We workers have power

We workers have power

Hey! We workers have power!

Busy with work every day,

Hey! Busy with work every day,

built into a tall building,

built a railway coal mine,

The world has changed!

On both sides of the road in the factory area are tall plane trees, with two loudspeakers hanging on the branches, and the music is majestic and powerful. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIt's afternoon time to get off work, and workers in blue and green clothes walk by on the road.

Xie Amei was wearing a blue cloth dress, and there was a chairman's portrait on her right chest.

"Aunt Xie, you are on the retirement list this time, and the trade union has decided that you will be the representative of the retired workers to speak at the conference, you go back and think about how to write the speech." Miss Xiao Chen, a trade union officer, caught up with her and said.

Xie Amei's face turned red all of a sudden: "Comrade Chen, I can't do it, I can write those words, or I just learned it in the literacy class when I was liberated, and I can't speak well, I can't do it." ”

"Oh, Aunt Xie, don't be modest, I heard the master say, you were still a legend back then, and you were not afraid in the Nanjing court."

Xie Amei was frightened when she heard this: "Comrade Chen, don't dare to say this, if someone hears that they want to trouble me, I will ...... After all, I've broken the law in the past. ”

Director Chen smiled: "Aunt Xie, what kind of crime are you calling it, you are the persecution of women in the old society, the oppression of the three mountains, you are a representative of women who have the courage to resist, this is something to be proud of!" ”

Xie Amei trembled in her heart, and in the Nanjing court, she was sentenced to six years in prison and sent to the No. 3 Prison in Suzhou, and the whole country was liberated before she finished the prison. The military management committee that took over the police system investigated her case, considered her to be a victim too, and gave her sentence reduced by two years, Xie Amei was soon released, Xie Amei had no relatives in Suzhou, and had nowhere to go after being released from prison, so she ran to the prison gate with her own small baggage and asked the prison to lock her up again. The military management will be ridiculous by her, so she can only temporarily arrange a room for her to live in, and send her to the street factory to work, at first just brush bottles, cans, and paste cardboard boxes, Xie Amei also studied the street literacy class, and learned to write some simple words. Life is gradually getting better, Xie Amei also has the upward momentum, just in time for the cotton mill to recruit workers, Xie Amei went to register, and was even admitted, so she worked as a worker in the cotton mill for more than ten years, and now she is about to turn 50 years old, her hair is gray, and she should retire.

Now Secretary Chen said that she was rebelling against the oppression of the three mountains of the old society, she knew the three mountains, and she always listened to people when she was in the reading club, listening to Secretary Chen's words, she suddenly remembered that Miss Su and Zeng Writer also said that she was rebelling against the patriarchal society, alas, just more than 20 years have passed, and I don't know what happened to Miss Su and Zeng Writer? The past events poured into front of her, Xie Amei was in a trance, listening to Director Chen nagging her for a long time and telling her how to write a speech and how to highlight the key points.

Xie Amei and Secretary Chen broke up at the factory gate and walked home alone.

Her home is in a small alley, a simple two-room house, which was assigned to her by the military management committee at the beginning, and the furnishings inside are simple but clean, Xie Amei cherishes her current life very much.

She was walking on the road, and Director Chen's words reminded her of all kinds of past events back then, and she was uneasy.

With a bang, a broom suddenly swept to her feet, and Xie Amei was startled and hurriedly retreated to the side.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, comrade, I'll wipe you clean."

The sweeper was wearing a tattered blue cloth coat and an army-green hat, hunched at the waist, and he should not be young, and a ring of gray hair could be seen around the hat.

The man squatted on the ground and wiped Xie Amei's shoes with his sleeve.

Xie Amei was most afraid of men's contact over the years, so she was so frightened that she jumped to the side.

At this time, someone next to him shouted: "Hey, old man Yang, are you lazy again?" ”

A young man with a red armband walked over, saw Xie Amei and asked, "Auntie, did he bully you?" Don't worry, this person is an unrepentant political prisoner, and if he dares to bully you, he will be given a taste of dictatorship. ”

Xie Amei was soft-hearted, worried that the old man who was sweeping the floor would be beaten, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said: "No, no, the little comrade works very hard, what bad things did he do?" ”

The young man with the red armband pursed his mouth, pointed to the sweeping old man who was bent down and bowed his head, and said: "He, before liberation, he was majestic, the judge of Shanghai!" Hmph, there are a lot of lawsuits on human life, yes, I heard that there was once a woman who was bullied by her husband to death, and the whole country was against it, that woman is our oppressed class sister, you say, this person is hateful. ”

When Xie Amei heard this, she chuckled in her heart: "It's hateful, it's so hateful." ”

"Yes, so he is here to atone for his sins now, Auntie, you are a working class, you see what work there is in the house, just ask him to do it, we have to reform his soul."

Xie Amei thought for a moment and said, "It's really a bit of work, so I'll ask this villain to help me do some work?" The young man swept the ground and shouted to the old man: "Do you hear, help this worker's aunt to work, don't cheat and play tricks, do a good job, you will have food when you come back!" Did you know? ”

The old man bent like a shrimp and nodded again and again.

Xie Amei took the old man to turn left and right, came to her house, opened the door, and the old man stood at the door with his head bowed and did not dare to go in.

Xie Amei whispered, "You are Judge Yang, right?" ”

When the old man heard this, he seemed to be electrocuted, his shoulders shook, he looked up at Xie Amei, and asked with cloudy eyes, "...... are you?"

At this time, Xie Amei was a typical worker's dress in this era, with blue clothes, white sleeves, short black hair, white temples, ruddy face, and fine lines around the corners of her eyes, which showed traces of time.

And Yang Mengsheng on the other side, dressed in tatters, with scars on his yellow, black and thin face, his hands are also black and dirty, holding a broom tightly, his eyes are timid, and he wants to stop talking.

"I'm Sister Xie."

"Sister Xie! Soy sauce kills people, Xie Amei! ”

Yang Mengsheng was extremely surprised, and his voice also raised.

"It's me, Judge Yang, I haven't seen you for more than 20 years."

Yang Mengsheng sighed: "At this time and that time, you can laugh at me now." ”

Xie Amei shook her head: "Everyone is an old acquaintance, I did cut Jiang Xueli, and later sentenced me to six years, I pleaded guilty, the grievances between you and me have long been dispersed, Judge Yang come in and drink some water, I see that you are also very hard to sweep the floor." ”

Only then did Yang Mengsheng put the broom in his hand in the corner of the wall and stood there, and followed Xie Amei in.

Xie Amei picked up the thermos and gave him hot water, Yang Mengsheng didn't care about the soup, so he drank it in one gulp and said, "I haven't drunk hot water for several years, it's so comfortable." ”

Xie Amei probably calculated, this Judge Yang is now an old man in his sixties, and it is indeed unbearable to drink cold water and eat cold rice every day, so she said: "Do you want to eat something, I'll cook you a bowl of noodles." ”

Yang Mengsheng was overjoyed, and then worried: "If they know about it, they will beat me." ”

"I won't tell anyone, don't worry." Xie Amei went to find the noodles, boiled the noodles, boiled the water, and beat two eggs into it.

Yang Mengsheng smelled the fragrance of eggs and closed his eyes, tears flashing in his eyes.
