Chapter 114 Return to the City
Du Shaojie came out of the kitchen and saw that the leaders were all the current leaders of the bureau, including Chen Jizhou, Huang Yicheng, Zhai Yucheng and others.
"Old Director, Director Huang, Chief Engineer Zhai, why are you all here?"
"What's the matter? We are all here, and you don't welcome us? I might as well tell you that we will have lunch in the cafeteria at noon. If you don't eat well, I will deal with you."
Zhai Yucheng is still the same as before, joking and chattering.
Du Shaojie didn't care and waited for Chen Jizhou and Huang Yicheng to speak.
"Old Zhai and I came to see you, and then we will hold a general meeting of all employees. Xiao Du, are you okay?"
Chen Jizhou and Zhai Yucheng both missed the old times. The first thing they did after getting off the car was to visit Du Shaojie.
Thinking back to the time when they were in the labor study group, they were all taken care of by Du Shaojie. Otherwise, like the time when Chen Jizhou was sick, he didn't send him back to the city for treatment, and he might have died.
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
Du Shaojie laughed, still very happy in his heart.
You reap what you sow. In that environment at that time, he took great risks to take care of some people.
Everyone stood and chatted for a few words, and Chen Jizhou asked Chu Xiaowei to notify everyone to come to the cafeteria for a meeting. The meeting room of the farm office could not accommodate so many people, and only the cafeteria was relatively spacious and barely enough.
Twenty minutes later, the meeting was officially held.
Chen Jizhou first asked Huang Yicheng to convey the documents from the superiors, asking everyone to work with peace of mind and maintain the order of production and life.
Then, he continued to say a few words, and turned the subject to Lin Zuo.
"During this period, we have received a large number of mass reports, from various units and farms, and the target of the reports is Lin Zuo.
After research by the team, it was decided to remove Lin Zuo from the position of "Director of Laolonghe Farm" and return to the bureau to accept a comprehensive review! The farm set up a temporary working group, with Comrade Chu Xiaowei, Comrade Du Shaojie, and Comrade Wang Liwen as members of the working group, among which Comrade Chu Xiaowei served as the leader. "
Chen Jizhou had endured humiliation for many years. The first thing he did when he got back to his position was to cooperate with his superiors to remove the once popular Wu Mingde.
The second thing was today's incident, which exposed Lin Zuo, who had done so many bad things, and what awaited him was probably not just dismissal, but more severe punishment.
There was thunderous applause at the scene, but Lin Zuo looked ashen.
He went from being a boiler worker to the bureau, then the leader of the labor study group, and the director of the Laolonghe Farm. Wasn't it the trick he used to bully people? He knew very well that he had offended so many people, and now that he was being liquidated, his life would probably be over.
The applause at the scene represented the mood of the vast majority of people.
Du Shaojie was feeling quite happy at first, but when he heard that he had become a member of the three-person team, he couldn't help but curl his lips. He
had been staying on the farm for the past few years, sleeping on straw and tasting gall, what for? Wasn't it just to stay away from Wu Mingde's retaliation, so that when Chen Jizhou and others come back one day, he could return to the city to enjoy a peaceful life.
He had no interest in power at all. What's the point of looking at the fate of Wu Mingde and then Lin Zuo?
But after all, he has lived two lives, and he will not tear down the leaders in public. He plans to talk to the leaders in private.
"The task of the temporary working group is to set things right and actively organize production. After the new appointment from the bureau comes down, the working group will be disbanded on the spot, and the personnel will return to their original posts to continue working. "
Du Shaojie was thinking about this and that, when he heard Chen Jizhou add another sentence.
He suddenly realized that there was no treatment at all, it was just a temporary transition. It doesn't matter, it's just an empty title, not worth mentioning.
After the meeting, he returned to the cafeteria.
The leaders have to eat in the cafeteria at noon, and Chen Jizhou is rather rigid, and he probably won't let them cook for themselves. After thinking about it, he decided to make mixed noodles. At most, he would put more meat and oil. Would he be criticized?
"Li Guixiang, go call Aunt Qin over and tell her that I asked her for help."
The situation in the field was settled, and the first thing Du Shaojie had to do was to call back Qin Xiaomei.
As for Li Guixiang and another confidant of Lin Zuo, it would be better to wait until the new appointment is made. By then, there will naturally be a new director to deal with the matter, and the three-person team will not have personnel power.
"Okay, Master Du. "
Li Guixiang lowered her head and ran out, running faster than a rabbit.
It was her fault for not recognizing the situation at the beginning and clinging to the wrong person. Her work target has not been solved until now, and she is implicated by Lin Zuo.
Du Shaojie did not sympathize with her at all.
Later, Li Guixiang came back with Qin Xiaomei, and the four of them began to prepare lunch.
After the meal, Chen Jizhou and Zhai Yucheng praised the meal, which was the taste in their memories. At that time, several people hid under the hill behind the cowshed, and they would eat very sweetly if they had something to eat.
After lunch, Chen Jizhou talked to Du Shaojie alone.
"Xiao Du, do you have any request? Before, you were retaliated by Wu Mingde and others. You have been on the farm for so long, and the policy should be implemented for you."
"I have no other request, I just want to go back to the city. "
Du Shaojie couldn't help but laugh. The job transfer had been full of twists and turns, but now it was good. He could go back without changing units.
Wasn't this the result he had been waiting for? What else could he say? He had to go back to the city.
"It's that simple? Haha, I thought you were asking for a raise. Okay, come to my house for a drink when you have a chance. Now go call Wang Liwen over."
Chen Jizhou couldn't help laughing. Although there was no financial compensation now, he would consider raising the other party's classification at an appropriate time.
Later, Du Shaojie called Wang Liwen, and he returned home happily.
After a while, Wang Liwen came in from outside and told him that she should be able to be transferred back to the bureau soon.
Du Shaojie was not surprised at all. At that time, the matter involving Yu Mo and Wang Liwen was a shocking case. But now the situation has changed drastically. In a blink of an eye, both of them have become "heroes" fighting against bad people and bad things.
Therefore, this result is expected.
"It's good to go back! You and I can finally get out of the sea of suffering."
Du Shaojie smiled, and so did Wang Liwen. When the four looked at each other, they saw the sincere joy in each other's eyes, and they hugged each other again unconsciously.
After a long time, Wang Liwen gently broke free and turned to boil water for tea.
"Shaojie, life on the farm is about to come to an end. Let's leave some things in our memory. You should develop well after you go back. I can see that your life is destined to be extraordinary."
Wang Liwen has an emotional side and a rational side.
She knows very well that she and Du Shaojie are destined not to be together. After all, the age difference between the two is too big. Not to mention that the other party's family will not agree, her own family will not agree either.
On the farm, the two can keep each other warm, but they have to pay attention to these details after they go back. People's words are scary, and she doesn't want to ruin Du Shaojie's future.
Du Shaojie knows it well, but he doesn't put any pressure on Wang Liwen.
The two just quietly enjoy the last pleasant time, and their contact is closer than before.
Basically, every night, Du Shaojie will not eat in the cafeteria, but go home to cook and eat. Wang Liwen must come every day. It doesn't matter what they eat together, what matters is this mood.
The main work of the three-person team is to convey the spirit of the superior's documents and organize everyone to study and discuss.
Time flies, and the new year is here as promised.
On January 6, 1977, Zhao Dajun was reappointed as the director of Laolonghe Farm and returned to this familiar land.
The staff of the canteen also changed a lot afterwards. Except for Qin Xiaomei, Li Guixiang and another person all left. The bureau transferred a young chef over, and Du Shaojie retired.
"Master Du, Doctor Wang, I knew that our temple is small and can't keep two great gods. Come on, come on, I won't say anything. I'll toast you two and wish you a bright future and all the best."
Before leaving, Zhao Dajun saw off Du Shaojie and Wang Liwen in the private room of the canteen.
The three-person team completed its mission and disbanded on the spot. Zhao Dajun took on the heavy responsibility as the director.
Du Shaojie was transferred back to the canteen of the bureau, and Wang Liwen was transferred back to the medical room of the bureau. Everything seemed to have returned to the starting point.
Chu Xiaowei and Qin Xiaomei were a little sad, but they were also happy for them. That night, everyone drank too much. In the end, Du Shaojie and Wang Liwen supported each other and staggered back home.
Before dawn,
Wang Liwen got up, boiled water, cooked breakfast, and then called Du Shaojie to get up.
The two of them had quite a lot of stuff together. They gave away some miscellaneous items to the neighbors around them, and picked and chose several large bags.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the bus sent by the bureau arrived at the farm, just to pick up the two of them.
Many employees in the farm came to help. Chu Xiaowei climbed onto the luggage rack on the roof and tied up the luggage of the two one by one.
Waving goodbye to everyone, Du Shaojie and Wang Liwen got on the bus.
The bus started and gradually moved away.
When Du Shaojie looked back, the huge crowd was still standing there. Everyone knew that Master Du and Doctor Wang would never come back after this, and all the reluctance could only turn into a blessing.
"The thunder of China, we are shattered."
"A large number of advanced people have emerged in all walks of life. They are conscientious in their jobs and work hard to realize the "four modernizations" as soon as possible."
On New Year's Eve, the radio at home was playing various news.
After Du Shaojie finished his work in the office cafeteria at noon, he hurried home to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
Outside the yard, there were sporadic sounds of firecrackers, and the New Year atmosphere was already wafting through every corner of Chunfeng Lane.
He cooked a large table of dishes. This year's Spring Festival was different. People's fire of hope was completely ignited, as if it would not be long before they could say goodbye to poverty and backwardness and enter a new era.
"Brother, what exactly are you talking about, the Four Modernizations?"
Xiaomei and Xiaoya knew almost nothing about the outside world, and the proposal of the "Four Modernizations" undoubtedly brought them infinite longing.
Xiaoya ate with oil dripping from her mouth, and then asked her brother a very naive question.
