Yanbo and " Capitalism Tail"
Hexi Corridor
We were educated youth in the mid-1970s. At that time, it was the era of planned economy. Residents needed tickets to buy anything, such as cloth tickets, meat tickets, sugar tickets, oil tickets, wine tickets, tofu tickets, bean sprout tickets, flint tickets, soap tickets, and laundry tickets. Among them, the food coupons were divided into national food coupons and local food coupons, as well as kerosene tickets, grain purchase certificate books, etc.
Of course, that era was also the most intense year when "cutting the tail of capitalism".
At that time, people's lives were already very nervous, but everyone was still committing their own faults to "cut the tail of capitalism". At this time, the most fashionable and popular slogan in society was "I would rather have the grass of socialism than the seedlings of capitalism"!
At this time, our production team was even more "left" and surprisingly, one person can only be divided into two parts, and one family can only raise five chickens or six ducks, but they can only choose one of two, and they cannot raise both at the same time. However, there is no limit on feeding pigs, but you must "buy five and keep five". In other words, if you feed four, you must raise two, if you feed three, you must raise one and a half, if you feed two, you must hang one, and if you feed one, you must hang halfway. This is the policy at that time.
Only one chicken or duck can be raised, and it is necessary to raise one type of chicken or duck. Even if you raise one more, it must be considered as the tail of capitalism. In our country with the dictatorship of the proletariat, socialist society , the tail of capitalism cannot grow, it must be cut if it grows.
At that time, in addition to the serious crime of "current counter-revolution", which may be beheaded, another very fashionable crime is also the most popular, which is the so-called " speculative counter-revolutionary ". If the material here is cheaper, if you buy it and sell it in another place, it is "speculative counter-revolutionary", which will be severely attacked because it is "taking the capitalist path".
In order to prevent some dishonest people from "speculating and refusing", various places have also issued many policies, which are actually "cutting off the fire. At that time, townships stipulated in this way: In order to avoid speculation and refusal, all places in rural areas must go to the same day, and here they are relaxed to avoid speculative and reselling. As a result, the farmers' lives are very difficult and want to eat a meal of meat unless it is the New Year, it is a whimsical idea.
Yanbo of our production team, he is an old soldier of Resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, . His son works in the Provincial Department of Education, and his daughter is already married. He didn't care about this: as long as he met the garrison cadres, he would poke the stone slabs with his dragon-headed crutches made of Mengzimu and said to the cadres of the garrison's work team: "You cut the tail of capitalism, the tail is cut off, and the people are cut off! I have nothing to eat, come and cut your tail and stew it! You want to cut my tail, be careful I will beat you with the crutches."
He also pointed to the production team, brigade, and commune cadres and said this. " Raising one more chicken or one duck means taking the capitalist path. It is all about capitalist restoration, so this capitalist is too easy to be a capitalist." "Farmers eat grass, and people eat grass, and people become livestock! Do you have to do this?! I don't care about this. I will feed as many chickens and ducks as I want."
That time he bought more than 100 ducks to feed, and he has a duck shed, which is equivalent to the current mobile house grabbing house, and he can carry it everywhere.
Starting from the start, those young men in the work team didn't know which one he was, they came to catch his duck, and he ran away with crutches. The captain of the work team fell into , winter paddy field , and was kidnapped by him.
The captain of the work team was furious and called the people from the commune militia team to arrest him and took him to the commune, hoping that the commune secretary would scold him and close him for a few more days.
At this time, the secretary just solved it. Unexpectedly, he sat down on the secretary's chair while sitting in the secretary's office. He smoked cigarettes when he saw the secretary and drank the tea when he saw the secretary's tea. The team leader couldn't stop him.
The comrades of the work team secretly complained when they saw his series of actions: "This old man is too brave and is so casual in our secretary's office. Does he have any background? He is just an ordinary old farmer in the production team."
He was about to criticize the old man for not being presumptuous. The secretary came in. When he saw the old man, he hurriedly saluted the old man with a standard military salute, said "report to the squad leader", and went up to shake hands with the old man and asked about his well-being. The man from the
work team was stunned. "Secretary, who is he? He is the tail of capitalism," asked the cadre of the work team. "Capitalist tail, you are fucking nonsense, you are the capitalist tail! Who is he? He is my old squad leader and comrade-in-arms, a hero of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, Shangganling Battle He dug me out of the pile of dead people, what? Do you know who he is?" After criticism and introduction from the secretary, the person in this work team realized that he had "came trouble".
When this person in the work team talked about the story, the secretary said: "It's right to develop productivity. If he wants to raise ducks or chickens, he will raise them. Raise as much as he wants. Anyway, chickens and ducks will not eat people. I'm about to hold a three-party meeting. You take him to a restaurant for dinner, and then pour him a pot of wine and a cigarette of 'Chaoyang Bridge' and ask the carriage passenger to take the old squad leader back. The cadres of the work team nodded quickly.
Yan Bo said goodbye to the secretary and the people from the work team. Coincidentally, Lao Ping and I were rushing to go home. He called us to have dinner together. After we had enough food and meals, we took a carriage home together.
From then on, the cadres of the work team could no longer cut Yan Bo's capitalist tail. I also bought twenty ducks for him to let him put them. We were two of them and half of the ducks. That year, my family had a good year.
