Counterattack in the chronology

Time passed day by day, and at the end of October, when Gu Lichun was promoted to section chief, the Gu and Zhao families cheered.

Then, Gu Lichun's four manuscripts were published in the newspaper, and he received two sample newspapers and a manuscript fee of 20 yuan.

Everyone scrambled to circulate the newspaper, and even Wu Fat, who didn't read newspapers, read it with everyone.

Secretary Zhu called Gu Lichun into the office with a smile and encouraged him.

Tian Sanhong and Zhao Zhijun discussed the three things together and invited everyone to dinner on the 6th of next month.

Now, the two families are busy.Zhao's house needs to be repaired, some new furniture needs to be built, and the children of the two families need to add new clothes, and the relatives and friends of the two families need to be notified.

Tian Sanhong called Gu Hongyu to tell her about it, and Gu Hongyu was also happy for her, saying that they may not be able to ask for leave, and the ceremony will definitely arrive if the person is not available.

Gu Lichun planned to pick up his second grandmother, and his uncle also went back to pick up his grandmother.

As for the Zhao family, Zhao Zhijun's younger siblings couldn't come back for the time being, and they were too polite to be around, so they had to invite even more friends.All the cadres from the five farms must be invited, as well as the people from the pig farms, as well as acquaintances from various production teams, and neighbors from the family area.

Gu Lichun was preparing for a treat, when Yang Aiguo called again: "Lichun, I have some good news for you, the straw woven products brought from your farm are selling very well, many foreign businessmen have ordered them, straw hats, sandals, satchels There are also all kinds of gadgets, which are really sold.”

Although Gu Lichun had expected it, he was still pleasantly surprised.

Yang Aiguo started to praise Gu Lichun's well-written articles after talking about the draft work, and said that Deputy Director Nian also saw those articles and praised Gu Lichun severely in front of him.At the same time, Yang Aiguo quietly told Gu Lichun that because of his relationship, he was more important than before.And that Wang Youcai was neglected by Deputy Director Nian after he returned, and sat on the bench. This guy has been very unhappy recently.When Gu Lichun heard that Wang Youcai was unhappy, he was relieved.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Lichun immediately shared the good news of the popularity of straw products with Lao Liang and Zhao Gao, and they were much more excited than him.

Officer Liang expressed admiration: "Xiao Gu, only you can think of this idea. No one on our farm would have thought that foreign businessmen would like things made of straw."

Zhao Gao said triumphantly, "I, Brother Gu, can do anything."

Gu Lichun got the news, so Deng Chang and Secretary Zhu needless to say.

Throughout the whole day, the smile on Secretary Zhu's face never broke. He notified everyone to hold an impromptu meeting.

The meeting room was full of joy, and everyone's faces were filled with excitement.

When Secretary Zhu was happy, he even spoke faster: "Comrades, there is good news. The products of our Honghe Farm are very popular at the Canton Fair, and the Provincial Bureau of Land Reclamation has praised us. We must continue to work hard and not let us down. The organization trusts us."

Everyone crackled and clapped.

Then there was Deng Chang's speech, and his words were more concise: "If there are foreign orders, other department store supply and marketing cooperatives may follow suit. The straw weaving workshop must increase production while ensuring the quality. —— Xiao Gu, you are right What's the plan for this?"

Gu Lichun took the opportunity to make a request: "This is a commodity to be sold to foreign countries. It is related to the dignity of our great country, and it is also related to the image of our socialist camp. There must be no sloppy. We are on the farm. Look at the pattern and mind of the world."

Secretary Zhu listened with bright eyes, nodding his head from time to time in agreement.Deng Chang frowned, patiently listening to Gu Lichun continue to play.

When Gu Lichun said this, he changed the subject: "Of course, we must take a long-term view and act pragmatically. Therefore, I suggest that we increase investment in straw weaving workshops, such as expanding the factory building, increasing the number of high-tech workers, and increasing the qualifications of some technical personnel. treatment to stimulate their enthusiasm for labor.”

Sister Bai was the first to put it forward: "I agree with Xiao Gu's opinion. I think the temporary workers with the best skills in the workshop must be made regular first, and then a group of ingenious family members and employees must be selected for training."

Zhao Zhijun followed up, "I agree with Lao Bai's opinion."

Others also joined in.

Only Lu Jinjin disagreed: "If you do this, don't the big guys say that we are using material to stimulate employees?"

No need for Gu Lichun to end the game, someone retorted first: "Comrade Lu, have you forgotten what Director Nian said? The straw weaving sideline business has nothing to do with the economy, and has nothing to do with material incentives."

Gu Lichun also said: "Yes, Deputy Director Nian said so in public. In addition, who are the family members of the straw weaving workshop? Most of them are lesbians, and a small part are old, weak, sick and disabled. I won't talk about lesbians. Women can hold up half the sky these days. But what about the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled? As a big socialist family, as brothers and sisters of the proletariat, shouldn’t we help them? What we have to do is to improve their labor conditions Please remember, this is what others deserve, not our free help. If we insist on depriving others of the labor treatment they deserve for a certain doctrine, for the sake of so-called dogma, I will doubt whether I am an individual, This is really contrary to my principles as a successor of the socialist revolution.”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Lu Jinjin: "Of course, if some people don't want to be human, I have nothing to say."

Lu Jinjin was so angry that he almost jumped his feet: "Gu Lichun, you are attacking a revolutionary colleague!"

Everyone watching the excitement didn't think it was a big deal, and they were persuading, but they were thinking in their hearts: let's fight each other, and start scolding.

Gu Lichun said in a calm tone: "Comrade Lu, you have to calm down and don't yell. I didn't say that you are not a human being, and I have no right to expel you. What are you excited about? No, you really don’t intend to be a human anymore?”

Lu Jinjin was so angry that he gambled in his chest: "..." He found that Gu Lichun's aggressiveness had become stronger.He dared to call him inhuman directly in front of the leader and everyone.

He looked at Deng Chang and Secretary Zhu with aggrieved eyes, hoping that the leaders could make decisions for him.

Secretary Zhu smoothed things over slowly: "Xiao Lu, the principle of our organization is to have the courage to accept criticism and self-criticism."

As he said that, he turned to Gu Lichun again: "However, Xiao Gu should be gentler when he criticizes his comrades next time."

Gu Lichun accepted the opinion humbly, but he was determined not to change it. He said sincerely: "Comrade Lu, I didn't mean it. I just think that you have not been able to change your mind and improve your consciousness under the influence and teaching of Secretary Zhu for so long. I saw it in my eyes, and I was anxious in my heart. I felt that you were a little terminally ill, and you had a stubborn tumor on your mind. If you have a cancer, you have to go out with a knife. It may hurt, but it really works. Look, you just now Aren't you touched by me?"

Lu Jinjin said in a strange way: "So, I have to thank Comrade Gu for gouging me out with a knife."

Gu Lichun smiled modestly: "They are all comrades in my own family, so you are welcome. If you say that I am not very good at curing ideological diseases, I think Deng Chang is the master of it. You see, I have only been in the field for a year, and I am not very good at treating ideological diseases. The grass was cleared cleanly, which is due to Deng Chang. Seeing that you reacted so strongly to my criticism, I will reflect on it and take it back. I will ask Deng Chang to treat your illness in the future. remove."

Deng Chang didn't know why the focus shifted to his side, he looked at the two silently.

Finally, he said: "That's the end of this question. Anyone who wants to get medical treatment goes to Comrade Gu in private, he is a familiar hand."

Everyone:..."

The dispute between the two was settled, and Lu Jinjin only cared about getting angry, so he hardly had the mood to speak in the next half of the meeting. This also played into Gu Lichun's hands, just to make him so angry that he couldn't speak normally, so as not to cause trouble.

Everyone continued to discuss the matter of the straw weaving factory enthusiastically, and everyone spoke enthusiastically.

Sister Bai: "We have to ensure logistical supplies and recruit and train workers. This cannot be delayed."

Zhao Zhijun: "You're right, our infrastructure department also has to find time to build a new factory building. This is not a small project."

……

When everyone was almost done discussing, Gu Lichun said: "I see, I still need to write another application to request funding from the main site. This is an international project, and we need the guidance and support of the main site."

When the appropriation was mentioned, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all looked at Gu Lichun expectantly: "We know you can do it, so go ahead."

After the meeting, Gu Lichun went back to his office to write the application.

Lu Jinjin was still angry, he waited for everyone to disperse, and followed behind Deng Chang step by step.

Deng Chang stared at him: "Is there something wrong?"

Lu Jinjin: "Deng Chang, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Deng Chang looked at his watch: "I'm very busy, I'll give you 10 minutes."

As soon as the two entered the office, Lu Jinjin couldn't wait to complain: "Deng Zhang, you also saw Comrade Gu Lichun's performance at the meeting, don't you think he has become more and more arrogant since he was promoted to section chief? He’s bombastic, he’s arrogant, which is not a good sign, it’s a sign of a dangerous mind.”

Deng Chang glanced at Lu Jinjin with sharp eyes, and said lightly: "Your observation and summary skills are not good. Is Xiao Gu more and more? He has always been like this. This is his personal style. Otherwise, Woodpecker and Gu How did the nickname Knife come about?"

Lu Jinjin: "..." Is this the key question?

He was stunned for a moment and then said: "But as a revolutionary cadre, this is not good after all? If he still faces the masses with this attitude, what will the masses think of us cadres? Isn't this discrediting the cadres in the audience?"

Deng Chang: "Did he smear you? I think he smeared you."

Lu Jinjin was a little anxious, "Old Deng, why are you talking to Gu Lichun every word?"

Deng Chang looked at his watch impatiently, and said, "I'm looking at you, so stop fighting with him with your IQ and brains, and work hard. It's time."

Lu Jinjin left the office full of shock and humiliation. He didn't go back to the office and found an excuse to go out to work.

An hour later, when Gu Lichun finished writing the application, he handed it to Secretary Zhu for review. When Secretary Zhu saw the dazzling high-end and well-structured nouns and terms, he felt for a moment that he could not keep up with the tide of the times.

Why do the same things become different when they are written by Gu Lichun?

What else could he say but praise and approval?

When the application was delivered to the desk in Deng Chang's office, he was tired of looking at it, and he had to ask Gu Lichun for some new terms.

He said: "I finally understand why we have always failed in grant applications before, because the writing is too poor."

"Send it over, it should be approved."

Gu Lichun was really sent over.

The appropriation has not yet come down, but the work on the straw weaving factory has begun.The first is the issue of Tian Hongjun becoming a full-time worker. Before this, he had been a temporary worker. He was very satisfied with being a temporary worker, but he never expected to become a regular worker.

When Tian Hongjun received the notice, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.He looked at his nephew gratefully, if it wasn't for Li Chun, where would he have such good luck?He is physically disabled and can only get half of the work points in the production team. He dare not dream that one day he can become a regular worker and get a monthly salary of more than 30 yuan.This month's salary can match what he earned in the past year.

Sister Bai admired Tian Hongjun very much, and encouraged him with a smile: "Comrade Tian, ​​do a good job. Take time to go back and reopen the letter of introduction."

Tian Hongjun nodded solemnly: "Okay, Chief Bai."

As soon as Sister Bai left, Tian Hongjun couldn't hold back any longer, took Gu Lichun's hand and said, "Lichun, if your grandma, aunt, and the others know the news, they will be so happy. This time, our family is blessed with three blessings." , I have to go back and tell the whole family."

Gu Lichun smiled and said: "Okay, you can go back when you have time these two days, and bring the whole family."

"Hey, good."

When Gu Lichun left the straw weaving factory, he saw Meng Nianqun waiting for him outside.

"What's the matter?" Gu Lichun asked succinctly.

Meng Nianqun said: "I also want to learn straw weaving, can I?"

Gu Lichun did not object: "You can try it."

He suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, you are no longer a labor camp prisoner. Has the farm ever paid you a salary?" He heard that the second labor camp also has wages, which are similar to temporary workers, and it should be about 20 yuan.

Meng Nianqun shook his head: "The regulations say that there is salary, but I have never seen it. The farm only distributes food stamps every month, and occasionally some clothes and daily necessities."

Gu Lichun said: "Since there are regulations, then there must be. I'll ask for you another day."

There was a gleam of light in Meng Nianqun's eyes, it would be great if he could get his salary.He has too many things to do.

Gu Lichun didn't like to procrastinate, so he went to the finance department to ask about Meng Nianqun's salary after finishing the work.The finance department had no choice but to call the finance department of the head office to inquire. After asking, I found out that there was a regulation in the factory, and people like Meng Nianqun were eligible to receive a salary of 20 yuan a month.It's just that there has been no release for the fourth game, and they have been following the old rules of the fourth game for the fifth game.

Gu Lichun said: "Forget about the previous ones, but starting from this month, I hope that we will play five games according to the rules of the total game. Is this okay?"

Of course the eldest sister of the finance department said no problem.

Meng Nianqun's salary problem was solved in this way, and Lu Jingjing, who had the same status, was with him.

At the beginning of November, Meng Nianqun received his salary for October. When he got excited, he spent three yuan to buy a duck. He made it himself and divided it into three parts. Meng Anjing, Chen Jie, and Gu Lichun each had one part.

Chen Jie ate the duck meat, and said to Gu Lichun, "I can't bear to eat the meal he invited."

Gu Lichun smiled and said, "I am very happy when I eat."

Chen Jie has recently received replies from her classmates one after another. She picked out the parts about Jiang's family and showed them to Gu Lichun, and Gu Lichun picked out useful ones and recorded them down.At this time, he had accumulated a lot of clues about the Jiang family, but it was not enough, and he still lacked important clues that could kill people.

Gu Lichun decided to go back to his family village again, firstly to pick up his second grandmother to attend his mother and Zhao Zhijun's wedding banquet, and secondly to ask Chen Yu about Jiang Mu by the way.

Before Gu Lichun left, Uncle Lu sent someone to say that his cousin Tian Xiaoyu was looking for him.

Gu Lichun's heart moved, Chen Yu came again?

Gu Lichun rode his bicycle to go out, and on the way, he saw Meng Nianqun walking quickly with a half sack of things, apparently going to the post office.

Gu Lichun picked him up on the way, and he asked calmly, "Do you send something to your family? To your mother or your aunt?"

Meng Nianqun was extremely excited when he received his salary for the first time, and he was not on guard against Gu Lichun, so he replied casually: "Send something to my mother and brother, and send the rest to my third aunt. It's going to be tough."

Gu Lichun's handlebars tilted, and both of them swayed, Meng Nianqun suddenly realized that he had slipped the tongue, and hurriedly tried to make up for it: "The third aunt I mentioned is our neighbor's aunt, she used to take good care of us. "

He was afraid that Gu Lichun would chase after him and ask him, so he jumped off the bicycle and said, "You can just send me here, hurry up and do your business, I'll walk."

Gu Lichun called Meng Nianqun to a stop, took out 20 yuan from his pocket, stuffed it into his hand, and said, "Buy some more food and send it to her."

After speaking, he got on his bicycle and left.

Meng Nianqun froze in place, staring blankly at Gu Lichun who was going away, his heart was pounding, he knew it.When did he know?
