Fast forward to mid-October, Yan Yucheng, director of the Revolutionary Committee of the Hongqi Commune, came to Mr. Zhou's home again. He also invited Liu Jincai to come with him. In Liu Jun's memory, this was the first time that his father did not go home first after returning from the county town.

Later, after listening to their conversation, I found out that Liu Jin was called back directly from the work unit by Yan Yucheng. As soon as Liu Jin arrived at the commune, Yan Yucheng hurriedly took him to Mr. Zhou's house.

Since their last encounter at Mr. Zhou's house, Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai hit it off immediately. In just one month, their friendship has quickly warmed up. Whenever Yan Yucheng goes to the county town for meetings, he must go to the power station to chat with Liu Jincai. And Liu Jincai also

To reciprocate the favor, whenever I went to the countryside to Hongqi Commune, no matter how late it was, I would sit down at Yan Yucheng's house and have a drink.

Neither of them drink much. They drink tea when they don't have any wine, and they mainly chat. They are about the same age, and Yan Yucheng is slightly older. Their views on the current situation and their understanding of history are surprisingly consistent. In Liu Jincai's words, "

The smells are the same."

When Yan Yucheng and Liu Jin arrived, Mr. Zhou and Liu Jun, an old man and a young boy, were talking in English. The two intellectuals were stunned for a while. Although Yan Yucheng was a student of Mr. Zhou, he majored in the Party.

Shi, I’m not good at English.

Mr. Zhou was rigorous in his studies and turned a blind eye to the visits of Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai. He insisted on finishing the entire conversation, praised Liu Jun twice, and then turned to greet the two guests with a smile.

Yan Yu maturely knew the teacher's character and was not angry. Liu Jincai naturally had no reason to be angry.

"What wind brings you two here?"

Yan Yucheng laughed, but looked around cautiously and said nothing. Mr. Zhou knew that he had something important to say, and his face became serious. He extended his hand to invite the guests into the room. The three adults sat down in the room, and the wife served tea.

Liu Jun smiled, took a book and sat on a small stool at the door, and said: "Uncle, you talk while I read at the door. If anyone comes, I will call you."

Mr. Zhou nodded.

Yan Yucheng looked at him, then at Liu Jincai, shook his head and sighed: "Old Liu, Xiaojun is only seven years old. How did you create such a son? He has become a spirit."

"Haha, you're jealous? Hey, Director Yan, don't you have a daughter who seems to be about the same age as our Xiaojun. What do you think, do you want to meet your in-laws? For the sake of our friendship, I'll give you an advantage.

"

Liu Jincai was not originally such a flamboyant person. But since there were no outsiders in the room, he just started joking casually.

Yan Yucheng’s daughter? Well, I’ve never seen it. But Yan Yucheng is very handsome. The daughter born to such a handsome father will not be ugly. It would be great to marry his daughter. Liu Jun will be the regional commissioner in the future.

Son-in-law, haha!

Although he knew it was a joke, Liu Jun was seriously thinking about this issue.

Who knows, Liu Jun is actually already forty years old, so he should consider marrying a wife.

But...Liu Jun has a wife.

Liu Jun's wife in his previous life was also from Xiangyang County, which is only more than 20 kilometers away from Liujiashan. She must be six years old this year, right? The quality of the marriage in his previous life was only average, so let's make do with it. His wife's temper was very bad. Now that he is reborn,

Back then, Liu Jun could also choose to marry another wife. But what about his son? In his previous life, Liu Jun had two sons, whom he loved as his darlings. If he changed his wife, the son he would give birth to would definitely be different from his previous life. It would be a bit difficult to handle.

Fortunately, it's still early, and my wife is growing up vigorously. When the time comes, you're welcome to marry her. Whoever dares to rob her, humph, I will use the white knife in and out with the red knife!

Just as he was thinking about the cruelty, Yan Yucheng spoke.

"Teacher, what a great joy, what a great joy..."

"What big happy event?"

Mr. Zhou knew this disciple's temperament and he was a very steady person. Now that he is so happy, it can be seen that something big has happened.

"The capital...is taking action."

Although Liu Jun had a book in his hand, he had actually been listening to their conversation attentively. When Yan Yucheng said this, Liu Jun showed a knowing smile on his lips.

The year 1976 is destined to go down in history with great splendor. In this year, too many major events occurred in the land of 9.6 million square kilometers.

"oh?"

Mr. Zhou was startled at first, and then he became happy.

"Are they all arrested?"

"Um!"

Yan Yucheng nodded seriously.

"Capture them all!"

"All three were arrested? Including that...that woman?"

Mr. Zhou didn't believe it.

Yan Yucheng shook his head: "It's not three, it's four!"

"Four?"

Mr. Zhou was confused again.

"Isn't it Jiang Qiao Yao? Where did the fourth one come from?"

Liu Jun knew that they were talking about the major event of the Party Central Committee smashing the "Gang of Four". On October 6, the Party Central Committee smashed the counter-revolutionary clique headed by *, *, Yao Wenyuan, and Wang Hongwen in one fell swoop.

On April 5, 1976, the Qingming Festival, the "April Five Incident" occurred in the capital that shocked China and the world. Passionate young people gathered in Tiananmen Square to mourn the beloved Prime Minister and angrily denounced the crimes of Mao Zedong, Jiang Zemin, Yao Wenyuan and others. At that time, Wang Hongwen

He is the vice chairman of the Party Central Committee. The ordinary people do not know the inside story and do not rank him with Jiang, Zhang and Yao.

"And Wang Hongwen."

Director Yan said softly.

"Ah? He too?"

"yes."

"When did it happen?"

"October 6th."

Mr. Zhou nodded: "Take action when it's time to take action. The Party Central Committee is wise!"

Liu Jincai smiled and said: "It seems that the central government has made up its mind this time. Mr. Zhou, the day when you will be rehabilitated is not far away."

The teacher’s wife had been smiling by her side. She didn’t understand these big things very well. Hearing what Liu Jincai said, she couldn’t help but feel extremely happy and said repeatedly: “Really? It’s great, great, this hard life is finally over… Amitabha

…”

While they were discussing national affairs, the teacher's wife suddenly said "Amitabha", and the three intellectuals couldn't help but smile.

Liu Jun secretly shook his head. The chief designer has not returned yet, and it will take another two years to correct the chaos. But naturally, he cannot say this, as it will not dampen the interest of his husband and his wife.

With the collapse of the "Gang of Four", the ten-year turmoil was officially over. Although reform and opening up did not begin until the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee in 1978, after all, the atmosphere of political pressure was becoming increasingly intense.

The situation has become more relaxed. Mr. Zhou cannot be rehabilitated for the time being, but Director Yan can give him more care, so he doesn't have to worry as much as before.

Mr. Zhou showed a rare smile and sighed: "Such a happy event should be obvious!"

My husband does not drink alcohol on weekdays, and there is no money left at home to buy alcohol.

Liu Jincai immediately took out two yuan and said, "Xiaojun, go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a pound of wine and some peanut candies."

The teacher's wife hurriedly said: "Teacher Liu, you come to my house as a guest, why do you have the nerve to ask you to pay for drinks?"

Mr. Zhou waved his hand: "Old lady, we are all close friends, and Jin Cai is not a stingy person, so don't pretend to be fat. Where can we get the money to drink at home?"

"Then... I'd better go to the bar. Xiaojun, this kid, is forced to study by you all day long. How hard is it? What a sin!"

Liu Jincai smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, please don't spoil him. What are you afraid of when a kid is running errands?"

Liu Jun stood up in time and said with a smile: "Yes, Master, I am not afraid of hard work. 'When the teacher has something to do, the disciple will do his duty.' So I should go."

The teacher’s wife smiled brightly: “This kid’s mouth is as if it’s covered with honey, and every word he speaks is pleasing to the ears. He is worthy of being Teacher Liu’s son.”

"Haha, sister-in-law, this is all thanks to Mr. Zhou, he taught me well!"

The adults laughed and finally obeyed the master's wishes.

"Xiaojun, sit down and don't move. I'm going to get a bottle of wine. Don't get a bottle of wine on the road at your kid's house."

After a while, drinks and candies were bought. Before they were served, my wife put a few candies in my hand.

"You guys eat first, I'll go to my fifth sister-in-law's house next door to borrow some eggs and fry them for you to drink with."

"Sister-in-law, if you still have a few cents in change here, don't borrow it and buy some eggs with her."

"It's okay, it's okay, Fifth Sister-in-law is a generous person, a few eggs are okay..."

"Let her be."

Liu Jincai wanted to say more, but Mr. Zhou waved his hand to stop.

"Come, let's drink and celebrate."

"Come, drink..."

The three of them drank only half-heartedly, sipping in small sips, mainly to enhance the atmosphere.

"Yucheng, if the central government has made such a big move this time, I'm afraid there will be many changes at the local level too, right?"

Yan Yucheng smiled: "Teacher can see clearly. The place has been moved. To be honest with you two, I asked Jin Cai to come with me this time. Firstly, I wanted to tell the teacher good news, and secondly, I had something to do with him.

You two discuss it."

"What's the matter? Just tell me."

Yan Yucheng looked at Liu Jincai and remained silent.
