Chen Bei failed on a blind date again, and his family was helpless against him, picking and choosing, high or low, all of them were in their early thirties, and if they didn't get married, the daylilies would be cold.

Xia Xiaoqing secretly said to Chen Zikun: "Aren't you in a hurry to hold your grandson as a father, if you want me to say, arrange a daughter-in-law for him, he will have to obey, and if he doesn't, he will follow." ”

Chen Zikun said: "My son's temper is up to you, much stronger than me, marriage is a lifelong thing, let him be." ”

Xia Xiaoqing didn't have a way, and said: "Your son has no wife, and his luck has been taken up by you, the father." ”

Chen Bei didn't want to continue to stay in the provincial capital, picked up simple luggage and went to work in Beitai, his family used to have a lot of money, where to go was either to take a plane or hang a special train, now he can only take a hard seat on the train, of course, with Chen Zikun's level, it is no problem to find a railway branch to arrange a soft sleeper, but he is very strict with his family and never takes advantage of the public.

Jiangbei United Machinery Company Party Committee how to place Chen Bei He spent a lot of thought, first of all, the level should correspond, but can not serve as a real position, because Chen Bei is not a management talent, and he is a pilot, there is no place in the machinery company, think about it, and finally assigned to the security section as the deputy chief, the machinery company is a large enterprise, the level is equivalent to the county regiment level, the security section is set up at the department level, Chen Bei is the deputy section chief is reasonable.

Chen Bei, the deputy section chief, does not have to be responsible for the specific work, he is also happy to be idle, every day is either to exercise or make airplane models, since he can't fly an airplane, make a model and enjoy it.

Every morning he will go to the morning exercise, rain or shine, there is a boulevard in the factory area, the female workers' dormitory is facing the road, such a tall and handsome young man appeared, naturally attracted the attention of the female workers, the new deputy section chief admired very much, but Chen Bei seems to be very detached from the masses, he is different from others, he lives in Jiangwan villa, there are motorcycles to and fro, all day long the head is shiny, the trousers are straight, when eating lunch, everyone gets together to eat and drink, he opens a small stove alone, drinks coffee and eats butter bread.

Others don't know the details of Chen Bei, but Ma Chunhua, secretary of the Youth League Committee, is very clear, she knows that this guy is Chen Zikun's son, the ace pilot of the Kuomintang, although he later rebelled, but he still can't change the style of the bourgeois young master, and we must be vigilant against this kind of person.

The Jiangbei Ironworks and the Jiangbei United Machinery Company are brother units, and the iron and steel produced by the ironworks are directly transported to the machinery company, causing guns and ammunition to be transported to the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea.

On this day, the two factories held another basketball game, the iron factory team against the machinery company team, and the venue was set up in the sports club of the machinery company.

This kind of amateur event, the level is generally not high, the two sides are not even unified jerseys, in the field of coaxing, a lively, iron factory team is a step ahead, even poured the machinery company team more than a dozen points, a large lead.

In 1948, the Kuomintang authorities held the National Games, and Chen Bei represented the Air Force in the National Games, with good results, so he naturally couldn't look down on this kind of amateur level.

In fact, there were a few athletes in the team, but they were conscripted into the army to resist US aggression and aid Korea, so the strength of the team was not as good as the iron factory team.

"You, okay?" The president of the union looked at his prosthetic leg worriedly.

"I'm shooting accurately, I'm big, I might be able to get a few points back when I go up, otherwise I'll lose more ugly." When Chen Bei said this, the chairman of the trade union had no choice but to agree.

Chen Bei played, wearing a vest and pants and leather shoes, and the temporary number "23" was written in chalk on the vest, and his appearance brought a turn for the mechanical company team.

In the old society, the poor did not have enough to eat, the children did not develop well, and the workers were generally short in stature, even if they were selected to join the factory basketball team, they were only in their early seventies, and Chen Bei inherited his parents' genes, and grew up eating steak milk in the United States when he was a teenager, and his height was fiercer than Chen Zikun, one meter eight or eight, and the altitude alone was enough to crush the other party.

Chen Bei's movements are agile and his shooting is accurate, as long as the ball is in his hand, he can shoot it into the basket across half of the basketball court, just kidding, he is one of the heirs of Cangzhou Yanzimen, and his secret weapon kung fu is croaking, and shooting a basket is a piece of cake.

The score quickly tied and gradually took the lead, and the iron factory basketball team divided two players to intercept Chen Bei, but no matter how they jumped, the height was still a little different, and the team member Lu Erxi couldn't help it, and hit it with one arm, and Chen Bei immediately fell to the ground.

The referee blows the whistle, and the ironworks team fouls!

The coach of the ironworks team protested, saying that the mechanical company team was changing players and looking for foreign help, which did not count.

The coach of the machinery company team was not convinced, saying that this was a person from our factory, and it would count.

Both sides were angry, dissatisfied with each other, and pushed up in the field, Chen Bei just got up and was kicked on the calf by a person from the ironworks team, and when he got down again, he pounced on each other with a hungry tiger, grabbed the other party and beat him violently.

A vicious battle unfolded, and the alternates joined the battle group one after another, but Chen Bei was the most brave in the fight, don't look at him lame a leg, but he was not affected in this kind of melee, not to mention his martial arts, even when he was a pilot, he also practiced every three or five dozen group fights, how could these ordinary workers be opponents.

The basketball game turned into a group fight, and the machinery company team defeated the other party because of Chen Bei's presence.

Ma Chunhua sat in the audience, her face turned blue with anger, this Chen Bei was too much, and the good game was turned into a group fight by him, destroying the unity of the two factories, and it was simply deliberately adding chaos to socialist production and construction.

Fortunately, there were still many production cadres in the arena, trying to stop the brawl, only Lu Erxi was still unrelenting, and pounced to hit Chen Bei, but he was stopped by the cadres in the middle and hugged him, but he was too aggressive, grabbed it, and tore it, Chen Bei's right leg pants were torn open, revealing an aluminum alloy prosthesis.

The audience fell silent.

The fact that Chen Bei is disabled is only known to some high-level cadres that he never publicizes it, and he usually wears pants when he walks and exercises, and he can't see it, who would have thought that such a tall and handsome young man would be a lame man.

Lu Erxi was dumbfounded, and he was at a loss for a while.

Chen Bei's face turned blue, he was very taboo to be seen with his prosthetic, he didn't want to be known that he was disabled, he didn't want to be treated specially, he didn't want to be taken care of.

In front of the public, Chen Bei turned his head and left, his silver-white prosthetic leg was so dazzling.

The game ended hastily, and the two sides went back to accept punishment.

Ma Chunhua is a middle-level cadre of the machinery company and a member of the party committee, and she solemnly proposed at the party committee of the machinery company that Chen Bei should be given a warning.

"Friendship first, competition second, is the fine tradition that our two factories have always maintained, as soon as Chen Bei came, he destroyed the unity and caused a very bad impact, so I propose to punish him."

The party secretary smiled and said, "Let's listen to the views of other comrades." ”

The chairman of the trade union said: "I don't think it's going to be on the line, they are all young people who are angry, and the basketball game is a high-intensity sport with physical contact, so it is inevitable to have conflicts, just criticize and educate it, and there is no need to punish it." ”

Ma Chunhua's eyebrows were upside down: "I don't agree with your statement, if everything is in harmony with the mud and follow the trend, how can you build socialism?" Chen Bei not only destroys unity, but also has a very problematic style of life! ”

The director of the Women's Federation, a middle-aged woman, immediately cheered up: "Oh, pony, tell me what's going on?" Did Chen Bei harass our female workers? ”

Ma Chunhua said: "That's not true, now it's the world of our proletariat, forgive him and don't have the guts, his life is not ordinary corruption, eating bread and butter and drinking coffee, wearing leather jackets, tweed pants, riding motorcycles to and from work, usually the head is smeared with half a catty of hair wax, and the slippery flies can't stand, such a person is a cadre, and the masses can't see it!" ”

Speaking of excitement, she slammed the table.

The atmosphere in the conference room was a little embarrassing, although Ma Chunhua was only the secretary of the Youth League Committee, and she was only in her twenties, but no one dared to underestimate her, this female comrade was born as a militia heroine, engaged in the party's underground work, and also served as the district head, everyone knows that Ma Chunhua will be the secretary of the party committee of the machinery company in the future, and the political outlook and revolutionary experience of the people are destined to this upward route.

Therefore, Ma Chunhua's opinion must be fully respected.

The chairman of the trade union played a round and said: "Xiaoma, don't be excited, although Comrade Chen Bei has some minor problems, but after all, he is a revolutionary comrade-in-arms, he also made sacrifices for the revolution, broke a leg, and also participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. ”

Ma Chunhua said: "You call him comrade? What kind of comrade is he? Is he a member of the party or a league member? He was a Kuomintang pilot, and I don't know how many comrades-in-arms were killed by the bombing! What's wrong with the uprising? Why didn't you revolt early, you can't get mixed up and think about the uprising, this is not an uprising, it's speculation! ”

The party secretary couldn't stand it anymore and tapped on the table: "Xiaoma, pay attention, the honor of the hero of the Chenbei Uprising was given by the central government and personally awarded by Premier Zhou, do you want to go against the central government?" ”

Ma Chunhua realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly changed her words: "I'm so angry, I don't choose what to say, I'll review." ”

The secretary of the party committee got off the donkey: "Your emotions are understandable, but now is not a war year after all, but a period of socialist construction, Chen Bei has mistakes and shortcomings, but we can't give up on him, we have to help him, save him, and give him a chance." ”

Everyone nodded and said that the secretary still has a high ideological realm.

Ma Chunhua didn't speak, but she was not convinced.

The secretary said: "Chen Bei is a young man in the end, and the Youth League Committee should be responsible for his ideological work. ”

Ma Chunhua was stunned: "What, me?" ”

The secretary said: "If you have any opinions, please raise your hands to vote." ”

Except for Ma Chunhua, everyone raised their hands.

The secretary said: "The organization unanimously decided that Ma Chunhua was responsible for helping Chen Bei progress, and just like that, the meeting was dismissed." ”

Until everyone walked out of the conference room, Ma Chunhua's wide mouth had not closed.
