Chapter 63: The Bad Roots of the Educated Youth's Return to the City

It is not easy for the educated youth to return to the city, not only to get the hukou to the countryside first, but also to fake the divorce if there is a family, what children can return to the city can be settled in the city first, the two have discussed going to the court for divorce, and the property is not disputed and they will leave, and then remarry after the educated youth who return to the city have done everything, and the whole family will achieve the ultimate goal of returning to the city and settling down.

When the train started slowly, the male intellectuals waved to her (the lover of the fake divorce) in the window, and shouted: "In vain!" Since then, he has taken away not only the property, but especially the children who belong to her. After being married for so many years, I only got a divorce paper, and I regretted that I had a nervous breakdown, jumped into a well, hanged myself, and died. Who took away her mother-son love? Who took away the path of her life? Who took away her young life? Is it a male intellectual? Or is it a return to the city?

Dapeng did not do a fake divorce, the household registration, grain relations, and files were all helped by the secretary of the brick factory, and special care was given to supply flour for his whole family for a year, although the leaders of the regiment headquarters did not have cadres to participate, but instructed the secretary and the cadres and workers of the brick factory to beat gongs and drums to hold a farewell ceremony, and sent a car to move him to the railway station for consignment.

Dapeng wanted to return to the city openly, and before leaving, he not only went to the third camp with Huaying, but also visited friends and neighbors for many years. Wang Xingquan reported that his wife Jiang Li, who was sentenced to 12 years in prison, came back, and when he was in the regiment headquarters, Wang Xingquan never stopped sending money to the prison and asked Dapeng to write a letter to her, especially for Xiao Wang Qiang, who was more than his own child, which was more than ten years of parenting. But when the child grew up, he forgot his roots and left, and went to find his father, but after his wife was released from prison, he was resolutely able to return to Wang Xingquan's side to reunite.

At the father-in-law's house in Sanying, Dapeng said that the two old people must not be abandoned, and that after a year, regardless of whether the household registration is implemented, they must also be taken to the city in difficulty. Dapeng's mother-in-law is an old lady with small feet who is five years older than her father-in-law, and her face is full of wrinkles due to the vicissitudes of history. Although his father-in-law is retired, he only has a pension of 27 yuan per month, but although he has suffered and suffered through those difficult and difficult pasts, he has worked all his life by labor, although he is now in his sixties, he still rides a bicycle every day, goes to the regiment headquarters and various company camps to resell eggs, and each egg can only earn a penny, but that is also his desire to pursue and enjoy life.

Speaking of bicycles, it was bought by Dapeng when he returned to Qi to visit relatives, it was a Changbaishan brand bicycle, and he went to the railway station to check it in that day, and almost lost the bicycle. Qiqihar Railway Station is to be rebuilt, and the temporary train room will be replaced by the gymnasium in the south of the square, where of course the conditions and passengers are very chaotic. Dapeng is riding a bicycle to the back of the toilet, because the car is put outside the toilet in a hurry, just into the dark toilet heard movement outside, Dapeng is running out with pants, the person is already on his feet to ride, Dapeng just one hand to hold the shelf, which avoids the danger of bicycle theft, to say that the reconstruction of the new railway station, it must be better than the Japanese period to build a seven-story refractory brick. It is said that when Japanese militarism occupied the country, it was also designed and built by Chinese engineers for the war effort, and the basement of the station leads to the monument to national shame more than ten miles away. It was only in 1958 that the monument was blown up and the Workers' Cultural Palace was rebuilt. When the railway station built by the former Japanese coercion was completed, what you saw on the plane was a "medium" shaped building, which was completely a patriotic masterpiece of the engineer. Therefore, the old station cannot be bombed, and it must be kept forever, leaving the most precious patriotic commemorative station building for future generations.

There is a reason why Dapeng returned to the city, Qiqihar is his hometown that he has forgotten to return to - memories of his mother. And when he left the corps, he was even more nostalgic, the most regrettable thing was that Sheng Yaqin was only 29 years old and had gone, she left this world in deep disgust, Dapeng and Hua Ying left the third camp with a heavy heart. When they boarded the train with the children, and the wheels started slowly, they shed tears of nostalgia for Sheng Yaqin. Goodbye -- the 39th Division Production and Construction Corps! There is a bittersweet and bitter life of Dapeng for 15 years.

Qiqihar - a beautiful and rich city, it is the second largest heavy industry production base in Northeast China, where there are not only vehicle factory, Weidong factory, the first machine tool factory, the second machine tool factory, Jianhua Machinery Factory, Beiman Steel Factory, Fularji Textile Factory and China's first heavy machinery factory, that is the country's 10,000 workers of the treasure factory, but also the hometown of Dapeng since the founding of the People's Republic of China for 18 years, where there are many good memories of his childhood and school years, how terrible the changes in the 15 years after his farewell....

The road of life is full of ups and downs, joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows, and there is no shortage of different experiences in various periods on this historical stage. Dapeng was to make contributions to the renewal of the XPCC's brick factory machinery after handling the transfer of educated youths to return to the city, with a sense of responsibility did not do a fake divorce, is it with the whole family can implement the household registration? Finally, can he bring his parents-in-law to reunite with the heavy burden, full of desire for a better future, with his wife and daughter back to his dream hometown.

Director Xu is the person in charge of the brick factory sent by the real estate section, he arranged a house for the Dapeng family in the urban office, and every day Dapeng and the factory workers take a commuter bus to the brick factory, and send his eldest daughter to the second primary school of the railway. Half a month later, the brick factory arranged a place for Dapeng, and it is about 20 miles away from the city, the eldest daughter she only took the train to the primary school for the children of railway workers, and the real estate section gave a train commuter permit, in order to go to school only by train, Huaying did some odd jobs in the brick factory, and the family settled down.

The work of the brick factory is in intense production, Dapeng has a total of ten people in the clamp electrician group, two retired masters sent by Duan Li earn high wages, the lathe and electrical welders are two female comrades who are nearly forty years old, and then there are apprentices for the children of workers. Most of the workers in the factory are the families and children of the workers, and the production of the brick factory is to manually bulldoze the stuffy material, and each cart must be mixed with ash, pile and water with a shovel, and then use a small cart to put the soil on the way of primitive and backward production the next day, and only 40,000 billets can be completed every day. In particular, there is only one mixer, and the artificial mixing of ash into the soil does not have the effect of internal combustion of red bricks at all.

In order to cater to the collective sense of fitters, he can only replace the reamer, maintain the machine, and twist the mud line or something. The apprentices rushed to twist the mud line, 60 pieces an hour, and their hands were often pierced by the mud line and bled out, Dapeng made a mud line machine, which could complete 150 pieces per hour, and people said that he was a technician who was transferred, and he only worked with extra care.

There is a document in the city that stipulates that it must be 80 years to return to the city, because it is all 82 years of procedures, what should I do? Scrape the eraser with a knife to rub off 2, refill 0 is not good, use a pot to steam alkali blisters and then dry, become a paper pattern two years ago, even if it is 100% unqualified after testing, especially fake divorce papers, there are all kinds of things, Dapeng doesn't care about that set, the three certificates are thrown to the Educated Youth Office.

The real estate section of the Zhiqing Office asked for the household registration book, the police station and the school's certificate, Dapeng went to his stepparents' house and said that he wanted the household registration book, but the stepmother resolutely refused, as if he wanted to divide her family property, the stepfather seemed to be unable to be a home, the household registration book was hidden by the stepmother, or the stepmother's son Dachuan wanted to come out, Dapeng said gratefully: "Dachuan, I promise not to have a penny in the family, as long as the household registration is implemented, I will start another household." ”

Although the police station and the railway middle school have issued certificates, Dapeng handed over the three certificates of household registration and files to the Educated Youth Office. And the stepmother went to Duan Li for three days and two ends, Liu Jiayi also went to the educated youth office to ask for a household registration, Duan collective office Wei Qingfu said that it had been handed over to the Municipal Labor Bureau, because the stepmother and mother were always looking for it, Wei Qingfu said that the household registration book was lost, and they scolded again, and Dapeng could no longer go back to the South Bureau house. However, the Labor Bureau came to inform that because Zhang Dapeng did not get a divorce, he was not allowed to settle down if he had a family. What to do?

The first batch of educated youths transferred to the city and the Labor Bureau did not approve it, Zhang Dapeng looked for the Railway Bureau's Educated Youth Office, and Director Zhou Jianhu comforted him: "Your situation is that the leader has something to say, and there is a second batch, now that you have a job, it is equivalent to returning to the city." My five children went to the countryside, and now four of them have returned to the city, and sooner or later I have to implement it for you, don't worry. ”

Dapeng came to the Railway Central Hospital again, and Chairman Li of the trade union checked Sun Wenxiu's file, which did record that he had given Dapeng a pension after his death in 1960, and it was originally scheduled that Gong Dapeng would go to university and arrange to work in the hospital after graduation. Chairman Li said: "Since the real estate section has been transferred back to the city, they can only wait for them to come back to me. ”

The question of Dapeng's succession is outdated, because the railway bureau has documents, and all retirements and deaths of more than one year will be treated as attrition, of course, that indicator will be occupied by other people, and now it cannot be traced, and Dapeng can only ask the chairman of the trade union for the photos in his mother's file as a souvenir. For the passage of the two attrition indicators, Dapeng went to the secretariat of the Railway Bureau many times, and Director He Huaiying could only file a case to organize research and let me wait.

Dapeng only has a salary of a few dozen yuan a month, and he can't even solve the problem of grain in his own household registration, so what should he do when he finishes eating that bit of white noodles? Most of the educated youths who have returned to the city are doing business, and they even earn a month's salary every day, and some of them take a train to Jiangqiao to carry fish, and when they come back, they earn dozens of yuan for wholesale to the dealers. They don't want to implement the hukou work, they just want to make a lot of money, and the task of the brick factory is tense Dapeng is only busy with machinery.

Dapeng's hukou was not implemented, and the second girl had also reached the age of going to school, so he had to ask the former railway middle school teacher Gui for help and arrange it in the fifth railway primary school in front of the station, and since then the two daughters have taken the commuter bus to go back and forth to school. Due to the high price of food for the whole family, life is extremely difficult, and her lover Huaying takes a slab in the brick factory. Although he later brought his father-in-law to work in a brick factory to fill his life, this is not a long-term solution.

Dapeng came to the railway bureau many times to petition, saying that his parents could not take over the shift in both places, but the secretary only recorded and asked for instructions. On this day, Dapeng broke into the office of the director on the fourth floor, no one was there, he walked into a hall, many people were working, he suddenly saw a particularly familiar person talking, after inquiry, he knew that it was the director of the railway and the director of the municipal labor bureau talking, what a good opportunity, but in front of the public, he could not disturb the director, he waited patiently. But he never expected that the two directors would go downstairs together and leave in the car. He suddenly remembered that the person he knew was not the same person he met on the train when he married Hua Ying? If he had recognized him just now, how good would he be able to say a few words? Since then, there has been a person guarding the entrance of the building, and he has never seen the director again.

Could this be the will of heaven? Why is it so difficult for educated youths to return to the city? Why do they move their XPCC's household registration to the rural areas? Why do they have to change their household registration to 80 years when they return to the city in 1982? Why do educated youths who are married have to go for a fake divorce? Should they become monks and not get married after 15 years in the countryside? Isn't this the inferior root of the fact that educated youths return to the city after turning around? Dapeng does not believe in any providence, and must learn from Lei Feng's spirit and not be discouraged, as long as he contributes to his actual work, he will certainly be able to solve all problems.
