A turmoil ended, the Jiangbei Prefectural Committee compromised without any resistance, and made a deep introspection and review, of course, to the Provincial Party Committee, not to give in to Chen Zikun, in fact, Ma Yunqing did not intend to rely on Chen Bei's reactionary remarks to bring down his father, just to push the boat down the river to add some disgust to the enemy.

Chen Zikun took his son back to the provincial capital, and on the way he told him that Ma Chunhua took the train to the provincial capital to complain and gave birth on the railway, Chen Bei was silent for a long time.

When the car arrived in the provincial capital, Chen Bei immediately went to the railway hospital to visit his wife and children, and when he came to the door of the ** ward, he hesitated for a moment before pushing the door in, Ma Chunhua was lying on the hospital bed feeding the child, next to the nurse, maid, and mother-in-law Xia Xiaoqing, the corner of the ward was full of all kinds of gifts and nutritional products, and there were dozens of cans of high-grade refining ru made in Shanghai alone, and the tinplate cans were printed with colorful trademarks, which were very foreign.

Everyone saw Chen Bei come in, they stopped what they were doing, and their faces were surprised, Chen Bei, who had experienced a few days of prison life, did not suffer any crime, but he looked a little haggard without shaving, he stepped forward quickly, glanced at the child first, and then shouted very emotionally: "Chunhua, you have worked hard." ”

Although the two are married, they usually don't have a common language at all, they go to their own classes, they don't go home together after work, and they sleep in separate beds at night.

"You're here." Ma Chunhua said lightly, she pretended to be casual on the surface, but in fact, a stone fell to the ground in her heart.

"I'm here, it's okay." Chen Bei's nose was sour when he thought of Ma Chunhua picking up the train with a big belly, but there were so many people in the ward, he still couldn't hold back.

Seeing this, Xia Xiaoqing beckoned a group of people to avoid it, and there were only three of them left in the ward.

Chen Bei looked at the baby: "This child is quite pitiful, born three months prematurely. ”

Ma Chunhua said: "This child has a hard life, let me be, you can hug it, this is your offspring." ”

Chen Bei carefully held the baby, a little nervous, a little proud.

However, he soon found that the child did not follow himself, but his mother, with a collapsed nose, a round face, dark skin, and he didn't buy his own account, crying and kicking his little feet, and Ma Chunhua was quiet as soon as he took it.

Suddenly there was a noise outside, it was Chen Zikun accompanied by the hospital leaders to see his grandson, the ward was soon filled with people, fortunately, Chen Zikun did not stay for too long, just briefly looked at the baby, comforted his daughter-in-law and left, Chen Bei sent to the corridor, Chen Zikun said to his son: "I heard the doctor say that if it is not for the strong physique of the mother, the child will be dangerous, Chunhua has a great merit, you have to reward him." ”

Chen Bei scratched his head and said, "I'll think about it." ”

……

Ma Chunhua's mother and son were observed in the hospital for a week, and finally discharged, moved to the Fenglin Road Mansion to live, the family vacated the largest bedroom on the second floor for Ma Chunhua's mother and son to rest, and there was a baby incubator imported from Hong Kong in the room, which was specially prepared by the grandfather, although it is now spring, it is not possible to use this thing, but at least it shows Chen Zikun's intentions.

Chen Bei didn't know what Ma Chunhua liked at all, in his impression, this country girl had no culture and no interest, except for farming and feeding pigs, she was doing revolution, she didn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she didn't know much, she didn't know much, it was really difficult to give any gifts, thinking about it, he finally thought of one thing, and Ma Chunhua would like it.

So, a beautiful hardwood box was sent to Ma Chunhua, and Chen Bei said: "Chunhua, thank you for giving me a son, this is what I gave you." ”

Ma Chunhua glanced at it and said disdainfully: "It's gold and silver jewelry again, I'm not rare to see those things." ”

This reaction was already expected, Chen Bei smiled and said, "You can open it and take a look." ”

Ma Chunhua opened the box, and a small silver pistol shone on the blue velvet background.

"Guns!" A spark came out of Ma Chunhua's pupils, grabbed the pistol, skillfully removed the magazine, opened the sleeve to make sure that there was no bullet in the chamber, pulled the bolt with a bang, and sighed: "German seven, six, five, a good gun is a good gun, but it is too small, I prefer two boxes." ”

Chen Beidao: "You are quite eye-catching, this is a German-made PPK, chrome-plated, much more advanced than the second box, General Zhang Xueliang gave it to me back then, and now I will transfer it to you." ”

Ma Chunhua played with the pistol and couldn't put it down: "This gun is really good, it was given by the patriotic general Zhang Xueliang, it is meaningful!" What, really give it to me? ”

Chen Beidao: "Of course it's true. ”

Ma Chunhua lifted the quilt and wanted to get up: "Let's go, shoot the target." ”

Chen Beidao: "But we have to wait for you to get out of confinement, let's go to the river to practice guns." ”

Ma Chunhua nodded and continued to play with the pistol.

Chen Beidao: "It's time for the child to come up with a name, my father has been checking the dictionary for the past two days." ”

Ma Chunhua said: "According to our rural exquisiteness, a cheap name can bless a long life, I think it's called Mao Dan." ”

Chen Beidao: "What kind of dog hairy eggs, it's too ugly." ”

Ma Chunhua glared: "The child I gave birth to can be called whatever you want." ”

So, the third generation of the Chen family has a very down-to-earth nickname, called Mao Dan, no one in the family dares to object, Ma Chunhua is now the great hero of the Chen family, the mother is expensive by virtue of her son, and her status is like the sky, what is it to say.

After a month, Ma Chunhua suddenly said to Chen Bei: "I want to wean MaoDan and go back to Beitai to work." ”

Chen Bei was shocked: "Weaning now!" It's too fast, there's nothing big in the factory, you don't care about production, maternity leave is still early, why are you in such a hurry to go back to the factory? ”

Ma Chunhua handed over a copy of Huaijiang Daily: "You really don't care about national affairs, our first five-year plan of New China has begun, and there are two key projects aided by the Soviet Union in North Thailand, one of which is a modern machinery factory expanded on the basis of our machinery company, everyone is busy building socialism, can I still feed my children here?" Besides, although the Youth League Committee does not care about production, is the ideological and political work of the young workers not the guarantee of productive forces? ”

Chen Bei knows his daughter-in-law very well, work first and everything last, and the eight cows can't pull back the things he recognizes, so he has to compromise: "Okay, let's go back to Beitai, the child stays in the provincial capital, and the grandparents take care of it." ”

Ma Chunhua said: "That's not good, I'll take care of my child!" ”

This move was naturally unanimously opposed by the Chen family, although Ma Chunhua was spicy and reckless on the surface, in fact, she was very cunning of a farmer, she knew that it was not good to come to the light, and she had to come to the dark.

The child is full moon, Chen Zikun, who is a grandfather, naturally wants to celebrate with wine, and invited hundreds of tables in the largest restaurant in the provincial capital, and the best tobacco, alcohol and dishes are used, it is said that someone reported afterwards, saying that the country is still poor and white Chen Zikun is eating and drinking like this, not worthy of being a national cadre, the report letter was suppressed, Zheng Zeru said that our party should tolerate the bad habits of life that these ** parties have cultivated for many years, and cannot expect everyone to be as strict as the first member.

Chen Zikun became a grandfather in his early fifties, which is late compared to others, Chen Shougai, Longquan, Yan Su and others' grandsons can make soy sauce, and all the old departments come to the banquet, and the wine is happy, and the wine is over three rounds, Chen Zikun asked people to take the child out for everyone to see, Xia Xiaoqing went out for a while, and when she came back, her expression was a little wrong, and she said in a low voice: "Chunhua took the child away." ”

"Play the piano!" Chen Zikun was very angry, but he couldn't get angry in front of so many guests, so he could only use the excuse that the child was too weak to come to a crowded place, and everyone knew that the child was born prematurely, so they didn't say anything.

Ma Chunhua is still quite jealous of her father-in-law, so she picked an opportunity when everyone was not at home, quietly left the Fenglin Road mansion with Maodan, went to the train station to play a hard seat ticket, sat on the train, looked at the farmland and cottages outside the window, her mood was particularly comfortable, no matter how gorgeous the lawn and tennis court swimming pool on Fenglin Road were, it was not as good as the farmland and threshing floor.

Back to Beitai, Ma Chunhua returned to the machinery company non-stop, the factory is holding a swearing-in mobilization meeting, the selection of young commandos, suddenly saw the secretary of the Youth League Ma Chunhua on the stage with a baby, facing everyone: "The factory is engaged in construction, the members of the league should take the lead, I am the first to sign up for the youth commando!" ”

The auditorium immediately burst into a sea of applause, and sitting in the front row were a dozen foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes in suits and leather shoes, who exchanged words with the interpreter for a while, and also stood up and applauded.

It turned out that they were Soviet experts who were in charge of aiding in the construction of the new plant.

The Soviet Union supported China's 141 projects, metallurgy, machinery, coal, electric power, petroleum, and chemical industry, all of which were complete, and the foundation of North Thailand was thick, and there was already a coal and iron system and skilled workers, so the State Planning Commission put two key projects here, one of which was the new large-scale manufacturing enterprise, the Chenguang Machinery Factory.

Beitai has become a large construction site in full swing, the vacant land around the former United Machinery Company has been expropriated, new factories and office buildings have been built, the riverside farmland in the eastern suburbs of the city has been leveled, and a new steel plant has been built on the spot, and the name of the new factory is Hongqi Iron and Steel Plant.

Tens of thousands of workers are working all night, more than a dozen youth commandos are charging forward day and night, Ma Chunhua, the commando captain of Chenguang Factory, is a mother who has just given birth, so she resolutely weaned her child and stuck to the front line of work.

Chen Bei also came from the provincial capital, and when he came, he found that his home was gone, and the small western-style buildings had been demolished.

"Where did all the people in the factory move?" Chen Bei was very anxious.

"Moved the dirt slope." The man gestured into the distance.

Gaotupo is a piece of high ground on the Huai River, originally a river dam, but later inhabited by refugees, full of shacks, gradually forming a dirty and messy shantytown, Chen Bei found his son in one of the grass huts.

The dog girl was holding the baby and singing a folk song, holding a bowl of rice soup in her hand, and when she saw Chen Bei coming in, she hurriedly said, "Yo, I'm back." ”

Chen Beidao: "Auntie, what about the spring flowers?" ”

The dog said: "On the construction site." ”

Chen Bei turned his head and left, colliding with Ma Chunhua who came in a hurry.

Ma Chunhua said: "I'm looking for you, isn't your Jiangwan villa empty, lend it to Soviet experts." ”
