Counterattack in the chronology

Gu Lichun thought hard all night and revised it twice before he barely finished the draft.Sure enough, it is still easy to write about others, just boast to death.When it comes to himself, some words can't pass his level first, it seems that his skin is still not thick enough.

Gu Lichun thought about it, since he praised himself for not being able to deal with it cruelly, he should praise others, the leader, colleagues, and all the staff.Praise others, dignify yourself.Thinking of this, Gu Lichun drastically revised the manuscript, and finally regained the familiar feeling.

The title of the speech is "Battle in the Wide World".The next day, he took the manuscript to the two leaders for review.

Deng Zhang looked at it first, and said after reading it: "Can you remove my name? I'm afraid I will feel uncomfortable at the scene."

Gu Lichun said solemnly: "Deng Chang, you can face difficulties calmly, and you can also face honors calmly. This is not to be surprised. The times have changed, and the tests are also changing. I feel that as long as you withstand my wave of tests, you will be able to survive in the future." All sugar-coated cannonballs and bullets will be invisible in your eyes. This is called "the sea was once too difficult to be water", except that Moutai is not wine."

Deng Chang was speechless for a moment: "..."

After a while, he said: "It seems that you really listened to what I said. You praised yourself for being reserved." It is to praise others for being too reserved.

Gu Lichun saw that although he did not approve but did not insist on objecting, he hurriedly said: "Since Deng Zhang does not object, then I will show it to Secretary Zhu and listen to his opinion." A few sentences are not smooth, and have to be revised, even for rhyme.

When Secretary Zhu read the manuscript, the smile on his face never stopped. He accepted all the compliments in the article, and even helped Gu Lichun change a few words, which appeared to be deeper and more powerful.

Gu Lichun got the final draft and began to take time to recite it. He planned to give a speech without it.

One day later, the wheat harvest summary meeting of Honghe Farm was held in the large square in the center of the town. The leaders, employees, and family members of Honghe Farm were all present.

Gu Lichun also saw Zhao Zhijun and Uncle Lu, no, it was Lu Mingfei who saw him first, because he had a good view when he sat at a high position, could it be bad to sit on Grandpa's neck?A five or six-year-old boy was hunched over Zhao Zhijun's shoulders. The boy was a little thin, with big eyes looking around.

Gu Lichun went over to greet them, and the two of them were surprised to see him.

Zhao Zhijun asked, "Is your family all right?"

Gu Lichun nodded: "Everything is fine."

A smile appeared on Uncle Lu's stern face: "Little Gu, you have quite a reputation recently. Sure enough, I saw the right person."

Zhao Zhijun looked at Gu Lichun and asked suddenly, "Are you going to speak on stage later?"

Gu Lichun nodded, Uncle Lu was taken aback, and blamed Zhao Zhijun: "Why didn't you tell me?"

Zhao Zhijun: "You didn't notice him as soon as he came on stage."

Uncle Lu said: "Little Gu, don't be nervous, don't look down when speaking, just look down at the manuscript."

Gu Lichun nodded, "I'm fine, just say it bravely."

A few people were looking for seats while talking, and the employees of each branch sat together. Zhao Zhijun was not from their fifth field, but he also came with Uncle Lu.

"Here, here." Fatty Wu greeted loudly, this guy regarded the venue as a movie theater, with peanuts, melon seeds, popcorn, small twists, popsicles, soft drinks, and herbal tea.

Gu Lichun gave Zhao Zhijun's son Zhao Minghua two small twists, and Zhao Minghua whispered, "Thank you brother."

Lu Mingfei knew them well, so he was not polite at all, and picked out his favorite food by himself.

They found a place to sit down, and the venue was still noisy, when they heard someone on the rostrum in the middle of the square testing the microphone, "Hello, hello" a few times, the microphone buzzed continuously, and the first sentence after the sound test was: "Please everyone!" Keep quiet." Then each venue had its own cadres patrolling back and forth, and the noisy venue gradually became quiet.

The meeting officially started. First, the chairman of the labor union of the headquarter gave a speech, Deng Re, and then the secretary of the party committee of the headquarter made a speech.The content of the speeches is not the same, but the content is similar anyway. They are all other people's words, Marx, Lenin, and great men, and there are not many words of their own.Every time a speech is finished, everyone applauds enthusiastically.After the leader of the main field finished his speech, it was the field leaders or secretaries of the sub-fields below. The representative of their five games was Secretary Zhu.By the time the leaders finished speaking, the meeting had passed for more than an hour, and Wu Pang had already finished off two bottles of soda and two packs of melon seeds.

After the leader finished his speech, it was the speeches and speeches of outstanding employees in each field.Sister Bai told Gu Lichun that he was at the end, which was arranged in order of the split.

Everyone was afraid that he would be nervous and encouraged him one after another.Wu Fat also took the time to comfort him: "Brother Gu, what are you listening to these people talking about? They are not as good as you, so you don't have to be nervous at all."

Finally it was Gu Lichun's turn, Shi Shiran came to the stage, but he didn't have a manuscript in his hand, everyone was slightly surprised.When Wang Youcheng saw that he didn't get the manuscript, he couldn't help feeling a little expectation in his heart. If he didn't get the manuscript for the first time on stage, he just waited to forget his words and make a fool of himself.

After Secretary Zhu finished speaking, he returned to the front seat. When he saw Gu Lichun coming to the stage empty-handed, he couldn't help frowning, but it was too late to call him under the eyes of everyone.

Gu Lichun walked onto the stage calmly, straightened the microphone, and first introduced himself: "Everyone, leaders, comrades, good morning. I am Gu Lichun from the Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry of Wuchang. Thank you to the leaders of the headquarter for giving me the opportunity , let me make this report." There was a burst of polite applause from the audience, among which the people in the five scenes clapped the most vigorously.

With a smile on his face, Gu Lichun looked around at the audience and continued: "I never thought that one day I would dare to stand on the stage and give a report in front of so many people. Because I used to be shy and introverted, and when I was in trouble, I like to retreat, I am confused and at a loss, I don’t know where is the direction.”

Speaking of this, Gu Lichun paused for a moment, and began to turn around, his tone changed from the narration to a slightly high-spirited: "It wasn't until I came to Honghe Farm that my life opened a new chapter. It turns out that all my past , are all prologues.

By chance, I was fortunate to be a temporary worker at Honghe Farm, and then I was transferred to a pig farm as a worker and finally as an officer in the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department.

For more than nine months, under the guidance of Secretary Zhu and Director Deng, and with the help of comrades from the logistics department and the agriculture and animal husbandry department, I systematically read the works of leaders and Marxist-Leninist works. My cognition has been improved, my thoughts have been sublimated, and my outlook on the world and life have been transformed.

In the big family of Honghe Farm, I feel the warmth; in the arms of the party, my heart becomes hot;" The applause crackled, much warmer than before.

Gu Lichun waited for the applause to stop, and then continued: "The great leader once said, 'We young people are the sun at eight or nine o'clock, and hope is placed on us'. As a young man, I am extremely eager to be able to Contribute your humble efforts to the farm and the country.

I contacted the actual situation around me and found that the fifth farm where I was located was currently facing many difficulties. Because it was a newly built farm, the various facilities were not up to date, and a large amount of land was deserted and abandoned. As a poor and lower-middle peasant, I believed that the land was the lifeblood. , how can such a waste?I thought hard, trying to find the answer to the difficult problem.Coincidentally, our Field Chief Deng brought information about alfalfa from Xinjiang Province..."

"...Deng Chang and Secretary Zhu set the line, set the policy, grasp the revolution, and promote production. They never leave the masses, and they never leave the labor; they also taught us Wuchang employees to understand the spirit of the superiors, and asked us to work hard and be self-reliant. You can't "report the money you spend, ask for the lack of goods, and you can't lie in the arms of the country and blindly "wait, rely, and ask"; the enthusiasm of all our employees in Wuchang is unprecedentedly high, and we carry forward the hard-core revolutionary spirit and work hard. 'I'd rather do it myself than reach out'; we'd like to learn from each other, strive to be better, encourage each other, and be full of energy'.

We tried against all odds and tried several times.Finally, our trial planting of alfalfa was successful.The first batch of alfalfa was harvested in April this year, the second batch was harvested in May, and the third batch was harvested in June, which created income for the farm and sold the alfalfa to the provincial and capital cities. The applause rang out again, especially the employees and family members of the fifth stage, who were so excited that they almost stood up and applauded. The leaders in the audience couldn't help but give Gu Lichun an extra look.

"...the successful implementation of the wheat harvest plan this time, I think, is mainly due to three reasons: first, our employees, regardless of their positions, are all concerned about the farm, regard the farm as their own home, and report problems in a timely manner; second, We have two good leaders in Wuchang. Director Deng has courage and determination, believes in the masses, and relies on the masses; Secretary Zhu firmly grasps the general direction, so that the new ship of Wuchang will not deviate. Bring out the best in each other and jointly complete the five revolutionary goals;

Thirdly, the vast number of employees in our five venues also fully cooperated with the leaders. They 'opened their eyes and worked until the lights were turned off'.At the most critical moment of harvesting, they started singing "Dongfanghong" before dawn in the morning, and switched on electric lights on the fields at night to continue working.The off-duty bell rang several times, but I pretended not to hear it, and I had to use a loudspeaker for dinner.From them, I deeply understand that the people are the real heroes, 'they are the creators and promoters of history', and they are the firm cornerstone of socialist agriculture. "

The stormy applause resounded throughout the audience. These "cornerstones" applauded vigorously, and some people cheered and cheered.

Gu Lichun felt that it was almost done, so he responded to the title with a paragraph, and came to a powerful ending.

"As a successor to the revolutionary cause, I am fighting with the broad masses of the people in this vast world.

I firmly believe: 'Broaden the world, do a lot, stick to agriculture, is victory. '

'There are successors to our socialist cause, and our socialism will last forever and never change color. '"

Applause, thunderous applause rang out.The atmosphere at the scene was very warm.

At the front desk, Secretary Zhu's palms were red, and he laughed from ear to ear.

Deng Chang was also applauding vigorously, but his expression was subtle and weird.

As for Wang Youcheng, his heart was burning and smoke was rising from the top of his head, but he still had to keep a smile on his face, applaud desperately along with the leader, and always echoed Secretary Zhu and said, "Yes, what Xiao Gu said is really good."

The other people in the five games also had their palms red, and all of them were smiling with pride.

After applauding, Hu Dahua shared his thoughts with the people next to him: "Xiao Gu's speech can't be said to be good, anyway, listening to it makes people excited, and I just want to applaud."

The Li Shu brothers and sisters are introducing to others: "We know the people on stage, everyone calls him Brother Gu."

Many employees in the three and four games were also excited: "The one on the stage is Technician Gu who instructs us to fry rapeseed. He is not only good at technology, but also good at eloquence."

Section Chief Qian and Comrade Ma happened to be sitting together, both of them had awkward smiles on their faces.

……

In an inconspicuous corner of the venue, there were prisoners in the labor reform farm. They were watched by the staff of the farm security department, and they came out to receive ideological education.

Meng Anjing, who was sitting in the middle, kept looking up the stage, but unfortunately they were too far away, and he only saw a vague figure.Fortunately, however, he could hear the voice.

Although the meeting is over, the heat has not diminished at all. Everyone is talking about the leaders and representatives of various advanced figures. Of course, they also don't forget to discuss Gu Lichun, the dark horse who turned out this year.

"I heard that it was his first time on stage, and he wasn't nervous without a manuscript."

"He is courageous, he is a character, and he will get to know him when he has time."

"Be careful, don't mess with him, I heard that the alias is 'Gu Xiaodao', and the enemy is full of anger."

"I'm here to make friends, not to find fault. Why is he pissing me off?"

"All right, you go, come back and tell me the result."

……

Some girls shyly and quietly asked if Gu Lichun had a date.

This speech made Gu Lichun a complete celebrity in the audience, as well as a representative figure of the farm rookie.

He became famous, and Zhao Gao and Wu Fat also followed suit.

The two are now promoted to Zhao Ge and Angkor.

There was even a girl who gave the two of them snacks, which Wu Pang readily accepted and ate them all the way.

Zhao Gao reminded Wu Fat: "Not all of these snacks are for you, so take it easy."

Wu Fat replied while eating: "It was given to me, don't worry, I will save some for Brother Gu."

As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong.

Deng Chang frowned at the moment with two thick eyebrows, his face showing embarrassment, he thought for a while and had to ask someone to inform Gu Lichun to come to his office.

Gu Lichun was discussing with someone how to harvest the third crop of alfalfa, when he received the notice, he immediately rode there.

As soon as Gu Lichun entered the office, Deng Chang asked straight to the point: "The general field department wants to transfer you to the publicity department of the administrative office. What do you think?"

Gu Lichun was stunned for a moment, his mind was spinning rapidly, the administrative office of the main farm sounded very glamorous, but he went there as a small employee, and his daily job was to publicize and praise the farm and the leaders in all aspects.It's fun to do this kind of thing occasionally, but doing it every day is too torturous.He still wants to have a certain degree of autonomy and to do something practical.Then he is the most suitable to stay in the five games, he has room to play and has a mass base.

Although he had thought so much, it was only a matter of a moment. Gu Lichun quickly replied firmly: "Deng Zhang, you have been kind to me, and you are my guiding light. I don't want to leave Wuchang. .”

Deng Chang raised his eyebrows: "That's all? Just for my kindness?"

Seeing that Deng Chang didn't like this, Gu Lichun had no choice but to change his method: "I'm quite satisfied with my current job, and I also like the atmosphere of our five games."

Deng Chang nodded: "You have made a rational and mature decision." From his point of view, he also felt that Gu Lichun's staying would be more beneficial to his future development.

On the other side of the main field, there can only be endless manuscripts, endless infighting in the office, and endless internal friction.Maybe Gu Lichun is not afraid of fighting because of his temperament, but his energy is limited after all, so how can he have time to do other things when he is always fighting among himself?

Deng Chang thought that Secretary Zhu also wanted to poach corners, so he said it together by the way.Gu Lichun said without hesitation: "Deng Chang, my main job is to do practical things, so it's best to follow you." If you really want to go to the party committee office, flattering and shouting slogans is not a hobby, it's a job.Any hobby, once it becomes a job, is torture.

Hearing Gu Lichun's answer, Deng Chang seemed very satisfied: "Well, you have a good eye. ——I have already rejected it for you."

Gu Lichun: "..." You refused me and still asked me?

On the way back to the pig farm, Gu Lichun thought that Wang Youcheng was going to the grassroots, and Secretary Zhu didn't even have an assistant around him, no wonder he wanted to recruit him.Well, as a good subordinate, you have to do your best to help your superior solve problems. Since he lacks an assistant, help him find one.

Gu Lichun quickly passed the people around him.

Zhao Gao is not good, his writing is not good, and his thinking can't keep up with the rhythm of Secretary Zhu; Xiao Meng, who meets his personal requirements, but has a special status, will not be considered; in the end, only Chen Jie is the most suitable, his writing is good, and writing materials and manuscripts is not a problem. The brain is also flexible, especially recently, it has made great progress and has strong plasticity.However, it depends on what Secretary Zhu thinks. Moreover, he will give Chen Jie some extracurricular tutoring when he returns home.

Back at the pig farm, Gu Lichun arranged the date and manpower for harvesting alfalfa, and asked Chen Jie to do extracurricular tutoring in the pavilion next to the alfalfa field.

"I have a new piece of news. Wang Youcheng has been transferred to the grassroots. Secretary Zhu lacks an assistant. I think you are very suitable."

Chen Jie stayed for a while, then said cautiously: "That's the party committee office, can I do it?"

Gu Lichun said: "Why can't you? You have to be more confident, even someone like Wang Youcheng can do it, why can't you? Your character, awareness, realm, and writing style are all better than him. By the way, the most important thing is that your vision is better than his. He will."

Chen Jie was stunned: "Your vision is better than his?"

Gu Lichun smiled and said: "Think about it, if you treat me as a friend, we can help each other; as for him, he offended me recklessly, and you understand the result."

Chen Jie suddenly realized, couldn't help laughing, and nodded solemnly: "You are right."

After joking, Gu Lichun began to help Chen Jie with his homework with a serious face.

"If you want to be Secretary Zhu's assistant, first of all, you must be able to pretend. Don't be embarrassed. Everyone pretends these days. If you don't pretend, you will be struck by lightning. You have to try to pretend to be advanced and natural; secondly, you should try to memorize it by heart. , Familiar with and flexibly use the main content of Marxism-Leninism, familiarly read and flexibly use the essence of the leader's anthology. It can be correct or misinterpreted. In short, it must be used flexibly according to different situations and enemies. Another thing is to care about policies and current affairs news, read more newspapers."

"The last point, your aura must be sufficient. What you lack most now is not knowledge or experience, but self-confidence. You think, in this era, Huang Zhong has been destroyed, leaving a pile of rubble, and everyone is bricks and tiles , we are glazed tiles anyway. Don't you have to be more confident? Especially you, you are still from the capital, look at Jiang Mu, look at the educated youths from the capital and Haishi in Sichang, their self-confidence is so ordinary And you are so confident, why can’t you be confident? In the end, you have to be able to flatter, advanced and reserved flattery that people can’t refuse, believe me, few people in this world can resist.”

Chen Jie listened to Gu Lichun's long section of "homework tutoring", and found it interesting and beneficial at the same time.

She nodded seriously and said, "Brother Gu, what you said is really good. You have spoken a thought-provoking truth in a humorous language. It lifts my mood and enlightens me."

Gu Lichun gave a thumbs up: "Sentences like this are reserved and advanced flattery. You have already grasped the essence. Practice hard in the future."

Chen Jie couldn't bear it any longer, and lay down on the table laughing.

From then on, Chen Jie started to study according to the book list opened by Li Chun.She can bear hardships, is willing to work hard, has good comprehension ability, and learns quickly.Gu Lichun asked her to go to Secretary Zhu to show her face, send some materials, and report her thoughts by the way.Secretary Zhu looked at Chen Jie. Although he was still not as good as Gu Lichun, he was much better than others.

Gu Lichun began to harvest the alfalfa. This time the alfalfa was harvested smoothly, but there were some problems when drying the alfalfa. It was always cloudy and occasionally rained, which was not conducive to drying the alfalfa.Gu Lichun had no choice but to find an abandoned brick kiln nearby, cleaned it up, and tried to dry the alfalfa, first with green grass, then with a small amount of alfalfa, after a few tries, he found it was okay.Most of this batch of alfalfa was dried in the sun and the other half was dried in the sun. Comparing the two, the difference is not too big.

Their alfalfa has just been finished, and the capital and the provincial capital called at about the same time. The dairy farm in the provincial capital has already paid a deposit, and they can just ship it directly.But the capital wanted to share half of the alfalfa, so Deng Chang still used the old method and asked them to coordinate.

This time, the provincial capital is a bit out of work. Why do you coordinate every time, and there is no end?

Of course, they finally discussed it properly, and it was still the same as last time, half of the family.Just call the money directly from the capital, and let this side deliver the goods directly.

At the same time, the two made suggestions, hoping that Wuchang would expand the planting area of ​​alfalfa next year, so that it would be enough for anyone.

Deng Chang followed the good advice: "Okay, next year we will expand the planting by [-] mu." Anyway, there is a lot of wasteland.

The other party patted his chest and promised: "As long as you maintain this quality, we will charge as much as you have."

The alfalfa at Sichang was about to be harvested. As soon as he heard that the dairy farms in the capital city and the provincial capital were robbing alfalfa, Section Chief Qian called to sell it and said that the price could be negotiated.It's a pity that no matter how fierce his operations are, the opponent will not let go.Section Chief Qian was so angry that his face was as green as alfalfa, while Jiang Mu's face was as gloomy as the weather.Sichang's alfalfa can't be exported, but it's not wasted, because they also have pig farms and cattle farms, so they have to produce and sell it themselves.

The alfalfa work is over, and the work has come to an end for the time being, and the summer planting will be done later. Although it has to be in season, it is not as urgent as the wheat harvest.

Gu Lichun planned to wait until the summer planting was completed before taking a vacation.

However, before going home, he wanted to settle one thing.

So, Gu Lichun worked hard and wrote an application report.Let me complain first, saying that I have a lot of fate, how difficult my family is, my adoptive father died unexpectedly, and my adoptive mother became a widow at a young age, with four underage children struggling to support.As the eldest son, he couldn't go home often because of his busy work, so he was always worried about the safety and life of his widowed mother and younger siblings.He struggled for a long time before deciding to speak to the organization.He wants to apply for a dilapidated house that no one else wants, and take his mother, younger siblings to the farm, so that the big family of the farm can warm their traumatized hearts.

This application report was written in a very touching way, which made the viewer sad and the listener cry.

The report was sent to Deng Chang's desk first, then to Secretary Zhu, and finally back to Sister Bai.

The three parties discussed it and there was no objection. After Zhao Zhijun heard about it, he also called and said that the reservoir side had an inescapable responsibility for Gu Dajiang's death, and they should make arrangements for the family members based on emotion and reason.

The cadres of the five departments passed through here, and they reported to the general field office. The feedback from the field office was that although the farm has regulations that parents can rely on their children to live, but it is elderly parents defecting to adult children, and Gu Lichun's situation is obviously not a case. This kind.Deng Chang argued with reason, saying that the death of Gu Lichun's adoptive father was related to the farm. Although the farm paid out pensions, it was far from enough to support the family for the rest of their lives.The farm is a big warm family, not only the rules but also the human relationship.The head field office had no choice but to send the application report to the leader's desk. The head of the field and the secretary of the party committee went to the city for a meeting. Finally, the deputy head of the field made a decision, approved the request, and stated in the instructions that in order to show Democracy, Gu Lichun's matter must be made public, as long as more than half of the employees agree in five rounds, the matter will be considered passed.

The logistics department of Wuchang field office quickly wrote a public notice and posted it on the bulletin board. The employees of Wuchang field knew Gu Lichun's family situation, sympathized with him, and admired him. Most of them had no objection.Originally, Wang Youcheng, Jun Song and other few people wanted to object, but when they heard that the house Gu Lichun applied for turned out to be the haunted house that had been inhabited for many years.The two looked at each other and smiled, tacit understanding, not only did not object, but even hoped that Gu Lichun's family would move in soon.

That's how Gu Lichun's application report was approved.

It's just that there is no plan to recruit temporary workers in the factory recently, and Gu Lichun can't force his mother in, so he can only live in first and talk about it later.

When Deng Chang learned the specific address of the house that Gu Lichun applied for, he couldn't help frowning.

Is he not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, or is it because no one told him the truth at all?

After Deng Chang got off work, while he was inspecting the alfalfa field, he called Gu Lichun: "There are some problems with the house you applied for, why don't you wait."

Gu Lichun said nonchalantly: "Deng Chang's, it's okay. Those rumors are all feudal superstitions. I have justice in my heart and am fearless. The bright lamp of revolution above my head illuminates all ghosts and monsters."

Deng Chang looked at Gu Lichun for a while, and said seriously, "All right. Maybe those monsters are afraid of you."

Gu Lichun: "..." Every time Deng Zhang joked, he was very cold.

Gu Lichun's application for a haunted house quickly spread to everyone.Some people kindly came to persuade him to change houses, and many people were waiting to watch the fun, trying to see if the rumor was true.

There are also very few, like Wang Youcheng and Li Kuan's family, who are all looking forward to the bad luck of Gu Lichun's family.

Since the application for the house was approved, Gu Lichun took a group of friends to repair the house whenever he had free time. If the roof tiles were broken, he bought new ones and replaced them; the collapsed courtyard walls were rebuilt, and the weeds in the courtyard were removed. , The wasteland was reclaimed.Now I can grow a crop of vegetables and transplant some flowers; the big iron gate is rusty, and Gu Lichun has cleaned and derusted it. After repairing it, the gate looks quite decent.The window panes were also replaced, making the room much brighter.Some of the tables, chairs and benches are newly made by buying wood, and some are second-hand goods that have been scoured.

After the summer planting was over, the new home had already been tidied up by Gu Lichun.Then, he applied for a 3-day leave and went back to prepare to move.This time, Wu Fatty and Zhao Gao were also allowed to take a vacation with him at the same time.The three of them did not ride bicycles this time, but rented a broken truck at the agricultural machinery station in the town, and drove all the way back.
