But Cen Xinrui doesn't know that in this world, people have their own difficulties and troubles, regardless of their situation. Although Qu Jinbai was able to escape the impact of the waves and stay in the city because of his status as a member of the county revolutionary committee during the movement to go to the mountains and go to the countryside, he felt that his life was very unsatisfactory and was no less than 108,000 miles away from the situation he originally envisioned.

A few years ago, when Cen Xinrui, Shao Yishan, Que Rendong, and Ma Ping were sent to the countryside, Qu Jinbai was absorbed as a member of the nascent county revolutionary committee and was transferred to work in the big criticism group. For this arrangement, Qu Jinbai is undoubtedly very excited and full of confidence, like a chicken shot. But just when he thought that he must still have a lot of development and worked very hard, the county suddenly notified him to go back to No. 1 Middle School to accept the arrangement.

Am I not a member of the county revolutionary committee, so why do I have to go back to No. 1 Middle School? Qu Jinbai was very puzzled and dissatisfied with this notice. However, when Hong Daxuan, head of the office of the county revolutionary committee, who was in charge of the notification, told him in an official manner that he was only a representative of the masses in the county revolutionary committee, he was greatly deflated. What he didn't expect was that when he returned to the No. 1 Middle School with a full stomach full of complaints, the person who talked to him on behalf of the Revolutionary Committee was the person who served as the deputy director of the No. 1 Central Revolutionary Committee at the same time as him, that is, Li Yagui, who was once defeated by him and his comrades-in-arms.

"Qu Jinbai, what's the situation recently?" Sitting in the seat of the school's former vice principal's office, Li Yagui looked at the gray-faced former student in front of him, feeling a little happy in his heart.

"It's okay. Across the desk, Qu Jinbai, who was standing opposite him, said angrily.

"It's okay, that's good, isn't it?" Looking at the other party like this, Li Yagui sneered in his belly, thinking that you also have today. But he didn't want to be verbose with this former opponent, so he said directly: "The school has discussed with the county labor and personnel department, and since you have taken the lead in responding to the call from above, and you are still a member of the county revolutionary committee, it has been decided to officially assign you a job." ”

"Where are you going?" Hearing this, Qu Jinbai's eyes lit up: although he couldn't stay in the county revolutionary committee, he finally got a formal job, at least better than Cen Xinrui, Ma Ping, and Que Rendong who were sent to the countryside.

"Go to the winery. Li Yagui replied to him very succinctly.

"Go to the winery, are you responsible?" Qu Jinbai thought.

"No, it's a general worker, responsible for ingredients, mixing and moistening grain," Li Yagui corrected him quietly, "I can't tell you the specifics, the factory personnel unit will tell you after reporting there, and will arrange for the master to take you." ”

"What, general worker?" this was too unexpected for Qu Jinbai.

"What, don't want to?" Li Yagui had long expected Qu Jinbai's reaction after hearing the decision, but he still asked deliberately.

"Isn't there any other job that suits me?" asked Qu Jinbai patiently.

"I don't know about that, I'm just in charge of conveying it. Li Yagui opened the drawer, took out a report notice issued by the labor and personnel department, and pushed it from the table.

Actually, he didn't tell the truth. Just the day before yesterday, it was also in this office that the head of the county personnel and labor department discussed with him the whereabouts of Qu Jinbai and several other students who held positions in the county revolutionary committee.

According to the opinion of the labor and personnel department, Qu should be arranged in the preparatory office of the county water company, but he strongly advocated that Qu Jinbai be assigned to the unit that he considered to be the worst, and the reason why he could not say clearly was that this guy had done so much that his injured waist still hurt, especially when it was cloudy and rainy.

Of course, Qu Jinbai would not believe Li Yagui's words. But he had no choice at the moment, because the other party was no longer the "bad element" who was criticized at the beginning of the movement, but the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee of the newly born No. 1 Middle School, who was now not only sitting in the position that only the vice principal could sit in the past, but also being able to decide his own fate.

"Whether you want to go or not, you can figure it out for yourself. Li Yagui still said unhurriedly, but the threat was clearly highlighted in his words, "As far as I know, if you don't want to go, you can only transfer your relationship to the street and stay at home." ”

"Then go ahead. At present, Qu Jinbai has no choice but to accept this arrangement. He knew that this was Li Yagui taking revenge on himself, and he was very annoyed, but there was no evidence, and he was even more bitter that now was not the time.

"Well, that's what the organization wants. Li Jiagui said in response. But just as Qu Jinbai picked up the notice on the table and was about to go out, he suddenly said, "There is something else I want to ask you." ”

"What's the matter?" Hearing the other party say this, Qu Jinbai was a little vigilant, the confrontation just now made him feel that this guy in front of him was indeed very old and spicy as many people said, far from being shown back then, it seems that he can serve as a member of the school's general party branch and a third-grade class teacher for many years, not without reason.

"You know about the robbery of our school library. Li Yagui looked at him, and after a moment of silence, he asked unexpectedly.

"This, know some. Qu Jinbai wanted to deny it, but when he thought that there were too many people who knew about it, he couldn't hide it, so he could only admit it.

"Is it spontaneous or organized?" Li Yagui did not allow him time to think.

"I don't know. "Since the words were vague at the beginning, they can only continue to be vague.

"Many people say that you participated in the whole process of robbing books, can you not know?" Li Yagui did not allow him to deny, and said it very bluntly.

"Some people said I was involved in the whole process, and you want them to confront me. Seeing that Li Yagui did not show any mercy, and the situation was very clear, Qu Jinbai felt empty in his heart. But he knew that he couldn't admit it at the moment, and admitting it would be tantamount to holding the evidence for the other party, and he estimated that no one would expose him in person in the short term, so he decided to resist it.

"Really?" Li Yagui looked at him, thinking that this guy was really naughty, and he was not a louse on his bald head when he took the lead in snatching books-is it obvious, he actually dared to deny it. However, today he was just beating and knocking, which made him nervous, and when the evidence was collected, he would definitely clean him up. Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said, "You know what the situation is. I just want to tell you that the responsible person of the Revolutionary Committee of the county public security bureau said that the looting of books in the school library by No. 1 Middle School the year before last was not only a serious social incident, but also a heinous criminal case, and it must be investigated clearly and those involved, especially the leaders, should be punished as they deserve. If you do participate, take the initiative to make it clear and cooperate with the relevant departments. ”

"I didn't grab the book, and if you want to say that, I can't help it. Speaking of this, Qu Jinbai can only go all the way to the end. He thought, catch the traitor and catch the thief, as long as he handles the robbed books well, no one can do anything to himself.

In this way, Qu Jinbai carried the employment notice issued by the county labor and personnel department, and at the same time had the intention of disposing of the books as soon as possible, and in Li Yagui's extremely suspicious eyes, he walked out of the latter's office and hurried back to his home in Yahou Street, Lichuan County.

However, when he really arrived at home, he was worried: How to deal with so many books? I remember that when I got the books home from the school hut he occupied, I was busy for more than a month in installments and batches, and now it is not easy to deal with them all at once; not to mention that the books are all stamped with the collection seal of the Lichuan No. 1 Middle School Library, and others will be suspicious when they see it.

"Jinbai, are you going to move all these books?" Seeing her son standing on the ladder leaning against the attic, Qu Jinbai's mother asked Erxiu.

"I haven't figured out where to move yet. Qu Jinbai told the truth.

"Why haven't you thought about it yet? Hurry up and move. Xiang Erxiu couldn't wait for a long time, "Look, the floor slabs are all deformed, and if you don't move them, the attic will be crushed." ”

When his son brought back the big bag of books for the first time and told her that it was sent by the school, Xiang Erxiu was very happy, thinking to himself, this school is so good, not only there are books to read, but also books to be sent. But seeing that he moved back a large bag every once in a while, she was a little suspicious: she couldn't send so much.

Especially once I listened to Shao Yishan, who lived next door, chatting about the books in the library of No. 1 Middle School, and she understood what was going on with her son's constant moving books to the house, and then she became afraid. Although she doesn't have much cultural knowledge, she still understands the superficial truth, and knows that she can't take public things privately, and now her son has actually robbed so many school books back, isn't that a crime?

Seeing his mother urging vigorously at the bottom of the stairs, Qu Jinbai was also a little anxious: There is no place to move, don't move? If Li Yagui sends someone to search, it will be really a big trouble.

Just as he was staring at the gables, which were gray with age, and wondering what to do with the piles of books piled up in the little attic, the shouts of the collectors came from the alleyway outside.

By the way, simply sell these books as waste paper! Suddenly, this idea jumped into Qu Jinbai's mind. It's just that when I think of these books that I have managed to get my hands on, I am also frightened and afraid of them, and I am very reluctant.

"Have you thought about it," Seeing him standing on the ladder in a daze, Xiang Erxiu was puzzled, "Even if you don't move, you can't always stand on the ladder." ”

It's still sold, anyway, I'm not the material for reading, not to mention that I'm just a general worker in a winery in the future, and I don't need these Laoshzi anymore. Thinking of this, he stretched out his arm, picked up the two packs of books stacked on the side of the attic, put them on the ground, and said to Xiang Erxiu: "I have already thought about the place to move, so I will contact you, but there is something you have to do for me." ”

"What's the matter?" you say. The son promised to move the books out of the house, and Xiang Erxiu was very happy and agreed.

"You tore off all the stamps in the book, especially the cover. ”

"Tear it off too?" Xiang Erxiu picked up a copy and flipped through it, "How do you look at this missing page?" Although she hadn't read a book for a few days, she knew that a book with defects was not easy to read.

"If you tell you to tear it, you can tear it, what are you talking about?" Hearing her say this, Qu Jinbai became a little impatient.

"You rabbit cub, why do you lose your temper for no reason?" Seeing his son's sudden change of face, Xiang Erxiu was very puzzled. But she has always been arrogant to him, so she didn't take it to heart, but tore it up according to his request.

"Be careful, close the door," Qu Jinbai said as he walked down the ladder, "if someone comes, put the book away before opening the door." ”

"I know that," Xiang Erxiu agreed, but watched him pat the dust on his body from moving books and walked towards the house, so he asked again, "Where are you going?" ”

"Don't worry about it, I'll be back later. Qu Jinbai answered, and pulled the door tightly in his hand. Where are you going? He thought, where else can he go besides Qin Deli! I just wonder if this guy is still running his old business after he was released from the Strike Office.

Some time ago, I heard people in Yahou Street say that this guy was reselling food stamps and was arrested, and not many people saw his wife and children as a guarantor, and he would have been sent to the labor camp a long time ago. I hope he's still collecting the rags, lest he have to look for a place to go for these books at home.

But Qu Jinbai never thought that as soon as he went out and turned the corner of his house, he met Jiang Yizhen. Take a closer look, and along the way with her is Cen Xinrui's mother Zheng Wenshu.

After all, he did something bad, Qu Jinbai's heart was very weak, and he immediately turned around in the opposite direction.

"Stop!" Seeing this, Jiang Yizhen hurriedly stopped.

"Mother Jiang, are you calling me?" Qu Jinbai stood still and turned around slowly.

"Is there anyone else here?" Seeing this kid pretending, Jiang Yizhen was angry.

Qu Jinbai looked around: Sure enough, he and Jiang Yizhen and Zheng Wenshu are here.

"You called me something?" Qu Jinbai still pretended to be confused.

"You don't know the good things you did yourself?" Seeing him like this, Jiang Yizhen was very angry.

Looking at Jiang Yizhen's face deformed by anger, Qu Jinbai was a little scared. Although he hadn't dealt with her much, he knew how powerful she was, and he knew that he couldn't escape this time no matter what, so he said, "Say it, I'll listen." ”

"How long are you going to harm my family Chu Lan?" Jiang Yizhen didn't allow him to dodge, and asked directly.

"Mother Jiang, you be quiet. Qu Jinbai looked around and begged for mercy.

"You bastard, do you know to be quiet at this time?" Looking at the bastard in front of her who specializes in bad things, Jiang Yizhen hated her teeth so much that she could chop it with a knife in her hand at this time. When she thought of poor Chu Lan, her heart ached.
