As soon as she went to work the next day, Sun Chenghui really went to the party committee of the mine, wanted to have a good talk with Secretary Tang Ping, and stayed at work. Sun Chenghui believes that she has a clear conscience, and believes that Tang Ping and the mine party committee can understand her and treat her fairly. But what Sun Chenghui didn't expect was that there were so many people gathered in front of the mine party committee that morning. These people are all workers who are about to be decentralized, most of them are female workers, some of them have babies in their arms, children in their hands, noisy, crying and scolding, as if they are facing the end of the world. Sun Chenghui noticed that Hua Guizhi was the most violent, and took his three ragged children to sit at the staircase, blocking the passage up and down the stairs. At the entrances of various departments in the compound of the party committee, many cadres were sticking their heads out to look at the office of Tang Ping, secretary of the party committee, upstairs.

Tang Ping couldn't go downstairs anymore, so he had to stand in the corridor upstairs with a blue face, talking to the female workers downstairs, and his tone was full of helplessness: "Comrades, comrades, let's go back first." Decentralization is decided by the state's major policy of adjustment and rectification, not by our mines, and it is useless for anyone to quarrel. As for who will be delegated in the end, the mine will carefully decide on the ...... after repeated study according to the conditions specified in the document."

The female workers downstairs didn't pay attention to it at all, they were still noisy, and some people scolded their mothers with their voices.

Sun Chenghui stood in the noisy female workers, looking at Tang Ping with a haggard face, and her heart was really not good.

Tang Ping said earnestly: "Comrades and sisters, I can understand your emotions, but I also hope that you can understand the difficulties of the party and the country!" The party and the country will not be forced to take this step without difficulties. Sisters, your coming down from work today is a kind of dedication, a kind of sacrifice, which does not prove that you are not doing a good job, but reflects your consciousness......"

Hua Guizhi jumped how high: "Don't say these, why don't the family members of your leaders show their consciousness?" ”

Tang Ping noticed Hua Guizhi and asked by name: "Comrade Hua Guizhi, how do you know that the family members of the leaders are not conscious?" Let me remind you, you're not done! You are unreasonable, and you beat and scolded Mine Manager Liu in front of the visiting guests, the impact is very bad, and the mine will deal with you! ”

Hua Guizhi snorted: "Deal with it!" My aunt and grandmother are about to be decentralized, are you still afraid of dealing with it? ”

Tang Ping immediately asked, "Hua Guizhi, who told you that you were going to decentralize?" ”

Hua Guizhi was stunned for a moment, looked up at Tang Ping with a raised face, and said suspiciously: "If you don't delegate me, who else will we delegate to the Life Department?" Can you delegate Sun Chenghui, the wife of Mine Chief Liu? I still don't believe that your cadres' families will have this kind of consciousness of suffering! ”

Tang Ping was excited, and waved his hand: "Comrade Hua Guizhi, what you said is wrong!" At least to Mine Chief Liu Cunyi, you are blind! Here I can reveal to you: it was Liu Cunyi, the mine manager, who advocated leaving you with Hua Guizhi, and also expressed his position on behalf of his wife Sun Chenghui, and the life department delegated Sun Chenghui! ”

The chaotic crowd downstairs suddenly fell silent, and many familiar female workers looked at Sun Chenghui with stunned eyes.

At this time, Hua Guizhi and Tang Ping upstairs found Sun Chenghui in the crowd.

Tang Ping seemed to see a savior, and waved to Sun Chenghui upstairs again and again: "Come, come, Comrade Chenghui, you came just in time, come up, I have something to say to you." ”

Hua Guizhi pulled away the three children blocking the corridor and let Sun Chenghui go upstairs.

Unexpectedly, Sun Chenghui went upstairs, and before he walked in front of Tang Ping, he said, "Secretary Tang, I came to you this time, and I have something to say." I want to state that Liu Cunyi cannot represent me. I am first a party member, a citizen, an employee of Jian'an Coal Mine, and then his wife Liu Cunyi! ”

Tang Ping was dumbfounded: "Comrade Cheng Hui, are you ...... You mean ......"

Sun Chenghui pulled the messy hair in front of his forehead: "Secretary Tang, what I mean is very clear, what Liu Cunyi said is his business, it has nothing to do with me Sun Chenghui, he has no right to ask me to decentralize!" I also said this to Liu Cunyi! ”

Tang Ping looked at the righteous and awe-inspiring Sun Chenghui, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Okay, okay, Comrade Chenghui, don't say it." Your opinion is right, whether it is in the mine or in the party, as a comrade, you and Cunyi are equal. Comrade Liu Cunyi has no right to make decisions on your behalf against your will......"

Hua Guizhi immediately shouted downstairs: "Secretary Tang, I don't think you should act!" I said a long time ago, you officials will not suffer this kind of loss, unlucky, in the final analysis, it is us ordinary people......"

At this moment, Sun Chenghui spoke again, looked at Hua Guizhi downstairs and the female workers around Hua Guizhi, and said to Tang Ping calmly but solemnly: "Secretary Tang, now, as a party member and comrade who joined the party in 1952, I volunteer to share worries and solve problems for the party and the country, I ...... I took the initiative to apply for the first batch of decentralization! ”

Tang Ping was surprised again, stunned for a moment, and grabbed Sun Chenghui's hand: "Comrade Chenghui!" ”

Sun Chenghui shook off Tang Ping's hand, covered her face, and walked downstairs with tears on her face.

With a solemn respect from the bottom of their hearts, the female workers silently made way for Sun Chenghui.

Sun Chenghui had already walked downstairs, and Tang Ping woke up from his surprise and said very excitedly: "Comrades, is this acting?" What comrade can be like Sun Chenghui and selflessly perform such a good show when the party and the country are in difficulty?! Comrade Sun Chenghui is a veteran party member who joined the party in 1952 and an outstanding worker of the Jian'an Coal Mine. What else do you have to be wronged about? Let me reiterate: The comrades who took the initiative to decentralize today are all manifestations of high political consciousness and are good sons and daughters of the party and the country! The difficulties are temporary, and as soon as the economic situation of the country improves, we will beat the gongs and drums to bring you back! The party and the country will never treat every good son and daughter who has made sacrifices for her! Comrades, I hope you will remember what I said today......"

When Tang Ping shouted loudly with tears in his eyes, Sun Chenghui had quietly left the mine party committee building and walked out of the east gate of the mine. Standing at the east gate of the mine, looking back at the two-story mine party committee building, looking at the derrick, the heavenly wheel and the gangue mountain behind the mine party committee building, Sun Chenghui silently said his final goodbye in his heart, and quietly waved his hand to those familiar scenery with tears.

Liu Cunyi was greatly moved, took Sun Chenghui's hand and said, "Chenghui, I really wronged you!" ”

Sun Chenghui shook off Liu Cunyi's hand and said with tears in her eyes: "When I signed up for the army in Beiping in 1949, I ...... I didn't expect it to be today; In 1950, when I was teaching you culture at the accelerated school of culture, I ...... I didn't expect it to ...... There will be today! I...... I've been working for so long, and I'm ...... It will become the family of the miner! ”

Liu Cunyi's eyes were also red: "Don't say it, Cheng Hui, I dragged you down, and I feel sad." ”

Sun Chenghui wiped away her tears: "Cunyi, you, the mine manager, didn't bring me any benefit!" He smiled reluctantly, and asked again, "Cunyi, tell me, if I had chosen Camp Chief Zhao, what would have happened today?" ”

Liu Cunyi jokingly asked: "Xiaohui, do you regret marrying me?" ”

Sun Chenghui shook his head: "I don't regret it, and you shouldn't regret it in the future." From now on, I am no longer a state worker, I am a family member of the mine's sideline production brigade, and my life may be tighter as much as I earn and how much I get......

Liu Cunyi hugged Sun Chenghui emotionally: "I don't regret it, I will never regret it......"

At this moment, Zou Zhaodi's voice sounded in the courtyard: "Cunyi, Cheng Hui, someone is looking for you!" ”

Sun Chenghui never expected that it was Hua Guizhi who came to visit!

Hua Guizhi stood timidly in the courtyard with two packets of coarse snacks, and said to Liu Cunyi and Sun Chenghui who greeted the door: "Mine Chief Liu, Cheng Hui, I ...... I'm here to apologize to you, I'm ...... I blamed you for the ......"

Sun Chenghui was still angry in her heart, but she was still very enthusiastic on the surface: "Sister Hua, come in and sit down." ”

As soon as Hua Guizhi entered the house, he knelt down with a "plop", crying and saying, "Mine Chief Liu, Cheng Hui, I'm ...... I'm ashamed, no one should decentralize your Sun Chenghui when the life department is decentralized! ”

The anger in Sun Chenghui's heart disappeared suddenly, and she hurriedly stepped forward to pull the flower cinnamon branch: "Sister Hua, you get up, don't say it, this is my voluntary delegation, and it has nothing to do with you......"

Hua Guizhi still couldn't kneel: "Cheng Hui, Section Chief Liu and Comrade Corey both said that I squeezed you away!" ”

Sun Chenghui said: "Sister Hua, you get up!" I'll make it clear to you, I don't want to go, no one can squeeze me away! I repeat: I delegated voluntarily. If you are my good sister, you can do my job and contribute more to the country and the mine! ”

Hua Guizhi stood up at this time, crying and nodding her head again and again.

Liu Cunyi handed the two packs of coarse snacks brought by Hua Guizhi to Hua Guizhi: "Comrade Hua Guizhi, please take this away, you have old and young people in your family, Xiao Qi is not in good health, and your life is not easy......

Hua Guizhi couldn't help but hug Sun Chenghui: "Mine Chief Liu, Cheng Hui, the consciousness of your party members and cadres is different from that of our masses, I ...... I'm convinced, I'm really convinced! ”
