Chapter 26 Chapter 26 I will never give up my comrades, change...
Sister Wang reported this to the secretary, who said they would hold a general criticism meeting for Jiang Dayan. The secretary, a man of strong principles, remarked that Jiang Dayan still didn't believe he was wrong and refused to change.
The subsequent general criticism meeting was held on Saturday night. It was not just about criticizing Jiang Dayan for bullying Su Yan. It also said that Jiang Dayan was absent from work, late, left early, and so on. It also said that his daily lifestyle was not disciplined and his behavior was very frivolous. He usually liked to take female comrades to the park and watch movies on weekends.
One of his coworkers said that he had seen Jiang Dayan holding hands with a female comrade while watching a movie, and this had happened several times, all with different female comrades, and it was simply an affair.
Su Yan was sitting downstairs when the host asked her to go up and complain about Jiang Dayan. She waved her hand and pointed at her throat. A worker nearby said, "Yingzi caught a cold a few days ago, and her throat is so sore that she can't speak."
Su Yan nodded. Although she really wanted to teach Jiang Dayan a lesson and make him suffer, such a massive criticism meeting was beyond her expectations and a little frightened her.
After the workers and the masses finished criticizing him, Jiang Dayan sat on the stage and criticized himself until he burst into tears.
After the criticism meeting that day, Jiang Dayan never appeared in front of Su Yan again. It was said that he went home and told his father, who whipped him so hard that he couldn't get out of bed.
After hearing this, Su Yan felt relieved. He was late and left early every day, and just for taking a public salary and taking advantage of the country, he deserved a good beating.
That day, Su Yan was writing a manuscript when Sister Wang handed her a letter. "This is Jiang Dayan's apology letter. Take it. His mother delivered it personally. Jiang Dayan is still in the hospital."
Su Yan took it and thanked Sister Wang sincerely: "Sister Wang, thank you so much this time. If you hadn't been so fair, I, a little girl, really don't know what to do."
Sister Wang chuckled, "If you want to thank someone, thank the organization. It was the organization that brought justice to you. We're not in the old society anymore, we're in the new society. No organization would tolerate something like this, let alone refusing to admit your mistake. That's simply defying the organization."
Su Yan knew, of course, that Jiang Dayan's case wasn't a big deal. Our organization has always upheld the principle of curing illness and saving lives, punishing past mistakes to prevent future ones, and never punishing anyone without giving them the opportunity to correct their mistakes. Jiang Dayan should have been ruthless and humbly admitted his mistakes. Sister Wang was speaking to him on behalf of the organization, not herself. Turning his back on Sister Wang and refusing to accept her position was a clear act of defiance against the organization.
If you personally disobey the organization and defy it, then you will be punished with the organization's iron fist. A general criticism meeting is perfectly justified. No matter who you are, you're the son of a leader. With over a thousand employees at Jiangzhou Machinery Factory, if we don't stamp out this unhealthy practice, how will the factory and committee leaders lead the team in the future? Of course, this was only the case at that time; Su Yan couldn't imagine it in modern times.
Su Yan took the apology letter and nodded. Then Sister Wang asked, "Yingzi, are you really planning on supporting your nephews and nieces? They have a mother, and you, an unmarried girl, are really at a disadvantage. Your sister-in-law might be easy to get along with, but she doesn't look like one. Maybe you'll have to come and ask for money every month?"
Su Yan said, "Don't worry, I won't let her take advantage of me all the time. She's used up all the money I took away before, and there's no way to get it back, so let it go. I met the factory leader at the writer's seminar in the city last time, and I did talk to him about it. Now, she's been a little more honest. After all, she's the mother of two children, and they're my biological children. If I'm too harsh, I'm afraid the children will suffer in the future."
Lu Yingzi's sister-in-law was the type who refused to accept anything and was always unreasonable. Su Yan felt she couldn't reason with her, so she told the leader of their unit. The next day, the secretary called and said, "The factory has criticized Comrade Wang Xiaofeng. She admitted her mistakes and said she'll send you the food and household registration books someday."
In fact, it was accidental that a senior leader would intervene in such matters. Su Yan had arrived at the meeting early that day, and she seized the opportunity to exaggerate and interrupt when the topic of education came up. There were many leaders that day, and the leaders of Lu Yingzi's factory were embarrassed and agreed immediately.
Su Yan was not worried about anything else, but she didn't have much affection for the two children. If she treated her sister-in-law the same way she treated Jiang Dayan, she was afraid that she would definitely be blamed.
Sister Wang nodded and sighed, "Your nephew and niece must still have feelings for their mother. It's difficult for you."
Su Yan returned home in a good mood with the apology letter. As soon as she entered the corridor, she smelled a spicy aroma. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Qin Zhanwu wearing an apron and carrying a large pot of spicy boiled fish on the table.
When he saw Su Yan, he smiled and said, "You're back from get off work. Come and try the freshly cooked fish."
The fish, whose origins lay unknown, was coated in a layer of red chopped peppers, making it look incredibly delicious. Su Yan loved eating fish, but she didn't dare to kill them or cook them. Furthermore, at this time of year, there were practically no fish left in the river; everyone had already caught what they could.
Su Yan put down her bag. She had thought he had figured it out since he hadn't come for a long time, so she was a little surprised: "Why are you here? You are my guest, so I should be the one to entertain you."
Qin Zhanwu handed the chopsticks to Su Yan: "Try it!" Su Yan took a step back and refused: "No, thank you."
The door was open, and I heard my sister-in-law outside calling, "Hey, Dayan, you came to see Yingzi as soon as you got out of the hospital?"
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Dayan limping over with a cane. He glanced at Su Yan, then turned to talk to Qin Zhanwu: "Deputy Captain Qin, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Su Yan didn't wait for Qin Zhanwu to speak. She turned around and blocked Jiang Dayan from coming in. "Jiang Dayan, if you have nothing else to do, go back first. I'm busy. I don't have time to entertain you, and I don't welcome you. What's the matter? Haven't you had enough of the ideological criticism meeting?"
Jiang Dayan smiled awkwardly at Qin Zhanwu, as if he had never been criticized before. "Yingzi, I'm not here to see you today. I'm here to see Deputy Head Qin because we get along well. Let's chat for a while. You can go and do your own thing. We don't need your entertainment, right, Deputy Head Qin?"
Qin Zhanwu smiled, took off his apron, and wiped his hands: "It's okay, I get along well with this brother Dayan, let's go for a walk outside."
After saying that, he took out a household registration book and a food book from his military uniform pocket and handed them to Su Yan: "Here!"
Su Yan took it with suspicion, flipped through it, and then said in surprise: "Isn't our household registration booklet with my sister-in-law? How did you get it back? My sister-in-law said she sent it to me today. Was it her who sent it?"
Su Yan thought about it, how did he know that she didn’t have a household registration book, and when did she get it back?
Qin Zhanwu didn't answer: "Just look and see if it's correct! You can eat first!" He picked up the outside and dusted it off: "Brother Dayan, shall we go for a walk outside?"
Su Yan was a little worried, so she sent them out of the corridor. Seeing that the two of them seemed to be getting along well, she came back to eat.
Yan Zi leaned against the door frame and watched: "Aunt, will Uncle Qin and Uncle Dayan fight?"
Su Yan was amused by her, pinched her cheek, and picked her up: "Why are you fighting?"
Swallow said, "Uncle Qin said he was Wu Song and wanted to kill a tiger today. We don't have any tigers here. Is he going to kill Uncle Dayan?"
Xiao Gang had already taken out the bowl and chopsticks and served the rice. Hearing this, he laughed, "Stupid, that's not a real tiger, it's just a metaphor. Do you understand?"
Yan Zi was irritated by what he said and snorted, "What's so great about that? When I go to elementary school, I will be better than you and know more than you."
Xiao Gang grinned and said, "By the time you're in elementary school, I'll have already graduated and started junior high school. I'm still better than you and know more than you."
Su Yan had no choice but to mediate and told the two little guys to stop bickering: "Next week, when brother starts school, we will send him to school together."
Xiao Gang said, "Aunt, that's not necessary. I went to school to register by myself, taking my household registration booklet and tuition fees with me, and I went with Dabao."
Su Yan picked up a piece of fish for the two little guys, slowly picked out the bones, and then allowed them to eat.
The two little guys were stunned by Su Yan: "Auntie, we two know how to eat fish." Xiao Gang picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth. After a while, he spat out a bunch of fish bones. He smiled and said: "Auntie, this is how you eat fish. You're too slow."
Su Yan was stunned and looked at Yan Zi: "Can you do it too?"
Yan Zi smiled: "Aunt, our whole family knows how to do it. How can you not even eat fish when you go to college?" As she said that, she also imitated Xiao Gang and picked up a piece of fish. After a while, she also took out a mouthful of fish bones.
Su Yan was shocked and a little embarrassed: "It's not that my aunt doesn't know how to do it, but later when I was in college, a fish bone got stuck in my fish and I didn't dare to eat it anymore. It's safer to pick out the fish bone."
Yan Zi was puzzled: "How can a fish bone get stuck? Auntie, do you also get a bone stuck when you eat?"
This family probably used to eat fish often, so two five- or six-year-old children were so proficient in it. Su Yan didn't know how to answer and changed the subject: "Eat, eat, brother will teach sister to read for a while, auntie has to go to rehearsal."
After finishing the meal and packing up, Su Yan was about to go to the auditorium for rehearsal. When she opened the door, she saw Qin Zhanwu standing at the door. "I'm going to the auditorium for rehearsal now."
Qin Zhanwu asked: "Rehearsal?"
Su Yan nodded: "It's a party in the city, and our factory will also have a performance."
Qin Zhanwu said that he also wanted to go back, and the two of them went out together. It was only six o'clock at this time, and there were people coming and going in the courtyard of the family building. They would say hello when they met.
