Counterattack in the chronology

Chapter 68 Wheat Harvesting (3)

Today's meeting is very different from yesterday's. Juniper, who can jump the most, keeps his head down and doesn't say a word.

As soon as Secretary Zhu changed his attitude from yesterday, he made some self-criticism as soon as he came up. Once he made self-criticism, the people behind him couldn't do it anymore.Then came Wang Youcheng, and finally Juniper.

After all, Wang Youcheng got some real biography from Secretary Zhu, and he did a decent job of self-criticism;

Gu Lichun listened to Jun Song's slack and boring speech, and glanced at Secretary Zhu opposite him. Compared with Deng Chang, he was not as bold as he was, and he lacked management skills. Not big-minded, but also very high self-esteem.

However, Gu Lichun also understands that with the development of Wuchang getting better and better, the organizational system will definitely become more and more perfect.Even if Secretary Zhu is not there, there must be Secretary Liu and Secretary Wang behind him. The other party is not necessarily easier to deal with than Secretary Zhu. A familiar opponent is easier to deal with than an unfamiliar one.Besides, after he kicked Wang Youcheng out, no one would disrupt the situation, and the situation would be much better.

After careful consideration, Gu Lichun decided to do the same with Secretary Zhu, coaxing and wooing him, and it will depend on the situation in the future.

After listening to Jun Song's speech, Deng Zhang frowned, and originally wanted to criticize Jun Song seriously, but then he thought that the looting was imminent, and people's hearts should not be confused.

Therefore, he just stopped, pressed his hand, and said: "Since everyone has realized their own problems, I won't say more. Let's discuss next, what should we do next."

Everyone was a little surprised by Deng Zhang's tolerance, and thought that he would definitely criticize Jun Song and others severely.

They were also surprised by Gu Lichun's reaction, although things proved him to be right, there was no pride on his face, it was still the same as before.Except for a very few stubborn people, everyone's goodwill towards Gu Lichun couldn't help adding another layer.

Everyone sat up straight and listened quietly to Deng Chang's speech, actively put forward any suggestions, and stopped arguing if there were no disputes.

Everyone quickly reached an agreement that as soon as the rain stopped, Wushang would concentrate all its efforts and immediately start harvesting.

As the saying goes, when it rains heavily, jobs are lost.This heavy rain made everyone in the audience anxious, and everyone wanted to block the sky and prevent it from falling.

It rained heavily for half a day, and everyone was anxious for half a day.

The next day, the rain finally stopped, the sun appeared and disappeared, and the weather was very hot.

Now, all the employees, regardless of men, women, old and young, cadres or the masses, all went to the market to collect them together.

Passionate songs sounded on the radio, encouraging everyone to race against time and strive to be the first.

In some areas, the terrain is low and the water is deep, and the large harvesters get stuck in the mud as soon as they enter, so they have to use small harvesters and manual harvesting.

All the cadres and workers in the five farms also ended up in the field. Deng Chang was in the middle of the field, working on the spot while harvesting wheat.

Gu Lichun also cut off for a while, but was stopped by Deng Zhang and asked him to coordinate and arrange various tasks.

Gu Lichun touched his nose, he felt that Deng Chang thought he was slow in cutting.You can't blame him, he really tried his best.

The road was not very good, so Gu Lichun stopped riding his bicycle and walked directly, directing more than 30 elementary school students to do chores, and these children also came to support the wheat harvest.However, middle school students can still go to the field, and primary school students who dare to let them go to the field, don't cut off their hands and feet.

This group of elementary school students is under Gu Lichun's command, and they are also willing to follow Gu Ge.Because there are sour plum soup and sweet tea to drink, I heard that there are delicious lunches.

This group of students has little strength, but they have great energy.

Gu Lichun divided them into ten groups, and each group carried half a bucket of herbal tea to the wheat field to deliver water, so as to save the big guys from running to drink water and waste time.

This group of elementary school students had a sweet mouth. As soon as they entered the field, they shouted from afar: "Uncles and ladies, sisters and sisters-in-law, come to drink tea. Sweet herbal tea is delicious."

With a smile on his face, the big guy came over to take the gourd ladle, gulped down a ladle of herbal tea, and felt extremely cool from head to toe.

Gu Lichun also went to deliver water. He first sent a bucket of sour plum soup to Deng Zhang, and then he was going to send a bucket of honeysuckle tea to Secretary Zhu.

Secretary Zhu didn't know if it was out of guilt, but he worked very hard anyway.

He works hard, Wang Youcheng has to work hard even if he doesn't want to, he grits his teeth and works hard, but he is short and weak, and has not done physical work in these years, the sun is baking above, and the heat is steaming below, Wang Youcheng only feels that he is about to be steamed Yes, seeing stars from time to time.But the leader is still there, how dare he be lazy?The more tired he was, the more he hated Gu Lichun.

This guy really knows how to drill, he encourages everyone to work in the fields, but he runs around, wandering here and there.

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.Wang Youcheng was thinking about Gu Lichun, and Gu Lichun came over with a bucket of water.

He greeted Secretary Zhu from a distance: "Secretary Zhu, you are a veteran. You can beat two of you. This wheat ridge is wide and clean, and even the stubble is so neat. It is almost like a machine harvesting, unlike us. Young men, ragged and ripped like a dog."

Secretary Zhu laughed: "Practice makes perfect. I used to stay in the Construction Corps. However, people are old. After a while, the waist starts to hurt."

Gu Lichun said: "It's been too long for you, it's been a whole morning, and I haven't seen you straighten your back a few times. Come on, this time I have to rest for a while and drink some herbal tea."

Secretary Zhu followed the example of kindness, stopped, took a scoop of herbal tea from Gu Lichun, and drank it slowly.

After drinking it, I thought about it: "Xiao Gu, your honeysuckle tea is well brewed. It retains the original taste but also has a hint of sweetness. After drinking it, it makes people feel refreshed."

Gu Lichun smiled and said, "Drink a little more if you like it, it will clear away the heat."

Secretary Zhu drank another half of the scoop according to his words. He was about to talk to Gu Lichun when two maintenance personnel came to ask him about the matter.

Secretary Zhu went to work on site, and Gu Lichun walked away quietly.

Of course, he did not forget Wang Youcheng.

He greeted Wang Youcheng with a smile: "Officer Wang, I didn't expect you to be so active, it really impressed me."

Wang Youcheng squeezed out the word "hum" from between his teeth, and said nothing else.

Gu Lichun took out a pen and a notebook from his satchel, and made a pose for an in-depth interview: "Comrade Wang, as our correspondent for the fifth session, I would like to interview you."

Wang Youcheng gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not free."

Gu Lichun still didn't give up: "It's okay, you can accept my interview while cutting the wheat, and I won't delay your work."

Wang Youcheng: "..."

Gu Lichun asked solemnly: "Comrade Wang, after working this morning, what do you think?"

Panting, Wang Youcheng took off his glasses, wiped the sweat off them, and replied angrily, "How do you feel? I feel very good."

Gu Lichun jotted down a few strokes, and wrote down a sentence: The sweat dripped down to the soil, and the mouth did not speak bitterness.With one heart and two hands, there are cadres who are not out of production every year.

After writing this sentence, he went on to ask: "Officer Wang, do you have anything to say about cadres' grassroots labor?"

Wang Youcheng stared blankly at Gu Lichun: "Little Comrade Gu, 'If you don't investigate, you don't have the right to speak'. If you end up in person, you will know everything."

Gu Lichun said: "Officer Wang, I am from the grass roots, I am from the masses, but you are not, you need to go to the masses."

Gu Lichun made another note: "My heart is never separated from the masses, and my body is never separated from labor."

Gu Lichun continued to ask: "Officer Wang, there are cadres working in other places for [-] days, how many days do you plan to work?"

Wang Youcheng shouted unbearably: "You never finish, why did you arrest me for the interview?"

Gu Lichun said patiently: "Officer Wang is a typical example. I wanted to interview Secretary Zhu, but he is too busy, so I can only interview you. This is the last question. There are still many people waiting for me to interview."

Wang Youcheng was angry and annoyed, he just wanted to send Gu Lichun away quickly, so he said in a vicious voice: "What is 365 days of labor, I wish I could go to the ground every day for [-] days."

Gu Lichun looked admiring, and wrote down with a brush in his hand: Comrade Wang Youcheng, a model worker in my field and a member of the party committee, said that he had to work 365 days a year.

After Wang Youcheng finished speaking, he felt something was wrong again, and he asked vigilantly, "What did you remember just now?"

Gu Lichun smiled: "I'm complimenting you, I'm afraid you are not thick-skinned enough, you will be embarrassed after reading it, so I won't show it to you. Don't worry, I will ask Secretary Zhu to check it out. You can work hard. Everyone is looking at you."

The people in the wheat field were not all looking at them. They were mainly surprised. Everyone in the audience knew that Gu Lichun had a problem with Wang Youcheng, so why did they interview him?Probably because of Secretary Zhu's face.

Gu Lichun took the notebook, turned and left.Just when Secretary Zhu came back after dealing with the matter, he went up to meet him and showed Secretary Zhu the title he had just drawn up.

Secretary Zhu was very satisfied at first glance, and he said modestly: "Little Gu, you need to dig out more about the advanced deeds of the advanced people in our field, and you don't need to worry so much about our party committee."

Gu Lichun said: "Secretary Zhu, as a correspondent, although I can't be called a reporter yet, I follow the teachings of you and Deng Chang and set strict standards on myself. When I write articles, I must be objective and fair. I can't just because I am a leader. Skip it and don’t write it, it’s not in line with my professional ethics.”

Secretary Zhu smiled loudly: "Okay, you are a little reporter, you can write whatever you want."

Gu Lichun left with satisfaction.

After that, Gu Lichun wandered around and interviewed several advanced workers, one of whom was Zhao Gao's mother.

Chen Jie also interviewed several comrades. The two met in the middle of the shed, assigned tasks, and then dispersed to continue working.

Gu Lichun didn't wait to go back to the pig farm, directly took out a wooden board and put it on the broken table, sat on the tree stump, and began to write an article.

The articles are not long, and he has already set his belly height, and it takes almost half an hour to write an article.

I wrote four articles in two hours, including "The Boom of the Machine and the Grain Filling the Barn" on the overall appearance of five scenes, "The Harvest of the Earth, Mother's Smile" by Zhao Gaoma, and "The Heart Is Not Separated from the People, Inseparable from labor", Wang Youcheng wrote "I want to work for 365 days".

When Deng Chang came to arrange the work, he saw that Gu Lichun was concentrating on writing articles, one article in a while, he couldn't help being shocked.

It wasn't until Gu Lichun finished writing that he discovered that Deng Chang was in the arbor.Deng Chang frowned with a thick eyebrow, as if he was thinking hard about something: "You write so fast, if you use one word to describe it, what is your name? I can't remember it at the moment."

Gu Lichun said: "I know a few words that describe how fast an article is written, they are 'no extra point', 'a thousand words on a horse', and 'thinking like a spring'.I don't know which one you are talking about? "

Deng Chang waved his hand: "It's that 'Yi Ma Qian Yan'."

As Deng Chang said, he picked up the manuscript and read it. After reviewing, he turned his head and gave Gu Lichun a deep look. Gu Lichun always felt that Deng Chang had seen through his little thoughts.However, he did it aboveboard, and no one can blame him on the surface.

Deng Chang said: "Go to the logistics department and ask Sister Bai to get the wheat harvest subsidy. These tea drinks and added vegetables are all included in the subsidy."

Gu Lichun said: "Okay."

He went to Sister Bai to get the subsidy, and then went to Chen Jie to discuss lunch.

The tasks are heavy these days, so the food is naturally better than usual.Every meal must have meat, vegetables and eggs.

Today's lunch meat dish is boiled fish. Of course, in view of the hot weather, they can't eat too spicy boiled fish, so they make slightly spicy boiled fish. In addition, some of the ducks they raised in the swamp have become fat. Gu Lichun asked people to catch more than a dozen of them, bought them at 2 yuan each, and recorded them on the account.The other is the pigs into the water, these are cheap.Subsidies are limited and there are many people.I can only find a way to spend the least money and eat nutritiously.

In addition, Gu Lichun also used his space farm resources, such as drinking water and beverages, he directly took out a few bottles and poured them into the vat of herbal tea. Live more vigorously.

When it was time to cook, Chen Jie and Gu Lichun started to work as part-time cooks again. Today's meals are large, and there are still those few people in the cooking class. Fortunately, there are a group of elementary school students to help, otherwise it will be even more tiring.

Meng Nianqun and Chen Jie are master chefs, several family members are helpers, and elementary school students are helping and running errands.Gu Lichun was in the middle to dispatch and direct.In addition, he was also in charge of slicing the fish fillets, holding a sharp kitchen knife, and slicing the fish fillets quickly, making everyone dazzled.There are so many comrades, men, women and children, Gu Lichun was afraid that some people would not be used to spicy food, so he made four pots of fish, two pots of slightly spicy, and two pots of pickled fish, not spicy.The fish fillets were thrown into the pot and rolled in the boiling water. After a while, the fragrance wafted out.Some of these fish were caught from the swamp, and some were taken from the canteen of the field department.

The people in the wheat field began to sniff their noses and smell it hard. The smell of this dish was not enough, and the smell of the next stir-fried fat intestines floated over again, followed by the smell of stir-fried duck pieces, one after another, everyone's stomachs followed He sang a song according to the occasion.

Several activists shouted loudly: "Comrades, work harder, cut this ridge to the end, and it's time to go back to eat."

The big guy restrained his mind, bent down, swung his sickle, and cut violently.

As soon as the ground was mowed, the loudspeaker sounded again: "Soldiers, call it a day."

Some people couldn't wait a long time ago and wanted to trot all the way back to eat, but some cadres were very reserved, they had already eaten and were still working in the field.

Gu Lichun saw that everyone was not as active in eating as before, so he understood after thinking about it, so he continued to shout with a loudspeaker: "Comrades, people are iron, and food is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will feel flustered. In order to better To continue revolutionary production, you must stop work and eat as soon as possible. Individual comrades, I want to criticize you. If you are not active in eating, your thinking will soon go wrong.”

As soon as everyone heard this, they no longer had any burden on their minds, and trotted back.

Some leading comrades are no longer reserved, put down their tools, and come back to eat.

Gu Lichun led everyone to maintain order and asked them to line up for dinner.

"Everyone, don't be crowded, line up, there is enough food, and everyone has a share."

Deng Chang and Secretary Zhu also came back. They were sitting in the awning. Someone came to help them cook. Deng Chang waved his hand: "No, let them eat first."

Everyone quickly divided into four teams to eat, each with a large spoonful of pickled fish or boiled fish, depending on personal taste, three pieces of duck meat, a spoonful of stir-fried fat intestines, enough green vegetables, as much as you want, if you don’t have enough staple food, just add it.

The person in charge of cooking does not shake or tremble, and everyone is treated equally.

After everyone had finished cooking, Gu Lichun and Chen Jie helped Deng Chang and Secretary Zhu prepare the meal and served it.

Sister Bai and Qi Ke are also at the end of the line to cook, and they have to do it by themselves.After dinner, everyone sat around and prepared to eat.

Sister Bai smiled and said, "Little Gu has worked hard, this is one person with several jobs."

Secretary Zhu also said: "Little Gu is very enlightened, old Deng, you have vision."

Deng Chang twitched the corner of his mouth to respond to Secretary Zhu, turned his face to Gu Lichun and said, "You also sit down and eat."

Gu Lichun brought his own lunch box and sat among them, and everyone started talking while eating.

We started talking about work, and then started talking about food.

Sister Bai likes boiled fish the most, and she can't stop eating it while it's so spicy.

Secretary Zhu likes fish with pickled cabbage and stir-fried duck.Qi Ke and Liang Ke like to stir-fry fatty intestines.

Deng Chang, he can eat anything, and he should like everything.

Wang Youcheng was also sitting at this table. His face was flushed with exhaustion, his eyes were dull, and he was half dead after eating.

Deng Chang glanced at Wang Youcheng, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Wang performed well today, and Secretary Zhu taught him well."

Wang Youcheng didn't expect Deng Chang to praise him, so he was flattered.

Gu Lichun secretly expressed a trace of jealousy, and it happened to be caught by Wang Youcheng.But even so, so what, he still has to go to the ground.When Wang Youcheng thought about the future, his face turned ashen.

Secretary Zhu smiled warmly: "Old Deng, it's fortunate that you insisted on harvesting the wheat early. At this rate, we can finish harvesting in three days, and we can rest easy from now on."

Deng Chang was not as optimistic as Secretary Zhu: "After the wheat is harvested, the rapeseed should also be harvested. It will take a few more days."

Sister Bai said: "Don't worry, we've mobilized all the workers in the field to work overtime these few days to quickly harvest the wheat and then harvest the rapeseed. I suggest eating dinner on the field tonight, and turn on the lights in the evening, so we work extra night to harvest."

Deng Chang looked at Secretary Zhu, and Secretary Zhu said, "I agree with working night shifts."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Gu Lichun again: "Xiao Gu, you still arrange dinner. I think the big guys are very satisfied with the food."

Gu Lichun nodded: "All actions follow the command."

After lunch, the big guys continued to work in the fields.

Gu Lichun handed a few of the written manuscripts to Chen Jie, and asked her to broadcast them to boost morale.

Not long after, Chen Jie's standard and melodious voice sounded in the temporary broadcasting room of the fifth scene.The first one was "Inseparable from the masses, inseparable from labor". With subtle and enthusiastic words, Secretary Zhu was praised as a flower, and the smile on Secretary Zhu's face also bloomed into a flower.

The second one is about Zhao Gao's fucking, "The Harvest of the Earth, Mother's Smile". Hearing that it was a compliment, Zhao Gao's mother was so excited that he almost cut his leg, and everyone else looked at her with envy .

Zhao Gao was surprised and delighted, his mouth was open for a long time and he didn't close it.For the first time, he knew that his mother is so good, what a strong figure, is the appearance of the working people; the simple words represent the aspirations of the people; the hearty laughter can dilute the fatigue in people's hearts.

Wu Fat looked at Zhao Gao, and asked loudly, "Zhao Gao, did Brother Gu write about your mother? Why doesn't it look like it to me?"

Sun Houyu on the side immediately answered: "Fatty Wu, what is Gu Ge's name? That's right, the art is exaggerated, I mentioned it in Chinese class."

Zhao Gao took a look at Sun Houyu and was slightly satisfied with him.

The third article is "Veteran Breakthrough in Production Labor" in praise of Comrade Hu Dahua, and the fourth article is "The Masses are the Real Heroes" in praise of all employees.

Read it one by one, first some people were excited, and then everyone was excited together.After the excitement is over, everyone, without exception, is more motivated.Someone else offered to work overtime at night and start work at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning.

However, the last article on the broadcast was slightly controversial. This article was about Wang Youcheng's "I want to work for 365 days." , he felt he could do another 365 years.He has a high level of ideological awareness, with one red heart and two hands, leading the cadres; he is strong-willed, hard-working, sweat dripping down the soil, and never complains about suffering; "Take root in the farm to make revolution, and do it wherever it is difficult."

The more Wang Youcheng listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Yes, every sentence in it was said by himself, but why did he feel so awkward.

For example, in the sentence, "I have to work 365 days a year", working for half a day will kill him, and paying for 365 days will not give him a way out!That's right, he said this sentence, but what he said was angry. Doesn't Gu Lichun understand human speech?

Wang Youcheng really wanted to tell everyone loudly that what was read on the radio was not true, not true.But he couldn't and didn't dare.Because he saw the gratified smile on Secretary Zhu's face.

Secretary Zhu said kindly, "Xiao Wang, you did a good job this time. You have won honor for our party committee and set a good example for everyone. You have to make persistent efforts."

Wang Youcheng was not aggrieved or angry, but he still had to force a smile on his face: "The secretary is right."

The people around didn't know the truth, and even congratulated Wang Youcheng loudly.

"Officer Wang, you are on the radio. Comrade Gu's writing is really good, and the following paragraphs are really smooth."

"Comrade Wang, you really want to do 365 days of hard work. Your awareness is really high. I have to learn from you."

Wang Youcheng: "..." Learning from your size.

Someone also asked: "Comrade Wang, do you really want to work for another 50 years?"

Wang Youcheng wanted to cry loudly. If this continues, can he live to be 50?

Everyone fought all afternoon in excitement, and when they finished work and had dinner, even though their backs were sore and their arms ached from exhaustion, they all had smiles on their faces.

They eat lo mein for dinner, topped with tomato, egg and lean meat.

Each person finished two large bowls of noodles, took a break after eating, and continued to work overtime.

Electric lights were turned on in the fields, and the light was as bright as day.The big guys are all experienced hands, but no one cut their hands and feet, and they didn't stop working until nine o'clock.

When the work was over, the cooking team filled everyone's lunch box with a box of rock sugar and mung bean soup, and gave each person two steamed stuffed buns with sauerkraut and shredded pork. This was supper.Everyone was overjoyed, and everyone praised how well the cooking class did this year.

At this time, someone said with a smile: "If you praise Xiao Gu and them in the future, please keep your voice down. You didn't see the popularity of the cafeteria at noon, and your mouth was crooked."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they thought of the scene at noon.

The cooking team in the canteen heard that they had set up a temporary canteen on the ground in Wuchang, so they sent a few people to support them.This was a good thing in the first place, it could relieve the pressure on Gu Lichun and his grassroots team.

As a result, when they came, they found that it was not their job to be the chef. They were here to do odd jobs. They were regular workers in the cafeteria, but they wanted to come to the fields to work as odd jobs for a few temporary cooks.What was even more irritating was that when eating, those workers compared the food in the cafeteria with Gu Lichun and the others while they were eating. Some people even said that compared with this place, the food in the cafeteria was like pig food.

Those guys were so angry that their noses turned crooked, okay, the food in the cafeteria is pig food, so don't eat it in the future.These people had black faces all the time, as if everyone owed them money.Anyway, in the end everyone broke up unhappy, and it is estimated that tomorrow will not come.

After receiving the mung bean soup and meat buns, except for a few comrades guarding the wheat field, everyone started to call it a day and go home.

Gu Lichun and the others also started to pack the buckets and other things, and some people came to help. Some people knew Gu Lichun well, so they asked with a smile: "Xiao Gu, can I ask? What will we eat tomorrow morning?"

Gu Lichun smiled and said, "Tomorrow, we will eat pancakes and rolls, okay?"

Everyone laughed in unison: "All right."

……

Secretary Zhu felt satisfied when he looked at the tired but energetic staff. The enthusiasm was not so high in previous years. Under his unremitting guidance, the mental outlook of Wuchang has changed a lot.Xiao Gu is really objective and fair, and he is expected to be a great reporter in the future.

When he passed by Wang Youcheng, he saw that he was in a bad mood and looked at Gu Lichun with hatred. Secretary Zhu immediately gave Wang Youcheng some ideological work, and he said earnestly, "Xiao Wang, look at Gu Lichun. How broad-minded, even if there is a little misunderstanding between you, he will still praise you from an objective and fair standpoint. The content is not discounted at all, and he praises you more than others. You are much older than him, and you are more open-minded. Broader, you have to unite your comrades and not have confrontational emotions.”

Wang Youcheng was angry internally, but he had to restrain himself.He restrained himself for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say: "Secretary Zhu, don't you think that Xiao Gu is flattering me?"

Secretary Zhu looked at Wang Youcheng in surprise: "Xiao Wang, you are looking at Xiao Gu with prejudice and colored glasses. Could it be that he praises so many people because he wants to kill them? He also wants to kill me? He is a simple and idealistic person. Young man, don't think about him so complicatedly."

Wang Youcheng almost forgot that the person Gu Lichun praised was also Secretary Zhu. He almost bit his tongue in a hurry, and quickly remedied: "Secretary Zhu, I, I didn't mean that, but I thought it was complicated. Comrade Gu is not such a person, He is simple, simple." Speaking of the last sentence, Wang Youcheng almost cried, if he, Gu Lichun, was simple, would there be complicated people in this world?Gu Lichun started digging a big hole for cadres when he proposed to work on a short-term basis. Today is the day when the big hole was dug. The article he wrote was to fill the hole with soil.

Seeing that Wang Youcheng was insincere, Secretary Zhu couldn't help but look disappointed, shook his head and left.Wang Youcheng was regretful and angry, and wanted to chase after him to explain something, but he was afraid that the description would become darker, so he had to stop.

Other people on the road were talking and laughing, full of hope for tomorrow; but when he thought of his kidnapped future, he felt that the future was hopeless.
