A 10,000-word self-criticism is really a long article. Deng Hao racked his brains for a whole day to write only 3,000 words, and he almost got internal injuries from writing so much.
However, he understood the captain's painstaking efforts. Only ten thousand words could show his sincere repentance and make the captain of the First Production Brigade and the villagers forgive him and stop pursuing him, thus saving him from physical pain.
But this 10,000-word self-criticism is not so easy to write. After some thought, Deng Hao came up with a good plan, which is to start reflecting since he was seven years old. Now they are all in their thirties, and there are many things to reflect on every year. In this way, there are a lot of things to write, which is equivalent to an autobiography, and 10,000 words is no problem.
For example, when he was seven years old, he was very hungry one day, so he couldn't help but steal the melon from Aunt Wang's house, but he only ate one.
When he was eleven years old, he was herding sheep on the hill behind the mountain. He saw Sun Daming and Liu Chunling having an affair. He was so angry that he secretly threw a stone at them. It hit Sun Daming on the forehead. Suddenly, a big egg-like bump appeared on Sun Daming's head, which took a week to disappear...
All these things were described in detail, and reflected upon seriously. At the same time, a summary and a promise were made that he would never do such things again, turn over a new leaf and become a new person. Deng Hao breathed a sigh of relief as he had already written 10,000 words before he was 30 years old.
Deng Hao had finished writing his self-criticism, a thick stack. In order to prevent it from being lost or falling apart, Deng Hao even found needle and thread to sew it together to make it look particularly formal, and then handed it to the team leader.
After Deng Hao submitted his self-criticism, Fan Mingguang, the captain of the First Production Brigade, read such a thick stack and felt that the other party's attitude was very sincere and the handwriting was also very good, so he immediately expressed his forgiveness for Deng Hao's previous actions and would not pursue the matter further.
Deng Hao’s matter is over, but new things have emerged.
The reason lies in Deng Hao's letter of apology.
In his self-criticism, he disclosed his childhood mistakes, but inadvertently also revealed other people's private affairs.
It’s not so bad for the older ones, after all, they are already dead and buried in the ground, and they can’t hear the villagers’ gossip, they can say whatever they want.
There are two couples who are still alive. Not only that, they already have their own children and grandchildren.
When this matter came out, both big families were in an uproar.
The mother-in-law, who was usually strong and had the final say, has now become a laughing stock among her daughters-in-law and grandchildren, and can't hold her head up every day.
"Grandma was arguing with someone in the cornfield!"
"Grandma is having an affair with Dasheng's grandfather!"
......
Things were not peaceful over there either. He was a taciturn grandfather with a lot of grandchildren. Now that this kind of thing happened, he became the laughing stock of the family. Not only that, he was already old, in his sixties, and his wife wanted to divorce him, which made him very anxious.
Sun Daming and Liu Chunling were both cursing in their hearts, secretly cursing Deng Hao's ancestors countless times in their hearts.
You said you would write a self-criticism, so just write it. Why did you bring up our affairs? How are we going to live in the village in the future?
Sun Daming could only comfort his wife: There is nothing wrong, we are just having fun, you are the one I love the most, otherwise why wouldn’t I live with her?
It was difficult for Liu Chunling to explain. Her old man had a bad temper. After knowing what had happened, he became furious and beat Liu Chunling up immediately. No one in the family tried to stop him.
Poor thing, Liu Chunling's life has become even more difficult. She gets beaten every once in a while. I guess it might be better when no one mentions it anymore.
"Sister, have you heard? Deng Hao's letter of apology has caused a big mess. Now people in the surrounding area know some inside stories of their village." Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu also heard about Sun Daming and Liu Chunling at school, and told their sister when they got home.
Huang Yuelan couldn't understand why a letter of apology could cause such a big mess, so she asked, "It's just a letter of apology, how could it cause such a big mess?"
"He should have written a self-criticism, but he had to start from the time he could remember. I don't know whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, but he actually exposed the two people who were having an affair in their village. Although decades have passed and their grandchildren are in school, the scandal of the two families has now become a topic of conversation among people after dinner." Huang Yueqiang explained to the young lady in detail.
So that's what happened. Huang Yuelan thought that this guy was not very smart since he could damage other people's commune blackboards and leave evidence. So it was not difficult to understand why he could accidentally expose other people's affair.
At this time, the postman's voice sounded outside the door: "Is Huang Yuelan home?"
"We're at home, at home!" The three Wang Aiguo brothers ran the fastest. They rushed directly to the door in the yard and opened the door for the postman.
Because they know that the arrival of the postman means the arrival of their father’s letter, or the arrival of the snacks their father bought, and this is the happiest thing for them.
Huang Yuelan also brought Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu to the door.
"This is a letter and a remittance slip, and this is a package. There are three copies in total, take a look." The postman sent the letter and the things to Huang Yuelan.
Huang Yuelan took it and glanced at it, confirming that it was correct, and signed on it, "Thank you for your hard work, Yueqiang. Go get some fruit for your uncle."
"It's okay. It's not hard at all. It's all part of our job. No need to be so polite." The postman said and turned around to leave.
Huang Yueqiang had already taken out some fruit from inside the house. "Uncle, you've been working hard to deliver letters and parcels every day. Have some fruit."
"Uncle, thank you so much for sending us so many things every time. Have some water." Huang Yuehu also scooped half a bucket of water with a gourd ladle and handed it to the postman.
"You are such good kids. Thank you." The postman touched Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu's heads lovingly, drank a few sips of water, then picked up the fruit and continued to deliver the mail.
After the postman left, Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu skillfully opened the package bag with scissors, while Wang Aiguo and his five brothers stood by and watched with anticipation in their eyes.
Unpacking the packages can bring them unexpected joy because they get something different every time.
"Wow! There's chocolate!"
"And White Rabbit Milk Candy!"
"These are walnuts! So many good things!"
"And there are books and notebooks."
......
Wang Aiguo and his five brothers were all relatively young. When they saw something good, they would grab it and would not let go once they got it. Their thinking was simple: if you could grab it, you would earn money, and whoever grabbed it first would own it.
"Take them all out, uncle will share them with you, otherwise no one can eat them." Huang Yueqiang showed his strong leadership talent at this time.
Knowing that their uncle always divided the food fairly, the brothers obediently handed over the delicious food they had grabbed.
Huang Yuelan opened the letter and read it carefully.
"Alan, one day without seeing you feels like three years, one month without seeing you feels like three years, I miss you every day..."
