Scholars in the courtyard

In Forty-Nine City, the investigation team office building.

Team Leader Zhang stood in the corridor, looking at the signs hanging on the walls of the doorways on both sides, silent.

I still remember the last time I came here, the high-pitched Internationale was playing in the corridor.

Those young men and women who were full of energy and fighting spirit shouted slogans of victory and fulfilled their oath of defense.

Every room is filled with vitality.

Feel the new power in them.

It is a force that overturns decay and obsolescence.

It was also a force that helped him overcome obstacles and navigate the broad road.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this power showed its prominence, it was hit in the head.

After an accident, the people here were wiped out.

That day, they lost too many passionate young people.

Too many backbones have been lost!

I also lost my direction and fell into confusion.

well!

After sighing, I walked forward step by step, with more regrets and unwillingness behind me!

The whole corridor was very quiet.

The exciting International Anthem in his ears was gone, the young men and women running high-spirited were gone, and the familiar smell was gone.

Now there are more people in the room who are looking down and confused.

They have lost their vitality.

They were like a Shiba Inu with a broken back, howling and barking, looking forward to the wolf king.

Arriving at the director's office, Team Leader Zhang gently opened the door, walked in and looked at everything inside.

A desk, a chair, a phone, a teacup, and a pen.

Frugal, clean, and the windows behind it are full of light.

When he came to the closet, Team Leader Zhang looked at the cup he had given him, and that handsome face appeared in his mind again.

"What a good comrade!"

I sighed in my heart and my eyes became deep.

Pick up the coffee cup and take out the unused coffee from the corner.

After a while, the aroma of coffee appeared again.

Just like that, standing in the sunshine in front of the window, quietly tasting the bitterness in the cup.

"That is a force that cannot be ignored, a force that cannot be touched!"

"If you can't control it, then let it remain silent. Don't touch it, don't wake it up!"

The scolding voice that day reappeared in my mind.

Although the voice was full of femininity, it frightened him.

That woman always saw his inability to see clearly.

So he chose to believe what the woman said.

So, facing the current situation, he flinched, he gave in, he chose to abandon his pawn to save his chariot, and finally escaped unscathed.

But because of this, he could see clearly how terrifying the power that exploded was.

That bottom-up connection, top-down command, and the final victory...

That book is a mountain they cannot deny.

Because denying that mountain means denying everything about them.

Thinking about it now, the scene that day still frightened him.

Fortunately, that kind of power is just a torrent hidden under the ice. As long as no one breaks the ice, it will not be revealed.

And he will never give those people another chance.

The heat in the cup was quickly lost in the cold air. After just a moment of confusion, the coffee in my hand was already cold.

Picked it up and took a sip, which made it even more bitter.

"Why would something like that appear in his hand?"

He murmured softly, and his mouth became even more bitter.

bang bang

"Hello, chief!"

"My subordinate Wang Guohua has been ordered to report here!"

A voice came from the door, and Team Leader Zhang turned back to look at the person.

He was a young man full of sunshine, well-dressed with a badge on his chest, a hat on his head, and a handbag in his hand.

In addition, the young man wears a conspicuous mark on his arm to indicate his identity.

"Comrade Guohua!"

"yes!"

"Come in, come in!"

Team Leader Zhang placed the coffee cup in front of the table with a happy expression on his face.

"Comrade Guohua, the current situation is not optimistic!"

The two sat down and Team Leader Zhang spoke earnestly.

Wang Guohua looked serious, then looked directly at Team Leader Zhang and assured him loudly, "Please rest assured, Team Leader, no matter how great the difficulties are, they will not be able to defeat my revolutionary determination."

"good!"

"The fact that you have this heart means that I saw you right."

"Thank you for the compliment, chief."

"You did a good job in eastern Zhejiang. If it wasn't needed here, I really don't want to transfer you back. But now..."

Team Leader Zhang didn't say much, but stood up, picked up a new cup, poured a bowl of coffee gently, and then handed it to him.

Wang Guohua immediately stood up and took it, "Chief, I understand what happened. Generally speaking, we were not wrong."

"The opponent is strong and has the upper hand."

"Our failure can only be said to be a hundred degrees of success, and it is not my fault!"

Team leader Zhang is very satisfied with this judgment.

Indeed, who would have thought that among the people they took advantage of, there were actually enemies?

Finally, if you put yellow mud in your crotch, it’s not just shit, it’s shit!

The opponents use this to stalk them and make them embarrassed.

"This incident has a great impact on the enthusiasm of comrades. You have seen it all the way."

"It will be difficult to carry out the work in the future."

"The reason I'm bringing you back this time is to change this situation."

"After negotiation from above, the original director position has been revoked. Now you can only take up the post of section chief."

Wang Guohua stood up immediately with a serious expression, "Don't worry, chief, no matter what position I am in, I will go all out to complete the task."

"Okay, the revolutionary construction needs screws like you, and good comrades like you."

Team leader Zhang smiled, but his heart was calm.

He had seen many passionate young people like this, and he had been tempered.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Wang Guohua picked up the coffee cup and drank it gently. The coffee was sugared.

Putting down the cup, he smiled confidently, "Chief, I decided to take the old road of revolution!"

Looking at Wang Guohua's confident look, Team leader Zhang became interested.

"What old road?"

"Let the comrades go to the countryside!"

The voice was sonorous and powerful, and full of determination, "You know, there are not only hammers, but also sickles."

There was a moment of silence in the office, and then the next second, Team leader Zhang's laughter suddenly rang out and spread throughout the corridor.

...

Outside the city of Sijiu, the correctional institution.

"Han Li, come out!"

The voice of the guard came, and the girl sitting on the bed in a daze in the room raised her head after hearing the voice. The sun shone on her face, but she was full of confidence.

"Discipline!"

Han Li walked out the door and looked at the middle-aged woman, her face calm and her voice crisp.

"Go meet your family!"

The supervisor's voice was still cold.

Han Li smiled immediately after hearing it, "Thank you!"

Then she walked forward.

Behind her, the supervisor sighed, full of confusion.

Such a good time, why not go on the right path?

She knew a little about Han Li's affairs, although it was said that no one who came in was good.

But this girl, through these days of contact, also knew that this was a girl who dared to do anything.

It's just that she took the wrong road.

Arriving at the visiting place, Han Li saw her relatives through the glass.

Her grandmother.

In an instant, seeing the grandmother's white hair, Han Li's eyes sparkled with tears.

Looking behind the grandmother, she found no one else.

Then she held back the tears in her eyes.

"Grandma!"

Han Li smiled, but the grandmother outside the glass wiped her eyes when she heard the voice.

"Hey!"

The old man responded, then took out a cloth bag from the bag behind him, and opened it tremblingly, revealing a big bun wrapped in a handkerchief.

Looking at the white buns and the familiar folds, Han Li couldn't hold back her tears.

"Eat it, pork, cabbage and vermicelli."

"Your mother made this!"

The old man gently passed the buns forward, and Han Li wiped her tears and took the buns.

Feeling the warmth, her hands trembled.

"Child, don't blame your parents, because of this, your father can't hold his head up in school, your mother is also angry, and your second brother was almost fired from the factory."

"Child, they don't want to come, you have to understand."

The old man cried and said, Han Li swallowed her saliva, held back her tears and nodded.

Then she took small bites of the buns and ate them bit by bit.

The old man watched quietly until Han Li finished the buns.

"Grandma, go back, don't worry about me."

"It's just that this time, I don't know if I can see you again when I come back, you have to eat well and sleep well."

"Also, tell my parents that if there is a chance, I will come back to see them."

"And my second brother, I'm sorry for him, I..."

Han Li said, her voice couldn't help sobbing.

"Jiaojiao, you, why are you like this?"

"My Jiaojiao."

Grandma was sobbing as she spoke, her head against the glass.

Han Li lowered her head and also pressed against the glass, wanting to touch grandma's gray hair, but it was unreachable.

Until the figure of the old man disappeared, Han Li slowly raised her head, covered her face with her hands, and cried bitterly.

"Okay, pack up your things and get ready to go."

The voice of the discipline came from behind again, and Han Li nodded with her face covered.

Get up and walk back.

Back to the residence, Han Li walked in.

"Han Li!"

The voice of the discipline sounded again.

Han Li was stunned, and her red face turned back.

Then the supervisor sighed, "I've been working here for more than ten years, and I've seen a lot of things. Let me tell you a few words."

"If you can listen, listen. If you can't listen, forget it."

Han Li nodded and looked at the supervisor seriously.

"Many people who come in feel that they are wronged, but they don't look for problems from themselves."

"Your case is different from theirs."

"You are still young, and young people tend to be one-sided. You will look at problems in a self-centered way, thinking that you are not wrong and others are not right."

"In fact, many times, there is no right or wrong on both sides."

The supervisor finished speaking, then looked at Han Li again, "Fortunately, you are still young and there is still a chance."

After speaking, he closed the door and walked to the corridor.

"Take a good rest on the afternoon train."

Han Li listened, bowed deeply, and then walked back to the bed.

Sitting on the bed, holding the blue and white handkerchief given by her grandmother, she put it under her nose and smelled the smell of home.

The sun shone in again, illuminating the blue lotus on the handkerchief, and fell on the girl's cheek, like a dream.

"Do you know how much a farmer has left after paying public grain and surplus grain in a year?

"Do you know what a family of five lives like in a year?"

"Do you know how much a pound of pork costs in the supply and marketing cooperative?"

"You only know how to sit in the office and popularize your ideas to others."

"You sit in the office and you get food, salary, allowances and even other income every month."

"But what about them?"

"A twenty-year-old young man has grown so big, consumed so much food, and consumed so many national resources. As a result, he wanders on the streets all day long, shouting the ideals you talk about, surrounding you and standing high, but sucking up the peasant parents and workers. The steamed buns that my brother bought with his blood and sweat, is this the choice you are talking about? "

"Are you comfortable eating such steamed buns?"

"Is this your choice?"

The roar before fainting still echoed in her ears, and that voice kept stirring in her heart.

Whenever she was alone, whenever she couldn't sleep, this voice would appear in her heart and linger.

"I'm going there, I'm going to see it, and I'm going to know it too!"

The firm voice echoed in the small room, but it made her feel particularly calm.

Look through the window and look at the sky in the distance.

"I want to go there and realize my dream."
