Chapter 8 Opening the Gates of Chaos

After returning to Furuli, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan did not enter the door of Hong's house directly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Instead, he first went to Chen Liquan's house in the West Courtyard to get Quanzi's mother's passbook, ran to the bank, and took out all the money. Then add the 400 yuan given by "Zou Toad" and the 100 yuan of You San's "share of money" to make up an integer. Only then did they return to Hong's house with money and things.

As for the gold watch, Hong Yanwu felt that it was only about 100 yuan for sale, and it was not easy to sell, so he persuaded Chen Liquan to stay first. And at this moment, all the property on the two of them is more than eighty yuan left over from You San's "share of money".

After all, he is such a big person, and his body can't be clean. Considering that I have to go out to run errands, I will inevitably have some social expenses. So Hong Yanwu didn't hand over this bit of money, but added two to five, and Chen Liquan and half of them, and "split" this little "leaf".

And those tickets that also came from You San couldn't be handed over to the family because they couldn't tell where they came from, so they had to be put in his own hands for the time being.

In this way, at about six o'clock in the evening, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan walked into the hall of the Hong family with a thick pile of great unity and a jade flat square wrapped in yellow silk.

But they were full of joy, but they didn't expect that as soon as they opened the door, before they could take out something, Wang Yunlin greeted them all at once.

Wang Yunlin didn't look at whether Hong Yanwu came back with Bian Fang, but looked at her son's face, looking hard, and didn't seem to believe that this was Hong Yanwu's face. It was as if it was a very impossible thing for his son to return home, a very unbelievable thing.

This time he completely lost Hong Yanwu's emotions when he returned with a full load, his heart was extremely sour, and he didn't need to say anything at all, he understood that his mother had been worried about him all afternoon.

"Mom, I got the stuff back. Look at ......"

Sure enough, the moment Hong Yanwu took out the yellow silk wrap, Wang Yunlin not only did not look a little happy, but became more and more frightened.

"You...... Really went...... Did you hurt someone? Something happened?" Wang Yunlin didn't pick up the package, but asked eagerly while closing the door in a hurry.

"Aunt Hong (in the old days, women had their husband's surname, so for Wang Yunlin's generation, they were often used to being called by their husband's surname), don't worry, I went with Xiao Wu, there are no sequelae at all, Xiao Wu'er is doing things quite beautifully today......"

In the end, Chen Liquan took over the conversation, and then told Wang Yunlin about today's experience.

Chen Liquan is a well-known honest person in the whole alley, different from Hong Yanwu, who comes when he opens his mouth to talk nonsense, he is nervous and stammers as soon as he lies, so seeing his frank description, Wang Yunlin still believes it.

Hearing that Zou Shuncai had fallen into such a situation, Wang Yunlin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her gaze when she looked at her son again changed from worry and fear to relief and joy.

That night, not only did the 1,000 yuan in the name of Chen Liquan make Wang Yunlin extremely moved and thanked. And being able to see the lost ancestral objects again really made Wang Yunlin cry with joy.

And because Wang Yunlin repeatedly stroked the jade flat square, he was reluctant to let go for a long time, Hong Yanwu was curious and asked to know that this jade flat square was the only item left by his grandmother to his mother.

This inevitably made him feel extremely pitiful for his mother, because although there was hope for the cost of his father's treatment, once this item was sold, it was likely that his mother would never see it again in her life.

For the first time, Hong Yanwu felt a mixed sadness. In his heart, he really hated his incompetence, and if he could, he really hoped that he could use other ways to scrape together the money for his father's treatment, so that this thing could always be by his mother's side.

In this way, looking at his mother who was alone in the memories of the past under the lamp, and listening to his father's snorting caused by pain, he was also in a very conflicted mood, and he was in a daze......

Monday, March 24, 1977.

This is the third day of Hong Yanwu's return.

Wang Yunlin used the public phone to ask for leave from the factory early in the morning, and she was going to take Bian Fang to inquire about the price today. And Chen Liquan used a lunch box to take the food left by Wang Yunlin and went to work as usual.

As for Hong Yanwu, he also has his own things to do, that is, to go to the Fifth Division of the Public Security Bureau to ask how to handle the matter of moving his household registration from Chadian to Beijing.

The Fifth Division of the Beijing Public Security Bureau, also known as the Labor Reform Work Office, was the predecessor of the later Beijing Labor Reform Bureau.

Back then, someone joked that among the "division chiefs" in our country, no one had the director of the "Fifth Division of the Beijing Public Security Bureau."

This is because during this period, the total number of people under the jurisdiction of the RTL Work Office should be more than 100,000, including RTL, RTL, employment, cadres, and workers.

How can there be so many people?

Or was it because the policy of re-education through labor at that time was "only in but not out". The public security organs are not only responsible for arresting people and supervising re-education through labor, but also for arranging work for "reeducation" after they are released.

At that time, it was the time when the employed people were most dissatisfied with the "employment policy". This is because there are more and more prisoners who have completed their sentences and those who have completed their sentences, and almost all of them remain in the labor camps for employment.

A small public security department of the fifth department can be said to be carrying a heavy burden. As the number of "employed people" increases, the "indigestion" of the five departments of the Public Security Bureau becomes more serious, and the treatment of these personnel becomes worse and worse.

For example, in the first few years of the implementation of the "employment policy" in Chadian, the employed people were also called "employed workers", who could join the trade union, did a good job, and had the opportunity to go to Beidaihe to recuperate, and the salary was generally more than 40 yuan.

Therefore, most people are relatively stable, or bring their families to the young, or find a partner in the countryside to start a family.

But this kind of good life did not last long, and within a few years, the name of "employed workers" was changed to "employed persons". Not only have trade unions been abolished, but the wages of newly employed people are generally only 32 yuan, and those who are low can only get 25 yuan.

In particular, after the "movement," "employed persons" have again become the target of dictatorship (government), and they are not allowed to go out on annual leave and rest, and they are only given seven days of personal leave a year to go home to visit relatives, and they are escorted by guns when they are transferred. At this point, the "employed people" are, "useless with food, useless with use." ”

As a result, at the end of the "movement", when the high pressure gradually lessened, many escapes occurred among the "employed".

Some people go to the border areas to work as long-term workers, and some go to the coal mines to go down the coal kilns. More people who are unwilling to endure hardships, just like Hong Yanwu at the beginning, "float" outside, relying on all kinds of evil ways to live.

And once these people were arrested, entered the study class, and explained their motives for escaping, they all told in unison about the survival dilemma of employment, saying that as long as they could solve the problem of food and clothing, they would not run away.

But in fact, without a policy, no one in the entire public security bureau can solve these problems. Therefore, for those who have committed less serious new crimes, the final handling is often difficult for the correctional cadres to explain the big truth, and then let them go.

In this way, the employed people continued to flee, and after being arrested, they were released again, and after they were released, they fled again, and it became a vicious circle, and this was probably also a relatively important reason for the chaos in social order at that time.

The change in the situation began with the collapse of the four-member gang, and with the gradual recovery of some veteran public security cadres who were affected by the impact, the idea of changing the bad status quo has been moved. As a result, in the year since Hong Yanwu returned home, the Fifth Public Security Department has begun to gradually open the gates, allowing some employed people with practical difficulties to move back to their household registration first.

It should be said that this is good governance, which is good for the country and ordinary people. However, we should also understand the specific difficulties we faced at that time, the problems caused by so many years, and the problems of so many personnel, and it is unrealistic to solve them all at once.

So when Hong Yanwu came to the reception room of the Fifth Division of the Public Security Bureau, what he saw was an extremely chaotic scene.

The five reception rooms were crowded with people, and all of them were "educated" family members who had come to ask for a hukou. And most of these people are old men and old ladies with white hair.

At that time, the elderly were very few literate and hyphenated, and the chaos of scrambling for bus seats and queuing for congestion became a common practice in society. Therefore, these people do not know how to keep the order in line, and they do not know how to speak softly.

Each of them squeezed hard into it, and finally squeezed in front of the reception staff, and regardless of whether the other party could hear it or not, they quarreled loudly.

There are old men who want their sons to go home to serve, there are old ladies who want their grandsons to go home to take care of them, and there are also those who complain about grievances, demand release, and at the same time demand rehabilitation.

In the chaos and commotion, several reception staff in five places were also sweating and in a hurry. They tried their best to dissuade this and comfort that, and as a result, they spent their energy and time on maintaining order, and they couldn't hear what was being said at all.

Hong Yanwu was simply stupid, he never expected that this place would be so lively.

Because in his mind, in this era of closed news, the Fifth Public Security Department has just had this preliminary policy, and there is no large-scale specific management method to be implemented, and even policemen like Zhang Baocheng still don't know much about it, so there shouldn't be too many people who know about it. How could there be such a noisy scene?

In fact, I am afraid that this has to say that Hong Yanwu wants to be left, but also because he has been out of this era for too long, and some things are no longer understood.

In those days, although ordinary people could not watch television, newspapers and radio were mostly full of political movements and major criticisms. But when it comes to the national economy and people's livelihood, after all, it belongs to the news category that the people really care about.

For the sake of their own vital interests, people will never give up lightly because the serious media has not promulgated it, so some shrewd masters often go to the door behind their backs to inquire about the latest gossip from relevant people.

In addition, the composition of the cadres who were in power at that time was also mixed, and many of them were "rocket cadres" who had gone up from the bottom during the special period, and these people had done everything before. Therefore, as soon as there is a little movement on the upper floor, it will soon slip out of the "small road".

As a matter of fact, as soon as the policy of repatriating to the hukou was loosened, the relevant news began to spread from east to west, and it soon became a storm in the city.

Some ordinary people even knew about this earlier than the heads of the public security organs. Some people even have a grasp of the specific policy scale, although there is some speculation in it, but it makes people have to believe it.

Because this was indeed the situation at that time, there were many things, and the gossip news was more accurate than the official news. This is also the main reason why, even after the society is stable, for a long time, social rumors are still easy to spread, and it is easy for people to be deceived.

Anyway, in the face of this chaotic scene, Hong Yanwu was dead. As soon as he looked at it, he understood that it was impossible to solve the problem here, so he had to squeeze out again and go home to make another idea.

To say that the current Hong Yanwu, he has vision and knowledge, and he has dealt with people in shopping malls and officialdom for many years, talking about doors and relationships, and he knows that the official seal is not as good as the private seal, and the poke is not as good as the face. So he quickly figured out the situation he was facing.

He believes that as soon as the "movement" is over, these people who were forced to leave Beijing for various reasons will be thinking about moving their hukou back as long as they still have a breath of air.

But so many people, even if the policy allows, it is impossible to come back all at once, there must be a question of who comes first and who comes last.

It stands to reason that the government must give priority to solving the problems of those who have redressed unjust, false and wrongly decided cases and who have gone to the mountains and gone to the countryside, while these people who have completed their employment after re-education through labor or re-education through labor are most likely to be wrong in the future.

Therefore, for these "employed people", even if there is the spirit of opening the gates, they must only come step by step, who can catch up with the first and second dials, it must not rely on luck and performance, but on relationships and skills.

In terms of his conditions, the only thing that can be brought up is that there is a seriously ill father at home, but it is more difficult than him, so there is little hope of relying on this bonus point to get things done. If you really want to get this done, the best way is probably to find a relationship within the Public Security Bureau and go through the back door.

It's a pity that although he is proficient in the way of gift-giving, he is currently facing the problem of "can't find the temple gate with a pig's head", where does he know those heads and brains of the Public Security Bureau?

Alas, it seems that we have to think long-term. And you have to figure it out quickly.

Because he also knows that after seven or eight years, it will be the fever of educated youths returning to the city. If it really drags on until then, let alone moving the hukou, it will be even more difficult to do anything. (To be continued.) )
