Anyway, there are many rooms at home, Chen Bei lives alone, usually does not eat together, and goes to work every day, as soon as he arrives at the unit, he sees a group of people beating gongs and drums, it turns out that the Provincial Civil Aviation Administration came to send Chen Bei a pennant to commend him for his heroic behavior in protecting national property during the journey.
Chen Bei received the award for meritorious service, and the leaders of the unit also had a bright face, and discussed evaluating him as a model worker on May Day next year.
Winter goes to spring, it is already the early spring of 1953, Ma Chunhua's belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, some people say that they are pregnant with a boy, Chen Bei is looking at being a father, and his mood is like a day.
At the beginning of March, there was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Comrade Stalin, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, Generalissimo of the Soviet Union, and the great father of all mankind, suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and unfortunately passed away.
A grand and solemn memorial service was held all over the country to mourn Comrade Stalin, the 10,000-person memorial meeting on the square in Beijing was the most solemn and grand, the original portrait of Chairman Mao on the city gate was temporarily replaced by Stalin's posthumous portrait, and a black cloth banner was hung on it, and a line of vigorous characters was pasted: Comrade Stalin is immortal!
The party and state leaders wrapped their arms in black veils, with serious expressions, presided over the memorial meeting, and there were tens of thousands of people in the square, wearing white flowers on their chests, neatly lined up, the spring was cold, and their hearts were like knives, the cause of global liberation had not yet been completed, but Comrade Stalin had died, how could socialist construction be carried out, and how could communism still be realized.
Provincial capitals, northern Thailand, southern Thailand, organs, troops, enterprises and institutions, grassroots villages, as long as conditions permit, must set up meeting venues to mourn Comrade Stalin, the leader of all mankind, in the factory workshop, hanging statues, workers marching past in procession, bowing one by one, on the streets, the masses hold up Stalin's portrait and march silently, in the Xinhua bookstore, Comrade Stalin's works have been snapped up, even the rural fields are tied up with funeral sheds, wreaths, enshrined the portrait of Comrade Stalin, and the dolls under the age of one know to cry bitterly. Remembering the Great Father.
The auditorium of the United Machinery Company was arranged into a mourning hall, and the main responsible comrades of the party committee took turns to keep vigil, and the more active middle-level cadres were not far behind, and Ma Chunhua, secretary of the Youth League Committee, was supposed to come, but she was seven months pregnant and had difficulty moving, and was dissuaded by the Women's Federation, and Chen Bei, deputy chief of the security section, did not show up at all.
"Stalin is dead, do our bird business." Chen Bei said this to his good colleagues in private, in the hearts of ordinary people, the Soviet Union is as far away as paradise, Stalin is as noble as the Jade Emperor, and whether he dies or not has nothing to do with everyone is really not very big, but this is what Chen Bei dares to say, and others only dare to mumble in their hearts.
Yang Shugen, Secretary of the Party Committee of Kushuijing Township, went to Beitai City to purchase Stalin's works, and by the way, he came to see his old friend Chen Bei, and when he saw the rural area arranged by the Chen family, he couldn't help but smile knowingly: "Sister-in-law Chunhua is really good at running a house." ”
Chen Beidao: "The old lady is messing around, a good western-style building is the same as the landlord's house, don't worry about him, I'll get some wine and food, let's have a drink." ”
Yang Shugen hesitated: "During the national funeral, isn't this okay?" ”
Chen Beidao: "Mao, he died of him, let's drink ours, we can't quit drinking just because we died a ** who can't hit with eight poles." ”
Poplar Root sneered silently.
Chen Bei really took a bottle of Huaijiang Tequ, opened two boxes of canned American food, grabbed a handful of fried peanuts, and drank it with poplar roots.
After drinking two cups, Yang Shugen suddenly had an idea and said, "What do you say about Generalissimo Stalin?" ”
Chen Bei ate a peanut and said without hesitation: "It's not a thing." ”
Yang Shugen said: "Why do you say that, people say that he is the great father of all mankind, the head of the big family of our socialist country, and the leader of the whole world. ”
Chen Beidao: "He's a hanging hair!" Mongolia that robbed us, occupied our Lushun, sold us a lot of scraps left over from World War II to resist US aggression and aid Korea, tattered goods that can't be kicked with a gun bolt, tanks are all with bullet holes, and the planes are old-fashioned La-11, if it weren't for our country's arguments, he would be reluctant to take out the MiG-15, it's really stingy. ”
Yang Shugen said: "No matter what, Generalissimo Stalin led the world to defeat the German and Japanese fascists, which is an indelible feat." ”
Chen Beiyi pouted: "Mao! The victory of World War II relied on the Yankees, more than half of the world's munitions were produced by the United States, and even the Soviet Union's military uniform and leather boots locomotive were transported by the Americans with a shipload of free ships. ”
Yang Shugen blinked: "Why don't I know what you said, and it wasn't written in the book or newspaper?" ”
Chen Beidao: "Real history is not written in books. ”
Yang Shugen said: "Then why should I believe you." ”
Chen Beidao: "These things are well known in the world, but our government is unwilling to destroy Sino-Soviet relations, so we don't want to say it. ”
Yang Shugen still didn't stop: "Then how do you know?" ”
Chen Beidao: "My father personally participated in the Sino-Soviet negotiations, and he knows a lot of insiders. ”
Yang Shugen was happy in his heart, oh, and picked up his wine glass: "Drink one." ”
He deliberately said: "I didn't expect Generalissimo Stalin to be such a person, he was not kind to us, but he still had kindness to the Soviet people." ”
Chen Beidao: "Stalin is a ** thief, the fifteen members of the first Soviet, except for those who died of illness and old age, the rest were all shot by him, and the senior command personnel of the Red Army in the Great Purge were almost cleansed. ”
Yang Shugen said: "Chen Bei, you drank too much. ”
Chen Beidao: "I just drank two taels, why is it too much, forget it, don't mention him, talk about something else, when will you marry a daughter-in-law?" ”
Yang Shugen said: "I'm not in a hurry, I'm too busy with work to think about personal problems." ”
After chatting around for a while, most of the bottles of wine were drunk by Chen Bei, Yang Shugen was still awake, and when he returned to the sleeping room, he hurriedly took out his notebook and pen to record Chen Bei's reactionary remarks just now, and his hands were trembling because of excitement.
The next day, Yang Shugen came to the regional public security office, directly found Mai Ping, deputy director of the Political Department, and reported to him about this extraordinarily serious incident.
After reading the materials, Mai Ping's expression was extremely serious: "Chen Bei really said that? ”
Yang Shugen said: "I guarantee with the party spirit that every word is his original words." ”
Mai Ping said: "This case is quite serious, and it must be reported to the leaders of the prefectural party committee and administrative office immediately, and you come with me." ”
In the office of Ma Yunqing, secretary of the prefectural party committee, Yang Shugen made a detailed report to the leader, Secretary Ma frowned, paced back and forth, and suddenly waved his hand: "This is an extremely serious incident, in this special day when the people of the world are grief-stricken, there are people who frantically attack the great leader Comrade Stalin, is it unbearable!" It must be dealt with strictly, never tolerated, and whoever is involved will be investigated to the end! ”
Mai Ping puffed out his chest: "Yes!" ”
In the security department of the machinery company, there was a roar, two jeeps and four three-wheeled motorcycles were parked outside, and more than ten heavily armed public security policemen jumped out of the car, rushed into the office, and showed Chen Bei an arrest warrant: "Chen Bei, you are arrested!" ”
Chen Bei was surprised: "Why did you arrest me, what crime did I commit?" ”
The public security officer at the head showed his handcuffs: "Come back with us." ”
Chen Bei subconsciously pulled the drawer, and there was a Wuyi-style pistol in it, which was a matching gun for the security cadres.
Seeing this, colleagues from the security department held down the drawer to protect Chen Bei: "Section Chief Chen, don't mess around, just make it clear if you have something." ”
Chen Bei was stunned for a moment, realizing that he was reckless.
The public security officers took advantage of the situation to smash the handcuffs on his wrists, pulled them and left, and when Ma Chunhua heard the news, the police car had already gone away.
Ma Chunhua was anxious, she had been pregnant for seven months, and at this time the man was suddenly arrested, and the blow was conceivable, she immediately went to the regional public security department to ask for an explanation.
The comrades of the public security department told her that Chen Bei was the current **** who was rampantly attacking Comrade Stalin, and the prefectural committee had already determined that the case had been reported to the above, and that she could not be visited at present.
Ma Chunhua was anxious: "I'm his wife, he's *** I don't know, Chen Bei is a hero of the uprising, why did you arrest him, what evidence do you have!" ”
The public security comrade patiently explained: "We have conclusive evidence of the masses' reports. ”
Ma Chunhua said: "Who reported it?" I went to him to comment, how could I spew blood! ”
In the face of such a shrew, there was nothing to be done about the receiving comrades, and the head of the unit in charge of the pre-trial lost his temper and slapped the table: "This female comrade, if you make any more nonsense, I will arrest you too!" When the *** family is strict! ”
Ma Chunhua did not show weakness, and also slapped the table: "Arrest me, you can arrest me, I have beaten the Japanese devils, I have beaten the Jiang bandits, I have also been to the execution ground of the reactionaries, and I have also shaken the hand of Chief Liu Deng, are you still afraid of your regional public security department?" ”
Saying that, she simply took off her padded jacket, and the police were dumbfounded, what is the trouble of this pregnant woman?
Ma Chunhua continued to take off, the padded jacket was a small coat, turned her back and lifted it up, and it was shocking and full of scars, with bullet holes passed by bullets, as well as scars from leather whip marks and soldering irons.
"Say I'm *** family, open your dog eyes and take a good look!" Ma Chunhua shouted.
