After Geng Furen, Secretary of the Tianhe County Party Committee, saw Liu Shengli in the county committee courtyard, he saw Liu Shengli’s gloomy face and knew that Liu Shengli had failed the exam again. He complained to Liu Shengli and said: "You are the same kid. You have been recommended to go to college a few years ago. The county

I recommended you twice, but you didn’t go. There will be no role for you now. You have to take the exam every year! Forget it, forget it, let’s talk about this later! Cheer up, I’m looking for something.

Come on, come on, come to my office to talk!"

Liu Shengli didn't know what Geng Furen wanted to do with her, so she followed Geng Furen into the office obediently.

As soon as Secretary Geng sat down in the office, he asked: "Shengli, did you catch the Baishui Gou spot the year before last?"

Liu Shengli nodded: "It's the responsibility of our county Youth League Committee. What's the matter, Secretary Geng?"

Geng Fulen frowned and said displeasedly: "Some people reported that there was a trend of independent work in Baishui Gou and the land was divided. I don't know whether it is true or not? Bring a few people and form a working group to go out for me and do some work.

Is it okay to conduct an investigation?"

Liu Shengli thought for a while and said: "Secretary Geng, I think we should let Chen Tao lead the team. He is the secretary of the County Youth League Committee!"

Geng Furen waved his hand and said: "Chen Tao can't live without us these days. If he wants to help the county committee get important materials, you should lead the team."

Liu Shengli had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I'll go as soon as possible."

Geng Furen said: "Not as soon as possible, but today, let me go down today! Victory, everyone's thinking is a bit messy now. When it comes to emancipating the mind, all kinds of nonsense have emerged, and I don't want to go down the road of socialism.

, How can this happen?! Bring someone to investigate carefully for me. If Baishui Gou really wants to divide the land, the county committee must deal with it seriously! Report the relevant situation directly to me."

The secretary of the county party committee paid so much attention that Liu Shengli did not dare to neglect. As soon as he came out of Geng Furen's office, he briefed Chen Tao, secretary of the county youth league committee, on the situation. He immediately took two officials from the youth league committee to Baishui Gou and asked Wang Huanhuan, the captain of the Baishui Gou production team.

Wang Huanhuan was two years younger than Liu Shengli. He turned out to be the accountant of Baishuigou Production Team and became the production team leader last year. This young farmer refused to admit that the land was divided, saying that what he heard was false and what he saw was true. He dragged Liu Shengli and

The two Youth League Committee officials were looking up and down the slopes in front of and behind the village, muttering: "It's all nonsense. See for yourselves. Who divided the land? These areas are all connected, where are the marks?"

I don’t even think about it. The county has tightened its grip. Who would dare to take the capitalist road? Secretary Liu, if others don’t know, don’t you know? You and Chen Tao have brought working groups here several times and stayed there for several months.

!”

Liu Shengli asked: "Then why did someone file a lawsuit? If we don't file a lawsuit, will Secretary Geng let us investigate?"

Wang Huanhuan said: "What's the point of asking? It must be the class enemy who ruined the good situation!" He smiled bitterly at Liu Shengli and said, "Secretary Liu, my Sister Liu, you are an educated youth who went to the countryside. Sooner or later, you will have to go back.

City, let me tell you, this time you have to go to heaven to say good things and keep the lower world safe!"

Liu Shengli had always had a good impression of Wang Huanhuan and didn't want to go into details, so he said, "Huanhuan, if it really doesn't happen, forget it. We'll leave tomorrow and report back to Secretary Geng."

Wang Huanhuan was happy: "Okay, okay, Secretary Liu, then we will give you a warm farewell tonight!"

Liu Shengli knew that Baishui Gou was a famous poor team in the whole commune, so he said: "Forget it, Huanhuan, don't give me a farewell. You have to go from house to house to collect eggs. Now everyone's life is not easy. I

Know."

Wang Huanhuan grabbed Liu Shengli: "Oh, Secretary Liu, you don't know about the new changes in our Baishui Gou. Because we unswervingly follow the socialist road and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of our comrades in farming, our Baishui Gou

Gou's life is much better today. Look at how well the crops are growing in this field!"

Up and down the slopes, the crops were growing beautifully, which moved Liu Shengli's heart.

The meal in the evening was really good, including chicken, duck, and rice wine. Wang Huanhuan and the new accountant of the production team Wang Xiaoxin enthusiastically persuaded Liu Shengli and the two officers to eat more, saying that the rice wine was brewed by themselves, and the chicken and duck were

Raised by myself.

Looking at the table of dishes, Liu Shengli and the two clerks were in a daze.

Liu Shengli said: "Huanhuan, Xiaoxin, I really didn't expect that your life will be so good this year!"

Wang Xiaoxin said: "Secretary Liu, I have to thank your working group for this! You have given us socialist education and cut off the tail of capitalism time and time again, and everyone's ideological consciousness has been improving rapidly..."

Liu Shengli didn't believe it at all: "Xiao Xin, don't talk nonsense, talk about something practical. What measures have been taken to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm? I want to report it to the county party committee and ask Secretary Geng to organize some comrades to visit."

Wang Huanhuan panicked: "No, no, Secretary Liu, you must not go and report! Once you report, you will trick us! Secretary Liu, Baishui Gou was caught by your Youth League Committee, you don't count.

You are half a Baishuigou person, can you just pretend that you don’t know about our affairs? I’m begging you, brother!”

Liu Shengyi felt something strange. After eating, he asked two officers to go around the village and found out the fact - Wang Huanhuan had really allocated the land in the team. It was not the latest one, but it was him last year.

They were divided as soon as they became captains, so life became easier. The sister of Xiao Wang, the clerk, married in Baishui Gou. According to Xiao Wang's sister, when they secretly divided the fields and guaranteed production, Wang Huanhuan led everyone to drink blood wine and became rich.

He swore that no one could tell anyone about this matter. Only then did Liu Shengli understand that Baishui Gou's life was easy because of the distribution of farmland and production quotas.

So, that night in Baishui Gou, Liu Shengli couldn't sleep, thinking over and over: The newspaper said that "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth." Since the practice in Baishui Gou has proved that sub-field contracting can mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers and improve their productivity.

Living standards, then the county committee should let Baishui Gou give it a try. So, he got up all night and wrote a report. He deliberately did not talk about the inside story of Baishui Gou’s secret land allocation, and only suggested to the county committee a trial of household-based production quotas.

This caused a big mess. County Party Committee Secretary Geng Furen was extremely shocked after reading the report and sternly asked Liu Shengli: "Liu Shengli, do you know what the nature of the issue of land distribution and production contract is? It is a matter of taking the capitalist road! No matter how much we emancipate our minds, it will not work.

We cannot be liberated on the road of capitalism! Where is your party spirit?! I originally asked you to find out what Baishui Gou did alone, but you didn’t expect that you didn’t find out what Baishui Gou did alone. Instead, you came up with a production contract plan yourself!

Let me ask you, Liu Shengli, how did you come up with this plan? Is there any connection with the Baishui Gou solo incident?"

Liu Shengli thought about protecting Wang Huanhuan, so he insisted: "My plan is my plan, and it has nothing to do with Baishui Gou or Wang Huanhuan! I really didn't find the problem of working alone in Baishui Gou. This of mine

The plan is just an idea. It is said that some places in Anhui and Sichuan are also exploring this aspect..."

Geng Furen was furious: "Liu Shengli, let me tell you clearly that unless we receive instructions from the central and provincial committees, we in Tianhe County will not allow this kind of capitalist 'exploration' to occur!"

Liu Shengli insisted: "But facts have proven that entrusting the fields can mobilize the enthusiasm of the farmers to the greatest extent and can fundamentally solve the food problem in rural areas. It is obviously a good thing!"

Geng Furen snorted: "Liu Shengli, did you let it slip now? Just by saying this to you, I know that Wang Huanhuan, a pawn of capitalism, has divided the land! Isn't that right?" Geng Furen stood in front of him.

Liu Shengli picked up the phone in front of his face and asked the switchboard to call Fangshan Commune where Baishui Gou belonged, and asked Lao Qi, the secretary of the commune.

While waiting for the call, Geng Furen said again: "The socialist economic position in the vast rural areas of our province cannot collapse starting from our Tianhe County! The newspaper said that practice is the criterion for testing truth, and it did not say that we do not want a socialist collective economy! Liu Shengli, you

The problem is quite serious!”

Liu Shengli said: "Practice is the standard for testing truth, and it also includes the test of our current rural policies!"

Geng Furen was angry and anxious: "Okay, okay, Liu Shengli, I won't quarrel with you! You are an educated youth who will leave sooner or later! I just hope that before you leave, you won't cause me another big disaster, which will harm yourself and others."

Killed our county committee!"

Liu Shengli choked out and said: "I won't leave yet, I will fight with you to the end!"

Geng Furen slapped the table: "Liu Shengli, I think you are crazy! You will suspend me for inspection from now on!"

At this time, the phone was connected. Geng Furen grabbed the phone and said: "Lao Qi? Listen, lead me to Baishuigou immediately! Check the singles! Move faster! Be more vigorous! Go in person and bring more people with you.

A militia!"

The Baishui Gou production team was in a panic that day. Lao Qi, the party secretary of Fangshan Commune, was a middle-aged cadre promoted by Geng Furen. He carried out Geng Furen's instructions within a few hours. After answering the phone, he led a group of armed militiamen to transport fertilizer.

The truck arrived at Baishui Gou. The truck did not stop until it arrived in front of Wang Huanhuan's house. The militiamen jumped out of the car and without any explanation, arrested Wang Huanhuan first. Then, they posted slogans and played loudspeakers everywhere in the village to create revolutionary public opinion.

The female commune broadcaster's slogans full of revolutionary passion immediately rang out: "Unswervingly follow the road of socialism!" "The wheel of history cannot be turned back!" "If we do not block the road of capitalism, we cannot take the road to socialism.

Step!" "Long live the dictatorship of the proletariat!" and so on.

Wang Huanhuan refused to admit that there was land allocation and production quotas. Lao Qi ordered Wang Huanhuan to be hung up, smashed the table and bench, and said: "Wang Huanhuan, I'm not afraid that you won't say it! It's a damn day for you not to say anything.

, I will hang you for one day, and if you don’t say anything for two days, I will hang you for two days! I still don’t believe you that all the thirty-eight households in Baishui Gou are just like you, and are determined to take the capitalist road! I still don’t believe this Baishui

The world is not owned by the fucking Communist Party!"

Wang Huanhuan struggled to raise his head and said pitifully but stubbornly: "Secretary Qi, you... you have really wronged me and the villagers. How can we dare to divide the fields! Secretary Liu Shengli of the County Youth League Committee just came to us.

I have done some research here. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Liu Shengli..."

Lao Qi said: "You idiot, don't mention Liu Shengli to me. She has been quarantined and examined by the county!"

After hanging for a whole night, Wang Huanhuan still refused to do anything, and just kept wailing loudly, saying that he was going to die.

Lao Qi said: "It's better to die. If you die, you will be buried for capitalism!"

Also on this night, Chen Tao, Secretary of the County Youth League Committee, and Qian Yuan, Secretary of the Youth League Committee of Fangshan Commune, came to do Liu Shengli's work according to Geng Furen's order. Chen Tao faithfully carried out Geng Furen's order and kept asking Liu Shengli to recognize his mistakes and make a thorough inspection. Liu Shengli angrily and Chen Tao

There was a quarrel. Qian Yuan didn't want to come, but he was worried that Liu Shengli would suffer if he insisted on it, so he took the opportunity of "doing work" to look at Liu Shengli, and also tried to persuade Liu Shengli in front of others, saying that it was

The educated youth were going back to the city anyway, so there was no need to talk to Secretary Geng Furen. As soon as the staff left, Qian Yuan immediately asked Liu Shengli what to do next.

Liu Shengli said: "We have to try to save Wang Huanhuan and the others, or someone may die!"

Qian Yuan looked at Liu Shengli and sighed: "Shengli, it's all you who caused this harm to me! What do you think we should do?"

Liu Shengli said: "Now, I only have one way to go, to find my sixth grandfather, Sun Likun, who is the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee! Qian Yuan, please find me quickly! It seems that he is still in our Yangshan City at the moment and is dealing with it.

An unjust case..."

Qian Yuan said hurriedly: "Okay, I will go back to Yangshan first. If Secretary Sun is not in Yangshan, I will go to the provincial capital immediately!"

Before leaving, Liu Shengli confessed again: "My sixth grandpa doesn't know you, so you drag my mother to go with you!"

Qian Yuan responded repeatedly, turned around and left. That night he found a National Taiwan University tractor at the commune and rushed to Yangshan City in a dusty journey. He took Sun Chenghui and found Sun Likun's room in the municipal party committee guest house early in the morning. Unexpectedly, Sun Likun had already arrived in Yangshan City two days ago.

They left Yangshan before. Qian Yuan and Sun Chenghui had to take a long-distance bus to rush to the provincial capital. When they arrived at the provincial capital, they found out that Sun Likun was still in the Yangshan area, saying that he was conducting investigations in Tangquan County, near Tianhe. The two had to turn back and start again.
