Chapter 15 Helping to educate Chen Bei

Ma Chunhua felt that she had been plotted by the secretary, and sent one of her female comrades to help tutor the bourgeois young master, isn't it difficult for a strong man! She was angry and wanted to go to the municipal party committee to complain, but after thinking about it, if she couldn't even solve such a small problem, how could she be qualified to be the secretary of the Youth League Committee?

They deliberately give me problems and want to make me ugly, so I will do some work to convince them! Ma Chunhua clenched her fists and made up her mind to help Chen Bei to the end, so that he could be reborn and become a member of the proletariat.

Back in the single dormitory, Ma Chunhua didn't sleep all night, thinking about how to help educate Chen Bei, a playboy, she decided to start with ideological understanding, and spent two hours a day studying People's Daily, Huaijiang Daily and Jiangbei Daily.

The place of study has become a problem, the Youth League Committee and the Party Committee work together, there are many noisy people, and the office of the Security Section is also not suitable for people to come and go, and personal help is not suitable for this kind of thing to do in working time, so I can only use my spare time, Ma Chunhua has to go to the Teachers College in the morning to listen to lectures, and I have to be busy with work in the afternoon, so I can only wait until after work to find time, think about it, or study in my own dormitory.

The organization talked to Chen Bei, and sure enough, Chen Bei jumped at that time, saying that he would not accept Ma Chunhua's counseling and help, and the party secretary naturally had a trick and threatened to warn and punish him, Chen Bei was not afraid of punishment, but he didn't want his father and mother to lose face, so he had to give in the end.

After getting off work that day, Chen Bei, who was reluctant, followed Ma Chunhua to the women's dormitory, a group of female workers who were about to go out to take a bath held basins, towels and soaps, wore slippers, and looked around Chen Bei with their hair and laughing.

Ma Chunhua roared: "What to see, what to do, what to do." ”

The female workers giggled: "Sister Chunhua, help him well." All the smokers ran away, leaving behind a laugh like a silver bell.

Ma Chunhua's face was slightly red, but her complexion was dark and she couldn't see it, so she turned her head coldly: "Go upstairs." ”

The single dormitory of the secretary of the Communist Youth League Committee is not large, less than ten square houses, a marching bed, a desk, a bookshelf, as well as a basin rack and a rattan box, which are all the belongings, the portraits of Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu are pasted on the wall, and on the bookshelf are the textbooks of the Teachers College and some documents and magazines, the beds are very clean, and the quilts are stacked like tofu blocks.

"You sit." Ma Chunhua pointed to the chair, "Do you want to drink water?" ”

Without waiting for Chen Bei to answer, she picked up the hot water bottle, poured a full of boiling water from the enamel jar and handed it over.

Chen Bei looked around: "It's very clean, I don't know, I still think you're from a military background?" ”

Ma Chunhua said proudly: "I am indeed a soldier, I have been a militia captain, a reconnaissance platoon commander in Jiangzong, and later worked in the local area for a period of time. ”

Chen Beidao: "Not bad. Picking up the enamel jar, "So hot?" Do you all take 100 degrees of boiling water as a drink? ”

"It is a tradition of the army to drink boiled water, to avoid parasites and other diseases, like you exploiting class, you don't drink non-milk coffee, and some even bathe with milk!" Ma Chunhua became angry as she spoke, and snatched the enamel jar, "If you don't drink it, put it down for me, there are no high-end drinks to serve you here." ”

Chen Bei shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't mind, this style made Ma Chunhua even more disgusted.

Ma Chunhua took out today's newspaper and fell in front of Chen Bei: "Read the front page of today's People's Daily." ”

Chen Bei picked up the newspaper: "Decision on Streamlining Administration, Increasing Production and Economy, Opposing Corruption, Opposing Lang Fees, and Opposing Bureaucracy ......"

After reading it, his mouth was dry, but Ma Chunhua held the enamel jar in his hand and didn't give him anything to drink.

"Keep reading." Ma Chunhua handed over the Huaijiang Daily again.

"My mouth is dry, and I can't move." Chen Beidao.

"Then take a break."

After a pause, Chen Bei picked up the newspaper and said deliberately: "Secretary Ma, I don't know this word, you read it and I'll study it." ”

Ma Chunhua was very angry, but she was stupid when she grabbed the newspaper, because she knew very few words, except for her own name and the names of some common leaders and revolutionary terms, she could pronounce no more than a hundred words, as for the study at the Normal College, it was purely gilded, she couldn't understand the classes she attended, and dozing off was a common thing.

"Why am I reading it to you, it's your learning task." Ma Chunhua was no longer in the mood to continue today's study, so she threw all three newspapers to Chen Bei: "Take it back and study hard, write an eight-hundred-word experience, and hand it over to me tomorrow." ”

Chen Bei was also refreshed, picked up the newspaper and walked away.

The next day, Chen Bei came to the office of the Youth League Committee with a piece of paper and put it in front of Ma Chunhua: "This is my learning experience, 800 words is a lot, you can put it away." ”

Ma Chunhua looked at it, and the paper was full of foreign characters crawling like earthworms, and she didn't know any of them.

Chen Bei's learning experience was actually written in English! I don't know if this is bullying people, the machinery company originally had a few engineers studying abroad, but when the rebellion was suppressed, some were killed, some were reformed through labor, and the remaining technical backbones were all promoted by workers, and they didn't understand foreign languages, so they had nowhere to ask.

Ma Chunhua was furious, ran to the secretary angrily, and slapped her experience on the table, "Secretary Xu, you give a comment, Chen Bei is deliberately against learning." ”

The secretary looked at it: "Yo, it's written in English, Chen Bei is very knowledgeable, don't be angry, Xiaoma, this comrade Chen Bei grew up in the United States, and he may not be able to write Chinese characters." ”

"It's strange that I can't write, see how I clean him up." Ma Chunhua knew that the secretary was a good man, and he would not do anything to Chen Bei, so he grabbed the paper and hated it.

Ma Chunhua posted Chen Bei's learning experience on the factory propaganda board, and she wanted to mobilize the masses to criticize Chen Bei's bourgeois young master's style.

But not many people seem to care, because everyone doesn't know English and doesn't know what Chen Bei wrote.

Ma Chunhua stayed by the propaganda column for more than an hour, no one cared about this matter, she couldn't bear it anymore, and decided to mobilize the masses in person.

When passing by the assembly workshop, I saw a large number of people around the motor to watch, probably something was wrong, Ma Chunhua immediately stepped forward to watch, it turned out to be an imported Siemens motor broken, the technician of the mechanical and electrical department of the factory also came, still helpless, at this time it was Chen Bei of the security department with a wrench and a screwdriver in repair.

"That's it! Try it with power. Chen Bei waved his hand, the electrician closed the knife, the motor began to run again, the workers spontaneously applauded, someone handed Chen Bei a towel to wipe his sweat, he was covered in oil and dust, and his hands and face were also black oil stains, looking a little bit of a working-class brother.

"Can't be fooled by him!" Ma Chunhua admonished herself and said coldly: "Chen Bei, come back to my office for a while." "Turned around and walked away.

Everyone was stunned, and they didn't know why Secretary Ma of the Youth League Committee had such a deep contradiction with Chen Bei.

"Section Chief Chen, Secretary Ma is not bad, he is an old girl in his twenties, and he has not yet ...... This person is not suitable if he is not looking for a partner. A middle-aged worker said, eliciting a burst of good-natured laughter.

Chen Bei didn't take it seriously, wiped his hands clean, said hello to everyone and went back, without going to Ma Chunhua at all.

Ma Chunhua waited in the office for a long time, but did not see Chen Bei come to review herself, so she was very angry and went to the security department to find someone, Chen Bei was not there, and the comrade on duty said that Deputy Section Chief Chen and several colleagues from the security department went to the city to go to the restaurant.

The canteen of the machinery company only serves a large pot of rice, without small fried and alcohol, and the workers can only go to the small restaurant in the city to satisfy their hunger, but the wages of young workers are very low, so they can only fight for money and drink, and Chen Bei, as the deputy section chief, has a salary of more than 80 yuan per month, which is a lot more than others, so he often treats guests.

Colleagues came to the camphor restaurant by the river, ordered a few dishes, two bottles of liquor, and were drinking, when suddenly one said: "Section Chief Chen, the turtle grandsons of the ironworks are also there." ”

Sure enough, a group of young workers in the ironworks were also drinking at the camphor restaurant, and a few boys who played against Chen Bei in the basketball game some time ago were there!

The atmosphere was a little tense, and the colleagues quietly grabbed the wine bottle, pinched the bench legs, and prepared to start.

A person came over there, it was Lu Erxi, a young worker in the iron factory, who held a glass of wine and said generously: "I'll give a glass to the big man Chen, we heard that you are a hero from the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and we all admire you." ”

It turned out that it was not a fight, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Bei got up and drank it all, and said, "You're welcome, you sit." ”

Lu Erxi said: "What, don't sit down, it's almost time to go back to our food, you drink slowly." ”

The people from the iron factory left, and when it was time to settle the bill, the waiter said that the money for your wine and food had been settled.

"Who got it?"

"It's the guest at the table just now."

Chen Bei suddenly realized: "It turned out to be a buddy from the iron factory, yes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, and you have time to invite them to drink." ”

The colleagues were full of wine and food, each of them had a camel cigarette given by Chen Bei in their mouths, and they were walking out with their shoulders on their backs, only to see Ma Chunhua, secretary of the Youth League Committee, guarding the door like an iron tower.

"Chen Bei, I have something to talk to you about." Ma Chunhua Road.

Colleagues glanced at Chen Bei with pity, and quietly slipped away from Ma Chunhua one by one.

Ma Chunhua turned around and left: "Let's talk while walking." ”

was blocked, Chen Bei had no way out, so he had to follow behind Ma Chunhua.

Ma Chunhua was brewing a verbal criticism of Chen Bei, when suddenly a person rushed by, running faster than a rabbit, and shouted from behind: "Catch the thief!" ”

It turned out to be a thief! Ma Chunhua subconsciously pulled out a gun, but she is now the secretary of the Youth League Committee, how can she have a gun, saying that it is too late and that is fast, Chen Bei pulled out his leg and chased, his right leg was equipped with a prosthetic leg and could not run fast at all, grabbed the passing bicycle, lifted the owner off, jumped on the bicycle and pedaled away.

The thief ran very fast, and he could catch up with the speed of a 100-meter race, but his two legs couldn't run on two wheels after all, Chen Bei's prosthetic leg couldn't run, but he pedaled the bicycle quickly, quickly approaching the thief, and a tiger pounced on it and pressed the thief underneath.

The applause rang out, and the onlookers praised him for his agility and neatness.

Ma Chunhua and the owner also rushed over, tied up the thief, and without much effort, the public security officers arrived and took them all to the police station to make a record.

The thief was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, and the stolen goods were a piece of baked bread.

The police asked him why he was stealing, and he said he was hungry.

Why are you hungry? What about the family?

The family is gone.

After asking carefully, it turned out that the boy's father was a former Kuomintang officer, who was suppressed by the government, and his mother committed suicide by hanging herself, leaving the child alone.

The policemen looked at each other, revealing their expressions as they were.

The police handling the case were dealing with it, and Chen Bei asked, "What are you going to do with him?" ”

"Sent to re-education through labor, the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, the mouse child will make holes, and the family members should be sent to reform." The policeman said without raising his head.

Chen Beidao: "You can't do this, he is still a child, under the age of eighteen, how can he be re-educated through labor?" In this case, I will pay for him and be responsible for disciplining him. ”

The policeman stopped his pen and looked Chen Bei up and down: "Which unit are you from?" How to speak? Which end are you on? ”

Ma Chunhua interjected: "He is Comrade Chen Bei, deputy chief of the security section of the machinery company, and a pilot who came down from the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea. ”

The vigilant face of the class struggle of the police immediately became relaxed: "Oh, it turned out to be Section Chief Chen, sit down, drink tea, who is this female comrade?" ”

Chen Beidao: "This is Ma Chunhua, Secretary of the Youth League Committee of the Machinery Company, Sister Ma." ”

The police stood up and saluted: "Secretary Ma, welcome to our work guidance." ”
