When he arrived at the Jian'an Mine, Sun Likun's mood improved. Accompanied by Bureau Party Committee Secretary Jin Weimin, Mine Party Committee Secretary Tang Ping and Mine Director Liu Cunyi, he visited the mines and underground mines. Sun Likun was chatting and laughing, and kept joking with Liu Cunyi: "...Secretary Jin,

Secretary Tang, you don’t know how Comrade Cunyi became the mine director! This guy walked away from my back door in 1953! He said that his bones were moldy after squatting in the ministry, and he wouldn’t let me go...

…”

Liu Cunyi said happily: "Hey, old chief, I didn't pester you. It was you who took the initiative to help me."

Sun Likun said: "Okay, okay, Cunyi, let me take the initiative to help you - now I have come all the way to your one-third of an acre of land, how can you, an old subordinate, thank me?"

Liu Cunyi said carelessly: "Political Commissar, I'll treat you to braised pork once, and I'll make sure it's all fat!"

Tang Ping stepped in with a smile: "Hey, hey, Lao Liu, why don't you invite Secretary Jin and I?"

Liu Cunyi said: "I can't afford to invite you all to come. I'm not a rich man. I am now a poor and lower-middle peasant."

Sun Likun patted Liu Cunyi on the shoulder: "Okay, Cunyi, I haven't eaten your braised pork yet, and you're complaining first? I have to go too if you complain. Cheng Hui is my niece, and now that I'm here

, I have to meet you!"

Jin Weimin laughed loudly: "Cunyi, you can't escape this time, it seems you have to pluck out your hair!"

Sun Likun's sudden arrival made Sun Chenghui's family very excited. Liu Cunyi happily ran to the street and bought eight taels of fat meat. He rolled up his sleeves and cooked and fried peanuts. He also went to the vegetable garden to pull some vegetables and radishes.

She said it was because there was not enough meat, so she had to add vegetables and radishes. Zou Zhaodi disagreed with Liu Cunyi's opinion and said that it was not possible. Eight taels of fat meat should be cooked alone, so Sun Likun could eat it.

While the couple and Zou Zhaodi were busy in the kitchen, Sun Likun was already mingling with the children in the courtyard.

Sun Likun held the difficulties in one hand and nature in the other. He was surrounded by Aid Korea, Victory, Leap Forward and Panpan. He smiled happily and said: "Well, it's really a big family. There are six children alone, half a class! Come, come,

Little comrades, Grandpa Six is ​​going to inspect you today, stand in line, stand in line! Okay, stand at attention and look to the right!"

The four older children listened to Sun Likun's order, stood at attention, and looked to the right.

Sun Chengwei pointed at Sun Likun and introduced to the children in a flattering manner: "Comrades, don't you want to hear the story of beating the Japanese? Let your sixth grandfather tell it. He was a real old revolutionary! Thousands of Japanese were killed.

!”

Sun Likun smiled and said: "Dawei, don't brag, I have never killed so many Japanese - come on, little comrades, let's sing a song first: We, the children of New China, are ready to get up -"

The children immediately started singing——

Our children in New China,

The pioneer of our new youth,

Unite and inherit our fathers and brothers,

Don't be afraid of difficulties, don't be afraid of heavy burdens...

Before the song was finished, Xiao Yuejin shrugged his nose and was the first to stop singing. He jumped out of the queue and cheered: "Oh, the big fat meat is cooked, I can smell the fragrance! Brother, sister, you take a breath and smell it.

Look!"

Sun Likun handed the difficulties and nature to Sun Chengwei, pulled Yuejin into his arms, and said with a smile: "Little greedy cat, don't worry, your mother will serve it after the big fat meat is cooked, and I guarantee that everyone of you will have a portion!"

After all, Yuan Chao was older and had some experience, so he asked: "Sixth Grandpa, is it true? Are we also responsible?"

Shengli said: "Brother, of course it's true. Can Grandpa Six still lie to our children? Right? Grandpa Six?"

Sun Likun said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Grandpa Six never deceives children."

At this moment, Sun Chenghui came out of the kitchen with a small bowl of meat and a plate of peanuts. As soon as he came out, he said: "Panpan, aid Korea, you take victory, jump in and water the vegetables in the vegetable garden."

, let your dad and your uncle drink with Grandpa Six..."

Shengli immediately shouted: "The vegetable field has just been watered!"

Yuan Chao also swallowed his saliva and said: "Mom, we want to listen to Grandpa Six's story about fighting the Japanese..."

Sun Chenghui was angry: "Yuanchao, you are so old, how can you not be sensible? Take Shengli and the others away quickly!"

However, Panpan was the most sensible one, holding Yuan Korea with one hand and Shengli with the other: "Let's go, let's go, we have to pull out the grass in the vegetable field, let's go pull out the weeds."

Yuejin was determined not to leave, staring straight at the steaming bowl of meat with his two shiny little eyes.

Sun Likun picked up Yue Jin and stopped the older children who were about to go to the vegetable garden: "Hey, hey, little comrades, don't leave, don't leave. As Grandpa Six said, we will eat meat today.

Everyone has a share!”

Sun Chenghui stopped him and said, "Uncle Six, it's rare for you to come here..."

With red eyes, Sun Likun took the meat bowl from Sun Chenghui's hand, asked Shengli to find four small bowls, and divided the bowl of braised pork into four portions. Panpan, Aid Korea, Shengli, and Yuejin each gave one portion: "Okay.

Come on, kids, take it away, let’s all eat a big piece of meat! Don’t be greedy for your sixth grandpa, just go to the small table and eat it.”

Seeing the children cheering and eating meat, Sun Likun said to Liu Cunyi again: "We drink, and peanuts are very good! Cunyi, do you still remember that you made a big fool of yourself just to eat peanuts?"

ah?!"

Liu Cunyi felt extremely uncomfortable, and even choked up his voice and shouted: "Political Commissar——"

Sun Chenghui felt not only uncomfortable, but also ashamed. Her sixth uncle came all the way from Beijing to see her, but she couldn't even let him eat a meal of meat. How could this be justified? When Liu Cunyi and Sun Chengwei were drinking with Sun Likun,

Sun Chenghui was too embarrassed to go there at all. First she tidied up in the kitchen, and then walked silently to the vegetable garden and stood in a daze under the moonlight. She seemed to have shed some tears during this period.

At some point, Sun Likun came over and said, "Xiaohui, why are you crying? You are really worthless!"

Sun Chenghui hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face: "Uncle Six, I feel bad for not being able to entertain you well!"

Sun Likun said: "Why are you feeling uncomfortable? Isn't it just that there are some financial difficulties at present? That's understandable!" Walking in the vegetable garden, looking at the green vegetables, Sun Likun exclaimed, "Xiaohui, such good vegetables, Beijing can't

It’s rare!”

Sun Chenghui forced a smile and introduced: "Oh, Dawei and his children planted these."

Sun Likun pulled out a radish, took out his handkerchief, wiped it, and ate it happily: "What's up with that little Panpan who can sing the flower drum? I heard from Dawei that you and Cunyi adopted him?"

Sun Chenghui nodded: "It's an orphan girl brought back from aid to Korea. The whole family starved to death..."

Sun Likun was silent for a moment and then asked: "It's so difficult, why did you adopt her?"

Sun Chenghui sighed: "At that time, I had not yet been decentralized, and life was not so difficult."

Sun Likun thought for a while: "Cheng Hui, can I take this little Panpan away? The little guy can sing and dance. I'll introduce him to the army's art troupe as a little art soldier! It will also lighten your burden."

Sun Chenghui's eyes lit up and he said repeatedly: "Okay, okay. This... this is great!"

Early the next morning, Sun Chenghui put Panpan into new clothes, pulled a bunch of green vegetables with wet mud from the vegetable garden, and walked into Sun Likun's room in the mine guest house.

Sun Likun was waiting for them in the room. When he saw Panpan wearing new clothes, he said: "Okay, Comrade Panpan, you are like a little adult, ah? Come, sit, sit, Xiaohui, you sit too!" Pay attention!

When she got the handful of green vegetables in Sun Chenghui's hand, she said, "Oh, this green vegetable is for me, right?"

Sun Chenghui muttered in shame: "Uncle Six, I really don't have anything to give you..."

Sun Likun said with a smile: "You gave me such good vegetables, and you said you have nothing to give, you little Hui!" After that, he took the vegetables and handed them to Secretary Chen beside him, "Xiao Chen, such good vegetables are so good.

It’s really rare, go find a pot, grow vegetables for me, and take them back to Beijing!”

Secretary Chen responded, took the vegetables and left.

Panpan glanced at Sun Chenghui and said, "Mom, I'm going to help uncle grow vegetables. Don't kill him."

Sun Chenghui smiled and waved: "Go ahead and be careful not to get your clothes dirty."

After Panpan left with Secretary Chen, Sun Likun said: "Xiaohui, I really didn't expect that life for you and Cunyi would be so difficult! Yesterday, you said that you didn't let me eat meat, and I felt sad. To be honest,

, I feel more sad than you!" After that, he took out three hundred yuan and handed it to Sun Chenghui, "Take it and buy some meat for the child!"

Sun Chenghui hurriedly declined: "No, this is not okay, Uncle Six, I...I can't use your money!"

Sun Likun was angry: "Xiaohui, why can't you use my money? I am your sixth uncle! I am also Cunyi's old political commissar! I can't look at your difficulties and remain indifferent! If you, Xiaohui, recognize me as your sixth uncle today,

, just accept the money. If you don’t recognize it, just leave! Leave immediately!”

Sun Chenghui then accepted the money and held it in his hand. After being silent for a long time, he asked painfully: "Uncle Liu... Liu, do you still remember when I left Beijing in 1955, you... you

What did you say to me?"

Sun Likun waved his hand: "Remember, I told you that the road to revolution is not smooth sailing."

Sun Chenghui said seriously: "You also said that we are about to run into communism. We can't even walk together. Ten thousand years is too long. We only have to seize the day." He looked at Sun Likun in confusion, "But Uncle Liu, how do I feel about these few days?"

During the New Year's race, communism seems to be getting farther and farther away from us? Even its shadow is invisible."

Sun Likun was silent and took a rare chance to smoke a cigarette.

Sun Chenghui was still minding his own business and said: "People in our mine and sideline production brigade have spread privately that Mao Zedong can no longer eat meat. Some people say that it was Mao Zedong who took the initiative to stop eating meat when the country was in such difficulty.

——Uncle Liu, what’s going on? You leaders, why do you just watch the country get to this point? Why don’t you give the Party Central Committee and Mao Zedong a warning?”

Sun Likun paced the room sadly: "Xiaohui, it should be said that we made a mistake, a big mistake. Your sixth uncle, including you, all bear a heavy responsibility for this mistake. As you just said it, I also

Come to think of it, I made the mistake of running into communism. Not only did I say it to you, but I may also have said it to others, and I said it in public. This is a big mistake! It is subjective desire divorced from objective reality.

Yeah! But, Xiaohui, we can't lose confidence because of this and feel that communism is getting further and further away from us. I think communism is getting closer and closer. Why do we say that? Because we have made such rash mistakes.

After that, I won’t make this kind of mistake again. Don’t you think so?”

Sun Chenghui was still convinced by his sixth uncle, who was a senior cadre. He nodded and said, "That's true."

Sun Likun patted the back of Sun Chenghui's hand affectionately: "Xiaohui, you are a party member. You are a good party member who has made personal sacrifices for the country's adjustment and rectification policies. The party and the country are grateful to you, and Uncle Liu is also grateful to you. But Uncle Liu still asked

You further strictly demand yourself and continue to be a cog and a screw in the party’s machine!”

Sun Chenghui said: "Uncle Six, please rest assured that I, Sun Chenghui, will never estrange from the party and the country. I will be decentralized and leave my post. After I arrived in the sideline production brigade, I thought that I must be with those elder sisters and sisters."

Let's work hard together, no matter how hard, tired or difficult it is, we still have to let Mr. Mao ** eat meat!"

Sun Likun burst into tears: "Okay, Xiaohui, what you said is so good! Uncle Liu was so moved! There are thousands of good party members and good people like you, our party and our country will have a lot of success."

I have hope! Are there any difficulties that cannot be overcome? I believe that it won’t be long before not only Mao Zedong, but all the people in the country will be able to eat meat!”

At this time, Secretary Chen and Panpan came in carrying a pot of green vegetables.

Sun Likun impulsively grabbed Panpan: "Panpan, bow to your mother quickly. Don't forget it wherever you go. You have the best mother in the world, the kindest mother - your mother's name."

My name is Sun Chenghui!"
