Counterattack in the chronology

Gu Lichun was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that it was almost the Chinese New Year, and the whole scene was so full of surprises.

Seeing him in a daze, Deng Chang reminded him: "I think you're the acting deputy director, but I'm the only one who thinks it's not bad. You need to be recognized by the director. They generally think that you are still too young to be a department-level cadre." It's already an exception. You have to find a way to fight for it, understand?"

Gu Lichun immediately said: "Thank you Deng Chang for your suggestion, I will find a way."

Gu Lichun thought that the head of the field had already visited once during the autumn harvest, and had already understood the situation of the five fields.Right now, in this winter, the pigs in the pig farm have already been slaughtered, and the crops have already been harvested and put into storage. The only thing that can be visited is the fund-raising house.Those branch cadres mainly want to see how the effect is, and then decide whether they want to follow up.He has made some fuss about this aspect, but of course other aspects cannot be neglected.

Gu Lichun quickly went through the question in his mind, and he already had a general idea in his heart.

He suddenly remembered his purpose for today, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "Deng Chang, you see that the leaders of the main field and the cadres of each sub-field have come. Do we need to improve the standard of our New Year's party?"

Deng Chang said bluntly, "I'll allocate another 200 yuan to you for special use."

Gu Lichun was a little overjoyed. He didn't intend to ask for money, but with an extra special fund of 200 yuan, things would be easier to handle.

Gu Lichun climbed up: "Deng Chang, the funds are sufficient. The specifications and grades of the gala have a lot to do with the program and the cast members. Now we lack high-quality programs, and we don't have people to control the show. .”

Deng Chang stared at Gu Lichun: "You mean you want me to report on the show?"

Gu Lichun: "Deng Chang, it would be great if you took the initiative to sign up. This is the gospel of the broad masses of the people. This is a challenge to ourselves. As a revolutionary cadre, we will have a revolutionary Spring Festival."

Deng Chang: "..." You really dare to think.

Gu Lichun continued to use his pestering skills, but it was a pity that Deng Zhang didn't get into the trap at all, and was finally entangled, so he had to say: "I will ask the cadres of each department to put out a few programs for you to make up the number, and you can think of the rest yourself. Method."

Speaking of this, Deng Zhang suddenly said: "Why is there no one in charge of the place? Aren't you yourself?"

Gu Lichun didn't want to shoot himself in the foot, so he quickly refused: "Everyone agrees that my temperament is simple and gentle, and I can't control the scene. You have to be the one who controls the field."

Deng Chang: "It seems that the people have misunderstood you, and you have misunderstood yourself."

Gu Lichun: "..." Forget it, I can't talk today.Fortunately, today was not in vain, not only received 200 yuan of funding, but also pulled cadres from various departments to perform on stage, enough money, retreat.

Gu Lichun took the approval slip to the finance department to collect the money. While collecting the money, he chatted with the eldest sister of the finance department, and by the way, disclosed the news that Deng Chang asked the cadres of each department to make a show.Sure enough, as soon as he left, word spread.

There was wailing in the offices of each department, and those who didn't know thought they were killing pigs inside.

Someone went to Deng Chang to confirm the news, and Deng Chang said calmly: "You all know? It's good, then let's start preparing. Each department will produce at least one program. As revolutionary cadres, we have to live a program." A revolutionary Spring Festival."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled wryly.

People from various departments got together and talked a lot.

Those from the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department were not worried, they had Xiao Gu anyway.

There are many lesbians in the logistics department and the finance department, so it should be no problem to produce a program.

As for the supply and marketing department, Lu Jinjin was going to do it himself.

The most difficult ones are infrastructure and production.

Section Chief Zhang and Zhao Zhijun sat across from each other. Section Chief Zhang lit a cigarette and puffed out the clouds, complaining to Zhao Zhijun: "Old Zhao, I don't think Deng Chang's temperament can't come up with such a tricky idea. That kid in your family thought it up."

Zhao Zhijun didn't take it seriously: "How can you be sure that Lao Deng won't cheat people?" He often cheats people.

Section Chief Zhang felt that this question was a bit dangerous, so he quickly changed the subject cleverly: "Let's not talk about cheating people, let's talk about practical things. What about the show now?"

Zhao Zhijun shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, I don't know anything. Old Jin doesn't know much, but he can act like a boulder in the chest."

Section Chief Zhang had a sad face. This little Gu is really loved and hated. A few days ago, he praised him for his kindness, but turned around and asked people difficult problems.

At this time, Gu Lichun was busy inspecting the new building.Everyone was relieved to see that he was challenged by others when he stopped seeing people.

Gu Lichun inspected several newly moved residents, and was not satisfied with their furnishings, which did not reflect the appearance of the new building he imagined.This can't be blamed on these workers. They have used all their money to raise funds to build a house, and there is no money left to buy new furniture.Moreover, people in this era have no aesthetics, even if there are a few new pieces of furniture, they are still arranged in the same way.

Gu Lichun looked around and decided to get a few model rooms out, just like the model rooms in the sales office.

As soon as he brought up the idea, the new residents immediately became excited.

Comrade Gu personally helped them decorate the room. Where can we find such a good thing?

Gu Lichun finally selected a few newlyweds and households with grown-up children as model households. If there are a few small children in the house, no matter how well you arrange it, it will become a doghouse in minutes.

Jinfa and Guo Hongmei's family are naturally on the list, followed by Lao Zhou's family and Da Hu's family. Da Hu is the eldest son of Hu Dahua. Everyone calls him Dad Lao Hu and his younger brother Xiao Hu. In order to distinguish Lao Hu from Xiao Hu, he is called For Dahu.Gu Lichun thought it would be nice if his brother was named Erhu.

Gu Lichun called the three families together and said: "In a few days, the leaders of the head office and the leaders of each branch will come to visit our new building. The new style of socialism, I plan to use the three of you as a demonstration model room. I will make some adjustments on the basis of soliciting your opinions on furnishing, are you willing?"

"Yes, of course we are willing." The three families scrambled to answer.

Gu Lichun said: "Okay, you guys clean up first, clean the house, I'll go find some people and furniture, and we'll come back tomorrow."

When Gu Lichun returned to the pig farm, he first went to his uncle Tian Hongjun, explained the situation to him, and asked him to help prepare some practical and beautiful furniture. Tian Hongjun readily agreed.Then, he went to find Chen Yu, Meng Nianqun, Zhang Pan and others, and asked them to go over to help.

In the morning of the next day, Gu Lichun led a group of people and came with a rack of furniture.

The first to decorate is Blonde's house.Guo Hongmei had already tidied up the bedroom, so they didn't go in, they only helped decorate the living room and study.

Of course, in terms of layout, it should not be too advanced, and must conform to the current social situation and people's mainstream aesthetics.

Originally, he thought the study room was dispensable, but Gu Lichun suggested that he should have one: "You are the director of the Revolutionary Committee and the leader, so how can you not have a study room? This is not just a matter of arranging faces."

Blonde had no choice but to temporarily convert the guest room into a study, searched around for some books and magazines that could be read nowadays, and hung a portrait of the leader and a picture of mountains and rivers in the study.

Hanging on the wall of the living room is a poster of "Growing Strong in the Vast World", which fits Guo Hongmei's identity as an educated youth.

There are also two sets of rattan bookcases, a set of leaders' anthology and books of Marx and Lenin, a walnut-colored round dining table, a rattan round table and a rattan chair on the balcony.There is a pot of daffodils on it.

The style of his house is a bit similar to the minimalist style. It doesn't need much decoration, as long as you don't put things around, it looks very pleasing to the eye.

The second family, Old Zhou’s, lived in a simple style. Old Zhou’s daughter-in-law was very good at tidying up. Gu Lichun lent them some furniture and gave them a poster of "Workers and Peasants Sing Harvest Songs Together".

The third one is Dahu's, and the style of this one is pastoral.A "Farm Labor Picture" and portraits of leaders hang on the wall.There are also two sickles hanging beside the painting.There are two sets of dark cabinets in the living room, and on the balcony, there are paintings of dried chickens and ducks, bacon and dried vegetables.The kitchen is also full, and the windowsill is covered with bunches of peppers and garlic.They have a unified style, and Gu Lichun didn't interfere. He just gave them a few instructions and gave them a pot of garlic sprouts, which made the big Hu daughter-in-law very happy.

Originally, they only planned to build three houses as model houses, but when other people heard about it, they all looked at Gu Lichun eagerly, hoping that he, the leader, could come to their house to have a look.

Gu Lichun saw that there were still some things in the car, so he continued to visit with his team.Every time they come to a house, they either give some guidance, or ask a few words, and usually give some gifts as a congratulatory gift for them to move to a new house.

Everyone was smiling, the gift from Comrade Gu was something that many people couldn't wish for, and it contained a good omen.

After visiting all afternoon, I finally got [-] model houses.

All the families selected as model houses were both excited and nervous.

After Gu Lichun finished his work, he began to prepare for the New Year's party.

The selection and rehearsal of the program took place in the newly built cafeteria of the pig farm. It was very cold, but it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the crowd. Outside the cafeteria, there were many spectators surrounded by three floors.From time to time, a burst of laughter broke out in the crowd.

As judges, Gu Lichun, Chen Yu, and Zhang Pan seldom laughed.

Those who sing are always out of tune, those who sing in chorus are always out of tune, those who dance are like swinging a big knife, and those who play erhu are like pulling a big saw.

When the representatives of the educated youth came to the stage, Gu Lichun found that the level of the program had also dropped significantly. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that a group of literary and artistic backbones among the educated youth had left before the Chinese New Year. He Tiemei and Song Yong had all gone back to visit relatives.

In fact, there are still a group of literary and artistic backbones in their five performances, that is, reform-through-labor prisoners. There are quite a few people in this group who can play, play and sing. Gu Lichun was afraid of causing controversy, so he didn't let them go.

After a whole morning of selection, the program was finally decided, the dance drama "Sister-in-law Hong", the Beijing opera "Taking Tiger Mountain by Outsmart", and the others were mostly singing programs such as "The Internationale", "Dongfanghong", "We Walk on the Road" and other songs , the rest are self-edited programs by some employees and educated youths. The standard is not high, but it has a sense of life and is worth watching.

After the program was confirmed, Gu Lichun asked them to hurry up and rehearse.

Gu Lichun was just about to leave the cafeteria, but was stopped by Chen Yu: "Brother Gu, our cooking class also wants to make a show."

Gu Lichun stopped in his tracks and looked at him: "Then tell me, what kind of program will you show? Are you and Meng Nian on the group?"

Chen Yu shook his head: "I do have some talent, but I'm not suitable for it. I'll show it to you alone in the future."

Gu Lichun waved his hand and refused: "No need, you should talk about the show."

The program performed by their cooking class is cooking.

Gu Lichun said slowly while thinking: "It's not impossible to perform and cook, but the props are not easy to get."

Chen Yu said with a smile: "We put the stove on stage, cook a dish of boiled fish, perform a show of cutting fish fillets with a knife, and then perform a live performance of ramen and pulled noodles. In fact, what kind of show to perform is second, the key is to warm up the place. Isn't the gala just for fun?"

Gu Lichun made sense when he thought about it, and to be honest, the overall level of their five shows is just like this, and it can't be solved by hard work.Since the level is average, it can only rely on novelty to win.

The time for the visit was set on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. We had a party in the morning, entertained them in the cafeteria at noon, and visited the new building in the afternoon.

Gu Lichun was so busy these two days that he couldn't stop, and when he got home at night, he wanted to be paralyzed.The younger brothers and sisters were caring, big and small gathered around together, some squeezed their shoulders, some beat their legs, some massaged, Gu Lichun closed his eyes comfortably and enjoyed it.

At this moment, Zhao Zhijun cleared his throat and shouted: "Everyone, let's make room, here we come."

Zhao Zhijun came in slowly with a big steel pot, and the second grandmother also came in with a tray of side dishes, and said to Gu Lichun with a smile: "Lichun, wash your hands and eat quickly. Today's old duck soup noodles are made by you, Uncle Zhao." of."

Gu Lichun looked shocked: "Uncle Zhao, can you still make noodles?"

Zhao Minghua yelled: "Dad has been talking about it for the past few days."

Gu Lichun looked at Zhao Zhijun, and asked back: "Uncle Zhao, you are brave after realizing your shame."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhijun proudly announced: "What shame is there, the production department of our infrastructure department and the canteen staff performed a large-scale stage play "Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers Pull Up the Long Communist Face" together.

Gu Lichun: "..."

After a while, he asked, "Are you serious?"

Zhao Zhijun snorted softly: "Seriously, you forced me to do this? I know Lao Deng can cheat people too, but he won't cheat like that. You must have come up with the idea."

Gu Lichun quickly cleared his responsibility: "You wronged me. I really didn't come up with this idea. I originally wanted Deng Chang to make a show, but he came up with such an idea."

Zhao Zhijun was speechless, isn't this a typical dead fellow who never dies?

Everyone was talking and eating noodles.

Gu Lichun praised sincerely: "Uncle Zhao, let alone, your noodle-making skills are not bad."

The children also gave a fair evaluation.

Zhao Mingguang said with a serious face: "Dad, I didn't expect you to have such a delicious cooking day."

Zhao Minghua: "My brother is right."

Xiaoman made a concluding speech: "Uncle Zhao, you still have great potential. In our family, your cooking skills rank second among gay men."

Zhao Zhijun: "Xiao Man is expected to be a cadre, and he is good at encouraging people." There are only two men in the family, and he ranks second.

Unexpectedly, there were still people who raised objections to this ranking, and Lidong was the first to express dissatisfaction: "Xiaoman, have you forgotten Lixia and me, we are also gays."

Xiaoman glanced at Lidong: "Of course I counted you all in. If only my brother and Uncle Zhao are counted, where will he lose face?"

Lidong seems to understand.

Tian Sanhong said with a smile: "Don't just talk, hurry up and eat, we will eat noodles tomorrow."

In the twinkling of an eye, it was the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. Red flags were waving in the Wuchang cafeteria, and there was a lot of voices. A simple but strong big stage was set up inside.

The audience was packed with dense crowds, and the leaders of the main venue and the cadres of each branch sat in the front row.

Gu Lichun was wearing a blue woolen coat, holding a microphone as the host.

"Good morning, comrades. The fulfilling and exciting 1973 has passed. The anticipated 1974 is coming.

Looking back on the past and looking forward to the future, our five field cadres are full of emotions and emotions.The cadres and the masses collectively created a revolutionary poem belonging to the proletariat. I will recite it here as the beginning of the party:

Dark clouds rolled over the farm to cover the sky, and demons and monsters roamed the world.

Workers and peasants are united and invincible, and anti-imperialist cultivators arrest traitors and spies.

Fight against the sky, the earth, and the people, let's embroider the red of the world.

The east wind is mighty, the red flag is fluttering in the wind, and the picks and shovels are shining golden.

The cadres and the masses are firmly grasping the steering wheel of the revolution, and next year will be another splendid year.
