Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Wu Haiwang said: "Ginseng planting won't pay off quickly. Now it seems that brewing wine is the fastest way to make money. But I'm worried that if we start doing it here, will the commune take advantage of us just like making sugar?"

Tian Dazhuang said: "The last time I went to the commune for a meeting, I heard that Ge Yunfei and Dai Aimin were going to be transferred."

Gao Junsong and Wu Haiwang looked at Tian Dazhuang at the same time. Gao Junsong asked, "Who told you this news?!"

Tian Dazhuang replied: "Hong Yongjun said so. He said Dai Aimin was transferred to the county to be in charge of the work of educated youth. Ge Yunfei was transferred to a county under Gansu Province to serve as deputy county chief. I don't know what specific work he was in charge of."

Wu Haiwang said: "Over the years, the two of them have played the good cop and the bad cop in our commune, doing a lot of good things and a lot of bad things. This time they are both transferred away, which is actually a good thing for us. At least we don't have to be so nervous when doing some things."

The next morning, Gao Junsong rode his bicycle straight to the town. When he arrived at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Gao Junsong had just parked his bicycle when Meng Yongsheng appeared beside Gao Junsong, patted Gao Junsong on the shoulder, and asked, "What brings you here today?!"

Gao Junsong said: "I need your help with something."

"Let's go! Let's talk in my office!" After saying that, Meng Yongsheng took Gao Junsong into the supply and marketing cooperative.

When they arrived at the office, Meng Yongsheng asked Gao Junsong to sit down and asked, "Tell me! What can I help you with?!"

Gao Junsong said: "I want you to help me get some ginseng seeds."

Meng Yongsheng asked: "Your team is planning to grow ginseng?!"

Gao Junsong replied: "I have this idea. But it's hard to get seeds. That's why I came to you for help. In addition, our brigade has set up a winemaking workshop. When the first batch of wine comes out, I will treat you to a drink."

Meng Yongsheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why did your team think of opening a wine-making workshop?!"

Gao Junsong said: "We are forced by the commune! The sugar-making workshop is about to close down due to the shortage of raw materials. We have to find another way out! We can't just hang ourselves on the same tree, right?!"

Meng Yongsheng asked, "Is it your Yan Zhiqing who came up with this idea again?!"

Gao Junsong did not deny it, but nodded and asked, "Why?! Is it not possible?!"

"Sure! If the wine you brew is good, our supply and marketing cooperative can help you sell it." Meng Yongsheng took the cigarette Gao Junsong handed over, took a look, and said, "Old Gao, not bad! It's mixed with Peony."

Gao Junsong said, "I also benefited from Yan Zhiqing's kindness. His wife gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. This is the wedding cigarette he gave me."

"Oh! Boy-girl twins are rare!" Meng Yongsheng echoed, saying, "I'll help you find a way to deal with the ginseng seeds. But why do I feel like this is a little unreliable?!"

Gao Junsong said, "Don't worry! I never fight a battle without confidence. If I wasn't absolutely sure, I wouldn't come to you. When the ginseng is grown, I'll let you eat it like a carrot."

"You want to kill me?!" Meng Yongsheng replied with a smile, took out a match and lit a cigarette. Gao Junsong took the light and also lit a cigarette, and asked: "I heard that Ge Yunfei and Dai Aimin are going to be transferred?!"

Meng Yongsheng nodded and replied, "Yes! The transfer order has come down. I will probably leave in the next two days. The new president and the bookmaker are both our acquaintances."

Gao Junsong asked: "Who is it?!"

Meng Yongsheng replied: "The new bookmaker is your old squad leader Lu Xingchuan. The president is your old partner Du Fan."

Gao Junsong was stunned for a moment and asked, "How did you get these two here?!"

Meng Yongsheng said: "I heard that Lu Xingchuan and Du Fan had finished their investigation before the Chinese New Year and were confirmed to have no problems. But their original positions were already filled. Ge Yunfei and Dai Aimin happened to be transferred, so they were brought in."

Gao Junsong said: "Dai Aimin was going to retire, wasn't he?!"

Meng Yongsheng replied, "Originally he was supposed to retire. But something happened to the person in charge of the educated youth work in the county. The county was short of people, so he was asked to take over for a while."

"I understand!" Gao Junsong replied, "Then I'll go first! Don't forget about the seeds!"

"Don't worry! I won't forget it!" After sending Gao Junsong out of the office, Meng Yongsheng couldn't help but smile bitterly and muttered, "This Gao Junsong is really a troublemaker."

1976 was destined to be an extraordinary year. This year brought too much pain to everyone. But after the pain, this year also gave everyone new hope.

At the end of November 1976, five jeeps drove into the Qingshan Brigade. Gao Junsong, who was staying at home for the winter, heard the sound of the car horn and ran out of his house. A young man in military uniform got off the car. Gao Junsong immediately ran over and asked, "Comrade, I am Gao Junsong, the captain of the Qingshan Brigade. What can I do for you?!"

At this time, Tian Dazhuang also ran over. The young man replied: "Captain Gao, I want to ask, do you have Ding Huawei, Luo Dajun, Jiang Bi Da, Cheng Feng and Han Hu in your team?!"

Gao Junsong replied, "Yes!" Then he asked, "What's the matter?!"

The young man asked, "Can you take me to find them?!"

Gao Junsong and Tian Dazhuang looked at each other and said, "Come with me!"

The young man nodded, and took two people with him to follow Gao Junsong and Tian Dazhuang to the cowshed. When they walked outside the cowshed, Yan Jiekuang just came out of the cowshed. Yan Jiekuang was slightly stunned when he saw Gao Junsong, Tian Dazhuang and the three soldiers suddenly appearing in front of him.

Gao Junsong asked: "Xiao Yan, are Lao Ding and the others in there?!"

Ding Huawei heard the noise and came out of the house and asked, "Captain, what's the matter?!"

Gao Junsong said, "Old Ding, the troops are looking for you."

The young man walked up to Ding Huawei and saluted. Ding Huawei instinctively returned the salute and said, "I'm Ding Huawei, what can I do for you?!"

At this time, Luo Dajun and others heard the noise and came out of the house.

The young man said, "Comrade Ding Huawei, my name is Zhang Junbo. After review by higher authorities, you have been rehabilitated. I have been ordered to take you back. Please pack your things," then the young man opened his briefcase, took out the documents and handed them to Ding Huawei.

Ding Huawei took the document and quickly scanned the contents. He burst into tears of joy and said, "Lao Luo! We have all been vindicated!"

Luo Dajun and others were dumbfounded when they heard Ding Huawei's words. They were all looking forward to this day. But when this day really came, they didn't know how to face it. After a long while, Luo Dajun and others came back to their senses.

Cheng Feng shouted, "Old lady, pack up your things! Let's go!"

"Hey!" Rong Xijuan responded and went back to the house. The others followed and went back to their own rooms. About half an hour later, Ding Huawei called Yan Jiekuang into the house and gave him all the things they couldn't take away. Then Ding Huawei told Yan Jiekuang to wait here. They would find a way to get him back when they returned.

After sending Ding Huawei and the others away, Gao Junsong looked at Yan Jiekuang and asked, "Xiao Yan, when will you return to Sijiu City to visit your relatives?!"
