Chapter 34 Comrade
The history told by the godfather is somewhat different from the story told by the grandmother.
More comprehensive and detailed, and also introduces later evaluations of that period of history.
It was a real education.
When the minibus returned to the group, the group returned to the new house foundation. The people who came to visit had almost left. Except for a few elders from the unitary branch, they continued to talk to grandma. There are not many people left to chat, and occasionally later, clan relatives.
The place of chatting has also been changed to the main room.
The main room is very big and has many things.
On the left hand side, against the wall, are two huge barns surrounded by mats, containing two barns of rice, weighing more than three thousand kilograms.
Beside the other wall is a slope made of sweet potatoes.
Under the row of shrines hanging in the middle of the wall, coming out from under the incense table, are the large sandy radishes that Zhou Zhi has been coveting for a long time.
One of those radishes weighed three to four kilograms, and many of them had already cracked when they were pulled out of the soil.
Sweet Potato is not small, and this main room actually has to function as a warehouse now. The entire large room is half the area, and the floor is filled with these three things.
My fifth uncle used to be a barefoot doctor. Although this title is gone now, it does not mean that his life is gone.
In addition, there is a collective winery in the village. The fifth uncle in Gujing Township is also a good talker and has gone to the county for training several times, so he also became a salesperson and helped run the business.
The farm work is mainly done by the fifth aunt and her two sons.
Today's urban-rural differences have not yet reached their most serious point. Although the three mentions and five unifications are becoming more and more important, generally speaking, in Jiachuan, rural areas have still basically enjoyed the dividends of household production quotas until now.
The province with the largest number of grain and pig production is still Sichuan Province, and it is mainly in the hands of rural households. That is not a deserved reputation.
The fifth aunt and the third sister were still busy in the kitchen. The smell of bacon and radish soup had already spread, arousing Zhou Zhi's greedy mind.
The big black dog of my fifth uncle’s family only dared to show his head now, barking at the people coming up to the big rock field.
“Heiniu, you don’t recognize me?!” Zhou Zhi shouted.
Heiniu seemed to recognize Zhou Zhi, turned around and ran towards Chaishan behind the house.
"Hei Niu also knows close comrades." The fifth uncle originally came out to greet the dog, but saw that it had already run away, so he joked with Zhou Zhi.
“In the early stages, there were still some internal conflicts in the team.” Zhou Zhi grinned: “After all, even dogs can’t stand a man as high as the fence.”
The fifth uncle laughed. : "Did you make this up right now? Come on, come on When I entered the main room and sat down, I felt that in the blink of an eye, Qing Gouzi doll had become a writer!"
The leader of the working group entered the door and sat down. The first thing he said was: "Comrade Qiaoling, you said so! Where is that package?”
Grandma looked at the shrine on the wall: "It's just under the tablet."
The shrine was very big, and it seemed like it was not a newly made thing. It was the place where the Su family's unitary room worshiped their ancestors and stored the tablets. In Zhou Zhi's eyes, it was an exquisite model of a three-and-a-half room with a large door made of camphor wood.
"This is an old thing from my unitary room. Later, when I was not allowed to hang it, my mother hid it in the woodshed." The fifth uncle added: "I just dug it out last year, cleaned it and hung it again. "
"Mom, what do you think is under the tablet?"
"It's something left by your father."
"Which room's Yaoba is there?"
"You've never seen the Yaoba in the third room, Tianjun who went out to avoid death."
"Tianjun Yaoba Dad? Didn't you mean..."
"Fifth brother, come on, my second sister will explain something to you."
My mother quickly asked grandma to chat and changed the subject.
After a while, the fifth uncle came in again: "Mom, are you saying that Tianjun's father left something and you put it under the memorial tablet?"
"Yes, I was thinking about the shrine. No one in the Su family would touch what's hanging on the wall, and no one outside would dare to touch it."
"Fifth brother, go take it down quickly," said the second concubine.
“That’s right, the camera teacher is still waiting.” My mother also answered.
The fifth uncle secretly rolled his eyes in his heart, this married daughter threw water, what qualifications do you have to say this now? I simply can’t tell the difference!
I quickly asked a few people around my grandma: "Brothers, please see this..."
Several elders, you look at me and I look at you: "Fifth brother, in our room, you can Counting the big ideas..."
Zhou Zhi suddenly said: "Grandma is still He didn’t say anything!”
The elders suddenly realized: “My enemy, our boss, Sanniang is the oldest one now! Listen to Sanniang!”
Zhou Zhi said to the second generation. My wife and my mother winked and looked very proud, meaning that they had to do this in rural work.
Only then did the second mistress and the mother realize that they had just said something extra. The second mistress smiled and nodded to Zhou Zhi, but the mother became angry with embarrassment and glared as if she wanted to hit someone.
The fifth uncle then said: "Mom, please say something."
Grandma said: "Go and take it off. I have taken it off several times and I haven't seen my ancestors. Blame, as long as your children and grandchildren do things without conscience, what can you blame?"
"Did you think about where you hid the things? If someone dares to move, I also hope that they will protect me. Later, when I hid the plaque in the woodshed, I thought more clearly. "I just thought, the hardship they suffered before was no worse than squatting in the woodshed." Bitter? If I can save my children and grandchildren from being troubled by the firewood shed, it’s not too late for me to be happy.”
"I would think so, and then they would think so, so that time, I made my own decision."
"Lao Wu, go and take it off, then take out the package underneath, organize and The task Tianjun assigned to your mother will be considered completed."
"Hey!" Uncle Wu walked towards the memorial tablet and trudged through a lot of radishes, but accidentally stepped on a radish. , and even fell down.
"Fifth uncle, let me help you!" Zhou Zhi shouted.
“I’m trying to put on the beam even before the threads have been removed!” The second mistress shouted, “You are not allowed to move, Zhi’er!”
Mom said: "Look for a ladder at Zifeng and Ziqiao, let's move the carrots away together."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Several elders from the unitary room also stood up: "If the fifth child falls, he will fall. Please take care of the memorial tablet.”
Fifth uncle. Only then did he get up from the pile of carrots: "..."
After another rush, he cleared a passage in the middle of the main room and set up a bamboo ladder. The fifth uncle and fourth brother held on, and the second brother climbed up. , taking out the small tablets one by one from the shrine.
One by one, the fifth uncle introduced to Zhou Zhi and other juniors, who is this, who is this, what should you call us, how far or how close is he to us...
Zhou Zhi asked his godfather: "Godfather, is this the Xiaozong's method?"
"Yes, Xiaozong's method can be traced back to four generations and extended to five generations. After the Wei, Jin and Tang Dynasties, the large-scale sacrificial method was changed to Xiaozong's method. Well, Ouyang Xiu and Su Che first implemented it in their respective clans. Wang Anshi first targeted the clan and introduced it to the royal family, and then it became customized."
"Su Che and Wang Anshi, Aren't these two sworn enemies? I know the background of "On the Difference of Adultery". "
" They are sworn enemies, but "On the Difference of Adultery" was not necessarily written by Su Zhe... Let me make it clear first. When you answer the question, you can’t write like this!”
While talking, the memorial tablets of the great-grandparents at the top were invited down, and everyone set up a table on the Eight Immortals Table.
The second brother started to get down from the shrine, Zhou Zhi raised his head and shouted: "Second brother, be careful, this is an old thing... uh puff puff puff..."
There is a lot of dust on the old thing.
When Zhou Zhi was dragged to the kitchen by the third sister to clean up, the shrine had also been cleaned.
The second brother went to the back of the shrine, and under the nervous gaze of the camera and the people from Jiachuan, Guizhou Province, he opened the cover and took out a blue cloth-wrapped bundle from the kitchen below.
The godfather stepped forward and carefully opened the baggage, revealing the red corner inside.
Unfolding the red cloth, it turned out to be a flag with the words - Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou Border Region Guerrilla Column sewn on the white cloth strips.
Wrapped in the flag are several books. In addition to a few books used for propaganda at the time, there is also a handwritten "Jiachuan Red Water Red Joint Special Branch Organization Specifications" and a yellow paper list.
“This is...the roster of organization members!” The leader of the Qianzhou Provincial Working Group was very excited: “Director Wu, let’s take a look first to see if there is Comrade Chen Shixun, ah, maybe also called Chen Jikun. Continue, Qiankun’s Kun.”
The godfather checked. List: "Here, Su Tianjun, there is a small list under the name, Wang Fengyu, Song Qiaoling, Chen Jikun."
"Team leader Cao, Wang Fengyu should be the martyr Wang Fengyu, and Chen Jikun, the pronunciation is the same and the word is different. Ah.”
"At that time, many comrades, even the organizers of the movement, did not have a high level of education." Team leader Cao had seen this kind of thing a lot: "Sometimes, the homonym for "hui" was used instead."
"If you don't believe me, open the "Organizational Standards" and see how many typos there are in it."
My godfather gently lifted the booklet. I opened it and read: "It's true."
"This was the reality at that time. We seek truth from facts."
"But these comrades, the difficulties they faced at that time, the problems they had to solve at that time, Their will and determination," Team Leader Cao exclaimed, "are a thousand times, ten thousand times greater than ours."
Walking up to grandma, Team Leader Cao held her hand: "Comrade Qiaoling, with your help, the issue of Comrade Chen Shixun's party membership can basically be determined."
"The same goes for you, yes. Our old comrades have also properly protected very important historical relics for the organization!”
"I would like to thank you on behalf of the Organization Department of Guizhou Province! Soon we will report the results of this trip to the relevant parties in Shuchuan, Manzhou and Jiachuan."
"Thank you! Comrade Qiaoling, we Thank you very much for your great contribution to the organization!”
……
After a meal of stewed bacon with radish and stir-fried cabbage from the fifth uncle's family, the group left Gujing Township and only parted ways when they arrived at Shuangxi Town.
Second wife has been sitting with her grandma on the minibus in the county. Now it’s time to break up: “Mom, I’m leaving.”
“Let’s go, be good. Work."
"Hey."
"Would you like some of the radish and cabbage heads that my dear grandson and his fifth uncle collected?"
"Grandma, I can't call it a search or a visit to relatives!"
"Mom... no need, there's still a long way to go. Take good care of yourself."
"Go. Go ahead, don’t delay your colleagues.”
“That’s a comrade, Mom, so are you. Let me be proud forever, Comrade Qiaoling!”
