Volume II, Chapter 47

Wang Hongju pretended to be the son-in-law of Lin Nancai and his wife in Haitou Town, which made him feel embarrassed, and after he stayed for two days, he was anxious to return to Hainan Island, he ignored the retention of Lin Nancai and his wife, and Lin Meijiao said goodbye to Lin Meijiao and rushed to Hai'an Port to board the ferry across the Qiongzhou Strait.

Wang Hongju had a few days to go after returning to Qionghai Middle School, and although he had made up his mind to leave Hainan, he felt that he still had to stand on the last shift, so he calmed down to make a lesson plan for the next semester. On the first day of the new semester, the school's principal Han found Wang Hongju.

"Teacher Wang, recently there is a new leader of our county education bureau, tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the new semester of our school, he is going to come to inspect, and he will come to the school to listen to a class in a few days. I think your teaching level is the best in the whole school, I want you to give them a demonstration class, so that the leaders of the bureau know that the teaching level of our school is very high, what do you think? ”

"Oh, where is the former Director Hao in the county?"

"The old pedant who came out of the old education system was not suited to the educational line of our proletariat, and he was transferred from above."

Wang Hongju didn't understand this, "Director Hao studied teacher training when he was young, and he taught students all his life, I think he understands education!" ”

Principal Han said contemptuously: "His old-fashioned gadgets can't keep up with the development of the times at all!" ”

"Who is that new leader?"

"He is a demobilized cadre at the regimental level of the army, a northerner like you, surnamed Li." Principal Han picked up a document from the table and said, "This is a document issued by the County Education Bureau, there is nothing to keep secret, you can take a look!" ”

Wang Hongju took the document and looked at it curiously, but as soon as he read two lines, he couldn't read it anymore. It turned out that the name of the new leader -- Li Qiming -- was clearly written in black and white on this document. Seeing his name, Wang Hongju's head suddenly became bigger! He casually said, "It turned out to be him!" ”

"What, you know him?" Principal Han asked.

"Yes, he used to be the top leader of my army. It's such a small world, and I still haven't avoided him! Wang Hongju showed a sarcastic smile on his face, he didn't want to look at the document anymore, and "snapped" and slapped the paper on the table.

Principal Han looked at Wang Hongju puzzled, "Why do you have such an attitude towards the new leader?" ”

Wang Hongju said to Principal Han in an unquestionable tone: "This Li Qiming must not listen to my class, I am not in the mood to let him enter my classroom, you better change someone!" ”

"You don't carry out the arrangements of the school leaders, tell me, what the hell is going on?"

Wang Hongju laughed out loud, "It's really laughable that a person who is proud of being a big boss and looks down on intellectuals has become a leading cadre in charge of education!" ”

When President Han saw Wang Hongju describe the new leader like this, he was furious: "Wang Hongju, you are too arrogant! Is there anyone like you who insults the leader? ”

"I didn't insult him! That's just the way it is. You'll get to know him as you work with him. ”

"Wang Hongju, although you have been removed from the post of vice president, you are still a party member, and the appointment of the new leader is arranged by the party organization, and we should resolutely support it, and your cynicism towards Comrade Li Qiming is very wrong!"

"I'm just saying my opinion realistically, and it has nothing to do with party spirit and principles! Please tell me, how can he, a layman who does not understand education, be in charge of education? ”

"Don't look down on the workers and peasants, our party has the ability to manage and build New China! Comrade Wang Hongju, I remind you to pay attention to your words and deeds, you have already been punished once, and it will be very dangerous for your thinking to continue to develop like this! ”

Wang Hongju heard Principal Han say this, he suddenly realized that his performance today was too straightforward, he once again showed himself to others without any restrictions, he was going to leave here in the future, what are you doing with so many idle things? Why can't you learn to forbear? He regretted it a little. So although Wang Hongju was unconvinced, he didn't say anything anymore.

The next day is the beginning of the new school year, and the whole school holds an opening ceremony. Under the warm applause of all the teachers and students of the school, Li Qiming, as the new leader of the Education Bureau, strode onto a high platform in front of the school playground.

"Hello teachers and students!"

Li Qiming paused a little after greeting everyone, President Han, who was standing beside Li Qiming, smiled and applauded, and the audience once again burst into warm applause, and Li Qiming waved his arms and gave an impassioned speech under the attention of all teachers and students. Li Qiming, who has been engaged in political propaganda work in the army for many years, has not had a high level of education, but he is extremely eloquent, and his speech is extremely agitating and infectious.

"Students, I haven't studied, and when you were so old, I was being oppressed by the landlords and capitalists. Today you have books to read, this is the happiness brought to you by the party and Chairman Mao, you should cherish the opportunity to study! You are studying today to be good children of the party and Chairman Mao, to study hard revolutionary skills, to establish in your minds the revolutionary ideas of the proletariat, and to lay a good foundation for being the successors of the proletariat in the future! After he said these words, he paused again, and glanced at the audience with blazing eyes, Principal Han lost no time in applauding vigorously, and then the audience once again burst into warm applause!

Wang Hongju also applauded.

"All our work is in the service of proletarian politics, and although we have overthrown the three mountains that have pressed on the heads of the working people, the imperialists and reactionaries are not willing to accept their defeat, and they pin their hopes for restoration on our second and third generations, so our schools will not be a pure land, and our schools will also engage in the political leadership of the proletariat, so the burden on the shoulders of our educators is very heavy! We must not only teach and educate people, but also strengthen our own political study and ideological transformation......"

Wang Hongju listened to Li Qiming's speech very disapprovingly, he felt that Li Qiming was like a pre-war mobilization for the soldiers, not like a speech to teachers and students, except for shouting empty political slogans, there was no actual content at all, and it was even more wrong to say that the study of cultural knowledge was completely tied to proletarian politics, and he did not approve of such a person in charge of the field of education. Wang Hongju has an unruly character, he has a strong resistance to the layman's leadership, since he can't change this situation, his only way out is to quickly change the place, not to be a layman's subordinate.

At this time, Li Qiming became more and more excited, and he asked loudly: "Let us always be ready to contribute all our strength to the great cause of communism!" Students, are you ready? ”

"Always be ready!" The students of the school answered in unison, and their voices resounded throughout the campus.

This time, Li Qiming came to inspect the school, but Wang Hongju did not show up to contact him.

Wang Hongju did not talk to the leaders about his return to Beijing after returning to Hainan this time, and he wanted to tell President Han again at the end of this semester that he would stand on the last shift in Hainan. But a letter from Beijing changed his mind.

More than two months after Wang Hongju returned to Hainan, Cui Fengming sent him a letter from Beijing, in which Cui Fengming described in detail what happened to him and Chunxiu recently: Since Mrs. Su took Yonghe to make trouble at Cui Fengming's house, Cui Fengming's matter has been widely spread in the system.

Ignoring the principles of party spirit and not having the moral sentiments that a leading cadre should have, he was jealous for the sake of a capitalist's little wife, and this was the serious mistake made by Cui Fengming. The superior leaders have already characterized Cui Fengming's actions, no matter how Secretary Xue can't help him this time! Cui Fengming was first suspended from his job for introspection and inspection, and then he was transferred from his original work unit to be demoted, and he was transferred to the District Commercial Bureau as a small unit leader in charge of materials. Although Cui Fengming has resistance in his heart, this is the decision of the party organization, and he can only obey it unconditionally. However, he is also happy, that is, Chunxiu has officially gone through the divorce procedures in the court through friendly negotiation with Boss Su, and now she is Cui Fengming's wife. Yonghe, as the stepson of the Su family, was left to the Su family, which can be regarded as Chunxiu's repayment for the Su family's life-saving grace, and Cui Fengming has no opinion on this. Cui Fengming told Wang Hongju in the letter that he was going to have children with Chunxiu from now on, and he would not give up if he didn't give birth to three or four! Cui Fengming's letter was full of happiness, he said that although he had received an organizational punishment, he had the most important position in his heart when he was in Chunxiu, and he felt that it was worth losing everything for Chunxiu, even if he gnawed his nest and ate pickles for the rest of his life, he would have to stay with Chunxiu for life! Cui Fengming also said that he and Chunxiu did not have a formal wedding, and they had to wait for Wang Hongju and Huang Tingting to get married together. ……

"You kid let Chunxiu eat pickles with you for the rest of your life, it's strange to see that she doesn't divorce you!" Wang Hongju scolded with a smile and put down Cui Fengming's letter.

has a lover and eventually becomes a family, Wang Hongju is envious of Cui Fengming and Chunxiu in addition to blessings, he also remembered his marriage to Huang Tingting, and he felt a little like an arrow. At this time, he changed his previous idea of leaving after teaching this semester, and decided to propose to President Han that he would return to Beijing to work.
