These are the closing words of Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind".
Indeed, as the poem says, the torturous times will eventually pass.
The year 1979 was a year when the entire Republic survived the harsh winter and was completely rejuvenated with the warmth of spring.
For a whole year from the end of 1978 to 1979, the Republic had only one main theme, which was the intertwining of laughter for liberation and tears of excitement.
A series of actions to bring order out of chaos brought great joy to the Chinese people.
Even this is the same for the Hong family, they are also included.
Because no one expected that the prophecy that President Hong Yanwu talked about would actually come true.
After the issues of "veteran cadres" and "intellectuals" were taken advantage of one after another, people like them, who had suffered the most and longest, had waited for two and a half years since the end of the "movement" and finally ushered in complete liberation.
day.
On January 11, 1979, the central government made a decision to completely deprive “special groups” like them.
It is completely conceivable that after this, the lives of the Hong family, Shou family and Wanyan family will definitely undergo many positive changes.
Not only in terms of spiritual level and political treatment, but also with the implementation of each policy, there are real benefits.
For example, first of all, both Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin, who had long passed their retirement age, received the coveted official employee retirement benefits.
Although both of them can only receive retirement benefits according to the minimum standard in the newly implemented "Interim Measures for Workers' Retirement and Resignation".
But Hong Lucheng's originally approved salary base was high, and the 60% standard was more than 70 yuan. In addition, Wang Yunlin could also get at least a guaranteed standard of 25 yuan. Together, the old couple would retire every month.
The fee can reach one hundred yuan.
Compared with the past, when Hong Lucheng had no points for "re-education through labor" and Wang Yunlin only received a salary of thirty-eight yuan, it was certainly much better.
But despite this, at the beginning, Wang Yunlin was really reluctant to quit her job in the shoe factory.
It wasn't for anything else. She just felt that it was not easy to find a formal job right now, and she was thinking about being like other families, where they wanted one of their children to take over her job and then quit.
But Hong Yanwu said, "Mom, you really think too much. Boss, you don't have to worry about the second brother. Xiaoru is younger than my second brother, but she studies better than my second brother, and will definitely be good enough to go to college in the future. I'm afraid it's just me and Quanzi
These two talents really make you worry. But once we come here, your shoe factory will look down on us and is not willing to accept "two workers" like us. Even if you beg grandpa and grandma, you may not be able to make sense. The second is
If we really have this opportunity, who will go between me and Quanzi? Besides, we don’t want to be separated. Also, your factory is also a large collective enterprise at the district level. Young guys like us deal with a group of old ladies all day long, which is another thing.
What a painful thing. So, my dear mother, I beg you, please stop thinking blindly, quit your job quickly, go home and enjoy your happiness..."
Wang Yunlin thought so, but she couldn't stand Hong Yanwu's tone. She still scolded him.
"What happened to the district-level collective? We didn't rely on the wages of this large collective to support you. Well, your mother has retired. From now on, she can only be a mother at home. Taking care of you is more tiring than going to work."
When Hong Yanwu heard this, he quickly apologized and laughed.
"Yes, I don't mean anything else. How about saying that the greatest is mother? You are wronged. We can have food and clothing because of your hard work, old lady. Mom, don't worry, if anything happens to my dad in the future
If it were gone, our family would definitely not be able to perform "The Wax Drill". No matter who cares about you, I will care about you..."
"Say that!" Wang Yunlin spat on the spot after hearing this. She also had nothing to do with this precious son.
(Note: "The Wax Solder" is a stand-up comedy written and performed by Yan Deshan in the late Qing Dynasty. The story tells the story of a widowed old lady and her three unfilial sons, who forced their widowed mother to melt tin wax sticks and wear them around her waist to pass them off as house money.
After the three sons and their daughter-in-law, who were greedy for profit, found out, they rushed to support their mother. But after her death, they found that their dream of getting rich was in vain, and she was ridiculed by the world.)
Afterwards, various parts of the capital, with street offices as the specific execution departments, began to return the materials confiscated during the "campaign" one after another.
Needless to say, this return process is bound to be confusing and complicated. It will also be a protracted task.
Because when you think about it, you will know that it has been too long since the inspection, and the materials are piled up like a mountain, which is difficult to sort out. Many materials are still damaged or missing. Some of the existing items lack effective proof of ownership.
These are all very real difficulties. We can only sort out part of them and then refund part of them.
But even so, being able to get back something that belongs to oneself is already a good thing that many people dare not even think about. For example, the Shou Jingfang family had to get back a lot of artifacts.
Hardwood furniture, tea bowls and bottles, camphor wood boxes and leather cloaks, agate beads and Xuande furnaces, enamel Western clocks... dozens of large and small pieces, there are really a lot of good things.
But what makes Shou Jingfang most gratified is that he found thousands of ancient medical books at home in the material warehouse of the subdistrict office, the medical records of the imperial doctors and half of the medical books written by himself. This is the real secret of their Shou family.
A family heirloom.
Although the people from the subdistrict office were hesitant to let him take away the things because he had no concrete evidence to prove it.
But the street director was also a patient of Shou Jingfang. He said, "In our street, besides the Shou family, who else can have these things? Give them to him, and I will bear this responsibility." No one was in trouble anymore.
Shou Jingfang and Shou Zheng were both overjoyed to get back these ancient books. They didn't sleep all night when they went back that day, so they sorted through all the books together.
The next day, they asked Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to help them get a tricycle, and went to a furniture store to buy two large bookcases for the La family. After the books were properly and completely arranged, the father and son felt at ease.
.
As for other valuable things, they were piled up in the main room like piles of rags, and they didn't bother to take care of them for a while. This not only made Hong Yanwu burst into laughter, but also made him admire him greatly.
However, the Hong family doesn't have as big a movement as the Shou family.
This is because most of their family's property was originally transferred to Hong Kong through Hong Lucheng. The remaining property was compensated for "Three Antis and Five Antis" and had to be sold out after moving out of the old house. It was a result of "natural disasters"
After three years of filling my stomach and treating Wang Yunlin, it was all spent.
During the "movement" period, there were no real things in the house. Because the neighbors protected us, we didn't suffer much. So this matter didn't have much to do with them.
But unexpectedly, another good thing fell from the sky.
