Chapter 1 Theft Case A gust of wind blew, and on the large-leaved banyan tree in front of the family building of Zhongling County Supply and Marketing Cooperative, goose-yellow leaves fluttered and fell, fell to the gray mud ground, and flew forward with rolling.

Song Qiong stepped on the leaves and stepped into the small courtyard.

Usually, when you meet an acquaintance, everyone will greet you warmly.

But today is a little abnormal, a few women who were picking vegetables and talking at the door, when they saw Song Qiong, their eyes flickered, and they quickly turned their heads, pretending not to see him.

Someone quickly picked up his belongings and hid in the house.

A few six- and seven-year-old children who were playing under the big banyan tree also ran away with a bang.

"The thief is back!"

"Run!"

Song Qiong smiled slightly, his eyes calmly swept over the big banyan tree, and fell on the children who were wearing green military uniforms and scattered and fled, holding wooden shell guns in their hands, and wooden sticks with red cloth as red tassel guns, dressed as children's groups, playing a game of fighting devils.

"Hey, run away when you meet the bad guys, you're really a shame for the children's group."

"You're not a devil!" A little boy in a black house, sticking out half his head from behind the big banyan tree, said angrily.

"And you're still running?"

"You're a thief, stealing something from a unit."

Song Qiong's face changed slightly, and scenes from the past appeared in front of him again.

His adoptive father, Song Wengen, used to be a porter in Zhongling County Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and won the title of model worker in Guangdong Province, but later in an accident, he injured his hamstring and left him disabled, unable to continue to work as a porter, and worked as a custodian in the warehouse.

In May '79, educated youths from all over the country had begun to return to the city on a large scale, but there was no way to solve the problem of work immediately. Song Qiong also returned to Zhongling at the beginning of the year, unemployed at home, and there was no way to solve the dilemma of survival, so he made up his mind to continue smuggling.

Song Qiong smuggled this time, leaving Zhongling five days ago, and after meeting Zhao Guoqing, he rushed to Jiehe. On the night of his departure, Song Wengen threw away a batch of materials in the warehouse on duty, and the society suspected that Song Wengen and Song Qiong colluded, and Song Qiong took away the materials and absconded.

As a result, Song Wengen was temporarily detained by the Security Unit for investigation.

Later, no evidence could be found, and Song Wengen's identity as a model worker in Guangdong Province was released.

Who knows, just a few days after Song Wengen was put back, the warehouse of the supply and marketing cooperatives was stolen again, and some of the stolen materials were very important, and the supply and marketing cooperatives had to call the police.

The police station and the county supply and marketing cooperative's people's insurance unit did not know for a long time, and they targeted Song Wengen with suspicion, determined that he held the key to the warehouse, and the guards stole it, and detained him.

Later, Chen Yingshang's brother investigated the case of his sister's humiliation, and also took the opportunity to investigate Song Wengen.

suffered repeated blows, and Song Wengen, who was already in poor health, finally failed to survive and died in prison.

At that time, Song Qiong was already in Lungang, and his situation was not very good, so he could not contact his family.

After this blow, the Song family was kicked out of the family building of the supply and marketing cooperative, and the adoptive father Song Wengen and adoptive mother Shen Lanying died one after another, and the two younger brothers and sisters lived a difficult life under the leadership of the eldest sister Song Zhen.

By the time Song Qiong's situation in Lungang improved, he couldn't contact them.

More than ten years later, when he returned to the mainland after a successful career, they also blamed him for the death of his parents, and they were unwilling to accept his help even if life was difficult.

Speaking of which, it was indeed his fault, if he hadn't been bent on leaving, Song Wengen would not have been wronged, if his bag hadn't been snatched away by the long queue, there would have been no follow-up.

Now, Chen Yingshang's matter has been resolved, but the theft case is still a mystery.

Now it should be that the first theft has just happened, and the second theft has not yet happened, but the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has taken measures against Song Wengen, and some bad rumors have begun to circulate.

Song Wengen is clean and very strong, and these rumors may also be one of the reasons why he was depressed and died early.

Thinking of this, Song Qiong's mood couldn't help but be a little depressed, and the excitement of being unexpectedly reborn and about to see his relatives again also became heavy.

He walked through a hallway full of clutter to a door.

The crimson wooden door was wiped clean, and there were some places where the paint had fallen off, revealing the wood grain inside. There was no door number on the door, no obvious signs, and even the memory was far away, but Song Qiong knew very well that this was the one he had lived in and lived in for many years.

knocked on the door, waited for a long time and no one answered, Song Qiong stretched out his hand and pushed, the door was not closed, and slowly opened.

Behind the door, there is the kitchen, on the right hand side is the sink and stove, on the left side is the bathroom, through the kitchen, turn the corner, next to a small room, usually used as a dining room and a place to meet guests.

There was a large room inside, and the small courtyard behind the house was also made of bricks and tiles to form a room, which became a small sleeping place for several of them.

Song Qiong walked into the house, only to hear someone talking inside, the voice was deliberately suppressed, but the anger in the words could be heard.

"Director Shen, what kind of person is Lao Song in our family, others don't know, don't you know? Will he steal things from the club? He has worked in the club for so many years, and he has never even brought a match to his home......"

It was Shen Lanying who spoke.

Hearing this voice, Song Qiong couldn't help but burst into tears.

Soon after Song Wengen's death in prison, Shen Lanying was depressed, and with the root of the disease left by overwork in the past, she only lived for less than a year.

Thinking of the adoptive mother's meticulous care for him when he was young, Song Qiong has always refused to forgive himself, if he knew what happened later, he would rather stay at home and starve than "escape to Hong Kong".

"Sister Shen, Master Song's character, of course I know, you also have to believe in the organization, the organization will not wronged good people, Master Song is temporarily a little wronged, and after this matter is clarified, he will definitely ask him to come back......"

Song Qiong stood outside, couldn't help frowning, the person who spoke should be Shen Jianguo, who was the deputy director of the Zhongling County Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and Shen Lanying still had some twists and turns.

Sure enough, Song Wengen's almost roaring voice sounded inside: "Get out, you get out of me, I, Song Wengen, have nothing to do with the supply and marketing cooperatives of the dog from today onwards......"

Immediately afterwards, the cries of two and a half children sounded in the house, and Song Qiong hurriedly set off to enter, almost colliding with the people who came out of it.

"Hey, Song Qiong, are you back?"

When Shen Jianguo saw him, the expression on his face couldn't help but be a little weird.

Song Qiong nodded to Shen Jianguo.

After Song Wengen's death, Shen Jianguo took a lot of care of Shen Lanying and several children, and after Shen Lanying's death, the few children she left behind were basically taken care of by Shen Jianguo and his wife. Even if he just knew that it was Shen Jianguo who announced the decision of the supply and marketing cooperatives to expel Song Wengen, he couldn't hate this person.

The supply and marketing cooperatives have a total of eight directors and deputy directors, and this decision should be made collectively.

Shen Jianguo hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted Song Qiong's shoulder: "Go and persuade your parents, it's not easy for them to raise your children." ”

After speaking, Shen Jianguo shook his head, pushed the door and left.

Song Qiong's experience is so rich and his eyes are so vicious, he can see that Shen Jianguo still has nothing to say, and his demeanor is not very natural, I am afraid that he still suspects that he has stolen the things in the warehouse.

Song Qiong thought to himself, this time he would not leave again, but if he wanted to help Song Wengen and clear himself of the suspicion of theft, he might not be able to do it without evidence.

Walking into the room, Song Qiong saw Shen Lanying holding her sister Song Ying and younger brother Song Peng, constantly wiping her tears, and the eldest sister Song Zhen hugged Song Wengen's arm, pursed her lips stubbornly, and swept over with sharp eyes.

Seeing Song Qiong, Song Zhen was slightly stunned, and then frowned: "What are you doing when you come back, aren't you going to Lungang?" What are you going to do when you come back—"

Song Wengen and Shen Lanying have never given birth to children, they adopted four of them, two boys and two girls, Song Ying and Song Peng are only thirteen and seven years old respectively, Song Zhen is two months older than Song Qiong, just turned eighteen years old, Song Qiong falsely reported his age, and went to the countryside to cut the queue before he was sixteen years old, Song Zhen has been staying at home to help take care of his two younger brothers and sisters.

Song Zhen has always disliked Song Qiong, thinking that he is not practical, always wants to run outside, and often brings trouble to the family, if it weren't for his involvement, Song Wengen and Shen Lanying might have to win the honor of a few model workers.

"Brother, they bully people-"

However, Song Ying and Song Peng often got food from Song Qiong, and also helped them fight, making fun, and their feelings were very good, and when they saw him, they immediately pounced.

However, this relationship, later with Song Qiong's escape from Hong Kong, Song Wengen and Shen Lanying died one after another, and they also turned into resentment, and they have always refused to forgive Song Qiong.

Now looking at this familiar family, Song Qiong secretly made a decision in his heart that he must change everyone's fate.

Seeing Song Qiong, Song Wengen snorted coldly, turned his head away, and didn't look at him, looking very annoyed.

In his mind, Song Qiong is a Chinese person, even if he starves to death, he is still a ghost of Huaxia, how can he run to Lungang? If Shen Lanying hadn't stopped him, wouldn't he have broken his legs?

"Ah Qiong, you're back, have you eaten? I'll get you something to eat. Shen Lanying wiped her eyes, and there was a faint excitement on her face.

She knew that Song Qiong's return meant that the escape from Hong Kong failed, and she felt a little regretful in her heart, but more than that, she was excited, and her mother was worried, not to mention the dangerous escape from Hong Kong, even if it didn't succeed, as long as the person came back.

"Mom, no, I've eaten it." Song Qiong did eat it, and even brought a few pieces of baked cakes back, and immediately took them out to coax Song Ying and Song Peng not to cry.

"I'm back, I'll stay honestly in the future, and from tomorrow, follow me to the dock to carry a big bag." Song Wengen stretched out his hand and patted it on the table, and Song Ying and Song Peng, who were screaming in excitement, hurriedly retracted into Shen Lanying's arms.

"Dad, your waist is sick, how can you carry things." Song Zhen stomped her feet, so anxious that tears fell down.

Shen Lanying sighed and said, "Yes, old Song, don't worry, I'll look for Director Shen tomorrow, my family Ah Qiong is also back, they can't repay the good people." ”

"Don't go, I don't want to do it anymore!"

Shen Lanying wanted to say something, but Song Qiong stretched out his hand and waved: "Mom, Dad is right, if you can explain it clearly, how can the society fire my dad without evidence?" I think someone wants to take the opportunity to clear a post so that someone else can get in. ”

At that time, not long after the great turmoil ended, the central authorities had just established the policy of taking economic construction as the center, social production and life had begun to get back on the right track, and too many people had no jobs and were waiting for arrangements.

"Nonsense!" Song Wengen got up suddenly, turned around and went to the inner room.

He may not be unclear, but he is unwilling to accept it.

He could leave the supply and marketing cooperatives and give up his position, but he couldn't accept this basin of sewage splashed on his head and bear the stigma of stealing public property.

"Hmph, those who are officials are not good people!" Song Zhen took a look at Song Qiong, caught up with Song Wengen, and also went to the inner room.

Shen Lanying's face was ugly and worried, Song Qiong reached out and hugged her shoulders and tightened it hard: "Mom, don't worry, I have a way, I'll go tell my dad." ”

Seeing Song Qiong walking inside, Shen Lanying opened her mouth, wanting to stop her, the father and daughter inside had never had a very good relationship with Song Qiong, worried that they would quarrel.

However, she didn't say anything after all, and sighed worriedly.

Song Qiong walked into the room and saw Song Wengen lying on the bed, and Song Zhen skillfully pounded his waist.

Song Wengen's waist was a problem when he was a porter in his early years, and the problem was lumbar muscle strain, and there was a little lumbar disc herniation.

In addition, he injured his legs and feet, so he retired from the carrying post.

"Let me do it!" Song Qiong ignored Song Zhen's cold eyes, squeezed her away, occupied her position just now, and lifted the back of Song Wengen's clothes, revealing her dark skin.

Song Qiong stretched out his hand, spread his ten fingers, pressed his thumb on the Kidney Yu acupoints on both sides of his waist, and skillfully rubbed it in a clockwise direction.

"Hmm-"

Song Wengen was in pain and let out a comfortable moan.

Song Zhen opened her mouth and was about to scold, but she was stunned and looked at Song Qiong dumbfounded: When will this guy take care of people?

"Dad, don't worry, I have a way to let you clear your name." Song Qiong said while rubbing Song Wengen's waist.

Song Zhen pursed her lips: "You know bragging, what can you do?" ”

Song Qiong glanced at Song Zhen and smiled: "Actually, it's simple, just catch the real thief." ”

"You said it lightly, the police can't catch it, can you catch it?"

"I can really catch it.";
