Chapter 126: Compromise
Shi San's mood was very heavy, and his bedside ashtray was stuffed with Wan Yunbao's cigarette butt. He was reflecting on why this was the case among the workers. First of all, the attitude and method of handling the incident this time are very different from those in the past. In the movement organized by Shi San before, the attitude of the enemy was very strong without any difference, and he would never give in without a few bloody battles. It is precisely because of the sharpness of the contradictions that the workers are more likely to share the same hatred. But this time, the enemy used soft knives to disintegrate the workers, and their delicious and delicious hospitality was something Shi San did not expect. However, what makes Shi San sure is that this cannot be the aura of democracy, this can only be cramming before the persecution. Secondly, the question of the workers' leaders. If Wu Fen is really dragged by the enemy, the immediate problem will be the class problem at the leadership level of the workers' movement. Wu Fen was not born as a laborer, but rather a propertied man, and although he was highly sympathetic to the workers in his thoughts and willing to seek welfare for them, once the struggle became complicated, his own altars and jars would interfere with his will.
Lu Shuzhang led the workers into the house, and Wang Fubao was lying on a simple stretcher and was carried in by several people.
Shi San walked over with concern and held the stretcher and said, "Hurry up and put Brother Fukush on my bed." ”
Wang Fubao lay on the bed holding Shi San's hand.
Shi San complained, "You have an injury on your leg, so don't force it over!" ”
Wang Fubao shook his head, "I must attend this meeting." ”
Shi San beckoned the workers' representatives to sit down. "I've called you here today mainly to talk about our expanded meeting. You must know what is going on at the station. ”
One worker smiled and said, "These people are really different, they take care of four meals a day, they don't need money to eat, and many worker brothers tell me that this day is too beautiful." ”
"Yes! This is thanks to Representative Shi, if it weren't for the work that Representative Shi has done with us before, we wouldn't have been able to eat meat buns and stew. Another worker representative chimed in.
Shi San looked at Lu Shuzhang, Lu Shuzhang understood what he meant, and said to the workers, "The enemy's attitude towards us has softened this is just their delaying tactic, if we can't continue to hold the enlarged meeting in the future, use the power of the organization to negotiate with them, and fight for the interests of the workers, our future life will not be much stronger than now, and it may be worse!" ”
"I think it's almost enough, we can turn against these warlord capitalists, but what do our families eat? In the past few days, many brothers' families have run out of food, and we have only worked six hours a day in accordance with Representative Shi's instructions to maintain the basic operation of the railway. ”
"Yes, it's better to just get off the donkey. The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is snowing in some places in Hankou, so how can you survive this winter if you don't pay for it? Several workers chimed in.
Shi San lit the last cigarette in the cigarette case with a solemn face, and he saw that Wang Fubao had not spoken, so he asked, "Brother Fubao, what do you think?" ”
Wang Fubao shook his head, "What the brothers said is the truth, my daughter-in-law quarreled with me yesterday and took the child back to her parents' house, she said that if she continues like this, she will starve to death if she is not killed by the enemy." ”
Shi San didn't expect Wang Fubao to have this attitude, he didn't know how to deal with it, and the despair in his heart gradually deepened.
"I think we'd better wait for Chairman Wu to come and see what his opinion is?" Wang Fubao said to Lu Shuzhang.
"I'm coming!" Saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Wu Fen walked into Representative Shi's room. "Brothers, just now the envoy's subordinates came to me, and they said that as long as I can resume work, ensure the original working hours and salary, and I can eat four meals a day on the railway for free every day like today."
The workers' eyes lit up, "Really, Chairman Wu, you can eat big meat buns and stews every day?" ”
Wu Fen nodded excitedly.
Lu Shu was very angry, "Wu Fen, who told you to run to negotiate with them without consulting us?" ”
Wu Fen sighed, "You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, the situation in the brothers' family is so bitter, I don't fight for these benefits for everyone, how can you live?" ”
Lu Shu grabbed Wu Fen's collar, "Are the brothers holding an enlarged meeting just to eat a few meat buns a day?" ”
A few co-workers pulled the road out of relaxation.
Wang Fubao persuaded, "Brother Lu, don't be angry, Chairman Wu is also for our good, Chairman Wu, are they on this condition?" ”
Wu Fen straightened his collar, he looked at Shi San and said, "They hope that we will not hold an enlarged meeting, and even if we do, we can only hold a meeting of a small number of workers' representatives, which is their bottom line." ”
Everyone looked at Representative Shi, and Representative Shi looked at everyone and didn't speak for a long time. He knew that this campaign would come to an end here. The workers are well-off, compromised, and lack of organizational leadership is too deep.
Wu Fen saw that Representative Shi didn't speak, "Representative Shi doesn't speak, then I suggest that we raise our hands to vote, and if you agree to cooperate according to their conditions, please raise your hand." ”
Except for Representative Shi and Lu Shuzhang, everyone else raised their hands, Wang Fubao glanced at Shi San and Lu Shuzhang, and slowly raised his hands.
"Alright, that's it. A few of you have notified our brothers at various openings on the railway of our resolution, so that everyone can return to normal work order from now on. I'm going to talk to the people over there right now. Wu glanced at Lu Shu disdainfully, and left in a hurry.
Representative Shi rubbed his nose, then pulled out a bag from under the bed, and put the things that had been placed in the room in the past few days into the bag one by one.
Lu Shuzhang asked, "Representative Shi, what are you doing here?" Lu grabbed Shi San's arm, and Shi San shook Lu San's hand vigorously. It's time for me to leave, this place doesn't need me anymore. ”
The worker who saw Wu Fen off at the door returned to Wang Fubao's side, and he nodded at Wang Fubao.
Wang Fubao stretched out his hand and grabbed Representative Shi, "Representative Shi, why do you want to leave, aren't you holding a conference?" ”
Representative Shi said in a deep voice, "Didn't you finish it just now?" ”
Wang Fubao laughed loudly, "It's over, how do I think it's just the beginning!" ”
After Wang Fubao said this, the rest of the workers laughed in unison.
Shi San and Lu Shu glanced at each other in confusion, and the monk of Zhanger was confused.
