Counterattack in the chronology

As soon as Gu Lichun heard Yu Tianlan's eager voice, he looked around calmly, it was already very late, and there were only two ushers in the hall.

He covered the microphone, and said to the two receptionists in a slightly shy and embarrassed tone: "Sisters, I'm really embarrassed that my mother told me about my blind date, can you avoid it?"

The two receptionists smiled at each other to show that we understood, and then consciously put a safe distance away from Gu Lichun.

Seeing them leave, Gu Lichun lowered his voice and asked, "Did they find me?"

Yu Tianlan said quickly: "There was a man named Bi who brought Wang Nianmu to me. I pretended to be sick and didn't say anything. But the man named Bi knew you. It's too dangerous for you to be here. Go back quickly." ,Do not worry about me."

Gu Lichun said calmly: "You don't have to worry, I have my own way to deal with him."

He thought for a while, then asked again: "Then do you know who the opponent surnamed Wang is?"

Yu Tianlan thought for a while, and then said in an uncertain tone: "I heard that he has a problem with many people inside. I don't know who it is. It seems that there is a member of Qin who has a deadly enemy with him."

After Yu Tianlan finished speaking, her tone changed suddenly: "Xiao Zhao, I will trouble you about my work, thank you, you are such a good person. That's all for today, you should go home early, don't worry your mother .”

Gu Lichun guessed that she said that because there was someone else nearby, so he followed her words and said, "I see, I'll go home after finishing my work outside."

After hanging up the phone over there, Gu Lichun turned his head and smiled gratefully at the two receptionists: "I've finished answering the phone, thank you."

As soon as Gu Lichun returned to the room, he closed the door and discussed with Zhao Gao: "The man surnamed Bi went to find my mother. I suspect he got the news from the farm that I came to the provincial capital." Director Bi stayed on the farm for so long Over the years, there will definitely be some relatives and friends, and it is easy to inquire about some news.

Zhao Gao looked panicked: "Then, what shall we do? This man surnamed Bi knows us, and it's useless to put on makeup."

Gu Lichun calmed himself down, and reasoned and analyzed with Zhao Gao step by step: "The surname Bi has just come to the provincial capital and has just been tried. There are many capable people in the Provincial Revolutionary Committee, so it is impossible for him to have too much power in his hands. He couldn't do whatever he wanted like he did on the farm before; he went to ask my mother, which meant that he didn't have any real evidence in his hands. One, he didn't have much power, and two, without real evidence, he couldn't just arrest me. And The current Revolutionary Committee is not as chaotic as it was a few years ago, and they have to follow certain procedures and steps in everything they do. After analyzing it this way, although we are in danger now, there is still room for change.”

After listening to Gu Lichun's analysis, Zhao Gao gradually calmed down.

Gu Lichun said: "In this way, our contract has been signed and the work task has been completed. How about you go back to the farm with the contract and the advance payment, and I will stay and deal with them."

Zhao Gao shook his head, and said resolutely: "No, Brother Gu, how can I leave alone and go alone at a time like this."

Gu Lichun comforted him: "You have to trust me, I will definitely handle it well."

Zhao Gao said firmly: "No, there is no need to discuss this matter. Brother Gu, you have to trust me. I am not as smart as you, but I can help you. One more person is more strength."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Gu Lichun had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder, and said emotionally: "You really deserve to be my good brother, you should stay too, let's join hands to deal with them."

Zhao Gao frowned, walked up and down the room, turned around three times, and said, "Brother Gu, I don't think we can live here, what if the person surnamed Wang comes to interrogate you? Go to Uncle Rong's house for a squeeze?"

Gu Lichun shook his head: "I can't go, if they can find out here, they can also find out the Zhao family."

Zhao Gao asked: "Then where else can we go? Change to a hotel?"

Gu Lichun smiled and said, "No, let's go to Wang's house."

Zhao Gao was taken aback: "Brother Gu, are you scared? You're all confused, and it's too late for us to hide, so we went to throw ourselves into a trap?"

Gu Lichun said with a smile: "Have you ever heard a saying that the most dangerous place is also the safest place. That person surnamed Wang would never expect that I would be near his house, right?"

"But……"

Suddenly, Zhao Gao understood something, "Brother Gu, what do you mean we should go to Wang Dazhu's house?"

Gu Lichun nodded: "Yes, let's go to his house."

It's too late today, so I can only go tomorrow.The two began to pack their luggage. Gu Lichun's house was reserved for seven days, and they didn't plan to leave. Tomorrow, they only left with their important belongings and gifts for the Wang family, so that those who were watching would be caught off guard.

After packing up his things, Gu Lichun began to arrange the next action.

"Zhao Gao, go to my mother early tomorrow morning, and be careful not to let people find you. After you find her, you ask her for my grandpa or grandpa's photos and old clothes, and you say that I want to keep the old man's photos. As a souvenir. Take it if you have it, or ask her to draw a portrait for me if you don’t have it; what’s more, if you ask her for the internal structure diagram of my grandfather’s house, if you don’t have it, draw a sketch for me, I’ll be useful. Finally, Tell her not to worry, she must hold on, and trust her son, it's gone."

Zhao Gao carefully memorized every word of Gu Lichun.

After Gu Lichun instructed Zhao Gao, he began to sit at the table and sort out his thoughts.

Director Wang Nianmubi, he thinks that solving these two people is not the most difficult thing, what is difficult is how to end after solving these two people?The Provincial Revolutionary Committee is the current provincial administrative agency, not like the Farm Revolutionary Committee. If his name is registered in it, there will be endless troubles in the past two years. fifteen.

He slowly recalled the organizational structure and scope of power of the Provincial Revolutionary Committee in his mind. There should be some cadres who have not been defeated, some revolutionary masses and rebels in the Provincial Revolutionary Committee.If they want to maintain the normal operation of a large province, the workload must be heavy, and the less important things should not attract the attention of the leaders.His family's affairs are big and big, and small and small.

Gu Lichun heard that the Provincial Revolutionary Committee generally has one director, three or four deputy directors, and more than a dozen standing committee members. There are various offices under it, such as the organization department, propaganda department, political office, water conservancy, and financial and trade offices. Category.Of course, the actual situation in each province will be different, but in general it should not be too different.

Director Bi is supposed to be a low-level employee who does odd jobs inside. Wang Nianmu is better than him, but he definitely can't reach the level of deputy director or director.

Gu Lichun decided to inquire about Committee Qin tomorrow.

As for whom to ask, Gu Lichun suddenly thought of Mrs. Niu. Mrs. Niu was supposed to cook for everyone, but she was actually a small private restaurant.If she dared to open a private restaurant in this era, she must be covered by someone above her. Seeing her confident appearance, Gu Lichun intuitively felt that there should be someone above her.Moreover, the restaurant owner also knows a lot of people. Even if she can't get to know the people above her, she can get to know some related people through her.

Gu Lichun made up his mind and planned to go to Mrs. Niu early tomorrow morning.

After clearing his mind and making plans, he began to go to bed. Zhao Gao tossed and turned on the bed for a while before falling asleep.

At dawn the next day, Zhao Gao woke up automatically without using the alarm clock.He quickly washed up and went out to do errands.

Gu Lichun changed his makeup, but unfortunately there are too few cosmetics in this era, and there are few reserves in his space farm, so he can only make do with it. He painted his eyebrows thicker and his skin tone darker. He didn't have the right glasses. Then he took out a pair of flat glasses with a black frame from the space and put them on.He put on his hat, put on a scarf, and went out with a bag of things.

He went straight to Mrs. Niu's house. Mrs. Niu was sitting in the yard peeling cabbage leaves. When she saw Gu Lichun, she didn't recognize her for a while. When Gu Lichun reminded her, she remembered: "Oh, look at my eyes, last night. The lights are too dim, I can't see clearly, you want to treat again this early in the morning?"

Gu Lichun smiled and said, "I don't treat guests today, I'll eat by myself, and give me a bowl of vegetable and egg noodles."

Mrs. Niu responded readily, "Okay, just wait for a while."

As Gu Lichun was talking, he took out a few bottles of chili sauce and fermented soybeans from his net pocket and put them on the table, saying: "I brought these from my hometown. I put a spoonful of them when I eat noodles and wontons. They are spicy and fragrant. You can eat them too." Try it."

Auntie Niu accepted it politely, she went into the kitchen, and after a while brought out a large bowl of noodles with vegetables and eggs, Gu Lichun was eating noodles in the yard, while Auntie Niu sat on the side and continued to peel the cabbage.

Gu Lichun said while eating noodles: "Sister-in-law Niu, I want to ask you about someone, do you recognize the member Qin of the Revolutionary Committee?"

Aunt Niu was slightly surprised, "Why are you looking for Lao Qin?"

Gu Lichun said: "Actually, I don't necessarily have to go to Commissioner Qin for this matter. I just heard that he is very righteous and a bold person. I think it is more suitable to go to him. Of course, if Mrs. Niu knows someone else, that's fine too." , anyway, as long as my matter belongs to the Revolutionary Committee, it should be resolved."

Mrs. Niu tentatively asked calmly: "Comrade Xiao Gu, is it convenient for you to tell me something?"

Gu Lichun lowered his head and pondered for a while, then finally made up his mind and said: "It's fine, anyway, I think I didn't do anything wrong, so I'll chat with my sister-in-law."

"The thing is like this. I am from Honghe Farm in Dongyun County. There is a Director Bi in our farm revolutionary committee. The interests of the farm fought resolutely against him. He had already been arrested, but somehow he got mixed into the Provincial Revolutionary Committee.

Because of this grievance, he retaliated against me frantically. He even made up a story, saying that I was the son of the nearby Meng family living outside. You know the Meng family, right?It was at the house on Renmin Road. The lesbian was surnamed Yu. It is said that her ancestors were capitalists, and her husband was originally a professor at Dongda University. "

Mrs. Niu nodded: "I've heard of some."

Gu Lichun said angrily: "A son in her family was taken away by a lunatic and thrown into the river a few days after he was born. Director Bi said that I was her son because I looked a little like Yu.

Sister-in-law, I was born in Dongyun County, more than 100 miles away from Qingjiang County. Just because I look like the surname Yu, they say that I am the son of someone who died. Things, get a major blow, become crazy.Now that her husband is away, leading her two children to live a difficult life, Director Bi repeatedly visits her door to inquire about this matter, provoking her with her saddest things. Do you think this is a human matter?Sister-in-law, please help me judge. "

Mrs. Niu stared at Gu Lichun for a while, and said, "Comrade Gu, I think you really look like Yu Tianlan."

Gu Lichun said nonchalantly: "Maybe it's because my face is easy to bump into. People often say that I look like a movie star. When I went to the movies last night, some people stared at me. The surname Bi is so If you have the ability, why don't you say that the movie star is my dad, if he succeeds, I will send him a pennant."

Mrs. Niu couldn't help laughing when she heard these words.

However, she also had to admit: "Comrade Gu, you are indeed quite handsome. By the way, do you have a date?"

Gu Lichun: "..."

He hurriedly brought the topic back: "Sister Niu, you see that I am in the same situation, how can I have any thoughts about who I want to be? Please help me, introduce people from the Revolutionary Committee, I am going to explain clearly to them. If they think whose son I am, they should investigate clearly, and if they don’t investigate, then stop scaring people with empty words.”

Mrs. Niu smiled and said: "You, don't worry, finish eating the noodles quickly, it's almost cold, I'll help you to ask."

After speaking, she untied her apron and went out.

Gu Lichun continued to eat noodles.

After more than ten minutes, Mrs. Niu came back.

She smiled and said, "Comrade Gu, you are really lucky. I happened to meet Lao Qin on the street. Go and tell him."

As soon as Gu Lichun looked up, he saw a middle-aged man with a big face and a round waist. He was wearing a military overcoat with his arms open and a wide brown belt around his waist. , looked very proud.

Gu Lichun quickly stood up and said politely: "Committee Qin, hello, my name is Gu Lichun, and I am the section chief of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department of Honghe Farm. This is my work card." He then handed over his work card respectfully.

Commissar Qin glanced at his work permit, then looked at Gu Lichun with piercing eyes: "You became section chief at a young age? Not bad."

Gu Lichun replied modestly: "Our farm is the grassroots of the grassroots, and our subfield is newly built, with a shortage of talents. If the general is selected from among the dwarfs, I will be selected."

Committee member Qin read Gu Lichun's name twice, and said, "Honghe Farm, Gu Lichun, looks familiar to me."

Gu Lichun's heart skipped a beat. His so-called familiarity might be because Director Bi had already reported his story, and he might have a slight impression of it after seeing it.

However, he still said calmly: "I published a few pieces of tofu in the newspaper before. Commissar Qin may have seen it in the newspaper often. Your memory is really good, you can remember all of this."

Committee member Qin slapped his forehead: "That's right, I saw it in the newspaper, haha, you little comrade, you are very good."

Committee member Qin's attitude changed subtly, and he invited Gu Lichun to come in and sit down.

Gu Lichun took the opportunity to say to Mrs. Niu: "Committee Qin must not have had breakfast yet, sister-in-law, help me prepare some breakfast." He took out five yuan and handed it to Mrs. Niu, who smiled and went to prepare.

The two sat and chatted. Committee member Qin asked about Gu Lichun. Gu Lichun restrained his anger and repeated the matter. However, this time, he added about Wang Nianmu.

"Commissioner Qin, this is my first time in the provincial capital, and I have never offended Comrade Wang Nianmu. I don't know why he wants to join forces with Bi to harm me?"

Committee member Qin looked at Gu Lichun and said meaningfully: "You didn't offend him, he didn't target you. The two of them are taking what they want."

Gu Lichun was taken aback for a moment, and asked curiously: "Committee Qin, do you mean that the one surnamed Wang is targeting the Meng family?"

Committee Qin was noncommittal.

Gu Lichun said angrily: "I've also heard about the Meng family. People in their family were reformed through labor, and those who went to prison went to prison. Now there is only one half-crazy woman and two children left. Over them, is Wang Nianmu still a human being?"

After Gu Lichun finished cursing, he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly said: "Committee Qin, don't mind my slippery tongue."

Commissar Qin smiled lightly, why would he mind scolding Wang Nianmu?

However, this kid is very young, he can write well, and his eloquence is also good, so he can be used as a helper.

Thinking of this, Commissar Qin's expression became even more amiable.

Just at this time, Mrs. Niu came in with two bowls of wontons on a tray.

She put the big bowl in front of Commissar Qin, and the small bowl for Gu Lichun, and said to Gu Lichun with a smile: "Little Comrade Gu, I'm not biased, it's because you ate noodles just now, this bowl, You will eat with Lao Qin."

Gu Lichun smiled and said: "I understand, my sister-in-law is really a considerate person."

Mrs. Niu brought in two more plates of pickled vegetables, and put the chili sauce that Gu Lichun had brought on the table, then closed the door and went out.

Commissar Qin dug a spoonful of chili sauce and poured it into the wonton soup. While sucking his mouth, he exclaimed, "This chili is delicious."

Gu Lichun: "Commissioner Qin likes spicy food?"

Committee member Qin nodded: "I like it, I don't like spicy food."

Gu Lichun said: "That's a coincidence, I also like spicy food. Our family not only likes to eat it, but also likes to make chili sauce. I gave this chili sauce to Mrs. Niu."

Committee Member Qin laughed loudly: "Hey, then I'm really lucky, just in time."

Gu Lichun hurriedly said: "If Commissar Qin likes it, I still have a few bottles with me, and I'll give it to you later."

Committee member Qin nodded: "Okay, then I'm not going to be polite. ——Continue to talk about your business, what are you going to do?"

Gu Lichun couldn't help but sighed: "I don't know what to do? Committee Qin—"

Committee member Qin interrupted him: "Don't be a committee member, my name is Qin Fen, you can call me Lao Qin."

Gu Lichun said: "Then I'll call you Brother Qin, that's what we call you there."

"what ever."

Gu Lichun continued: "Brother Qin, let me tell you the truth, this is the first time for me to go on a business trip, and it is also the first time for me to travel far away, and so is my partner. We are not familiar with each other. Well, my partner was terrified, he was afraid that the Revolutionary Committee would send someone to arrest him for interrogation, and he was clamoring to go back, but our task has not been completed yet."

Qin Fen drank a big mouthful of wonton soup, his forehead was sweating from the heat.He took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Gu, you young people still have few things to do, and the Revolutionary Committee can't arrest people casually."

Gu Lichun breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a wry smile: "It's not a big deal, we have been growing up in the countryside, how did we go through this kind of thing? Brother Qin, once you say that, I have confidence in my heart. How about you get us An idea, how to do this?"

Qin Fen ate the wontons and said nonchalantly, "This matter is just a trivial matter. In this case, I will go back and tell the people in the political office not to accept such matters. After the new year, production, education, water conservancy projects There are a lot of things waiting to be dealt with, who has time to deal with their personal grievances? The office does not accept, I think the surname Wang dares to take the initiative to arrest you?"

Gu Lichun tentatively said: "Brother Qin, how did I hear that the person surnamed Wang is the director of the office? How powerful is he?"

Qin Fen said disdainfully: "He's the director of the office? Let him down, he deserves it too? Let me tell you, he's a reserve member, that is to say, he's not even a member of the Standing Committee."

Gu Lichun felt more at ease now.

He pretended to be angry and said: "I was deceived by the surname Bi. That guy said that Wang Nianmu was a director. He also said that he covered the sky with one hand. If he cut off his feet in the Revolutionary Committee, the office building would shake three times."

Qin Fen sneered, and looked at Gu Lichun with sympathetic eyes: "You, you have been delayed, and you have seen too little of the world, and you will believe it when others brag about it."

Gu Lichun looked educated: "It's fortunate that I met Brother Qin, otherwise I would have been kept in the dark. I have seen little in the world, so there is nothing I can do. I am from a rural background and can be a farm worker It took a lot of effort. It’s the first time I’ve lived in a big city like Dongzhou for more than ten years. Seeing the bright and confident city people, I feel ashamed.”

Qin Fen deeply believed that young people from small places were like this.

He encouraged Gu Lichun: "Work hard, you are a promising comrade."

Qin Fen finished eating the wontons, wiped his mouth, stood up and said, "Xiao Gu, you can rest assured and go back to the hotel. Don't worry, no one will arrest you. If you are to be arrested, it must be someone from the Public Security Bureau. If he dares to fight, You just make a lot of noise, and the bigger the trouble, the better. If there is any problem, you can ask Mrs. Niu to call me, and I will help if I can. It’s not for anything else, it’s not easy for you, a young man, to go out.”

Gu Lichun said gratefully: "Thank you Brother Qin, I really met a noble person. Your words cleared away the dark clouds in my heart." Qin Fen left with a full stomach.

Gu Lichun sent him outside the courtyard, and thanked Mrs. Niu several times when she came back. Mrs. Niu pursed her lips and said proudly, "It's nothing to do with a little effort." Then, she handed over the change she had found.

Gu Lichun confiscated it: "Let's just leave it here, we'll come over for dinner these two days."

"That's fine." Mrs. Niu took back the money again.

Gu Lichun bid farewell and left.

He walked halfway and happened to meet Zhao Gao. It turned out that Zhao Gao didn't dare to go back to the hotel, so he was waiting for him here.

Gu Lichun told Zhao Gao about seeing Qin Fen: "Committee Qin said that we are fine now, and the Revolutionary Committee can't just arrest people."

A stone in Zhao Gao's heart finally fell.

He saw that there was no one around, and quickly stuffed the things to Gu Lichun: "This is what Aunt Yu gave you, she still wants you to go back to the farm first."

Looking at the rising sun in the east, Gu Lichun said, "What farm are you going back to? It's already the beginning of spring, and some bedbugs should be eradicated."
