Qu Quansheng's novel "The Sky is Firmament" No. 79

Author Qu Quanzhen

He Qiuyan was about to go to see the big-character poster, but the cultural and educational group of the Provincial Revolutionary Committee informed her to go to a meeting, and the matter of reading the big-character poster could only be talked about when she came back.

He Qiuyan returned to school from the province and was already off work. While eating in the cafeteria, she heard that the big-character poster had been torn up by a female student named Mao Wen, and legend has it that the big-character poster was written by Associate Professor Liu Zhengren, who at first wandered around the advertising board and never showed up again.

He Qiuyan asked: "What is the content of the big-character poster? What problem does it reflect? Did the people from the propaganda department take a photo? Which department does Mao Wen belong to?" He Qiuyan asked while eating, and the people at the same table didn't know what to ask.

He Qiuyan divided the labor among the leaders of the mining institute to focus on the movement, and the big-character posters were torn up by the students, which was a very serious problem. She must immediately investigate and deal with it to prevent the situation from escalating.

When she went to work in the afternoon, He Qiuyan went to read the big-character poster first as usual, and then investigated and dealt with the matter about the big-character poster in the morning.

The big-character poster on the advertising column was the one she had seen yesterday, and only the big-character poster newly written by Mao Wen was pasted on it. The headline of the big-character poster was "Insulting Dean He's Personality Is Undermining the Deployment of the Cultural Revolution." The content of the big-character poster is only two lines:

"I tore up the big-character poster that slandered Dean He! Why didn't the person who wrote Dean He's big-character poster write his real name? How did you know about the things written on the big-character poster? Not daring to answer these two questions is spreading rumors and nonsense. The signature behind it is "Power System Mao Wen"

Teachers and classmates talked about Mao Wen's big-character posters, and they all praised Mao Wen for daring to act. Some students said: "Dean He is upright and upright, and he is dedicated to teaching and educating people, and the person who wrote that big-character poster must be a class enemy." ”

He Qiuyan was grateful, and was glad that there were still people among the students who could distinguish between right and wrong. But after thinking about it, I was in a dilemma: Letting Mao Wen's big-character poster be posted here would inevitably cause confrontation among the masses; taking down this big-character poster would cause new misunderstandings, and besides, we could see Mao Wen's character from the content of the big-character poster, and if we didn't get it right, there would be other troubles.

He Qiuyan was hesitating how to deal with it, when he suddenly heard someone calling Dean He. She looked back and saw that it was Peng Runtian. Without waiting for He Qiuyan to speak, Peng Runtian said hesitantly:

"Teacher He, I want to go to your office and report something to you. ”

He Qiuyan took Peng Runtian to the office, and neither of them spoke along the way. She was thinking about how to properly deal with Mao Wen's big-character poster, and she couldn't press the gourd to scoop it up.

Back in the office, He Qiuyan called the Propaganda Department to take a photo of Mao Wen's big-character poster and told her that I had seen it. Then do work for Mao Wen and ask her to take back the big-character poster to avoid creating new antagonism between the two factions.

Peng Runtian waited for Vice Dean He to finish the phone call, and talked about Liu Zhengren's search for him, and reported what he said to Liu Zhengren in a truth-seeking manner. repeatedly said that he was wrong and would never associate with Yoo Masato again. He Qiuyan comforted Peng Runtian and told him not to carry ideological baggage, grasp the general direction of the struggle, and strive to be a good proletarian revolutionary general. Peng Runtian's stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground, and he bent his waist 90 degrees to bow to Teacher He.

Peng Runtian came out of He Qiuyan's office with a sense of relief, his face filled with joy to be a new man. He thanked Mr. He for his generosity, despised Liu Zhengren for his shamelessness, and realized that his father's strictness had greatly benefited him.

When he returned home last night, Peng Runtian told his parents that Liu Zhengren first asked him to understand the situation, and then added fuel and vinegar to write a big-character poster slandering Teacher He. Peng Minsheng was so angry that he didn't roll his eyes, he raised his hand and slapped his son hard. The couple discussed, and the next day, Peng Runtian admitted his mistake to Mr. He, and then Peng Minsheng and his wife came to apologize to He Qiuyan.

Peng Minsheng told his father on the phone about his review of Teacher He, especially Teacher He's tolerant attitude, and the father and son did not carry any more ideological baggage.

Liu Zhengren, the writer of the big-character poster, is not calm. Yesterday, he had been targeted by Yu Jianguo, but Liu Zhengren misjudged the other party and thought that he had found a soulmate.

Yu Jianguo said to Liu Zhengren: "Peng Runtian told me that this big-character poster is your masterpiece, I will go and see it first, and then come to learn from you later." After listening to this, Liu Zhengren has been waiting in the distance.

After reading the big-character poster, Yu Jianguo was so angry that his face twisted his neck. The clenched fist joints rattled, and he couldn't beat Liu Zhengren flat with one punch.

Yu Jianguo forcibly suppressed his heart to calm down, turned around and walked to Liu Zhengren and said: "The point of view is clear, the facts are insufficient, at 10 o'clock in the evening, I will give you some condiments under the Guanlan Pavilion." ”

Liu Zhengren really didn't miss the appointment and came to the Guanlan Bridge on time. Yu Jianguo took advantage of his unpreparedness and pushed the other party into the pond. The water in the pond is not too deep, and no one can drown if you stand in it. But being pushed off the pool unsuspectingly will inevitably choke on a few mouthfuls of dirty water.

When Yu Jianguo jumped into the water, Liu Zhengren couldn't figure it out. Every time his head was lifted out of the water, he was pushed into the water, and when he raised his head again, he was pushed into the water again. After seven or eight times, Yu Jianguo felt that it was almost enough, so he asked Liu Zhengren to raise his head.

Yu Jianguo asked Liu Zhengren: "Who asked you to write a big-character poster? Where did the contents on it come from? To tell you the truth, I went around you, and if you dare to lie to me, I will drown you! If you die, you will have to drown in fear of sin, and you have nothing to do with me! Do you understand?"

"Understood, understood, I said, I said, oh......, oh, oh, vomit He said he was a classmate of He Qiuyan from middle school to university. He Qiuyan was his first love, he was beaten and disabled, He Qiuyan dumped him and ran away with her brother-in-law. Meng Changjiang said, if you don't make He Qiuyan stink, he won't be able to swallow that mouthful, and my vice president won't be able to!"

"You should write another big-character poster tomorrow and truthfully explain that the content of your big-character poster today is completely instigated and fabricated by others, and there is no factual basis. The purpose is to replace He Qiuyan and sit in the position of vice president of the School of Mining. Did you hear that?" asked Yu Jianguo.

Yoo Masato replied, "I heard it!"

"You repeat it!" Yu Jianguo pressed step by step.

After Liu Zhengren finished repeating, Yu Jianguo said: "If you dare to do anything wrong, I will let you eat and you won't be able to find your mouth!

"Letter, letter, letter!" Liu Zhengren was covered in chaff, submissive, and his head lit like a chicken pecking rice.

Of course, Liu Zhengren knows that only life is important in the world. The next day, a big-character poster was posted on the advertising board of the School of Mines, the full text of which was as follows:

Yoo Masato statement

I wrote the anonymous big-character poster yesterday that framed Vice President He Qiuyan. The purpose is to replace Vice President He, and all the facts are purely fabricated. I apologize to Vice Dean He! I thank Mao Wen for her criticism! I am deeply ashamed of my disdainful behavior! I apologize to all the teachers and classmates of the school!

Wear a sinner Liu Zhengren

A storm of horror at the Mining Academy subsided. It is a pity that He Qiuyan still does not know the content of the big-character poster that Liu Zhengren insulted her; others are embarrassed to reveal it to her; Yu Jianguo has not told the second person that Liu Zhengren's statement was written by him with a knife on Liu's neck.

He Qiuyan's mother-son relationship with Jianguo has entered a new dimension. The mother felt that the son had indeed inherited the superior genes of the father, and the son felt that the mother cared for him more than Jiaojiao and Tingting.

Yu Wenjian, who is far away on the plateau frontier, has always paid attention to the relationship between his two sons and He Qiuyan. However, he can't care about it now.

Yu Wenjian suffered from high-altitude pulmonary edema at a border post of 5,050 meters. The doctors were not sure, Yu Wenjian was unconscious, and the entourage was helpless......
