Chapter 19 Wish-fulfillment
That afternoon, your mother was called into the office of the Siqing Working Group. At that time, she was being instructed to create a propaganda poster to cooperate with the "Four Cleansing" movement. Team Leader Wang of the Siqing Working Group received your mother very politely.
Your mother sat down opposite Team Leader Wang nervously and asked cautiously, "Team Leader Wang, I haven't passed the inspection yet?" Team Leader Wang smiled slightly, stood up and poured a glass of water for your mother, and said kindly, "Why are you so nervous?" To carry out socialist education, it is not to rectify any individual, but to enhance ideological understanding through criticism and self-criticism, so as to achieve the goal of opposing repairs and defending against repairs. After all, the class enemies who have infiltrated the ranks of the revolution are still a minority, and the vast majority of the cadres are still good! There has already been a serious class struggle in Chinese society, and the capitalist and feudal forces are waging a rampant counteroffensive against the party. If we do not grasp the class struggle, reorganize the revolutionary class ranks, and suppress the arrogance of the counterrevolution, it is inevitable that there will be a nationwide counterrevolutionary restoration, the Marxist-Leninist party will become a revisionist party, a fascist party, and the whole of China will change color. Your mother sat down and nodded, "Yes!" Be! ”
Team Leader Wang's words suddenly changed: "However, when I come to you today, we will not talk about how to carry out the socialist education movement to the end. Your mother breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I will report the creation of the poster to the leader." Director Wang waved his hand, lit a cigarette and said, "No, I won't talk about this." I heard that you have a very beautiful and very talented daughter, what a blessing! Your mother immediately became nervous when she heard this: "Yes, there is a daughter, but it is not as good as you said, very ordinary." Really, very average! Director Wang said slowly: "Mr. Shen, Chairman Mao has long reminded us that imperialism pins its hopes for the restoration of capitalism on our third and fourth generations, and we can't help but be vigilant!" When it comes to children going to the countryside, we as parents have the responsibility to help them have a correct attitude and encourage them to go to the vast world to exercise themselves. I don't think I need to tell you more about this, right? Your mother said mechanically, "...... Yes, I don't need to say more. Team Leader Wang said solemnly: "That's good!" I hope your daughter will not forget to tell me before boarding the train to the west, I will see her off on behalf of the Siqing Working Group! ”
At this time, your mother suddenly understood that the Siqing Working Group was warning her in disguise not to fight against the movement to go to the mountains and go to the countryside. She did not dare to say anything more and reluctantly left the Working Group's office.
In the evening, your father came home, looking a little tired, since the Four Qing Movement, every day your father came back from work, she had to carefully observe his face.
Your father sat on the small sofa and drank coffee and said, "Zihan, the leader has brought me to talk today." Your mother asked worriedly, "Haven't passed the inspection yet?" Your father said depressedly: "Not only did I not pass the test, but I added another article, my personal understanding of going to the mountains and going to the countryside." Your mother jumped up from the couch and looked at your father in amazement and said, "What does it have to do with you going up the mountain and going to the countryside?" ”
In fact, anyone can hear that your mother asked your father like this, which was a kind of struggle in her heart. She knows very well in her heart that going to the mountains and going to the countryside, how can she have nothing to do with her parents? Isn't her daughter the object of going to the mountains and going to the countryside?
Your father sighed and said, "The whole city has set off a craze for going to the mountains and going to the countryside, and the children from bad backgrounds are afraid that this is the only way out." The leader made it very clear that whether the child is willing to go to the mountains and go to the countryside is rooted in his parents. What's even more terrifying is that the leader also asked Xiaoya about the university entrance examination. It seems unintentional, but it is actually intentional! Your mother's brows furrowed, and she asked uneasily: "Could it be that the neighborhood committee has reflected it, they have too many things!" What does it have to do with my children if they can't go up the mountains or the countryside? Your father sat down next to your mother, took one of her hands, and said in a low voice: "Don't underestimate the neighborhood committee, it is an important foundation for grassroots political power in the city. Especially now, the role of neighborhood committees has been magnified, and you dare not underestimate its role. I guess they really put Xiao Ya as a key mobilization target! Your mother was nervous and said, "Oh my God! If they can't get along with us, they have to drum Xiaoya to Gansu, what will they do? Your father said, "When you go to the mountains and go to the countryside, the neighborhood committee has to complete the target." And children from poor backgrounds are the easiest to mobilize. Zihan, when the child is older, let her fly! Your mother said unwillingly: "The party's policy, isn't it voluntary to go to the mountains and go to the countryside?" Your father said that going up the mountain to the countryside is a movement, and when the movement comes, it is like a tsunami that is overwhelming, and no force can stop it. Neighborhood committees, neighborhoods, districts, counties, and even cities can only take coercive measures once they fail to meet their targets. Your mother said anxiously, "Why don't you tell Xiaoya to go out and hide!" ”
Your father shook his head and said, "My wife, how can you have such childish thoughts when you are a person who has experienced many political movements?" A game of chess in the whole country, where did you hide alone in Xiaoya? And how long can that kind of wandering day last? Shinoa is not an object, she is a flesh and blood person! Instead of letting her walk in the shadows of the gray, why not encourage her to face the reality and be a living sunny girl? Your mother took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face, sighed long and said, "It seems that we are no longer able to protect our daughter." But when I thought of Xiao Ya carrying a luggage roll and walking in the barren and desolate land of the Great Northwest, my heart couldn't help twitching for a while! Your father said, "Zihan, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, and look at the clouds in the sky." Everything in the world has its own laws of survival, and only by treating it with a normal heart can we not like it and not worry about it; Don't be shocked by the humiliation, go and stay unintentionally. Even with your children, you should be open-minded. Isn't there an old saying? Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and do not treat children and grandchildren as horses and cattle. Let the children go on their own, and we should not become a stumbling block for the children. Your mother choked up and said, "I understand all these truths, but I can't help myself!" ”
At this time, you came back, and when you saw your parents like that, you couldn't figure out why they were worried about things for a while.
Mom suddenly asked you, "How is the matter of going to Beidagang?" You pouted and said, "What else can you do with the hukou book tied to your trouser belt?" Your mother untied the household registration book from her waist, gently placed it on the coffee table, and said reluctantly, "Oh, take it!" ”
You froze for a moment, and you couldn't believe your eyes. That damn little book on the coffee table, will it be the household registration book you look forward to getting day and night? Yesterday, for the sake of going to Beidagang, my mother was desperately opposed. How did it take just one day to change dramatically? Besides, you're not mentally prepared at all. A big pie suddenly fell from the sky, and it really smashed you. You say, "Mom, I'...... I didn't force you! Mom sighed and said, "Alas, you go, Mom won't stop you." Mom is reluctant, what can I do, it's better to go to Beidagang than to Gansu! ”
You grabbed the household registration book, held it high in the air, and jumped with joy. When you suddenly saw your mother secretly wiping her tears, the joy disappeared again, and you couldn't help but say, "Mom, did it make you sad when I left home?" ”
Mom didn't speak, but wiped her tears vigorously.
Your father smiled and said, "The ugly duckling grows into a white swan, and it will always fly into the blue sky." Mom can't bear you anymore, and she can't tie you to the waistband of her pants! When I went to Beidagang, I was devoting myself to the revolution, why did I become miserable? Xiaoya, is it too late to move your hukou? You say, "It's not too late!" If it drags on tomorrow, then you can only go to the Gansu Construction Corps! Your mother was anxious: "Then what are you waiting for?" Hurry up and do it! Your father said to your mother in a consultative tone: "As soon as the formalities are completed, you can leave." I want to invite Bao Jianming to my home for a light meal and entrust Xiao Ya to him, what do you think? Your mother said, "Hmph, Bao Jianming can't wait!" ”
Your dad couldn't help but laugh. At the beginning, for you to go to Beidagang, he used to be "the first rat at both ends, and there is no difference", but now it can be said that "go with the flow and come naturally". Although your mother's heart is still very entangled, she has to comfort herself. Endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky!
The two of us went to the water park again, and climbed the high dirt mountain hand in hand. Looking at the beautiful lake, it is really refreshing! At this moment, the two of us really had the feeling of a little bird flying out of the cage, and we all made a trumpet shape with our hands, shouting at the lake: "We are free!" "A flock of pigeons swept over the dirt hill and circled over the lake. The buzzing pigeon whistle, echoing under the blue sky, echoed our cries from afar.
We had a day of crazy fun before we reluctantly left the water park. On the way back, I rode my bike and you sat on the back frame. At this time, the sky suddenly fell a drizzle, and the two of us walked in the rain, which was so romantic and comfortable.
"Baozi!"
"Huh?"
"Tell you something."
"Hmm!"
"My mom and dad are going to treat you to dinner."
"Huh? What did you say? ”
I pinched the brakes, only to see the bicycle stop suddenly, shaking you off the car at once, I asked with a look of surprise on my face, "Is this true?" You say, "It's just that I'm just inviting you to a meal, and that's what I'm afraid of?" I smiled and said, "No, it's not scary!" It's so glad to be! So excited! So excited! ”
Remember? When I went to your house, I went back to my house to freshen up and dress up, then put on neat clothes, and went to Daoxiang Village to buy a box of "Big Eight Pieces", and then I entered the courtyard gate of your house.
On the table covered with white tablecloths, there are extraordinarily sumptuous dishes, as well as Tsingtao beer and French dry red. Under the auspices of your mother, a warm family feast is being held. I sat there flattered, looking very reserved. Your father poured me a glass of wine himself, and I was so panicked that I hurriedly stood up, not knowing whether to serve the glass or grab the bottle.
Your father said gently, "Sit down, sit down, I'll pour it for you." ”
I sat down obediently.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, your mother couldn't help but say the right thing with tears in her eyes: "You are about to go to Beidagang, and no matter how unwilling your parents are, they have to let you fly." Bao Jianming, when you arrive in Beidagang, you have to take care of Xiao Ya, when you encounter heavy work, dirty work, and tired work, you have to rush to do it for Xiao Ya, she has never suffered that hardship! I nodded vigorously and said aloud, "Auntie, don't worry! I'm going to do it! Say, "Look what you say." I went to Beidagang, not to visit the oil fields for fun. It was also an organized, disciplined unit. Bao Jianming has done the dirty work and tiring work, so aren't you afraid that I will be beaten by the board? Your dad couldn't help but laugh: "That's it! Young people must have a tiger spirit, dare to go to the moon for nine days, and dare to go down to the five seas to catch turtles. Afraid of hardship and tiredness, what kind of revolutionary youth is that? ”
This meal made me scrambled and a little apprehensive. I didn't dare to eat with an open stomach or drink too much. I took out a hundred times more care, and vigorously entertained the prospective father-in-law and the mother-in-law. When I came home, I felt like a hungry wolf, sweeping away the leftovers. Even you feel strange and fresh, go to a feast, and dare to go home with an empty belly.
The news that the two of us went to Beidagang together soon spread all over Yijing. For this matter, Aunt Wang and the lame man also had a fight. As soon as the lame man stepped into the office of the neighborhood committee, he slapped the table angrily, but shouted loudly: "These two little guys are too cunning!" Aunt Wang said: "If you are cunning or not cunning, you can't slap the table." Besides, Ou Xiaoya had already signed up to go to Beidagang, and she was not running away from going to the countryside. The lame man shouted: "But a bourgeois dog like Ou Xiaoya should be sent to a ghost place like Gansu to suffer, suffer, and reform!" Aunt Wang said angrily: "Hurry up and stop!" Going to the mountains and going to the countryside is a call for revolutionary youth to go to the vast world to show their talents, and it has never been said that it is to punish any person, so you should not distort the party's policy of going to the mountains and going to the countryside! The lame man was unconvinced and said, "But do you know? Shen Zihan was afraid that Ou Xiaoya would be mobilized to the Gansu Construction Corps, so he reluctantly agreed to Ou Xiaoya to go to Beidagang. Aunt Wang was on fire: "What's wrong with going to Beidagang?" There is a team from Daqing Oilfield! Ou Xiaoya threw herself into the arms of the working class, are you also against it? I really doubt your real motive for mobilizing Oshiya to go to the mountains! "The lame man wilted like a deflated ball. He could hear the subtext of Aunt Wang's second aunt, which obviously said that he used the word "revolution" as a signboard to do something capable of retaliation. He didn't dare to argue with Aunt Wang anymore, so he had to leave in disgrace.
