After Geng Furen, secretary of the Tianhe County Party Committee, saw Liu Shengli in the compound of the county party committee, he knew that Liu Shengli had not been admitted to the examination at a glance at Liu Shengli's gloomy face, so he complained to Liu Shengli and said: "You are a kid too, you were recommended by college a few years ago, and the county recommended you twice, but you didn't go, there will be no drama for you, you have taken the exam every year!" Forget it, forget it, let's talk about it later! Cheer me up, I'm looking for you. Come, come, come to my office and talk! ”

Liu Shengli didn't know what Geng Furen was looking for her, so he obediently followed Geng Furen into the office.

As soon as Secretary Geng sat down in the office, he asked: "Victory, did you catch the point of Baishuigou the year before last?" ”

Liu Shengli nodded: "It's the point of our county Youth League Committee, what's wrong, Secretary Geng?" ”

Geng Furen blushed and said unhappily: "Some people report that Baishuigou has blown a single wind and divided the land, but I don't know if it's true or not?" Would you like to take a few people and form a working group to run a trip for me and conduct an investigation? ”

Liu Shengli thought for a while and said: "Secretary Geng, I think it's better to let Chen Tao lead the team, he is the secretary of the county Youth League Committee!" ”

Geng Furen waved his hand and said: "Chen Tao can't leave for a while, if you want to help the county party committee get an important material, you will lead the team." ”

Liu Shengli had no choice but to respond: "Okay, I'll go as soon as possible." ”

Geng Furen said: "Not as soon as possible, it's today, give it to me today!" Victory, now everyone's thinking is a little chaotic, this mention of emancipating the mind, all the mess has come out, and I don't want to take the socialist road, how can this be done?! You bring someone to check it for me, if Baishuigou really wants to divide the land, the county party committee must deal with it seriously! Report the situation directly to me. ”

As soon as he came out of Geng Furen's office, he reported the situation to Chen Tao, secretary of the county Youth League Committee, and immediately took two officers of the Youth League Committee to Baishuigou and found Wang Huanhuan, the captain of the Baishuigou production team.

Wang Huan is two years younger than Liu Shengli, and he turned out to be the accountant of the Baishuigou production team, and he only became the production captain last year. The young peasant did not admit that he had divided the land, saying that hearing was false and seeing was believing, and dragged Liu Shengli and the two Youth League Committee officials to look around on the slopes in front of and behind the village, and kept muttering: "It's all nonsense, you can see for yourself, who divided the land?" Where is the mark in this piece after piece? I don't want to think about it, if the county grasps it so tightly, who would dare to take the capitalist road? Secretary Liu, others don't know, don't you know? You and Chen Tao have brought the working group here a few times, and we have stayed for a few months! ”

Liu Shengli asked: "Then why did someone sue me?" If you don't report it, will Secretary Geng let us investigate? ”

Wang Huanhuan said: "Do you still need to ask? It must be the class enemy who is destroying the good situation! He smiled bitterly at Liu Shengli, and said, "Secretary Liu, my eldest sister Liu, you are a young man in the countryside, and you will always return to the city sooner or later. ”

Liu Shengli has always had a good impression of Wang Huanhuan, and he didn't want to delve into it, so he said: "Huanhuan, it's really okay, let's leave tomorrow and go back to report to Secretary Geng." ”

Wang Huanhuan was happy: "Okay, okay, Secretary Liu, then we will send you off warmly tonight!" ”

Liu Shengli knew that Baishuigou was a well-known poor team in the whole commune, so he said: "Forget it, Huanhuan, don't say goodbye, you have to go door to door to collect eggs, now everyone's life is not easy, I know." ”

Wang Huanhuan grabbed Liu Shengli: "Oh, Secretary Liu, you don't know the new changes in our Baishuigou, because of the unswervingly taking the socialist road and fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of the members and comrades to farm, our Baishuigou is much better today." Look how well the crops grow in this field! ”

Up and down the slope, the crops were indeed growing gratifyingly, which made Liu Shengli feel moved.

The meal was really good in the evening, with chickens and ducks, and rice wine. Wang Huanhuan and Wang Xiaoxin, the new accountant of the production team, enthusiastically persuaded Liu Shengli and the two officials to eat more, saying that the rice wine was brewed by themselves, and the chickens and ducks were raised by themselves.

Looking at the table of dishes, Liu Shengli and the two officers were a little stunned.

Liu Shengli said: "Huanhuan, Xiaoxin, I really didn't expect that this year will really make your life really good!" ”

Wang Xiaoxin said: "Secretary Liu, I have to thank your working group!" You have conducted socialist education on us again and again, cutting the tail of capitalism, and everyone's ideological consciousness has been raised upward......"

Liu Shengli didn't believe it at all: "Xiaoxin, don't talk about it, talk about something practical, what measures have you taken to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm?" I would like to make a good report to the county party committee and ask Secretary Geng to organize some comrades to visit. ”

Wang Huanhuan panicked: "Don't, don't, Secretary Liu, don't report it!" You'll kill us as soon as you report it! Secretary Liu, Baishuigou is the point that your Youth League Committee has caught, you are also half of Baishuigou people, you should not know if our affairs are good? Count me as a brother, I beg you! ”

Liu Shengyi felt strange, so he stopped eating and asked the two officials to go around the village, only to find out the truth - Wang Huanhuan really divided the land in the team, and it was not the most recent one, but it was divided as soon as he became the captain last year, so life was better. According to Xiao Wang's sister, when the secret division of the field was divided, Wang Huanhuan led everyone to drink blood wine and swore a poisonous oath, and no one could tell the matter. Only then did Liu Shengli understand that Baishuigou had a better life, but it was because of the division of land and production.

So, on this night in Baishuigou, Liu Shengli lost sleep and thought again and again: The newspaper said that "practice is the only criterion for testing the truth." Since the practice of Baishuigou has proved that the production capacity of the land package can mobilize the enthusiasm of the peasants and improve the living standards of the peasants, then the county party committee should let Baishuigou try it. So, he got up overnight and wrote a report, deliberately not talking about the inside story of Baishuigou's secret division of fields, and only suggested to the county party committee that the production contract be carried out on a per-household basis.

Geng Furen, secretary of the county party committee, was extremely shocked after reading the report, and asked Liu Shengli sharply: "Liu Shengli, do you know what the nature of the problem is?" It is a question of taking the capitalist road! No matter how much you emancipate your mind, you can't emancipate yourself on the road to capitalism! Where is your party spirit?! I asked you to find out what Baishuigou did alone, but I didn't want to, you didn't find out what Baishuigou did alone, and you came up with a package production plan yourself! Let me ask you, Liu Shengli, how did you come up with this plan? Is there any connection to the solo incident in Baishuigou? ”

Liu Shengli wanted to protect Wang Huanhuan in his heart, so he bit his mouth and said: "My plan is my plan, and it has nothing to do with Baishuigou and Wang Huanhuan!" I really didn't find a problem with going it alone in Baishuigou. My plan is only a hypothesis, and it is said that some places in Anhui and Sichuan are also exploring this aspect......"

Geng Furen was furious: "Liu Shengli, let me tell you clearly, unless we receive instructions from the central and provincial party committees, we will not allow this kind of 'exploration' of capitalism in Tianhe County!" ”

Liu Shengli insisted: "But facts have proved that contracting the fields can mobilize the enthusiasm of the vast number of peasants to the greatest extent and fundamentally solve the problem of eating in the rural areas, which is obviously a good thing!" ”

Geng Furen "snorted": "Liu Shengli, now you said that you leaked your mouth, right?" Just because of your words, I knew that Wang Huanhuan, a pawn engaged in capitalism, had divided the land! Isn't it? Geng Furen touched the phone in front of Liu Shengli and asked the switchboard to pick up the Fangshan Commune to which Baishuigou belonged, and find Lao Qi, the secretary of the commune.

While waiting for the call, Geng Furen said again: "The socialist economic position in the vast rural areas of our province cannot begin to collapse from our Tianhe County!" The newspaper said that practice is the criterion for testing the truth, but did not say that there is no need for a socialist collective economy! Liu Shengli, your problem is quite serious! ”

Liu Shengli said: "Practice is the criterion for testing the truth, and it also includes the test of our current rural policies!" ”

Geng Furen was angry and anxious: "Okay, good, Liu Shengli, I won't quarrel with you!" You are an educated youth, you have to leave sooner or later! I only hope that before you leave, you won't cause me a big disaster, hurt yourself and our county party committee! ”

Liu Shengli choked and said: "I won't leave yet, I'll accompany you to the end!" ”

Geng Furen's table slapped: "Liu Shengli, I think you are crazy!" You give me a suspension check from now on! ”

At this time, the phone was connected, Geng Furen grabbed the phone and said, "Old Qi?" Listen, lead the team to Baishuigou immediately! Check it out! Move fast! Be more powerful! You go in person, bring a few more militiamen! ”

The Baishuigou production team jumped on the same day. Lao Qi, secretary of the party committee of Fangshan Commune, was a middle-aged cadre who was picked up by Geng Furen, and he did not spend the night carrying out Geng Furen's instructions, and after answering the phone, he rushed to Baishuigou with a group of armed militiamen in a truck carrying fertilizer. The truck drove until it reached the door of Wang Huanhuan's house before stopping, and the militiamen jumped out of the car and couldn't help but say that they arrested Wang Huanhuan first. Then, they put up slogans and loudspeakers everywhere in the village to create revolutionary public opinion. The revolutionary slogan of the commune's broadcaster immediately sounded: "Unswervingly take the socialist road!" "The wheel of history cannot be reversed!" "If we don't block the road to capitalism, we won't be able to take a step forward in socialism!" "Long live the dictatorship of the proletariat!" And all that.

Wang Huanhuan refused to admit that there was such a thing as a division of land and production, and Lao Qi ordered Wang Huanhuan to be hung up, slammed the table and smashed the bench, and said: "Wang Huanhuan, I'm not afraid that you won't say it!" If you don't say it for one day, I'll hang you for a day, and if you don't say it for two days, I'll hang you for two days! I still don't believe that the thirty-eight households in Baishuigou are the same as your dog's day, and they are iron-hearted to take the capitalist road! I still don't believe that this white water ditch is not the world of the Communist Party! ”

Wang Huanhuan struggled to raise his head, pitiful, but very stubbornly quibbled: "Secretary Qi, you ...... Your old man has really wronged me and the villagers, how dare we divide the land! Liu Shengli, secretary of the county Youth League Committee, just came to us to do an investigation. If you don't believe me, you old man can ask Liu Shengli ......"

Lao Qi said: "Don't mention Liu Shengli to me on your dog day, she has been quarantined and censored by the county!" ”

After hanging all night, Wang Huanhuan still didn't move, but kept wailing, saying that he was going to die.

Lao Qi said: "It's good to die, even if you die, it's a martyrdom for capitalism!" ”

Also on this day and night, Chen Tao, secretary of the county Youth League Committee, and Qian Yuan, secretary of the Fangshan Commune Committee, came to do Liu Shengli's work at the behest of Geng Furen. Chen Tao faithfully carried out Geng Furen's will, and kept asking Liu Shengli to recognize his mistakes and make a profound examination, but Liu Shengli quarreled with Chen Tao in a fit of anger. Qian Yuan didn't want to come, but he was worried that Liu Shengli would suffer a loss if he went down, so he took the opportunity of "doing work" to look at Liu Shengli, and also persuaded Liu Shengli in front of others, saying that the educated youth were going back to the city anyway, and they couldn't be honest with Secretary Geng Furen. As soon as the staff left, Qian Yuan immediately asked Liu Shengli, what should I do next?

Liu Shengli said: "You have to think of saving Wang Huanhuan and them, if you don't do it, you will die!" ”

Qian Yuan looked at Liu Shengli and sighed: "Shengli, this is all because you have harmed others!" How do you say? ”

Liu Shengli said: "Now, I only have one way to go, to find my sixth grandfather Sun Likun, who is the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee!" Qian Yuan, you can find it for me! It seems that he is still in our Yangshan City for a while, and he is dealing with an unjust case......"

Qian Yuan hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll go back to Yangshan first, if Secretary Sun is not in Yangshan, I'll go to the provincial capital immediately!" ”

Parting, Liu Shengli confessed again: "My sixth grandfather doesn't know you, you drag my mother to go with you!" ”

Qian Yuan responded again and again, turned around and left, and found a large tractor in the commune that night, rushed to Yangshan City, and dragged Sun Chenghui to find Sun Likun's room in the guest house of the municipal party committee early in the morning. Unexpectedly, Sun Likun had left Yangshan two days ago. Qian Yuan and Sun Chenghui had to take a long-distance bus to the provincial capital. When I arrived at the provincial capital, I learned that Sun Likun was still in the Yangshan area, saying that he was conducting an investigation in Tangquan County, which is adjacent to Tianhe. The two had no choice but to turn around and go to Tangquan County again. After such a toss, it was already evening when I saw Sun Likun finish talking about the situation......
