The meeting place for the study of the Party's basic line and the integration of reality was set up in the five-room tiled house newly built by the captain, and the basic line was hung in the middle of the gable, and rows of male and female members participating in the study sat below.

"Yesterday, our party members and cadres went to the brigade to participate in the study of the 'party's basic line', and in accordance with the spirit of the instructions of the superiors, the study of the 'party's basic line' was held here today. The content of the party's basic line should not be relaxed in grasping the program of class struggle, and we should stress it year after year, month by month, every day, from time to time, year by day, every day, from time to time, from time to time, and with special attention, and only in this way can we constantly enhance our proletarian consciousness, consciously stand on the side of the revolutionary line headed by Chairman Mao, strike at the enemy steadily, accurately, and ruthlessly, destroy the enemy, seize the revolution, and promote production. So that the red country of our proletariat will never change color for thousands of generations! Qin Dahai first made a speech at the rich level.

The venue was silent, listening attentively and attentively, no one dared to desert, even if they went to the toilet to make it convenient, they had to raise their hands and say to Qin Dahai on the stage.

Qin Dahai felt dry mouth and hoarse voice after speaking, drank two sips of tea, and asked Xiong Meng to take everyone to learn the content of the "basic line" word by word, over and over again, deepen understanding and memory, and did not end the meeting until near noon.

"Brother Dahai, have you noticed, Huzi and Mingming graduated from high school and returned to the production team, these two can be regarded as the most cultured people in our village, your power is something that our brother fought for with great difficulty, but you must not be taken away by them! Don't you see how active and hard-working they are when they usually work, mixing with other members, in my opinion, it's a bit like Liu Bei throwing children in the Three Kingdoms - buying people's hearts and preparing for their future power. Xiong Meng invited Qin Dahai to his house for a drink.

"It's okay! Both of them are members of one of our families, and they will tear down my platform to the people of other families? The sky won't fall, don't worry about the sky, and that idleness! The world will always be the world of you, me, and Qin Lamb's little brother! Others can only listen to our command and follow our baton! Here, cheers! Qin Dahai said to Xiong Meng, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"Eat vegetables and press wine!" Xiong Meng let Qin Dahai go. "You'd better take precautions, are you prepared? They don't seem to be on the same page as us. ”

"Do you have any basis for this?" Qin Dahai put down his chopsticks and asked Xiong Meng.

"Nope."

"That's it. Don't be suspicious, scare yourself! ”

"Lin Biao wanted to seize power, but he didn't make it public first, but he was just working on the '571' project minutes behind his back, and my first feeling told me that these two children were not all the way with us. Have you forgotten that for the sake of Dongmei, when Secretary Zhang's young master Zhang Kuang wanted to return the bride price, Huzi also ran ahead, obviously although he didn't come forward, his resentful eyes stared at Zhang Kuang. ”

"That's to save face with the surname Qin, and it's completely different from who is in power!"

"It's better to be on guard."

"Don't worry, there is no big Lang in the ditch, and the boat can't be capsized, and their group of hairy boys who have not dried up their hair can't pose any threat to us, just with their unstable social foundation and ignorant interpersonal relationships, ants can't shake the big tree, praying mantis can't block the wheel, when the time comes, whoever is a foreign egg, I will cure whom!"

Xiong Meng helped the drunken Qin Dahai on the way home.

Young people always have such an irrepressible passion and enthusiasm. At the swearing-in meeting of the graduation ceremony, although Huzi and Ming Ming did not have the soldiers' letters of invitation to fight before departure and the determination to see death as home, the spirit of Dazhai people to change the world did encourage them and their classmates, and they were determined to live up to the party's expectations, return to their hometowns, return to their own production teams, and fight together with the poor middle peasants, and make their own contributions to changing the backward appearance of their hometowns and building a new socialist countryside. They are full of ideals, looking forward to the future, and weaving the blueprint of ideals with the singing of majestic mountains and rivers; They sang loudly with a fiery heart and burning passion, singing about their ideals and aspirations.

"My hometown is not beautiful, with low grass houses, bitter water, and small rivers that often dry up, attached to the village and around;

In a barren land, there is a meager harvest.

The busy yellow earth, the bitter well water that can't be drunk, I want to use my true love and sweat to turn you into a fertile ground and beautiful water!

The ground is also fertile, the water is beautiful, the ground is fertile, and the water is beautiful! ——”

After returning to the team after graduation, in addition to observing and learning the farm work that he was not familiar with, he worked hard to do the farm work arranged by the captain, tried his best to satisfy the captain, and had a good relationship with the masses. The captain thinks that the two of them are doing this with a purpose, a personal heroism; Some members think that they are doing things to please the cadres and make sycophants. Thankless efforts put them in a dilemma. "Don't be overly bookish and oversimplify a complex society." Society, is this society? They can't understand and can't accept this reality. They believe that there is nothing wrong with working, and there is nothing wrong with working more, and they only care about doing their own work, no matter what others say, go their own way, and let others say it!

One day at dinner, Aunt Zhang saw that her son was in a bad mood, so she asked: "Obviously, can you get used to the work in the countryside?" Is the work that your Uncle Dahai has arranged for you heavy? ”

"Born in the countryside and growing up in the countryside, what habits are not used to agricultural work! Isn't it just that when others go to work, you go to work, and when others finish work, you call it a day, and stay up for a while? If you want to do it, do more, if you don't want to do it, do less, anyway, it's the same! Qin Ming said to his mother.

"Stay up! If you want to do more, if you don't want to do less, do a good job? You've only been home for a few days, and you've been cheating like this? Can you get more food by working like you? "Aunt Zhang, who has always worked hard, was very disappointed when she heard Qin Ming say this." Didn't you say that Dazhai was done when you first came back? How is it such an unambitious thing! Learned like this so quickly? Tell me who you learned it from? ”

"I don't learn from anyone, I learn from myself. Let's work hard, the captain thinks I want to be in the limelight, show myself, establish my own image, and compete with him to be the captain. Some members are used to slipping, they don't have any consciousness at all, they don't do it themselves, they don't say it, others do it, he thinks you are flattering, it's a sycophant. Mother, my dear mother! Do you want me to quarrel with the captain, or with the members? Lag! Ignorant! Anyway, I can do as much as I can, and no one wants to offend! Qin Ming explained the situation to his mother frankly.

"Yes, don't quarrel with anyone, we can't afford to mess with anyone, do your job well, and no one will say that we are lazy. You and Huzi are educated, and you really stretch out your arms and work hard, maybe your Uncle Dahai really can't think about it, thinking that you want to squeeze him out of the captain? Anyway, a family member, he can get along with us, and try to maintain him. As for other people's gossip, don't care, it's good after a long time. Aunt Zhang said to her son.

"What logic! Do people from the same family have to defend it, and people from another family have to oppose it? It doesn't distinguish who is right and who is wrong? Uncle Dahai's assignment of work is not out of public interest, the people of our family always do light work, no wonder the people of the other two families have opinions, that is, I do heavy work and dirty work on my body and do not give more processing points, I also have opinions. Qin Ming said.

"Good! Obedient child! Let's not poke that hornet's nest and provoke the bees to be stung! If people can eat it, we can swallow it, and if people can tolerate it, we can bear it, your Uncle Changshun's Da Ling just can't get used to this, and he has a few words with Qin Dahai, but as a result, your Uncle Dahai pinched it and didn't reflect it to his superiors, and he was criticized for several fights, and he couldn't hold his head up to live now. The ancients said that there are marks in the car in front of you, but you can't take the old road of Daleng, so that your mother is afraid of you! Aunt Zhang said that she was afraid that her son would repeat the mistake of Da Ling.

"Mother, don't be afraid. Axiom is at ease in the hearts of the people, and in the world of *** leadership, there is a place for reason. He doesn't have me now, what am I touching him for? Qin Ming said.

"Son! Your Uncle Dahai has hands and eyes all over the sky, the brigade, the commune, and the county have backstage, it is a tree that cannot be defeated, you must avoid his black hand, otherwise, it will be more powerful than a seven-inch snake bite! Aunt Zhang reminded her son in shock. We can't afford to mess with us! ”

"Mother, you rest, I'll go to Huzi for a while." Qin Ming walked out.

Aunt Zhang fell asleep nervously.

Bidding farewell to the life of his student days and going to society, Huzi also has a lot of discomfort, not only the unpredictable changes in people's hearts and the cold state of the world, but even speaking Mandarin will be ridiculed, "Good, it's a pity that I didn't go to be an announcer if I said it so standardly!" ”

"Thinking about it, it's just no use. For the time being, I'll do farm work first, and then I'll talk about it when the old announcer retires! By the time I retire, you'll have learned pretty much the same. Huzi was joking with a few young people.

"You guy takes advantage of us, you retire, if we do it again, won't we become your successor?" A few people picked up Huzi and said, "I want to be Lao Tzu!" ”

"It's meant to be, how can you be able to do it if you want to? What should you call me? Huzi asked while standing.

"Call your uncle." Said a few people who caught up.

"Isn't that right, I'm the same generation as your father, you are juniors, isn't it natural for me to be Lao Tzu?" Huzi and several people whose elementary and junior high school classmates had already returned to their hometowns to participate in labor were full of childlike fun and fun.
