Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

After Director Ma finished speaking, he did not stay long and quickly returned to his office.

After Director Ma left, everyone immediately started talking.

"The institute has taken the wrong medicine this time. They are forcing everyone to participate in the event. In the past, everyone signed up voluntarily."

As soon as Director Ma left, Sister Zhao took the lead in complaining.

"Yeah, I even lost my voice from shouting at events a few years ago." Brother Li followed Sister Zhao and complained.

"You didn't say anything, so I thought you wanted to participate and actively seek progress."

Sister Zhao heard Brother Li's complaints and started teasing him.

At this time, Cai Quanwu was thinking about this matter carefully in his mind. After thinking for a while, he really had no impression of celebrating May Day.

He remembered some major events, such as the Great Steel Production Campaign, the Elimination of the Four Pests, the establishment of people's communes, etc. However, he had no memory of parades celebrating May Day.

He knew some small things through some period literature, but he could not remember any novel that had written about them.

So he also had no idea what was going on.

Just when Cai Quan was thinking, Master Chen smiled, pointed upwards, and said in a low voice mysteriously:

"You guys are still too young."

"This is obviously organized by the top leaders. Those people will probably participate as well. In order to show off in front of them, the leaders of each unit have to actively perform."

"Our food system is still doing well, but I guess some units will come out in full force."

Master Chen is old and experienced, and he can probably guess the intentions of his superiors.

Cai Quanwu was reminded by Master Chen and thought that things might really be as Master Chen thought.

At this time, the leaders are having fun together with the people, and it really is like that.

Ordinary people can really see their leaders, but they are just a little far away.

It’s not like in later generations, when leaders come for inspection or organize activities, their subordinates first drive the common people away and find a group of civil servants to play the role of common people.

It is a dream for ordinary people to want to meet the leader.

The people were filled with complaints and suffered terribly.

"Really? All those people will participate?" Sister Zhao stopped complaining and showed a look of surprise.

It has to be said that at that time, the status of those people in people's minds was truly unparalleled.

Sister Zhao looked excited, and one could tell at a glance that she was a fan of those people.

"With such a big fuss, it should be almost certain." Cai Quanwu came to his senses and interjected.

He did a rough calculation in his mind and found that it would be the same as the food system, requiring hundreds of thousands of people to participate.

Most people don't have that much face, only a few of them have such appeal.

"So I told you young people to show your faces, but you were not happy just now. You are really ungrateful."

Master Chen looked down on everyone and felt that they had wronged him.

"I don't believe you, I'm leaving."

Cai Quanwu cursed with a smile, then said goodbye and left.

"Okay, stop guessing and go to the counter."

As soon as Cai Quanwu left, no one was interested in discussing the matter. At Sister Zhao's instruction, they returned to the counter and started working.

……

Time flies and it is May Day.

After having breakfast, Cai Quanwu dressed neatly and rode his bike to the institute early to meet up with everyone.

Unexpectedly, he was early, but others were even earlier.

When he arrived, everyone was already there.

"Quanwu, over here." As soon as Cai Quanwu arrived, Director Ma called him over to gather.

When I walked over, I saw that everyone was dressed neatly and standing in the crowd, whispering and chatting with each other, waiting to set off.

This group of people should all be employees of the grain stores under the jurisdiction of the institute.

Director Ma was currently sitting in a circle with a few leaders-looking people, chatting together. They should all be the directors of various grain stores.

Without disturbing Director Ma, Cai Quanwu walked over to Xiao Wu and the others and asked in a low voice.

"Have you been notified when to leave?"

"I don't know, just wait for notification."

Sister Zhao said indifferently that since everyone was here, it was not up to them to decide other matters, so they should just follow the group.

After waiting for a while, a leader came over to speak, and Director Ma and others who had just been chatting together separated and returned to their respective teams.

"Everyone, pay attention. Pay attention."

"Let me just say a few words here."

"Everyone will follow the team from the station to the bureau. On the way, you must maintain discipline, don't talk loudly, and don't look around."

"After we get to the bureau and meet up with the main force, we'll all set off together to TAM Square. Do you know?"

Director Chu held a loudspeaker and gave a brief account of the general situation.

"understood."

After Director Chu finished speaking, everyone agreed loudly.

"Okay, let's go."

Following Director Chu's order to set off, a young man in the institute held up a banner and walked out first.

Following closely behind were some leaders and employees of the institute, and then the employees of various grain stores.

Cai Quanwu walked in the team and looked around. There were at least several hundred people in the team.

Is there enough space in the Grain Bureau of this city to accommodate so many people?

As expected, the team did not go to the Grain Bureau in the end, but went to a nearby grain bureau warehouse and grain drying ground.

When Cai Quanwu and his team arrived, the entire threshing ground was filled with employees from various grain systems.

Once all the teams were present, someone quickly came out to call out the names of the teams.

After confirming that all units were present, the large force was divided into several rows and moved in an orderly manner towards TAM Square.

Not long after setting off, Cai Quanwu saw many teams holding up their unit flags, shouting loud slogans, and gathering from all directions.

Cai Quanwu looked at the crowds shouting slogans and rushing in from all directions, and he was filled with admiration.

Ordinary people's high spirits can only be seen in this era.

Although they don't eat well or wear poorly, they have true spiritual beliefs.

It’s nothing like the later generations, where faith has collapsed, morality has declined, and everything is about money.

Various bizarre events refresh people's three views.

For example, if you want to prove that your father is your father, you need to get hundreds of stamps to get something done, etc.

It was so difficult to get in, so embarrassing, and so difficult to get things done.

There are also various weird remarks being widely spread in society.

For example, why would you help someone if you didn't hit him? Why would you fight back if he hit you?

As a result, people are afraid to do good things and dare not stand up for injustice.

why?

Because I can’t afford to pay!

The end result is that everyone becomes numb and selfish.

Before Cai Quanwu could finish his sigh, the team had already arrived at the designated location and was waiting for the parade to begin.

At this time, Cai Quanwu looked over again and suddenly recalled a classic line from a sketch in later generations.

The scene was huge, with huge crowds of people, red flags waving, gongs and drums beating, and firecrackers blasting.

Now that Cai Quanwu is in the middle of it, he finally understands what a sea of ​​people means.

The line of people participating in the celebration was so long that it was endless.

After waiting for a while, Cai Quanwu vaguely heard a voice coming from the radio...

It wasn't long before the celebration officially began and the crowd began to move slowly.

Cai Quanwu followed the crowd and moved slowly forward. When passing by TAM Square, everyone shouted in unison.
