplement the market. This is all for the supply needs of the two sections.
Now the newly dried sea cucumbers have begun to be marketed in batches. The sea cucumbers are already available in the store, so it is conceivable that the situation of sea cucumbers will soon be out of stock.
Second, the degree of private capital participation has been in full swing, but the price increase of sea cucumbers has slowed down significantly, which can be seen. The stamina of speculating funds has clearly become a weak situation.
Third, the government's control methods will not be left unattended, despite the failure of their early control methods.
Because now sea cucumbers, one pound for a bicycle has a surplus, two pounds can be exchanged for three "pearl" watches, if it can always be such an outrageous price, then thousands of "sea bumpers" in Bincheng will all have to become a millionaire.
Is this possible? Can our country let that happen?
So this means that there will inevitably be more drastic measures. And once the government has made up its mind and has the experience of failure in the early stage, not only will there be fewer and fewer loopholes to exploit, but the punishment will definitely be the most severe.
To say that the reason why some people hesitate in this matter is just because they are confused by interests. In fact, for Hong Yanwu, no matter how unreasonable the order he forcibly made at this time, the "sea bumpers" would never really oppose it.
Because not to mention that he has always led everyone to get enough oil and water, he personally hunted and killed the "Foiled Tiger Dragon" at him, and it is also worthy of everyone's respect for him. Not to mention, he also explained all the truths to everyone one by one.
So as soon as these words were finished, the "sea bumpers" immediately clarified their eyes and were persuaded again.
On the occasion of the arrival of the New Year, Hong Yanwu and the "general" summoned all the "sea cucumbers" to Yang Weifan's small western-style building and held a unique New Year's party.
To say that the most special place of this dinner scene, and the place that shocks and exudes infinite attraction for everyone, is by no means a table full of delicacies and wine. Rather, a corner of the restaurant is made up of 650 stacks of banknotes, and a neat "money wall" is arranged on the countertop.
Needless to say, in addition to celebrating the New Year, the main purpose of this dinner is of course the "spoils sharing meeting" that everyone has been waiting for for many days.
Before the dinner began, Hong Yanwu, as usual, first sent the profits of 150,000 "sea bumpers" to the bottom of the sea cucumbers.
As a result, there is no need to warm up at all, and the atmosphere reaches a climax at once. No one can still speak after receiving the dividends, and everyone is happy to close their mouths.
Then, Hong Yanwu also began to report the public account.
According to his book calculations, the cash profit totaled 501,356 yuan, in addition to 200 square meters of various colored plates, and more than 260 cases of various kinds of wine.
As soon as the specific accounts were reported, the scene was thunderous, and everyone couldn't help but applaud and cheer, almost not overturning the roof.
Because after such a divide, the big guy not only has money to spend, but also has enough wood for furniture, and there is no end to good wine. It's really spent, used, and drunk. Who can not be excited about such a simple and crude myth of "all-round wealth"?
But in the end, after receiving the cash, Hong Yanwu did another amazing thing. He not only burned the public account book on the spot, but also said something to pour cold water on everyone, which immediately calmed everyone's emotions a lot when they were burned by money.
Hong Yanwu mainly talked about two things.
The first is the issue of how to deal with wealth after the money is divided.
He repeated the old saying, first of all, he asked everyone not to be confused by money, engage in unrestrained consumption, and cause trouble.
The other is to teach everyone that we should gradually exchange cash for Swiss watches, famous cigarettes, famous wine, and other things that are small in size and can maintain their value.
Because putting aside the theory of currency depreciation, this is not only conducive to cashing in at any time when using money, but also conducive to hiding and reducing the attention of others.
That is, if something really happens, the Public Security Bureau will find out, and the calculated value will be calculated according to the official price, and it can be counted less.
Second, there is the question of what to do if something really happens.
Based on Hong Yanwu's own experience, as long as it is a gang crime, once one person has an accident, no one else can escape. Because under the coercion and inducement of the police, the person who caused the accident first will always confess to others in order to reduce his guilt.
So he put the ugly words in front of him, saying, "Don't talk about buddy righteousness, Fu Zhigao never thought that he would betray the revolution, did he?"
And he believes that the only effective way to prevent it is to follow the Italian mafia's "law of silence".
Specifically, whoever is the first to "go in" must first understand that he is responsible for his own affairs. If you can do it without implicating others. Then everyone will work together to rescue and spend money to catch people together.
Even if he can't get out, he must still go to prison, and during his time in prison, everyone will not miss his settling-in allowance and try every means to reduce his sentence.
However, it is not the same when someone else is implicated. Penalties were imposed on the first person to enter, and not only did these benefits be abolished. Others will also speak in unison and confess the main culprit as the first person.
After hearing the above two items, everyone present was silent, and most of them felt quite awkward. No one expected Hong Yanwu to say such realistic and cruel words.
Fortunately, at this time, the "general" began to speak in support of Hong Yanwu, and finally changed the stalemate and embarrassment in front of him.
"General" didn't say anything else, but mentioned two.
First, it was all because of Hong Yanwu that he brought wealth to everyone, and he didn't miss it.
Second, Hong Yanwu told him a sentence that he thought was particularly reasonable.
That is, there is no such thing as "fairness" in the world, and all disputes arise from it. As long as people's psychology is unbalanced, then they can do anything, isn't "flying crab" an example in front of you?
So don't look at this as a bad word, but it is undoubtedly a good way to maintain everyone's mental balance in the worst-case scenario, and it is definitely for everyone's sake.
At this time, "Old Knife Fish" also spoke, and he had one meaning, that is, everyone could not doubt Hong Yanwu's character.
Because in the days when everyone worked together, it was Hong Yanwu who had been suffering silently. All the extra costs were paid for by him. But the benefits haven't forgotten everyone.
In addition, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan can not abandon each other in such a dangerous situation, and they are by no means ruthless people by virtue of this.
The words of "general" and "old swordfish" can be described as one sentence.
Immediately, the knots in the hearts of the "sea bumpers" were suddenly untied. No one had any more to say, so the atmosphere of the New Year's dinner was harmonious again.
On the same day, under the warm light of the small western-style building, everyone drank and talked happily and spent an unforgettable night of happiness. Together, they enjoyed unimaginable wealth and ushered in the first day of 1978 together.
Not to mention, it has not been three days after the "spoils distribution conference", as if Hong Yanwu is the mayor of Bincheng City, and the government has to obey his command. The strictest regulations on the sea cucumber market in Ben Cheng have really been introduced.
This time is different from the past, not only "Ben Cheng Daily" published a special news on the front page of "How long can the price of sea cucumbers last at a very high price".
The city government also held a plenary meeting to officially define the reselling of sea cucumbers as an "unhealthy trend", a cancer that corrodes and interferes with the social economy. He also asked the cadres of the organs to take the lead in setting an example, strictly self-examining, and once someone else participates in it. It will not be tolerated, and it will be expelled from the party and public office.
At the same time, the specific management departments have also carried out stricter encirclement, pursuit and interception, and the industrial and commercial bureau, the price bureau, and the tax bureau have all stopped handling other matters in their hands, and have made every effort to inspect the private trafficking of sea cucumbers.
In this way, from top to bottom, there was a great upheaval in society as a whole. In the short term, not only do many people really lose their jobs. There are also many sea cucumber traders who have been sent away by the Public Security Bureau and eaten in prison.
Now everyone knows that it is a real game, so the sea cucumber market in Bincheng is really like a high-rise building being blasted, and it collapsed in an instant.
This kind of decline, which can be called a cliff, is far more crazy than when it rises. In just over ten days, it has completely returned to the rational price. Let the many people involved lose their money.
Thrilling!
This is the biggest feeling of the "sea bumpers" who have long since escaped.
At this time, in their minds, even if Hong Yanwu is not an immortal, he is a half-immortal like a "heavenly eye".
And along with this kind of social pain, it is Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan who relax comfortably and recover quickly.
By mid-January, they had almost completely recovered. At least, they are no different from ordinary people in their daily actions.
Naturally, leaving home was also on the agenda. However, these acquaintances in Bencheng were reluctant to let them go, thinking of their benefits, and they deliberately invited their guests from house to house as if they had a tacit understanding.
The two of them had to eat a full circle, which took more than ten days, but they didn't expect Yang Weifan to return to Bincheng again. Now, it was delayed for several days.
And by the time they were able to make their official trip, it was already February 2nd. At this time, according to the Spring Festival, there are only a few days, and these buddies in Bincheng are really not good to keep the two of them anymore.
In this way, on that day, nearly 20 relatives and friends, men, women and children were collectively embraced.
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, the little brothers, with 150,000 yuan in cash, each carrying a photo shoot in the "Lixin Photo Studio" with the most complete photo shoot in their arms, as well as a lot of dried seafood sent by everyone, finally stepped on the train to return to the south.
And at the same time that more than a dozen hands waved together, in the reluctant eyes of everyone, they rushed to their long-lost capital with these unforgettable friendships and blessings, and continued their life journey......
Goodbye Ben Thanh!
