On the morning of December 28, 1970, my mother received an assignment to work for a shipping company in the provincial capital.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, my mother and I went to the office building of the machine repair factory next to my house to find Mr. Cen and Uncle Lan to report the matter.

The four of us talked about this on the couch in Mr. Cen's office.

Teacher Cen said, "Alas! Magnolia! That's a good thing! Working in a company should be easier than working in a company! You are going to prepare for the move, the rice noodle shop and the repair shop will pay dividends, we will do it as soon as possible! So that you can get the dividend before you move! This time you will definitely have a lot of money to settle down in the provincial capital! ”

The mother said, "Thank you so much Teacher Cen!" Now, I don't know what role I will be in the company in the future! If I am in charge of managing the company, in the future, I will have to trouble Mr. Cen and Uncle Lan to help us manage the company! ”

Teacher Cen smiled and said, "This is no problem!" I've been very interested in shipping since I used to! Since Director Zhou Zhenguo left Daling Town, a new director has come to their factory, and the cooperation between the new director and us is not as smooth as before! A lot of materials and accessories are starting to stop supplying us! Even if it is supplied, the price has increased a lot! In addition, the town will set up its own machine repair shop next year to compete with us for business! Therefore, our business in Daling Town will definitely become more and more difficult in the future! If you are in charge of this shipping company, we will move the factory to the provincial capital! There are many units in the provincial capital, and there are many people, so business should be better than here! ”

Uncle Lan said, "Yes! Now, the kids have grown up too! Everyone is nested in this small place in Daling Town! In the future, their development will also be restricted! Now, Zu Xing and Caixia, Lan Feng and Lian have established a relationship! If, the matter of my sister-in-law in the provincial capital can be settled! We have a base for the development of the provincial capital! Therefore, I am very supportive of Mr. Cen's idea! ”

The mother said, "Yes! In this way, I will strive to be the head of this shipping company! In addition, we also have a signboard of an electromechanical company in the provincial capital, and I heard that I am going to take over the shipping company is also a signboard, so we have two shell companies! When the time comes, we will discuss how to invest in the business! ”

Teacher Cen smiled and said, "That's great! Yulan! You can boldly put this company next! When the time comes, let's invest and operate together! It's man-made! A blank piece of paper is easy to write! Right? Ahh ”

I said, "You adults can do things!" I wish all the bosses a successful start and success! ”

Everyone laughed!

After New Year's Day in 1971, our photo studio carried out year-end settlement and dividends, and our after-tax profit was 26,800 yuan!

It turns out that the share structure of the photo studio is that I account for 38%; Sister Caiyan accounted for 22%; Xiaoda and Yanfang each have 20% of the shares, and since Yanfang is gone, we adjust the shares to 46%; 30%; Sister Caiyan accounted for 24%.

We have set aside 2,800 yuan as working capital for the next year's operation, and 24,000 yuan for dividends.

I got it, 11,040 yuan;

Xiaoda shared, 7,200 yuan;

Caiyan shared, 5760 yuan.

After I got the dividends, I gave Mr. Cen and the sixth master 500 yuan each of the filial piety red envelopes, and they all happily accepted it.

I gave the remaining 10,040 yuan to my mother.

I went with my mother to the dividend meeting of the machine shop and the rice noodle shop.

The total dividend of the machine repair factory: 128,000 yuan.

The Qin family accounted for 40% of the shares and received 51,200 yuan;

The Cen family accounted for 35% of the shares and received 44,800 yuan;

The Lan family accounted for 25% of the shares and received 32,000 yuan.

The total dividend of the rice noodle shop: 9,000 yuan.

The Qin family accounted for 40% of the shares and received 3,600 yuan;

The Cen family accounted for 35% of the shares and received 3,150 yuan;

The Lan family accounted for 25% of the shares and received 2,250 yuan.

In this way, the mother got 64,840 yuan in cash!

On the night of the end of the dividend, our family had a year-end summary and moving meeting.

Mother presided over the meeting, and Mama Wei, me, Jing Di and Lilan all participated!

Mother said, "Last year! Except for my salary income does not count! Our family earned a total of 67,465 yuan! The whole expenditure of the family is 1850 yuan! At this time last year, our family's bank deposit ah! There were two ten-year fixed deposits with an annual interest rate of 10.5%, one was 15,000 yuan, and the interest income was 1,575 yuan from February 25, 1969 to February 25, 1979; a sum of 30,000 yuan, from February 3, 1970 to February 3, 1980; The interest on these two deposits to be received in February this year is 4,725 yuan! Now, there are still 3,545 yuan in cash in the bank! As a result, we now have a total of $71,010 in cash! By the end of February this year, my cash reached 75,735 yuan! This year's Chinese New Year is January 27th, and we are ready to move on January 31st! So, during this time, we are going to get ready to move! ”

Wei's mother said, "Okay! We're finally back in the provincial capital! We need money to move, and we don't want to deposit this money in the bank for the time being! I thought, let's settle down in the provincial capital this time, or buy a house of our own, so that we can live more steadily! Just hand over this house in Daling Town to relatives to help us take care of it! Here, there are not many opportunities for us to come back and stay permanently in the future! ”

The mother said, "Yes! During this time, I asked acquaintances to help us find a house in the provincial capital! Now, housing prices in provincial capitals are not expensive! We should be able to buy a good house! Here, the house will be handed over to the Jia family to help us take care of it! The Jia family is a relative of the Qin family! ”

Wei's mother said, "Alas! It's easy! We'll just pack some valuables, clothes and daily necessities! Leave everything else to the Jia family! Other items to be used in the settlement, we buy new ones in the provincial capital! ”

Lilan cried and said, "Mother! I can't bear to leave here! When are we leaving? In the future, what will happen to the relatives here! I'll miss them every day! ”

Wei's mother hugged Lilan and said, "Alas! Lilan! We don't want to leave! Your mom is going to work in a provincial city! We have to go with her! Do you understand?! This home is still our home! In the future, we often come back to visit our relatives! It's just that we have one more in the provincial capital! You know? ”

Lilan said, "Yes! Wei Ma! You say that, I get it! We're going to help mom cook! Brothers are going to help mom with the work! Is it? ”

The mother smiled and said, "Alas! Lilan is getting smarter! Rest assured! In the future, you will love the provincial capital! There are more places to play there than in Daling Town! The schools there are also much better schools here! Lilan, I'll send you to study when you get to the provincial capital! All right? ”

Lilan smiled and said, "Okay! I love to read! In the future, I will be classmates with Brother Jing Di! ”

Jing Di smiled and said, "Oops! What kind of classmates?! I'm your senior! You know? ”

Everyone laughed!

The morning after the end of the dividend, Xiaoda came to our house.

After Xiaoda entered the house, he immediately talked to me alone.

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Ah Cai! I heard my father say, your family is moving to the provincial capital? ”

I said, "Yes! My mother has a job transfer! Our whole family is going to go with her! ”

Xiaoda said: "Ah Cai! We're good friends, aren't we?! Good brother?! I want to go with you! I can't leave you, and I don't want to mess around in this small place in Daling Town! ”

I said, "Alas! Xiaoda! Actually, my mother's workplace is an empty shell! When we get to the provincial capital, we still have people who do business and make a living! Although there are many people in the provincial capital, we are strangers there, and we are not familiar with the place, what kind of business can we do?! After all, we still need a photo studio in Daling Town, which can help us make money, right?! So, to be on the safe side, you'd better stay in Daling Town! ”

Xiaoda said: "Alas! Now, the photo studio thing, Sister Caiyan will do it! Anyway, I don't care, I'll go to the provincial capital with you! ”

I said, "Alas! Xiaoda! There are some things I can tell you! Our family has a lot of enemies in the provincial capital! You should know about this, right?! These enemies, knowing that we are in the provincial capital, will definitely come to harm us! Got it?! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Alas! Let's just take more guys to the provincial capital! They don't want to look for us, I still want to go to them, I really want to avenge your father! My dad often told me that your dad was his leader and the benefactor of our family! If so, you should take me with you! Doing this kind of thing is similar to hunting! One more person, the power is different! ”

I said, "Alas! Actually, you're determined to go! I can't stop you! So, in the future, what will we do with the photo studio? We're going to leave you a way back! In case we can't get along in the provincial capital, we have to go back to Daling Town! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Alas! It's easy! The photo studio is mainly watched by Sister Caiyan, as well as Sister Caixia, Li'an, Brother Zu Xing and Brother Lan Feng can help her! Let's go! Let's go to your mother together and say, I'm going to go to the provincial capital with you to fight the world! ”

I smiled and said, "Okay! I'll go with you to my mom! If she agrees, we'll do it together! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Ah Cai! You're doing this enough buddy! You can't dump your brother! Do you understand?! ”

Everyone laughed!

I went to find my mother, who happened to be at home with Wei's mother to pack up and move.

I asked my mother to come to the living room of the house to talk to Xiaoda.

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Aunt! Ah Cai and I are brothers in life and death, I want to go to the provincial city with you to live! Ah Cai has agreed! Do you think it's okay? ”

The mother smiled and said, "Alas! You are indeed inseparable brothers! If you are separated, everyone will be uncomfortable! Well, you go and tell your parents if they agree! Just come back and tell me! Tomorrow, I'm going to migrate the Qin family's household registration and personal files! If you go to the provincial capital with us, your household registration will be settled in the Qin family! You know? ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "I know! Only those in the city want commercial food to eat! Right? ”

The mother smiled and said, "Yes! Big cities aren't like us! How can we live in such a place without commercial grain and commodity supply tickets! ”

So, Xiao and I arrived at the office building of the machine shop next to our house.

There, we found Uncle Lan and Aunt Lotus, and we talked together in Uncle Lan's office.

Xiao Da told Uncle Lan and Aunt Lotus about his idea of going to the provincial capital with us, and the content of his conversation with me and my mother.

Uncle Lan smiled and said, "Okay! Sooner or later, we will have to leave Daling Town and go to the provincial capital to develop! Xiaoda! Go and tell your aunt right away, we agree!" In the future, you can be regarded as a child of the Qin family! ”

I smiled and said, "Uncle Lan! Auntie! Xiaoda is still your child! Mother is just for Xiaoda's ration problem! ”

Aunt Lotus smiled and said, "Oops! Ah Cai is really a sensible and good boy! Xiaoda! In the future, you have to learn more from Ah Cai! Listen to my aunt! You know? ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Dad! Mom! You can rest assured! The provincial capital is not very far from Daling Town! We'll go home and see you whenever we have time! ”

After the conversation, we went home and told my mother about the outcome of the conversation.

The mother smiled and said, "Xiaoda! You agreed! Tomorrow, I'll help you get an account! In the future, you will be called Qin Xiaoda! It's Ah Cai's cousin! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Okay! I'm going to get my stuff right away! And he lives in Qin's house! ”

The mother smiled and said, "Xiaoda! It doesn't have to be this way! You'd better spend more time with your parents! I'll let you know when I'm gone! ”

Xiaoda said, "It's okay! I don't have anything either! It's just a few clothes and a few books! I'll come over and help you pack your things! ”

In this way, Xiaoda went to the provincial capital with us, and the matter was decided!

Wei Ma, Jing Di and Lilan were also very happy when they knew that Xiaoda was going to go to the provincial capital with us!

However, I can't be happy, because my mother is an agent, and her mission in the provincial capital is to establish the Southwest Secret Service Station of the Mainland Headquarters, preparing to eradicate Mr. Tao and their gang of overseas spies!

And we don't want Xiaoda who has nothing to do with this matter to get involved, because spy warfare is really too dangerous!

......

After that, Xiaoda and I handed over the ledger of our management of weapons, ammunition and equipment to Mr. Cen.

Teacher Cen asked us to do the handover of these materials with Brother Zu Xing.

For the handover of materials, I, Xiaoda and Brother Zu Xing specially rode to Nali Village, and the cave warehouse in the backyard of Jia Ye's house made a list of materials.

Brother Zu Xing said: "Alas! You're going to the provincial capital! My dad said, you take away four sets of long and short guys, a set of radios, a jeep and other supplies at home! Then you get 5,000 rifle bullets and 3,000 short gun bullets from here! That's enough for you for a while! ”

I said, "Okay! Thank you Mr. Cen and Brother Zu Xing! ”

Brother Zu Xing said: "Ah Cai! You're welcome! It's the material and your dad is credit! We are family! In the future, no matter what, we will do it together! ”

So, after loading the ammunition box in the horse bag of the three horses, we said goodbye to Jia Ye and returned to the Qin family.

Back at home, after Zu Xingge unloaded the ammunition box in his horse bag, he went back to work in the factory.

After Brother Zu Xing left, Xiaoda and I began to maintain, pack and pack weapons and equipment that were not commonly used at home.

We pack, number, and label the materials to be moved, which are all material management operations that we learned at military school.

After the weapons and equipment were packed and packed, Xiaoda, Jing Di and Lilan began to pack and pack our books, textbooks and stationery.

Once the public supplies were packed, I began to pack and pack my confidential belongings.

My confidential belongings are the small wooden box that I made myself, which contained forty gold bars, a remade film, photos of Tao's provincial city, my homemade family codebook film, and four English manuals for coding and decoding that Mr. Tao picked up at home!

After I checked the items correctly, I nailed the small wooden box with nails!

I put this wooden box back in my clothes box and locked the clothes box.

Then, I started to mark the film negatives I had photographed and put them in a dim sum tin box.

And wrap the dim sum tin box and put it in a wooden box with our photo album and photos of our home.

Finally, my two sets of cameras, one is a domestic camera given to me by Mr. Cen, and the other is an imported camera given to me by Uncle Zhou; a military imported luminous watch, which is one of the rewards of military training; A set of military high-powered binoculars and other treasures are packed, and these treasures are placed in my marching backpack.

.....

At around 9 o'clock in the morning, my mother asked me and Xiaoda to go to Daling Primary School to go through the transfer procedures for me, Xiaoda and Jingdi.

Xiaoda, and Jing Di and I went to the principal of Daling Primary School to go through the transfer procedures.

After we completed the transfer procedures, we went to say goodbye to Cai Jinghua, who was attending classes at school.

Cai Jinghua said: "Alas! I envy you! You can go to the big city to study and live! And how long am I going to stay in this mountain town? ”

I said, "Alas! Jinghua! You have a good book here! We are relatives! In the future, we will mix up and take you to the big city to work together! If it doesn't mix well, we'll be back! This is our hometown! ”

Cai Jinghua smiled and said, "Okay! Last time you opened a photo studio, I fell behind! This time, I will follow you closely and never be left behind! I'll wait until you come and pick me up! My father must be very happy to know that you still recognize me as a brother! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Alas! Cai Jinghua! You're a good person! However, you are too concerned about face! It's a little timid! In the future, hone and hone yourself! People who don't want to work hard in this world will never have a good day! Yes! In the future, we have found a way to make a fortune, and we will definitely take you to make a fortune! ”

Everyone laughed!

After saying goodbye to Cai Jinghua, we left the school and went to Teacher Cen's house to visit Teacher Cen and Mrs. Mao.

When we arrived at Cen's house, Mrs. Mao and the others were all at work, and Mr. Cen was the only one at home.

Teacher Cen let us drink tea and chat together in the scripture pavilion in the backyard.

Teacher Cen said: "Ah Cai, Xiao Da and Jing Di! You're going to study and live in the provincial capital! But be sure to listen to your mom there! Don't think about anything else! Ahh I know you've been thinking about avenging your father! It's a very difficult thing to do, it's very dangerous! The person who dares to attack his father must be a wicked person with great ability! With our current few guys, it's certainly not their match! We stared at them, in fact, they kept staring at us! Whoever makes the mistake first will surely be doomed! We can't do it anymore! Now, we only have a few dozen lives left in our capital, live well, wait for the opportunity, and don't make meaningless sacrifices! Do you understand? ”

I said, "Teacher Cen! Thank you for your teachings! I know! You have to be patient, I'll wait for the opportunity, when the opportunity comes, I'll kill them! I'm definitely not going to drag you down! Please rest assured! ”

Teacher Cen said, "Okay! Protect your mother! When you arrive in the provincial capital, you are the only three men in the family! Keep your head low and be prepared! ”

......

On January 26, 1971, Chinese New Year's Eve, after more than 20 days of packing and tidying, our preparations for moving were all completed. Xiaoda also returned to Cen's house to celebrate the New Year with his parents and other family members.

At home, my mother and Wei's mother cook Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

I, Jing Di and Lilan were pasting Spring Festival couplets, hanging lanterns, and preparing firecrackers and fireworks to be set off at midnight.

After we finished our work, we had coffee and chatted in the living room at home.

Lilan smiled and said, "Alas! Brother Acai! Respectfully! Mom said that the provincial city is very big! I'll get lost if I walk around! Is it? ”

Jing Di said, "Definitely! When we arrived in the provincial capital, we had to learn to read the map and remember the street names and house numbers at home! If you get lost, ask the police for directions! Do you understand? ”

I said, "Yes! There are more people in the city! There are people who do everything! There are traffickers, scammers and thieves there, etc.! If, when we encounter these bad guys, we will be unlucky if we are not careful! ”

Lilan said: "This matter, Wei's mother told me that human traffickers are specifically deceiving children!" Scammers love to talk rhetoric! It will deceive people out of money! A thief is to climb over the wall to break into the house or in the downtown area, and steal money from pedestrians! Wei's mother said, you will take me with you when you go there in the future, so that I will be fine! You know? ”

Everyone laughed!

On January 29, the third day of the Lunar New Year, our family went to my father's grave to inform him about our move.

On January 30, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiaoda and I maintained the family jeep and filled it with gasoline.

In the evening, after dinner, our whole family, as well as Xiaoda, had a family meeting together.

Mother said: "Early tomorrow morning, Ah Cai and Xiaoda will drive with me to the provincial capital to report and buy a house with weapons and equipment!" Wei's mother, Jing Di and Lilan are guarding at home! After we bought the house, Ah Cai and Xiaoda drove people back to Daling Town to move! Wei Mama! Tonight, you're in charge of counting and counting the things that everyone is carrying! Make a moving checklist! ”

Wei's mother said, "Okay! The relocation list was already made by me and Ah Cai a few days ago! Tonight, we'll just check again! ”

After the meeting, Wei's mother and I checked the packaging and items to be moved according to the moving list, and after we were not there, everyone went to rest.

Early in the morning of January 31, Xiaoda and I loaded our automatic rifles, pistols and other weapons and equipment and ammunition onto the jeep.

Wei's mother, Jing Di and Lilan helped me carry the dry food and water to the car.

Xiaoda and I put on all the jeep tarps so that the jeep can be sheltered from the wind and rain!

The mother wore his overalls and carried a heavy briefcase.

Xiaoda and I put on the jackets, trousers, leather shoes, and caps that Aunt Xue gave me, and we are already like big city children!

After the three of us said goodbye to Wei's mother, Jingdi and Lilan, we got in the car and left home!

In this way, we left Daling Town and set off along the road to the provincial capital, and we were going to follow our mother to work hard!
