Soon after the Cai family's treasure came to naught, the Wen family's "baby" was also in danger.

One day, Zhu Yuliang saw that in front of the bulletin board of the Huansha Business Department, the employees were talking about each other again. She squeezed forward to see that it was a new notice.

The new notice requires the cadres and employees of the material bureau and its affiliated material companies to take the initiative to hand over all items with the "four old" colors at home within a limited time; If you do not voluntarily hand it in, you will be searched by the working group at your own risk.

The circular also lists items that fall within the scope of the "four olds", such as gold, gold ornaments, silver dollars, jewelry, jade, ...... are all on this list.

After reading the notice, Zhu Yuliang subconsciously touched the mutton fat jade Maitreya Buddha pendant on his chest, lowered his head and walked towards the office in contemplation.

For more than three years, she followed her mother-in-law's instructions and only took off the pendant when she was bathing. Therefore, this Maitreya Buddha has long become a part of her body, and she must be inseparable for a moment.

For more than three years, whenever she felt lonely and helpless, she talked to Maitreya Buddha. No matter what she said, Maitreya always looked at her with a smile and didn't say a word.

Although Maitreya Buddha did not say a word, it is worth a thousand words. She felt that every time she gave Maitreya Buddha what was in her heart, she could always feel a magical energy flowing through her body, thus multiplying her strength, courage and wisdom.

When she was in school, she was a shy girl with a clumsy mouth. I remember that every time she quarreled with her classmates, she would only shed tears and sulk, and would not fight back against others with sharp teeth. But since her mother-in-law hung this Maitreya Buddha on her, she seemed to be a different person.

She recalled the remarkable things about her life in Jiyang for more than three years: she won the championship of the skills competition in less than half a year after joining the company, slapped the hooligan when she was a salesperson, resigned angrily in the face of Xu Qingpei's ambiguous words, and was still at peace after hearing the rumors, helping Guo Weiming tide over the difficulties and keeping her mouth shut for the sake of righteousness, and has been sitting on the chair of the host accountant from the position of salesman, and this time she desperately protected Chen Meijuan from being destroyed and successfully persuaded her to give up the idea of suicide......

According to Zhu Yuliang's original nature, she couldn't do these "feats" at all. But she did, and she felt that her character was becoming more and more tenacious and composed, more and more compassionate and tolerant......

Although her growth is inseparable from the persuasion of her husband Wen Yuanfang and the earnest teachings of her mother-in-law Lou Xiangfu, she feels that it comes more from the silent blessing of Maitreya Buddha's loving father.

Although Zhu Yuliang's rejection of Buddhism was not as strong as that of her younger siblings, due to the influence of her mother Xu Guiying, she did not believe in the existence of Buddhism before.

Then, since putting on this Maitreya Buddha, the great change in herself had to make her believe in the existence of the Buddha and the power of the Buddha. Even though she didn't know what a Buddha was at all.

"Could it be that this time I, the Maitreya Buddha, can't be saved?" Zhu Yuliang couldn't help but worry.

……

When she returned home that night, Zhu Yuliang took out the six pieces of "Yuan Datou" that her mother had given her as a dowry and took them out of a locked suitcase.

After Lou Cuiying's experience of not treating herself as an outsider last time, Zhu Yuliang specially locked this suitcase and locked all the things she thought were more precious. Of course, it also includes a large stack of love letters between her and Wen Yuanfang.

She opened the silver dollar, wrapped in red cloth, picked up one of them with her fingers, blew into it, and put it to her ear to listen to the "buzzing" and intoxicating sound......

"Don't force it when you hit!" She said with a sigh, then put away the six silver dollars and prepared to hand them in tomorrow.

In addition, she also took out a pair of new pillowcases embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water that her second sister-in-law Wen Yuancao gave them. Aren't these all "four old" items? Deal with it early, clean it early.

Well, she now has no items that belong to the "four olds" except for the Maitreya Buddha on her chest.

At this time, she was glad that she and Wen Yuanfang were both poor; If you have too many treasures, won't it be more painful to lose them? Just like the Cai family next door, the bamboo basket is empty.

Zhu Yuliang took off the pendant from his neck and rubbed it in his palm...... For some reason, she felt a kind of heart-wrenching reluctance.

It's not because it's old and precious, or because it's not because I'm afraid of losing the heirloom of the Wen family and being blamed by my mother-in-law, but because this Maitreya Buddha is like a loving father who cares for her and blesses her at all times, but now he has to abandon him for unavoidable reasons...... This made Zhu Yuliang feel unprecedented despair and distress.

Zhu Yuliang thought about it, bit his lip, and decided to take the risk of leaving this talisman.

The next day, she took a packed bag of "four old" items and handed them to the "four old" working group in exchange for a few new renminbi.

With the wave of breaking the "four olds" rising wave after wave, there is still one day left in the time limit for taking the initiative to hand over the "four old" items.

Zhu Yuliang was entangled in his heart, not knowing whether keeping this Maitreya Buddha would bring disaster or happiness to himself.

Obviously, this Maitreya Buddha will definitely not be able to wear it again in the future; If someone finds out that confiscation is a small matter, and is labeled as "promoting feudal superstition", the matter will be big.

But if Maitreya Buddha can't wear it, where can he hide it? If someone finds him, don't you have to lose Him?

Forget it, let's learn the lessons of the Cai family, the cleaner the things outside the body, the better, why bother to increase the pressure on yourself.

Thinking like this, Zhu Yuliang walked quickly to the "Four Olds" working group, took off the pendant and threw it into the cardboard box full of all kinds of strange monsters.

"Hey! This comrade's stuff left without registering? The members of the working group called out to her.

"Register a ball! Will you give it back to me? Zhu Yu scolded in his conscience, and strode away without looking back...... Two hot tears smashed on the dusty concrete floor.

One night a few days later, Zhu Yuliang heard Cai Fuguo calling her door.

He handed her a delicate jade box and said, "Open it and see, it's your thing, right?" ”

Zhu Yuliang's face was full of doubts, and when he opened the box, he saw that it was her mutton fat jade Maitreya Buddha.

"Ahh How did this end up in the hands of Cai Ju? She asked, surprised and delighted.

"How did it get into my hands, don't care! As long as it's your stuff. You're done! This is something from the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and it is a treasure. Cai Fuguo said.

"How does Cai Ju know that this is my thing? I didn't register. Zhu Yuliang was puzzled.

"You smell it, this piece of mutton fat jade has a strange fragrance. If you can't smell it, you will only be born in this mountain. And you also have this strange fragrance on you......" Cai Fuguo said with a smile.

"Oh?" Zhu Yuliang was so surprised that he picked up Maitreya Buddha and sniffed it vigorously; But she didn't smell any strange scents...... Before she could say words of gratitude, Cai Fuguo had already returned to his home.

……

One day in mid-October, Zhu Yuliang shy his already pregnant belly and went to work as usual. Before walking through the bulletin board of the Huansha Business Department, she saw familiar people talking about each other......

When she got closer, someone posted a big-character poster criticizing Director Li Fan!

The big-character poster said: Li Fan, as the leader of the "spiritual reform" group of the Jiyang County Material Bureau, not only did not draw a clear line with Liu Haisheng, the father-in-law of the big "capitalist roaders," but instead questioned the "great soul transformation" movement and made reactionary negative and contradictory remarks. In addition, in order to protect himself, he suppressed the masses' denunciations, struck down the revolutionary enthusiasm of the "red faction" elements, and carried out a bourgeois reactionary line. He is the "person in power who takes the capitalist road" who is hiding in the Jiyang County Material Bureau. Now the revolutionary masses must find him out and fight and defeat him as a class enemy.

Zhu Yu's conscience thought, didn't Li Ju and Wen Yuanfang have the same views and belong to the "red faction"? How could he have struck down the revolutionary fervor of the "red faction"? It's really a sin to be added, and there is no excuse for it!

Although Zhu Yuliang didn't want to care about the current political situation, she still vaguely heard that the reform faction had been divided into two factions: the "red faction" and the "yellow faction". She also knew that the Li Bureau belonged to the "Red faction" and Deputy Cai belonged to the "Yellow Faction", and the division between the two factions had reached the point of tension.

Zhu Yuliang felt that this big-character poster criticizing Li Fan seemed to be more appropriate for Cai Fuguo. If she posted a big-character poster with the same content tomorrow and just changed the name of "Li Fan" to "Cai Fuguo", she would not be surprised.

Who instructed Li Fan's big-character poster? Could it be Cai Fuguo? Why does Cai want to be enemies of old neighbors and old leaders who have been with him for several years? I really can't understand things between men! ”

"If Li Ju was posted such a big-character poster, would he be as unlucky as Mr. Chen and his father-in-law? In this way, isn't Sister Liu Yuelan making matters worse? Zhu Yuliang couldn't help but worry about them.

Sure enough, the fake can't be true! Li Fan is a real "red faction" and a fake "capitalist roader".

But after all, he was the fast son-in-law of the big "capitalist roaders", and after all, he had made a few complaints about the big movement, so although he was not defeated, he was dealt with as an internal contradiction among the people and went to the Paitou Supply and Marketing Cooperative as the director.

Li Fan was demoted two levels in a row, and returned to the rural supply and marketing cooperatives where he stayed before he became the director of the county materials bureau.

And Cai Fuguo naturally took over the position of the leader of the "spiritual reform" team of the county material bureau.

Will the Paitou Supply and Marketing Cooperative's recovery of Director Li Fan's loss be as surprised and delighted as Zhu Yuliang's loss and recovery of the Sheep Fat Jade Maitreya Buddha?
