Chapter 18: You've Become Well-Behaved

You became well-behaved, and that day you made a bowl of poached egg vinegar noodle soup for your mother and brought it to her. Your mother doesn't look at you while lying in bed, just silently weeps in her eyes. You felt guilty at the time. It's just because I'm afraid that you will suffer that I resolutely disagree with you going to Beidagang, but I hate her so much, it's really undeserved.

Your nose was sore, and you almost shed tears: "Mom, eat a bowl of vinegar noodle soup!" "Mom pretended not to hear, but ignored you. You say, "I'm not going to Beidagang." Mom turns her face in disbelief, looks at you with suspicion and asks, "Really?" Are you really not going? You nod and say, "Really!" Get up and eat the vinegar noodle soup! Mom still asked suspiciously, "You're not coaxing Mom, are you?" Mom also thought about it, if you really have to leave, Mom won't live. Say, "I will not coax you." Mom sat up weakly and took the dishes and chopsticks from your hands. Maybe you moved the stone in your mother's heart and made room for her appetite, only to see her eat with relish. At this time, there was a faint shouting outside the window. Mom asked in surprise, "What are you yelling outside?" You hear it: "It seems to be a tweeter put on by a propaganda car." ”

You're right. On the streets with a rich and exotic atmosphere, a propaganda vehicle with a red flag fluttering is driving slowly. The tweeter on the propaganda car played the impassioned voice of the soprano: "...... The migration of young intellectuals to the mountains and countryside is not only a requirement of the socialist revolution and socialist construction, but also an important way to train and bring up successors to the cause of the proletarian revolution...... The CPC Central Committee believes that the new generation of peasants, workers, and soldiers, who have a high degree of socialist consciousness and modern science and culture, and a new generation of laborers in all walks of life, are the new types of successors that we should cultivate...... They will not only become the backbone of socialist construction and the grassroots cadres leading the production struggle and class struggle, but will also emerge from this contingent of all kinds of talented people and become the backbone of all posts and an endless source of leading cadres at all levels. The propaganda car with the red flag fluttering gradually went away. However, the impassioned soprano still echoed over the streets for a long time. Obviously, Tianjin has once again set off an upsurge in the movement of young intellectuals going to the mountains and going to the countryside. This time, however, it was to support the Great Northwest.

I heard that the cadres of the Yijingli Neighborhood Committee quickly convened an emergency meeting in accordance with the instructions of the sub-district office. Aunt Wang said at the meeting that the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have once again vigorously called on revolutionary young people to respond to Chairman Mao's great call and go to the vast world to exercise. I won't talk about this great principle of going to the mountains and going to the countryside! The streets have already met, and the indicators have come down. All the young people in our society are the targets of mobilization. The place where you go up the mountain and go to the countryside is the Gansu Provincial Construction Corps. I hope that everyone will take it seriously, resolutely implement it, and strive to exceed the task.

At this moment, the cripple felt so proud in his heart, and the opportunity to take revenge on the two of us was finally expected. He knew that I had been admitted to Nankai University and could no longer play my cards, so he pointed the finger at you. He was the first to stand up and express his determination, and vowed to pat his chest and say, I must mobilize you to Gansu. After the meeting ended, the cripple couldn't wait to take the two street aunts and limped to your house. He didn't care if you agreed or not, he just broke into the living room.

The lame man pretended to say, "Ou Xiaoya, have you participated in political studies recently?" Your first reaction when you see the cripple is that you want to vomit, so the boss says unceremoniously: "What's the matter, just say it straightforwardly, what kind of bend?" The lame man said, "Okay, then let's get straight to the point." As you may have heard, there has been another political movement in the city to go to the mountains and countryside, and every revolutionary youth must actively respond and sign up. ”

A street aunt echoed and said: "Revolution or not, it depends on this moment!" ”

Another street aunt said, "Yes! That's right! It's up to you! ”

You frowned and asked in disgust: "Is it voluntary or forced to sign up to go to the countryside?" The lame man blurted out: "Of course it's voluntary!" You say, "That is to say, the Party's policy is premised on its own volition, so why should you threaten it with revolution or not revolution?" The cripple rolled his eyes and said, "Ou Xiaoya, don't you want to spew blood, are we going to blackmail you?" You unceremoniously asked, "Revolution or not, it depends on the moment, what do you mean?" The lame man said reasonably: "You little intellectuals are too fond of chewing words!" These two aunts are illiterate, and before the liberation, they were like me, they were both bitter and hateful working class, and they had the most simple class consciousness. They have come to mobilize you out of infinite loyalty to Chairman Mao. Don't scratch their braids! You angrily say, "Then I'll tell you plainly, I'm not going to sign up!" ”

The cripple stared at him: "You have to understand, go to the mountains and go to the countryside, this is the call of the great leader Chairman Mao." Every revolutionary youth who loves socialism must respond positively. You sarcastically said, "I heard that your son is also a young man in society, has he signed up?" The lame man couldn't help but be stunned, and said prevaricatingly: "Of course, he ...... He wanted to go, but this time there weren't so many indicators. You say, "Then give him my indicators." ”

That's a relief! The cripple was choked by you and couldn't speak for a while, and in the face of your tough attitude, he had to lead the two street aunts away stupidly. In all fairness, if you hadn't wanted to be admitted to the conservatory of music, you might have dragged me to sign up for the countryside. To this day, I still remember that you once said to me enviously: "Look at Xing Yanzi and Hou Jun, how prosperous they are in Baodi, we can do it too!" "I listened to the tweeter yesterday, and you are still thinking, if you can't go to Beidagang, it's not bad to support the frontier! But as soon as you see the cripple's aggressive look, you don't sign up. You can decide your own destiny, and you can't let the lame man have the final say.

The lame man touched his nose with ashes, how could he give up. If you don't feel the weight of his iron fist, is it still called the security director? In the afternoon, the lame man came to your house again with two street aunts. This time, the cripple changes his offensive strategy, and he bows deeply at you with a smile, which makes you confused. In just a few hours, how could he have changed people?

The lame man seems to be sincere to you: "Miss Ou, I came to apologize to you this time!" In the morning, I came to mobilize you to go to the mountains and go to the countryside, and my attitude was a little blunt. When I went home and thought about it, I really went a little too far. Sign up or not, that's your right, how can I force you? These two street aunts said inappropriate things, not only did I not criticize them, but I also shielded them, where is this still like a security director? That's why I'm here to apologize to you. Miss Ou, my attitude is sincere enough, right? ”

The lame man's words not only make you listen to freshness, but even the two street aunts who accompanied him are also covered with clouds. In the morning, it was still so aggressive, and in the afternoon, it suddenly changed its face, this change is too fast, right?

You warily say, "Hmph, you're not a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken!" The lame man grinned and said, "How so? What is there to doubt about a dignified cadre of a neighborhood committee who knows his mistakes and corrects them? Comrade Ou, I hope you can accept my apology! You deliberately sarcastically said: "Director Ding, it's not me who has to make inches. That time, Bao Jianming and I just sang a Soviet song, and you went online, depriving us of the opportunity to contribute to Yijingli. You say, "Are you doing that in accordance with the party's policy?" The lame man frowned, and quickly relaxed: "Comrade Ou Xiaoya, the biggest political task at present is to oppose and defend repairs, how can you sing the songs of the Soviet Union and repair the country?" However, this is all in the past, so let's not worry about it. You say, "Well, then! Director Ding, after saying so many opening remarks, it's time for us to get down to business! The lame man smiled and said, "I apologize to you, this is the main story, where else is there?" However, I would like to say a few digressions to Miss Ou. You know in your heart that the lame man's so-called digression is the real purpose of his coming to your house, so you smiled indifferently: "Please speak, I'll listen to you!" ”

The lame man tried his best to pretend to be serious and said, "Miss Ou, no, Comrade Ou Xiaoya! Going to the mountains and going to the countryside is the great call of Chairman Mao and the Party Central Committee, and it is also a resounding and hard-hitting political movement. Whether to sign up or not is a matter of attitude. Actually, I also know that you have been pampered since you were a child, and you have never done hard work. If you are asked to go up the mountains and go to the countryside, it will be difficult for you. But the political attitude, we dare not be ambiguous, let alone sloppy, don't you say? In fact, going to the mountains and going to the countryside is not just a sign up for approval, and the leaders of the neighborhood committee still have to discuss and review! Miss Ou, no, it's Comrade Ou Xiaoya! Do you think that's good? You just have to be bold enough to sign up and express your political attitude. When the neighborhood committee discusses and examines you, I'll pull you down again. ”

You said quietly: "Director Ding, I really didn't see it in the past, you are such a reasonable person!" The lame man smiled very happily: "I will see people's hearts for a long time!" You suddenly sank your face, sneered and said: "Chairman Mao taught us to be honest people, tell the truth, and do honest things. How did you teach me to deceive the party and Chairman Mao? If this spreads, you, a dignified cadre and leader of the neighborhood committee, will have to be lively! The smile on the lame man's face disappeared all of a sudden, and he said with a straight face and annoyance: "Ou Xiaoya, I am bitter and give you enough face, you don't take the director of security as a cadre, and the noodles are also food." If you insist on working against the current political movement, I can't help it. ”

The trick used by the lame man did not succeed, so he led the two street aunts and left angrily.

Later, I heard from Huang Shouxin that the reason why Cripple Ding staged such a ridiculous farce was because Aunt Wang put pressure on him. That day, the lame man hit a nail in your house, and when he returned to the office of the neighborhood committee, he shouted that for you, a bourgeois bitch, going to the mountains and going to the countryside is not a question of mobilization or non-mobilization, but that you must be forced to go to the most difficult places to undergo reform, and there is nothing negotiable. Aunt Wang advised him: "In accordance with the spirit of the instructions of the neighborhood party committee, young people in society still adhere to the principle of consciously and voluntarily going to the countryside when they go to the countryside. Whoever engages in coercive orders, and who is responsible for the problem. As soon as the lame Ding heard this, he lost his temper, and even put Aunt Wang on the line, saying that in the face of class struggle, Aunt Wang's banner is not clear. Of course, Aunt Wang was very angry, and questioned the lame Ding on the spot, she was carrying out the instructions of her superiors to the letter, isn't the banner still clear? Then you say, how can it be considered a clear flag? Cripple Ding Zhenzhen said eloquently, your father is a big capitalist, although he is now a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, but the nature of exploitation has not changed, so you can't be soft-hearted. And he also boasted that he was an old worker of the three stones, and in the old society of suffering, he had cultivated a pair of fiery eyes. As soon as the class enemy pouts his ass, he knows what shit to shit. Aunt Wang was angry and warned the lame man that she could mobilize as much as you like, but if she violated the spirit of her superiors and forced Ou Xiaoya, she would ask the neighborhood office to remove the lame man from the Yijingli neighborhood committee. When the lame Ding saw that Aunt Wang was really angry, could he not be stunned? In terms of political foundation, he is not as solid as Aunt Wang; In terms of personnel relations, he is not as extensive as Aunt Wang. If you really want to ask Aunt Wang to grasp something, his title of "security director" is really a bit hanging. In the face of Aunt Wang's momentum, of course he didn't dare to go hard. So as soon as his head turned, he changed his strategy against you. There is a lame man in Yijing as the security director, and you will never turn over.

That afternoon, I was idle, and with my binoculars in hand, I leaned on the window and went to your window to peep. Leng Buding, I was slapped on the head, and when I looked back, it was you. You put on a straight face and say, "Why are you staring at my window all the time?" I was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm looking for a beautiful bodhisattva!" You say, "I came out of my house, and you didn't see it?" I smiled and said, "I looked at the window and forgot to pay attention to the door." Xiaoya, the cripple didn't go to your house to make trouble again, did he? You say, "I've already figured it out, and the next time the lame man comes to my house, don't open the door to him at all, and see how he makes a fuss!" I said, "Let's figure out such a thing first, should we go to the Gansu Construction Corps?" ”

You said angrily: "Go up the mountain and go to the countryside, consciously and voluntarily." Even if you go, it is also to respond to the call of the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao to go to the vast world to make a revolution. Tell the lame to rush to Gansu, that won't be re-education through labor! Don't go! So, without hesitation, I expressed my determination to you: "Good! Your word is the holy decree, and if you don't go, we won't go. However, the lame guy has sores on the top of his head, pus on the soles of his feet, and he is so bad, he can do anything that lacks virtue, and we have to guard against it. I'll give you an idea, don't you have an aunt in Shanghai? You put a stamp on his thigh---- leave and go to the Bund to see the Huangpu River!" You poked my head with your finger: "You pig brain, you still expect you to be a writer!" I'm gone, what will happen to my parents? I was puzzled and asked, "It's not to mobilize your parents to go to the mountains and go to the countryside, what are you afraid of?" You said worriedly: "My father and my mother's unit are working on the four clearances, and you want them to hide their daughter in Shanghai to fight against going to the mountains and going to the countryside?" Bao Zi, I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid that he will go to my parents' unit to make trouble. The last time he hooked me with a hippie smile, I didn't fall for him. This time, he jumped over the wall in a hurry, maybe he really gave me a look! ”

Wow! Why didn't I think the cripple might come up with this trick? That damn cripple is vicious enough. We can't help but be vigilant against this guy. In the past two days, I have been reading the "Sherlock Holmes" novel, and I was simply fascinated by the amazing detective master, and I decided to learn Sherlock Holmes. When I had free time, I ran to the neighborhood committee, ostensibly close to the organization, but in fact I was spying on the lame.

That morning, the cripple had another conflict with Aunt Wang, the reason was to open a letter of introduction, but Aunt Wang just wouldn't open it to him. Listening to their words, the Federation of Industry and Commerce and the Artists Association were mentioned several times. Obediently, your father is in the Federation of Industry and Commerce, and your mother is in the Art Association! Before I could pass on the news to you, I saw the lame man walk out of the neighborhood committee in a rage, ride a creaking broken bicycle, and drive out of Yijingli.

My beauty Bodhisattva, at that time, my family was poor and couldn't afford to buy a bicycle, and every time I went out, I was stained with your light. This time, seeing the lame man riding his bicycle out of the alley, I didn't have time to borrow a car from you, so I had to chase two wheels with two legs. Fortunately, the lame man pedaled the bicycle on one leg, and he couldn't go fast if he wanted to. So, I trotted all the way and followed him closely. But no matter how slow he pedals, it saves me less effort than my two legs! I was so tired along the way that I almost jumped out of my heart. I chased and chased until I reached the door of the Artists Association, and I watched the cripple muttering to the old doorman, and the old doorman asked him to register and let him in. Sensei asked, the old man of the cripple finally couldn't wait to get down!
