Chapter 108: Courage to serve
Father Shen originally planned to give Huang Han a few words of instruction, but he actually raised such a big topic with a child, which was a bit ridiculous.
    But Huang Han’s words touched his mind, and he really had the intention of going to the countryside to conduct research in person.
     "Son, can't the production team where your registered permanent residence is located still not be able to eat white rice?" Father Shen spoke again, and his voice was obviously much softer.
    “Yes, if you don’t have potatoes, barley noodles, carrots and other things mixed in, you will definitely be hungry.
    The work points earned by strong members of the cooperative after working hard for a year are only worth more than 100 yuan. Most of the members of the current production team are working as foreigners, and if they continue like this, they will only become poorer."
    Principal Zhu interjected: "Secretary Shen, Huang Han's family has four rural household registrations. His family has to eat cereals. You can imagine the living standards of those real rural people."
    Dad Shen took a long breath and said, "Son, I want to tell you that not every cadre in the county is a vegetarian. I believe you will understand in the future!"
    He smiled at Principal Zhu again and said, "Principal Zhu, this child is very smart. The school should give him more help. Let's do this today!"
    Dad Shen stood up and walked away, walking steadily, as if he had made a decision in his heart.
    Huang Han said loudly behind him: "Leader, implement the 'big contract' as soon as possible! Hundreds of thousands of farmers in the county will be grateful to you!"
    “I don’t want anyone to be grateful, I just want this peace of mind!”
    “Cheers to you!”
    Principal Zhu couldn’t bear it any longer. He patted Huang Han’s big head and said, “You are a kid, is cheering useful?”
     "Alas! It's a pity that I am a child, otherwise I would have given him three bowls of wine to cheer him up!"
     "You little devil, you are talking nonsense!"
     "Principal, can you send me back to Classes 3 and 4?"
    “Why?”
     "You just called me here in person. The classmates will definitely guess and there will be rumors. If you send me back to the classroom in a friendly manner, the rumors will be self-defeating!"
     "Haha! You are a little kid! Well, I will put you on the horse and give you a ride."
    “Thank you, principal!”
    “You’re welcome, let’s go!”
    Principal Zhu was very easy-going. He smiled and held Huang Han's hand until he was sent to the classroom of Classes 3 and 4. He even exchanged opinions with Teacher Xiao Han before going back.
    As expected, the students who saw all this peeked at Huang Han with extremely respectful eyes.
    After get out of class, Huang Han took the initiative to find Shen Xiaorong. The little girl was still angry, but Uncle Huang Han was very shameless, so he pretended to be serious and said:
    “Teach us that if we don’t investigate, we have no right to speak. I’m here to apologize.
    Facts have proved that your father is not a 'vegetarian' at all, but a good cadre who has the courage to take on tasks, dares to take responsibility, and takes the initiative. You should be proud of your father!"
     "I, what did my father say to you?"
    “Without saying anything to me, the two of us talked about the joint land contract responsibility system and jointly realized that the ‘big contract’ is a good policy to enrich the people.
    Your father left with high spirits, and he will definitely fight to the end with the cadres of the ‘Corpse Vegetarian Dinner’. You must support your father unswervingly!”
    “I don’t quite understand what you are saying.”
     "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. All you need to know is that your father is working hard to serve the people."
    “I love hearing you talk like this!”
    “Do you accept my apology?”
     "Well! I forgive you!"
     "Haha, the wind is rustling and the water is cold. The heroes are gone and never come back. Your father will be busy next! It must not be so tragic."
     "Huang Han, the poem you just read is very powerful, can you tell me about it?"
     "Okay! Come to Class 3 or 4. I will go to the podium and tell you the story of Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin to the whole class!"
    “Okay! Okay!”
    After a small storm passed, Huang Han, a little butterfly, flapping its wings still had a little effect.
    Dad Shen actually went to several towns to conduct research. The Dragon Boat Festival had already passed and the sun was very hot.
     Several people rode bicycles from village to village, and all of them were as tan as Zhang Fei.
   
     Realizing that if he continued to eat from a big pot, he would not be able to eat even the grain rice, Dad Shen did not want to be silent anymore. He firmly believed in becoming a reformist.
    When the county held another meeting, he was the first to launch the bombardment, demanding that the land joint production contract responsibility system be immediately promoted, and suggesting that small commune factories that could not survive be contracted to private parties.
    One stone set off a thousand waves, and the county leadership team, which was originally lifeless, had a heated debate.
    Dad Shen was completely at a disadvantage. For a while, whenever there was a meeting, he would be called out by the top leaders, saying that if he continued like this, he would make a wrong path and become a capitalist roader.
    Although Father Shen was the third-in-command, he had once been the secretary to a big leader. He thought that most of the leaders in Sanshui County were conservative and had a simple diet, so he went to the province to complain to the old leaders in anger.
& nbsp
    This time he firmly believed that he was right. He had indeed seen with his own eyes that reform was the general trend. And because he read the newspaper carefully again, he felt that he should have understood the spirit of the central government.
& nbsp
    The old leader smiled and asked: "Xiao Shen! What are you going to do next? Are you going to compromise, or are you going to fight the conservatives to the end?"
     "I came to you this time to ask for help. I think everything I did was to improve the production enthusiasm of the masses in Sanshui County, and it was not a capitalist road at all."
    “Okay! Since you are determined to benefit the people and the country, you should stick to it to the end.
& nbsp
     Although Dad Shen who went to the province did not get power, he knew that the old leaders were fully supportive of the reform. He was full of confidence and made accusations in debates many times, earning a reputation as a pioneer of reform in Sanshui County...

    But by buying tea eggs and crayfish, half sold and half given away, dozens of "backpacks" containing less than thirty fluorescent lamps were earned.
