The Story of the Young: The Story of the Office

Let us listen to the stories of those who have experienced it together, and feel the history of people and people in history...

Yang Zhendong, male, former Wenzhou Zhiqing, Lianjiangkou Farm, Heilongjiang Province.

I. "Brigade Headquarters"

The farm is a state-run farm, the subordinate unit is more than a dozen sub-fields, after 1975 the sub-field was renamed the production team, the full name of the five sub-field is "Heilongjiang Province Lianjiangkou Farm Fifth Production Team", referred to as: "Five Teams". There was also a sign of "militia battalion" hanging at the door of the branch office, and the sign of the party branch was not hung. At that time, party committees such as the "CPC" or whatever "committee" had signs, such as the plane-like gate of the main field in Lianjiangkou Town, and another party committee sign was hung at the gate of the office building. But I didn't see what cards the grassroots branch committees hung, unlike the health care of the beauty of the teeth in the big and small cities now, all those who have gangs and partnerships like to hang a "party branch" and "trade union" signs to show that they are also people in the organization, and they are well-behaved units, just like the words that Zhao Benshan always likes to hang on his lips: "We want to go with the party!" Without the party, what do we eat and drink? Without the party, what are we going to do? This play, we have to understand the whole thing! "What was the name of the branch office at that time?" It should be called the field department or the office, but at that time, until 1979, when the intellectuals ran out, the office of the sub-field, the people in the sub-field were called "the brigade department".

Why is it called "Brigade Headquarters"? To use an inappropriate colloquial analogy, "a soldier bears a nest, will bear a nest", referring to the correctional cadres who originate from the sub-field. In 1968, before Zhiqing went to the countryside to go to the farm, the farm was a labor reform field, the full name was "Heilongjiang Province's 41st Labor Reform Detachment", and the Five Branch Field was the Fifth Labor Reform Brigade under the 41 detachment. Zhiqing came, there were too many people to live, and the unemployed peasant workers who had not been evacuated in that year overturned several new collective dormitories, but the office of the brigade headquarters was still "the sound of the waves", and the correctional cadres and other personnel in the sub-field were used to calling the office "brigade headquarters", and later the old people and newcomers have been called this way.

Speaking of the 41 Labor Reform Detachment, wenzhou's "old Zhejiang pi" still have bitter or bitter memories. At that time, although the personnel of the sub-field belonged to the second-level management, but the finance was a first-level accounting, the right to approve the return to visit relatives was in the sub-field, and the personal visit letter introduced did not have to go to the general field to exchange letters, if the exchange of letters was OK, because the general field was definitely a standard lead-printed introduction letter, and the title was definitely "State-owned Lianjiangkou Farm". And the introduction letter out of the sub-field is bad! The sub-field is a handwritten letter of introduction on letterhead paper, stamped with a stamp of the "Five-Point Revolutionary Committee", the title of the letter is a very alarming "41 Labor Reform Detachment" in red and black characters, holding the introduction letter of the "Labor Reform Detachment", and then saying that every black is very similar to the appearance of "Kanto Labor Reform Prisoners", the hardships and humiliation experienced by the checkpoints along the way to board the car, the boat, accommodation and accommodation, especially the interrogation torture of the militia in Shanghai who are tightly jumping at all times of the "string of class struggle".

2. "Living Map" Officer Wang

The titles of the cadres of the "brigade headquarters" of the farm may still follow the same set of the former labor reform team, either officers or administrators, and there is a playful saying in the northeast that "officers and officers, blind staff officers and chaotic officers", which means that there are many officers like cattle feathers, and if they do a good job, they are "doing" and "doing the right thing"; if they do the crotch diapers, people will say "chaotic officers", "officials are not big, and officials are not small!" "

Officer Wang was a security officer, and after working for a few years, he was transferred. Seven or eight hundred young people in the sub-field are all adolescent rebellious periods, and it is inevitable that there will be restless and provocative, and the sub-field will set up a security officer to basically calm the waves. This was because the political atmosphere at that time was severe; second, compared with today, the people at that time were honest and their vision was shorter than today; third, Officer Wang had a pair of copper handcuffs, and the handcuffs were skillful, and the author personally saw Officer Wang handcuffing people. Officer Wang was a dwarf, about the same height as Song Jiang on TV, and once faced with a large man with the surname Du, Zhiqing, Officer Wang did not blink his eyes and did not jump, and screamed: "Handcuffed up!" When the words fell, The lightning could not cover his ears, and he "squatted" and handcuffed the big man's hands with copper handcuffs. Fourth, Officer Wang has a unique skill in the field, everyone knows it, this unique job is to remember people's names, Officer Wang's name-keeping skills are a bit strange, specifically recording the personal resumes of senior CPC members, from the FIRST to the Ninth CPC National Congress, from the ministers to the chairman of the Central Committee, such as several family treasures upside down, answering questions and answering questions, and verifying that they are accurate. Since then, the reputation of Officer Wang's "living map" is well known to everyone, and over time, the reputation has spread far and wide, at this time, if anyone wants to say, Officer Wang called you, people with weak hearts are naturally frightened! Think about people is a living map, those damage you did people have long been depicted in the "map".

3. Revolutionary fighters

Anyway, there is no messenger in the brigade headquarters, but everyone calls him an officer, because his surname is Wu, and he is also called Old Wu. Officer Wu is one of the must-know people for political studies every Tuesday night. Officer Wu is an honest and old-fashioned farm cadre, who does not smoke or drink, looks like a person who does not invite disasters or cause trouble, and keeps to himself in peace, there are many such cadres, nothing special. But the secretary and director of the branch are afraid of him, and I am also afraid of him, because every time I change the content of the blackboard newspaper, he will very seriously point out that there are political problems with this sentence, even if you show him the mother book, that is, the study materials issued by the newspaper or the general field, Lao Wu still has a "anti-trend" spirit. Why are the secretaries and directors afraid of him? Courteously stand? Needless to say, I also know that such a cadre with strange thinking was a characteristic of that era, and such a person wanted to talk to you about revolution, which was very messy and messed up, and in case he crossed the level of whistle-blowing to the top, such as encountering a boss with an incorrect heart, the situation of the cadres who were really upright and did not keep their duties was very dangerous.

As a result, Officer Wu "stabbed the sky"! It just so happened that there was a "counter-trend" name "Huang Shuai Incident" during that period, and the Gang of Four trees was typically hyped up. At that time, there was a case of primary school students being punished for confronting the teacher, and Officer Wu wrote a letter to the central government to report it, and as a result, the central government attached great importance to it, and indeed sent an investigation team, and the provincial party committee and the general bureau cooperated to seriously investigate in the sub-field. A few days later, in the main hall of the sub-venue, the central investigation team announced the results of the investigation on the spot, and the conclusion was probably not wrong, and there was no basis for the program to go online. The author's impression is that several members of the Central Investigation Group are wearing long trench coats, are full of vigor and lofty spirits, have a good style, speak a loud speech, and speak Very good Beijing dialect.

After this incident, Officer Wu did not restrain himself, but was still full of sharpness. The secretary, the director, and the director in charge of politics and education did not retaliate, but were more cautious, trying to avoid him, and sometimes when they could not stand being disturbed by The so-called reflection of the problem by Officer Wu, the impatient secretary would roar angrily, and that was it.

alas! The people of that era were like this, they couldn't say that they were bad people and bad guys, people were all good people, they were all talking about revolution, that is, some people were particularly strong in fighting spirit, and some people couldn't keep up with how hard they worked.

Fourth, there is no desk

The accountant of the brigade headquarters uses a desk, at least the abacus and ledger cannot be used on the knee! Grain keepers, warehouse keepers use desks, they have to use original documents, without a table, isn't that a rip-off? The statistics of the clerical documents are written on the desk, at least the writing should be written on the desk; the women's director is to use the desk, and at least the condoms issued must have drawers! Needless to say, the interrogation records and handcuffs cannot be held in the hands of the security officer every day!

The secretary and director of the brigade department, several deputy directors have never or did not use desks, went to work or studied at night, huang Quanzhi and other two male teachers sat on the kang in the east room of the brigade headquarters finance room and smoked even if they went to work; sometimes they stood at the entrance of the brigade department or simply squatted, or went to the counter of the cashier in the finance room to chat and go to work.

It was not until one year, when Ling Ruihua, a Jiangsu native who had been serving as a re-election instructor in Xishan, was transferred to the sub-field as deputy director that he asked for a desk and often worked in the office very regularly. Deputy Director Ling was originally delegated by the general field organs, and the style of organs was the style of organs. The farm of the grass-roots correctional cadres was like this.

5. Hand-cranked telephone and hand-cranked siren

The office has two earthen kangs and several futons, only one bed is public, usually used for duty; there are two beds that are private, and the bachelor teachers of the two children's school live here. There are a few desks, a few benches in the conference room, a file cabinet in the finance room, and these are the equipment, which are not worth a few dollars. Valuable things are hand-cranked telephones and also hand-cranked alarm machines.

There are two hand-cranked telephones, one through the main field switchboard, the other is to contact the Xishan four-linked special plane, both telephones have no external number, to dial the local telephone and long-distance need to call the main field switchboard through the hand-cranked telephone and then turn, the same is true for the answer, reversed in. Hand-cranked telephone is a dry battery, dry battery hanging on the wall, telephone, strict words when the application of shaking the phone, to use the right hand to shake vigorously, the mouth to keep "feeding", have you seen the "Southern Expedition and Northern War" movie Kuomintang Zhang Junchang shook the phone? Our hand-cranked telephone scene is similar to that of Zhang Junchang, especially the october autumn harvest to the general field to progress, a daily report, in order to omit the time, the horizontal items of the schedule are reported in Arabic word order, and then synchronously report the details of the vertical column, often such as: "01:3324;02:2134...12:550 ..." In the microphone, you can often hear the murmur of other sub-field reports of progress, one after another, shouting and shouting, making it really like fighting in Shangganling, and like Li Xia in the movie "The Eternal Wave" is sending a report. The progress reporting requirements are six o'clock every night, the telephone is installed in the hut where the meeting is held almost every night, the people who attend the meeting enter the house on the kang, a look at the telephone Arabic number report, listen to the number of the sound of the number is still depressed, make a mysterious nagging, at first they also feel curious, thinking that the progress of the reporter is in the reason of the mysterious, in the whole scene, later they also understood, see the strange, but also said that this method is good, less verbose, save trouble.

The shape and size of the hand-cranked siren is like the minesweeper in the "Mine Warfare" movie, the handle is slightly shorter, there is no driver, the hand shake can turn the fan page to make a sound, the faster the shake the sound, the louder the alarm sound is and the machine alarm sound we hear from today's real life in the movie does not feel different, it sounds heart-wrenching.
