Tang Deliang's captain Shi Fu
Captain Shifu, who is less than 1.6 meters tall, is strong, energetic, loves to shave his head and is smart and capable. When he is not a captain, he is a happy young man. He likes singing revolutionary songs and playing cards. He likes to go to the commune auditorium to watch movies by bike, go to Yonghe market to watch plays and play erhu. As the saying goes, "erhu lasts a thousand days, flute lasts a hundred days", but he didn't finish primary school. I wonder when he learned this skill. In the culture room, it is common for him to play with great devotion. There is a small tea-picking troupe in the team, and he is an indispensable pillar. By the end of 1960s, his family had built a big new house with a smooth and shiny mahogany sofa. Everyone likes to sit on it, lean on it and enjoy it. Unless it rains, neighbors come to his house every night to play, play cards, catch chess and chat, which can be described as a sea of people. Sometimes the production team's general meeting and team Committee are also held in his home. By the first half of 1970s, his family had bicycles, clothes carts, radios and so on, which made him one of the best families in the team. According to the present statement, he has entered a "well-off society". Because his family has a large labor force (he and his mother and sister are full-time, his father is part-time, and a younger brother is studying), and the production team has a high dividend income. He is the first member of the team to wear a watch. At work, he would open his left shirt sleeve from time to time, look at his watch, stretch his waist and say, "It's half past ten." "It's half past twelve." "It's half past six." One day in August of one year, when he was busy with farming, he took off his watch and put it in the pocket of Dacron shirt. I don't know when I fell into the paddy field and disappeared. Now it worries him. Everyone helped him find it and groped back and forth in the mud. So many rice fields have disappeared. Who knows which one? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Shi Fu's speech is just like "bamboo tube pouring mung beans", straight and straight. One day, he didn't like the cowardice of a young man in the village and said bluntly, "If you are caught, you are not a traitor. My name is not Tang! " Shi Fu loves to listen to radio and often plays song channels for people who visit his home, adding a touch of literary color to the monotonous rural life. I also like listening to the weather forecast. If the climate changes greatly, I will remind you: "It will rain heavily tomorrow!" " ""It will cool down tomorrow! "Occasionally, he will buy books. About 197 1 year, he bought a medical book about female pregnancy and childbirth in Yonghe Xinhua Bookstore (the title has been forgotten today), which contains a large number of pictures of female reproductive system anatomy and childbirth, including photography and more line drawings. The news spread like wildfire and everyone rushed to borrow it. Seeing that we "villagers" are heartbroken, it's really an eye-opener, a feast for the eyes, and a "knowledge of medicine and health" that may not be used for a lifetime. Shifu is unmarried and has no object. I don't know why he is interested in this kind of book. One day when I was working in the field, a group of women chattered about pregnancy and childbirth for some reason. Although I am a man, they didn't shy away because I was young. As she spoke, an aunt suddenly said, "Some men know this better than you. "Shifu has a book about women having children. That picture is really embarrassing. " I thought to myself: Ha! Could it be that the teacher's book has spread to women?
Shi Fu was appointed captain by accident. 1974 One day in the spring, he had a fierce conflict with the then captain Don.
Tang Xing is in his thirties, with a slight hunchback and a thin black face. Young people with green skins in the village all respectfully call him "Brother Gou Xi" or "Brother Xi".
Why did they quarrel? I don't know. When I arrived at the scene, they were already under the eaves of a corner in the middle of the village, blushing and making a rough voice. Surrounded by circles of onlookers. I saw Shi Fu pointing to Wei Xing's nose and saying, "What you did was completely chaotic. Many members have opinions on you! " A middle-aged man nicknamed Dog Leg in the team also spoke for the teacher: "I have never seen a captain like you gnashing his teeth here (in vernacular, arrogant)." Shi Fu added, "You look like a monkey, and you deserve to be the production captain!" Don't expose your shortcomings when swearing. It's interesting to expose your shortcomings. This time, I was so angry that I saw his face turn from red to purple and his lips trembled. He was speechless for a long time. Later, I saw him put his right hand into his trouser pocket, grabbed the whistle that usually called for work and meetings, shook it in front of everyone, and then threw it on the ground and said, "Fuck this bad captain!" " Say that finish, he angrily left. It is said that he resigned from the brigade or commune.
1in mid-July, 975, I graduated from high school and returned to my hometown to be a farmer. On that day, I reported to the captain, Shi Fulian, who said, "Good, good! There is another young man with culture in our team. " Thus began my career as a member of the people's commune. One night in 10 this year, the captain suddenly announced at the mass meeting that with the consent of the brigade, I was appointed as the team member and scorekeeper of Tangcun No.7 Team.
In mid-April this year, just as the spring planting was in full swing, Shi Fu, covered in mud and flowers, came up to me and said, "Our team is going to set up a consignment shop to facilitate the villagers to buy salt, oil and sweet and sour." I said, "Good. This is a good thing. Our village is too far away to go to Shangcao Market. " Shifu said, "Do you want to be a salesman in an agency?" "When the agent assistant? I didn't think about it. " Shi Fu added: "Everyone in the team thinks that you are good at thinking, doing things right and not selfish. The brigade also agreed. " I hesitated for a while and reluctantly agreed: "Forget it, let's do it." At noon that day, on the way back from work, Wei Xing said to me, "I asked you to be a consignment agent because you are educated and honest." Some people are educated but unreliable, so we don't choose them. "In fact, I don't want to be a salesman in any institution. My ideal or ambition is to become a writer, like Haoran, who was popular in the literary world at that time, and write several books; As a writer, we should go deep into the society and the fiery life of rural production and construction, observe life, experience life, get in touch with people extensively, and analyze everyone and everything, so that we can have life materials for literary creation. If I am trapped in a small office in a mountain village all day, how can I go deep into the society to observe and experience life, and my lofty ideal will not be ruined? But the captain did it for my own good, and the brigade also agreed to quit. Why not give them face?
Soldiers are expensive and fast. The construction of the agency shop was soon implemented, and the location was in the hydropower station in the team. At that time, the hydropower station was busy again. "Bang bang", several teams of carpenters are sawing here, busy making containers and tables. Just as the agency project was about to be completed, suddenly there came a message: "The agency is not working!" The reason is that another production team, which belongs to our brigade, is close to the brigade headquarters and will also set up an agency. The commune said that a brigade can only open one shop, so our seventh team quit. When Shi Fu told me about it, he also said it was a pity that it didn't work out. I was relieved: "Never mind, I appreciate your kindness. To be honest, I really don't want to do this job. "
Captain Shi Fu, like his predecessors, not only takes grain as the key link, but also runs a sideline. Arrange labor to hook rosin, cut pitchwood sleepers, grow poria cocos and sell Atractylodes macrocephala every year, thus maintaining a labor division of 60 to 70 cents a day. Among all the production teams in the whole brigade, our seventh team has always been the highest. At that time, it was common for newspapers to criticize "dividing, contracting and bidding", but our production team did not divide (dividing fields to households), but there was nothing wrong with "contracting" and "bidding" There is no "guaranteed production to households", but the forest harvesting rosin of the contracted production team has been continuous year after year; "Biao" is celebrated in July and Spring Festival every year. The pigs and cattle of the production team were slaughtered and divided into pork and beef. Except one or two kilograms per person, the rest are solved by "standards". Divide the pork and beef into eight parts and ten parts, starting at one or two yuan each, and then bid three yuan, three and a half yuan, four yuan, four and a half yuan ... until no one raises the price again, much like today's auction. As for productive labor, our seventh team has always maintained the tradition of division of labor by piece. All plowing and harrowing fields, cutting rice, transplanting rice, shoveling ridges, transporting firewood, laying bricks, burning kilns and even scraping Camellia oleifera mountains are scored according to area and quantity. In the spring of that year, our team also had two incidents of "falsely reporting the number of seedlings". Over the years, our team has been used to calculating work points by the number of seedlings. One day, in a high cave, a young man in the team put a bunch of seedlings into his seedling pot, and then reported to the 12-year-old boy who issued the seedling ticket: "This pot is 40 sticks." The little boy was alert, looked around, glanced around and became suspicious. He said, "It's not like 40 knots." The young man refused to accept it and said, "It must be enough for 40. I still lie to you? " The little boy was more realistic and called two adults to help him judge. The adult said, "I don't know if it's enough. Just concentrate." While counting in public, the little boy immediately poured out the seedlings and put them back in the seedling pot. If it's only 3 1, it's nine less! Now, the young man's face will turn red and white, so he has to admit that "he does lie more." Coincidentally, the next day, another event happened in another stadium. One night a few days later, at a team meeting, Shi Fu asked them to make a review and severely criticized their "selfishness". But Shi Fu did not make a mountain out of a molehill, nor did he report it to the brigade and commune as a typical criticism.
This year 10, I was taken out by the county to engage in the route education campaign, and at the end of the second year, I became the captain again. Shi Fu came down and heard that he would never be a team or village cadre again. In December 1978, I went to Tang Fu Commune for a meeting. As soon as the director of the sports office of the county party Committee heard that I was from Tangcun No.7 team, he said, "Oh, your team has done a good job, and the grain output has increased greatly this year." Our production team is famous now? Does the county know? I thought, "In fact, these years have been quite good, but you just don't know it."
Two or three years later, the production team disintegrated and Xing Angli was "dismissed".
