It was already very late at night, and Sun Chengwei still stayed in Liu Ruhua's room in the guest house and didn't leave, talking to Liu Ruhua endlessly.

Liu Ruhua was very emotional, and said: "Dawei, this is really a dream of life, in 1949 in Beiping, who of us would have thought that there would be today?" I never imagined that I would have this status, and I never imagined that you would fall to such a point. ”

Sun Chengwei said: "It's not down, fourth, I'm not very good today, I'm still here to cheer you on!" ”

Liu Ruhua said: "Your good voice in the audience really stunned me, I never thought that you would be in this mine - Liu Cunyi didn't talk about ......you when he led us down the mine to visit."

Sun Chengwei said: "Of course Cunyi won't mention me, why does he mention me?" I'm a labor prisoner, a bad guy. ”

Liu Ruhua took out five hundred yuan and handed it to Sun Chengwei: "Dawei, no matter what, we are always friends, you didn't help me less before liberation, and now even though you have become a prisoner released from labor reform, I have to admit that I owe you, you ...... this five hundred yuan."

Sun Chengwei hurriedly excused himself: "Fourth, look at you, what are you doing?" Do you think I'm coming to see you for money? Isn't that what I want to catch up with you? No matter how poor my Sun Chengwei is, I won't spend a woman's money anymore. You may not know that after marrying Mu Yuewen, I didn't spend a penny on Mu Yuewen. ”

Liu Ruhua said: "These are two different things, quickly take the money and buy something to eat." ”

Sun Chengwei's face turned red: "Fourth, you ...... You're going to do it, I'm ...... I'm in a hurry with you! ”

Liu Ruhua let out a long sigh and had to put the money away first.

Sun Chengwei felt better, and asked about Chen Mengxiong's situation with concern: "Hey, fourth, how is the bear now?" Are you alright? As soon as I heard that you were coming, I thought about him all afternoon. For a while, I thought about him singing in the Dacheng store, and for a while, I thought about visiting the kiln with him. I also remembered the twenty-eight gold bars. Fourth, you know, all my bad luck started with those twenty-eight gold bars. Before I was liberated, if I hadn't been black, the fifth master's twenty-eight gold bars, I wouldn't have been expelled by my sixth uncle Sun Likun, and I wouldn't have married Mu Yuewen, let alone become a tiger......"

Liu Ruhua said: "If you don't black, the twenty-eight gold bars are not good." Others don't know you, but I know you, and those bad things in Tianjin before the liberation alone are enough for you to bear. You need to be reformed in the new society. ”

Sun Chengwei said insincerely: "I have reformed better now, and the party's policies are heartwarming." ”

Liu Ruhua said: "Why doesn't this sound right? Why do you have a tone with your difficult brother Chen Mengxiong?! ”

Sun Chengwei was happy: "Fourth, according to what you say, the bear has not been reformed well?" When I went to prison, didn't he even donate a cannon? The mouth is full of progressive terms. ”

Liu Ruhua snorted disdainfully: "It's sad to say, entering the stage of socialism, Chen Mengxiong stood on the opposite side of the party and the people." This bourgeois reactionary element, still not satisfied with the fixed income, vented his dissatisfaction with the party and the people at home all day long, saying that he had no place to use himself. I don't want to think about it, if you engage in socialism, you can still give your bourgeois reactionaries a place to use?! I criticized him and educated him, but he just didn't listen, there was no way, we had to divorce and break up. ”

Sun Chengwei felt a little surprised: "Oh, you guys are also leaving?" ”

Liu Ruhua said lightly: "I left, and the organization supported me to leave." Organizationally speaking, we revolutionary literary and artistic workers and bourgeois reactionaries who eat fixed income are two cars running on the same road, and they are not on the same road. ”

Sun Chengwei asked: "Fourth, where is Chen Mengxiong now?" How's it going? ”

Liu Ruhua shook her head: "I don't know." I heard that he was arrested once for engaging in speculation and dumping activities, and later he always applied to go to Hong Kong to find his father, but he was not approved by the above -- and he really couldn't be approved, can a reactionary capitalist like him, who has not been reformed, speak good things about our Communist Party when he arrives in Hong Kong? There was no news of this man after that. Last month, I heard that people had fled to Hong Kong as a smuggler, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Sun Chengwei was silent for a long time, and then got up and said goodbye: "Okay, fourth, I'm leaving." I'm happy to see you today. I wish you a smooth journey back to Beijing, and if it is convenient, greet my sixth uncle on my behalf. ”

Liu Ruhua responded with "good", handed 500 yuan to Sun Chengwei again, and said: "Dawei, you still take this money, don't push it, I didn't give it to you, it was for Cheng Hui and Liu Cunyi's children." I don't have time to watch them, can you do your best for me? ”

Saying this, Sun Chengwei had no choice but to accept the five hundred yuan.

Liu Ruhua took out a large bag of food and asked Sun Chengwei to take it away: "Oh, Dawei, bring these too, they were all sent by the reception unit along the way, I can't eat so much alone, you bring it to the children for me!" ”

Sun Chengwei couldn't help but be a little moved: "Fourth, you have become such a big name, you ...... Your heart is still so good! ”

Liu Ruhua also told the truth: "Dawei, you are not evil in your bones, but you have a bad problem in the old society that cannot be changed." Then he said very sincerely, "Dawei, you have to reform, you really have to do a good job, don't do it again, the party and the people will not allow you to do it." You must be reborn and become a new person! ”

Sun Chengwei nodded again and again, coping: "That's, that's ......"

It was almost twelve o'clock at night when I got home, and the lights in the house were turned off, and it was pitch black.

Unexpectedly, when Sun Chengwei carefully turned on the light, the children sleeping outside all got up at once.

Sun Chengwei was happy, and put all the food he took from Liu Ruhua on the table: "Comrades, everyone hasn't slept?" Okay, okay, now let's go to my uncle and get the reward. Look, biscuits, buns, sugar cubes, hey, butterscotch cubes! ”

The children took what Sun Chengwei gave them and grinned.

Liu Yuanchao ate biscuits and asked, "Uncle, where did you make your fortune?" ”

Sun Chengwei said happily: "Uncle took a ghost turret!" ”

Pan Pan said: "Uncle, didn't you go to the play?" ”

At this moment, Sun Chenghui came out of the inner room, looked at Sun Chengwei coldly, and didn't speak for a long time.

Sun Chengwei saw Sun Chenghui after a while: "Oh, it's Cheng Hui, have you been discharged from the hospital?" Come, come, it's really early to come than to come by coincidence, Cheng Hui, I'll give you a bun to eat, the real meat filling......"

Sun Chenghui lowered her face in front of the child: "Brother, you are so thick-skinned, not only did you go to find Liu Ruhua, but also asked people for things, you ...... You're not afraid of people laughing at you behind your back! ”

Sun Chengwei was stunned for a moment and explained: "Cheng Hui, it's not what I want, it's Liu Ruhua's ......."

Sun Chenghui said bluntly: "If you don't look for her, will she give it hard?" At this point, what are you going to do with her! ”

Sun Chengwei's face couldn't hold back: "Why can't I go to her?" Cheng Hui, tell me, do you think I've embarrassed you? If you think I'm losing your people, I'll go back to the farm tomorrow......"

Mother Zou Zhaodi came out at this time: "In front of the children, don't you make a noise, okay?" ”

Sun Chengwei huffed and shook his hands and went out.

Zou Zhaodi and Sun Chenghui also followed out and went to the vegetable garden in the courtyard.

Standing in the vegetable garden, Zou Zhaodi said to Sun Chenghui with tears in her eyes: "Cheng Hui, don't blame your brother, your brother was worthy of you in the past, and he is still worthy of you." A while ago, you and Cunyi were both hospitalized, and I was busy waiting for you and Cunyi, and your brother was in charge of the house. He drinks salt and boiled water three times a day, saves everything for his children, and opens such a large vegetable garden. When he came back with these things today, he was also trying to relieve the children's hunger, but you were angry at him, like words?! Your brother has a lot of problems, he has always caused trouble, he has done bad things, and he has been in prison, but he is still your brother and my son! If he really wants to go, I'll go with him. Cheng Hui, let me tell you again, your brother is sorry for the Communist Party and the new society, but he is worthy of you Sun Chenghui......"

Sun Chenghui's eyes were red: "Mom, don't say it, blame me today, blame me......"

Sun Chengwei looked up at the starry sky: "Cheng Hui, don't blame you, blame me, blame me for being cheap." Turning around, she looked at the Communist Party member sister in a daze, with bright tears in her eyes, "Little sister, tell me, what did I do wrong today?" Am I really disgraced to you, a Communist? ”

Sun Chenghui said: "Brother, I am a member of the Communist Party outside, and at home I am your little sister, don't be angry." ”

Sun Chengwei sighed deeply: "I'm not angry, I have to leave too, let's go back to the farm for employment." ”

Sun Chenghui grabbed Sun Chengwei's hand: "Brother, you ...... Are you really angry? ”

Sun Chengwei shook his head, and then told the truth: "No, little sister, you don't know, it's really bad for me to stay." You may not know that our organs of the dictatorship of the proletariat are very powerful! According to the regulations, no matter where I go, I have to report to the local public security police station with a certificate of release from prison, and ...... Moreover, the certificate of release stated that he would continue to be deprived of political rights for three years and wear the hat of a bad man to be supervised and ......"

Sun Chenghui was stunned - she didn't expect this!

Sun Chengwei continued: "Little sister, you and Cunyi are both party members, Cunyi is still the mine manager, and there is a person like me who wears the hat of a bad element at home to be supervised and worked here, how can you still work?" So, I had to go. ”

Sun Chenghui asked painfully: "Brother, so you have taken advantage of the loophole again?" ”

Sun Chengwei nodded: "Even if it is, who would have thought that there was a bad element living in the mine manager's house?" ”

Sun Chenghui glanced at Sun Chengwei angrily and angrily: "Brother, just like that, you still dare to brag with the children, saying that you are in the prison of a Japanese devil, right?" ”

Sun Chengwei was a little embarrassed: "Little sister, this ...... Don't get me wrong, this is all forced by these little bastards who aid Korea and victory. Sighing, "Forget it, don't talk about it, let's go, I can only go." Fortunately, Cunyi's injury is healed, you have also been discharged from the hospital, the adults and children have been saved, and my heart is at ease. I want to leave tomorrow, and I will leave after the children go to school, and I don't want any of you to send it. ”

Zou Zhaodi wiped her tears and said, "Dawei, mom will send you!" ”

Sun Chenghui resolutely said: "Brother, what are you going?" Don't go, just stay here! ”

Sun Chengwei and Zou Zhaodi were stunned: "Is this okay?" ”

Tears welled up in Sun Chenghui's eyes: "Why not? Brother, I am a member of the Communist Party and your own sister! ”

Sun Chengwei asked sneeringly: "Then I can't report to the mine security department or the public security police station?" ”

Sun Chenghui hesitated: "This ...... You let me discuss this matter with Cunyi. ”

Sun Chengwei couldn't forget the situation when Liu Cunyi arrested him for gold bars, and he was quite unconfident: "Little sister, I'm afraid that as soon as you talk to Cunyi, Cunyi will have to drive me away." ”

Sun Chenghui shook his head: "Brother, don't say that, you don't understand Cunyi, I understand him." He is now holding a party committee meeting in the mine, and it is so late, it is time to dismiss the meeting, I will wait for him, you can sleep first. ”

That night, he waited until almost two o'clock before Liu Cunyi hobbled home, and when he entered the door, he told Sun Chenghui that the basic policy of rectification and adjustment had been set by the central authorities, and the adjustment plan for the Jian'an mine was also being studied intensively. According to the requirements of the bureau and the apportionment ratio, the decentralization target of Jian'an Mine is 250 people, accounting for about 5 percent of the total number of employees. The front-line and underground workers of the mining line cannot be moved, and the main ones who need to be mobilized and decentralized, are the personnel in the rear of the organs and female workers. Therefore, this party committee meeting was not easy.

Sun Chenghui didn't think that the adjustment and decentralization had anything to do with him, so he didn't ask much, and after waiting for Liu Cunyi to go to bed, he told his brother Sun Chengwei about it, and asked Liu Cunyi what to do.

Liu Cunyi was stunned for a long time before he said, "This is really a problem. It's absolutely not okay to report to the public security organ with a release certificate, and Bai Jiejie still doesn't look at our jokes? Your brother will either leave, or we will pretend to be confused, anyway, you can do it. ”

Sun Chenghui said: "I thought about this for a while, and it seems that I can only pretend to be confused." Now life is not easy anywhere in the country, and I am worried that my brother will cause trouble again without eating or drinking. Instead of my brother going out to cause trouble, it is better to stay here and save some money for the party and the country. ”

Liu Cunyi said fairly: "Your brother stayed with us, not only for the country, but also for us to save a lot of heart, he has really done a lot of work in our family this time!" Cheng Hui, don't talk about this, let's just decide. ”

Sun Chenghui said: "However, Cunyi, you have to have a number in your heart, you are always the mine manager, if this matter gets out of trouble, you will pretend not to know, I am also a party member, let the organization punish me." ”

Liu Cunyi waved his hand: "Cheng Hui, it's not the same thing to punish you and me?" ”

Sun Chenghui told Sun Chengwei and the children about the nonsense, and explained to Liu Cunyi: "Cunyi, you have to talk to my brother when you have time, and tell him to be a man with his tail between his legs, but don't talk nonsense with the children anymore." ”

Liu Cunyi was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes at this time, and yawned and said, "Okay, okay, go to sleep." ”

Early the next morning, when Liu Cunyi went to work, he saw Sun Chengwei busy in the vegetable garden, thought about it, walked into the vegetable garden, and greeted Sun Chengwei with a smile: "Dawei, you have planted this land well, you are about to catch up with me." ”

Sun Chengwei wiped the beads of sweat on his head and said, "Cunyi, you don't know, I am an expert in growing vegetables on the farm. ”

Liu Cunyi waved his big hand: "No, no, it's almost okay to catch me, I went to the ground with my father when I was six years old." ”

Sun Chengwei said: "Cunyi, you are planting crops, and I am growing vegetables." ”

Liu Cunyi looked around and said, "Isn't it all the same thing to grow crops and vegetables?" ”

Sun Chengwei nodded in response: "Yes, yes." Suddenly remembered, "Hey, Mine Chief Liu, the sun came out of the west today?" Why haven't you gone down the well yet? Why do you think so highly of me and talk to me about the sky? ”

Liu Cunyi said with a smile: "How can you not go down the mine when you are a mine manager?" This has to go. ”

Sun Chengwei said: "Mine Chief Liu, when is it convenient for you, and take me to see it when you go down the mine?" ”

Liu Cunyi refused: "Dawei, you can rest, the underground is not the Imperial City Theater in Beijing, and there is no corner for you to hold." Hey, by the way, I was just about to tell you, here, don't you do any more nonsense, what are you talking about with the children? Yes? Are you still eight-way? There is no such baby as you in the Nine Roads! Blowing out the trouble, who will give you a pocket? ”

Sun Chengwei hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Mine Chief Liu, don't worry, I won't tease the children anymore." ”

Liu Cunyi looked up and looked around, and saw that there was no one around, so he pulled Sun Chengwei and whispered half-truthfully: "Hey, Dawei, let's just say this, I told Cheng Hui to leave you to live with us, but don't forget, you are still supervising labor." I'll supervise your work, and I'm not welcome to make trouble for me—you were my captive back then, and you know better than anyone else what I look like when I put my face down! ”

Sun Chengwei replied again and again: "That's, that's, Cunyi, you just have to rest assured, I will be honest and promise not to add a little mess to you and Cheng Hui!" ”

Liu Cunyi was quite satisfied, got up and left, walked to the door of the vegetable garden, and thought again: "Hey, Dawei, don't pour so much urine on the vegetables, be careful to burn the vegetable seedlings." ”

Sun Chengwei waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mine Chief Liu, you go down to your well, you are really inferior to me when growing vegetables." ”

Looking at Liu Cunyi's back as he gradually moved away, Sun Chengwei's heart was warm, and he couldn't help but think that if Communist Party members were like his brother-in-law Liu Cunyi and his sister Sun Chenghui, who were both principled and humane, he Sun Chengwei would be really convinced......
