Zhong Yuemin also stood up and said excitedly:
"I remember now. You are Uncle Ma. When I was a child, my father often mentioned you and kept talking about you."
"Hahaha……"
Ma Guiping laughed heartily, walked around the desk and came to Zhong Yuemin.
"Yuemin, I recognized your face the moment I saw it. You look so much like your father. Is your father okay now?"
"He's still under investigation, but he's in good health. My dad has come to terms with it and doesn't care about the mess outside. He just reads the newspaper and drinks tea every day."
Ma Guiping said, "The old commander will definitely be able to come out. I have no doubt about it. Yuemin, then why did you come to northern Shaanxi?"
Zhong Yuemin said:
"Uncle Ma, if my father's problem is not solved, I will be a child who can be educated well. I can't be counted on to join the army. So I can only go to the countryside to join the production team."
"Oh, I'm sorry to trouble you!" Ma Guiping immediately assured:
"This year's conscription has ended. As for next year's, Uncle Ma will definitely arrange for you to join the army. You will stay there for a year."
"Uncle Ma, I'm actually not that passionate about joining the army. Living in the countryside is pretty good."
"Nonsense!" Ma Guiping said:
"Your father was a hero his whole life. When he was your age, he was already a deputy regimental commander. You are the son of an old commander. How can you stay in the countryside like a coward? You must serve as a soldier. As for the rest, leave it to me."
Zhong Yuemin didn't say anything. Ma Guiping asked about his family situation and finally said:
"What's the matter with you coming to me so late at night?"
"Nothing, I just want to ask Uncle Ma for a small favor."
Zhong Yuemin said:
"Among us, the educated youth who came from Beijing, there are a few who get along well with each other. Let's see if we can be assigned to the same brigade so that we can look after each other."
Ma Guiping sat back in his chair and looked at the statistics table on the table.
"What are the names of your friends?"
"Zheng Tong, Yu Guoqing, Ning Qun, Ning Wei, Jiang Biyun..."
Said a lot.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute..."
Ma Guiping interrupted, angrily,
"Where do you have so few soldiers? Where do you get so many friends? If so many people go to one brigade, where will they live? They will eat up all the food the brigade has. Yuemin, this is your first time in northern Shaanxi. You don't know the situation here. It's so poor. We are uncle and nephew, but let me tell you something. In fact, the members of the villages below are very resistant to you educated youth from the city, because the fields of each brigade are fixed. Whether you come or not, you can do the work by yourselves.
But now there are so many more mouths to feed. We are not here to steal their food. There is not enough to eat to begin with. Do you think they will be happy?"
Zhong Yuemin said:
"Uncle Ma, if that's the case, you should get my friends together. There's strength in numbers, and if we get bullied, we can ask for justice."
Ma Guiping thought for a moment and said:
"We can arrange for you and your friends to go together. Wangjiagou, under the Hongqi Commune, is a production brigade with five production teams. It has many members and a lot of land. We plan to arrange for about fifty educated youth to go here. How about you go here?"
"Can!"
"Don't rush to agree," Ma Guiping said.
"Let me tell you about the situation in Wangjiagou. Most of the members in Wangjiagou are surnamed Wang. The brigade secretary is called Wang Long. He is not a pushover. He has been in the position of branch secretary in Wangjiagou for more than ten years. Every time the term of office comes for election, he is re-elected with a full vote. There are some tricks to this. Normally, no matter how well you perform as a branch secretary during your term, there will always be voices of opposition. This is very strange. There are also some rumors circulating in the commune that Wang Long is cruel and despicable in order to suppress dissidents. He has privately spread that whoever does not vote for him will suffer.
Let's put it this way: they were the local tyrants there. Last year, a group of educated youth went there. Perhaps due to their youthful vigor, for some unknown reason, they clashed with Wang Hu's third son, Wang Lang. The educated youth ended up with a broken leg and three broken ribs. If he hadn't been rescued in time, he would have lost his life. The incident initially caused a big uproar, and the director of the county revolutionary committee personally instructed that those responsible be severely punished. But what happened in the end? It was all talk and no action. Wang Lang spent six months in jail in the county, then was released. Now he's the director of public security in the brigade. It was as if nothing had happened. The educated youth returned to the city with a disabled right leg. The Wang family wasn't a good family.
"Yuemin, although I, your uncle Ma, am the director of the Youth League Office and have some power, it's limited. If anything happens to you, I will risk my life to protect you, but there are many other things that are beyond our control. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhong Yuemin nodded. "Uncle Ma, there's one more thing. Is there an educated youth here named Qin Ling? He's also from Beijing."
"Qinling Mountains?" Ma Guiping knew immediately.
"Isn't that girl very pretty, with two ponytails? She's quite tall too."
"Yes, Uncle Ma, do you know her?"
"How would I know him?" Ma Guiping said:
"This guy named Qin Ling reported here yesterday. When the Wangjiagou Brigade of Hongqi Commune came here to collect someone, it was the Wang Lang I just mentioned. This bad guy took a fancy to this girl and shamelessly approached her, asking her all sorts of questions. In the end, the girl was also very tough and slapped him in the face. I was the one who mediated the matter in the end, so I remember it."
"Uncle Ma, you said Qinling also went to Wangjiagou?"
"Yes, there were about thirteen people there yesterday, seven men and six women."
"Uncle Ma, please arrange for us to go to Wangjiagou, the sooner the better."
He was a little hesitant at first. After all, he had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the place. According to his uncle Ma, the Wang Long family was the local tyrants in Wangjiagou. He didn't have to be afraid of it alone, but if Zheng Tong, Jiang Biyun and others were implicated, that would not be good. Now he couldn't care less about so many things. No matter who you were, Wang Long or Wang Lang, if you annoyed me, I would kill them one by one and get rid of the harm to the people.
"Why, is that girl your girlfriend?"
"friend!"
"Okay, since you guys want to go, I'll make arrangements for you. If you have anything to do later, come find me in the county town."
"Okay, Uncle Ma!"
After finishing the discussion, I left the office and returned to the cave house in the guesthouse to rest. The next morning, I dressed and washed up. I had breakfast in the cafeteria again. The white flour buns were gone, and I had sorghum black flour buns instead. There were only two of them, and I ate them with pickles.
Luo Jianguo said:
"Yuemin, you're right. After just one day, the quality of the food has plummeted."
"It's good to have something to eat!" He was not worried at all. In the space, there were chickens, ducks, fish, meat, rice, wheat, and all kinds of vegetables. He had everything he wanted.
"Let me tell you something. Director Ma of the Youth Educated Office was my father's former bodyguard..."
"Holy shit, is it true?"
"Why would I lie to you? Last night I went..."
After hearing this, several people were excited.
"Okay, okay, we brothers can all be together. I'm not afraid of any hardship or fatigue."
"Listen to me, the Party Secretary of Wangjiagou..."
