The village is more than ten kilometers west of Taicheng. The next day, the sky was overcast. Knowing that I was stupid, I made up my mind to go hiking early. With a worthless search trip, perhaps because of some writing complex buried in the depths of my soul for a long time, I began to read the History of Song Dynasty from Gengzi, Zaojiaolin, Yangzhou and Liu Qi (Funan Sanli). The word "Gleditsia sinensis" comes to mind repeatedly, and I can't help thinking of those Gleditsia sinensis trees with huge crowns and clusters of bright green pods hanging in the sun on the mound of Nancha 'an by the Taitung River in my hometown. Although childhood friends don't appreciate this when chatting, there are only willow trees with strange looks on the mound in the distance, and the dam under the outline of the pier is often covered with faint smoke and rain. Some people stubbornly walk in their own world all their lives.
The roads leading to Gleditsia sinensis are straight and straight tractor roads. In less than an hour, this remote village in the hinterland of Wulie Town appeared in front of my eyes with her reserved attitude.
Most of the buildings in the village are small buildings and bungalows in the 1970s and 1980s, and some of them have been renovated, with polished tiles and stainless steel window grating security doors. Just like the concrete floor extending everywhere, these fresh blood remind me from time to time that the village is not far from the outside world. In the silent air, the mussel river surges in the village. A tall and steep long and narrow arch bridge spans the bend of the river. Under the north bridge embankment, there is a small quadrangular threshing floor. A very energetic blue brick hall is looking at a stranger who suddenly appeared in the middle of the building.
The front of the Great Hall is a three-story gatehouse with multiple windows, which is about 10 m high and 15 m wide, and the hall is about 40 m long from north to south. The guardrail on the top floor is marked with "consent hall", and the statue in the middle is like a huge round medal, engraved with light and shining. There are balconies on the second and third floors of the gatehouse, the surface of which is decorated with green broken glass and dyed sand, and the cement guardrail is hollowed out with a double diamond pattern. The side window of the balcony door on the second floor is quite characteristic, high and narrow, decorated with cement and staggered with ice seams. In front of the gate on the ground floor, there are two thick concrete pillars supporting the balcony on the second floor. Although wheat straw is piled up in front of the gate, from the side lattice window, the hall is spacious and the roof slope is basically intact except for some linoleum tiles that are damaged and exposed. Compared with the rural halls I saw in the same period, such as Xuzhuang, Wenhua, Hengmu, Shuangchao, Wang Si, Jiaojiazhuang and other rural halls at home and abroad, the scale of such buildings seems to be unique in terms of area, height, material and decoration characteristics of that era, even compared with the famous Shiyan Town Hall. There are only two possibilities for a remote brigade to have such magnificent handwriting: the generosity of leading members; The financial position of the rural sector is good. In fact, the following interview also confirmed the author's guess. There is a small department store with a sense of the times next to it, and the elderly hostess is also looking at me curiously. There are three or four cement slurry hanging boats on the shore of He Lin Wharf. The iron sheet on the stern canopy gradually rusted, and the cabin was empty, which seemed to have been abandoned for many years. To the west of Pyeongchang, there is a ditch in the village, and a blue brick temple stands on the bay where the Bangyan River meets. Inside and outside the wall of Taiping Mountain, there are lush trees. Standing on the Jiagou Banqiao Bridge, overlooking the bluestone forehead at the main entrance, it is engraved with "Fuxing Temple" and covered with golden gold mud. The ancient temple is particularly serene and quiet in the cold river wind. The villagers who pass by occasionally all smile strangely, but they have their own advantages, and they are unconsciously infected by the ancient style of this small village.
Branches hung with bar-shaped Gleditsia sinensis fruit pass through the courtyard wall, and silk ribbons in summer are fragrant with herbs. In addition to the stone front of the gate, the temple gate is inlaid with a brick carving on the left and right, and the picture is full of grinding, to the effect that Taoyuan is a stage for three marriages and thousands of miles of riding alone. The temple is divided into north and south halls and west rooms. The main hall is dedicated to Sakyamuni, the south hall is dedicated to Guanyin, and the west hall is dedicated to the portrait of Mao Zedong Zhou Enlai Zhu Dewei. According to the 82-year-old uncle Zhang in the village, "The temple is an old temple. Initially, Gleditsia sinensis grew in the southeast corner of this temple. It is 400-500 years old and its head is 20 meters high. A person can't hold it, and the acacia node on it is a sickle. In addition, there is an old ginkgo tree in the yard, which blocks the sun. When I was a child, I liked to run to the shade in summer to enjoy the cool. I can see these two big trees from the village. It was all cut down in about 50 years. Now there is a locust tree in the east and west corners of the yard, which is hermaphrodite. The tree in the east doesn't bear much fruit, and the ginkgo tree planted behind the west wing has been planted for nearly ten years. The old locust tree may have been planted by the ancestors of this village generation. "
"Hanging the portrait of the chairman in the west wing is the collective proposition of the villagers when the temple is restored." Xia Honggen, the 82-year-old former director of Gleditsia sinensis, explained: "As the saying goes, the people lead the people and the people love the people. It is also a yearning to invite the chairman to the temple on holidays and be worshipped by the masses. " "You said that the Great Hall and the bridge were built by Jiang Qing when he was the party branch secretary. How many years have passed? From the day he became the branch secretary, we have been optimistic about him, being the team leader and the village party secretary, and gradually becoming the leader of Gleditsia sinensis. " "He is an honest official. Later, he offended the township leaders, was dismissed, and was treated unfairly. " "Since the construction of the Great Hall and the Bridge, there has been no development. If he is still a branch secretary, our village will not be like this. " Liu Daniang, who is now here, also inserted a sentence: "I remember that one year, the county organized cadres to visit Liang Duofu 'an. In order to save money, Secretary Jiang came back 200 miles by bike. They collapsed on the haystack by the roadside and people laughed at them. "As more and more villagers gathered around, everyone talked about the past, or in the form of jingles, reflecting the twists and turns of the times in this isolated land since liberation:
Huang, acting secretary of the township party committee, can't help but speak out and tear down the temple.
The second generation secretary of the township, Han * *, has a compass in his hand.
Xu * *, the third generation party branch secretary, has a hard time producing grain and oil.
The fourth generation branch secretary is called Jiang Qing, and the hall bridge is clear.
……
Once again, I turned my attention to the "Agreed Bridge" across the Bangyan River. It is a reinforced concrete arch bridge with a length of 60m, a clear width of 3m, three holes and an aperture of about 19m. Completed in 198 1 year. Over the past 40 years, it has greatly facilitated the livelihood and planting production of Gleditsia sinensis growers. I have a great interest in this person who is popular with local cadres and masses. Under the enthusiastic guidance of the villagers, the author visited Comrade Jiang Qing who retired at home.
Jiang Qing, a native of Gleditsia sinensis, party member, 1945, aged 77. (The following is part of the chat. Such an interesting exchange not only enriches personal cognition, but also helps future generations of Zaojiaoshu Village to remember history. )
"Agree to this bridge, this bridge has been 40 years! There used to be a slab bridge here, which was built on the west side of 1978 Fuxing Anwanzi. Why did you build this Banqiao at that time? Mainly to facilitate members to cross the river for production. In the past, villagers had to work in the fields on the south bank of the big river, all of which were supported by small wooden boats, which was extremely inconvenient and unsafe. Group meetings and collective contributions are the money saved by ordinary people through their teeth. About 7,000 yuan was raised, and the cadres and the masses built the first concrete beam-slab bridge across the Banghe River in the history of nearby villages in the narrow part of the river. 65438+1February, 1980, the county government promulgated the Interim Provisions on the Management of Rural Bridges in Dongtai County: "Bridges and culverts on social roads in the county should mainly be built with cement or stone arches and brick arches", designed according to the standard of tractor-ploughed bridges, with a width of 3 meters and a load of 8 tons. Planes and boats from the county waterway station passed by here, informing the commune that the bridge was dangerous and requesting its demolition. At that time, I was the branch secretary of Zaojiao Village Brigade. Because people who produce and farm land have to take this bridge, there is no way out if it is demolished. I put forward my opinion on behalf of the villagers. Everyone is not opposed to tearing down the bridge, but you must rebuild a new bridge. Farmers work hard, you don't agree. Even if you take a battalion to dismantle it, our team 1000 people will save it even if they risk their lives. After many negotiations, the transportation bureau agreed to pay 40 thousand yuan for building materials, which will be constructed by cadres in our village. At that time, the total cost of this "consent bridge" was 80,000 yuan. Because we need to save money everywhere, there is no lettering on the bridge to record the age. It's been 40 years. It's not easy. The bridge construction technician belongs to Hougang Construction Company, and was found by the Transportation Bureau. Yao is an engineer and belongs to the Transportation Bureau. The on-site commander is Wang Huashan, deputy director. For nearly half a year, everyone stayed on the bridge and tried to squeeze into one place. The red flag fluttered on the construction site and it was in full swing. The new bridge is 60 meters long, with a clear width of 3 meters, a railing of 3.5 meters and an arch height of about 4 meters. This river flowing through Gleditsia sinensis is classified as a class 6 waterway, which can pass 65,438+000 tons of ships. "
Talking about the village auditorium, the old secretary went on to say, "The auditorium was built in 1980, with three floors in total, and the total cost was * * * 65,438+10,000 yuan, which was calculated by the labor brigade. The reason why this auditorium can be built in this way is mainly due to the development of team-run factories in the 1970s. In 72, I was the branch secretary of this brigade, and opened three factories on the northeast bank of this bridge, namely kiln factory, glass factory and paper factory. The collective economy was booming, which is also the reason why the brigade was able to list the construction funds in that year. However, in the process of construction, everyone knows to be careful and afraid of wasting a penny. For example, to build a great hall, we must pull herringbone wood from the county seat. As the secretary of the township party Committee of the brigade, we should set an example, get on and off the ship and take the lead. We don't need handyman. Even the punting manager has to send two people to do some work, and we have to pay for cigarettes ourselves. People were like this at that time. For the team to set up a factory, strictly implement economic accounting and publish accounts on the blackboard regularly. Personnel appointment, production, materials, financial revenue and expenditure, etc. Enterprises should regularly report to the members' congress to solicit the opinions of ordinary members, and the atmosphere of democratic management is rich, which is another reason for the vigorous development of the collective economy of Gleditsia sinensis. "
When talking about agricultural production and members' welfare, the old man said emotionally: "The soil has improved and the yield per mu has increased year by year. These are recorded in the performance table. When I was a party branch secretary, the per capita ration of villagers reached 430 Jin, and no one was allowed to eat food. At that time, there was a cooperative medical clinic in Zaojiaoshu village, equipped with qualified barefoot doctors, and villagers received injections for free. For villagers over the age of 60, the brigade will pay 4 yuan living expenses every month, and share dividends at the end of the year. Five groups of Gleditsia sinensis, more than 300 households, 1000 people. The main surnames are Jiang, Xu, Guo, Liu and Huang. The surname is Jiang's first surname, nearly 50 households. " Talking about the history of the village, the old man recalled: "This Zhuangzi has been around for four or five hundred years, and it has been passed down to my generation 14." Curious about his own personal experience and unfair experience, the old man replied, "Young man, I don't know your view on history. The sage said that a gentleman is righteous to a villain and beneficial to himself. " 1953 the lesser of the five evils, why did Mao Zedong make up his mind to kill Zhang Zishan Liu Qingshan, because the disease needs strong medicine. I am a village-level cadre of 1969. At that time, the political organization was called the Revolutionary Committee, and the village was called the revolutionary leading group of the brigade. I am the team leader, that is, the battalion chief. I used to come to schools and communes and say: The Party trains you, the masses trust you, and you have to come out to work. I don't want to come out in my heart I like teaching and educating people. But at that time, a red heart turned to the party and the revolution needed you. At the age of 25, you became the captain. 1970, go out to carry out the "one strike, three evils" campaign. He first went to the commune to build a station (Life Building Station), then went to Wanlu and Sanchao a week later, and was finally transferred to the county task force. A bunch of people went to Tainan to engage in the "one strike against three evils" movement. The deputy director of the County Revolutionary Committee led by Wang Yufang is very good and talented. Soon after, the commune called me back to be the branch secretary of the brigade. Chen Jinchun, director of the commune at that time, presided over the work of Dazhaizhai District and devoted himself to the work of the party and the collective. He is a true Marxism–Leninism native, and the masses commemorate his hard work. 1976, the four-corner bridge built in Sihe Village was named Jinchun Bridge. These events virtually taught party member at all levels how to be a person who works for the welfare of the masses. 1984, I was transferred to the commune and later served as the director of the rural labor institute. 1994, when the labor law was promulgated and implemented, I went to Yancheng to attend a labor law training class. As mentioned above, the labor law is now promulgated, requiring the vast number of laborers to become defenders and guardians of the legitimate rights and interests of workers. When an enterprise operates normally, it should pay the most basic employee pension insurance. At that time, Zhongyang Wood Company, as a joint venture, made tens of millions of profits every year, and his pension payment for employees would undoubtedly promote the implementation of the Labor Law in township enterprises and safeguard the interests of the masses. I went to Zhongyang Company, and after several exchanges of policy spirit, I calculated that there are 800 employees, and the minimum employee pension should be 570,000 yuan for 1994. The company has remitted this account to the bank, but * * Yun, secretary of the township party committee, came back from studying in Nanjing and argued with me, forcibly ordered the account to be returned and abused his power to take revenge. 1996, I was dismissed from my post. That year, I retired at the age of 52, with eight years left. I have worked for 36 years, and the length of service approved by the Personnel Bureau is 27 years. Up to now, I can only get a pension of 2000 yuan per month. In 2007, the bad guys were also investigated by the Standing Committee of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Jiangsu Province for being suspected of serious economic problems, and their power and money transactions during their five-year career seemed credible. "
For the misfortune of life, the old man only used such a trivial slang word to express his contempt for the rotten woman: "goods" (the original word of "bad guy" above), so that I always mistakenly thought that a cloud was a coquettish woman in chat.
"It is said that I work too hard. Chairman Mao said that the world is afraid of being serious, and the * * * production party pays attention to being serious. Is it wrong to be serious? "
How wide the world is and how close the trees are to heaven. Look back at the white-haired old man, who is still waving at a distance on the bridge, praying not to forget your initiative in this world! Pray for good deeds in this world!
