As soon as the lively and hard Spring Festival passed, it was April Fangfei Day. Zhu Yuliang has been married for three years, and he has been coming to Jiyang for three years.

One night, after Zhu Yuliang lingered with her husband, she put her arms around his neck and said, "Fang! Shall we have a baby? I didn't take any medicine this time. ”

"Didn't you say that we'll have a child when you're over twenty-two?" Wen Yuanfang asked with some surprise.

"Fool! You're in your thirties, and you'll be old if you're not a father. Hee-hee! I asked Dr. Liu, and she said that if she wanted to have a baby, she would have to stop using this contraceptive pill for more than half a year in advance. I'm starting to stop taking medicine now, won't I be 22 years old in half a year? Zhu Yuliang stroked her husband's hair and said softly.

"Oh! In that case, we won't take medicine! After Wen Yuanfang finished speaking, he hugged his wife and started the second round of love bombardment......

……

The grass grows and the warbler flies, and the ground is getting warmer. One day at the end of mid-May, Zhu Yuliang suddenly received a notice when he got off work: At seven o'clock tonight, all the cadres of the Huansha Business Department must go to the conference room of the Materials Bureau Building to attend an emergency meeting.

The content of the meeting is to implement an important notice, mobilize the cadres and masses of the Material Bureau to participate in a "soul transformation movement", and decided to transfer cadres from the two business departments and various departments to form a leading body of the movement.

Although Zhu Yuliang has always been insensitive to current affairs, and has long been accustomed to the "social education", "four cleansing", "learning from Lei Feng", "learning from Dazhai", "learning from Daqing" and other movements, this sudden tense atmosphere still made her feel that a big storm was coming.

The first to be affected in Tongxin Pavilion was Teacher Chen Meijuan. Several of her English-language articles in authoritative English-language journals in the country that promoted the etiquette and civilization of capitalist countries were criticized as anti-socialist poisonous weeds.

Because Chen Meijuan is the number one English teacher and class teacher of Jiyang Middle School, and also the head of the English teaching and research team of Jiyang County High School, she was publicly criticized by the Jiyang County Education Commission as a bourgeois "academic authority...... Naturally, her title of head of teaching and research was taken off first, and then the head teacher was no longer allowed to be a regular English teacher...... Her main task now is to go home to reflect and write materials, and wait for further examination and criticism from the masses.

On that day, Zhu Yuliang saw Teacher Chen walking into Tongxin Pavilion with a book in his hand and his head down through the window, and compassion arose. "One moment called on everyone to learn English, and the other moment knocked down the English teacher...... I really don't understand! Zhu Yuliang was puzzled.

Soon, the principal of Jiyang Middle School was also criticized by posters for implementing the bourgeois line and advocating "intellectual education first, score first"; Chen Meijuan was once again denounced by the students for having bourgeois elite ideology and attempts to restore capitalism, and was criticized by the masses as a "bull, ghost, snake and god".

In the face of his wife's injustice, Cai Fuguo could not publicly express his words of defense in addition to swallowing his anger and gritting his teeth and cursing, so he could only persuade his wife to cooperate with the review and say something like staying in Qingshan.

One day in mid-August, all the cadres and workers of the Huansha Business Department were told that they had to go to the conference hall of the Materials Bureau building to participate in the temporary staff meeting.

"It's really going to change dramatically!" There was a lot of discussion among the employees.

The purpose of convening this temporary workers' meeting is to mobilize the masses to carry out this "soul transformation movement" in an all-round way. The meeting was presided over by Deputy Director Cai Fuguo, and Director Li Fan read out the full text of the mobilization article that had been published in the People's Daily.

When Li Fan read that "the current movement is a great revolutionary ...... that touches people's souls," Zhu Yuliang secretly applauded. She thought to herself: The reason why Chinese women have not achieved the same social status as men is because most Chinese people look down on women in the depths of their souls. If the soul of the Chinese is reformed through this movement, she will naturally approve of it happily.

Zhu Yuliang suddenly understood why Teacher Chen Meijuan was unlucky.

"To put it bluntly, it's because Teacher Chen Meijuan is too top-notch in business, and she hasn't reformed herself in her soul." Zhu Yuliang thought like this, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Teacher Chen Meijuan.

Zhu Yuliang thought that he is now also called "Zhu Abacus", will someone also come to post his own big-character posters? What if I am posted with big-character posters, paraded through the streets, or insulted? Will Wen Yuanfang come to save himself? Will Cai Fuguo and Li Fan still come to save themselves? Can I quit my job then?

Also, Sister Liu Yuelan is the chief doctor of gynecology, is she considered a reactionary academic authority? Will it also be criticized by people like Teacher Chen Meijuan who posted big-character posters?

“…… The Great Soul Transformation Movement will surely achieve a great victory! After Li Fan read out the general mobilization order in an impassioned tone, the audience applauded thunderously, and many workers stood up and chanted slogans, and many of them burst into tears, as if the opportunity to change their fate had come.

Zhu Yuliang was so shocked by this scorching wave of air that he couldn't stand up...... She felt a wave of dizziness and inexplicable nausea; Vomit suddenly flooded her throat and she had to rush to the toilet...... She still didn't have time to run to the toilet before she threw up...... She quickly found a mop and quickly cleaned up the vomit.

When Zhu Yuliang returned to the venue, he heard Xu Qingpei reading out the list of the leading group for spiritual reform of the Jiyang County Material Bureau: "Team leader: Li Fan, deputy team leader: Cai Fuguo, team members: Xu Qingpei, Li Dongming, Feng Aizhen, Wang Ke, Chen Shuigen, Zhao Zhiqiang, Lei Hongbo, ......"

After the meeting, Zhu Yuliang walked out of the building of the Material Bureau with the chaotic crowd, and then took a shortcut to Tongxin Pavilion. She was still thinking about what Li Fan had just read out, and what kind of fate this big movement would bring to her. "Xiao Zhu!" She suddenly heard someone calling her from behind, and turned her head to see that Deputy Bureau Cai was catching up.

"Cai Ju! How do you also go this way? Zhu Yuliang asked in surprise.

"Do you know how to take a shortcut?" Cai Fuguo teased her and said.

"How is Mr. Chen doing now? I feel so sad to see her like that. You must comfort her and support her more! Zhu Yuliang said with concern.

"Of course! I can't protect my own woman, what else can I do as a man! Can you do me a favor? Cai Fuguo's tone didn't seem to be speaking to a subordinate, but to a friend.

"You say! If I can do it, I will not refuse! More than three years have passed, Cai Fuguo has never had any special requirements for Zhu Yuliang, and some only secretly support her and promote her, so the feelings in her heart have always been remembered.

"In two days, I will send Dabao and Erbao back to Shanghai and send them to their grandmother's house, because Dabao will be in first grade. Meijuan's here, you help me keep an eye on it! If you have burned something delicious, bring her a bowl; At night, you'd better sleep in my house and spend time with her. May I? Cai Fuguo sincerely pleaded.

"No problem! I'll take care of her for you! Zhu Yuliang agreed without thinking about it.

The two didn't speak anymore, and walked side by side...... "Oops! Zhu Yuliang suddenly stepped on a small pebble, stumbled, and almost fell, but fortunately Cai Fuguo grabbed his arm.

"Are you alright?" Cai Fuguo asked with concern.

"My foot twisted. It hurts! Zhu Yuliang grinned and said.

"Are you going to the hospital?"

"The hospital is far away! It's almost home. ”

"Come on! I'll carry you home, not a few steps. Cai Fuguo squatted down as he spoke.

"Isn't that right? Someone was seen gossiping. Zhu Yuliang said with a blush on his face.

"If people like it, they can say it! Can you go? Can't you go, I'll leave you here, am I still human? Cai Fuguo was a little angry.

"Alright then!" Zhu Yuliang felt that no matter how strong he was, he would definitely not be able to go home on his own, and he wouldn't be able to manage so much.

"You're not short, what kind of high heels are you wearing? Chen Meijuan is so much shorter than you, I don't even allow her to wear high heels. Also, your braids are so long, let's go cut them tomorrow! Don't wear flower clothes and skirts! Do you hear that? Women should be obedient and not always so stubborn. Do you understand? When Cai Fuguo said these words, he seemed to have forgotten what the relationship between the woman on his back was with him.

Zhu Yuliang really regretted that he didn't refuse him just now, so he responded with "oh, oh" on his lips, and he couldn't wait to step to the door of the house with one foot in his heart.
