Ma Qingsheng kept his head silent since he got up, and the movement of getting up woke up his daughter-in-law Zhao Chunhua. Zhao Chunhua also had a gloomy face and lay on the bed. It's already February, and the factory is about to be fully operational. Ma Qingsheng is a demobilized soldier, and now he is the head of the security section of the Fengtai County Silk Reeling Factory, which can be regarded as a career establishment. It stands to reason that he shouldn't have been so depressed.

"I want you to follow me home and farm." Zhao Chunhua lay down for a while, and suddenly said.

Ma Qingsheng didn't say a word, first brushed his teeth, washed his face and tidied up his personal hygiene, and then prepared breakfast with his hands and feet. This is a habit that is cultivated in the army, and everyone in the army has to learn to organize their personal life. Even the cooking is done in turns. The field cooking class is a specialty, selected from among comrades who have excelled in cooking. Ma Qingsheng had no intention of joining the cooking class, and secondly, he did not have this talent. However, he can still make breakfast for the husband and wife.

"Did you hear that?" Zhao Chunhua shouted again.

"If you want to go home and farm, you go home and farm by yourself, I won't go back." Ma Qingsheng replied coldly.

"You ......, you have the ability to go to others, what to do to me?" Zhao Chunhua suddenly shouted.

Ma Qingsheng was suddenly furious, and he clenched his fists and stood up.

"You're going to hit me, aren't you? Then you fight, kill me! Zhao Chunhua was not afraid at all, she screamed.

Ma Qingsheng held back his anger and sat back on the stool, he beat his wife, and as a result, he was criticized several times by comrades from the Women's Federation. He also felt that it was not appropriate for him to beat his wife again, and finally Ma Qingchang breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in the house, "You give me home by yourself, I will never go back." ”

"I, I don't want to go home."

"If you can't go home, just find a good job and go to work honestly." Ma Qingsheng forced these words out of his throat.

Zhao Chunhua followed Ma Qingsheng into the city after Ma Qingsheng recovered. In the early days, the base areas recruited workers extensively, especially in the old base areas of Fengtai County, where all kinds of factories were set up early and recruited many people. But within two years, the high-performing workers were either hired as factory workers or signed short-term contracts. I go to work in the factory every time I am slack. Many of the unsuitable for factory work were gradually eliminated.

Needless to say, Ma Qingsheng is naturally capable of working in the security department of the silk reeling factory. Zhao Chunhua is not stupid, but she likes to show off too much on weekdays. changed a few jobs, although the competition is not one of the reasons, but the factory recruitment also has to go through the trade union, and every time the union votes by secret ballot, Zhao Chunhua loses. Officially recruited, Zhao Chunhua always couldn't pass.

Ma Qingsheng has personally experienced Zhao Chunhua's performance. During the few months of working in the silk reeling factory, no one did not know who Zhao Chunhua was. This may still be said to be "the shadow of a famous tree" in the township, but in the factory, every mistake of Zhao Chunhua is considered to be Ma Qingsheng's mistake. Ma Qingsheng couldn't bear such heavy pressure at all.

The nature of the country is easy to change, Zhao Chunhua changed a few units, and at first it may be more convergent, but it will not be too long before the "old disease recurs". This display is about to come to an end.

In the Fengtai County Silk Reeling Factory, there are already high-level silk reelers with a monthly income of eight yuan. Ma Qingsheng's monthly salary is only eight yuan. It's busy every day, and the bonus is only twelve dollars.

The workload of the senior silk reeler is less than that of Ma Qingsheng, who has seen people working when he was patrolling the factory. How fast the hands of the senior silk reelers are, and how accurate their eyesight is. These workers concentrate on their labors one by one. After the labor, people prepare their tools, pack up their equipment, and seize the time to rest. Ma Qingsheng didn't know much about these workers from his usual chats. The basic situation is still there, but more detailed family information can only be found by Ma Qingsheng when he goes to the personnel department.

Ma Qingsheng's own wife only has two yuan a month, but there is indeed a huge gap between "fame".

"Am I just stupid to do these jobs!" Zhao Chunhua suddenly sobbed and cried.

"Are you stupid?! You're just too good at showing off, and you're afraid that others won't know where you came from. Whose daughter-in-law came out like you? Ma Qingsheng roared angrily.

was yelled at by Ma Qingsheng, but Zhao Chunhua did not show weakness, "How did you become an official of the People's Party?" When people are officials and glorify their ancestors, and when they become officials of the People's Party, you don't say anything. The loss also says that women are emancipated! What exactly does this liberate? ”

Ma Qingsheng was originally still low and depressed, but when he heard this, his face immediately became stern. His voice trembled, "What nonsense are you talking to me?" ”

"When you become an official, you have to set an example! If you work hard for the People's Party and be killed, this is an example? Zhao Chunhua seems to have a lot of opinions about this.

Ma Qingsheng felt a throbbing on his body, and the whole person was a little frightened by these words. In the past two years, many people have been arrested in Anhui, and many people have been shot and killed after the public trial. However, quite a few of them are cadres of the People's Party. The judiciary and the People's House Committee strictly enforce discipline. And I am trying to complete the system. Ma Qingsheng became a cadre of the Ministry of Security, and he personally participated in the construction of the system.

"There will inevitably be management loopholes in the link that is operated by someone!" These are said to be the words of Chairman Chen. This theory has been repeatedly discussed in the study of system building.

Those who are in charge of ideological work, their mouths are just talking. Instead of saying they don't trust others, they use the phrase "what is called protection." It's about not giving others the opportunity to make mistakes. Without institutional management, no one can resist the temptation. In order to protect everyone's interests, we must improve the management system. ”

Ma Qingsheng has been caught stealing raw silk, stealing money, and stealing meal coupons. As a security department, it is to fight against this gang of people. Among the cadres of the People's Party, there are by no means only one or two who embezzle public funds. As the state-run factories grew in size, so did the number of such people.

Until he killed a lot of people, Ma Qingsheng felt that "not giving people a chance to make mistakes, this is protection" makes sense. If the management is strict, those people will try their best to get small things, and they will only be sentenced to a few years if they are caught. But if there is no management and there is too much corruption, there is only a dead end.

Zhao Chunhua actually dared to question anti-corruption! This frightened Ma Qingsheng.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ma Qingsheng asked in a trembling voice.

Zhao Chunhua was also angry, how could she not know that saying this would not do her the slightest benefit, and there were also workers in the factory who questioned the People's Party. Without the BJP doing it themselves, the workers spontaneously pulled out these people. Having worked in several factories, the union met every Thursday afternoon to discuss various issues with the workers. If someone scolds the BJP, the trade unions will discuss the reasons for these scolding of the BJP, and they may not necessarily think that what the workers say is wrong, and sometimes they will even adjust some of the practices of the factories.

But in Zhao's view, as long as factories refuse to recognize the status of officials' families, then there must be something wrong with these systems. It is a pity that the BJP still refuses to recognize the status of officials' families.

Seeing that Ma Qingsheng was scared enough, Zhao Chunhua also felt that she shouldn't have said it so directly, she hurriedly said: "I'm kidding!" ”

Ma Qingsheng didn't answer at all, he got up and put on his coat and strode out of the house.

The cold air outside made Ma Qingsheng feel refreshed, and the troubles at home seemed to be better. As long as he gets rid of annoying housework, Ma Qingsheng feels much better. These days, he doesn't want to go home. Zhao Chunhua blocked him all day long, and as soon as he said that Zhao Chunhua would return to his hometown, Zhao Chunhua asked Ma Qingsheng to go back together. And the action of forcibly sending Zhao Chunhua home, not only Ma Qingsheng's family refused, but Zhao Chunhua's family also refused.

In the village, Ma Qingsheng is already a figure. He was a soldier and worked in the city. Eating a public meal is an absolutely decent thing. The family thinks that Ma Qingsheng is a person who gives orders and has no worries. Ma Qingsheng should solve the troubles of others.

The attitude of the family made Ma Qingsheng even more annoyed.

As soon as he entered the factory, looking at the busy crowd, Ma Qingsheng felt that his troubles had subsided a lot. In the factory, all the work is just learning to cooperate and solve problems together, much like the military order system of the army.

As soon as he got to work, the factory director held a meeting of various departments. "Comrades, the organization has recently hoped to send a group of people from Anhui to work in other places. Do you have any willingness to work in other places? ”

"Where are you going?" The vast majority of the participants were gay men, and everyone was immediately interested.

"Go to Jiangxi to work and prepare for the silk reeling factory in Jiangxi." The director replied.

"Where is Jiangxi?" A comrade asked.

The director of the factory, who was also a political commissar, spread out a map of China on the table in his room according to the direction, and a group of people gathered around him to find the location of Jiangxi. The factory manager measured an approximate distance with a ruler and calculated the distance according to the scale on the map. The straight-line distance of nearly 1,000 miles made the comrades looking to the south gasp. Thousands of miles away from Fengtai County, you can feel an indescribable stimulation when you imagine it.

"Chairman Chen has just returned from Jiangxi, and it seems that the work in Jiangxi has been arranged. You don't have to worry either. The director said.

"Chairman Chen has returned to Anhui?" The news is still very fresh.

"Well, I've returned to Fengtai County. However, it is unclear how long they can stay in Fengtai County. ”

"Does the Party Central Committee really want to take Fengtai County away?"

"This has been decided a long time ago. But don't worry, our factory will definitely not move away. The director smiled.

Hearing this, the cadres fell silent. Whether Fengtai County is the capital or not does not affect the work of the silk reeling factory, but the loss of the status of the capital of the base area, every comrade feels a strong sense of loss.

It was Ma Qingsheng who broke the silence, "I want to go to Jiangxi." ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Ma Qingsheng's face. The factory director asked questioningly: "Chief Ma, are you really willing to go to Jiangxi?" ”

"Yes, I am willing to go to Jiangxi." Ma Qingsheng replied very simply. Finding a good opportunity to leave his family's troubles, Ma Qingsheng feels that this is not a bad thing.

At the whole meeting, two comrades finally signed up to work in Jiangxi. Some of the other comrades bluntly expressed their reluctance to leave their hometowns, while others said that they would consider it later.

The BJP was very efficient, and three days later, the organization issued a formal order. Ma Qingsheng first took his wife home under the pretext of going home to see. announced in public that he was going to obey the organization's orders to work in Jiangxi, and the people of the Ma family were not too surprised, when Ma Qingsheng was a soldier, he also went to other provinces. Moreover, in terms of organizational arrangements, this is not something that these people living in the countryside can figure out at all.

"And what about your daughter-in-law?" Ma Qingsheng's father asked.

"Stay at home and farm." This is also the best way Ma Qingsheng can think of to get rid of his wife's entanglement. Ma Qingsheng really didn't dare to keep the scourge of his wife by his side.

"Is this a promotion?" Ma Qingsheng's father asked excitedly.

"I was not promoted, and I still have my current position in Jiangxi." Ma Qingsheng replied.

"What are you going to do in Jiangxi?" Ma Qingsheng's father questioned.

"Organize the work, we just obey the order and listen to the command." Ma Qingsheng felt a headache. Many people around him are counting on Ma Qing to take care of his family more after he is promoted. Ma Qingsheng is not unwilling to do this, but this does involve a "clan" issue.

The BJP has always been anti-clan, at least propagandistic in the army. "The future China will be a China where everyone is equal, and clan oppression will never be allowed to exist." This has been the propaganda in the army. There are many government workers in Fengtai County, all of whom are young people, and they all have an attitude of opposition to the clan.

This opposition was not raised to a political point of view, but although the economic basis for the existence of the clans after the land reform was eliminated, there was no sign of being completely eliminated in the system of the old clans. At most, after the division of the fields, the contradiction between the "big and small sects" was eliminated. Everyone has their own way, and the big sects have no chance to bully the small ones. But Ma Qingsheng and these young people still have no place to speak in the clan.

The elders of the old-school clan felt that they were still the leaders of the clan, and they took everything for granted. For example, they asked Mr. Ma to give his family a few jobs a year in the factory, specifying that they would be the highest-paid workers.

This requirement is amazing, and the wages of the workers of the People's Party are based on technical assessment and production evaluation. In some industries, a diploma from a vocational school is required. For Ma Qingsheng, who was born in the army, this is really too commonplace. Before his retirement, Ma Qingsheng was a deputy platoon commander, and the army talked about the division of labor in specialties, and there was special training in each specialty. For example, in the position of machine gunner, it is impossible to pull a random person to come and shoot a machine gun until it is completely unavailable. If so, God knows exactly how many machine-gun bullets will have an effect.

But the clan is such an unreasonable thing, after Ma Qingsheng rejected the clan's request, the head of his family had already told Ma Qingsheng very implicitly that someone in the clan had already discussed whether to deprive Ma Qingsheng of his status as an ancestral hall in the future.

This news is even more ridiculous, Ma Qingsheng now even wants to get rid of his annoying wife, entering the ancestral hall according to the rules This is to donate money, if you don't go to this ancestral hall, Ma Qingsheng can still have a lot of money left. The patriarch of the clan had told Ma Qingsheng before that if he wanted to enter the ancestral hall to discuss matters, he would have to donate twenty yuan every year. This is equivalent to Ma Qingsheng's salary for two months. Ma Qingsheng immediately expressed his gratitude. As a result, it ended up with an evaluation of "not knowing how to lift". If you don't know how to lift, you can save money and avoid troubles, Ma Qingsheng feels that it is good not to deal with the clan for the rest of his life.

Zhao Chunhua knew Ma Qingsheng's thoughts better, and when she heard Ma Qingsheng say that she wanted to go to Jiangxi alone, Zhao Chunhua's eyes first widened, and then she shouted: "You, you dislike me!" ”

"It's an organizational arrangement!" Ma Qingsheng explained.

"Organizational arrangements? There are so many people, why are you arranged? Zhao Chunhua cried.

"I perform well at work, so naturally arrange me!"

"You just don't think I'm doing well!" Zhao Chunhua grabbed Ma Qingsheng and cried unrelentingly.

Ma Qingsheng's head is big, other people's wives are not so nonsense, why is his wife such a bastard? Ma Qingsheng joined the army relatively early, and when he was on guard duty at that time, he also met Chairman Chen Ke's wife, and after returning to the base area, he also met the wives of many other cadres. Other people's wives are all silent and well-behaved. I've never seen a guy like my wife who doesn't know the height of the sky.

"If you think you are doing well and the organization arranges for me to go to Jiangxi, you should support my work and farm at home honestly. You're making trouble with me, just you're doing well? Ma Qingsheng shouted.

"You are still reasonable, you said that who in the People's Party can't walk around like you?" Zhao Chunhua cried.

Ma Qingsheng shouted: "Up to Chairman Chen, down to the cadres and soldiers in the army, which one is not going around?" Chairman Chen's wife stayed in Fengtai County, and you have seen people come out to buy vegetables. Chairman Chen has been gone for more than a year and has not returned. If you want to bring your wife with you, if Chairman Chen wants to bring him, who would dare to say anything? There are so many cadres in the army, who goes out with their families? Who do you think I am? I, Ma Qingsheng, is nothing remarkable! ”

scolded his wife, Ma Qingsheng left his crying wife at home, went to the local government to go through the formalities, and left his wife's work registration in the township.

Ma Qingsheng's head is big, other people's wives are not so nonsense, why is his wife such a bastard? Ma Qingsheng joined the army relatively early, and when he was on guard duty at that time, he also met Chairman Chen Ke's wife, and after returning to the base area, he also met the wives of many other cadres. Other people's wives are all silent and well-behaved. I've never seen a guy like my wife who doesn't know the height of the sky.

"If you think you are doing well and the organization arranges for me to go to Jiangxi, you should support my work and farm at home honestly. You're making trouble with me, just you're doing well? Ma Qingsheng shouted.

You give me the honesty to stay at home
