To say that Hong Lucheng's beating was not in vain, this examination actually cured Hong Yanwu's problem of jumping up and down.
After Hong Yanwu recovered, he became completely different from before. He became a completely honest child, and from then on he became extremely filial to his "snake god" father.
He no longer talks back or runs out, and just stays quietly at home. He is like a little squirrel on the move, looking left and right, always on guard and vigilant, and has even learned to watch his words and swallow his anger.
However, things in life often go against people's original intentions.
Hong Lucheng did not feel at all reassured by this, but instead felt a little bit distressed. Because he knew that Hong Yanwu's drastic change in temperament was actually a sequelae of the house raid. His son had completely lost his sense of security and had gone to another extreme.
In this regard, although he had been trying to find a way to solve his son's problem, the actual situation left him with no energy to take care of it. The reason was naturally because of the valuable jade flat square.
Director Mao from the Ethnic Affairs Committee has been eyeing the Hong family since they ransacked the house. Not only did he frequently come to inspect and lecture, he also insisted on the title of "Eight Great Houses", saying that he would get to the bottom of it and find out everything.
In fact, to put it bluntly, everything is false. This "stinky hut" is just the first thing the new official wants to do when he takes office. He not only wants to get rid of all the valuables of the Hong family, but also wants to show off.
But the fact was that Director Mao was extremely disappointed, because the Hong family was indeed so "innocent" that even mice didn't like to visit. Even in the end, in order to find a place to go down, Mao Yuanfang had to take a piece of paper he found in the Hong family.
Bundling workers make a fuss about white-line gloves for labor protection.
Wang Yunlin was reluctant to use it when she was at work, so she saved two pairs per month for a year. She originally planned to knit a sweater for her children after saving enough, but unexpectedly, in Mao Yuanfang's words, it turned into
Evidence of a "rotten" lifestyle.
Of course, these evil things that could corrode people's will to work hard and be simple were not cut off or burned in the end. Instead, they were confiscated after being criticized by Director Mao.
The matter was not over yet. Because he had lost face and failed to achieve his goal, Mao Yuanfang wanted to torment the Hong family even more. As a result, the big-character poster outside the window of the Hong family was quickly blurred with words: "If you confess, you will be lenient, if you resist, you will be strict."
The huge black characters on "" were painted in dazzling colors, and Hong Lucheng and his wife were forcibly dragged out for a parade.
During the parade, there were an unusually large number of onlookers. Among these people, it was not just the residents of Furuli. In fact, a large part of them were people from nearby alleys. This was undoubtedly the effect of the title of "Eight Great House Gates".
Because out of curiosity, everyone wants to see what the top rich people looked like in the past.
Unlike the old neighbors, the many strange looks seemed both unscrupulous and a little disappointed. They had no scruples and talked around Hong Lucheng and his wife, who had their heads lowered and hanging signs.
"I bet this is a member of the Hong family, tsk tsk, why are you wearing patchwork clothes? They are not rich, and their faces are...yellow, don't they look like rich people?"
"You don't know how to look. Look, your fingers are as thin as onions, and your arms and legs are like sticks. You can't do any work at first glance."
"As you said, I have servants and girls taking care of me, so I don't have to do anything."
"Didn't you say that capitalists drink human milk? Do you think this beautiful wife is being taken over? Old thing, she must not be a good thing!"
"Hey, don't look like a bad guy, maybe they will also have a 'white-haired girl', that's right!"
For some unknown reason, a strange old lady suddenly pinched Wang Yunlin's buttocks.
Then, an unknown man slapped Hong Lucheng across the mouth again, causing stars to pop out of his eyes.
Fortunately, at this time, some old neighbors noticed the situation and came over to stop it, thus stopping the other outsiders who were about to make a move.
The most outrageous thing is Mao Yuanfang's critical speech. She actually programmed a jingle about the sins of the Hong family throughout the ages and read it out loud in public, plausibly.
"His ancestors met the emperor, and his father invited the warlord to dinner. His grandfather wore a pearl shirt, and her grandmother wore silk and grosgrain. When he went out, he took a car, and when he was tired, he beat his back and summoned the maids. He served the food
It is a golden rice bowl, and the urinal is also inlaid with colorful blue. Getting something for nothing brings a black heart, and exploiting thoughts is the real soul..."
Needless to say, the response from the crowd was very enthusiastic. There were bursts of cheers, and the onlookers burst into laughter. It was a huge chaos.
Then, amidst the roar of laughter, someone brought a pointed paper hat made of toilet paper from the latrine and put it on Wang Yunlin's head. Someone else brought a bowl of ink from somewhere and used a brush to smear it on Hong Lucheng's head.
His face was instantly unrecognizable...
In this way, Hong Lucheng and his wife entertained the public almost every day for a long period of time, suffering in every possible way and having no time to care about anything else. As the "movement" situation became more and more "movement"
"Go deeper", even the two people's workplaces have begun to hold similar activities.
Under this situation, the increasingly exhausted couple had no hope of changing their situation, and they just wanted to return home safely every day.
However, things are unpredictable. Just when Hong Lucheng and his wife had no idea about the future, God suddenly showed mercy and sent them a savior.
What's going on?
It turns out that there used to be an old man Liu living in the west courtyard of Guanyin Yuan. Later, because it was found out that his son-in-law was a senior official of the Kuomintang who defected to Taiwan, he was deported back to his place of origin in 1966, and the three houses where he lived became vacant.
.
On the eve of the National Day in 1967, under the joint arrangement of the street and the housing management department, these three rooms were allocated to Chen Deyuan, the newly appointed production director of the Nanheng Street Coal Plant. Therefore, soon after, he brought
The wife and son who were brought from their hometown in Dingxing settled their families here and became new residents here.
And it was Director Chen, who had a somewhat ferocious face and was nicknamed "Chen Big Beard" in the coal factory, who quickly rescued the Hong Lucheng family from the endless sea of misery and became the key to saving the Hong family.
A noble man among fire and water.
This is not an exaggeration at all. If nothing else, Chen Deyuan had just moved to Furuli, and he persuaded the "stinky latrine" to change other targets for the street struggle. Later, he asked Director Mao to show mercy and allow Hong Lucheng's children
, to sweep the streets in place of the couple who had been tortured to the point of weakness.
In addition, what is even more unexpected is that he actually went to the Sugar Cake Company and personally guaranteed that the company's Zhizuojun representative spared Hong Lucheng the hard work of cleaning the toilets in the unit and allowed him to work
The content of the renovation was also changed to warehouse storage.
Some people may be curious, who is this Chen Deyuan and why does he have such great energy?
First of all, I have to say that the coal plant was a very important unit back then.
In that era, coal was even more important than food in the lives of people in the capital, ranking first among the means of living. The main reason was that there was no natural gas at that time.
People in the capital not only relied on burning coal to stay warm in winter, but also relied on coal stoves to boil water for cooking every day. At that time, the coal needed by the residents in the capital was divided into coal zones, and was rationed by the coal factory based on the number of people in the household.
, which also reveals that coal is an extremely scarce energy source.
In addition, in special times, thinking is emphasized over production. The most common thing for all enterprises is to stop work and study together. Therefore, there are often times when people's homes do not have enough coal to burn.
You might as well imagine how miserable it would be for someone who was short of coal and couldn't even drink hot water!
In addition to private households inseparable from coal, every unit also relies on boilers for heating, bathing, and drinking hot water. Even some industries, such as sugar and pastry companies, even production and canteens are all relying on coal.
Coal supply.
If you don't have a good relationship with the coal factory, not to mention not giving you an increase once the coal is burned, even if the quality of the rationed coal issued to you is poor, you can still be treated. Therefore, the coal factory treats all public units in the mainland of its segment.
To put it bluntly, it is easy and unwilling to offend.
In addition to the above reasons, the second point to mention is the particularity of corporate positions in special times.
On the surface, Chen Deyuan's position as production director is only equivalent to that of a full-time department director. According to the company's administrative structure, there are several chief and deputy factory directors, chief and deputy secretaries and the chairman of the labor union, so he is not a remarkable figure.
But don’t forget that due to special historical reasons at that time, the party, government, labor, league organizations and administrative agencies of various enterprises were paralyzed. Most of the original leading cadres were under review and were even required to work in production positions.
, accept transformation.
On the contrary, the original working class began to participate in the management of enterprises with the help of representatives of the Zhizuo Army.
Take the coal factory as an example. The military representative has no problem grasping ideas, but he is an outsider in production. So in fact, the power given to Chen Deyuan by the military representative is quite large, and he almost takes over all the functions of the original director and deputy director.
Responsible for the production, transportation and storage of the entire coal plant.
At the same time, in order to make him manage his work with peace of mind, military representatives even recommended Chen Deyuan to join the party, making him the most popular person in power in the coal plant.
Finally, I would like to add one more point from a personal perspective, that is, Chen Deyuan’s place of origin is also very important.
In the capital city in the early years, any industry involved was regional. For example, cloth shops were from Gaoyang, Hebei, tea shops were from Anhui, banks were from Shanxi, restaurants and restaurants were from Shandong, and coal shops and bathhouses were mostly controlled by
In the hands of people from Dingxing, Hebei.
The specific division is based on the Beijing-Hankow Railway. Those who open coal shops call themselves "those from the west of the railway", and the old Beijing people call them "those who shake briquettes", while the "those from the east of the railway" are mostly engaged in the bathhouse industry.
Having said this, we also know that most people from all over the country who come to Beijing to establish themselves have to work in industries run by local people. If you want to work across industries, it is very difficult. Because even if you come, you will not be able to stay, because others will run against you.
The impact of situations like this lasted until after liberation, even when the state assigned jobs. Because although the new employees were exempted from geographical restrictions, almost all the elderly and even leaders in bathhouses and coal plants were
Dingxing people.
Chen Deyuan is a real "railroad west". Not only did three generations of his ancestors work in the coal shops in the capital, but his grandfather also worked as a casual laborer who walked around the streets and did odd jobs for those families who had accumulated coal scraps.
.
It is precisely because the Chen family came to the capital relatively early to make a living, so these Dingxing people in Nancheng have some friendship with the Chen family. There are even quite a few people who were brought to the capital by the Chen family, or who received a lot of care from the Chen family.
, so Chen Deyuan's prestige among these people is extraordinary. In other words today, it is "a wide network of contacts in the industry."
Everyone knows that regionality makes it easy for people to stick together, and it is difficult to manage outsiders. For example, in a coal factory, sometimes even the factory director’s words are ignored by the workers, but in the workshop, he doesn’t care about big or small things, just relying on his "Big Bearded Chen"
"As soon as I said hello, someone followed and responded.
In fact, the military representatives took a fancy to this and promoted Chen Deyuan as his right-hand man.
