Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Frankly speaking, Zeng Wangcai almost forgot about the essay. He spent so much time writing it that he thought he would hear a sound in the water. But after such a long time, there was no feedback from Zhou Hongbo. He thought the manuscript had not been accepted. Finally, Zhou Hongbo found a way to solve the problem himself.

So, when he heard that the content of tonight’s meeting overlapped with his own essay, Zeng Wangcai was very surprised.

"Dad, have you read what I wrote?" Zeng Wangcai confirmed this first. He knew that his father was not very literate and his reading was difficult.

"The waste paper you left at home was collected by your mother, and I took a look out of curiosity."

"Can you understand?"

"Stinky boy, even though your father can't read much, there are still people in your family who can read."

"You mean... second brother?"

This is not right. Xiaoqiang is only in the third grade and doesn’t know all the characters. How do you two read at home?

Zeng Wangcai suddenly remembered that he had a "Xinhua Dictionary" at home. His father cared very much about his children's studies and felt that he suffered from the lack of education, so he was willing to spend money on his children's studies. After the "Xinhua Dictionary" came out the year before last, his father bought a copy when he learned about it and usually kept it at home.

A picture appeared in his mind: the old man was holding the second son and reading the draft he had written. There was a Xinhua Dictionary spread out beside them. They looked up the words they didn't know...

In this way, Zeng Wangcai was certain that what his father said was true. He knew that although his father did not care about "big things" like the other uncles, especially the second uncle Liu Haizhong, he did understand.

"What was said at the meeting? Was it written in the document sent by Aunt Zhang or was it said by the three uncles?" Zeng Wangcai asked.

This is very important. If this is what the document says, Zeng Wangcai would think that what he wrote has not only been approved, but may also have been seen by the upper echelons.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is coincidence. All novels and TV dramas have the same beginning. Any similarities are purely coincidental.

"Go listen to it yourself, why are you asking me?"

"I want to listen to it myself? So the meeting isn't over yet?"

"Liu Haizhong is in a meeting. Can we play for a while?"

Zeng Wangcai discovered that the TV dramas he watched were always incomplete, and he had not read enough novels. Everyone underestimated Liu Haizhong's obsession with being an official.

The whole institute meeting has not yet ended!

Zeng Wangcai and Zhang Xiuzhi went out to practice driving. No matter how good Zhang Xiuzhi was at hands-on skills, it took at least an hour. During this time, Liu Haizhong's sonorous but meaningless voice could be heard from the Intermediate Court.

"Well, ah, everyone knows the spirit of the meeting. On behalf of the three of us, I would like to emphasize a few points."

"First of all, we will formulate a health regulation to eliminate the four pests in our compound..."

"..."

"Finally, let me say a few more things about the spirit of the document, that we should all work together to overcome difficulties..."

This was the scene when Zeng Wangcai entered the central courtyard. There was a small table under a tree in the middle, and in the middle sat an old man named Yi Zhonghai. To the left of Yi Zhonghai was Liu Haizhong who was standing and talking, and to the right was Yan Bugui. There were three teacups on the small table.

Below, dozens of people from each household gathered together, some sitting on small stools, but more sitting on long benches.

Some of the neighbors were frowning, but no one dared to slack off. Even the chatterbox Sha Zhu didn't dare to show up at this time. One reason was that the three uncles working together would be deterrent, and the other was that the spirit of the document being studied today was more important.

The Siheyuan is in a big world, while the people in the Siheyuan are in a small world, and they all have to abide by the current rules of the world.

In fact, according to Zeng Wangcai’s daily routine in his previous life, it is only a little after nine o’clock, which is not considered late at night.

Zeng Wangcai leaned against a pillar with full energy, listening carefully to the official-speaking speeches that he used to hate the most. As he listened, he realized that everyone underestimated Liu Haizhong.

Everyone thinks that Liu Haizhong is not very capable and has no culture, but he is still trying to save face by inflating his academic qualifications, and he only wants to become an official. But it is undeniable that he is determined in his heart, has never forgotten his original intention, and has a certain learning ability, especially when it comes to speaking in official language.

Perhaps it was because of these things that he was able to seize the opportunity when Li Huaide gave him one.

However, Zeng Wangcai was more concerned about what Liu Haizhong said at this moment. He found that if the spirit of the document was really related to his essay, then Liu Haizhong's current interpretation was excessive.

Liu Haizhong's understanding is that the higher-ups are asking everyone to unite as one to overcome the difficulties, find ways to mobilize their own strengths and subjective initiative, find food and drink for themselves, such as hunting and fishing, so as to improve their lives and reduce the burden on the country.

This meaning is completely different from the main idea of ​​Zeng Wangcai's essay. The core of Zeng Wangcai's essay is that wild boars and sparrows are enemies of the people and should be resolutely eliminated, which can also solve some of the difficulties in life. But what Liu Haizhong said was completely the opposite.

This is the security issue that Zeng Wangcai is worried about. Now is not the time to exercise subjective initiative. Everyone must obey the distribution arrangements. There are plans for industry and agriculture, and everything should go according to plan.

"Second uncle, let me interrupt you for a moment. I have a question!" Zeng Wangcai couldn't help but jump out to interrupt Liu Haizhong.

"Haha, Wangcai has something to say. It seems that he understands what I said." Liu Haizhong was acting as an amiable leader on his own stage. He didn't care about Zeng Wangcai's interruption. "Tell me what you think or what you don't understand. Let's discuss it together. The three of us will give you the answers."

In previous meetings, especially those that were not serious, Liu Haizhong and his colleagues would only encounter people who were joking around, like Sha Zhu, and it was rare to meet someone who would ask for serious advice.

Zeng Wangcai said: "Second Uncle, the spirit you just mentioned, will it conflict with our core idea? You see, we can't talk about individualism..."

Zeng Wangcai raised this conflict mainly to test the waters and see whether this is what the document actually said or whether this is how Liu Haizhong interpreted it himself.

Another crucial point is that Zeng Wangcai made it clear that he did not mean that.

To be honest, Liu Haizhong had never thought about what Zeng Wangcai proposed, and even no one else had thought about it, because this document was issued by the street, and they naturally thought it was orthodox.

Liu Haizhong was stunned by the question. He picked up the document and looked at it again, confirming that there was a red stamp of the street on it.

Yi Zhonghai stood up and said, "This is not contradictory. The document issued by the street does not say that everything should be like this. We should still do it as usual."

This is equivalent to saying nothing and trying to smooth things over.

The meeting continued, but after Zeng Wangcai's question, the subsequent procedures were simplified. Perhaps it was because it was really late, Liu Haizhong ended his speech.

When it was Yan Bugui's turn, he suddenly remembered the candy incident and simply stopped talking about it and announced the end of the meeting.

Zeng Wangcai wanted to look at the file, but Liu Haizhong glared at him and said, "What file do you want to see? Do you have the authority to do that?"

"Old Liu, don't make a big deal out of it!" Yan Bugui snatched the document and handed it to Zeng Wangcai, "It's not a red-letter document. This is for everyone to learn from. See if it's okay."

Liu Haizhong didn't say anything else and just let it go.

Zeng Wangcai read the document word by word and found that the situation was much better than he thought. Liu Haizhong had indeed interpreted it. The document did not require the people to go out hunting and fishing. The most important emphasis was on unity.

This is the normal situation, otherwise it is likely to cause panic at this critical juncture.

As for the overlap between the content of the document and the essay, there is indeed some overlap, and a lot of it, especially in terms of unity and attacking the enemy, which are very similar, but Zeng Wangcai cannot judge based on this that his essay was chosen.

The reason is very simple. Those articles are almost all of the same style. The tone and wording cannot go beyond that range and they have no characteristics at all.

Zeng Wangcai felt relieved and went back to the front yard with his father Xiaohu and Xiaobao to prepare for bed and go to Yongding River early the next morning.

Yan Bugui came over with his stool and teacup: "Wangcai, Wangcai, wait a minute, have you forgotten about the candy?"
