Chapter 114
"Who is it?" Yan Lei asked.
Qiao Wei guessed: "It's probably Guan. I didn't follow him to expose the secretary yesterday, which ruined his mood. He must think I'm a thorn in his side."
The new person in power naturally wants to remove the old thorn.
She paused and said, "Zeng Yue stopped."
Yan Lei nodded: "Zeng Yue and you don't need to fall out."
Yes, apart from the origin between Huang Zengyue and Secretary Meng, there is actually no conflict of interest between Huang Zengyue and Qiao Wei.
He added: "Just don't go against them."
Qiao Wei said: "Who dares to go against them now? I don't have that idea. I just can't kick the secretary when he's down. I can't control other people and I don't have the ability to control them."
When she said that, Yan Lei felt a lot more at ease.
Because the situation is stronger than people, in this situation, you can't and can't go against the current.
As for Guan...
Yan Lei said: "Since Zeng Yue has made arrangements, you should rest for a few days and avoid the limelight."
Qiao Wei nodded.
Secretary Meng fell, and the county government will be very chaotic during this period of time. She didn't have the ability to help others, and she was also afraid that Guan would not listen to Huang Zeng Yue and take advantage of the chaos.
It would be safer for her to avoid it for the time being.
Yan Lei said: "Is it okay for you to stay at home alone now? Otherwise, you can stay at Lao Zhao's house?"
Qiao Wei asked: "Are you still going back to the camp?"
Yan Lei said: "I'll talk to Zeng Yue."
Qiao Wei sighed.
Yan Lei gently stroked the back of her head and said softly, "Qiao Wei, the matter between Zeng Yue and Secretary Meng is their matter. Zeng Yue is not our enemy."
"I know. Go ahead." Qiao Wei said, "I told him today that I wanted to go back to the district, but he never agreed. Go and talk to him for me."
"Then you alone..."
"I'm fine. Too many things happened in the past two days... I'm fine. Sister Zhao doesn't need to accompany me."
Yan Lei kissed the top of her head, put on his hat and went out.
Qiao Wei closed the courtyard door again and inserted the bolt tightly.
Yan Lei came back after dark.
"He still won't give in," Yan Lei said, "He wants you to stay."
Qiao Wei's attitude was very firm: "
Even if I stay, I won't write anything anymore." It's very dangerous to be a writer at this time. If you don't write according to what they want, you become an enemy. If you write according to what they want, after the ten years are over, you will be liquidated along with them.
"Yan Lei. We must understand one thing - no matter how big the current situation is, even if it has swept the whole country, it is not normal. Even if this abnormal situation lasts for many years, it will definitely, definitely end! When the day comes that it ends, those who are in power now and have risen to power overnight will be liquidated at that time."
"Yan Lei, no matter what you do in the future, you must be aware of this point and make choices based on this understanding!"
Yan Lei did not speak. Under the light, he stared at her.
Qiao Wei was worried: "Yan Lei?"
Yan Lei suddenly smiled, leaned over and kissed her eyes: "Qiao Wei! Qiao Wei!"
She actually thought the same as he did. She was in the vortex, but she could see it so clearly.
Yan Lei hugged Qiao Wei tightly: "Don't worry about me, I'm very clear-headed."
Yan Lei is not as cultured, knowledgeable, and broad-minded as Qiao Wei, but he is a diligent and good student, and he is familiar with the party history.
With history as a mirror, his mind is very clear.
His understanding of this movement that has swept the country is exactly the same as Qiao Wei's. But this understanding has always been buried in his heart and cannot be easily told to others.
Today, he actually heard Qiao Wei express the same idea as him.
Yan Lei was surprised and relieved.
His wife is someone who can make him completely relieved.
She is a revolutionary partner, a fighting partner, and someone who can resonate and completely integrate with him spiritually.
Yan Lei's sense of satisfaction at this moment is indescribable.
"Don't worry, Guan. Zeng Yue and I have discussed it." He promised her.
Qiao Wei buried her face in Yan Lei's chest.
In fact, she has never sympathized with the sense of security gained from others. Because she died in her last few years in loneliness.
Blood relationship and love did not give her any sense of security.
But now, she felt safe in Yan Lei's arms, hugged tightly by him.
After the establishment of the joint security team of the military area and Xiahekou District, a group of people were swept from the streets at lightning speed.
Most of them were young, did not go to school, had no jobs, and were men.
And during the interrogation, it was found that some of them were also planning to follow the example of the county and the city to stir up revolution.
What kind of security team is it? It's all a cover. However, under the joint will of the military district and the district government leaders, Xiahekou was put under military control.
All those arrested were sent to labor camps.
Yan Lei told Qiao Wei: "First, dig sand for three months, and then let them go after seeing how they perform."
"I've made it clear to them. Next time they are caught, they will dig sand for six months, and the next time, it will be one year."
"Those who don't want to dig sand should go to school and learn about industry and agriculture honestly. Don't run around everywhere."
In less than a week, the public security situation in Xiahekou was completely changed, and there were fewer people wandering around on the streets.
The adults at home also dragged their children home: "You want to learn the revolution in the county, but can you learn it? We have a military district here, and the military district is watching us! Don't do anything stupid!"
Qiao Wei rested at home for a week, studying food at home.
It was really difficult to talk about food with the supplies of that era.
She made a double-skin milk, and then she went to learn how to stir-fry melon seeds from Hu Sui.
Hu Sui also asked her about the county: "Then you won't go to work?"
Qiao Wei said, "I just want to eat melon seeds and knit with you at the radio station."
Hu Sui said, "If you had known, you wouldn't have written so many good articles to get the boss's attention and transferred you. We had such a good life at the radio station. Tianming took good care of your flower pot, and it has three flowers in bloom."
Hu Sui's words made Qiao Wei dazed, and she actually felt that time had passed peacefully.
She was really regretful.
However, the instinct of office workers is to automatically operate at full efficiency when they get a job. At that time, she was already restrained and not curled.
Hu Sui asked again what □□ would be like.
Qiao Wei squatted beside the stove, burying her chin in her arms: "Scary."
At first, when it was someone else she didn't know, it wasn't that scary. It felt like watching a TV series.
Until the one who was fighting was replaced by the leader whom I knew very well.
The wooden sign was soaked in water overnight.
The wire was thin.
The skin on the back of my neck was cut. I bent my waist and blood dripped onto the ground.
It was too painful.
I couldn't treat it as a TV series anymore.
"I also heard that it was scary, but fortunately there is no such thing in our district. But now Secretary Gao and his men are very kind to people." Hu Sui flipped through the melon seeds, "It's much better since the establishment of the public security brigade. Next week it will be the turn of our Lao Fang's people to come on duty. It's reassuring to see them on the street. I talk to the people in the town, and they are happy to do so."
"Sister Sui, anyone who is good to us," Qiao Wei said, "can persuade them not to get involved, try not to get involved."
Qiao Wei is a capable person who can work in the county, Hu Sui nodded: "Okay."
Qiao Wei took the melon seeds home and gave half to Sister Yang.
Yan Xiang also likes to eat them, but Qiao Wei is always afraid that he will break his teeth, so she always cracks them for him and puts them on the plate. Yan Xiang always took a big bite when eating, and it was delicious.
Qiao Wei had rested for a week, and wondered if it was time to go back to work.
After all, she couldn't stay in this small yard for the rest of her life.
But Yan Lei came back that day with a frown on his face.
Qiao Wei's heart skipped a beat, and her voice became low: "What happened?"
Yan Lei came back to his senses: "Oh, oh... nothing."
He wanted to go back to the house. Qiao Wei grabbed his clothes and stared at him.
Yan Lei said: "There was a letter from home."
Qiao Wei had been traveling here for two years, and it took her several seconds to realize that this "home" referred to Yan Lei's hometown, her husband's family.
The only connection between Qiao Wei and this "home" is that Yan Lei sends 25 yuan to the family every month.
She hurriedly asked: "Is there anything wrong at home?"
Yan Lei sighed softly: "My father's back pain is serious now. He can't go out this year."
Yan Lei left home at the age of 14 and followed the army.
Up to now, he has only been back four or five times in more than ten years. The last time he went back to marry a new wife, he brought Qiao Wei with him, no, he brought Qiao Weiwei back with him.
It was very unpleasant.
Perhaps it was because of those unpleasant things that after Qiao Wei came back, except for the time when he mentioned home when counting the family's savings, Yan Lei never mentioned "home" in front of Qiao Wei.
As a result, Qiao Wei almost forgot that Yan Lei had a hometown, and he had a family in his hometown, including brothers and sisters, parents.
Moreover, Qiao Wei had read the original text and knew that there were some weirdos and extremes in it.
She had a God's perspective on the situation of Yan Lei's family.
Who called them the male protagonist's family?
Qiao Wei looked at Yan Lei's frown and asked softly, "Then do you want to take a leave to go back and have a look?" Those who are
cadres actually have family leave. But most of them don't have important things to do, and they rarely go back to their hometowns. They
have to stick to their posts.
This is how it is in this era. The more cadres they are, the more they have to stick to their posts, and the more years they don't go home. People
with high consciousness, like Yan Lei, even have to give up their new dormitory rooms with red bricks and black tiles to others.
Yan Lei frowned: "I can't leave."
He explained: "Each county is setting up a new revolutionary committee. According to the rules set by Shanghai, there must be a military representative. I applied for the one in Bocheng and just arranged it."
Moreover, he really had things to do, and he had arranged them.
He and Huang Zengyue had already arranged them.
But his brows were frowned.
So this "home" that had almost no sense of existence to Qiao Wei still made him concerned.
After all, they were blood parents.
Qiao Wei saw his embarrassment, thought for a moment, and said: "How about I go back for you?"
Yan Lei looked at him in surprise.
This was an option he had never considered.
He never thought that she would bring it up herself.
Qiao Wei only looked at him with a smile.
Since I traveled through time, I am grateful for your care.
I also want to do something for you.
