Original novel: "Walking in the Water of Qin Bahan" Serial Eighteen: The Man Who Learns Martial Arts
Served as captain. When we first arrived in Ankang and were still trainees, we heard the old workers say that ren Chonghui, the captain of the trainees who took us, was a person who practiced martial arts, was strong in martial arts, and had extraordinary skills, and under normal circumstances, three or five people could not get close at all. Its kung fu is known to everyone in the original unit Xi'an East Vehicle, and even in the north of the road. However, no one had seen him practice with his own eyes. Legend has it that the time he practiced often chose to be in the middle of the night. At that time, among the new workers recruited from all over the province, there were a few people who loved martial arts, and every day they danced their fists and made sticks, and a few people who spent their fists and embroidered legs were also mixed in, bluffing and flaunting the market. This time, as soon as I heard that the captain was a person who practiced martial arts, I naturally converged a lot.
At the end of the study class, the day the personnel order was announced, it was time for lunch to go to the canteen. Walking behind me with a chopstick bowl in his hand and talking to a few of our fellow students, when he was about to reach the door of the Duanli canteen set up by the leader, he smiled and asked me: "Are you happy this time?" I was angry that I didn't have myself in the next workshop list, and I listened to it and said, "Happy! "Didn't you get sent to Saigo?" I said, "No, there is me!" "Hearing that several other people present also said that the personnel director did not read me when announcing the list of people in the workshop, his face sank, he turned around and did not even eat, and went up to the tulou of the organ. When I saw him again, it was already a few minutes later, only to see him with dark skin, black face like Bao Gong, angrily coming out of the entrance of the building and walking in front of me, in front of so many people present, I said: "Say yes, say change will change!" Well, tomorrow you're on the right track with them. It can be seen that when he said this, his anger had not subsided.
After that, I went to Xixiang, and he came to the workshop several times with the leader of the section to inspect the work. Every time we meet, I first ask: "What, there is enough food to eat, and there is no letter from home?" "After hearing me say that there was enough food to eat, the family had received my letter. He said, "That's fine, and your parents will be relieved." "The others are straight, speak crisply, have no shelf, and are not like some of the domineering officials. Later, I learned that his family was rural, and he didn't have much culture, and his writing was obliquely one-sided. Perhaps he saw that I wanted to express my gratitude to him in another way, and when he came to see me in Saigo, he always said: "After the meeting, we will take the express train and leave." "I can see that he didn't want to give me a chance to express his heart."
Shortly after this, the Xiangyu Line was handed over, and Duan Shang appointed him to the Ankang East Column Inspection Office, the largest marshalling station in the sub-bureau, as the director of the workshop. Because he himself is a knocker, knowledgeable, proficient in business, coupled with the ability to understand the suffering of workers, the workshop has been rated as an advanced collective for safety production in the section, the sub-bureau, and even the road bureau every year, and the wall of awards hanging on the wall of the duty room is full of walls.
At the same time, the bachelor's dormitory has also become a center of staff activities. The frugal dormitory became a place for single workers and unmarried bachelors to talk to each other. At that time, the Xixiang Inspection Office had just been abolished, and I heard that I had been transferred to the Ankang East Column Inspection Office, and he had already left the Inspection Office, so he got the key to the door of the room next to his dormitory in advance and arranged for me to live in the dormitory next door to him. Since then, I have become a regular visitor to him. And he also became the person who had the greatest influence on me on my later growth path.
His family was in the countryside of Fuping, and he ate and did not wear anything when he was young, in the words of his mother to his grandson Ren Shang: "Your father was raised by me in the crotch of his pants." Ren Shang said that I heard from the people in my village that when my father joined the work, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and it was when he heard the villagers arguing about the important people on the railway, so he and the other two dolls in the village who were the same age as him went to Xi'an with a bunk on their backs. At that time, he said, the work on the railway was very hard. In the natural disaster of June 12, the two people who went out with him were hungry and could not stand it, and they all ran back to their hometown and countryside with their covers on their backs, only he grew up with a stubborn personality, and one of them did not come back to the East Car to learn to check the car. He said that my father was straight, anxious, and dared to rush against the leader. But others are open-minded and arrogant, jealous as hateful and dare to take responsibility. At that time, the north of the road was a wild area, there were many people living, and it was chaotic, once, I heard that one of the workers in his work class was riding a bicycle on the way to work, so that he was innocently stopped and beaten by a few street thugs, and the next morning when he got off the night shift, he encountered a few street goons at the intersection, two words were not said, three times five divided by two, and when people passing by saw it, he had already picked a few people aside, and since then, he has a long reputation, and the people around him know that his work is extraordinary. Ren Shang said that he was young at that time and did not know, and then heard an older breeder in the village say that one morning the sky was unknown, he got up to add material to the livestock, and saw a person with two legs in front of the milling plate not far away, and his body jumped over with a harrier, and in an instant he disappeared as if flying. At first he didn't see clearly, and then he rubbed his eyes to see, isn't this your father Ren Sanyuan (milk name)! The keeper said it snowed heavily that night, and a thick layer of snow was laid on the milling pan. Since then, I have learned that your father knows martial arts!
His son Ren Shang told me that before the opening of the Yang'an Line, his father Ren Chonghui served as the director of the Xi'an East Depot for three times, and after the opening of the new line, his family was in the countryside, which supported the transfer of the new line to Ankang. At that time, everyone was supplied with food forty-three and a half pounds a month. My family has many younger siblings and drags a lot, and he is reluctant to eat, so he often takes food stamps home to buy grain to fill the family's food deficit. After the opening of The Ankang East Station, he was in the East Column Inspection Director's meeting, the market has not been opened, and there is no individual shop and no individual canteen in the Shen family nest where he lives. The entire East Railway Station area is just a railway canteen, and the opening time is set for the commuting time of the day. A bachelor who had not closed his eyes all night, returned to the dormitory after the night shift, and often missed lunch and dinner time when he woke up. The railway family area is the Shen family nest on another mountain bag. If the bachelor who lives in the Single Dormitory of the Shen family nest goes to the station canteen to eat a meal after work, he will have to run at least three or four miles back and forth, and it is not a car road, it is a dirt road with soil on sunny days and mud on rainy days. For this reason, the bachelors suffered a lot in order to eat a meal that year. Later, there were kerosene stoves in society, some people set up small stoves, and the compatriots and acquaintances of the sports car bought noodles from Daxian County, cooked a few noodles when hungry, picked up a few pea tips, and mixed with soy sauce and vinegar as a meal. He had never cooked at home, and it was at this time that he went into the city and bought a kerosene stove and clumsily learned to cook. Son Ren Shang said, my father is a worried life. Otherwise, sometimes when my dad came back from vacation to give us a tantrum, my mom would often advise us behind our backs: "It's not easy for your dad to be outside alone, you don't know how hard it is for him." ”
As a cadet of the cadet team, his soldier, I know that as a righteous man, he not only can't rub the sand in his eyes, but also has a heavy sense of righteousness. Others are decent, have good conduct, walk upright, are not greedy and have no selfish desires, and have been out for decades, and there has never been a problem with flowers and weeds. Although a person is in good health and cannot return home several times a year, he is upright and proud, and he does not damage his reputation.
In the 1980s, the rural land was separated, and his family was in the countryside, because his wife was sick all year round, and the family lacked labor when the farm was busy, and he often went back to vacation and could not return as scheduled. After a long time, the leader is naturally unhappy. Later, I don't know whether he applied to the leader himself or whether the leader took care of him, so he returned to the section dispatch room and became a dispatcher. During this period, because I did not like to please the newcomers, the director who ate and drank liked me, I left the inspection office, first went to Duanshang, and later because I did not have a diploma, I could not mention it, left the organ to Wanyuan, and after a year, I returned to Ankang, and then I went to the railway court and became a political and legal cadre.
The railway court is in Jiangbei West Railway Station, he lives in the East Railway Station, and after leaving the original unit, it is inconvenient to see him again. Because there is still a certain distance between the east and west stations. Moreover, at that time, the traffic was not convenient, in addition to the commuter car in the morning and night and at noon every day, the only way to go was to take a self-employed trampoline, and sometimes the others were not there, so the two gradually lost some contact. Fortunately, the year I was transferred from the court, the railway came up with a policy, the staff retired internally, and the children could take over. His family is in the countryside, and he is worried that his children are not well arranged, and he just happened to encounter this opportunity. That is, in the same year, he took the same bus with his group of workers in the countryside, let his son Ren Shang take over, and retired back to his hometown of Fuping Rural.
His son Ren Shang was young and self-motivated at the time, and soon after taking over, he became the chairman of the station repair workshop union. The president of the union is an errand that does not please and does not leave work. The child had just joined the work at that time, his enthusiasm was high, and he was usually busy. With his father's old foundation, we recruited workers from all over the world, and we recruited his father as a trainee and other trainees who worked under his father's hands and later took up different leadership positions, as well as the old comrades who worked with his father, knew that he was the son of the captain and tried their best to take care of him.
At that time, although I had been promoted to the leadership position of the courtroom, after all, the court was different from the station, the interpersonal relationship was complicated, and everyone was not willing to be left behind, and everyone wanted to make progress and mix an official and a half post. There are new regulations on the age of cadres to be promoted and employed, and the age of promotion of cadres at the section level cannot exceed forty years old. I had just been promoted to a department leadership position, and I was just close to forty years old. In the courthouse, I was transferred from various units at the grass-roots level, and there was a group of people who were not different in age between me and me. A group of people coaxed a pig trough, I occupied the pig trough, naturally there is no other person's share, so the contradictions in all aspects immediately came to the fore. When I just stepped into a leadership position, the first difficulty I faced was that when the personnel were adjusted, some other courtrooms were not needed, there was no place to arrange, the leaders had headaches, and the big things that the leaders had troubled could not do, and the useless people who were unwilling to do small things were stuffed into the courtroom where I was. Just at this time, the family conflict escalated, and the confused wife made a fuss about divorcing me. Some people with ulterior motives just took advantage of this fatal weakness in my own character to openly attack me, and some people who had opinions about me took this opportunity to provoke some simple-minded people to attack you, and the work was very difficult.
It was also because of these many factors that dragged down my care for his son Ren Shang at that time. For this, I blamed myself for my life. Later, I was transferred to work and left Ankang, and this walk was twenty years. Neither of them has been heard from for twenty years. A few years ago, when several trainees who had been brought by him when he was the captain of the cadet team and later left Ankang to return to Yan'an for dinner together, mentioned him in the past, and discussed preparing to drive to Fuping to see him. Hearing this unfortunate news, several people were stunned. When I think of the student team, the care he gave us, especially myself, the care he gave me when I first joined the work, and the help he gave me on my growth path, half a day can not slow down.
The other day when I came back from Tibet and talked about travel with my friends, I said, in the past few years, people have traveled here and there, why can't we go to the places where we lived and worked in the past. Just imagine, what kind of mood would that be? I told them that when the time came, I would go to the homes of those who had pulled and helped them when they were in difficult circumstances, to see the families of those among them who had passed away, to burn a piece of paper on their graves, and to say to them, I will come to see you!
Today, when I open my phone again and leave these brief words on the screen, my mood is still not calm for a long time. Thinking about the captain, if he could hear or see this text I wrote under the Nine Springs, how good it would be. If this is the case, it can also alleviate a little sadness in my heart!
