Red Merry

('Xue Xiang led Xiao Wan and the three into the gate of the visiting team. Xue Xiang carried two large suitcases in his arms, and Xiao Wan carried the clothes for Xue Anyuan in his hand. When you enter the door, you will see a spacious office hall , Seven or eight desks were neatly placed against the wall, and each desk was piled with thick documents. Seven or eight staff members were immersed in writing materials, only the sound of scratching pens rubbing against the paper surface and the humming overhead. The ceiling fan whistling. On the white wall directly in front of the house, there are sixteen characters "to comfort relatives to explain their problems and help them correct their mistakes", which are obviously for the family members who come to visit.

"Come on, four of you come here!" The person who spoke was a thin middle-aged man sitting in the northwest corner, with a clean face, wearing a gray PLA cap, and a serious expression of class struggle.People who didn't know thought he was so upright and selfless, but Xue Xiang had already found out what he was.

Xue Xiang led Xiao Wan to his desk and said, "Comrade, we are here to visit our uncle Xue Anyuan."

"I know that you are here to see Comrade Xue Anyuan. The staff who brought you in just now have told me. They asked you to come here. One is to check the items you brought to see if there is nothing prohibited; , I hope you can persuade Comrade Xue Anyuan to explain the problem in a timely manner and not to engage in confrontation with the organization. This will not end well." The skinny middle-aged man said sharply.

Where did Xiao Shi ever see someone talk to him like this, his little face changed color in fright, and his small body quickly approached his elder brother, hugging his leg, and didn't let go.Xue Xiang was tired of hearing it, and put two cardboard boxes on the table of the skinny middle-aged man, and hugged Xiao Shi into his arms.Seeing his dead face, Xue Xiang felt very displeased at first, but seeing him frightening Xiao Shi now, he immediately became annoyed: "Old comrade, if you want to check things, you should check them, don't give us a lecture. class, we don’t understand your big principles, the organization doesn’t seem to ask you to interrogate your family members, does it?”

"You little comrade, what is your attitude? Why are you talking to me like this? The organization has always regarded you, the children of students' family members, as children who can be educated well, and they want to save you. But look at your current attitude, what is wrong with you?" Looks like he's being educated..." The skinny middle-aged man said sadly, but in fact, he blamed Xue Xiang for adding an old word before "comrade" in his heart.

"That's right, I've heard that Luo Zili, the head of the visiting group, and Luo Da, the group leader, love to teach people. I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it. You have knowledge." Xue Xiang complimented falsely, Before he came, Luo Papi, who had inquired about the visiting team, had better swallow the good things brought by his family with the reason that "the students are here to undergo ideological remolding, not to engage in bourgeois corruption."If you don't find a way to control him, all these good cigarettes and alcohol will be cheap, this old thing.

"How do you know that my surname is Luo? Who told you? The little comrade still has a bit of eyesight. I have been to college."

"Don't worry about whoever told me, your knowledgeable name has already been spread throughout the Forty-Nine City."

"Really? My fame is so big, why don't I know? That's right, I have been busy with revolutionary work, saving these fallen comrades, and I haven't been out for a long time. My heart has long been dedicated to the party. Not myself anymore."

Xue Xiang felt nauseated when he heard that, and the others in the office were not much better, and everyone covered their stomachs with their hands.Xue Xiangdao: "Everyone says you are a great intellectual, the most reactionary."

"You, what do you mean, you..." Luo Zili couldn't turn the corner, didn't he just praise himself?It's okay to say that I'm reactionary now.

"Don't worry, I didn't say that."

"Whoever said it first, tell me quickly, and you will be credited for exposing it."

"You are still planning to settle accounts with him, you can't afford to mess with this person."

"Don't worry about this, you just need to tell me who he is. I don't believe in this evil. There are still people who dare to slander revolutionary fighters."

"Okay, let me tell you, you look down at the clothes, it's hanging on your chest, you have the ability to settle accounts with the old man."

"You, you actually made fun of the great leader, you are so reactionary, this time I..."

"Don't let this time go, the great leader taught us that 'the more knowledge, the more reactionary', you are right, first of all, you are complacent about your knowledge, this is the fault of the superior thinking of stinky intellectuals, you You are breaking away from the masses. Secondly, you actually threatened to settle accounts with the great leader. Not only I heard it, but all the comrades present heard it. You don’t want to kill people to silence it.” Xue Xiang lured him into the trap and captured him in one fell swoop. .These days, those who dare to make fun of a great leader don’t say it, even if they have never heard of it, the leader hanging on the wall seems to have not been well preserved, and they can be convicted if they are broken.

Luo Zili fell into the trap, and was in a state of disarray for a while.I can't say that what the great leader said is wrong, can I, damn boy, use words to seduce me, now I am stuck, what should I do, I have to find a way quickly.Of the eight people in the office, four of them are my confidantes, so they should not spread the word, and the other four should be able to cover it up with some means.But the grinning bad boy in front of him is hard to deal with, he can't really kill someone, I'm not that crazy yet.Judging by his slickness, coercion is definitely not an option, so there is only temptation.

Luo Zili made up his mind and changed his smiling face. Maybe it was because the iceberg had been sealed for too long. After this thaw, his smile was uglier than crying. Xiao Shi shuddered when he saw it, and buried his little face in Xue Xiang's arms.Luo Zili smiled and said: "The little comrade is here to see Comrade Anyuan, so go in quickly, and you don't need to check your things. What's there to check? In fact, I always thought this system was very inappropriate. Who would Without parents and children, it is disrespectful to the comrades of the students to search and search when you send something. Comrade Anyuan has made great progress here, and his mental outlook is much better than before. I think this kind of request Progressive old comrades still need to give more attention to the organization and life. Let me make a statement here. Comrade Anyuan's food standards will be the same as our staff in the future. No, just wait with me. Comrade, what do you think?"

Xue Xiang didn't mean to kill them all. It would be nice to have someone to help take care of his uncle.He smiled and said, "Then thank you Uncle Luo, we can go in."

Luo Zili was relieved to see that Xue Xiang had changed his address and stopped mentioning what he had said just now. Now that Xue Xiang was about to leave, he hurriedly said, "Xiao Wang, send Comrade Xiao to Room [-], yes, the one with the sofa." , The guards at the gate were also removed, and relatives and relatives meet and always listen to what is going on." Luo Zili sent the little devil away, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and thought to himself, it's really dangerous!How did he know that the danger had just begun, because the four people he trusted most reported his remarks to his superiors at different times and places.Luo Zili was taken away and never came out again, and his throne was replaced by one of the four.

...........

With a sound of "Yiya", Xue Xiang pushed open the door of Room [-], and saw a tall, gray-haired old man standing up from the sofa at a glance.The image of the old man in front of me is exactly the appearance of my uncle in my memory, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, thick hair, square nose and wide mouth, the appearance in my memory is almost the same as in front of me, except that the original black hair has turned white a lot, and my back is still straight straight.

Xue Xiang's father, Xue Dingyuan, had a brother and a younger brother, the eldest brother Xue Anyuan, and the third brother Xue Pingyuan.Xue Anyuan was born in 1919 and joined the Red Army at the age of 16. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he was incorporated into the 229th Division. In 1939, at the age of 20, Xue Anyuan served as the commander of the 229th Division's security company. One of those generals.Xue Pingyuan was born in 1955 years. He graduated from the South China Advanced Artillery Military Command Academy at the age of 36. He is currently the head of the c regiment of the Artillery 36 Base.During the catastrophe, Xue Pingyuan was not impacted because he worked in a secret unit, so he was given a stay for inspection.

Xue Xiang and Xiaowan called uncle, Xiaoshi and Xiaoyi didn't open their mouths, Xue Xiang urged them to call someone, Xiaoyi called uncle, but the little guy hugged Xue Xiang's leg and just kept silent.The little guy thought carefully, the grandfather in front of him doesn't know him, why call him uncle.Xiaoyi was only two years old when Xue Anyuan was released, and there was such an uncle hugging him in the image, so he yelled out after a moment of hesitation.When Xiaoshi was born, although Xue Anyuan had already transferred from Jianghuai Farm to Beijiao Farm, the uncle and nephew had never even met each other.Because, Xue Xiang's parents were not long after Xue Anyuan was released, and they were also transferred from their jobs. They had no chance to bring their children to visit Xue Anyuan, so they asked Xue Xiang to bring things and visited Xue Anyuan several times.

As soon as the door was pushed open, Xue Anyuan never thought that it would be his nephews and nieces who came to see him.Xue Anyuan has been here for five or six years, except for Xue Xiang who came twice to give him clothes, no relatives have ever come.On the contrary, many of my best old subordinates and comrades in arms came here.At this time, Xue Anyuan saw several children, big and small, before he could respond, tears welled up in his eyes and old tears.Xue Anyuan was most worried about Xue Xiang and his brothers and sisters in the cadre school, and he always blamed himself.The second brother and his wife were implicated by themselves and left the factory, and they died tragically. Several children lost their parents, and they don't know how they lived these years. He suffered his own crime.

"Grandpa, why are you crying? You're ashamed. At this age, you still cry like other children. I'm only five years old. I haven't cried for a long time." The little guy burst into tears when he saw the tall grandpa in front of him. , Seeing it made me feel sad, I opened my mouth to persuade.

"Good girl, it's not grandpa, it's uncle, why are you crying? When you came in just now, I was reading a newspaper, and suddenly I saw, oh, where did the little fairy come from, so beautiful, this anxious, a corner of the newspaper Scratched my eye socket once, the eye was stabbed, of course I will cry." Xue Anyuan wiped the corner of his eye and coaxed Xiaoshi.

Xiaoshi didn't know whether he was crying for a while, anyway, he stopped crying at this time, because he succeeded in comforting himself, the little guy smiled and said: "You are so old, I am so young, why do I still call you uncle? The teacher said that it is better than myself Those who are 20 years older should be called uncle and aunt, and those who are 40 years older than me should be called grandpa and grandma. Aren’t you 40 years older than others?” The little guy couldn’t figure it out. The teacher taught me the right thing. The teacher taught me to shout, and people praised me for being polite.

Xue Anyuan was speechless for a moment when asked by the little guy, stroked his short hair, and stood there awkwardly.He can't explain to the little guy that your grandfather is my father, your father is my younger brother, and he and I are the same father, so if you want to call me uncle, the little guy must be stunned.

Seeing this, Xue Xiang quickly put the box in his arms on the coffee table in front of the sofa, hugged the little guy and said: "Little baby, the teacher taught you to call others, not relatives, right? Uncle is our relatives, you You have to call after elder brother, elder brother is called uncle, you are also called uncle, don’t you think your third brother is also called uncle? He is only three years older than you, do you want to be a generation lower than third brother?”

"I don't want it, I want to be called Uncle, Uncle, Uncle, Uncle..." When the little guy heard that he was a generation younger than the third brother who was always grabbing food with him, he was willing there, even though he didn't know what his seniority was, he was better than him. It's not good for the smelly third brother to be low, so he immediately yelled out.

Xue Anyuan hurriedly responded happily, and took the little guy from Xue Xiang's arms.
