Zhang Weifang and Zhang Weiren talked a lot about study, work, and current affairs.
Zhang Weifang knew that the storm was coming. She was worried that Zhang Weiren would be implicated at school, especially since he wanted to pursue a career in politics in the future. She was afraid that he would be easily instigated to do something bad.
"Weiren, I know you have great ambitions, but your current task is to study hard and not be easily blinded by certain things. People must have a bottom line and never forget their roots."
"Sister, I understand what you mean. Many schools are already in chaos right now, and I won't get involved in that."
"Well, as long as you understand, just protect yourself." He is the only scholar in the family who lives outside. Zhang Weifang hopes that he will become successful, but she hopes even more that he will be safe.
In 1965, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. People with bad backgrounds became more low-key. The commune sent people to the village every day to guide the work, and those who were lazy and slack were directly criticized by the commune.
Even the team leader was criticized. After returning to the village, Wu Dahai seriously warned everyone to work hard. Anyone who was lazy would have their work points deducted.
Before, Wu Dahai didn't manage things very strictly. As long as everyone could complete their work on time, he would turn a blind eye to some people.
But from now on, no one will have the opportunity to be lazy. The captain of each team must strictly manage his team members to ensure that they do not embarrass themselves in front of the commune.
The atmosphere in the village was very tense. The village committee held meetings of all sizes continuously, and the team leader's nerves were also on edge.
In the textile factory, the struggle between the trade union and the factory office has become more intense. Li Hongru's work has been difficult recently and he is often suppressed and disrupted by the trade union.
The Women's Federation has more work to do. They go out on field trips almost every day, in the wind and rain, and their legs have become thinner from walking.
In such a tense and exciting atmosphere, Shi Mingda and Li Zhuanqin got married.
Today is a special day, so the wedding of the two was held in a low-key manner.
After getting married, with Li Zhuanqin taking care of the housework, Shi Mingda lived a simple and happy life. Shi Mingtong was also very happy because he could now eat his fill every day.
Li Zhuanqin likes Shi Mingda very much, and he also respects Shi Mingtong very much.
Moreover, she works efficiently, is generous, gets along well with her neighbors, and has a good reputation in the village.
Xu Sanni wanted to cause trouble for Li Zhuanqin, but after Li Zhuanqin beat Shi Mingying in front of her, she didn't dare to do so.
She went to the team leader to complain, saying that Li Zhuanqin had beaten someone, but because of Shi Mingying's reputation, no one believed her at all, and Xu Sanni could only swallow the bitter fruit.
The team leader also specifically talked to Shi Mingda and asked him to take good care of his mother and sister and not let them bully the new daughter-in-law.
Every month when Shi Mingda paid his salary, Li Zhuanqin would immediately give five yuan to the team leader and ask him to give it to Xu Sanni. From then on, Li Zhuanqin's reputation became even better.
Shi Mingying can't go to school now, and doesn't want to go to work, so she stays at home lazy every day.
Ever since the team leader held a meeting in the commune, Shi Mingying's good days were over. She became the focus of surveillance in the village, and someone was watching her every day when she went to work.
Shi Mingying was so angry that she cried several times. She was tired and hungry every day and could not even lift her arms. She did not dare to say a word outside, and when she got home she took out all her anger on Xu Sanni.
"Mom, it's all your fault. Why did we split up the family when everything was fine? Now I still have to go to work every day, so why can my third brother go to school?"
"Mingying, are you blaming me? Isn't it because of your nonsense that the team leader doesn't let you go to school? Look at your reputation now, who would like you?" Without Shi Mingtong's help, Xu Sanni suffered from back pain every day, and she was quite resentful.
Gradually, the mother and daughter went from blaming each other at the beginning to fighting each other, and finally, they almost became enemies.
The two quarreled every day, so Shi Mingan chose to live on campus. He now lives in school every day and rarely goes home.
Shi Ming'an is smarter than Shi Mingying. He knows that he cannot rely on his second brother now. For his own future, he finds a rich girlfriend at school, hoping that the girlfriend can help him find a job in the future.
Summer soon arrived and the struggle in the textile factory had reached a fever pitch.
Mi Jiangang retired accordingly. Now the union is headed by Vice Chairman Tang Bing, a radical. After Chairman Mi retired, he led a group of his lackeys to start a power struggle.
There is an old jeep in the factory. Every time the factory director goes out for a meeting, he will notify the logistics department in advance and ask them to prepare the car.
In recent days, every time Ling Tianming wanted to use a car, it would be snatched away by the union.
Ling Tianming was no pushover either. He went to the logistics department and criticized the logistics director and the director. He then went to the union office and scolded Tang Bing severely. Only then did the union calm down temporarily.
Several people in the secretary's office have had a hard time recently. They are suppressed in every way they do their work. Even the usually elegant Zheng Yating has lost her good temper.
"Secretary Guo, they are going too far. We can't keep putting up with it, right?" Wang Yang went to the Propaganda Department today and was treated coldly again. He was almost going crazy.
"Everyone, please be patient. The factory manager is trying to find a solution."
Ling Tianming was also in a state of panic. He didn't expect that the factory would become a place where some people fought for power, and he had no good solution for the time being.
Li Hongru felt that if they continued like this, none of them would have a good ending.
He went straight to the factory director and expressed his willingness to help solve the problem. Ling Tianming was extremely happy. What he wanted most now was that someone could help him solve the problem.
"Xiao Li, if you have any ideas, speak up."
"Director, the union now relies on Tang Bing, but he is only the vice chairman."
"Xiao Li, you don't know that there are people supporting Tang Bing behind the scenes, otherwise how could he dare?" Speaking of Tang Bing, Ling Tianming felt both disgusted and a little apprehensive.
"Director, I remember you went to a meeting in the city before and got to know the secretary and director of the city textile factory. Did they praise you?"
"Oh, yes, I go to the meeting every year and become familiar with everyone." Ling Tianming still didn't understand what Li Hongru meant.
"Director, we're facing difficulties now. We should certainly seek support from higher-level authorities. What do you think?"
"Yes, Xiao Li, you are right. If you have any difficulties, go to the leader. Xiao Li, if this is done, I will definitely credit you with the achievement." Ling Tianming was smart and had already thought of several solutions.
"Director, this is what I should do. Everything I do is for myself."
After Li Hongru went back, Ling Tianming immediately went home, changed into worn-out clothes, and took a bus to Nanshan City alone.
At that time, there was no bus station in the county, and there was no bus directly from the county seat to Weiyu City, so one had to take a bus to Nanshan City first, and then take a train to Weiyu City.
