Counterattack in the chronology

Meng Nianqun stammered, "Comrade Gu, my father is also on the list."

Gu Lichun thought that he was asking himself to take care of his father, so he said, "Don't worry, I will take care of him within my ability."

Meng Nianqun shook his head: "No, I'm asking you not to take care of him."

Gu Lichun stared at Meng Nianqun for a while, then asked calmly, "Why?"

Meng Nianqun forced a smile: "I have two reasons: one is that you look so similar to us, if you take special care of him, someone will definitely make a fuss about it, which is not good for you; the other is that my father came to five , with the atmosphere of your five games, their life must be better than before, and you can live well without taking care of him."

Gu Lichun said: "Okay, I understand."

On the second day, the reform-through-labour prisoners from each field, mainly those from the four fields, were transferred over.The first batch of 60 people, without exception, are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Some suffer from rheumatism due to living in a dark and humid place all year round, and walk with a limp.Some are sick from overwork, some are inherently sick, and some are old and infirm, all of them are ragged and skinny.

They behaved deferentially, hardly looking up at people.Gu Lichun glanced roughly, there were a few acquaintances inside, Guan Yinghua and Professor Lin, Gu Lichun immediately recognized Chen Ping, who was pale and recovering from a serious illness, Chen Yu's aunt, and Chen Yu looked a bit like her.

Sensing his gaze, Chen Ping quickly raised his head to look at Gu Lichun, then immediately lowered his head.The last acquaintance was Meng Anjing, whom he had heard of but had never met. He was about 50 years old, with a thin body, a pale face, gray hair, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to himself.He kept his head down, staring at the ground.Gu Lichun just looked him up briefly and didn't pay any more attention.

The ones in charge of the handover are Lao Yang and Lao Ma from the fourth field. Both of them are from the security department.When they came, one was holding a whip in his hand and the other was carrying a wooden stick. It was obvious that the prisoners in the labor camp were very afraid of him.

Lao Yang yelled at the reform-through-labour prisoners viciously: "Everyone is lined up in a bloody line, what a crooked look it looks like."

As Lao Yang was talking, he walked over and kicked a trembling old man, who swayed a few times before barely standing still.

Gu Lichun frowned, and said to Lao Yang: "Old Yang, I don't care how you treated them before, but now they belong to our five games, just follow our rules. If they are killed or injured, who will be responsible?"

Lao Yang rubbed his nose and said with a dry smile, "Haha, I'm used to it, it's fine, just a kick, it won't kill anyone."

Everyone quickly lined up in three teams and stood up.

Lao Yang turned his face to Gu Lichun and said with a smile: "Little Gu, these people will be handed over to you in the future. Let me remind you, you must stand firm on your class position, and don't sympathize with them just because they are pitiful." .To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to one's own people. Beat when you should fight, and scold when you should scold."

Gu Lichun said nonchalantly: "Comrade Yang, don't worry, I will definitely learn from you and treat them as cruelly as you."

Lao Yang smiled, and felt that something was weird, but he couldn't fault it.

At this time, the old horse came over.He pointed to this group of people and explained their general situation to Gu Lichun.

Everyone's charges are different and varied.

Professor Lin is accused of following the path of Baizhuan because he is devoted to scientific research and does not care about politics; Professor Guan is accused of being a rightist faction;Among these crimes, Gu Lichun had only heard of a few familiar ones, and heard of the others for the first time.The breadth and depth of Chinese characters can be seen.

The old horse continued to explain some precautions: "Their meal standard is two grains corn bread plus a bowl of vegetable soup or porridge for each meal. Only green vegetables are allowed for cooking, and meat dishes are not allowed; if the labor tasks cannot be completed, or If you make a mistake, your food for the day will be deducted; you are not allowed to go out at will, get up at 6:7 every day, run for an hour, have breakfast at 7:[-], start work at [-]:[-], and finish work at [-]:[-] pm. Someone must supervise you when you start work. Participate in the study class, hold a life review meeting once a week, and let them report to each other. You should also pay attention to their thoughts and trends at any time, and report to the field or the Revolutionary Committee if there is any change. Be careful when sending things and letters. examine."

Gu Lichun took a notebook and wrote down one by one: "Thank you for imparting your experience, we will manage these people well."

Lao Yang walked around the neighborhood, and said dissatisfiedly: "The place you live here is so good, isn't there any broken house? They are here for labor reform, not for enjoyment."

Gu Lichun shook his head: "No, the five games are new, and the house has only been built for a few years."

Lao Yang went on to say: "Then I suggest to get them a few sheds to live in."

Gu Lichun raised his eyebrows: "We all know that there are few people in our five games, otherwise we wouldn't accept these people, or you can help us build a shed?"

Lao Yang laughed and didn't mention it again.

The old horse asked: "Have the guards been fixed? There must be special people to guard them."

Gu Lichun said: "Not yet, this matter has to be decided by the superior."

Lao Yang and Lao Ma were obviously not at ease with Gu Lichun, a young man, and repeatedly asked: "Little Comrade Gu, it's not that I talk too much, you are too young to know the dangers of the world. It’s dark. Class enemies, full of culture, how scary. Don’t be confused by them. Don’t talk to them, and don’t talk to them in your five-field employees, let alone let them read books and newspapers.”

Gu Lichun looked at the two of them with a smile on his face: "Comrade Yang, Comrade Ma, you are busy enough with your own work. Since you entrust it to me, you have to trust me. I am young, but I have a high awareness."

Lao Yang looked at each other with a wry smile, shook his head and remained silent.

Before leaving, the two also gave Gu Lichun the weapons in their hands.Gu Lichun turned around and threw the things into the corner.

Next, he asked Zhao Gao and Sun Houyu to lead the group to the dormitory, divide the beds, and let them arrange the beds and luggage.

When everyone saw such a spacious and bright room with clean new beds, they couldn't help being stunned.

Someone tried to ask Sun Houyu: "Is this really for us?"

Sun Houyu replied kindly: "That's right, our brother Gu specially asked someone to make room for you, so pay attention to hygiene."

Zhao Gao and Sun Houyu habitually went to help carry the luggage while they were talking. Everyone was taken aback and quickly grabbed their luggage: "No need, we will do it ourselves."

Gu Lichun called the two of them and said, "They are reform-through-labour prisoners. You should treat them coldly."

The two were puzzled at first, and then understood.There are quite a few people staring at them, if they are too enthusiastic, they will be in trouble.

Gu Lichun said again: "It's fine to treat them normally, no beating, scolding or abuse is allowed."

Zhao Gao hurriedly said: "Brother Gu, don't worry, there are no abnormal people here." Why abuse people without injustice?The net is the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, can you bear it?

Their manpower was still insufficient, so Gu Lichun suggested to Deng Zhang that Zhao Gao's second brother, Zhao Jianli, be transferred to manage the gang of reform-through-labor prisoners, because he has a fierce face, and this fits people's imagination of supervision.Let Sun Houyu be with him to help with chores, and Chen Jie to help manage the women's dormitory, three people are enough.

Sun Houyu was overjoyed when he saw that he had been promoted.

The group of prisoners in the labor camp felt a little unreal these days. No one beat or scolded them. Not to mention the bright and spacious living quarters, the food was also greatly improved. The taste is also much better.

The people on the pig farm would occasionally give them some leftovers and leftover soup. Whenever they saw someone coming with a wooden barrel, many people were full of anticipation.

On this day, Chen Jie and Meng Nianqun went over with buckets, and while Chen Jie was sharing the soup with them, Meng Nianqun quietly walked up to Meng Anjing and called "Dad".Meng Anjing looked around vigilantly, seeing that everyone was eating, and no one noticed for a while, so he said quickly: "Don't worry about me, don't talk to me too much, I'm fine now."

Meng Nianqun whispered: "Your rheumatism has occurred again, I prepared a box of ointment for you."

As he spoke, he quickly stuffed the ointment into Meng Anjing's hand.

Someone looked at them, and the two immediately fell silent.

After sharing the vegetable soup, Chen Jie and Meng Nianqun went out with buckets.

In addition to leftovers and leftover soup, Gu Lichun had someone build two simple bathrooms in the yard, one for men and one for men.There are two large tin buckets hanging on it, and someone is responsible for pumping water up with the tap every day. After a day in the sun, it is just right for a bath.

After that, there is the assignment of work.The autumn harvest has not yet arrived, and there is not much work on the pig farm, just cleaning the pigsty, feeding the pigs, releasing the pigs and so on.

Gu Lichun tried to distribute them fairly according to their age and physical fitness.The young and strong do the key work, and the old and weak are responsible for herding pigs, beating pigweed, weaving rope sacks, etc., and also arrange some people to herd ducks and geese.

Meng Anjing's job is to herd pigs, while Lu Jingjing manages the vegetable garden. Professor Lin and Professor Guan are assigned to the forest farm. blocked.

Gu Lichun had made his name with the Revolutionary Committee a few days ago, and the members of the Revolutionary Committee were staring at him recently.They couldn't get him into trouble at this point.Professor Lin was right when he heard it, so he stopped mentioning it.

These experts and professors are well-behaved and work diligently.They get up automatically at five o'clock every day without being shouted, run around the pig farm, and recite quotations.

The workers in the pig farm couldn't bear it, and complained to Gu Lichun one after another: "We woke up at five o'clock, and we were still sleeping. Even the pigs were woken up, screaming for food."

Gu Lichun thought about it for a while, and changed the rules accordingly, asking them to get up at 6 o'clock, first sit quietly near the alfalfa field, bask in the sun, then have breakfast, and usually go to work at 8 o'clock, and there are other regulations during busy farming periods.

In fact, this regulation is more suitable for this group of people. They are busy from morning to night every day, and they are seriously exhausted. They don't need physical exercise at all, not to mention some people have limited mobility and are not suitable for sports.Now, sit quietly, you can have a good rest, the sun in the morning makes you feel very comfortable, it is good for your body, and you can take this opportunity to let your mind go.

Lao Yang and Lao Ma have been worrying about the management of the fifth game, so they came to inspect this morning with four members of the Revolutionary Committee, Wang Tie and Jin Fa.Once they got near the clover fields they discovered the problem.

A group of reform-through-labor prisoners sat there basking in the sun without running or reciting quotations. Are they still reform-through-labor prisoners?

Lao Yang was furious, and really wanted to kick him alone.

Wang Tie and Jinfa looked at each other, and they discovered a new trend in class struggle.

The four of them had their own ulterior motives and approached Gu Lichun aggressively.

Lao Yang pointed at the people basking in the sun and said, "Comrade Gu, it's time for them to exercise, how can you let them bask in the sun?"

Although the people basking in the sun did not dare to whisper to each other, it did not prevent them from communicating with each other with their eyes. Most of them had worried expressions in their eyes.I was afraid that Gu Lichun, a young man, would not be able to deal with the cunning and cruel old Ma and Lao Yang, so he would cancel this benefit.

They all pricked up their ears, listening to the conversation here.

Gu Lichun said straightforwardly: "You few leaders of Marxism-Leninism do not understand the ideology deeply enough. The leaders' ideology is as brilliant as the sun. These individuals, whose hearts are full of decadent and dark bourgeois ideology, should use our socialist red sun To expose them to the sun is called body and mind disinfection.”

Four people: "..."

The old horse said: "But your practice is against the rules."

Gu Lichun asked: "What's wrong with the regulations? They were the regulations in the past. We must keep pace with the times and constantly innovate our thinking. The regulations are not the "Constitution". The Constitution is not taken seriously. We dare to change the sun and the moon to a new sky, let alone a mere regulation, old horse, you have committed a right-leaning conservative mistake."

The old horse was speechless for a moment.

Lao Yang stared at Gu Lichun and said: "Comrade Gu, even if you tell the flowers, it is still a violation of the farm regulations. If someone reports to the superior, you will have to eat and walk around."

Gu Lichun said without fear: "I didn't say anything, I just changed this rule based on the actual situation of our five races. They memorized the quotations at five o'clock running, which alarmed the pigs and workers. Our work needs a good night's sleep for our work. Contributing to the society, our pigs need to sleep and grow meat to contribute to everyone. These people came to us five times to reform through labor. We can’t let them reform us, right? You can talk about the rules, and build us a dormitory first. .Allocating funds and labor is fine, no, no discussion.”

The old horse said helplessly: "Comrade Gu, we are only in the security department. It is our turn to decide these matters."

Gu Lichun smiled slightly: "You have a lot of objections, and you feel that you are the master of the farm; when you talk about doing practical things, you hesitate to be the master. No matter how reasonable you say, you can't be too two-faced."

The two looked at each other, speechless.

Hearing that Lao Ma and Lao Yang were rendered speechless by Gu Lichun, the group of experts and professors sitting quietly moved their eyelids, blinked their eyes, and showed each other gratified smiles.

However, before everyone was happy for a while, the next conversation was like a dark cloud floating in a sunny day, casting a shadow over their hearts.

Wang Tie and Jinfa, who had not spoken all the time and only listened quietly, suddenly said, "Comrade Gu, I forgot to tell you, we were appointed by the Revolutionary Committee to help you manage and supervise these reform-through-labour prisoners."
