Counterattack in the chronology

Gu Lichun hurriedly asked Chen Jie what was the matter, and Chen Jie said that she wanted to take a family leave, and she hadn't been home for more than two years.

顾立春查看了一下规定，给陈洁开了20天的假期,从1月10号开始到月底。今年过年早,1月22号除夕,正好过完年再回来。

Chen Jie didn't expect to have so many days of vacation, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Gu Lichun remembered that Chen Jie still had a direct supervisor, so he asked her if she had Secretary Zhu's permission, and Chen Jie replied with a smile: "Secretary Zhu also agreed."

Gu Lichun smiled and nodded: "That's good."

Chen Jie asked again: "Do you need my help? I will help you when I return to Beijing."

Gu Lichun thought for a while, and said, "You can inquire about Jiang Mu's affairs again, and see if he has any new moves recently."

Chen Jie agreed, "Okay."

"What's more," Gu Lichun hesitated for a moment, but still talked about the Meng family's affairs: "You inquire about Meng Nianqun's uncle, his uncle's name is Meng Anhua. See what's going on, and ask if it's convenient, if it's inconvenient. "

Chen Jie said: "It's just to inquire about the news, it's not inconvenient."

Chen Jie couldn't leave immediately after asking for leave. She had to hand over work, issue a letter of introduction from the province, and exchange for national food stamps.

Once the turmoil of the Revolutionary Committee was over, the lives of the workers in Wuchang were back on track.

Gu Lichun discussed with Zhao Zhijun about digging the canal. This project is not difficult, but the workload is not small. The workers in the five fields have not been idle this year, and even now, they have not finished working on the house.Gu Lichun convened a meeting of cadres and employee representatives on this matter, and at the same time solicited the opinions of the employees and their families.

At the meeting, Gu Lichun said straight to the point: "Do you still remember the wheat harvest this year? It rained continuously during the wheat harvest. Fortunately, we harvested early in five fields, so the harvest was not affected in the end, but other places were affected. I heard that some brothers Because of the severe disaster, the farm had to eat the grain sold back by the state.

You said that we are a state-owned farm, a demonstration unit of socialist large-scale agriculture. Although there is a reason for the incident, we don’t even earn enough for our own rations. Thinking about it, I feel ashamed.We must take this as a warning.

The weather conditions, like a child's face, change as they say.Although we cannot predict accurately, we also have a rough estimate.Floods this summer may be droughts next year, and of course floods may continue.I think, regardless of floods or droughts, we must build more water conservancy projects. Floods can drain water; droughts can irrigate.I don't know what your opinions are? "

Everyone remembered Gu Lichun's divine prediction of the weather during the wheat harvest this year, and someone asked: "Chief Gu, did the old man in your village say anything?"

Gu Lichun said: "The old man is always mentally confused, so we can't believe it all. We don't pay attention to scientific farming. I also asked people to ask the comrades at the farm's weather station. They said that the probability of drought next year is 30.00% three."

Everyone chattered and said: "30.00% three, that's not low."

"Or, let's continue to carry out water conservancy construction, anyway, we will do it every year."

Lu Jinjin took the words and said: "Comrade Gu, there are basically three types of weather in this weather, flood, drought, and good weather. Not to mention the weather station, even I can guess it."

Gu Lichun smiled and said: "Comrade Lu is right, but why didn't you predict the wheat harvest this year?"

Lu Jinjin was speechless.

He said angrily: "Anyway, I don't agree. I don't think it is necessary to waste such a large amount of manpower digging ditches for a ridiculous probability."

Sister Bai said, "I have no objection, it's just that our staff housing has not been completed yet, and we are afraid that we will not have enough manpower to dig the canal."

Zhao Zhijun said: "Anything can be done with forewarning, and nothing can be done if it is not forewarned. It is right to make more preparations. I suggest that a part of the manpower be allocated to infrastructure construction."

Among the cadres present, one-third agreed, one-third clearly opposed, and the rest were silent.

Among the five production teams, two clearly expressed their support, and representatives of the educated youth also expressed their support.

Gu Lichun looked at these people and thought it was enough.He also has pig farm workers and labor reform teams under him, and these people are completely under his command.

The route has been surveyed a few days ago, and construction can begin after the meeting.This time it was voluntary participation, and more than 300 employees and family members participated in the canal digging.Zhao Zhijun divided them into two construction teams. One team connected the previously dug canals along Datian; the other team dug from the outside of the farm to the Blue River and built a simple gate by the river. .

Digging ditches is heavy physical work, and the weather is cold and the ground is hard, so it is very difficult to dig the ground.Although it was hard work, everyone was very enthusiastic.Because they trust Gu Lichun, anyway, as long as Gu Lichun asks him to do something, they can't go wrong.After more times, everyone believed him unconditionally.Even if you don't know why you do it, just follow along.

There were men, women and children on the construction site, and the school had an early winter vacation, so these students also came to join in the fun.Gu Lichun saw that everyone was working so hard, so he asked Zhao Gao and Sun Houyu to catch more than a dozen fish and send them to the cafeteria for extra meals.

Since the construction started, the food in the cafeteria has also improved.Sometimes there is rabbit meat, sometimes there is wild duck meat, improving life every now and then.

The construction site was lively and lively all day long. The big guys sang songs and talked about jokes while working, and the day passed quickly.

In order to inspire everyone, Gu Lichun also endowed this canal with great significance: "This is the first canal we dug after cleaning up the class ranks. We will use it to clean the old dirt and welcome the new year."

Everyone praised in unison: "Section Chief Gu said it well, use it to clean the dirt and welcome the New Year."

Everyone thought that the members of the Revolutionary Committee had finally fallen down, and they were angry, and they would not have to be so trembling in the future. They were in a better mood, more motivated, and the progress of the project was significantly accelerated.

Zhao Zhijun came to check the progress of the work and couldn't help but admire him.

He privately said to Tian Sanhong: "Lichun is very talented in instigating people. Thanks to your good education, he is not crooked. If he becomes a rebel, it will cause great harm."

Tian Sanhong said: "This child has been obedient since he was a child, and no one cares about him. I haven't educated him much."

Zhao Zhijun didn't know what to say, so he could only say, "Well, very good."

In the blink of an eye, New Year's Day arrived, and Gu Lichun gave everyone a day off.

Everyone discussed holding a New Year's Day party, and soon someone suggested that this year's Chinese New Year should be early, so New Year's Day and the Spring Festival party should be held together.After thinking about it, the cadres of the five games thought it made sense, so they simply waited to do it.

In early January, Gu Lichun went to collect his salary.Chen Yu had just arrived, hadn't finished his labor reform yet, and had no salary for the time being, so Lu Jingjing gave him half of her salary.

Since the reunion of their family, Lu Jingjing and Chen Ping have more smiles on their faces.

After Meng Nianqun received his salary, he bought a batch of old cotton-padded clothes and trousers on the farm. The living conditions of the farm workers were relatively affluent. The clothes had been worn for several years and were not damaged, but they just didn’t want to wear them anymore. Sell ​​it for a new one.Gu Lichun also bought old cotton-padded clothes and quilts when he first entered the farm, but of course he doesn't use them now.

Meng Nianqun left a few for his father and himself to wear, and mailed the rest.Gu Lichun sponsored him another sum of money and asked him to send more food.

Recently, Gu Lichun received parcels with soft hands. There are mountain products from Longjiang Province sent by Ye Beilin, books on snacks and special products sent by He Wenyong from Haicheng, sent by his aunt in the city, and sent by people who came to the farm to visit and study. of.

When Gu Lichun received the items, he wrote back one by one, and sent back local specialties.

Among the parcels of the people, there was even one from Beihe Province. There were very few things, only a few packets of peanuts and dried chilies, which were sent by the second cousin who had never met.

Gu Lichun stared at the shabby package for a while, then turned to Meng Nianqun and said, "Send him something for the New Year. Cotton clothes, trousers and food, as well as pens and notebooks."

Gu Lichun grew taller again. Last year's clothes were a bit small. He left a few for Lidong and Lixia, and also gave two to Chen Yu. Chen Yu was like a treasure. In order not to wear it out, he asked someone to patch it up in advance. .

Chen Yu's life in Wuchang was very nourishing, especially after the Revolutionary Committee was taken over by Jinfa and Wang Tie, no one supervised Wuchang.The woods in Wuchang are vast, and he has the ability to hunt. He led Wu Pang and Zhao Gao to set traps in the woods, hunt wild rabbits, catch pheasants, and catch wild ducks. Sun Houyu and Zhao Gao secretly took the prey to sell in the county town. , the pockets of several people are getting more and more bulging, and they invite everyone to have tooth-beating sacrifices from time to time.In particular, Chen Yu has changed the most. When he first came, he looked like he was dying, but now his face is rosy, his eyes are bright, and his stature has begun to sprint.Chen Yu was the latecomer, the latest to join the small group, and his status rose rapidly. At first, some people were dissatisfied. With the display of his skills, he first found nails in pig food, then he fought against the Revolutionary Committee, and now he Leading everyone to get rich, everyone's dissatisfaction with him gradually disappeared.Some people call him Brother Chen in private.

Chen Yu was very satisfied with this, but still not satisfied.Yes, he was very dissatisfied, especially when he saw Gu Lichun Zhuyu in front of him, he felt an inexplicable sense of urgency and inferiority complex.Normally, apart from doing his job well, he spends the rest of his time studying hard, learning from his grandparents, aunts, and sometimes other members of the labor reform team.He has a bright mind, strong learning ability, and rapid progress.When Grandpa Chen saw his grandson like this, half of the huge rock in his heart was put down. This child is growing in Xiangyang, and even if the old couple dies one day, he should not go on the wrong path.

Grandpa Chen told Chen Yu in private: "Comrade Xiao Gu's kindness to our family, I and your grandma have no ability or opportunity to repay it, we can only rely on you. You must study hard, lie dormant quietly, and wait for the opportunity. In the future, every little If Gu and his family can use you, they must do their best."

Chen Yu said as a matter of course: "Grandpa, I will do the same if you don't tell me."

……

In the blink of an eye, it was January 1th, and Chen Jie began to take her annual leave. She had already prepared for her return home, and she planned to return to Beijing on this day.

The comrades in the cooking class were a little bit sad when they heard that Chen Jie was going home to visit relatives.Chen Jie's identity in the small group is very special. At first everyone thought that she and Gu Lichun might be a couple, but later found out that they were not, and then found out that Meng Nianqun was interested in her, but because of his identity, Meng Nianqun never broke the window. , Chen Jie didn't notice it for the time being, and the big guy didn't poke it.Now I only treat her as a buddy, and everyone laughs and works together to make delicious food, and is silly and happy every day.

Now that my buddies are going back to their hometown, they have to express themselves no matter what.

Sun Houyu gave her an air-dried rabbit, Zhao Gao gave her a piece of bacon, Wu Fat gave a big bag of snacks, Gu Lichun saw that everyone gave them, and he also gave Chen Jie two bottles of local shochu and his mother's Tempeh Chili Sauce.Meng Nianqun was the poorest and had no gifts that he could afford, so he bought raw materials and made them himself.What kind of fried sweet potato fries, strange beans, salty and crispy broad beans, spicy jerky, walnut crisps, double sugar peanuts, crispy fried crispy corners and so on.The food is delicious, novel, and good-looking. Once a connoisseur makes a move, he will know if it is there.

When he did this, not only Chen Jie was shocked, but everyone was also shocked.

Chen Jie looked at the presents piled up in front of him, and said with a smile, "I'm a little embarrassed that you send so many presents."

Sun Houyu said with a smile: "You don't have to be embarrassed, anyway, we usually don't eat less of your cooking."

Wu Fat said very simply: "If you feel sorry, bring us more specialties when you come back."

Everyone was speechless, anyway, they have long been used to this bastard.

Chen Jie readily agreed: "Okay, you wait, I will definitely eat more."

Chen Jie packed her luggage and was ready to go. Sun Houyu and Wu Fatty took her to the county bus station.

After Chen Jie left, a few more educated youths came to ask for family leave. Gu Lichun didn't make any trouble, and basically all of them were allowed to leave.

Jinfa also asked Guo Hongmei if she wanted to go back to visit relatives, Guo Hongmei shook her head: "Why go back? I don't even have a place to live. I won't go back."

She got married and had nothing at home, and her mother asked her if she had a bride price.Guo Hongmei didn't even reply to the letter.

Ever since he ate the snacks made by Meng Nianqun once, Sun Houyu never forgot, and his thoughts were the most active, so he had an idea and gave Meng Nianqun a New Year's gift in advance.

Meng Nianqun was too embarrassed not to return the gift, so he also gave him a snack made by himself; everyone immediately understood and followed suit.

Before the New Year arrived, Meng Nianqun received a lot of New Year gifts.

He picked out some good ones and reserved them for Gu Lichun, and sent the rest away.This year should be the most prosperous year for the Meng family in recent years.

Seeing that the end of the new year is approaching, Sister Bai and others discussed with Gu Lichun about killing pigs and dividing fish.This is still done according to the rules of previous years. Some of the slaughtered pigs are handed over to the main farm, and some are kept as annual gifts for employees.More points left, less points left.

This year's pigs are better and fatter than last year, and everyone has long been looking forward to this day.

On the day of the pork distribution, the whole audience came to watch the excitement, and the faces of adults and children were filled with happy smiles.

There is a lot of meat left this year, five catties per person for full-time employees, three catties for temporary workers, eight catties for each staff member, ten catties for each department-level cadre, and 3 catties for each field-level cadre.Gu Lichun shared 8 catties, Zhao Zhijun 10 catties, and Tian Sanhong 15 catties. Their family shared a total of 15 catties of meat.

The children were so excited that Lidong even turned two somersaults to celebrate.

After dividing the meat, the smell of meat is wafting in the kitchens of every family. They cook and fry everything, such as stewed bones, fried crispy meat, and fried meatballs.

This year there are a lot of things and people, and the preparations for the new year are more abundant than last year.

A few days after the pork was divided, the fish began to be divided again.

Fat and big fish were caught in nets, and everyone lined up to carry home a few, with smiles blooming on their faces.

The fish are distributed according to households. Each family has three big fish, and the small ones continue to be raised in the water.

The things are all divided, and the Dengchang people haven't come back yet.Sister Bai thought for a while, then took the things for him first, and handed them over to Gu Lichun, who let his family help with processing.

When Gu Lichun asked Sister Bai, he learned that Deng Zhang's mother had gone to the elder son's place.Now he is the only one in the family, no, there is also a dog, which is currently being raised by a neighbor.

Gu Lichun took 15 catties of meat and three big fish home, and asked his mother and second grandmother to help.

On January 1th, Deng Chang, who had been away from the farm for more than a month, finally came back.This time it was rare to return a gift.Zhao Zhijun received two bottles of wine, and Gu Lichun really received a dog fur hat.

Even if the gift from the leader is inappropriate, you have to express it.

So he went to work the next day, and Gu Lichun put on this hat. Since the weather wasn't too cold, Gu Lichun flipped the ears of the hat, and put it on casually and arrogantly.

Everyone looked at him and laughed. This hat doesn't look ugly on him. After all, he is good-looking, and he doesn't look ugly wearing anything, but just looking at it makes him want to laugh.Deng Chang couldn't help but smile when he saw it.

Chen Yu saw the hat on Gu Lichun's head and shook his head: "This hat really doesn't suit you. The person who picks the hat has a bad eye. I'll get you a rabbit fur one."

Gu Lichun said: "No need, half of winter is over."

He said no, but Chen Yu gave him three hats in one go, one made of rabbit fur, one made of cotton, and one military cap.
