Chapter 84 Study Class
The telegram was left in Chen Bei's pocket for twelve hours, soaked in sweat and became blurred. He was finally leaving this country. Chen Bei suppressed his excitement and handled everything patiently.
First of all, the family property. Over the years, I have saved 400 yuan in savings. I have stored it in the People's Bank of China under the name of Ma Chunhua. It must be withdrawn. It took some trouble to withdraw the money because the deposit was a five-year fixed period, which was about to expire half a year, wasting a lot of interest. The bank staff persuaded him for a long time, but Chen Bei insisted on taking it out. He brought the household registration book and his work permit, and finally took out the huge amount of money.
In addition to some crude benzene furniture, the only valuable thing at home is a domestic radio, and there are also some tickets, food coupons, cloth coupons, chemical fiber coupons, soybean oil coupons, tofu coupons, match coupons, and all of them are given to Liu Ma.
"Chen Bei, what are you doing? But what are you going to do?" Liu Ma was puzzled with these bills. Food and clothing are inseparable from these bills. They are all given to people. The Chen family can't even eat food.
Chen Bei vaguely said: "If you want to move, these are all tickets for Jiangbei, and it doesn't work when you go to the provincial capital."
"So I'll accept it." Liu Ma accepted the tickets, but she still felt something was wrong in her heart.
"Let's have dinner together and cook red taro porridge." Liu Ma said,
"No, I'll go to the factory to find spring flowers." Chen Bei waved his hand and left, temporarily putting a large canvas travel bag at Liu Ma's house.
...
Ma Chunhua has been attending the study class for a week. Every day, she not only studies Mao Zedong's Choice and People's Daily, but also exposes and reports each other. The study class is controlled by the rebels and the military control group is led. Students are not allowed to go home without permission. They are not allowed to meet relatives and friends without approval.
The students are basically all in power in the Chenguang Factory, and some rightists, such as Zhang Guangyin, but this time the rightists are all tied up, and the main target of the struggle is the power in power.
Lao Yu, the secretary of the Party Committee in the factory, was a cadre of the March 8th style. He lived most of his life and had suffered such humiliation. The rebels either beat or scolded him, and they would never give him food. They slapped in front of everyone.
"I can't bear the spring flowers." During several meals, Lao Yu quietly complained to Ma Chunhua.
"Secretary Yu, hold on, it will be dawn." Ma Chunhua always encouraged him,
One morning, when the name was called, Lao Yu was not here, and the guard found that he was hanged on the head of the bed.
Old Yu committed suicide for fear of crime and was more guilty. He was severely criticized. His body was not taken to the last time and was pulled to the crematorium to burn.
Everyone in the study class was filled with grief and anger, but they could only endure it silently. Although the guards were not strict, no one ran away because there was no way out. Even if they went home, they could catch people back. There was no letter of introduction in other places, no household registration, and no national food coupons. They could starve to death if they were hungry.
Old Yu had just died, and another major event happened in the study class. Zhang Guangyin was not careful when wiping the plaster statue, and actually smashed the plaster statue.
This is a heinous crime. The gypsum fragments all over the ground are as ironclad as a mountain of iron evidence. Zhang Guangyin, a rightist, viciously cursed the great leader ** and tried to smash the red sun into pieces.
Zhang Guangyin was beaten and handed over to the working group for prosecution. The military representative Company Commander Zhang held the power of life and death. After arriving at the Chenguang Factory, he had not opened a Hu. He pondered for a moment and signed the sentence to Zhang Guangyin for ten years of labor reform, for the crime of conspiracy to assassinate the great leader.
When dealing with Zhang Guangyin, Ma Chunhua was writing the appeal materials, and suddenly saw a person coming out of the window. It was her husband Chen Bei.
"Why are you here?" Ma Chunhua quickly looked around,
"Come and pick you up." Chen Bei crawled in,
"This is a study class. Don't do anything randomly, something big will happen." Ma Chunhua cares about her husband. If she is unlucky, she will be alone. If her husband comes in again, there will be no one to take care of the child.
"Follow me, our whole family will go." Chen Bei helped Ma Chunhua pack up his things without saying a word.
"I won't leave, I'll leave, you'll leave." Ma Chunhua's temper got up, and the eight cows couldn't pull them.
Chen Bei raised his hand and slapped it, with a crisp sound.
Ma Chunhua was shocked. This was the first time Chen Bei beat her since her marriage.
"If you don't leave, do you want to wait for death here?" Chen Bei grabbed the things on the table and looked at it, and threw them in front of Ma Chunhua. "You can write this material for eggs. Can you send it out? Go to the provincial capital and Beijing with me, and you will ask for anyone who wants to complain."
"Okay, I'll go with you." Ma Chunhua made a quick decision and made a decision. She was not for herself, but for Secretary Yu.
The students held a criticism meeting in the conference room and reported Zhang Guangyin's usual reactionary remarks. Ma Chunhua and Chen Bei took the opportunity to slip away from the back door, but did not dare to walk through the front door. They went straight from the factory production area to the side door and went straight to Liu's house.
Unfortunately, my son was not here, so I asked Liu Ma, saying that he was going out with his classmates.
Without saying a word, Chen Bei borrowed a bicycle to go out to find his son.
"You take a seat at Secretary Ma, the study class is over." Liu Ma was busy pouring water for Ma Chunhua.
Ma Chunhua said: "What happened to your Lao Zhang...?"
Liu Mama froze, her hand holding the teacup was trembling slightly.
"Old Zhang broke the image of the chairman and was sent to labor reform." Ma Chunhua said, "How could this happen?" Liu Yi's tears burst out, and it was a sudden disaster. It was a bolt from the blue. Since her husband was wrongly labeled as a rightist in 57 years, he has been living one after another, carefully walking on thin ice, for fear of saying something wrong, but unexpectedly something went wrong. Zhang Guangyin sentenced the labor reform to labor reform, how can this family be maintained?
Liu Ma felt dizzy and fainted on the ground. Ma Chunhua quickly stepped forward and pinched the person and stroked his chest. After finally rescuing him, Liu Ma cried and said, "Secretary Ma, you have to help us."
Ma Chunhua said, "I will do my best." But she thought to herself that Lao Yu was forced to death was okay. Zhang Guangyin broke the Chairman like this. This was a complete counter-revolutionary. Even if the lawsuit ended in the central government, it would be versatile.
Chen Bei rode his bicycle outside and shouted, "The sun is soaked in the summer, and the asphalt roads are melting. After searching all the high slopes, his son is still not seen. Suddenly, he has an idea. Every summer vacation, he will take his son to the riverside to swim.
He immediately went to the riverside and found his son. Chen Guangzheng and Liu Ma's two children were swimming together. He quickly called them ashore and put on their clothes and went home.
It was already evening when I got home. My mother was packing her things with tears on her face. Ma Chunhua was cooking under the kitchen. When the child saw her mother crying, she hurriedly asked what she was doing.
"Your father was sentenced to labor reform and was going to the Salt Lake Farm. Mom packed his clothes and bedding for him." Liu Ma wiped his tears and said calmly,
The two children started to cry.
In the kitchen, Ma Chunhua also quietly wiped her tears.
The food was set up on the table, and no one was in the mood to eat it. Chen Bei picked up the chopsticks and said, "Eat, no matter how hard it is, you can't be hungry."
The children also picked up their rice bowls and ate them barely. Ma Chunhua and Liu Ma ate very little.
After dinner, Chen Beidao: "Liu Ma, we are leaving, take care of you."
Liu Ma said: "Be careful on the road and have a smooth journey."
Chen Bei picked up his luggage, Ma Chunhua also held his son's hand, and Liu Ma sent them out. Her silhouette under the street light was so thin.
Suddenly Chen Bei put down his bag, walked over, took out four hundred yuan and stuffed it into Liu Ma's hand: "It's useful to hold it."
"I can't." Liu Ma hurriedly pushed out.
"If you ask you to take it, I can't use the money." Chen Bei forced the money to Liu Ma, turned around and left.
"Goodbye Auntie, Grandma." Chen Guang waved his hand,
Liu Mama also waved her hand: "Goodbye." She watched the family of three leave.
...
"Where to go?" Ma Chunhua asked,
"I bought a train ticket for the night." Chen Beidao,
The three of them walked to Beitai Railway Station. The train to the provincial capital departed at 11 o'clock at night. There were already hundreds of people waiting at the entrance of the station, and there were crowds of people everywhere.
The seats in the waiting hall of the train station were still in the 1930s. They were already disrepaired. There were too many people and few seats, so they could only stand. Chen Bei kept smoking and was extremely impatient. In another hour, it was July 16th.
Suddenly, a noise came from the door of the waiting hall. A team of fully armed soldiers came in to check tickets and shone the faces of passengers with flashlights. Perhaps someone was searching for them.
Ma Chunhua whispered: "It's probably coming to find me. You hide and I'll deal with it."
Chen Beidao: "The ladies' house is behind, I'll take them away, you can take your son away first."
Ma Chunhua said: "They are looking for me, what are you doing?"
In a dispute, the soldiers there had already caught the person they were going to catch, and pulled out an elderly passenger wearing glasses from the crowd, and took away the ties.
"It seems Mai Ping." Ma Chunhua said,
"Maiping is a capitalist roader." Chen Bei breathed a sigh of relief.
The waiting hall returned to its calm. After waiting for a while, a staff member wearing a blue railway uniform with a diamond-shaped armband tied on his arms came over, raised his iron horn and shouted: "Comrades in the passengers, please pay attention. Humility makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind. The train 4587 to the provincial capital is delayed."
The passengers became noisy, and some people shouted: "I want to fight for private review and repairs. When will the train be departed? Let's get it on time."
The staff said: "I am afraid of the word "seriousness" in the world. The staff is the most serious. If you don't have time, wait. When will it come and go." After saying that, he left, and went to the duty room to read newspapers and drink tea.
Chen Bei was in a hurry, but he had no choice but to do anything. He didn't drive the long-distance bus at night, nor did he drive the ship, and the time came more slowly than taking the train. He had to wait, wait, wait, and wait, every second was as long as a year. Why did the second hand of the watch go so slowly?
Ma Chunhua was not in a hurry. She found a corner to put down her luggage, while her son slept with a travel bag. She took out a teapot from her bag and took a cup of hot water. She drank it slowly, and gradually her eyelids started fighting...
As soon as he opened his eyes, it was already dawn. He was wearing her husband's short-sleeved shirt. Chen Bei was still walking around with his back naked, his eyes were red. It seemed that he hadn't slept all night, but his son was sleeping soundly.
The station staff finally came out again and held the iron horn and said, "Comrades travelers, learn from Comrade Lei Feng and report to everyone good news. 4,587 are entering the station, and the tickets will be cut in another twenty minutes."
The passengers lying down on the entire hall immediately got up and started queuing up. Ma Chunhua also woke up her son and carried her bag. Suddenly, a group of people came in outside. They were from the military management team of Chenguang Factory. They also found Ma Chunhua and pointed at this side and shouted: "Stop, don't leave."
Chen Bei picked up his son in the waist and shouted angrily: "Let's go." He fled with Ma Chunhua,
When he rushed to the entrance of the train station, a Beijing jeep was starting. The driver was sitting in the rebels from the factory. Chen Bei pulled him down, opened the door of the car and sent his son in. Ma Chunhua was moving fast enough and got on the car from the other side.
