Sixteen, know the youth
In 1976, the sons of the Ulanqab League Transport Company wanted to come to the Bayin People's Commune of the Right Central Banner to join the troops and go to the countryside. The party committee of the commune studied and decided to live in the north forest farm uniformly. After more than a year of construction, the North Forest Farm has been fully prepared, just waiting for a large number of Young Intellectuals in Jining to move in.
In the autumn of September, the big car of the League Transport Company pulled the Mao Zedong Thought Literary and Art Propaganda Team of Zhiqing, the family members of the Zhiqing, and the League Transport Company, and a group of seven or eight buses came to Xishuiquan Village of Bayin Commune.
On both sides of the road of the West Water Spring Production Team, the crowd of people who welcomed them from the middle of the road beat gongs and drums and waved ribbons to welcome the knowledgeable youth and the families of the intellectuals who came from afar. The crowd was crowded and the scene was warm and grand.
The members of the commune compound from all major teams gathered solemnly and welcomed Jining Zhiqing to come to Bayin Commune to join the team in the countryside. Hou Zhigao, then secretary of the commune party committee, delivered a speech: "We warmly welcome young intellectuals to come to our company and join the team in the countryside. "The representative of Zhiqing spoke, and the director of the forest farm spoke.
After the successful conclusion of the meeting, the propaganda team of the League Transport Company held a theatrical performance.
The propaganda team dressed in novel fashion, the musical instruments were advanced and beautiful, and the actors were neat and capable. The curtain was not opened, and the gongs and drums of the rhythmic opening were deafening and resounded throughout the courtyard of the commune.
The melodious flute sound and the gentle huqin sound are pleasant to the ear. A duo brand song "Wanshan Hong" listened to the audience like a mesmerized.
The curtain opened, and the crisp and sweet mezzo-soprano voice of the announcer was refreshing. Smack your lips, reach out and like it, nod your head and say yes, and shout hello.
As soon as the actors of the first program "Visiting the New City" appeared, everyone was amazed, this urban and rural people are not the same, they are well-informed, one move, one move, one word and one deed, let us old native farmers, feel very new and fashionable.
Their Mandarin is crisp and pleasant, their appearance is sweet and handsome, and they are dressed up one by one. Handsome men and beautiful women are all white and beautiful, their faces are delicate and beautiful, compared to those of us who are rural farmers, it is really a heaven and an underground.
Melodious singing voice, sweet voice, exquisite passages. "The poles are on the right side, Najin is busy generating electricity day and night, picking up the line to come to the house is bright, Lhasa shines day and night, Abba is fast, look at the new face of Lhasa, come fast, hurry up, oh yes!" After a song was sung, another song was staged, "The Old Two Mouths Learn Mao Selection". Song after song, two hours of the show, soon ended.
Father and they led all the intellectuals to settle down in the North Forest Farm, and thus began a period of battle with the intellectual youth.
17. Share weal and woe
Together with several other farm directors of the forest farm, young intellectuals who returned to their hometowns, and young intellectuals who went to the countryside to join the team, my father responded to Chairman Mao's call for agricultural science in the North Forest Farm, setting off a second upsurge of grasping the revolution and promoting production.
Daxing farmland water conservancy infrastructure, drill wells and repair canals, expand water watering, refine the machine ploughing road, dig pits and plant trees on both sides of the road, and fully implement the four supporting roads, forests, canals, and fields.
Dazhai-style terraces, fields into blocks, forests into rows, canals into a network, roads and roads. Vigorously carry out afforestation, green the fields, green the forest farms to live around, let the open space become an oasis, let the mounds grow trees, and the green shade sprinkles the forest farms. The field is lined with green trees and the air is fresh. The North Forest Farm is built like a barracks-like farm. Four rows of new houses, two rows at the front and two, although not luxurious, but clean and tidy.
Man is the place where man lives, livestock is the breeding place of livestock, and well water does not violate river water. Raising pigs, sheep, raising chickens and rabbits is comprehensively raised, implemented to people, and is specifically responsible for breeding. Both quantity and quality. If you want to let the young people who come from afar have the warmth of home and the suffering people have the energy to work, you must find a way to let them eat enough to eat well. Usually improve your life can smell meat and eat meat. After the festival, I can eat enough pork, mutton, chicken and eggs that I raise. To do these details of life well, we must work hard and spend a lot of effort to raise these cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens.
All the employees of the North Forest Farm come from two parts, one part is the knowledge youth who returned to the hometown, and the other part is the knowledge youth from the city who went to the countryside. There are many young people who are actively demanding progress, and a literary and artistic propaganda team composed of male and female intellectual youth often tours the production teams of each brigade.
After a day of labor, the intellectuals and young people went back in the evening and got rehearsal programs in the rehearsal room, such as the modern revolutionary model drama "Red Lantern", "Sha Jiabang", "Wisdom to Conquer The Tiger Mountain", and the duo stage small drama.
These programs keep up with the pulse of the times, and the majority of members are happy to hear them. The actors of the publicity team worked tirelessly and meticulously in the rehearsal room. Drummers, strings, and flute players, everyone worked together to carve carefully, carefully interpret each role, and figure out the inner world of each character. Successfully produced a lot of excellent programs, such as the then "Xiugu Persuasion", "Selling Bowls", "Selling Vegetables", "Visiting the New City" and other two-person stage small dramas, these programs are flexible and diverse, lively and novel, popular among the population, and deeply loved by the majority of members and the masses.
Many members of the propaganda team are multi-talented, including Wang Sanhu, Wang Guilin, Wang Xiao, Wang Ping, Wang Wenqing, Wang Jintang, Song Zhili, Shi Jinlan, Li Gailin, Ji Ying, Kang Lewen, chen Hejiang, and so on. They were well-known and well-known celebrities of the propaganda team in Bayin Commune at that time.
Just when the work of the forest farm is on the right track, the field leaders and the field workers are united and working together to achieve a series of achievements, the father is not optimistic due to the destruction of the movement in the previous few years, the physical condition is not optimistic, the lurking disease slowly hit many parts of the body, the father had to put down the work at hand, go home to recuperate and treat.
Eighteen, the disease is haunted
Father due to many exercise setbacks, the body of the various parts of the damage is serious, long work, the body can not get rest and recuperation, plus work in the eating and sleeping irregular, late meal, early meal, up five more sleep in the middle of the night, pouring down the physical condition deterioration, a year is not as good as a year. A variety of diseases are entangled, the face is haggard, and the physical function is gradually declining.
We sisters, sent my father to Zhongqi University Hospital, the doctor examined is pulmonary heart disease and stomach disease, waist, back, legs and shoulders are seriously damaged, can only be equipped with some painkillers to relieve pain, the hope of cure is not great, it is recommended to go home for rest and conditioning.
A piece of paper diagnosis results instantly punched our sisters' hearts into the ice cave, from head to toe. What should I do? Our sisters had big eyes and small eyes, and no one had a better way. Sending my father to Hohhot, where medical conditions are better, for another diagnosis is the best option.
However, in that era, everyone's family was poor and poor, and they had just been able to solve the problem of food and clothing and pool their money to see a doctor. In this way, we helplessly took my father back to his hometown. Watching his father who was losing weight, his body exhausted by the disease.
When my father returned from The Zhongqi Hospital, we also asked all kinds of barefoot doctors, quack doctors, Yin and Yang Erzhai, and Daxian Ye to come to the house for diagnosis and treatment.
I have also eaten many traditional Chinese medicines, folk remedies, and ancestral secret recipes. But the results were very small, just to make my father happy for a while, and then the pain continued unabated.
After a while, my father may have learned something about his condition, and his mentality collapsed. Exhausted, demoralized, sick, bedridden, my sisters took turns to serve my father. Many of my father's colleagues and good friends came to visit my father, asked long and short questions, and comforted him. The young people he had raised in his hands, when he heard that his father was seriously ill, carried canned milk powder and came to the house to visit his father, and they came with gifts and tears when they left.
The disease is mercilessly rampant in the father.com. We can only look at my father's pained expression and listen to his low moans of clenching his teeth, but there is nothing we can do to share a little pain for my father. Watching our father lie on his hospital bed, our hearts ached like a knife cut.
19. At the time of death
After the Spring Festival in 1982, my father's illness became more and more serious every day, he could not take care of himself, and he had to take turns to eat and. The pain was really bad, so I bought some painkiller tablets for my father and ate them to relieve it. The illness continued until the fourth month of the lunar calendar, when my father was so emaciated that he was left with only skin and bones, his eyes were sunken, his face was scorched yellow, and his legs and feet were swollen out of shape. The father was tormented by the disease, and he was powerless to speak, and even the moans of pain were powerless to shout.
In the early ninth day of April, my father's illness suddenly worsened, up and down. Sometimes it's like talking in a dream, muttering in a low voice and slurring the language. Sometimes it suddenly seems to be well, and I open my eyes and look around. When he saw several underage children, the third sister and the fourth brother, the father seemed to have a lot to say, but he just twitched at the corners of his mouth, could not make a sound, and a few tears flowed down his cheeks. After a while, my father held my hand tightly and said slowly, "Shuxi, It seems that Daddy is not going to be able to do it, this pass is difficult to escape." In the future, there will be more things at home when it troubles you. When the father finished speaking, it was as if he had passed out, closed his eyes, and began to moan in pain again. As I rubbed my father's legs and feet, I talked to him and burst into tears. My father had already seen my crying face, looked at me affectionately, and said to me meaningfully: "Don't cry, learn to be strong in the future, there are too many things that you need to do at home, and you must have the appearance of a manly husband." Don't be a mother-in-law, like a woman. "My father's words made me clear about my responsibilities, and I saw how my father at my age spent his life and how to create a beautiful and happy life for the big family!" The night finally came to an end! My father's condition seemed to be stable, and he lay quietly on the kang with his eyes slightly closed.
On the morning of the tenth day of the first month of April, I went out to carry water and was pulling water on the well platform, when suddenly the second sister shouted at me: "Shuxi, Daddy can't do it, go back!" "I threw down the bucket and ran home, and my father was like a lamp, boiling out the last drop of oil, and the oil went out. He was short of breath, his lips purple, a trace of snoring water flowed from the corners of his mouth, his lips trembled a few times, his eyes were closed, and in the midst of a few cries of our sisters, he left. This day is May 3, 1982, the tenth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar. Father left us forever, and he took him to another world full of illness to find his mother, who had died two years before him!
20. Calling
His father fought for the Communist Party all his life, and he was innocent all his life and had a clean wind in his sleeves. His death alarmed many former friends and colleagues to burn paper to mourn. Bayin People's Commune sent wreaths and assigned Comrade Zhang Quanfu, member of the Standing Committee of the Commune Party Committee and deputy secretary of the commune, to participate in the mourning activities. The memorial service was presided over by the current secretary Chai Fuhe, and Comrade Zhang Quanfu, deputy secretary of the commune party committee, delivered a eulogy, in which Secretary Zhang introduced his father's life deeds, and the eulogy said: "Comrade Zheng Riqian has made several visits, but he has been called by the masses, and the party and government have appointed and taken office. Because of his loyalty to the party's cause, his enthusiasm and thoughtfulness to the masses of the people, his long reign, his work is serious and responsible, and his work style is upright and noble. It enjoys high praise from the party and government masses and wins the hearts and minds of the people. "This is the care and condolences given by the party and the government to a party branch secretary and a veteran communist party member for many years, and it is a great affirmation of my father Zheng Riqian's work performance."
At the age of 57, his father was killed by a vicious disease. With endless reluctance, he left the black land that gave birth to him and raised him, the children and relatives who accompanied him day and night, the colleagues and friends he had worked with for many years, the intellectual youth who shared happiness and hardship with him, and the North Forest Farm where he was building and struggling. There are too many things in life that are not finished, my father is too tired, and he will be buried forever in the black land of Bayin Commune...
Today, I call on my father, may there be no more disease in heaven, may there be no more disease in another world, and you will be sick and sick, and you will be healthy and never in pain. Rest assured, Father! I have done all the big things and small things you have asked, and my brother has married and had children, and his children and grandchildren are full of children. The sister has married a foreign country, the husband sings with the woman, and the people prosper. They live happily and all are healthy! Father, you will be satisfied with the Spirit of Heaven. You and your mother look at us, and we will meet here in the next life! Recount the affection of children!
