Counterattack in the chronology

Chapter 124 Congratulations

In the evening, when Gu Lichun came home, he happened to take out the dishes for everyone to eat.

It's a pity that Tian Sanhong couldn't smell the fishy smell, and felt a little nauseous. In order not to affect everyone's appetite, she hurriedly found an excuse to go out.

Gu Lichun looked at the back of her leaving in a hurry, thoughtfully, and turned his head to look at Zhao Zhijun.

He wanted to ask directly, but felt it was not good to be in front of his younger siblings, so he got up and said, "Uncle Zhao, let's go to the door to get some air."

Zhao Zhijun stood up and followed Gu Lichun outside. Gu Lichun glanced at him: "What's the matter with my mother?" "

Zhao Zhijun's voice was full of restrained joy and pride: "It should have been, but I didn't tell you until it was confirmed. Your mother made an appointment with Chen Jie to go to the hospital for an examination tomorrow, but I stopped her and I took her there."

Zhao Zhijun continued: "I hope this baby is a daughter. I have always wanted a daughter. Look how cute Xiaoman and Xiaoyu are."

Gu Lichun's mood was a little complicated. Anyway, he was more surprised than happy, so he could only say: "Congratulations, you are going to be a new father."

Zhao Zhijun reciprocated: "Congratulations too, you're going to be an older brother again."

The two stared at each other.

At this moment, Tian Sanhong came back. As soon as she saw her son's expression, she knew that he had already found out. something unexpected.

Gu Lichun was more worried about Tian Sanhong's health, so he said: "Mom, you are an advanced mother, will it be bad for your health?"

Tian Sanhong said with a smile: "It's nothing bad, it's okay for those who are older than me to have children in our village."

"Go to the hospital tomorrow and ask carefully about the precautions. You will work less in the future, less angry, and take good care of your baby."

Zhao Zhijun quickly said: "The work at home belongs to me."

Everyone returned to the dinner table to continue eating.

Tian Sanhong only ate two pieces of baked potatoes and pumpkin pie.The roasted pig's trotters and grilled fish were distributed to several children, and these two dishes were warmly welcomed by the children.

Lidong said: "Brother, who grilled this fish? It's delicious. I go fishing on Sunday, and we grill it like this."

Xiaoman said: "I guess either Sister Chen or Brother Meng baked it, and they are the best at cooking."

The children huddled together and discussed enthusiastically.

Zhao Zhijun looked at Tian Sanhong worriedly and said: "Your reaction is a bit serious, it's okay if you can't eat nutritious food. Why don't you ask the cafeteria for leave, and I'll take you to the city hospital directly. generally."

Tian Sanhong said disapprovingly: "It's normal to not be able to eat in the first three months of pregnancy. What kind of reaction is this? When I was pregnant with the first four children, I was about to give birth and went to work in the fields. I wasn't so delicate."

Gu Lichun said: "Mom, I didn't pay attention to the conditions in the past, but now I have to pay more attention to the conditions. If you are tired, rest and don't force yourself. At worst, you can tell the cafeteria to find a temporary worker to replace you first."

Zhao Zhijun also agreed with Gu Lichun's opinion.

Tian Sanhong hurriedly said: "I got this job so easily, why did I find someone to replace me? No way. Your sister Zhou and Xiao Wei are very nice, and they offered to help me share the burden. I'm fine."

Zhao Zhijun had no choice but to say: "Sanhong, didn't you agree that I would support the family? My salary alone is enough to support our family."

Tian Sanhong's education level is limited, and she can't describe that feeling with accurate words. Anyway, she feels that she has a job that is different from before, and she feels more confident.

She said, "Zhijun, it's not a matter of salary or not. I just feel at ease when I have a job."

The three of them were talking, when Xiaoman came up to them at some point and joined their conversation: "Mom, I understand what you mean. I heard from Deputy Secretary Gao that she said that if a woman wants to hold up half the sky, she has to be with her." Men participate in labor and work equally, and work harder than men."

Xiaoman's ideal is to be a cadre, and her role models are female cadres like Sister Bai and Deputy Secretary Gao.Usually, he would go to their side whenever he had the opportunity, and occasionally he could learn a sentence or a sentence, and he would use it when he came back. He talked like a kid, and sometimes Gu Lichun couldn't help laughing when he heard it.

Gu Lichun deliberately inspired Xiaoman: "Deputy Secretary Gao is right, but no matter who it is, you have to look at the problem with a dialectical and critical eye, and you can't believe it all." The brainwashing of this era is too strong, he wants to try To teach my sister to think independently.

Xiao Man didn't understand, so he asked, "Then what is a dialectical and critical perspective?"

Gu Lichun inspired her step by step: "Just don't believe anything easily, you have to use your brain to think, think about this person's standpoint, think about why he said that? Is it true? Is there anything I need to add? What? Where do you need to refute? If you don’t understand, you can ask others, or you can read books to find the answer yourself.

For example, this sentence, women can hold up half the sky, and lesbians should participate in work like men.Women are the same as men intellectually. It is absolutely no problem to do intellectual work on par with men, but what about physical strength?There is a gap in physical strength between men and women. We must admit this objective gap, and we cannot ignore the actual physical condition and insist on being the same as men.Also, since everyone does the same job, do they have to be treated the same?But in some places, men and women are the same only when they are working, and when it comes to wages and political treatment, men and women are different.This is a big problem in the future, and you will try to solve it after you become a cadre. "

The situation Gu Lichun mentioned was more obvious in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. I heard that some lesbians worked in cold water during their menstruation in order to prove that they were just like men.It's slightly better now, but it's still the case.He just wanted to tell Xiaoman not to sacrifice himself blindly because of any doctrines and slogans.Don't trust anyone's words, trust your own judgment, so as not to be puaed by a clever scumbag in the future.

Xiaoman seemed to understand something, but she didn't fully understand it. She frowned and thought hard.

Zhao Zhijun glanced at Gu Lichun, and said, "How old is Xiao Man, so you just tell her these things?"

Gu Lichun said earnestly: "Education should start from the baby."

Gu Lichun didn't expect a child of Xiaoman's age to understand it as soon as he heard it. Education must be subtle.

He encouraged Xiaoman: "This is a big problem, and you won't be able to figure it out in a short time. You can think about the problem and study. Well, continue to eat."

Xiaoman was thinking about the problem while eating quietly.

Tian Sanhong insisted on continuing to work, Zhao Zhijun and Gu Lichun respected her choice.

Since then, there have been a few more voluntary handymen in the canteen. The older children, Lixia, Lidong, Xiaoman, and Zhao Mingguang, took turns to help out in the back kitchen after school. Zhao Zhijun also went to the back kitchen to work in his spare time.He is not good at cooking, but he has great strength, and he has an advantage in carrying pots and spoons.

During the meal, Zhao Zhijun was still helping out at the cafeteria window.

At noon that day, Uncle Lu went to cook. When he saw Zhao Zhijun cooking at the window, he couldn't help but be taken aback. Then he asked directly, "Did you cook this meal? If you cook, I'll cook at another window."

Zhao Zhijun stared angrily: "No matter what I do, I can cook better than you, right?"

Uncle Lu said seriously: "That's not necessarily true. Your cooking skills are inherited from your mother, so you can be much better than me."

Zhao Zhijun was too angry to speak.

The people in line winked and smiled at each other.

In the end, it was Tian Sanhong who came out to refute the rumors: "Uncle, don't worry about cooking, the three of us cook the rice, and Zhijun is only in charge of doing chores to help."

Hearing this, Uncle Lu was relieved, and so were the others.

Sometimes Gu Lichun would go to help when he was free at noon. At this time, the big guy had a different attitude.

"Comrade Xiao Gu, which dish did you cook yourself? I must try it."

"Comrade Gu, I'm sorry to ask you to cook for us."

When it was Uncle Lu's turn, he asked with a smile, "Did you cook this dish? If you did, I'll order more."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhijun looked at Uncle Lu and the others with cold eyes.

……

After autumn, the weather is getting cooler and cooler.After the winter wheat is sown, the farm has entered the winter slack season, and everyone's workload has been greatly reduced.

It was rare for Gu Lichun to relax, and he noticed that he was beginning to gain weight, and the reason was very strange.Because of Tian Sanhong's pregnancy, everyone agreed to cancel the family breakfast and lunch so that she could rest more.The whole family goes to the cafeteria to have breakfast and lunch, and everyone helps make dinner together.

Gu Lichun didn't think it was bad at first. After the canteen of the five games underwent some reforms, the taste of the food can be counted among the audience.

But when Meng Nianqun heard about it, he took the initiative to take his breakfast and lunch.

Ever since he had the recipe provided by Gu Lichun, Meng Nianqun seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and he often cooked in different ways, and there were many kinds of breakfast alone.

Today is scallion pancakes, tomorrow is fried buns, and the day after tomorrow is fried dough sticks.

This morning, he made carrot and potato shredded burritos and eight-treasure porridge. For the convenience of carrying, the eight-treasure porridge was packed in a bamboo tube with a lid on top and a wooden spoon inside.Breakfast was not only for Gu Lichun, but also for Chen Jie.

Gu Lichun went to find Chen Jie with burritos and porridge. Chen Jie was pleasantly surprised. At this time, the two of them were sitting at the door of the office, eating burritos and porridge.

Chen Jie joked while eating the cake: "Do you know who is the most married gay man in the women's dormitory meeting?"

Gu Lichun looked surprised: "Are you still talking about this topic?" He thought young people in this era were very conservative.

Chen Jie said with a smile: "What everyone said in private, of course, is not the original words. The original words are 'who do you think are the most suitable revolutionary partners to make progress and study together'."

Gu Lichun pointed to himself: "With me?"

Chen Jie nodded with a smile: "You rank first, and Meng Nianqun is also in the top ten. If it weren't for his identity, he might be ranked even higher."

Gu Lichun was not surprised by Meng Nianqun's ranking. He is handsome, good at cooking, good at cooking, and has a good temper.

Regarding his own ranking, he was a little surprised. He laughed at himself: "It's a pity that I have such a high ranking. I have already made up my mind to be a bachelor honorably for the revolutionary cause."

Chen Jie was a little puzzled: "For the sake of the revolutionary cause, it's not necessary to be single?"

The two were talking, and it happened that Secretary Zhu Dengzhang, Sister Bai and others came to work.

After hearing Gu Lichun's words, Secretary Zhu persuaded: "Little Gu, you are different from others. When others hit single, it is for the benefit of lesbians. If you hit single, it is the loss of lesbians."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, knowing who Secretary Zhu was referring to

As an "other", Deng Chang smiled meaningfully, and sure enough, his hunch was right.

Zhao Zhijun's focus was on the breakfast in Gu Lichun's hands, "Little Gu, your living standard has improved again." He managed to follow him to eat egg-filled pancakes, but the other party changed to potato shredded pancakes, even The porridge is served in bamboo tubes.

Gu Lichun stood up and said: "Breakfast was invited by someone else." In the future, I will not eat breakfast at the office door, which will easily attract people's envy.

Gu Lichun returned to the office of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department, finished eating the burrito, and started working.

A lot of work in the five farms has also begun to enter the final stage. The last crop of alfalfa has been harvested, dried and shipped to the province and the capital; male geese, male ducks, goose eggs and duck eggs in the swamp are also shipped to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the city. Immediately afterwards, the payment for the straw weaving factory and the non-staple food factory was also settled.

Four sums of money entered the account, and the accounts of the five games were unprecedentedly rich.The staff in the finance department are full of enthusiasm, and the other departments are similar. The situation is very good, and everyone is more motivated.

During the meeting, the atmosphere in the conference room was harmonious, and there were fewer disputes, and the departments and departments got along very harmoniously.

This made Lu Jinjin very uncomfortable.Why did it become like this?The Supply and Marketing Department is a very important department no matter which branch it is in, but in the fifth field, the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department, which was supposed to be marginally unpopular, has become a favorite?It is said that the young people in Wuchang are asking whether the Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry is still recruiting?Some people in the Supply and Marketing Department also inquired, but what they asked was that if the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department does not recruit people, they should go to the Supply and Marketing Department to occupy the land first, so that it will be convenient for them to level up later.

After hearing this, Lu Jinjin just wanted to curse people, everything is messed up, what kind of world is this?

He came here for five games with a clear purpose. What he wanted was the position of Deng Chang's secretary, and the future deputy director or even the position of five game directors.Now it seems that the goal is getting farther and farther away from him.Lu Jinjin was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. Perhaps, he needed a foreign aid?

This is a summary meeting. Not only the cadres of various departments, but also representatives of major production teams and representatives of educated youths came to the meeting.

After the two leaders made speeches and summaries, it was time for everyone to discuss.

Different from the tense and verbal confrontation in the past, the topic of today's discussion is very single.

The representative of the production team asked: "Secretary Gu, can you think of a way to improve the production level of our production team? Find ways out for our members."

The representative of the educated youth asked: "Chief Gu, our educated youth are very satisfied with everything you have done for us, but we still have some ideas, that is, can our library be expanded? Is our spiritual life Can it be enriched? Can we female educated youths want to form an amateur art team?"

Other representatives also spoke one after another.

Among the ten problems, seven were addressed to Gu Lichun, the remaining two were addressed to Gu Lichun after being approved by the leader, and the last one was something he couldn't solve.

Gu Lichun was too busy to talk, and Lu Jinjin panicked, watching the excitement with his hands.

Seeing this, Secretary Zhu felt sorry for Gu Lichun, and persuaded from the side: "Everyone, don't worry, come one by one. We can't finish the discussion this time, so we can talk about it next time."

Deng Chang also spoke: "Xiao Gu writes down the questions first, and we will discuss and discuss them one by one later. Most of the questions cannot be answered on the spot."

Everyone heard the same thing, how could some questions be answered on the spot?

The heat of the discussion finally subsided, and Gu Lichun was finally able to catch his breath. Someone handed him a glass of water, and Gu Lichun took it and drank it.After drinking it, he realized that it was delivered by Deng Chang. He sincerely showed a flattered expression.

After drinking the water, Gu Lichun breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "As for the development of each production team, this situation is too complicated. After all, the situation of each production team is different. We have to formulate a plan that suits local conditions and varies from person to person." No investigation I have no right to speak', I have to lead our cadre team to conduct on-the-spot surveys and scientific demonstrations, and finally brainstorm and choose the best solution. Don’t worry. We will come one by one.”

Hu Dahua said quickly: "Secretary Gu, you can use our team as a pilot production team, and all our team members will actively cooperate with you."

The representatives of the other production teams quit and rushed to the field to grab people: "We can do it too."

Gu Lichun smiled and pressed his hands down: "Don't worry, come one by one. This is not a cafeteria meal, the sooner you arrive, the better."

A meeting lasted for an hour and a half, and Gu Lichun was dizzy from the noise.

After the meeting, he was afraid that everyone would drag him to continue the discussion, so he went directly into Deng Zhang's office.I don't believe that you dare to follow in, as expected, few people dare to come in.

Deng Chang on the opposite side: "Come here to hide from the limelight?"

Gu Lichun resolutely refused to admit it: "No, I'm here to listen to the leadership's teachings and report on my work."

Deng Chang: "Alright then, you continue to report."

Gu Lichun reported on his work for 10 minutes, drank tea for 20 minutes, and came out slowly after everyone had dispersed.

As soon as Lu Jinjin saw Gu Lichun staying in Dengchang's office for half an hour, he felt very uncomfortable. He said righteously: "Comrade Gu, you have been reporting to work for too long. The time of the leader is very precious. Let's do it." Subordinates should pay attention to propriety."

Gu Lichun looked at Lu Jinjin and said with a smile: "Comrade Lu, this is not a question of whether time is precious or not, it is your own speaking level that still has room for improvement."

Lu Jinjin: "..."

Gu Lichun said earnestly: "Lao Lu, you should take care of yourself. Your parents didn't have the foresight to name you this name." After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry.

Although there is a lot of income in the five games, there are also a lot of places to spend money. Among other things, the two dormitory buildings alone cost a lot of money.Not to mention that there will be a few big expenses after the Chinese New Year is over.But no matter what, everyone's life this year is much better than last year, and everyone is beaming.

Some families are happy and some are sad, and now the blonde is both happy and sad.The joy is that after being a bachelor for more than 20 years, I can finally marry a wife.The certificates of both of them have been typed, and there is no obstacle to marriage.

Because of Gu Lichun's help, the Revolutionary Committee was not scolded for not doing enough, but was praised by the leaders, asking them to make persistent efforts and continue to break into the enemy's interior.For this, Wang Tie and Jinfa only had one word: "Submit."

The two also asked Gu Lichun for advice on this matter: "Is it true that for a leader, you can only talk about bragging, and you don't need to do anything?"

Gu Lichun pondered for a moment, and answered seriously: "Some can, some can't, such as Deng Zhang, working under his hands, you still have to work hard, and you have to do better than others."

The two understood immediately.They suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Gu Lichun, so the one who can brag still had to work in the end.

There are a lot of happy things for the blonde, but troubles also follow.He felt that he was married, so he wanted to apply to the field office for a house, even if it was a small one.But the population of the farm is increasing, and the houses are still the same as before. There are too many monks and too little food, which is not enough.What's more, Jinfa is neither a cadre nor a model worker, and he can't get his turn in the queue.

The thought of the two of them having to squeeze into the dormitory after getting married made the blond feel depressed.

He drooped his head and said listlessly: "Comrade Gu, when do you think the two of us will get a house?"

Gu Lichun looked at the blond hair. As far as he knew, there were not a few people like him on the farm.There is no shortage of space on the farm, but there is a shortage of money to build a house.

He tentatively said, "Comrade Blonde, I have deep sympathy for you. How about I vacate the office for the two of you?"

Blonde said: "That's not a common practice. Besides, if you leave it to us, where do you go to work? Oh, life is really hard. I went to the field office, and the person in the field office said that I am not the only one in this situation, please be patient. Wait, the question is when to wait."

Gu Lichun suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he already had a general outline in his mind. He asked, "Comrade Blonde, if there is a land in the field, you can pay for the house yourself, would you be willing?"
