Dressed in a coat, holding an enamel teacup, looking at the newspaper. For Zhou Yuxing, the people's general representative of Huanghu Farm, this is the most stylish appearance he knows.

When he returned home from the field, the first thing Zhou Yuxing did was to start enjoying the satisfaction that this style brought to him.

Taking a sip of the semi-hot tea prepared by his wife, he sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed in his coat, looking at yesterday's "Agricultural Daily", this moment in the day is the most satisfying, comfortable and comfortable moment for Zhou Yuxing.

Zhou Yuxing is 46 years old. He is the accountant of the Yellow Lake Farm Cannery. His wife, Fan Xiulan, is a worker at the Huanghu Farm Feed Factory.

Of course, like most women in New China, Fan Xiulan in the past has always had only a very vague name of Zhou Fan. It was only after the establishment of Huanghu Farm that Zhou Fan gave the name Fan Xiulan with the help of the staff because of the need for household registration and ID cards.

Under normal circumstances, if a colleague in the feed factory calls the name Fan Xiulan, even when the salary is paid, Fan Xiulan will have three or five minutes to react that this is calling herself. But once everyone called out Zhou Fan's or the Zhou family's aunt, Fan Xiulan was able to respond as soon as possible.

Just as all people need to adapt to a new life that is completely different from the past, the eldest lady of the Zhou family also needs to have a process of adapting to her name.

But the same thing doesn't seem to be a problem for Zhou Yuxing. This forty-six-year-old (in this era) seems to have a quality of not being surprised at every turn.

When the Fuxing Army rushed into the Liu family's compound in Gushi County, almost all the people in the Liu family's compound were as panicked and desperate as if they had encountered the end of the world. Only Zhou Yuxing, who served as the bookkeeper at Mr. Liu's house, did not cry in despair like others.

In the chaos, he conscientiously sorted out all the account books of Mr. Liu's family, the largest household in Gushi County. When the cadres of the Baxing Army entered the room, they saw seventeen ledgers with neat handwriting and clear access.

In the face of the revival army with shiny bayonets and a rainbow of momentum, Zhou Yuxing did not show panic and despair. He used Fengyang official dialect with a strong Henan accent to clearly introduce his identity to the cadres of the Fuxing Army.

At the request of the cadres of the Fuxing Army, Zhou Yuxing calmly helped the Fuxing Army identify everyone in the entire Liu family compound.

After the incident, the cadres of the Fuxing Army checked the account books provided by Zhou Yuxing, determined all the personnel he had identified, and determined through the reports of the masses that Zhou Yuxing and all the housekeepers in the Liu family's compound were different, and there was no bullying behavior at all.

It wasn't until after four days that all the problems in the Liu family's compound were dealt with, that Zhou Yuxing calmly told the cadres of the Fuxing Army who had been working with him that his four sons were all working under the Fuxing Army.

Two years ago, when Runing Mansion suffered a catastrophe, it was at the request of Zhou Yuxing, who was the head of the family, that his wife and his four sons fled from Gushi County to Nanyang Mansion to join the Baath Party.

I have to admit that when the cadres of the Fuxing Army took over the letter from his eldest son, Zhou Dayong, a cadre of the Nanyang Regional Material Reserve Bureau, and the certificate issued by the Nanyang Material Reserve Bureau from Zhou Yuxing, who was in the hands of the old god, at that moment, he felt that this old man really had a little bit of Zhuge Kongming's taste of Zhuge Kongming who said in the commentary.

In the words of the Renaissance Army cadre, Comrade Zhou's calmness is really a quality that many Baaxing Party cadres do not have.

Knowledgeable and accurate, this is Zhou Yuxing, the 46-year-old accountant of the Huanghu Farm Canning Factory. Long before the Baath Party opened in the Xinyang area, relying on word of mouth, Zhou Yuxing judged that the Baath Party was a force that could be relied on.

After entering the newly established Huanghu Farm, Comrade Lao Zhou had the courage to forge ahead, and in one year, relying on his foundation in mathematics and writing, he first passed the equivalent academic ability examination to obtain a primary school diploma, and then passed the primary accounting qualification examination and obtained a primary accounting certificate.

In the Huanghu Farm, which has a total population of 34,000 people, Zhou Yuxing, a veteran comrade, is definitely a good comrade who does not lose to the self-motivated and progressive demands of young people.

It was precisely because of his broad knowledge, accurate vision, knowledge, and ability that he was elected as the chief representative of the Huanghu Farm People's Representative Committee with a high vote in the people's representative election held in 1634 among 34,000 people in four branches of the Huanghu Farm and seven farm-run enterprises.

In front of General Deputy Zhou Yuxing, the young field commanders and party secretaries who had been transferred from the army had to give in three points. After all, this old comrade's popularity on the farm is really too much. What's more, the good abacus he played also made the young accountants in the farm accounting office tremble.

What's more, as the general representative of the people of Huanghu Farm, Zhou Yuxing was the person who chatted with Wang Shuhui when he went to Xinyang for research. At that time, Zhou Yuxing, who also behaved appropriately in front of Wang Shuhui, stood out among a group of sincere and fearful people's representatives, but was praised by Wang Shuhui as "there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure".

However, unlike everyone's opinion, Zhou Yuxing himself has insisted on three words all his life: keep his duty!

In the past, when he was working as an accountant in a large landlord's house, Zhou Yuxing always only paid attention to the errands at hand, and never bullied others. Now that he has been elected as the general representative of the people of the Huanghu Farm every five years, he has always only listened carefully to everyone's ideas and then forwarded them to the farm party committee in their original form, and he has not regarded himself as a remarkable figure in the slightest.

It is by virtue of this duty and steadiness that Zhou Yuxing has become a good comrade admired and recognized by both the masses and cadres.

I drank all the tea in the enamel tea jar, and I just finished reading a four-open newspaper. Hearing the sound of his wife opening the door and entering the house after chatting with a few old ladies next door, Zhou Yuxing said to the kitchen:

"I heard a message from the field department just now, your nephew Baocai will come over tomorrow night. Let's clean up the fish that was distributed in the field yesterday. This year, the pork that was distributed during the May Festival was also taken out. Then go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy a bottle of new Xinyangchun. I don't need to prepare the tea, and I just sent this month's welfare tea to me today. The welfare tea of our primary accountant is jasmine tea, and it is good to drink this, and it is also dozens of yuan a pound on the market. ”

It was time to finish a cigarette, and Zhou Yuxing didn't hear the echo of his wife from the kitchen. Zhou Yuxing, who gradually frowned, said impatiently:

"This is to entertain your own nephew. Our Zhou family's nephews are all working in the three eastern provinces, is this a person who entertains our family, what's the matter? Entertain your own own nephew, do you have to be so stingy and reluctant? ”

Fan Xiulan, the eldest mother of the Zhou family, is from an old-school background. Although she didn't wrap her little feet, when she was in her mother's house, her parents' education for her was to treat her husband as a god. The four sons are all in other places, either going to work or going to school, and they don't go home once they haven't met for ten years, if the nephews of the Zhou family in the northeast come, Fan Xiulan, a warm-hearted person, will not be happy to entertain them.

But if this nephew is replaced by a child of her sister's family, Fan Xiulan is really reluctant to entertain.

After pursing her lips and taking the prepared stewed tofu from the kitchen to the table in the room, putting the bamboo basket containing the three-way noodle steamed buns, and setting up the dishes and chopsticks, Fan Xiulan changed the topic and said:

"This court is the same, how good it was when I ate in the cafeteria in the past. Everyone finished their meals in the cafeteria, and there was no need to prepare them at home. It saves us women a lot of housework. Why did it suddenly change to just one breakfast? ”

Hearing his wife talking about the court, Zhou Yuxing was unhappy again. He frowned and said to Fan Xiulan:

"The affairs of the court, is it something that a woman like you can discuss casually! If you women are the ones who give you a headache. What Confucius said is really reasonable, 'Only women and villains are difficult to raise.' If it is near, it is not inferior, and if it is far away, it is resentful. ’”

"In the past, when I ate in the canteen, the noisy cooks in the canteen were greedy for food expenses, and so many people were the ones who asked us people's representatives to check the accounts, and it was you women in the field! As a result, the people in the canteen were not greedy for a dime of food expenses! ”

"I personally participated in the audit. At that time, I calculated that the big pot of rice in the cafeteria was much cheaper than cooking at home. The result? After that audit, the people in the canteen stopped working! The imperial court also issued a new document, saying that whether the canteen is open or not can be decided according to the situation of each unit. It's good now, you women have made a fuss about the cheap canteen. ”

"Now that the food subsidy is paid to the person every month, you don't think it's cost-effective to cook at home, cook at home and work more, why didn't you say this at the beginning? Shut your mouth up now! ”

Seeing that her husband was unhappy, Fan Xiulan muttered two words such as "men and women are equal" and "women can hold up half the sky".

But in front of her husband, she still kept the old rules and didn't dare to really quarrel with her husband. Although women now have the women's federation in charge, women can also work to earn wages, so their waists have become stiffer. But because Zhou Yuxing has been accumulating prestige at home for a long time, there is no time when he is wrong in big things. So even though she is no longer afraid of her husband, Fan Xiulan still subconsciously doesn't want to refute her husband.

Of course, this also has something to do with Zhou Yuxing's almost no care about the small things at home. Fan Xiulan is very satisfied that she can completely control her family's expenses and housework, eat whatever she cooks, and wear whatever clothes she buys.

Carefully took a mouthful of stewed tofu and put it in his mouth, and carefully tasted the aroma of the stewed tofu in his mouth, Zhou Yuxing took advantage of this refreshing fragrance to drink a small sip of sweet potato roast in the cup. I finished eating a three-way noodle steamed bun in a big gulp. Zhou Yuxing recalled the satisfaction brought by "fine wine and food", and said to Fan Xiulan:

"Be content. When I was on an errand for Liu Laocai's family in the past, can our family live such a life? What kind of family in Gushi County can live in such a house? What kind of people in Gushi County can wear such clothes? What kind of people in Gushi County can eat and drink enough every day like we do now? When your nephew comes tomorrow, you can ask him if a small landlord like his family, who has 30 acres of land, can live such a life in the past? Can a small landlord like his family, who has 30 acres of land, live like this now? You have also lived to be in your forties, don't you understand the truth of being a man to be content? ”

Fan Xiulan was really unhappy when she heard this. She put the chopsticks heavily on the table and said to her wife:

"I'm mad when you mention this! Fortunately, the wine and meat entertained the white-eyed wolf! It's not bad if I don't beat him to death! When Sanya'er was sick, in order to borrow a few catties of white noodles from his family, how many good things did I say in front of my sister? How long have I begged in front of my brother-in-law? ”

"The result? It's just five catties of white flour, and now it's only sold for fifteen yuan in the supply and marketing cooperative, and their family obviously has it, but they don't lend it to us. In the end, he borrowed a loan shark from Liu Laocai's house to get five catties of white noodles to hire a doctor, but the result was still delayed, and a child as good as the three girls died of illness. ”

"You also asked me to prepare wine and meat for him, I am not like our secretary at the beginning, a handful of poison medicine kills the whole family of the dog, buy some rat medicine and kill their whole family, it's not bad!"

After saying this, Fan Xiulan sat on the edge of the table and began to cry loudly.

Just like all middle-aged and elderly rural women who have received literacy education but have not improved their overall quality, Fan Xiulan is not at all satisfied with complaining about grievances and crying in front of her husband alone.

She walked out of the room in a few steps, then sat down on the doorway, and attracted all the women on the first and second floors with a loud and medium-sized howl, and finally began to cry and cry about how her brother-in-law's family was the big bad guys in hell.

Zhou Yuxing didn't expect that after so many years, his wife still remembered this matter so clearly. As far as he is concerned, he has four or five children who have died young. But unlike a woman like Fan Xiulan, as a man who needs to bear the burden of supporting his family, Zhou Yuxing focused his main energy on how to earn enough rations for his living family in the first half of his life.

Zhou Yuxing saw his wife spilling, and he was originally ready to slap his wife's crying back for the first time. But when he thought of the imperial court's policy of equality between men and women, and when he thought of the women's federation's nest of sharp-mouthed female cadres, Zhou Yuxing sat back on the bed a little depressed, and let his wife cry outside.

As his wife recalled the hard days of the past one by one, Zhou Yuxing, who was still a little interested in his wife's nephew's upcoming visit, also became happy.

In particular, when I think of my wife and nephew coming to my house, it is very likely that because his family, as a private owner of land, has no organizational channels to buy materials from state-owned units, so he wants to buy fertilizers, pesticides, and fine seeds from the supply and marketing cooperatives through his connections. Zhou Yuxing, who also completely recalled the past when his brother-in-law's family was not saved in the past, became completely reluctant to do more.

Although in the past, every family had to die with several children, but when he thought of the daughter who died young, the chubby three girls who also left some impression on him, Zhou Yuxing didn't know why, and he actually had a sense of regret in his heart that he couldn't kick Liu Laocai with everyone when he was criticizing the fight.

The crying outside was getting louder.
