Bai Fumei in the 70’s

The four women were causing drama. When they saw Branch Secretary Li, they began to cry endlessly, poorly and pitifully.

They accused, "Secretary Li, she is a backward person who colludes with bad people! You tell her to reassess her behavior."

"She was scaring people and threatening to go to the police!"

Branch Secretary Li grimaced and said with a bad temper, "Your men were gloriously fighting in front of the entire engineering team!"

"Go back at once and review for three days. Don't come to work until you realize your mistakes. I would rather the project progressed slower than having troublemakers like you!"

The four women felt like they were struck by thunder. Although it is very tiring to dig a ditch, they could earn a lot of work points. After a hard day, ten work points would be in hand. Where else would they get such cheap points?

They wiped their tears in surprise, the branch secretary was standing on the side of He family's second son's, they were livid.

"My man was beaten and is recovering in bed. He couldn't do any work. Now I lost this job too, how can my family survive like this?"

At this time, Li Dali had also heard the news, and he said with a black face, "What's the matter? You are still crying, how old are you?"

Li Dali's solemn voice revealed traces of anger, and the four women could only wipe their tears again. They dared not cry, but they grieved in their hearts.

Li Dali also said, "Fighting and playing tricks. This kind of gangster's demeanor is absolutely forbidden! This time your men are in the wrong, but He's second is also wrong. Both sides need to review. You should remember this lesson and try to correct it. Come back to work when you understand."

He glanced at the woman, "Don't feel resentful, or even think about building more resentment! Comrade Zhao will sue and the police will arrest people. As your production captain, I would have no face."

After this altercation plus being scolded, the four women left obediently and did not dare hold any resentment in their hearts.

The captain said that it was their men who caused the trouble, and then they also made more problems.

Li Dali simply said a few words, and immediately disciplined the people to be obedient, Zhao Lanxiang saw that he was convincing.

She said with a smile, "Thank you captain."

Li Dali responded with a deep voice, he said, "You are a young girl who is very good at controlling your temper."

He paused and continued, "Even if you go to the police, a group fight is very serious. Fighting on the construction site will throw the village's face out. So instead, the brigade will open a review and criticism meeting, He's old second and these people will have to go up and say a few words, do you have any objections?"

Although Li Dali worked hard all day long, he still had some respect for the cultural people in his heart, and he also took care the educated youth, which was rare in the village. He had no formal education, unlike the captain of the team the next village over, who had gone to college and would use technology to guide the members how to grow food scientifically, resulting in a bumper harvest every year. Li Dali was envious. He knew that he had suffered due to a lack of education, so he went to the educated youth for help. Although the educated youth were not good at farming, they had a rare enthusiasm, so Li Dali could also "arm" his first production team with innovative knowledge.

Of course Zhao Lanxiang was not happy, but the situation of punishing each side was already Li Dali's most "tolerant" compromise. She told Li Dali, "If the people who beat someone are willing to apologize, I can forget it."

Li Dali responded without thinking, "That's good."

After he finished speaking, he went with Li Hongde.

Zhao Lanxiang went to He Songbai's room to see what had happened.

Sister He was knocking his head hard and scold her brother:

"Fight, fight again."

"Who told you to fight."

"You are disobedient. Granny will be sad and dead."13

Yesterday, He Sanya tried to look for her while crying, but she couldn't find her and came back to find Zhao Lanxiang instead. This alarmed her elderly grandmother. Sister He didn't dare to let her brother go to see her grandmother. Seeing his limping, battered appearance, how sad it would be for the elderly!

Actually, Sister He didn't know why her brother fought with others, she only thought that he had made a mistake again.

He Songbai did not avoid her hits or refute what he said, he let his elder sister knock on his forehead obediently.

Zhao Lanxiang saw this unbearable sight outside the window, and ran inside to try stopping Sister He from knocking his head. But she looked at Sister He, although it seemed like she was using a lot of strength, her hand didn't really hurt him, so in the end, her lips did not move.

After Sister He had finished teaching her brother and left, Zhao Lanxiang crept into He Songbai's room.

She said, "You fell to the ground?"

He Songbai twitched his lips furiously, "Can you keep these things away?"

Zhao Lanxiang took a careful look at the man, and couldn't help but laugh. He was already thin. After adding these boards, he became more like a skinny scarecrow. His feet were like compass needles.

After she finished laughing, she also said bitterly, "Your elder sister is right, you can't fight anymore. This time the captain spoke for you, and you will go to the review meeting next week to reflect on yourself deeply."

He Songbai hummed lightly.

Zhao Lanxiang flicked his head gently with her thumb and asked, "Do you know how to write a review?"

She followed through: "I tell you, the review should overwhelm the enemy. You should be positive, and strategically euphemistic. What's wrong with your landlord background? The landlord background is still an identity that can be united and reformed.

If you do a serious review and it was accepted, the Pan family's unreasonable group beatings will be known as disturbing harmony and friendship of the collective village, destroying production and dragging socialism. If you work hard, raise your heads and stand up as a man, no one will dare to look down on you, and the people around us will dare not underestimate you."1

Let's watch him spend his days in prosperity in two years. Who dares to underestimate the He family? In two years, the landlord's shameful "hat" will be taken off...

Zhao Lanxiang said these words, He Songbai suddenly held her face, he whispered softly, "Okay, I will listen to you."2

Zhao Lanxiang suddenly blushed, and she regretted her rash and stupid lecture.

How can she just show off something so superficial in front of this "commercial predator" of the future?

She coughed a little and said: "In short... let the villagers understand that you have a sincerity for the collective good of the community, don't let them misunderstand you too much."
