Chapter 53 Copy Inspection
The "movement" is in full swing, and the whole society is going crazy together. Schools have stopped classes, factories have stopped work, and public security, procuratorial and courts have been smashed...
All of this made Hong Lucheng feel scared from the bottom of his heart. As far as he knew, there were already many families like them outside, who had their families destroyed because of saying something wrong.
But on the contrary, Hong Yanwu was not afraid at all. He still went out to make trouble every day without paying attention to the past and backwards, never going home until dark. Moreover, because there was more excitement to watch and it was not involved in him, the kid only found it fun and gloating.
Hong Lucheng was really afraid that this ignorant son would go out and break the sky. After discussing with his wife, he locked Hong Yanwu at home again. But the nickname "The thief in the hometown" was not a waste of time. He was able to cross the blockade line by climbing over the wall and making up lies.
Beating doesn't work, scolding doesn't work, and even chaining can't lock up his son. Hong Lucheng is increasingly worried that the Hong family will suffer bad luck at any time, so he can't eat or sleep because of this. In a state of worry, he almost forgot how to laugh, and the expression on his face will always solidify into sadness.
Facts prove that Hong Lucheng's concerns are not overly worried. When the storm of this "movement" swept everything, nothing can be compared with the danger of a family rebelling. The disaster caused by Hong Yanwu's fuse soon exploded like an explosive pack.
It was a hot evening and the sky was cloudy. In the main hall of the Hong family, except for Hong Yanwu who had no idea where he went, the whole family stood in front of the leader and sang "The Helmsman on the Sailing Sea" loudly. This is their daily homework. After singing, they can have supper.
However, at this moment, a chaotic footsteps sounded in the yard. Then, more than a dozen people wearing red sleeves, armed belts and pickaxes broke into the Hong family without saying a word. After entering the door, they smashed them casually and searched. With the fear of the Hong family and the sound of the cracks in the house decorations, a table of freshly prepared supper and broken plates and bowls were thrown into the yard.
When the neighbors in the yard came to ask about it, the group of people pushed the dejected Hong Yanwu in from outside the yard. After hearing the origin of the incident, everyone was surprised to learn that the disaster that the Hong family encountered today actually popped up from Hong Yanwu's mouth.
During this period, the social house search activities have basically come to an end. What is popular is the struggle for power and profit among various groups and how to increase the authority of their own groups. Therefore, in order to compare the achievements, the established groups held various house search materials exhibitions. Hong Yanwu, who had not had time to get idle for a day, went to Nancherry Garden to stroll around today, and even followed the crowd and squeezed into the exhibition venue of Baizhifang Street Office.
In fact, if he followed him and saw it carefully, nothing would happen, but this Master Hong San only liked to get in and out of the way of jumping around. Therefore, because he almost knocked down a general can, he was scolded by the staff at the venue.
It's nothing to say. It would be fine if he had to be honest and admit his mistake. However, this kid was so angry that he was not convinced and said that his porcelain jars were all set in pairs and were twice as big as this broken thing. If they were smashed, they would be compensated. As a result, just like this, they were targeted by the head of the venue.
The rest is very simple. People in this era are not as revolutionary as possible. Even Hong Yanwu himself was full of red thoughts. When the leader pulled Hong Yanwu behind, he used the armed strap and told the revolutionary principle of breaking the "Four Olds" and starting from himself. After giving some encouragement and drawing a clear line with the family, he took out the bottom of the Hong family from his mouth without any effort.
In fact, Hong Yanwu also said that the Hong family had been scouted three times by different groups. However, this boss was a slut before liberation and had seen the family of a real wealthy family. When he heard that he was the owner of Yanmeilou, he still thought that the Hong family might have hidden treasures. He felt that if he wanted to pick out some hidden treasures, he might be able to suppress other groups. So, out of this idea of making a spoil with no dates, the boss immediately gathered his troops and launched a surprise operation.
Don’t say, it’s really right to think about it. As the Hong family was confiscated and inspected, another “four old” of “secretary and capital repair” was found.
What is that?
That was the dowry left by Wang Yunlin's mother, a green square used to comb the flag head in the old days.
The flat square is a hairpin inserted between the hair and the satin board. One finger is wide, seven or eight inches long, and the two ends are round, flat and smooth. In terms of material, the flat square includes wood, bones, silver, and gold. The flat piece found is really unique, crystal clear, warm and cute, and the whole body is flawless jade. You can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary thing.
This thing has been wrapped in yellow silk and tied to the beam of the Hong family's northern house. In addition to Hong Lucheng, even Wang Yunlin thought that this beloved thing had been dealt with by her husband. You should know that the old antiques and calligraphy and paintings in the Hong family had not left many of the long-term livelihood subsidies, and the previous three inspections wiped out everything cleanly and thoroughly. However, Hong Lucheng saved this thing alone, which shows how far-reaching his mind was. This was preserved by him at the risk for Wang Yunlin, which shows that his wife's position in his heart was irreplaceable.
It was a coincidence that the head of the house search was Mao Yuanfang, the newly appointed director of the Furuli Residents' Revolutionary Committee. So, with the support of Director Mao who arrived later, in order to find the jadeite square, the Civil Affairs Commission and the rebel group of the street office held a house search struggle meeting, which fought Hong Lucheng very badly and beaten very miserably.
The struggle venue was set in front of the Hong family, and there were only old neighbors in the East Courtyard. At the struggle meeting, the Bai Fang was placed on a stool and showed it to the public. The group forced Hong Lucheng to eat the filthy dinner on the ground in front of everyone. Hong Lucheng was reluctant to eat just one bite, so someone twisted his arms, grabbed his hair, and raised his face, forcing the dirty rice into his mouth like feeding medicine to a child. Hong Lucheng begged for mercy loudly and slapped his head in the mouth. After a few seconds, Hong Lucheng's mouth and nose were bleeding.
The neighbors all lowered their heads. The Hong family and everyone had been together for more than ten years. Because of the Hong family's humbleness and humility, they had never made any complaints, so even Lao Ding, who was used to being at the same time, did not take any harm to Hong Lucheng. In particular, the old wife was also the deputy director of the Ethnic Affairs Commission, and at this time she kept begging for the Hong family.
However, one thing you should know is that Mao Yuanfang is actually doing the job that he was supposed to be assigned to his wife. The reason why she was able to become this "official" was not only because she was born in poverty and had been a child bride. It was also because she was very polite and talked about big principles one by one. After taking office, Mao Yuanfang was the most obvious feature of being a big shot. Not only did she have no one in her eyes, but she often used her rights to retaliate against those who offended her because of some minor frictions and small grievances, which made her very poor popularity. So, she got the nickname of "stinky cottage" in the mouths of the residents.
Having said that, since Mao Yuanfang came to power like this and was so personal, it was reasonable for her to always beware of the old Bian's wife using the mass base to usurp the throne and seize power. Therefore, at this time, this "stinky cottage" not only did not give any face at all, but also used the class position to exaggerate and took the opportunity to criticize the old Bian's wife.
Seeing that even Deputy Director Bian was sniffed, no one dared to object? So these outsiders naturally used their vengeance more unscrupulously. This group of people had probably become professionals in beating people. They kicked Hong Lucheng's waist, which made him incontinent. He was lying on the ground, and he was lying down as big as beans, rolling down his sweat beads as big as beans, and kept sucking in the air.
This scene was unexpected as Hong Yanwu, who sold his father, had been hiding in the west wing of the Bian family. He was so scared that he cried. He didn't dare to watch his father being beaten, but he was also worried about his father. So he begged his son Daqing, the Bian family, to run out and tell him the situation outside. The old Bian's wife noticed Daqing, who was busy, and scolded his son and said he was ignorant. Then she pulled Hong Yanwu, who was regretful and wanted to die from behind the door. She said to him, "Even if the sky falls and the earth falls, you have to follow his father. This is the duty of his son. Hiding behind the door and not daring to go out is more hateful than trapping his father in water and fire, and it is even more unforgivable."
Amidst the slogans, Hong Lucheng's wife was also pushed to the center and was ordered to sew the yellow silk wrapped in a square behind Hong Lucheng. A big word "Shen" was drawn on the silk, meaning one of the "Ghosts". Someone suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, so he ran over and added the word "Snake" to the "God". In this way, the silk became lively like a ghost-painted talisman.
Wang Yunlin held back her tears and shivered. She threaded a needle on Hong Lucheng's back. She probably felt miserable and was afraid of pricking her husband's flesh. Her head was shaking helplessly. She couldn't sew a few needles for a long time. The copper-headed belt was swung down with a whistle, and Wang Yunlin's arm was suddenly covered with scars.
Hong Lucheng could no longer support him, collapsed to the ground, letting him kick and no longer respond, and he didn't even hum. Wang Yunlin threw herself on her husband, blocked the whip like rain with her body, raised her face and begged around, "Keep people behind her!"
When Hong Yanwu saw his mother being beaten up, he finally ran out from behind the door of the Bian family. He squeezed to the front regardless of everything and hugged Tou with his thin body begging for mercy. However, Tou was angry by this action. He cursed and "get out" and threw Hong Yanwu on the ground in a few strokes. However, Hong Yanwu took it out and continued to stop it. As a result, Tou was not careful and was bitten by Hong Yanwu. In a rage, Tou pulled the armed strap down with all his strength.
Wang Yunlin struggled, hugged Hong Yanwu, and used her own body to protect her son without hesitation. At this time, Hong Lucheng, who was lying on the ground, suddenly had the strength for some reason, and stood up staggeringly, stretched out his hand in front of his wife and children with great difficulty. His face was no longer filled with fear, but he looked calm.
This scene undoubtedly had a decisive tragic color, and at the same time stimulated Hong Yanzheng and the Hong Yanwen brothers, which made them unable to help but break over and use their bodies to cover their beating parents and relatives. Even Hong Yanru, who was only four years old and so scared that she didn't dare to look at it, was also crying her face and shouting her mother to run into the crowd, trying to help her mother, who was covered in wounds, get up from the ground.
But the hitter ignored it. They had no sympathy and simply surrounded them and beat the whole family together.
The neighbors of the East Courtyard really couldn't see it anymore. They could no longer remain silent and shouted to dissuade them. God seemed to be compassionate. With a lightning, a dull thunder sound of "boom-rumble" came from the sky, and the heavy rain was pouring in an instant.
This is a timely rainstorm!
The professional thugs who were initiated by toppings no longer have the intention to beat people, and the struggle will stop. The head of the house only carefully put Bai Fang away, and hurriedly left with Mao Yuanfang and his men, leaving only the Hong family that was smashed into ruins and the family that fell in the rain.
That day, Hong Lucheng and his wife were carried home by their neighbors. None of the family was still hungry and were injured. Finally, with the help of everyone, the Hong family barely returned to a state of being able to live in.
This time the house search can be said to be the biggest disaster that the Hong family has suffered. Not only was Hong Lucheng beaten to the point of urination and almost lost his ability to move. Moreover, even his wife and children were implicated. The pain on everyone's body was full of green and purple, and it would not fade for a long time. Therefore, Hong Lucheng had been recuperating in bed for three days, thinking about it, and his mind was full of hatred for Hong Yanwu.
Tracing the origin, this unrestrained disaster is entirely because of a sin at home. If there was no such a seedling of trouble for going out, how could the family suffer such a sudden disaster? If this child was not making trouble all day long, with the Hong family's low-key "raining the rain and closing the door deep" and his rationality of "no blessings grow beyond no disaster", no one is at home in peace of mind, disasters will never be able to enter the door.
And his daily patience, begging, and compromised lies in his daily life. It is completely useless just by this bastard who goes out and talks nonsense. This is really unreasonable. If he can no longer control this rebellious son, he might as well kill him and finally save the lives of other family members.
No wonder Hong Lucheng was so upset, but just when he was able to leave, gritted his teeth and leaned on a crutch, preparing to completely settle the accounts with the "home thief". Only then did he realize that Hong Yanwu had also started a fever due to this house search, and he had not retreated.
The stimulation this time really scared Hong Yanwu. He had nightmares for several days and kept shouting nonsense day and night. The hospital had been there, but because it was a family member of the "Black Five" category, they only prescribed some antipyretic drugs and ignored them, and it didn't work after taking them. Wang Yunlin was afraid that Hong Lucheng would be anxious, so she never dared to tell him about her son's fever. She just tried her best to use physical methods to reduce the fever. However, whether it was wet towels or medical alcohol, the effect was not good.
When he saw his half-unconscious son look withered, his mouth full of burnt, and his father-in-law crying at his parents, Hong Lucheng, who was full of anger, felt soft again. It was the first time he saw his son's pitiful appearance, and for the first time he felt like a father-son was connected.
Yes, this kid is not a thing, but he is also his son. He hugged this kid on his knees, kissed this kid, carried this kid on his shoulders, and stabbed this kid with his beard. Therefore, he had to wipe his butt and shelter him from the wind and rain. Who made him think he was my son? Besides, when he saw that his wife had no choice but to feel sad and cry, how could he bear to show his grudges in his heart? Alas, the most important thing is to save his son's life.
Hong Lucheng made up his mind and limped out of the door with a crutch. It was not until the evening that he returned home and then asked his eldest son to follow him to send Hong Yanwu to the hospital for a reflux. Afterwards, Wang Yunlin saw that his face turned pale and asked carefully, he found out that Hong Lucheng had been waiting in the hospital, and he was given a chance to seek medical treatment by transfusions to a person who was seriously injured in the fight.
The mother and son are connected to each other, and the husband and wife are connected to each other. An indescribable sourness surged up, and Wang Yunlin couldn't help but shed tears again.
