Chapter 1: Wait for the rice to be put into the pot
On February 9, 1977, there were still ten days left before the Spring Festival.
"Understood,...... Well, well, okay, I'll take care of this properly...... no problem, okay, goodbye! ”
Chen Wenguang, director of the Guangzhou Municipal Revolutionary Committee and the Liaison Office, put down the phone, sat on the chair and pondered for a while, got up and left the director's office, and came to the next office. Pushing open the door, I saw that the subordinate clerks were chatting with great interest, discussing how to spend this Spring Festival, what New Year's goods each family bought, and talking happily.
He turned his eyes and greeted a middle-aged clerk who was practicing pen writing according to the calligraphy: "Lao Huang, you come to my office, there are some things for you to do." ”
"Director!"
"Director!"
The clerks who were chatting heard his voice, looked up and saw him, and hurriedly stood up one by one, and greeted him respectfully.
Chen Wenguang nodded, turned around and went back to his office.
It has been a malaise for many years that people in the agency are superficial, and their Liaison Office usually does not work much, and the Spring Festival is approaching, so there is no need for him to sweep everyone's happiness and scold his subordinates.
As soon as I got back to the office and sat down, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Lao Huang pushed the door in and closed the door carefully: "Director, are you looking for me?" ”
"That's right, I want you to pick up a group at the train station in the afternoon and arrange for them. This person has a special identity, this time he went to Hong Kong through China in his personal capacity, and he hopes that we will also receive him as an unofficial person, not to make a big fuss, so that everyone will know. Chen Wenguang explained to him.
Lao Huang is an old comrade with rich experience in foreign affairs, and he understood as soon as he heard it: "Do you want to contact them and meet with leaders at all levels?" Are people from Albaria or Eastern European countries coming? ”
"I won't contact the leader for a meeting." Chen Wenguang picked up a piece of paper and handed it over across the table, "Here are some of the situations I just wrote down, you can take a look." ”
"I see." Hearing that he was not going to arrange a meeting with the leaders, Lao Huang knew that this was not an important delegation, so he took the paper from the leader's hand, looked at it seriously, and then was stunned, "The People's Party?" Didn't the country decide not to support them anymore? This ......, is it appropriate for us to receive them? ”
The foreign affairs task is very principled, and the scale is not something that the people below can do on their own, and Lao Huang was very surprised to see that he was about to receive members of the People's Party.
"You can rest assured, this is a direct instruction from the External Relations Department." Chen Wenguang first reassured the other party and explained, "Although we have withdrawn the military advisory group and no longer provide support, after all, we are still a fraternal party, and we can't turn our faces ruthlessly, right?" Fortunately, they also went to Hong Kong through China in their personal capacity, so we can do a good job of reception, do not arrange any leaders to meet, do not talk about policies during the reception, do not give commitments, politely receive well, and finally send gifts out of the country. If they want to make an unreasonable request, you should immediately refuse. Of course, some reasonable small requests, as long as they do not violate the policy, can be helped. ”
"I see!"
Lao Huang really understands, isn't it just to eat, drink and play together, and at the end of the day, sending people away is considered to complete the task, which is simple.
"There are about a dozen of them, and in order to do a good job of reception, you can go to the city tour company and borrow a tour bus, and then a jeep will be sent out of the bus class. The train they take is at the station at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the train number is K231. ”
"Okay, director, I'll arrange it if it's okay." Lao Huang saw that the director had nothing more to explain, so he withdrew from the office, closed the door, and immediately began to transfer vehicles and prepare for the reception.
……
Guan Fei sat on the lower bunk, holding his chin in his hand, looking at the scenery outside the car window, and fell into deep thought.
It has been nearly three years since he traveled to this era, from being at a loss at the beginning, to trying to get in touch with people and understand the environment and times in which he lives. After he realized that this was Yunnan in 1974, he mixed into the student team to support the "world revolution", successfully washed away the biggest identity flaw of the black household, and smoothly integrated into the world.
Joining the People's Army not only satisfied his long-standing military plot, but also gained a huge opportunity.
"Brigade commander, the train has arrived in Guangzhou, and it will enter the station quickly." The reminder of the guard Zhou Xiaoyun woke him up from his contemplation.
"Really?"
Guan Fei looked out and saw that the scenery outside the window had changed from continuous farmland to large buildings. It's just that the buildings are generally not high, and many of them are still old bungalows and tiled houses, which look gray and dilapidated. The people you saw by the train tracks were not very well dressed, most of them wore dark woolen uniforms, men were like this, and many women were like this, except for a few little girls in skirts.
The roads are also mostly asphalt pavement, and there are few cement pavements, which shows the shortage of domestic cement and other infrastructure materials.
The country is still very poor at this time.
Guan Fei was a little shocked. He was crawling in the jungle, where the conditions were difficult, and he took it for granted, after all, it was a backward area managed by Tusi before. But on this train trip, he saw that the situation in China was also very bad.
Not to mention that in the interstellar era he is in, there are thousands of kilometers of floating cities and buildings of various shapes here, even in nostalgic movies, the common high-rise buildings in this era are extremely rare.
This is still a big city, passing by some small county towns, rural areas, you can also see earthen shacks, thatched houses, almost make him feel like he is back in time ago.
According to the information in the biological brain, it is these simplely dressed people in front of them, through decades of silent hard work, that such a backward country has become the world's largest economic power in 50 years, setting off the first wave of national rejuvenation, and laying a solid foundation for the future Chinese Interstellar Federation!
When Guan Fei thought of this, he couldn't help but feel excited.
He doesn't really have much of a firm belief in anything, but he's a nationalist through and through!
He is very happy that he can return to this era of vitality, although he is still poor, and work hard with his predecessors, and feed back the scientific and technological knowledge he has learned in later generations to this era, so that individuals and countries can get the greatest benefits, and the road in the future will be smoother and the speed of development will be faster!
Guan Fei looked out the window, his body was full of energy!
"Pack up your things and get ready to get off!" He took the lead in packing up his things.
"Yes!"
The guards and soldiers in the same carriage responded in unison.
They have very few things with them, and they have been crawling in the jungle for many years, and they have very few personal belongings. Like the casual clothes they wear, they were basically brought out from home when they were educated youths, and many of them were a little damaged.
In addition, there are only a few toiletries prepared for them by the domestic authorities, such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels, and water cups, which can be cleaned up in a minute or two.
Guard Zhou Xiaoyun finally took out a small wooden box from under the bottom bed where Guan Fei slept and hugged it tightly in his arms.
Bang, bang, squeak!
The train entered the station, the speed was slower, and after taxiing to the docking platform, the brake, a burst of inertia came, Guan Fei, with the assistance of the biological auxiliary brain, the body muscle groups beat slightly, counteracting the momentum, and stood firmly on the floor. The other guards had to hold on to the bed frame and wall panels to stabilize their bodies.
Going down to the platform, Zhou Xiaoyun and the others were a little soft under their feet, and their steps were vague, this was the train that had been sitting for a long time, and they were not used to the hard ground.
"Excuse me, which of you is Comrade Guan Fei?"
A middle-aged man in his forties stared at the carriage, saw Guan Fei and the others get off the car, estimated it, and asked tentatively.
"I'm Guan Fei, may I ask ...... you are" Guan Fei knew that someone was picking up the station, and seeing that the other party was wearing a uniform with four pockets, it was a cadre, and asked politely.
"Hello hello! My surname is Huang, and I am an officer of the Liaison Office, and my superiors sent me to pick you up at the station. These are the only people you have? Lao Huang enthusiastically held Guan Fei's hand with both hands, shook it twice, and found that it was just the four of them, and turned his head to look around, a little uncertain.
"The other comrades are in the hard-seat carriage, wait a minute, they will come over immediately."
"Okay, that's good, let's wait!" Lao Huang smiled on his face, and asked if it was hard to take the train, whether there was motion sickness, etc., and asked for warmth, very enthusiastic.
After waiting for a few minutes, more than ten people lined up and ran over here, came to the front, stood still, and saluted: "Report, Bao Yajun (Fang Xiaoshan) (Luo Lin)...... Back to the team, please instruct! ”
Lao Huang looked at their undisguised troops, and then looked at the curious crowd gathered on the platform, and frowned.
"Hands down! We came out as individuals this time, so we won't queue up, salute, or report in the future, and we will directly address each other by name, you can call me Xiaoguan or Guan Fei, remember? ”
"Remember!"
Everyone responded loudly, attracting more onlookers.
Seeing that there were more and more people, Director Huang quickly led Guan Fei and his party out of the platform, got into a tourist bus, and started quickly, leaving the crowd watching the excitement behind.
"Brigade Commander Guan, let's go to the military region guest house first, and after everyone has a day of rest, I'll take you on a tour of Guangzhou......" After the car drove away, Officer Huang said his plan.
"Thank you for your kindness, but we hope to arrange for us to go to Hong Kong as soon as possible!" Guan Fei interrupted him unceremoniously, and then said sincerely, "When we came out, there were still twelve tons of rice left on the troops. You also know that there is no meat and non-staple food, just eating food, an adult needs a pound of rice every day! We now have 1,500 people, and we consume 750 kilograms of food every day! Twelve tons of rice is enough for sixteen days! If we hadn't had no choice, how could we be in a hurry to go to Hong Kong, we were really waiting for the rice to go to the pot at home, and we couldn't go on! ”
Officer Huang's polite smile had some different meanings.
The Chinese speak of human feelings, and in any case, the People's Party developed only with domestic support. Now the sudden withdrawal of support for it seems to have a bit of a river crossing and demolishing bridges. People are always sympathetic, and in the face of cold words, he can treat it as if it didn't happen, but people are right in front of him, and he still feels a little unbearable in his heart when he sees others having a bad time.
The details of his face have changed very little, but even this small change that others are imperceptible to others is all in Guan Fei's eyes.
Guan Fei's biological brain was running rapidly, and his changes were linked to the corresponding mood fluctuations in the data, allowing him to have a clear judgment of Director Huang's mood at the moment.
There is a door!
He was overjoyed.
On this trip to Hong Kong, he was able to handle the whole process independently, but the time may be delayed more. But the family is really looking forward to it, waiting for him to buy food back for emergencies. If the domestic side is willing to lend a little help, it can be of great help to him!
"Do you have any plans?" Officer Huang's tone was softer, no longer so raw, with a little personal emotion.
"In the past, we just wanted to start a company and make money to support our family. However, we do not have an official identity in Hong Kong, and it would be grateful if the mainland could help in this regard. We can obtain the rest by our own labor, and we will not bother you. Guan Fei tactfully told the request.
Officer Huang nodded slightly.
It's not difficult to say, and it's not easy to say.
Unlike in the 60s, Hong Kong used to be able to obtain legal residency status. Hong Kong and Britain now have a barrage policy, which means that you first have to smuggle across the border, and then avoid the military and police who are searching for you. After entering the urban area, you must find your relatives and be accompanied by them to the civil affairs registration office to confirm that it is your relatives in order to obtain a local identity card issued by the British side in Hong Kong.
It used to be easier for Guangdong locals, who had many relatives on Hong Kong Island, and it was not difficult to get an identity card as long as they were willing to confirm that they were their relatives.
But like Guan Fei, it's more difficult.
They are basically educated youths who have gone out of China, and there are all over the world, and the most of them are junior and senior high school students who go to the mountains and countryside in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan provinces. They just passed, and they had no local relatives to turn to, so they couldn't get legal status. Once caught by the police, they will also be deported.
Officer Huang didn't dare to assert himself about this matter, so he could only respond vaguely: "I will report to the above as soon as possible to see what the above means......
