But Chu Mei didn't know whether it was her, so she decided to test it out, but before she could speak, Deng Jun's voice rang out. "Chu Mei, there is something the organization wants me to inform you about," Deng Jun paused, and seeing that Chu Mei's place was still quiet, he continued, "This time your application to join the group was not approved." , Deng Jun paused again, as if he didn't know what to say. "I know, I met He Xin on the road and he told me," Chu Mei looked at the ceiling in the darkness and said quietly. The room suddenly became quiet, and even the sound of turning the book was gone. Chu Mei continued to ask: " Deng Jun, can you tell me what opinions the classmates have about me? " Deng Jun seemed to be hesitating, but Guo Lan sighed: "Chu Mei, I think it's better to settle things down. This is only the first semester, and there are still three years. "How did you join the group in the first place?" Hu Zhenfang asked, which also aroused Chu Mei's curiosity. How did Guo Lan join the group with such a carefree personality? "Me, to be honest, I don't know. When I was a freshman in high school, the teacher asked me if I wanted to join the Youth League. I said of course I would. The teacher asked me to write an application, so I did it. I only wrote it twice in one semester. The ideological report was not approved in the first year, and I didn¡¯t care. Anyway, I did whatever I was supposed to do, and it was approved in my second year of high school. Oh, by the way, it was also May Fourth, and I was the third member of our class.¡± Guo Lan said. It was very easy. Not only Chu Mei was surprised, but Deng Jun and Hu Zhenfang were also surprised. Deng Jun was a little surprised and asked. It turns out that Guo Lan's school is a township school, her uncle is the deputy secretary of the party committee in the town, and her grandfather Both my grandfather and I were martyrs. They participated in the revolution in their early years and died in the Mar-Japanese Incident. ¡°I didn¡¯t know about these situations before. This girl didn¡¯t fill in the information at all. Chu Mei sighed, this silly girl, with such a background, it would be easy to join the party, let alone join the league. Being interrupted by Guo Lan, Deng Jun also interrupted. Chu Mei still refused to give up. She asked again: "How many are there in our class this time?" "Two." Deng Jun's answer was very simple, and Chu Mei noticed Seeing that there was a hint of impatience and even condescension in it, she sneered in her heart and ignored it. Two, Hu Zhenfang sighed softly below. It seemed that she also knew that she was not among the two. There were more than a dozen people in the class who had submitted applications to join the group, but this time there were only two, and I am afraid it was only one of the girls. nor. Classes were suspended for rectification. The next day, the department held a morning meeting. In the afternoon, the party branch secretary and the league branch secretary attended meetings of each grade and class. League members and party members at all levels accepted their tasks and mobilized the masses to participate in the rectification movement. ? Participating in the symposium of the second class of the 60-level Exploration Department was the deputy secretary of the party branch of the department. The deputy secretary of the party branch is a senior student party member. He attended the meeting on behalf of the party branch of the department. But what disappointed the deputy secretary was that the entire meeting was deserted. No matter how mobilized He Xin, the secretary of the Youth League branch, only a few students made a few indifferent opinions, and the rest just sat there. . The deputy secretary had no choice but to say a few words to encourage everyone not to have any concerns and then announced the adjournment of the meeting. After the meeting, the deputy secretary left He Xin, Deng Jun and other league members and activists for the meeting. "From the current point of view, the rectification movement in the school is not going smoothly, and students have concerns. Under this situation, party members and league members must play a fortress fighting role, mobilize the masses, do a good job of explaining the masses' concerns, and actively participate in Come to the rectification movement." After a pause, the deputy secretary added loudly: "The superiors have already said that whether you actively move closer to the party organization and whether you are loyal to the party depends on whether you dare to help organize the rectification movement. To make suggestions to the organization and recruit party members in the future, it depends on their performance in this movement.¡± ¡°Comrades, look, in just a few years, the masses have not dared to speak. If this continues, we will be separated. The masses, our socialist cause is in danger. The superior leaders issued a call to treat this movement as a war, to use 10% of initiative and 10% of bravery to mobilize the masses! After the secretary spoke, he got up and reported to the school leaders. He Xin continued to organize the meeting. He Xin, like Deng Jun, had grassroots work experience. He quickly decided to divide the work. Each group member was responsible for several people, and they must be mobilized to speak at the next meeting. , to create a momentum. After assigning boys to the "six girls in our class", He Xin turned to Deng Jun and Guo Lan: "You are responsible for two of them each. Chu Mei and Hu Zhenfang are Deng Jun's helpers. They are responsible for Deng Jun, and other students are responsible for them." Guo Lan is responsible and hopes that everyone will work hard and come up with a new look at the next meeting. "The leader was angry. He Xin was very frightened. The tone at the meeting was extremely decisive. He pinned his hopes on Deng Jun for the girls. Guo Lan, he instinctively didn't put much hope in it. For so long after entering the school, Guo Lan had never shown any ability to work. But Deng Jun is completely different.?The ability has always been very strong. If nothing happens, Deng Jun and he will be the first batch of student party members in the department. But in the next few days, He Xin was deeply disappointed. Not to mention Deng Jun, even he couldn't get his two targets. Almost all students have deep concerns about providing opinions to party organizations, especially directly affiliated party branches. There are more and more rectification reports in newspapers. The CPPCC Central Committee, the Yanjing CPPCC, Shanghai, Tianjin, and all over the country are holding symposiums every day. At the meetings, democrats put forward more and more opinions. Shanghai's "Liberation Daily" and "Wenhui Po", Yanjing's "Yanjing Daily" and "Guangming Daily", and Nanjing's "Xinhua Daily" published many speeches about teachers and professors at the rectification symposium. These speeches deeply shocked all walks of life, and concerns became less and less. The atmosphere in the college gradually began to warm up. The 58-level Geology Department symposium on the 7th was praised by the school leaders. They put forward many opinions at the meeting. Some of the opinions are quite sharp. While encouraging students to participate in the rectification movement, the school party committee also organized school teachers to participate in the rectification movement. Many professors put forward their opinions at the meeting, many of which were quite sharp. But under the popular trend of the second class of the 60-level exploration department, the concerns among the classmates were somewhat loosened. Several male students mobilized by He Xin personally agreed to put forward opinions to the school leaders at the next meeting, but He Xin was still not satisfied. He felt that It was not enthusiastic enough, and the momentum of the movement was still not enough, so he approached Deng Jun and asked Deng Jun to do more work. He must also let female classmates speak at the meeting. Deng Jun was also very anxious. She had never encountered such a situation before. The three of them all vowed to support the rectification movement, but when it came to speaking, they all shook their heads. The reason was simply that they were not capable enough and had not studied enough. They had to continue studying anyway. Reluctant to speak. She reported the situation to He Xin and asked him for advice on how to carry out her work. She was convinced of He Xin's ordinary work ability, and He Xin helped her analyze the girls in the class. "Chu Mei and Hu Zhenfang are actively asking to join the Youth League, you should do their best," He Xin sighed: "The suspension of classes for rectification will only last for two weeks. Secretary Zhang of the department has already criticized me, Deng Jun, we are all probationary party members , The organization is considering our regularization. Secretary Zhang said that it depends on our performance in this rectification movement.¡± The meaning of the words was very clear. Deng Jun was secretly frightened. According to He Xin¡¯s instructions, she focused her work. When it comes to Chu Mei and Hu Zhenfang, they are not from very good backgrounds and are actively asking to join the league. Chu Mei, in particular, has never failed to report on her thoughts every two days. She is more active than she was back then, and she was not so. "I can do that." When Deng Jun came to do ideological work again, Chu Mei's head was still shaking like a rattle: "I still haven't figured it out yet, Sister Jun, I'll study again." Different from the soft words of her eyebrows, Hu Zhenfang lowered her head and said nothing. After Deng Jun's mouth became dry, she poured a glass of water for Deng Jun first, and then said softly: "Secretary Deng, I think the class The rectification movement in the school is going very well. How can the students be like the senior classmates after they have been in school for only half a year? " Deng Jun was helpless. She couldn't help but lose her temper in the dormitory and criticized Chu Mei and Hu Zhenfang for their opposition to the movement. Not active at all, not like the activists who were applying to join the Youth League. Chu Mei was behind Deng Jun. Hu Zhenfang was surprised to see a smile in Chu Mei's eyes, but when he noticed her gaze, the smile suddenly disappeared and turned into grievance. "Sister Military, in my opinion, the lack of active rectification in the class has something to do with the Youth League Committee," Chu Mei said. Deng Jun turned around and looked at her with some surprise and asked, "Why? How does it have anything to do with our Youth League Committee?" Apparently Deng Jun's The look on my face shows that I have done so much work and you are all avoiding me. Why should you blame us? Chu Mei solemnly said: "Chairman M said that party members should play a core role in the struggle. You and He Xin are the only probationary party members in our class, and one of you is the secretary of the league branch and the other is the secretary of the class branch. You If they are not active, how can other students get started? "Don't you think so?" Deng Jun was stunned. Hu Zhenfang frowned slightly when she heard this. She glanced at Chu Mei, but Chu Mei remained indifferent. smile. "Let me tell you, the main reason why the rectification movement in the class cannot be carried out is because of your class cadres and the Youth League Committee. You always want to get the masses to rise up, but you have forgotten that we the masses are far away from the leaders. How can we know much? Even if we are allowed to You can¡¯t make any suggestions, don¡¯t you think?¡± Chu Mei asked Deng Jun two questions in succession. Chu Mei¡¯s question was very tricky. If you say yes, the Youth League Committee should undoubtedly take the lead; if you say no, there is encouragement. The suspicion that the masses were giving random opinions was, after all, what she said about being far away from the leadership was true. What's more, Chu Mei also went out of the party's consistent style. The party has always emphasized the importance of party groups.??We must take the lead in fighting and work. During the war years, commanders and party members shouted "Comrades, follow me" and rushed into the enemy's hail of bullets. During the rectification movement, they could not become "Brothers, follow me!" Bar. Seeing that Deng Jun was being questioned, Hu Zhenfang moved her lips, but still didn't say anything. She just looked at Chu Mei deeply, her gaze made Chu Mei feel a little panicked. Deng Jun thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how to answer. When she woke up, Chu Mei was no longer in the dormitory. Hu Zhenfang picked up her schoolbag and prepared to go to the library to read. Guo Lan came in happily and announced as soon as she entered the door that she had completed the work of the other two girls. They agreed to speak at the next symposium and give advice to the school leaders. This announcement made Deng Jun even more anxious, and also made Hu Zhenfang secretly wonder how Guo Lan could do ideological work. He actually managed the work of three people at once, and the other two classmates in the class didn't even submit their application for joining the league. Both of them come from rural areas, one is a good old man, and the other is very timid. Not to mention giving advice to the leader, he can't even give advice to his classmates. "What kind of opinions do they want to give?" Hu Zhenfang asked curiously. "Wang Xinmai wants to raise the issue of conservation, and Li Guihua wants to raise the issue of social practice." Guo Lan's rapid-fire answers made Hu Zhenfang relieved. Wang Xinmai's family was born in a poor peasant family, and he and Deng Jun were both the shabbiest in the class. Student, the difference is that she is really poor. Poverty makes her extremely frugal, even stingy. She wears the same set of blue clothes all year round, and she is reluctant to use soap and washing powder to wash clothes. Li Xinghua is also from a rural area. She is from a lower-middle peasant family and her family background is slightly better. The first thing she does after school every day is to help her parents with work. It was only after the cooperative system that things got better. What Wang Xinmai dislikes the most is waste. Every time she sees the food in the canteen or the teaching building, she looks bad and whispers in a low voice when she returns to the dormitory. Li Xinghua, on the other hand, has a habit of working. Last year, her senior classmates went to the countryside to help with the farm work, so she proposed to her class that they should also go to the countryside to help the farmers. However, the department did not agree because they were just entering the first grade. However, these two issues seem to have nothing to do with bureaucracy, nor are they criticisms of department leaders or school leaders. They are more suggestions. Deng Jun looked at Guo Lan who fell on the bed with relief, wondering why she Still so happy, which is obviously far from the leader's requirements. Hu Zhenfang showed a slight smile and was about to go out. The door opened. Wang Xinmai opened the door and came in and handed her a letter. It was a letter from her father. This was the third letter this month. Hu Zhenfang knew it was another letter without even reading it. About rectification. Since the rectification movement began, she realized that the school would inevitably be involved, so she wrote to her father to inquire. Her father's letter very clearly told her that she must be cautious and never be the first to show off. Recently, she received three letters in a row telling her that she would definitely be careful. ", I have been reading the newspapers recently. The comments in the newspapers are extremely hot. My child, you must not be confused. I know you are trying to join the Youth League and want to be active, but politics is not clear. This year is right, but tomorrow may That's wrong. My father doesn't want you to get ahead. He just wants you to stay safe and be careful." Judging from the frequency of his father's letters, Hu Zhenfang knew that his father was really worried. He was a craftsman who didn't understand politics and had been cautious all his life. They lived a peaceful life, struggled through the war years, and raised their children. Chu Mei got on the car and drove out of the school along the school road. She received another love letter today, and it was still from Xu Zhimo. The poem was not bad, and it had a bit of Xu Zhimo's flavor. It was a pity that she did not appreciate Kangqiao. The suspension of classes for rectification is a great opportunity for those students who don¡¯t care much about politics. Many students take advantage of this season to visit major scenic spots and historic sites in the city. Chu Mei goes home more often during this period. . Two days ago, I went home and learned that Chu Yun had been admitted to the obstetrics and gynecology hospital. Because she was shocked on the way home, she might give birth prematurely. At this time, the situation at home is not good. Yue Xiuxiu has been studying and holding meetings at the CPPCC all day. Chu Mingshu is also busy now. In addition to working in the factory and store, he also has to participate in rectification studies and symposiums organized by the Federation of Industry and Commerce. Chang Xinlan is more like a mother this time. She goes to the hospital every day to deliver food, either chicken soup or bird's nest and white fungus. Various supplements are delivered in various ways. Chu Kuanyuan is even busier now. In addition to paying attention to the factory that is about to be put into operation, he also If you want to participate in the rectification movement, you can only visit the hospital at night. Chu Mei did not expect to meet Chu Kuanyuan and his mother Jinlan in the hospital. Chu Kuanyuan also took time to visit the hospital. The only one who did not show up was Chu Kuanguang. It seemed that no one knew what he was doing. Chu Mingqiu I really wanted to ask him and ask him what he was busy with all day long, but he really didn't have time. He just came back from the hospital on Sunday when he received a call.
