Chapter 62 Re-honor



Chapter 62: Recognition

It rained, and the weather in July was not cooler, but even hotter.

Crops and vegetables grew very luxuriantly, and the scene was full of vitality.

Lin Shu's vegetable garden was very strong, and the vegetables could not be eaten up by her family. In addition to distributing them to good neighbors, she also delivered them to the five-guarantee households and educated youth in the village twice.

Although the brigade cadres did not like those educated youth, Lin Shu was willing to show them kindness. After all, they still had to return to the city. She hoped that they would be admitted to university or enter various work units in the future. Thinking of the days of going to the countryside to work in the production team, they were not only tired and poor, but also cared for by the members.

This morning, Lin Shu was grinding beans at home, planning to make some soy milk to drink.

The beans were the medical fee brought back by Father Lu. A bowl of beans and tofu was not too much effort, so Lin Shu made soy milk for everyone to change the taste.

Lin Aidi was also there.

She came to gossip with Lin Shu about the Xu family.

"Did you go to the Xu family to get food that day? But her mother-in-law was so distressed that she fell ill that day and had a fever in the middle of the night. Oh, you don't know how much it was. Taking medicine didn't work, and she had to go to the commune health center for injections."

"Let me tell you, she was deliberately making trouble for people. My mother-in-law also said that she was in poor health to begin with, and she was so angry with her daughter-in-law and sister-in-law that she would be sick."

Lin Aidi said that Xu's mother was deliberately making trouble for people, and was scolded by her mother-in-law, saying that she was not kind and was also hypocritical about her being unfilial.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies. The mother

-in-law naturally takes advantage of the mother-in-law, and the daughter-in-law naturally thinks that the mother-in-law is acting. Lin Aidi did not have sufficient evidence to prove that Xu's mother was acting, but she just couldn't stand Xu's mother being like that, especially since her mother-in-law had a good relationship with Xu's mother. She always said that Xu's mother had a hard time, that Xu Shihua was filial, and that Lu Hehuan was not filial. She secretly said that her sister-in-law was not a good person, and that she must not be a good person either. She

was just blaming someone else!

Lin Aidi is now thinking about how to get Lin Shu to cure her mother-in-law.

Xu's mother was so angry that she went to the health hospital for an injection in the middle of the night. This shows that Lin Shu has really changed and learned skills from her mother-in-law.

Lin Shu smiled, "Auntie Xu is not in good health, and it is possible that she is sick."

As she was talking, Fang Dihua's loud voice came from outside, "Comrade Li, Comrade Zhou, why did you come in person? Sorry, the brigade has been busy recently and I don't have time to go to the county. I wanted to go to the hospital to see my eyes tomorrow before going there."

Soon Panpan, Tiantian and Huzi ran over first, followed by Xiaoyou.

Fang Dihua and the two police officers Li Guodong and Zhou Jianguo came over, followed by a group of old women and children who were watching the excitement.

Everyone was as happy as if it was the New Year.

When they first got the news of Lu Shaotang's sacrifice, everyone felt sorry for Lu Shaotang and also took into account the feelings of Fang Dihua and Lu Laodi. They didn't talk or laugh much when they gathered together, and they all sighed about Lu Shaotang's matter.

They saw that the old couple also looked solemn and sad, and wanted to share the grief with the Lu family.

As a result, they suddenly found one day that the old couple was not as depressed and sad as before, and their expressions were much more relaxed. Although they did not talk and laugh loudly, they were visibly relaxed.

Although they did not know what happened, they also relaxed a lot.

When they were relaxed, they naturally liked to join in the fun.

Lin Shu was also quite surprised. Did these two public security comrades come to explain to Fang Dihua that Zhou Qiaoling had a back-tune?

She asked Lin Aidi to help grind the pulp, and she washed her hands and went to entertain the guests, bringing out a tea tray to make chrysanthemum tea and honeysuckle tea for them.

Now that her chrysanthemums and honeysuckle have grown, she dries them out in the sun and soaks them in a hot pot every day, then makes a drink for her family.

It's half cold now, just right for drinking.

Li Guodong: "Comrade Lin, don't bother, we'll just say a few words and leave."

Lin Shu: "It's a long way to go, so we have to let the two comrades drink some water to moisten their throats."

Zhou Jianguo took out the document and showed it to Fang Dihua, "Auntie, you are really amazing."

They originally wanted to keep things quiet and just do a background check on Zhou Qiaoling to fool Fang Dihua.

Who knew that this background check would actually have problems!

Background checks usually check three generations of ancestors, and also include relatives such as uncles, aunts, and cousins.

During the background check, they inadvertently learned that Zhou Qiaoling's second aunt's uncle, who had divorced in her early years, was actually a cadre of the enemy's army.

They left the Gulf Island in a hurry, and Zhou Ergu and the children did not catch up, and finally stayed in the mainland.

Zhou Ergu was a smart person. She quickly found a person with the same name and surname as her husband to replace him.

Her husband's name was Wang Jie. There were many people with the same name and surname, so it was not difficult to find one.

The new husband was originally a small political cadre in the army. According to his political awareness, he should have known that Zhou Ergu had problems, but he coveted her wealth and chose to go along with her.

Zhou Ergu, as a military officer's wife, did not deal with ordinary people before, but she really got away with it.

Since then, the couple used money and schemes to pave the way, and the new husband also began to emerge. He changed jobs and directly entered the county party committee, and then joined the county party committee team.

Now the couple has retired, and the woman's previous son and the next children have also arranged good jobs. Those

who serve in the army, enter the factory, and enter the government are all enviable.

Zhou Jianguo and Li Guodong knew about this matter purely by chance. It was originally a formality and an investigation.

Who would have known that an old lady in her 70s found them and said that she was originally a servant in Zhou Ergu's family and knew Zhou Ergu's dirty deeds.

They just listened to it, and then they were shocked.

They quickly reported to the leader and immediately controlled Zhou Ergu and his wife.

Under the leadership of the provincial party committee, the municipal revolutionary committee, the municipal public security bureau, the county revolutionary committee, and the county public security bureau formed a joint team to investigate and interrogate the two.

After rigorous interrogation, they determined that Wang Jie did know that Zhou Ergu had problems from the beginning. He indirectly concluded that she was just looking for someone to rely on because she was abandoned by her man and wanted to protect herself.

He coveted Zhou Ergu's gold bars, so he didn't expose her, but the two got married and had children.

He assured the organization that Zhou Ergu was really just for self-protection and had no other enemy activities. He had always been loyal to the organization and monitored her.

Zhou Ergu also explained her motives and actions. It was indeed for self-protection. She was afraid that the organization would execute her or put her in jail because she was the wife of an enemy officer.

The organization punished the two people, expelling Wang Jie and Zhou Ergu from the party, canceling their qualifications and benefits as retired cadres, and forcing them to move out of the retired cadres' residence and move into a narrow tube-shaped building specially used to monitor some problematic cadres.

At the same time, the government also re-evaluated and politically reviewed their children. The children of the military and government agencies were expelled, and those of the factory were dealt with according to their actual performance and feedback from leaders and colleagues.

In addition, the jobs that Zhou Ergu and Wang Jie arranged for their relatives were also taken back, and they were all sent home.

This naturally included Zhou Qiaoling.

The two police officers naturally wouldn't tell Fang Dihua and Lin Shu in such detail. Some things were internal information and would not be leaked, but they could still tell them that Zhou Qiaoling had problems with her background check and was fired by the bank.

"Good guys!" Fang Dihua was stunned. "Two police officers, I just said that. I really didn't know anything in advance."

When the brazer stole the child, the Chang family complained that they knew the brazer had problems but didn't care about their child. It was really unfair!

If they knew in advance, wouldn't they have been arrested by the brazer?

Zhou Qiaoling was also a coincidence. She didn't know anything in advance, so as not to let the government misunderstand her.

Li Guodong smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry. We don't suspect that you have clairvoyance."

Several people laughed.

Zhou Jianguo took out a rolled-up certificate from his work bag and handed it to Fang Dihua with both hands: "Auntie, this is a reward for you and Comrade Lin."

Fang Dihua was surprised: "There is a certificate here too?"

The two laughed and said: "This is a joint reward from the County Revolutionary Committee and the County Public Security Bureau."

Then they took out an envelope and handed it to Fang Dihua, "This is a prize."

Lin Aidi didn't even bother grinding the milk, and ran over to see the excitement. She widened her eyes in surprise, "Another prize?"

She thought there were no prizes because the two didn't bring any hot pots or teacups this time, but she didn't expect there were.

Li Guodong smiled and said, "This is a certificate and prize awarded by the Revolutionary Committee and our Public Security Bureau to encourage the masses to remember the class struggle and not forget to grasp the revolution while promoting production. Twenty yuan and some living coupons."

Twenty!

Lin Aidi was so envious that she couldn't close her mouth.

She never had even five yuan in her hand!

The betrothal gifts and gift money were taken by her parents, and the money she kept in the bottom of the box was taken away by her mother-in-law not long after. She never had more than two yuan in her hand.

The Lu family must be the five-good family in the county and commune this year!

Others were also very envious and applauded.

A young woman with short braided hair and a youthful and beautiful appearance came out of the crowd. She was wearing an old military uniform and looked heroic.

She raised an old mechanical camera in her hand and said with a smile: "Comrades, let me take a photo for you."

Li Guodong and Zhou Jianguo knew her and were surprised: "Comrade Wei, why are you here?"

They introduced Fang Dihua and Lin Shu.

The female reporter was from the city's Liberation Army Newspaper, her name was Wei Ling.

She took out a few newspapers from her bag and handed them to Lin Shu, saying: "Comrade Lin Shu, I came here specifically to interview you, and I'm also sending you the newspapers that published your articles before."

When the people around heard this, they all came over to take a look.

Lin Shu was also surprised. She didn't expect there were five newspapers, including the provincial newspaper, the municipal newspaper, the PLA Daily, and two other newspapers that looked... not so high-end, much like some tabloids, but also had official publication numbers.

There were articles related to the brazer kidnapping case, mainly about the brazer's criminal experience and the general situation of the victim. A large part of the article talked about how the public security organs and the militia company carefully searched for clues under the wise leadership of the retired military leaders, conducted carpet searches over and over again, and finally rescued the victim. As for

the role of Lin Shu and the children, it mentioned that a certain enthusiastic group of people provided clues.

Tiantian was reading seriously, and Panpan was trying hard to find news about his family, but there was no mention of them. He muttered, "The enthusiastic masses?"

Lin Shu rubbed his head, "This is to protect us. The information of the enthusiastic masses cannot be made public, otherwise it will cause trouble."

Of course, the content of the interviews conducted by the public security personnel would not be published directly in the newspapers, as they were used to record the case.

Wei Ling: "It's like this. Comrade Lin Shu, I'm doing an interview with military wives now. After hearing about your deeds, I want to come and interview you."

Lin Shu said modestly: "Reporter Wei, I don't have any outstanding deeds just cooking at home every day. You should interview those women who fight on the front line of production, such as my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law."

Wei Ling explained: "The main interview targets are military wives."

Lin Shu immediately used her mother-in-law as a shield, "Reporter Wei, my mother-in-law is also a mother of a soldier, and she deserves an interview."

Wei Ling said helplessly, "Of course."

At this time, the questions in the interview were more formulaic, mainly reflecting class struggle as the main line, reflecting the heroic mothers and wives' selfless dedication behind them, etc.

It was not an interview with an individual, but a collective image.

Lin Shu felt that she was not suitable for the role, and that she was more suitable for her mother-in-law.

Fang Dihua was not afraid. She was bold and daring, and she would answer whatever reporter Wei asked.

Sometimes, because her answers were too honest, reporter Wei had to embellish them.

For example, "Auntie Fang, how did you raise such an excellent son?"

Auntie Fang: "Our third son did not need to be raised. He was born excellent. The eldest son could not be beaten to be excellent.

He was a fool." Wei Ling originally wanted to ask some questions such as what impact her son's sacrifice had on the family, but seeing that the old and young did not seem to be that sad, she was still asked that question.

If you want to interview martyrs' families, you should do a special interview topic in the future.

After the interview, Wei Ling took a photo with Fang Dihua and Lin Shu. Seeing Tiantian and Panpan looking eager to try, she knew they were Lu Shaotang's children, so she invited them in to take a photo.

This photo will not be used in the report, but will be sent to the Lu family for collection.

Fang Dihua and Lin Shu warmly invited them to stay for dinner, but they refused. Li Guodong and his team had to go back to report their work, and Wei Ling had other interview tasks to do, so she went to the county with the two of them first. As soon as they left on

their bikes, the team leader and Lu Shaocai came over together.

Looking at the other person's back, the captain regretted that he was late.

Although Lu Shaocai was angry that his second aunt didn't bring him along when she had something good to do, he felt balanced again when he saw that the captain was in the same dilemma as himself, "What's the matter, do you know how I feel?"

The captain glanced at him and said heartily, "I just wanted to say hello, but you wanted to flatter me."

Lu Shaocai: "I really saw that you are older... I am a few years older."

The captain snorted and turned away.

The news that the Lu family was praised and awarded a certificate spread throughout the team in the shortest time.

After knowing this, although Lao Changtou was jealous in his heart, he had to say "This is a good thing, a good thing" on the surface.

In his heart, he wondered why his family had not gotten such a good thing.

He secretly worked hard, and wanted to make a contribution someday, so that he could show his face in the county and have his family receive a certificate of commendation.

Lin Aidi was envious and jealous, and she was also wondering in her heart, was she really Lin Shu's lucky announcer?

Lin Shu had good things happen to her as soon as she came?

Then she should... not come here again in the future?

No, she came to Lin Shu to relax because she was in a bad mood after quarreling with her husband's mother-in-law. She didn't come here on purpose. So, could it be that Lin Shu would get good things just because she was not feeling well?

That... that was too much!

If she was not feeling well so much, how many good things would Lin Shu get?

She couldn't just let herself feel uncomfortable, so Lin Aidi went to Xu's house to find Xu's mother.

Lu Hehuan and Xu Shihua were not at home because they were at work, and Xu's mother was at home looking after the children.

She went in and said directly: "Auntie, you know, your good in-laws are having another happy event." She didn't care whether Xu's mother liked it or not, and continued: "You have made a contribution, and the county public security bureau has come to issue a certificate of merit. I don't know which unlucky person they have caught."

After saying that, she saw Xu's mother's face change, and she left in a happy mood.

Oh, throwing the uncomfortable things in her heart to others, someone feels uncomfortable for her, and she immediately feels comfortable.

Xu's mother was not originally a jealous person. After all, all her energy was on how to show how hard she worked, diligent, and difficult it was. She felt that others should live well and she should suffer.

But Lin Aidi said this deliberately, and she felt that Lin Shu asked her to show off.

Not jealous, but very angry!

Now she felt even more dissatisfied with Lu Hehuan.

When Lu Hehuan came back to eat at noon, she found that her mother-in-law had not cooked at all. They just had a hard nest for two people, a bowl of water each, and not even any pickled vegetables. Xu Yaoyao, however,

had egg custard to eat!

Lu Hehuan was unhappy, but she still accompanied Xiaoxin, "Mom, why didn't you cook?"

Xu's mother exclaimed, "I don't feel well. I think the team doesn't have much firewood. It's tiring for you to collect it. I'll burn less to save you energy. It's not cold, so it's okay to eat something cool."

Lu Hehuan knew that this was not what her mother-in-law said. She was the best at beating around the bush. She was just being unhappy and pretending to have opinions about her.

Without Xu Shihua, Lu Hehuan's mind was still clear.

"Mom, can you please tell me what's wrong? Otherwise, I won't know how I offended you."

She regretted it the moment she said this. Sure enough, Xu's mother had already started to wipe her tears.

Xu's mother sobbed, "Don't be angry, I'll make it for you now."

Lu Hehuan hurriedly said, "Mom, no, I'll just eat the steamed buns."

Xu Yaoyao held the spoon, looked at Lu Hehuan, and suddenly shouted fiercely, "Bad! Bad!"

Bad stepmother!

Fierce grandmother!

Lu Hehuan was immediately angry and aggrieved. What did she do to be bad?

Lin Shu, Fang Dihua and the children were counting the reward tickets at home.

"Wow, meat tickets!" The money-loving Panpan immediately widened his eyes.

A full five kilograms of meat tickets!

In addition, there are two kilograms of snack tickets, two kilograms of sugar tickets, and twenty kilograms of grain tickets.

Tiantian smiled with big eyes, "Grandma, mother, the leaders are so generous! They are really good people!"

Xu Xiaoyou also nodded vigorously. She also wanted to be a leader, and then give meat tickets to Grandma Fang and my sister-in-law.

No, no tickets, just give them meat, carry a big piece of meat, no, carry a big pig to reward them!

Just reward them for taking such good care of Xiaoyou, being so kind, and being so gentle!
