Coming out of the May Day Printing House with the book number purchase contract, the excited look on Yang Weiping's face also infected Su Hongmei, but there was still a trace of worry in her eyes......

Yang Weiping, who was in a good mood, didn't feel the weight of the two hundred material papers he was carrying in his hands at all. All the way, I took Su Hongmei to the commercial area of the county by bus, bought a full set of drawing tools and other related stationery in the Jinnan County Department Store, and then went straight to the bazaar to charter a walk-behind tractor and drove away from the county.

The sunset is all over the sky, and the remnant sun is like blood.

In the hot mountain breeze, on the loess mountain road leading to Shangling Village, a four-horsepower Gongnong brand hand-held tractor marched towards the west entrance of Shangling Village at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour in the cheerful roar of "Tutututu".

Before arriving at the entrance of the village, Su Hongmei saw her mother Tian Cuifen standing under the hundred-year-old locust tree at the entrance of the village, walking back and forth, looking at the mountain road outside the village from time to time.

Thinking that last night must have made her mother anxious all night, Su Hongmei couldn't help but hold on to the frame, stood up and shouted loudly while waving her hand: "Mother! ”

Tian Cuifen, who was looking forward to it, couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard the voice, and hurriedly greeted the tractor, and asked anxiously as she walked, "Hongmei, have you seen your father?"

Su Hongmei greeted the tractor driver, and when the car stopped, she jumped out of the back compartment, held her mother's elbow, and replied as easily as possible with the smile on her face: "See, mother, my father is very good now, and Uncle Jiliang is taking care of him in the detention center, and he repeatedly told you not to worry, don't be in a hurry." ”

"Alas, how can it be good to stay in that kind of place!" Tian Cuifen sighed worriedly, turned her face to look at Yang Weiping, and barely squeezed out a wry smile, "Weiping, thank you so much, if it weren't for your help, we really don't know what to do." ”

"Aunt Tian, you're welcome. Captain Su is really good inside, he has been tired for so many years, so he will take a long vacation and rest for a while. Yang Weiping comforted and said: "The matter has come out, solving the problem is the most important thing, if you are in a hurry, then Captain Su will not be able to feel at ease inside." ”

"This person has been arrested by the police and put in the detention center, can you not be in a hurry?" Alas, ......" Tian Cuifen shook her head with a sad face, obviously taking Yang Weiping's words as a kind comfort.

"Aunt Tian, relax your heart, there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Hongmei, you go home with your mother first, you come to Zhiqing Point to find me in the evening, and I will go with you to see the tractor. Yang Weiping said as he motioned for the tractor driver to start, and slowly drove in the direction of Zhiqing Point, "When you are free, you go to the team headquarters compound to say hello to Uncle Luo, who is guarding the door." ”

"Uh-huh, thank you, Wei Ping. Su Hongmei waved at the tractor in the distance and said.

Seeing that the tractor was walking away, Tian Cuifen looked at Su Hongmei with a puzzled look in her eyes and asked, "Xiao Yang, can he still repair the tractor?"

Well, that's what he said, and listening to his tone, he seemed to be sure. Su Hongmei nodded and replied.

"If the tractor is repaired, the commune will not convict your father?" Tian Cuifen asked hopefully.

"If Director Wei in the county doesn't let go, my father's crime will still be there, but the sentence will be much lighter. Su Hongmei did not hide the truth from her mother, and replied with a worried look: "If the tractor is not repaired well, my father may be judged to be the current counter-revolutionary." ”

With the words "current anti-revolution" in her ears, Tian Cuifen was suddenly in a trance, and almost fainted to the ground, but fortunately, Su Hongmei saw the opportunity quickly and steadily supported her mother's crumbling body.

"How did it become the current counter-revolution? This is a great crime of killing the head......" Tian Cuifen cried out sadly, "If your father is gone, I won't live anymore......"...,

"Mother, mother, don't be like this, Wei Ping said that he would help repair the tractor, as long as the tractor is repaired, my father will definitely not be sentenced heavily. Su Hongmei's eyes were shining with tears, but she couldn't hold back and didn't come out, and comforted her mother with concern.

"He hasn't even driven a tractor, how can he repair a tractor, Meizi, why don't we go and beg Secretary Chen and let Secretary Chen help him say good things?" Tian Cuifen grabbed her daughter's arm tightly, as if grasping a life-saving straw.

Perhaps this may be the only way to do it at the moment. But if I go to Chen Jialiang, what should I do if he asks me to marry him?

Su Hongmei's heart was extremely confused, and tears couldn't help but overflow from the corners of her eyes.

"Mother, my father said, no matter what, I am not allowed to go to Chen Jialiang. Su Hongmei whispered sadly.

"Your father didn't expect to be beaten into a counter-revolution!" Tian Cuifen raised her hand and wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve, and said urgently: "But now that your father is in prison, maybe he may be shot, Meizi, that's Dad, you can't die without saving it!"

Hearing her mother say this, how could Su Hongmei think about it anymore, so she had to nod her head and say, "Mother, if Wei Ping can't repair well, I'll go and ask Chen Jialiang!"

"Uh-huh. Tian Cuifen stretched out her hand to gently help her daughter wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and comforted: "Meizi, now only you can save your father, in fact, Secretary Chen's conditions are very good in all aspects, if you really marry him, you will not suffer." ”

"Let's talk about it. Su Hongmei said quietly, a little dejected and walked home with her mother.

Night falls, and a bright moon hangs high.

Su Hongmei hurriedly finished dinner and went straight to the Zhiqing point.

In the courtyard, Yang Weiping, Zhou Yuanchao, He Guodong and others sat or stood, enjoying the shade and chatting.

Su Changgui was arrested, the former deputy captain Luo Jiefang took over the position of captain of the production team in Shangling Village, the so-called new official took office three fires, Captain Luo took office the first day, and did not see Yang Weiping when he checked the post, of course he was a little dissatisfied, and he had ordered Zhou Yuanchao to inform Yang Weiping that he must participate in the collective labor of the production team on time tomorrow.

Everyone saw that Yang Weiping had bought so much paper, pen and ink and drawing tools with his own money, and it was clear that he wanted to speed up the compilation of the review materials, so they were all thinking about how to deal with Captain Luo's three fires and cover for Yang Weiping.

It's just that if Luo Jiefang has to keep an eye on Yang Weiping, no matter how much the educated youth try to find a way to take the new production captain, they can't recruit him.

"Forget it, I still work on time these days, so as not to embarrass everyone. Yang Weiping saw that everyone had discussed fruitlessly, so he had to stand up and say: "If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and you don't have to worry about it these days, everyone is carrying the sedan chair, and Captain Luo is the new official, and the face that should be given still has to be given." After a while, he naturally won't be staring so closely. ”

Whether or not to participate in the collective labor of the team, Yang Weiping didn't take it very seriously, and now he was thinking about how to get Su Changgui off the hook. What you promised, you have to do it.

Yang Weiping is of course confident in eliminating the failure of the tractor, but how to make Director Wei of the county revolutionary committee relieved himself of responsibility has to be carefully pondered.

"Well, that's all there is to it. He Guodong nodded and said: "Now the wind is tight, and Captain Su's matter is on the line, which has caused the leaders of the commune and the county revolutionary committee to pay more attention to our village. Our production team has lagged behind other production teams in the task of summer grain harvesting, and this time can only make Wei Ping work harder. ”

"Hehe, it's not like I haven't worked, and I can't talk about any hard work. Yang Weiping smiled disapprerovingly: "Since Captain Luo wants to grasp the results, we all cooperate with him and work hard to complete the task of harvesting summer grain ahead of schedule." ”…,

"I'll see it!" Zhou Yuanchao said approvingly: "Let the leaders of the commune and the county see that everyone in our Shangling Village Educated Youth Point is a good worker, and everyone is an activist." ”

"Yes, let's work and study at the same time!" He Guodong said with a resolute gaze: "Everyone came out with the same spirit and energy when they first joined the queue and came to the countryside, and worked hard, who else should they be!"

"I agree!" Xu Hongjun raised his hand and shouted: "Complete the task of harvesting summer grain as soon as possible, and liberate Wei Ping from heavy farm work as soon as possible!"

"What Guo Dong said is right, we educated youths, if we really get serious, there will be no bad seed when we work!" Liu Haibo raised his hand to express his attitude.

At this time, Su Hongmei walked in from the courtyard gate with a flashlight.

"Everyone is here!" Su Hongmei saw that the courtyard was full of people, and said hello to everyone a little unexpectedly.

"Yo, Wei Ping, your daughter-in-law is coming to you. Liu Haibo said to Yang Weiping solemnly.

"Ha Luha, this is a daughter-in-law who cares, it's just different!" Xu Hongjun smiled half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Hehe, don't say it, Teacher Su and Wei Ping are indeed a good match, talented and beautiful, a natural pair. Song Xiangjing, who was among the female intellectuals, also made a joke.

The words of the educated youths suddenly made Su Hongmei blush, and she was a little embarrassed to go to Yang Weiping's house, standing there and walking, not leaving.

"Okay, okay, joke in a measured way, don't go too far. Seeing this, Yang Weiping hurriedly spoke up, "Hongmei, wait a minute, I'll go into the house and get something." ”

After speaking, Yang Weiping walked into the house quickly, came out with a lantern, reflexively locked the door, greeted He Guodong and Zhou Yuanchao, and left in a hurry with Su Hongmei.

Looking at the empty courtyard gate, Xu Hongjun suddenly asked, "You say, Wei Ping can really fix that tractor?"

"That's not exactly. Liu Haibo said thoughtfully: "However, with my understanding of Wei Ping's way of doing things, he doesn't seem to say or do things that he is not sure of." ”

"In my opinion, no matter whether it is repaired well or not, Yang Weiping can have this heart and do his part, and he is worthy of Su Hongmei. Song Xiangjing answered with a grin.

"Yes, it's good to have a heart. ”

"Maybe Yang Weiping can really do some miracles!"

"That is, I heard that Yang Weiping's parents are both senior engineers who studied in the Soviet Union, and they can even do rockets. ”

"Let's go to bed early, the work in the field tomorrow will not be light!" He Guodong waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse and go back to their respective houses.
