Counterattack in the chronology

Gu Lichun went to the field department office for a few meetings, helped Deng Chang arrange the work, and went to collect his salary by the way.

When he saw the salary slip, he couldn't help but feel happy. 87 yuan, think about last year, his first salary was 18 yuan, which has increased several times within a year.Now his level is the deputy department level, which is 18th level according to the administrative level.It is said that there are a total of 30 administrative levels, and he is in the middle. This year, he is expected to raise another level to the department level.

When he came out after receiving his salary, he happened to bump into Zhao Zhijun. Zhao Zhijun greeted him, "Xiao Gu, you've been very busy recently, and I don't see you often."

Gu Lichun smiled bitterly and said, "It's not because of those two Bodhisattvas, I dare not be careless."

Zhao Zhijun naturally understood who Gu Lichun was talking about, and he smiled: "Don't worry about them too much. When are you free? I'll treat you."

Gu Lichun was surprised and said, "Is there any happy event in your family?"

Zhao Zhijun said: "If you don't have a happy event, you can't treat guests? No, you just got paid, and the autumn harvest is coming again. Please invite a guest to post autumn fat for you."

Gu Lichun readily agreed: "Okay, since I became a cadre, the chances of eating and drinking have decreased significantly, so I will point to you guys to invite me."

Zhao Zhijun teased, "You don't know how to be blessed when you are blessed. You are much better than your superior, Lao Deng. When Lao Deng was not a cadre, few people invited him, and when he became a cadre, no one dared to invite him."

When Gu Lichun heard about Deng Chang's experience, his mood immediately improved a lot.Sure enough, happiness is produced by comparison.

They were talking when Sister Bai and Section Chief Zhang passed by them.

Sister Bai jokingly said: "Okay, Lao Zhao, I can hear you making arrangements for Deng Chang. If you don't invite me for this meal, I will leak the matter."

Section Chief Zhang also threatened to sue with a smile, and Zhao Zhijun hurriedly said, "All right, both of you come."

The two knocked on Zhao Zhijun's meal and left happily.

In the end, the guest list was roughly finalized, including two from the logistics department, two from the production department, and Lu Jinjin from the supply and marketing department.

As soon as Lu Jinjin saw Gu Lichun, he said, "Comrade Gu, why do I feel that you are avoiding me recently?"

Gu Lichun wondered, didn't he often appear on the scene?How did it make him disappear for a long time.

Zhao Zhijun patted Lu Jinjin on the shoulder: "Xiao Lu, what's wrong with you, you don't feel well if you don't get scolded for a few days?"

Lu Jinjin was speechless.

Zhao Zhijun said to Gu Lichun again: "The date is set for this Sunday. Everyone just rests, and the children are also at home. My uncle's family, plus your whole family, all come."

Gu Lichun nodded in agreement, and then the two began to discuss what to eat, how to eat and where to eat.

Originally, Zhao Zhijun wanted to invite him at home, but when he thought of staying at home, he would have to trouble Gu Lichun's mother, and there were so many people, it was not convenient at home.

He thought for a while and said, "The location is still at the pig farm. It's spacious and has a ready-made cook."

Zhao Zhijun then asked Gu Lichun what is the most suitable food for this season, Gu Lichun said: "Last time I ate mutton, this time I changed it to a different kind, the duck is getting fatter, how about we eat roast duck?"

Zhao Zhijun glanced at him: "Do you know how to bake?"

Gu Lichun smiled and said, "You can learn it if you don't know it, but the roast duck oven will trouble you."

When Gu Lichun explained his request, Zhao Zhijun said confidently: "It's not difficult, I'll get it done after work at night."

Gu Lichun took an inch and said, "Uncle Zhao, the autumn harvest will be here soon, I guess I have to build a temporary canteen in the field, you can bring someone to build a few more pots and stoves, and get a few yellow mud stoves for making scones. The big belly, the kind with a stove mouth underneath, can stick a dozen pancakes at once, and it tastes delicious after baking."

After Zhao Zhijun got off work, he took a few skilled workers to build a roast duck oven and a pancake oven, while the pig farm workers were watching.

The roast duck stove is built of bricks, with yellow mud inside, and a simple door made of broken iron sheets.The sesame seed oven is even simpler, that is, it is broken and turned into a round furnace with yellow mud, and there is a stove below, and the sesame seed can be pasted on the inner wall.

After building the stove, Zhao Zhijun led his men to repair the earthen stove used during the wheat harvest, re-covered the rest shed with thatch, and built several rectangular earthen platforms with earthen embryos as tables, surrounding the The table has a circle of small square soil platforms used as stools.It's hot now, so let it dry for a few days.

Gu Lichun was very satisfied when he came to inspect, and praised repeatedly: "Uncle Zhao, you are indeed a professional, and your hands-on ability is much better than that of us young people."

Zhao Zhijun said: "You must be close to doing this kind of work."

After get off work in the cafeteria in the evening, Gu Lichun took Tian Sanhong over and asked her to watch the roast duck oven and pancake oven with Chen Jie and Meng Nianqun. Oven biscuits.

Tian Sanhong looked at the stove and the mud platform, and couldn't help but praise: "Your Uncle Zhao's craftsmanship is really good."

Gu Lichun echoed, "Indeed."

It was a normal conversation at first, but when Wu Pang heard that even Aunt Tian praised Zhao Zhijun, he continued in a strange manner: "Aunt Tian, ​​these jobs are nothing, even people like my father can do them. This is what a man should do." of."

Zhao Zhijun's voice suddenly sounded behind them: "Wu Fatty, are you sure your dad really knows how to do it?"

Fatty Wu: "..."

Gu Lichun turned his head and looked at Zhao Zhijun: "Uncle Zhao, I thought you were home."

Zhao Zhijun raised the lunch box in his hand: "I just went to get lunch."

Zhao Zhijun stood next to them, and Gu Lichun noticed that Wu Fatty had become more honest, it was really a drop of everything.

"Do you have any suggestions for this stove? If it doesn't work, I'll change it."

He obviously said this to Tian Sanhong, Tian Sanhong shook her head quickly: "No need to change, everything is fine."

Zhao Zhijun did not publicize the treat this time, but many people still knew about it.

Soon it was Sunday, early in the morning, before dawn, Zhao Zhijun and Wu Pang went to the swamp to catch ducks in person, and bought seven ducks at one go, at three yuan each.

After the ducks were bought back, Zhao Zhijun slaughtered the ducks by himself, plucked the ducks, and cleaned the internal organs.Tian Sanhong said beside him: "Old Zhao, let me leave it there."

Zhao Zhijun took the opportunity to say, "Although I'm not very good at cooking, I still like to cook and do housework."

Tian Sanhong: "..." She didn't ask these questions.

Zhao Zhijun handed the processed duck to Tian Sanhong, and went out to add charcoal to the oven.

Chen Jie and Meng Nianqun are better at cooking roast duck than Tian Sanhong. They follow Gu Lichun's prompt, recall the taste of the roast duck they ate before, and practice step by step.

"Chop the duck from the middle of the belly, chop off the duck feet, so as not to burn it."

"Put the onion, ginger and seasonings on it to marinate, and use a knife to make a few small slits on the duck, so that it tastes good."

While talking, the two marinated the seven ducks in a large basin. In order to better taste, they kept rubbing the ducks with their hands.After that, it has to be marinated for several hours, and the roasting will start at noon, so the marinating time is not enough.However, everyone obviously didn't care.

After marinating, hang it up to dry for a while. Gu Lichun said that only in this way can a crispy roast duck be made, but I don't know if it is true.

At 12 o'clock in the noon, the two people took the marinated duck into the oven. The duck they raised was not too big, and the fire was strong. It was ready to roast for about 50 minutes.

When they were making roast duck, Tian Sanhong and Tian Hongjun were making sesame seed cakes. The roast duck was not yet cooked, but the sesame seed cakes were cooked first. The smell of burnt noodles wafted all over the yard, and people surrounded them.

When the first batch of biscuits came out, Tian Sanhong distributed them to a few salivating children.

She instructed: "Be careful that it's hot, let it cool down before eating."

Zhao Mingguang and Zhao Minghua were obedient and obediently waited for a while before eating, but Lidong, who was impatient, didn't care about it. He picked it up and began to bite, it was so hot that he sucked his mouth, and was scolded by his mother as a glutton.

When the third batch of biscuits came out of the pan, the roast duck was almost roasted, and the rich and enticing aroma of duck covered up the smell of the biscuits, causing people to sniff their noses frequently.

Gu Lichun came over to make an inspection, and asked people to take out the roast duck first, brush it with a layer of ingredients made with honey, and then put it in to roast for a while. , all of them couldn't move their feet.

Those educated youths said: "Brother Gu, you are too unkind, you always tempt and seduce us. Can we raise money to buy some ducks to roast?"

Gu Lichun smiled and said, "No problem, I can lend you the stove."

So the educated youths quickly gathered together to discuss raising funds. They bought ten ducks. There was a division of labor among these people. Some were in charge of catching ducks, while others were in charge of handling the ducks. Then they picked out a few with strong learning ability to learn how to make roast ducks from Chen Jie and Meng Nianqun. .Of course, even if they make it right, they can't eat it until dinner.

The educated youths are still making roast duck, and Gu Lichun and the others have already started eating it. The duck meat is sliced, served with shredded green onion and cucumber strips, dipped in sauce, rolled with thin noodles, and some people directly put the duck meat in it. In the biscuits, it tastes full of fragrance.Uncle Lu brought wine as usual. There was wine and meat, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Gu Lichun took two photos when the roast duck came out of the oven, and another two before eating.

Zhao Zhijun didn't know what was wrong with him, so he asked curiously, "Why do you still take pictures after eating?"

Gu Lichun said with a smile: "The ducks in our five rounds will be able to play after autumn. These photos are for publicity."

Sister Bai at the side praised: "Little Gu's brain is just so good, we never thought of this at all."

When Lu Jinjin heard that they all praised Gu Lichun, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only bury his head and eat.

Everyone was eating well, and someone was poking around outside. Gu Lichun went out to have a look, and saw Wang Tie and Jinfa.

The blond smiled and said: "Comrade Gu, what are you doing? The smell is really delicious."

Gu Lichun saw that these two people were ulterior motives, so he went in to ask Zhao Zhijun's opinion, Zhao Zhijun said indifferently: "It's up to you."

Gu Lichun warmly invited the two of them to eat together. The two of them came here to have a casual meal, but after a little refusal, they followed in.

As soon as they came in, everyone's conversation stopped abruptly, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

Gu Lichun hurriedly smoothed things over for them: "Everyone, Comrades Jin and Comrades Wang are worthy of being the leaders of our revolutionary cause. This is a beautiful turnaround, and I warmly welcome the two of you to join us here." As he spoke, he took the lead and applauded.

The big guys don't understand Gu Lichun's operation, but they feel vaguely familiar.They hesitated for a moment and then applauded.

Only then did Blonde and Wang Tie's expressions soften a lot.

As the host, Zhao Zhijun had to show that he invited them to sit down and eat together.

The blond hair was a little reserved, and Wang Tie looked like a hungry wolf when he came to the table.

Gu Lichun felt that he had underestimated the appetite of the two of them, so he went out to discuss with his uncle, and brought up two roast chickens.

They had dinner late, and everyone chatted while eating. This meal lasted until evening. Gu Lichun saw it, and he simply made two meals together, and asked people to use duck racks to boil the soup, and then added a few more dishes. is a meal.

Everyone enjoyed the two meals. Jinfa and Wang Tie drank a few glasses of wine, and Gu Lichun made them dizzy and couldn't find their way.

"Brother Jin, Brother Wang, once you come to lead five games, you will definitely be able to mobilize the enthusiasm of the masses."

"Don't newspapers often mention unified leadership? I think this is the concrete manifestation of unified leadership."

"You two went to the front line of production, starting from the height of consolidating the dictatorship of the proletariat. This is of great significance."

Where did the two of them hear such high-end and high-end sentences, and where did they hear such high-level compliments that were tailored for them? , Don’t worry, our two brothers will definitely take you to fight a turnaround, and let them all take a look.”

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, unable to hide their shock.Weren't they still strangled before?Why did it change all of a sudden?

Gu Lichun explained in a low voice with a smile: "The struggle situation is complex and changeable, and we must skillfully use various methods."

Jinfa and Wang Tie were drunk, Gu Lichun and Xiaokang personally helped them back, and carefully told Jinfa on the way: "Old Jin, you are good everywhere, but it is a pity that you have such a head, you must insert it when you go back at night." Don't come out if you have nothing to do. Xiao Sun is still in the pig farm, I can control him during the day, but not at night."

The blond was startled with fright, half sober from the wine.

After the two returned to the dormitory, they were really honest.

When Gu Lichun returned to the pig farm, all the guests left.Seeing that the light in the kitchen was still on, he went in to have a look.Inside, only Meng Nianqun was still tidying up the kitchen. He was putting some leftover roast duck meat and vegetables into the biscuits when he suddenly heard someone coming in. He couldn't help but panic, and he regained his composure when he saw that it was Gu Lichun.

Gu Lichun pointed to the cupboard with his mouth: "There's still half of it in there, let's have it for supper, so as not to spoil it."

A warm feeling welled up in Meng Nianqun's heart, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he just said "Hey", which was regarded as a reply.

When Gu Lichun was about to leave, he said casually, "The blonde Wang Tie and those two guys really slept like hell."

Meng Nianqun felt relieved, he stared at Gu Lichun's back in a daze, until he walked out of the gate of the yard, then looked away, and hastened the movements of his hands.

Meng Nianqun sneaked into the dormitory of the labor reform team with his things, found Meng Anjing, stuffed the things into his arms, turned around and left without stopping.

Meng Anjing found a secluded corner, looked at the things inside, smelled the smell, and looked surprised.He didn't eat alone, and shared the roast duck with Lao Yuan and Professor Lin. Professor Lin only took a bite and planned to keep it for his wife, Professor Guan. Unexpectedly, Professor Guan already had it, saying that someone gave it to her and Chen Ping.

Professor Lin took it back again. He sniffed the aroma of the roast duck, and couldn't help crying: "It's been several years, and I can eat roast duck here. I remember that the roast duck in Beijing is not cheap, 6 yuan a piece."

Lao Yuan smiled and corrected: "You can only buy half of one for 6 yuan, and a whole one for 12 yuan."

Professor Lin said: "Yes, I have a bad memory."

After the three of them finished eating the roast duck, they left it outside for a while before quietly returning to the dormitory.But as soon as they came back, Quan Hai kept sniffling, "Hey, what did the three of you steal? It tastes so delicious."

Old Yuan said calmly: "What else can it taste like? The pig farm makes roast duck. I can't eat it. Go and smell it. What is it called? 'Chew after passing through the butcher'."

Quan Hai was dubious, he turned his eyes to Meng Anjing: "Old Meng, I heard that your son is working as a handyman in the kitchen, did you save some for you?"

Meng Anjing shook his head: "They don't have enough food for themselves, so how can it be his turn? Don't think about it, you just want to eat meat and feel dazed, go to sleep now."

The dormitory soon fell into silence, but Quan Hai couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning. The next morning, he took the opportunity to go to the blond Wang Tie to file a complaint, exposing Meng Anjing, Lao Yuan and the others for stealing roast duck.

Wang Tie stared at Quan Hai for a while, then said with disdain: "You bastard, you won't even file a complaint. Yesterday we were at the banquet, and the big guy even drank the soup from the duck shelf. How can the leftover roast duck let you go?" People steal."

Quan Hai was in disbelief, the blond stared at him in disgust, and cursed: "Get out of here, if I'm in a good mood, I'll definitely beat you up." Quan Hai fled back in embarrassment.

Professor Meng Anjinglin and the others heard that Quan Hai was going to sue, and they kept worrying. Only Lao Yuan remained calm and composed. When the two asked, Lao Yuan said: "Just let this guy go and test it. It’s good to have a score in my heart.”

The results of the inspection came out soon, and when everyone looked at Quan Hai's disheartened expression, they knew that his complaint was unsuccessful.Everyone is in a good mood, and the dormitory is full of happy air.

After breakfast, Sun Houyu and Zhao Jianli came to tell them the precautions for autumn harvest.

"The autumn harvest will officially start tomorrow. Unless the doctor proves that the team members are sick or there is an emergency, the rest will not be allowed to ask for leave, and they will not be absent from work without reason. Work starts at 7 o'clock every day and ends at 8 o'clock in the evening. The three meals in the morning, lunch and evening are on the ground. Please remember to bring your own lunch boxes.”

When the reform-through-labor team members lined up in the field, the rest of them also arrived one after another.

He and the educated youth were not dispersed into the various production teams below, but formed a separate team, which was named "Revolutionary Youth Advance Team" by Gu Lichun, and he himself led the team.

When everyone was here, Gu Lichun said: "Next, I will announce the new rules and policies for this year's autumn harvest."
