Xiao Lang, Liu Youjin, and Gong Zijun took the forged documents and successfully passed the gate guard of the Salt Lake Labor Camp and walked out in an upright manner.
They couldn't believe it was true until they got on the tractor.
"The management of the farm has been in chaos for a long time, and it's not surprising that people are overstaffed."
Xiao Lang said.
He was the planner and leader of the escape, and he must have done some research.
At first they were a little worried, and looked back from time to time, fearing that the pursuing motorcycles would arrive.
Facts have proved that this was sheer worry.
The first thing the three of them thought of was to go home.
Their families all lived in the provincial capital.
Going from Salt Lake Farm to the provincial capital required four transfers, which was very troublesome because it was difficult to travel without a letter of introduction.
Fortunately, they had the official seal of the carrot and the letterhead from the Labor Reform Bureau. , it is still very easy to forge a letter of introduction.
Three comrades, Xiao Rufeng, Liu Siguo and Gong Hanlin, are cadres of our bureau.
They are going to the provincial capital to perform official duties.
Please cooperate with them.
Behind them is the signature of the director of the labor camp and a bright red official seal.
This letter of introduction is of great use. ,and Reform-through-labor prisoners are paid wages.
Xiao Lang and Liu Youjin have been reformed for ten years and have accumulated dozens of dollars, which is more than enough to buy a ticket.
Moreover, the three of them are big shots who have seen the world.
They have good temperament and demeanor.
There is no point in pretending to be cadres.
Mistakes.
So I first transferred to Beitai in fear.
The devastated city was completely different from the garden city in my memory.
There were no street trees on both sides of the road, only bare tree stumps.
The riverside was deserted, and the camphor forest was nowhere to be seen.
Slogans and slogans were painted on the buildings along the street. , the pedestrians on the road were all cheerful, and the loudspeakers of the radio were playing exciting marches.
The three old guys looked at the strange but familiar city and were speechless for a long time.
Xiao Lang has a house in Beitai.
He suggested that he go there first to inquire about the situation and decide his next move.
The house is located on the original Boai Street.
When he went over, he saw that there were already several families living there.
They were all working-class families.
They were probably from After the houses were confiscated, the housing management bureau distributed them to people in need.
The three of them had nowhere to go, so they wandered aimlessly on the street.
Gong Zijun was hungry and wanted to buy a sesame seed cake to satisfy his hunger, but money alone was not enough.
He also had to have food stamps.
They were prisoners of labor reform, so how could they get food stamps?
Swallowing saliva, he walked away silently.
"Go sit in the waiting room of the train station.
The benches there are good for sleeping."
Liu Youjin suggested.
"The police station is so densely packed, it's too dangerous," Xiao Lang said.
"Then go to the park," Gong Zijun said.
"No, if these three big men are wandering around in the park, if someone sees them and reports them, we'll be finished."
"This won't work, that won't work either, where can I go?"

"Let's take a look."
Sino-Soviet relations broke down, and Khrushchev withdrew all the Soviet experts.
Not a single Soviet expert team from Chenguang Factory and Hongqi Factory was left.
The former Jiangwan Villa expert dormitory was empty and turned into a prefectural committee.
The first guest house.
Chen Bei and Ma Chunhua were notified to go to a meeting.
The door of the guest house was different from before.
There was a big five-pointed star on it, and next to it was a white wooden sign: Jiangbei Prefectural Committee No. 1 Guest House.
"This used to be my family's villa."
Chen Bei said to Ma Chunhua.
"Tsk, the bourgeoisie's sense of superiority is back."
Ma Chunhua dismissed it.
When they arrived at the building, Chen Bei asked Ma Chunhua to go in first and went to visit his old friend Da Zhuang.
Da Zhuang was a bear he had raised since he was a child.
He had participated in the Anti-Japanese War and had the rank of sergeant.
He was very understanding of human nature.
He could smoke and drink, and he could help with work.
After liberation, he kept him in Jiangwan Villa.
The Chen family hired someone to take care of him.
Bei often comes to see it too.
Time flies, Da Zhuang has entered his twilight years as a bear, and he is no longer as lively as before.
Especially during this period, people don't have enough to eat, let alone animals.
Chen Bei always has a vague feeling in his heart that Da Zhuang's days are numbered. .
When he came to the bear house, he saw workers cleaning the empty room.
Chen Bei hurriedly asked: "Where is Da Zhuang?"
The worker pointed behind him and said, "I was pulled away by someone from the kitchen."
When Chen Bei heard the word kitchen, blood rushed to his forehead.
He walked over and saw Da Zhuang tied tightly with iron chains.
There were four or five people standing next to him, with their sleeves rolled up and holding sharp knives and axes.
There was also a big man on the ground.
The basin was probably used to collect blood.
"Stop!"
Chen Bei shouted angrily and hurriedly stepped forward.
When Da Zhuang saw his old master coming, he let out a weak cry, and tears actually flowed from his eyes.
Chen Bei went to unlock the iron lock, but couldn't open it and shouted: "Bring the key" "Which unit are you from?
Why did you interfere with our bear slaughter?"
A man in a cadre uniform asked Chen Bei.
It was obvious that he was the leader.
"This is my bear, why do you kill it?"
Chen Bei asked.
The cadre sneered disdainfully: "When did the public bear become yours?
What a joke."
Chen Beidao: "Not only this bear, but also this house and this yard belong to my family."
The cadre nodded: "I understand, you are from the Chen family.
Since you want to argue, I will tell you that this villa was dedicated to the country by Chen Zikun.

It is now a state-owned asset.
This bear was donated together with the house.
It also belongs to the state and we have the right to dispose of it.
Now the country is in trouble and people don’t have enough to eat.
How can there be food to feed the animals. " Then he called to the cook: "Kill it for me."
Chen Bei's eyes turned red and he kicked him.
The cadre was thrown away, his cadre hat had fallen off, and he was covered in mud.
He pointed at Chen Bei and cursed: "You must take full responsibility for delaying the leader's illness."
"I'll bear you Male Gobi."
Chen Bei went up to beat him, but he was grabbed by a group of people.
Ma Chunhua also came after hearing the news, grabbed her husband and said, "Why are you crazy?
This is a trick of the prefectural committee."
"Whoever dares to touch Da Zhuang, I will kill him."
Chen Bei refused to listen to anyone and went berserk.
He grabbed the ax from the cook's hand and cut off the chain with all his strength, Da Zhuang regained his freedom.
Chen Bei didn't even leave the meeting, and left with his strength.
One person and one bear walked on the street, attracting countless eyes.
He couldn't go back to the Gaotupo Family Courtyard.
The place was too narrow and would disturb the neighbors.
Chen Bei put it Da Zhuang was brought directly to the factory and kept in a storage room outside the security office.
Ma Chunhua arrived later and had a big quarrel with Chen Beida.
The focus of the quarrel was how to feed this brown bear with a huge appetite.
There was no food for humans, let alone an animal.
Chen Bei also knew in his heart that he could not support Da Zhuang, but he was still very stubborn.
"Then just live with your bear and never go home."
Ma Chunhua finished her sentence and left.
Chen Beichong shouted at Ma Chunhua's back: "Don't do this, you think I'm afraid of you."
Looking back, Da Zhuangzheng stood up straight and whispered to himself.
The trade union talked to Chen Bei, and it turned out that the problem was still Dazhuang.
It turned out that the provincial leader Ma Yunqing had gallstones and needed bear bile treatment.
The bears in the zoo had long since starved to death, and there was only one living bear left in Dazhuang in the province.
For the health of the leader, the only choice is to sacrifice it.
"Anyway, that bear is old, so why not kill it to benefit the people?
Bear bile can cure diseases, bear paws can supplement nutrition, bear skin can be made into hats, and bear meat can be eaten.
The whole body of a bear is a treasure," said the union chairman. said.
The cadre who was kicked down by Chen Bei at the prefectural committee also came.
Probably because he was criticized by the leader, his attitude has now become very good.
"Comrade Chen Bei, I apologize for my bad attitude."
The cadre stood up and bowed to him.
The union chairman said: "Director Chen, please hand over the bear, it's waiting to be cooked."
Chen Beidao: "Dazhuang is a hero of the Anti-Japanese War.
He has received medals and no one can touch him."
The cadre said: "Hero of the Anti-Japanese War, why don't I know who awarded him the medal?"
Chen Zikun said: "Dazhuang is an artillery sergeant in the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.
He has made outstanding military exploits, which are recorded in the Nantai County Chronicle."

The cadre burst into laughter: "It turns out to be a bear from the Kuomintang army."
The union chairman also laughed: "Xiao Chen, don't talk about these joking things, let people take the bear away quickly."
"If I say no, it won't work.
There's no need to talk."
Chen Bei is famous for his bad temper in the factory.
Neither the party secretary nor the factory director can do anything to him, not to mention the chairman of the labor union.
So, they parted on bad terms again.
Chen Bei didn't go home that night and spent the night in the duty room.
The next morning, he went to the canteen to make some porridge.
He took the bowl to the storage room and wanted to feed Da Zhuang, but found that the bear he had raised since childhood had died. , Da Zhuang tore his throat open with his claws.
Chen Bei found a flatbed truck, dragged the lame body to the desert beach and buried it.
He smoked half a pack of cigarettes in front of the grave.
He felt very sad, but he couldn't explain why.
After sitting for a long time, Chen Bei staggered home.
His mother was playing with Chen Guang.
When his son saw his father coming home, he rushed over and asked his father to tell a story.
Even if Chen Bei was in a bad mood, he would become cheerful when he saw his son.
He sat in the yard with his son in his arms and said, "Dad, let me tell you a story about Soviet revisionists forcing debts."
This story is a folk tale circulated in the society and cannot be true.
Chen Bei also heard it from hearsay.
He didn't believe it at all, so he just used it as a way to entertain his children.
"The Soviets are not particular.
They specifically pick times when we are in trouble to press for debt.
Khrushchev had to count the scraps and scraps they sold to us during the war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea.
If he had no money, he would use grain and pork to offset the debt. " Chen Guang was seven years old.
He asked his father with innocent eyes: "Why are the Soviets so bad?"
Chen Beidao: "Why don't we call them Su Xiu?
They have always been bad guys.
They took over a piece of our boss's territory and refuse to pay it back.
Now they are demanding debts.
They are fucking more cruel than the King of Hell."
Chen Guang said: "Then shall we pay it back?"
"Repay it, we Chinese people are ambitious.
Premier Zhou said, doesn't he want pork?
Give him pig tails, so we gathered all the pig tails in the country and shipped a train full of them.
There were hundreds of carriages filled with them.
It’s all pig tails.”
"How many pigs are there?"
"It was more than one million.
After it was shipped to the Soviet Union, the sight of so many pig tails scared Khrushchev so much that he wet his pants."
Chen Guang burst out laughing, leaning back and forth, and suddenly asked his father: "How to eat pig tails?"
"Fried, steamed, hot, cold, there are so many ways to eat it."
"I don't want to eat pig tails, I want to eat braised pork."
"The country is in such a difficult situation, how can we have braised pork?"
"Dad is lying.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
There are so many pigs, how can there be no braised pork?"
Chen Bei couldn't answer this question, so he had to say: "Dad, let me tell you another story."
After finally coaxing the child to sleep, Chen Bei went out to relax.
When he saw three people walking towards him, he couldn't help but wonder: "Uncle Xiao, Uncle Liu, and Uncle Gong, when did you come out?"
