Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sudden Change, Yuliang is suspected of being pregnant

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 Zhuji for three years.

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

"Didn't we say we'd wait until you're twenty-two before we have children?" 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 said softly with her husband's hair.

"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 was to implement the "**********" and mobilize the cadres and masses of the Material Bureau to participate in the "Cultural Revolution", and it was decided to transfer cadres from the two business departments and various departments to form a "Cultural Revolution" office.

Although Zhu Yuliang has always been insensitive to politics 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. She has published several English-language articles in authoritative English-language journals in the country that promote the etiquette and civilization of capitalist countries, which are regarded as anti-party and anti-socialist poisonous weeds and have been criticized.

Because Chen Meijuan is the number one English teacher and class teacher of Zhuji Middle School, and also the head of the English teaching and research team of Zhuji County High School, she is even more publicly criticized by the Zhuji 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 and reflect on her writing, waiting for further scrutiny and criticism from the revolutionary 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. "What's wrong with the country? One moment he called on everyone to learn English, and the other time he knocked down the English teacher...... I really don't understand! Zhu Yuliang was puzzled.

Soon, the principal of Zhuji Middle School was also criticized by posters for implementing the bourgeois line and advocating "intellectual education first, and scores are in charge"; 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 extraordinary workers' congress is to implement and study the "Decision of the Central Committee on the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution." The meeting was presided over by Deputy Director Cai Fuguo, and Director Li Fan read out the full text of the "Sixteen Articles" that had been published in the People's Daily.

When Li Fan read that "the current Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution is a great revolution that touches the hearts of the people...... Zhu Yuliang secretly applauded. She thought to herself: The reason why Chinese women have not achieved the same social status as men is because the vast majority of Chinese people look down on women in the depths of their souls. If the soul of the Chinese is transformed through this Cultural Revolution, she will naturally be happy and in favor.

When Li Fan read that "at present, our aim is to fight against those in power who have straddled the capitalist road, to criticize the reactionary academic 'authority' of the bourgeoisie, to criticize the ideology of the bourgeoisie and all exploiting classes, to reform education, literature and art, and to reform all superstructures that are not suitable for the socialist economic foundation......", 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; If she had been a creep, she would not have been subjected to such fierce criticism as a typology. What kind of fate did this Cultural Revolution revolutionize? It's the life of the top-notch people! Zhu Yuliang thought like this, and couldn't help but admire Teacher Chen Meijuan.

Zhu Yuliang thought that he was now also called "Zhu Abacus", could there be people who took advantage of this revolutionary situation to post their 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 Proletarian Cultural Revolution is bound to achieve a great victory! After Li Fan read out the "Sixteen Articles" in an impassioned tone, the audience applauded thunderously, and many workers stood up and shouted, "Long live XXX!" Many of them burst into tears, as if the opportunity to change their fate had really 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 revolutionary leading group of the Zhuji County Materials 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 revolution 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.

"Deputy Bureau Cai! 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'm going to send Dabao Erbao back to Shanghai and send them to their grandmother's house, because Dabao is going to 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 his relationship was with the woman on his back.

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.
