Zheng Zeru, the first secretary of the provincial party committee, was very confused in his heart, and the recent political wind direction was very unclear; Comrade Shaoqi, after investigating Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shanghai, and other provinces, set up an emergency committee, put forward the "16 agricultural measures", "three self and one package" and other policies, and implemented self-reserved land, free market, self-responsibility for profits and losses, and guaranteed production to households.

Comrade Shaoqi believed that the focus of the Four Clean-up Movement was on the grass-roots level of the land rich and the opposition to the bad right, while Chairman Mao believed that the focus of the contradiction was on the emergence of a new bureaucratic class in the upper echelons of the party, and the focus of the movement was on cracking down on those in power within the party who took the capitalist road.

There is a difference between the chairman of the party and the president of the state on the political line, which makes it difficult for Zheng Zeru, who is a provincial and ministerial-level cadre, to choose, Zheng Zeru worked in the white area in his early years, although he was not directly led by Comrade Shaoqi, but he had some intersections, and his impression was relatively good......

Therefore, in the incident of Chen Yan beating Li Huazi to death, Zheng Zeru's attitude was very clear, this was not out of personal relations, but on the issue of the line, and he asked the propaganda department to moderately publicize this matter, indicating that Jiangdong Province was implementing the line of cracking down on grassroots bully cadres and fighting against the bad right.

In some ways, Li Huazi died at a very good time.

……

On the day Chen Yan left the bitter well, the villagers of the whole commune came to see them off, the aunts and aunts carried baskets, filled with boiled eggs and white flour cakes, and asked Dr. Chen to take them on the road to eat, everyone was starved and scared by the three-year natural disaster, and Chen Yan was pulled with tears and said that the girl took it, don't be hungry on the road.

"Folks, I'll come back to see you." Chen Yan stood beside the car with tears in her eyes and waved goodbye to everyone, the car was personally instructed by the secretary of the provincial party committee, sent by the regional administration to pick up Chen Yan, and there was a public security officer with a gun in the car, responsible for Chen Yan's personal safety, this detail can show the attitude of the province very much, and also dispelled the attempt of Li Huazi's family to sue.

The car was gone, and the bitter well was calm.

Chen Yan first came to Beitai to visit relatives, lived in Gaotupo's sister-in-law's house, recently the nationwide is popular "University of Technology Daqing, Agricultural Dazhai" activities, Chenguang Machinery Factory overtime production day and night, Chen Bei and Ma Chunhua have no time to take care of the child, when the aunt shouldered the task of taking care of the nephew, bought a lot of iron toys for Xiao Chen Guang, and took him to the military division to see the cannon.

Qi Xiu, the lover of Luo Xiaolou, the commander of the Jiangbei Military Division, is Chen Zikun's goddaughter, and the godfather recognized during the war has recently been strengthened, and the two families often come and go, of course, the main thing is that Qi Xiu is keen on this, but Luo Xiaolou deliberately keeps his distance.

Qi Xiu was born in the dust, with a spicy and bold personality, Chen Yan is the eldest lady of a rich and noble family, introverted and arrogant, but the two can talk together, talk about the construction of the third line, talk about learning Daqing, talk about the United States bombing Vietnam, and later talk about the matter of killing Li Huazi with a shot in Kushuijing, Qi Xiu patted her thigh and said: "Happy, I didn't expect my sister to look weak, and she didn't show mercy when she killed people." ”

Chen Yan said: "People who study medicine have never seen anything, I have dissected no less than 100 corpses, but I am still a little afraid, after all, it is a fresh life, as soon as the trigger is pulled, the person is gone." ”

Qi Xiu said: "It's not a pity for this kind of person to die, if I replace him, I will castrate him first." ”

As he was talking, firecrackers suddenly crackled outside, and then gongs and drums rang out, and the compound of the army's family became lively, Qi Xiu pushed open the window and asked, "Xiao Li, who is married?" ”

Xiao Li excitedly unfolded the newspaper in his hand and said, "Our country also has an atomic bomb!" ”

The red number of the newspaper in his hand was printed on the outside: "China's atomic bomb test explosion has been successful!" "With a large mushroom cloud photo, it's extremely shocking.

Chen Yan looked at the date, and this memorable day was October 16, 19**.

……

Li Huazi's wife couldn't stand the masses pointing and poking behind her back, and rushed to the county with her son.

First go to the county to find a hostel to stay, and so the next morning to the county long-distance bus station, early at six o'clock, the bus from Beitai arrived, a group of travelers flocked up, Li Huazi's wife dragged the luggage with the child can not squeeze up, and finally barely got on the car, there is no seat for a long time, can only sit on the luggage, bumpy all the way to finally come to Beitai.

At noon, a pair of mother and son came to the door of the family courtyard of the administrative office, wearing linen and filial piety carrying a burden, a stinky sweat and muddy feet, and broke into it without saying anything, and was immediately stopped by the vigilant doorman, and asked who they were looking for, the ladies said to find the deputy commissioner Comrade Yang Shugen, the doorman said that the leader would not go home at noon, and the ladies said that I would go in and wait for him, and the doorman said that you would wait outside.

Helpless, Li Huazi's wife had to sit at the door with a small security, the scorching sun was on her head, and she didn't even have to drink saliva, thinking of her husband who died. A handful of snot and a handful of tears immediately attracted a lot of onlookers.

It happened that Li Cui was taking a nap at home, and when she heard the noise outside, she opened the window and looked, yo, isn't it the sister-in-law sitting downstairs, so she hurriedly went downstairs to pick up people, poured tea and cut fruits.

Li Huazi's wife cried again, and at the end she said, "Sister, you have to let your old Yang make the decision for us." ”

Li Cui said: "Middle, sister-in-law, you sit down first, and wait for Lao Yang." ”

In the evening, Yang Shugen, who had had a day's meeting, returned home, and saw that there were two more people in the house who wore linen and filial piety, and couldn't help frowning, and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?" ”

"Big brother, you have to be the master of our orphans and widows." Li Huazi's wife wiped away her tears again, and Yang Shugen immediately stopped: "Don't cry, pay attention to the impact, the main leaders of the prefectural party committee live in this courtyard." ”

Li Huazi's wife is considered a shrew in the countryside, but when she arrives in the city, her arrogance has decreased a lot, and when she arrives at the family home of the administrative office, her arrogance has been reduced to a negligible level, and she quickly stopped her sad voice and said: "Big brother, Lao Li died unjustly." ”

Yang Shugen said: "I am also very sad about the death of Comrade Li Huazi, but I am not sorry to ask about the affairs of the public security organs, so let's do it, you haven't eaten yet, Li Cui, you take some money and food stamps, take your sister-in-law and the security officer to the canteen of the organ to eat, and open a room in the guest house at night and record it in my account." ”

Li Cui has already grown from a little rural girl who was ignorant of the world to a family member of a cadre who observes words and feelings, and her husband understands with a look, and takes her sister-in-law and eldest nephew to the canteen of the agency to have a full meal, and the guest house opens a single room to arrange to stay, and then goes home.

Yang Shugen was very angry and blamed Li Cui: "What are you doing with her at home, the influence of wearing linen and wearing filial piety is very bad, and you don't know how Li Huazi died, this case is an iron case, and it can't be overturned." ”

Li Cui said: "Come and come, you can't watch the two of them crying outside, besides, Li Huazi has done a lot for you before and after the saddle over the years, and you can't chill people's hearts." ”

Yang Shugen said: "Li Huazi contributed that is what he should, I promoted him from a second-rate son in the countryside to the secretary of the commune, shouldn't he contribute to me?" Li Cui, you have to figure it out, he is my person, but I am not his person, it is natural for subordinates to carry the black pot for the leader, but it depends on the specific situation for the leader to wipe the ass of his subordinates, Li Huazi must not interfere in this matter, tomorrow you buy a ticket and send them back, by the way, buy some toys for the child, buy some materials for the sister-in-law or something. ”

Li Cui said: "I know, it's ...... Li Huazi died in vain like this? ”

Yang Shugen said: "Ladies and daughters, don't worry about these." ”

The next day, Li Cui took the cloth ticket and went to the department store to buy five feet of fabric, and bought a tin horn and two catties of snacks for the child, and came to the guest house to chat with Li Huazi's wife for a long time, and said: "Lao Yang said, he will deal with this matter when he is busy during this time, sister-in-law, don't be in a hurry, take care of yourself, see that you have lost weight." ”

He took out the bus ticket again and said, "After I bought the ticket to go back, I won't keep you." ”

Li Huazi's wife accepted it when she saw it, and went back to the countryside with the gifts, and when she got home, she couldn't help showing off again, saying that she lived in a guest house in the city, ate in the canteen of the administrative office, and sent a jeep back by the deputy commissioner.

After the was blown, there was no movement for half a year, and the appeal letter was also rejected by the county court.

Li Huazi's wife later went to Beitai again, this time she didn't even see the face of the poplar root, and after she came back, she remarried not long after.

Li Huazi's son Li Zhi'an became a fatherless and motherless child, was adopted by his kind grandmother, and since then he has developed an unruly character, and has become a second-rate son in the township like his father back then.

……

After the successful test explosion of China's first atomic bomb at Lop Nur, another explosive news came from distant Moscow in the Soviet Union, and the plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU dismissed Khrushchev from his post as first secretary of the Central Committee and chairman of the Council of Ministers, and Khrushchev, the main culprit in undermining Sino-Soviet relations, finally fell.

As soon as Sino-Soviet relations were about to be restored, the central authorities immediately sent a delegation headed by Premier Zhou to the Soviet Union to participate in the commemoration of the October Revolution, but the "troika" of the new leadership of the CPSU insisted that the responsibility for the rupture of Sino-Soviet relations lay with the Chinese side, that there would be no change in the China policy, and that the talks broke up unhappily, and that the two parties and two countries would henceforth become enemies and hold hostilities.

One of the by-products of the Sino-Soviet war was the abolition of the military rank system by the PLA, and all the things that used to be learned from the Soviet Union had to be abolished, and how could the military rank system and epaulettes and armed belts, which symbolized the authority of the bourgeois army, be retained, and in June 65, the whole army implemented a new 65-style military uniform, the army was all green, the air force was green and blue, and the navy also abolished the white military uniform and changed to a blue-gray military uniform.

This is called "a red star on the head, and the revolutionary red flag on both sides." ”

The guards on Fenglin Road in the provincial capital have changed into new military uniforms, and everyone has newly printed and published Chairman Mao's quotations in their hands, learning anytime and anywhere, and the atmosphere is new.

Chen Zikun, who lives at No. 10, stood in front of the window and watched a group of young soldiers singing "Learn from Lei Feng's good example, be loyal to the revolution and be loyal to the party" passing by from a distance.

On this day, Zheng Zeru stepped down as the first secretary of the provincial party committee, and the central government was promoted to another important role.
