The People's Government of Guqiao District is located in the courtyard of the original township government of Guqiao Township. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoSurrounded by a one-man high fence. In the courtyard, there is a gate on the south side, and there is a row of houses on the east, west, and north sides for office use. Facing the gate in the middle is an open space that is usually used for open-air meetings and events. The house is a brick structure. On the exterior walls of the house were plastered slogans about democratic reform, land reform, grain requisition, and banditry.

On this day, in the conference room, the task forces were holding a phased work summary meeting. The atmosphere in the conference room was very solemn, and there was a smell of gunpowder up and down. Liao Minghe, head of the Guqiao District People's Government, unceremoniously criticized some comrades of the task force after summing up the work.

"Some work teams did not fulfill the grain requisition targets according to the requirements of their superiors, and some comrades were so soft-hearted that they could not even receive grain. Comrades! I know that everyone is working hard and suffering, and I understand that. However, our PLA can't go hungry to suppress bandits, right? We government workers can't work hungry, can we? Our troops from Guangdong are going to pass through our Guangxi to destroy the remnants of the Kuomintang in the southwest, so they want to eat, right? And ye say, Is it possible to do without bread? Liao Minghe asked sternly.

Liao Minghe was a brigade leader of the former guerrilla brigade. In the past, when I was fighting guerrillas, I was injured in my foot, and it was not easy for me to walk. Now that he has suddenly become a district head of the people's government, it is indeed a test for him. He was most anxious about the current work of suppressing bandits and requisitioning grain. The bandits are becoming more and more suppressed, and the more they are requisitioning grain, the more difficult it is to collect, and the pressure on him is really great.

"District Chief! Can't we be blamed for not being able to harvest food? Zheng Lei, the leader of the task force who did not complete the task of requisitioning grain this time, argued unconvinced.

"Now that the government is short of money, there is no way to make a slip, and when the higher authorities allocate the money, we will return it to them, and explain it clearly to the people, they are still willing to take out the grain, but your work has not been done carefully."

"I feel that those bad elements who incite not to pay public grain will be closed up, and we will never be soft." Tian Yunchun, secretary of the district party committee and deputy head of the district, added.

Tian Yunchun, a former deputy company commander of the People's Liberation Army, a native of Shandong, served as secretary of the district party committee and deputy district head. Bold personality, straightforward and fast-talking.

Although Zheng Lei was on fire and couldn't get used to some problems in the process of requisitioning grain, he couldn't come up with a good solution. Alas! Lack of money, it is useless to say anything. The problem of money is not something that he or the district government can solve, "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice"!

"Time is tight, and the task is heavy. I ask you to collect the food for me as soon as possible, give me the bandits' guns, and bring them to the bandits' 'rehabilitation' class. Comrades! It doesn't matter if it's people or food, I want numbers, numbers, numbers, you know? ”

"Understood!" Comrades replied loudly.

"Besides, it's not that I don't want you to do ideological work, but on the contrary, ideological work should be strengthened. Meeting! ”

Everyone was in twos and threes, talking and dispersing.

"Comrade Qin Juhua stays." Liao Minghe beckoned to Qin Juhua, Qin Juhua stepped forward, Liao Minghe said: "Comrade Qin Juhua, you are pregnant, don't be too tired, do as much as you can, don't damage your body, then I can't explain to my old leader Brother Mo and Commissioner Mo!" Liao Minghe said with concern.

"District Chief, don't worry! We are all rural women, how can we be so delicate? Tough, it's okay! Chrysanthemum smiled faintly.

Chrysanthemum walked out of the conference room, just as Wu Ying, the leader of the women's labor team, walked by. Wu Ying put her arms around Chrysanthemum, and said as she walked: "Chrysanthemum, I have been to the countryside a lot recently, and I am very busy with work, you are pregnant, you must tell me if there is any situation, we are all women, women's affairs, men don't understand." You're 26 years old, aren't you? I'm a year older than you and I'm your sister. ”

"Okay! Sister Ying, I remember. Chrysanthemum said gratefully.

"How? It's been a long time since I've seen Brother Mo, right? Wu Ying asked with concern.

"We're both so busy that we're all getting rid of ghosts (dialects), so how can we have time to meet?" Chrysanthemum said. Indeed, she hadn't seen her husband for a long time. In the past, when guerrilla warfare was fought, the headquarters headquarters was in their own villages, and they could often be together. But after the liberation, after Mo Yun was transferred to work in the special office, there were so many counties around Longcheng to manage, and he was busy with work, and he couldn't leave, how could the opportunity to meet be so easy?

"When I'm done with this, I'll go and talk to the district chief, give you a few days off, and go to meet Brother Mo. Really! If you can't finish this work, you still have to live, don't you say? Wu Ying saw Chrysanthemum's embarrassed expression and comforted.

"I just have time to see him, and he doesn't necessarily have time to see me. Come on! Sister Ying, don't worry about me all the time, aren't you the same? There are still two children left in my hometown, and I can't see each other. Don't you want them? "Chrysanthemum's words can stab Wu Ying's fragile place, how can a mother not want to have children? Wu Ying's eyes turned red all of a sudden. Seeing this, Chrysanthemum hurriedly blamed herself and said, "Look at my mouth." Let's all work together to get through the tough times, and the days to come will be better. Originally, Wu Ying came to comfort and comfort the chrysanthemum, but I didn't expect it to become a chrysanthemum to comfort Wu Ying.

Wu Ying sighed that the more difficult times are, the more they can embody the pure comradeship of comrades who care for and love each other. Oh, yes! What do you call comrade? Like-minded people call comrades. Life and death, fate together, hardship together, fatigue together, charge together, advance and retreat together, laugh together, run in tears, care for each other, love each other, this is comrades-in-arms and comrades.

"Chrysanthemum, I heard that you are playing oil tea well. It's better to play oil tea tonight with the comrades of our women's labor team, which is lively and lively, and it can also reduce the suffering of our female comrades who are homesick! Wu Ying suggested.

"Wow! Sister Ying. Our sisters took this opportunity to get together, have fun with him, and relieve the pressure of work. What's this called......"

"It's called 'revolutionary optimism.'"

"That's right! It's called 'revolutionary optimism'. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, folded their arms, puffed out their chests, and walked forward.

In the evening, the dormitory of the women's labor team was very lively. The women's workers sat around the table, chatting with oil tea, laughing and funny, so unhappy, completely forgetting the pressure of the day's work. While everyone was talking to me, there was a knock at the door.

"Who?" Everyone fell silent all of a sudden.

"It's us, Lao Tian and Xiao Qi." The voices of two men came from the door.

"Open the door! It was the secretary and the captain of the district squadron. Wu Ying instructed Xiaomei.

The door opened, and two people came in. One is Tian Yunchun, secretary of the district party committee, and the other is Qi Xiaojun, the captain of the district squadron.

"Why are you here? Get out of your seat! Wu Ying greeted as she made room for the two. and pulled Xiaomei to sit next to Qi Xiaojun.
