Chapter 15 Candlelight Night Talk
"The urgent surname is appendicitis perforation, but fortunately it was delivered in time, and now there is no major matter."
Dean Qi walked out of the operating room slightly tired and announced the good news in public.
Liu Jun remembered the scenes he had seen in movies and television in his previous life, and couldn't help but be secretly funny. In the past, I always joked that the director had no new ideas, and he always made up such a broken line for the doctor, but now it seems that it really comes from real life. As soon as Dean Qi came out, he opened his mouth and said the same thing?
At the time of the operation on Sister Xiaoqing, Director Yan and Liu Jincai had already asked about the situation.
Liu Jin is a complete atheist, dare to touch the dark alone to disrupt the master in the grave, what he hates the most in Ping Yue is the guy who pretends to be a ghost, listening to Liu Ye describe the scene of his son and his master's fight, he can't help but dance with his eyebrows.
Director Yan's expression was even more exaggerated, and he even applauded: "Amazing, amazing, Jincai, you really gave birth to such a powerful son." ”
Liu Jincai said with a smile: "Director, if you don't like to praise a child like this, you want to praise him to the sky." ”
Okay, Dad!
Yoo Jun said in his heart.
It has only been a few days since he became an administrative cadre, and his speaking skills have improved again. According to Liu Jincai's surname, he must have made a joke about Yan Yucheng's topic in the past. At that time, it was a different unit from Yan Yu's composition, so it was okay to make a joke. Now that it is a relationship between superiors and subordinates, Yan Yucheng has the grace of knowing him, and it is a little inappropriate to joke openly and unabashedly. Proper humility is necessary.
The domestic officialdom has always taken this dignity and humility very seriously.
Liu Jincai called Yan Yu "director" instead of "director Yan", which is also very particular. It's both intimate and respectful. The difference between one word and one word is endless. These subtleties are exquisite, and no one will communicate with him in the future, it should be Liu Jincai who figured it out himself.
It seems that Liu Jincai in his previous life just lacked such an opportunity. Once the opportunity comes, Liu Jincai's performance is really remarkable.
Dean Qi announced that Xiaoqing was out of danger, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Qi Niang immediately took Liu Jun's hand and wiped away her tears. Liu Jun couldn't stand this, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Liu Jinping is a man after all, but he also knows how to explain the scene, and he thanked Dean Qi again and again, and bowed to Yan Yucheng. As for Liu Jincai, he is a brother from his own family, and it is redundant to say thank you. However, Liu Jinping was embarrassed to thank Liu Jincai, but transferred this meaning to Liu Jun.
"Speaking of which, this time it's really thanks to Xiaojun...... If it weren't for him, my Xiaoqing wouldn't be saved......"
Even drop god! Qi Niang's wiping tears is already uncomfortable, Qi Bo will make such a move again, and let people live? In an instant, Yoo Junjin had the urge to go berserk.
Alas, this showy hero also has to pay a price.
Seeing that the seventh uncle was chattering and boasting, Liu Jun had to look at Yan Yucheng for help.
I don't know if Yan Yucheng didn't understand what he meant, or deliberately teased him, ignoring Liu Jun's request for help, but intensified, and said with a smile: "Yes, Xiaojun has really made a great contribution this time." It is said that saving a person's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter. I think I should send you a grand prize. ”
Liu Jun immediately hated the future Xiangyang County Prince.
Okay, well, since you are so narrow, wait for me to splash you.
"Uncle is so stingy, he will give a certificate of merit for such a big achievement, what a coaxing child!"
"Huh?"
Yan Yucheng opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it.
"Tell me, then, what reward do you want?"
"I want a bonus!"
"Jun-chan, don't talk nonsense."
Liu Jincai suddenly lowered his face. It's nothing for a child to be lively and naughty, and when the timing is right, it's very pleasing. This one smells of copper, but it's completely different.
Yan Yucheng waved his hand to stop Liu Jincai, and the smile on his face did not decrease: "Then how much bonus do you want?" ”
Liu Jun turned to Dean Qi: "Dean, how much does Sister Xiaoqing's medical expenses cost?" ”
"This, I haven't calculated it carefully, the removal of the appendix is not a major operation, and the hospitalization and medical expenses for the next few days will add up to about forty yuan."
If you want to change places, Dean Qi won't look at a little kid like Liu Jun. In front of the two directors, it is not easy to get big.
"Okay, Uncle Yan, I'll ask for a bonus of forty yuan."
"Haha, Jincai, your son is really extraordinary. Little one, do you want us to waive your seventh uncle's medical bills? ”
Liu Jincai followed with a haha. It's not easy for him to express his stance on this matter, after all, he has to avoid suspicion.
"Yes, Uncle Yan, Uncle Qi's family has no money to treat Sister Xiaoqing. If you had money, you wouldn't have called that master to catch ghosts. ”
Yan Yucheng stopped smiling, looked at Liu Jun very seriously, nodded, turned to Liu Jincai and said: "Jincai, I think this matter should be grasped well, it has been so many years since the four olds were broken, and the rural members are still so superstitious, or else." ”
This was exactly what Liu Jincai wanted, and he nodded immediately: "Okay." Director, I think it is better to do a big rectification, arrest these masters and witches who pretend to be ghosts, and send them to the reservoir construction site to work, so that they can teach them a lesson, and publicize the necessary surnames of the four olds in the whole commune. ”
"Mmmm, that's a good idea, that's how it works."
Liu Jun was dumbfounded, and even said in his heart, Yan Yu was born to be an official, and with a single sentence, he put aside the matter of the forty yuan bonus and caught the master witch out of anger. If you want to blame him, forty yuan is not a small amount, equivalent to a month's salary. And there is also a lack of a name, and it is not just a matter of giving it casually, and this precedent cannot be opened. If every member of the commune were to be exempted from medical expenses when he was sick, he, the director of the commune, would not have had to play.
It's just that those masters and witches are suffering, and they have to be arrested to repair the reservoir for no reason.
At that time, the construction of water conservancy was led by the political axe, and the major teams contributed labor and calculated the work points, and there was no cash payment. This is still normal work, if it is the four types of elements in the major teams (the rich and the bad are evil), the second-rate people who have problems and bad deeds, every time at this time, they will be arrested into the study class and work on a voluntary basis, not only will they not be counted as work points. Even the food has to be brought by home.
This dictatorial method is very powerful. Otherwise, the director of the Revolutionary Committee of the Commune, an official at the head of the army, would have the prestige of a "hundred miles of marquis", and to use a vulgar phrase that can no longer be vulgar, it is "stomping on the mountain and shaking", these powerful dictatorial methods have contributed a lot.
Seeing Liu Jun's mouth flattened and angry, Yan Yucheng smiled and said, "Little guy, your lion opens your mouth, and your uncle is not as good as you want." Not only is there no bonus, but even the certificate is gone. Haha, miscalculated, right? ”
At the moment, he didn't wait for Liu Jun to say anything, and said to Dean Qi: "Old Qi, since the patient's family life is difficult, your health center will try to be more discounted, and if you can, you can avoid it." ”
Lao Qi is also a very discerning person, so he immediately laughed and said, "Director Yan gave instructions, and Lao Qi naturally complied, so you can rest assured." ”
……
Accommodation for each person will be arranged at the moment. Qi Niang stayed in the health center to take care of Xiaoqing, and adults such as Liu Jinping and Ruan Chenglin returned to Liujiashan overnight. The commune had only a three-room guest house, and they were reluctant to spend that unjust money. Anyway, ten miles is not far away. As for Liu Jun and the three children, naturally they couldn't go back at night, so they stayed in the commune.
Liu Hua studied in the commune middle school, and after Liu Jincai was transferred to the commune, he also arranged a dormitory for her. Liu Ye and Liu Yan squeezed a bed with Liu Hua. Fortunately, the weather is not too cold, and it can be done in one night.
Yoo Jun lives in his father's room.
As soon as he lay down on the bed, Yan Yucheng pushed open the door and walked in.
"Director, you've been tired all night, and you've worked hard, why haven't you rested?"
Liu Jincai was a little surprised.
"I can't sleep. Suo is looking for you to chat. ”
"Okay, well, I can't sleep either...... Director, you sit. ”
Director Yan sat down, glanced at Liu Jun, and said with a smile: "Forget it, Xiao Jun is also tired, he should have a good rest." ”
Liu Junyi turned over and sat up and said, "Uncle, I don't care." ”
Liu Jincai said, "You still have to study tomorrow." ”
Liu Jun pouted: "I read every day, I'm also tired, and I want to play for a day." ”
Thinking of Mr. Zhou's schedule, Liu Jincai suddenly felt extremely sympathetic to his son, and immediately nodded: "Okay, just play for a day." You go to bed first. ”
"Hmm."
As soon as Liu Jun closed his eyes, Liu Jincai took out a cigarette: "Director, smoke." ”
Dad, didn't you mean to fix people?
Yoo Jun screamed again in his heart.
It is important to know that in his previous life, he was a standard smoking gun, and he had to burn more than two packs of cigarettes a day. After being reborn, his body was no longer dependent on nicotine, but the wonderful smell of cigarettes was still enough to make his heart itch.
I was going to pretend to be asleep and eavesdrop on their chat, but now I can only close my eyes even harder, out of sight and out of mind.
Alas, God is also promoting narrowness, can't we go through a few years less? Even if it's only three or five years, catching up with the early eighties, when you're a teenager, wouldn't it be much more convenient to do many things? Even if you still can't swallow the clouds openly, at least eat a few more meals of meat every month. Give a guy seven or six years, and he is gluttonous and smoky, and the whole thing is pitiful!
Hey, didn't you mean chatting? Why didn't you say anything for a while?
Liu Jun opened his eyes curiously, only to see Yan Yucheng's serious expression, as if he was deeply worried, and Liu Jincai's expression was not easy.
"Alas...... Haven't all these four-person gangs been smashed, and how can the central government's policies not be adjusted? ”
Yan Yucheng took a deep puff of cigarette and spit it out with a sigh. Liu Jincai didn't know what Yan Yucheng was referring to, and he didn't know what he was talking about, so he just nodded.
"Let's talk about tonight, like your seventh brother, there are not a few members who don't have money to treat their children. I can't go on like this. ”
"Well, if we work hard every year and suffer poverty every year, if we don't vigorously develop production, we can't solve the fundamental problem after all."
"Yes, large collective production, eating big pot rice, working together and finishing work together, everyone grinds foreign workers. The collective has no accumulation, cannot be invested, the soil is getting poorer and poorer year by year, and the output will only get lower and lower! ”
"This is a dead knot, the central policy remains unchanged, and this dead knot cannot be untied."
Liu Jun sighed secretly. At that time, many grassroots cadres and even ordinary members were aware of the dangers of "big pot rice", but they could not do anything about it. He knew that it would not be until two years later, that is, at the end of 1978, that the 18 peasants in Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Anhui Province, would dare to defy the great power of the world and privately carry out the household responsibility system for the production of goods, thus opening the curtain on the reform and opening up of the rural areas in China. But now, it's too early. For such a fundamental policy, it is far from being shaken by grassroots cadres at the level of Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai. Rashly encouraging them to go to this minefield will definitely do more harm than good. When history proves them right, I am afraid that there will be no chance of a comeback.
Liu Jun pondered nervously, is there any way not to violate the current policies of the central government, but also to increase production and harvest, and to change the poor and backward face of his hometown to some extent? But even though he traveled back from the future, there was nothing he could do about such a thing.
"Let's wait a little longer, maybe the central policy will change soon."
Liu Jincai comforted Yan Yucheng and comforted himself.
"Hmm...... Seeing that the winter is about to end, several brigades in Shanbei are afraid that they will run out of food...... So, I'll go there tomorrow and take a look. No one will starve to death this year. ”
The area under the jurisdiction of Hongqi Commune is relatively large, and most of them are barren mountainous areas, especially in the north of the mountain. It is a real poor mountain and bad water, there are many people and little land, and the common people eat in the cracks of the stones all the year round. Even in the 21st century, the poverty of several villages in Shanbei is still shocking, and it can only be said that the problem of food and clothing has been barely solved.
Listening to Yan Yucheng's words, it seems that several brigades in Shanbei have starved to death in previous years.
"I'll go with you."
"No need. There must also be someone in charge of the house. ”
Liu Jincai smiled: "Isn't there still Director Zhang?" He's the second-in-command. ”
"Hey, he'......"
Yan Yucheng shook his head and didn't say any more. Although he is good friends with Liu Jincai, after all, he is unwilling to belittle his deputy in person.
Liu Jincai didn't say anything more, and said with a smile: "You can go with confidence, I will take care of things at home." ”
According to the internal division of labor under the leadership of the Revolutionary Committee, Liu Jincai is ranked after Director Zhang and is the third-in-command. But everyone knows that Liu Jincai is close to Director Yan, and he is a native of Hongqi Commune, but his prestige is above Director Zhang.
"Well, I'm relieved to have you at home. Rest early. ”
Yan Yucheng patted Liu Jincai's shoulder, got up and prepared to leave, and when he caught a glimpse of Liu Jun's greasy appearance, he knew that he was eavesdropping, and couldn't help but reach out and slap him, and scolded with a smile: "Little guy, people are big ghosts!" ”;
