Chapter 36 Rehabilitate
Warrior's Heart Always Facing the Sun
The Yellow Sea rises to welcome the rising sun, and the soldiers' hearts bloom like sunflowers.
Sing hymns with passion, and every heart is toward the Party.
The Yellow Sea is rolling with thousands of waves, and the sea water is used as ink.
The red pen writes infinite loyalty, and the soldiers will always follow the party.
The teacher was explaining a revolutionary poem vividly on the stage, and the students below were listening attentively.
Jiang Weimin, on the other hand, seemed a little absent-minded. He held a pencil in his hand, his eyes wandering, as if he was thinking about something in his mind.
I saw him scribbling casually on the paper, as if looking for clues to inspiration.
At this moment, Jiang Yafei suddenly shouted, "Teacher!" This sudden voice broke the silence in the classroom, and the students turned to look at her.
The teacher stopped teaching, looked at Jiang Yafei with concern, and asked gently, "What can I do for you?"
"Teacher, I have a stomachache,"
"Then go back and see if you want the teacher to accompany you."
Jiang Yafei said "no" and ran out. Jiang Weimin felt very familiar with this scene. Then he thought that his uncle Ouyang Yi must have been rehabilitated, and he should go to his house now.
Then Jiang Weimin saw outside the window that Jiang Yafei had called her mother An Jie out and was saying something. Then An Jie went back to the classroom, and the two of them hurried out of the school.
Jiang Yafei and An Jie finally caught up with An Xin's family after a trot.
"Anjie, how did you know we were coming?" An Xin was very surprised.
An Jie smiled and replied, "Ya Fei saw it. She was distracted in class and saw it." Then he turned to look at Ouyang Yi and said, "Brother-in-law, what wind brought you here?"
"I can't come if there's no wind."
"You can come if you can."
"Anjie, your brother-in-law has been rehabilitated."
Anjie was overjoyed and said, "Really? Brother-in-law."
"It's really true. It's absolutely true."
"Oh, that's great."
An Jie added, "A few days ago, Jiang told me that it was time for Ou to take off his hat. I didn't expect that he would take it off right away."
"It's all thanks to your Commander Jiang." Ouyang Yi had already guessed that it was Jiang Defu who helped to rehabilitate him, but An Jie didn't know that it was Jiang Defu who played a role in Ouyang Yi's rehabilitation.
"How can it be thanks to him? It should be thanks to the Party, thanks to Chairman Mao."
"Let's go home." Anjie took Anxin and his family home.
Arriving home, An Xin looked at the neat yard and said, "This yard is really well tidied. Who tidied it?"
"These vegetables belong to him, and those flowers belong to me. No one cares about anyone else's business."
"The commander is still working!" An Ran was very surprised.
An Jie explained with a smile, "How would he eat if he doesn't work? Besides, he loves to work in the fields. Your uncle is a farmer, and he is full of energy when he works in the fields. You see, when you mention the devil, the farmer will come back."
Just at this moment Jiang Defu got out of the car he drove home.
"Are there any farmers taking the bus home from get off work?" Jiang Yafei did not forget to add a sentence.
After getting off the car, Jiang Defu hurried into the yard and shook hands with Ouyang Yi cordially. "Oh, you are a rare guest, a distinguished guest. Welcome, welcome, welcome."
"Thank you, thank you, thank the Party and thank Chairman Mao for giving me a second life." The first two thank yous were actually thanking Jiang Defu for his help.
"We should thank the Party and Chairman Mao Ouyang. Tonight, let's have a good drink, drink as much as we can, and get drunk. Do you think that's okay?"
"Okay, it's up to you!"
"Come here, call uncle, this is Anran, this is Annuo?" An Xin pulled her two daughters over.
Jiang Defu looked at An Ran, and An Nuo exclaimed, "Oh my goodness, she has become a big girl in the blink of an eye!"
An Xin smiled and replied, "You blink really slowly."
Everyone exchanged greetings again, and then Jiang Defu invited everyone into the house for dinner.
Jiang Defu looked at the five simple dishes on the table and said, "Why are there only these few dishes? This is a bit too simple."
Angel explained with a smile, "They didn't inform us in advance, it was too hasty, let's have a banquet tomorrow."
An Xin said quickly, "No need. What banquet? There's no need to be so particular at home. This is already very good. Look at all the dishes. It's so rich. It's enough to eat."
"It's okay as long as we can eat. Today is Chinese New Year, so let's eat as we do during Chinese New Year. I'll call Xiao Zhao and ask them to send some delicious dishes over. Come on, come on." Jiang Defu's words caused a burst of excited applause from the children.
Jiang Defu then took out his collection of wine and the wine glass that matched it. "I haven't used this kind of glass for many years. Ouyang, thanks to you, I can drink wine in such a fashionable way again today. Come, I'll take off my hat for you and toast to your second political life."
"Be gentle, handle it with care, don't clink it hard, or you'll break my cup." Angie looked at the two people clinking cups with heartache.
"You'll be happy even if it breaks, right, Ouyang?" Jiang Defu always took care of Ouyang Yi's feelings and called him Ouyang instead of Lao Ou.
Ouyang Yi expressed his gratitude again, but then felt that drinking wine was not enough.
"Anjie, do you have any liquor at home? You said that if you keep drinking this kind of liquor, how long will it take for you to get it right? It's not satisfying, is it?"
"Brother-in-law also drinks white wine now." Anjie looked surprised.
"I've already started drinking white wine. Okay, let's switch to white wine."
Jiang Defu said, "Oh, I can't get used to drinking this either. If I had known, I would have drunk white wine from the beginning, right? Hey, Weidong, go get me some white wine. Hey, bring me the bottle of Moutai that I hid." Jiang Weidong took a rest today and did not attend the training.
Hearing that they were going to drink Moutai, Jiang Dehua sulked in the kitchen. An Jie went to the kitchen to serve dishes and saw Jiang Dehua's angry look and asked, "Who pissed you off again?"
"When his uncle came, he didn't even offer him Moutai. And when he wanted to drink good wine, he didn't even ask Lao Ding to accompany him. What a joke."
When An Jie saw that she was making such a fuss for this, he quickly explained that there was only one bottle of Moutai at home and asked her to go and call Lao Ding.
Jiang Dehua became even angrier after hearing this, "Why are you yelling when we're already having dinner?" In fact, Jiang Dehua didn't understand that it was not appropriate to ask Lao Ding to accompany him on this occasion.
After drinking a little in the evening, Ouyang Yi's uneasiness was gradually relieved; Jiang Defu was cautious, afraid of touching his self-esteem, and this caution and politeness reminded Ouyang Yi of his past.
When he was drunk and forced everyone to call him "Lao Ou" to humiliate himself, An Xin felt bitter and uneasy about surviving a disaster. Seeing his disrespect, she felt very sorry. He refused to listen, so she got angry: "I will call you Lao Ou too, okay, Lao Ou," and scolded him for his drunken behavior.
At that moment, Ouyang Yi's defense was completely broken: "You started calling me Lao Ou, and even you look down on me! I am not Lao Ou, my name is Ouyang Yi!" Ouyang Yi lay on the table and cried loudly.
Ouyang Yi was labeled a rightist, and An Xin's close following brought rare warmth to Ouyang, giving him a rare bright spot in this gray world. An Xin was his light.
An Xin was the biggest motivation that supported him through those difficult years. An Xin brought him not only support in life, but also emotional respect, which was what Ouyang lacked the most on the island.
So, when An Xin called him Lao Ou, Ouyang Yi collapsed all of a sudden. His collapse was not because of the name, but because he was afraid that An Xin would look down on him.
This scene was bitter and depressing. Especially the heart-wrenching words "My name is Ouyang Yi" which had been suppressed for too long, coming from the bottom of his heart, expressing the sadness, humiliation, grievance and unwillingness of so many years. Everyone present could feel his pain.
The cry was like a sharp sword, deeply hurting the heart of everyone present.
