Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

On June 1970, 6, Zhang Yuan and six police officers came to the railway station, ready to carry out an important task - to repatriate people who had fled to the city of Beijing. Jia Zhang's name was prominently on the list of people to be repatriated.

Originally, the entire escort process went smoothly, but no one expected that a small accident would happen. And the protagonist of this accident was Jia Zhang.

Thinking back to the time when Jia Zhang had gone through untold hardships, she finally returned to the city of Beijing. As a result, she lost her home, and before she could even drink a sip of water, she had a quarrel with Qin Huairu. Later, she was taken back to the police station because of a fight. Her problem was discovered, and they immediately decided to send her back. The original plan was to send her away a month ago, but Jia Zhang was too troublesome. First of all, she was very mean and cursed everyone in the detention center. Those people didn't want to hit anyone because she was old, but just wanted to advise Jia Zhang not to curse. But Jia Zhang was in an excited state at the time, and she didn't listen to others at all, let alone the other party's warning. As a result, she was "kindly" massaged by the prisoners in the same cell all night.

However, it was hard to say whether Jia Zhang was lucky or not. Because she was beaten up all night, she felt unwell and fell seriously ill, which delayed her time to board the train for repatriation. She had to be delayed and stayed in the city for another month. Although her wish to stay in the city was temporarily fulfilled, it was not a good thing for her.

After recovering, Jia Zhang was sent back to the original detention room. The same room, the same group of people, the prisoners all had warm smiles on their faces. However, these smiles became demonic in Jia Zhang's eyes. Seeing the welcoming smiles of the prisoners in the room, Jia Zhang was so scared that she wet her pants. It was originally only necessary to suffer for one night, but now it was extended to a month. She couldn't imagine what kind of torture and suffering she would experience next.

Finally, the day she was taken away arrived, and the police were all very surprised. Jia Zhang looked even fatter than when she first came in, which made them wonder if the food here was too good. But in fact, only Jia Zhang herself knew that these days were like a nightmare for her.

The next step was roll call time. Everyone who was sent back to their hometown had to report their name and hometown. When Jia Zhang's name was called, she looked up and looked at the crowd in front of her, her heart filled with despair. However, when she saw that the leader was Zhang Yuan, a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart. So, Jia Zhang ran out of the team without hesitation and ran towards Zhang Yuan.

Jia Zhang's move shocked everyone present, especially the police officers in charge of the repatriation. They were worried that Jia Zhang would do something radical, and they all became nervous. The three repatriated people who were ready to take the opportunity to escape were also affected, and the scene fell into chaos.

"This Jia Zhang is really good at making trouble. He almost got me into trouble." Zhang Yuan cursed in his heart, but he still took quick action and, together with other colleagues, controlled those who tried to cause trouble. After some effort, order was finally restored.

"Zhang Yuan, please come and save me. I don't want to go back to the countryside. It's not a place for people. My home is in Sijiu City. Lao Jia and Dong Xu are both workers in the steel mill. They gave their lives for the factory. You can't drive away their relatives. I'm going to complain to you." Jia Zhang was pinned to the ground by two police officers. Because she was the one who started the riot, she was given special care. She struggled and shouted loudly.

The others also started arguing, talking about their own difficulties and hardships, and how they came to the city just to find a way to survive.

"Shut up, everyone!" Zhang Yuan was really annoyed with these people. They were obviously afraid of hard work and avoided commune production, but now they were saying that it was not easy for them.

"You say it's not easy for you, but is it easy for us?" Zhang Yuan looked at these people, his heart filled with helplessness and anger.

"We are also acting in accordance with the policy. If you do not have legal procedures, you must return to your place of origin. This is the national regulation and we cannot violate it," said Zhang Yuan.

"But we have lived in Beijing for so long. We have family and friends here. We don't want to go back," someone said.

"Then why did you come to Sijiu City in the first place?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"We are trying to survive and find better living conditions," someone answered.

"In the current environment, everyone is adding bricks and tiles to the country's construction and progress, but you, who are healthy and have all the limbs intact, are not working in the communes and villages to contribute to your hometowns. Instead, you are deserters, avoiding difficulties and not wanting to work hard. Yet you dare to flatter yourself." Zhang Yuan's eyes were wide open and his tone was stern. He glanced at the three people in front of him, as if he wanted to see through them.

He suddenly pointed at one of them, and that person was Huang Ermao. Like the other two people, Huang Ermao was also caught when he tried to escape just now. Zhang Yuan stared at Huang Ermao, his voice becoming more and more severe: "For example, you, Huang Ermao, there was a flood in your hometown some time ago, and the commune summoned young and strong people to control the river. This is such an important matter! But you are so good that you can't bear the slightest hardship. You just left your elderly parents at home and fled to the city. Originally, if you could find some odd jobs in the city to make a living, and go home to honor your parents when you have a promising future, I would not say anything to you. But, you are not law-abiding and do petty thefts! Do you know? What you did not only make us men lose face, but also bring shame to your poor parents! How dare you say these things here?"

Huang Ermao lowered his head, his face full of shame, not daring to look Zhang Yuan in the eye. He knew in his heart that he had indeed done something wrong, and now that he was exposed in public, he felt ashamed. The people around him cast condemning glances at him, making him feel extremely embarrassed and awkward.

Zhang Yuan's words directly exposed the true colors of these people, making it impossible for them to continue pretending to be innocent. At this time, Huang Ermao looked embarrassed. He lowered his head and dared not look at anyone, like a child who had done something wrong. The people around looked at Huang Ermao and the others with contempt in their eyes.

However, this was just the beginning. Zhang Yuan then pointed to several other people and revealed their true situations one by one. Among them was a man named Wang San, whose family was not actually poor, but he always wanted to take advantage of others; and another man named Li Si, who often did some shameful things secretly.

As Zhang Yuan called out the names, the noisy people shut up. They were all hurt by what Zhang Yuan said, and they no longer had the courage to refute. Even Jia Zhang, who had always been arrogant and domineering, was called out by Zhang Yuan. Her face flushed red, and she wanted to refute, but she didn't know what to say.

As time passed, the train gradually slowed down and slowly stopped at the platform. Then, the door of one of the carriages opened and a group of people walked out. These people were all repatriated personnel, and they were about to be sent back to the city.

Zhang Yuan and the other team leader began the handover work, and both sides carefully checked the list of people they were going to take.

Just then, Zhang Yuan noticed a name - Jia Geng.

Yes, this name is the missing gangster of Jia family who has been missing for five years. Back then, he stole Yi Zhonghai's passbook, swept away the huge amount of deposits inside, and disappeared from then on.

"Great joke." Zhang Yuan said softly.

Hearing the call, a short, lame young man immediately responded: "Here!"

Zhang Yuan stared at Bang Geng, who was completely different from before. He had become darker and thinner, which made Zhang Yuan feel a little suspicious. However, the person who was called was his nickname, so there was no doubt that the man in front of him was Jia Geng. Unexpectedly, after so many years of changes, he returned here with such a completely different appearance. His face was expressionless, and his hands were covered with various scars. Perhaps the injuries in other parts of his body were more serious.

"Banggeng, is it Banggeng? My dear grandson, I am your grandmother who loves you the most. Let me go and see him." At this time, Jia Zhang appeared again. She looked at Banggeng with tears in her eyes. Perhaps blood is thicker than water, she recognized Banggeng at a glance. When the police just let her go, she crawled to Banggeng, looked at him carefully, and hugged him with a relieved smile on her face. "It's Banggeng, my poor dear grandson, where have you been? You must have suffered a lot. It's all because of your useless mother that you have to live outside. Now don't be afraid, grandma is back, and grandma will take good care of you."

I don’t know if it was Jia Zhang’s words that worked, but Bang Geng, who had been silent all this time, was finally moved, and his cold expression showed a little loosening.

"Grandma..." Banggeng said hesitantly. After a pause of a few seconds, he reached out and hugged Jia Zhang and began to cry loudly.

"Grandma, I miss you so much. I'm so pitiful. I've been cheated. Not only did they take my money, they also sold me to work in the mine. They force me to work in the mines every day, like to whip me, and don't give me food." Banggeng poured out all the grievances he had suffered over the years.

While everyone was still moved by the reunion of the grandparents and grandchildren, Zhang Yuan learned another thing from the other police.

What Bang Geng said was indeed true, but there are many details that he did not reveal. Bang Geng felt ashamed because Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu had an affair, so he reported the two, but he was still dissatisfied. Later, Bang Geng secretly took Yi Zhonghai's passbook, withdrew all the savings in it, and then ran away with the money.

That's more than 10,000 yuan! For Bang Geng, this is simply an astronomical figure. He has never seen such a huge amount of money in his life, let alone touched it with his own hands. When he came to the bank to withdraw money, the staff kindly advised him not to withdraw all the money at once to avoid the risk of theft. However, at that time, Bang Geng was already overwhelmed by greed and impulse, and he didn't listen to any kind reminders at all. He stubbornly believed that he had the ability to protect this huge sum of money, so he resolutely left the bank with the money. In the following days, Bang Geng began to squander this wealth wantonly. Today he would go to the north alley to taste all kinds of food and sweep the entire street; tomorrow he would run to the west of the city to enjoy himself and spend money like water. But as time went on, he gradually realized that he might attract the attention of others. In order to avoid being discovered, Bang Geng decided to leave the city and take a bus to the suburbs.

Who could have thought? Banggeng's lavish spending in the past few days had already attracted the attention of interested people. Not long after he took the bus to the outskirts of the city, he was followed by someone. The kidnappers kidnapped Banggeng and found more than 9,000 yuan from him. The kidnappers were shocked by this huge sum of money. They had never expected that the "big fish" they caught today would be so plump. But at the same time, they began to worry: Could Banggeng's family be some big shot? If so, wouldn't they face revenge in the future? Fear and greed intertwined, and in the end, they gritted their teeth, knocked Banggeng unconscious, took him out of the province, went to a mine in another province, and sold him to a small mine.

Since that day, Banggeng seemed to have fallen from heaven to hell. Just a few days ago, he was living a carefree life, just like a hero in a novel. But now, he is imprisoned in this dim mine, crowded with more than 20 peers in a small and dilapidated wooden house. There is a bad smell here, which makes people feel suffocated. When sleeping at night, the sound of mosquitoes buzzing in his ears from time to time, and cockroaches crawling on the bed, making him unable to fall asleep. What's worse is that they are forced to leave the wooden house before dawn every day and go to the coal mine with tools to dig coal. For Banggeng, who has always been pampered, such heavy work is simply a torture. Not to mention digging coal, even simply swinging a shovel a few times will quickly cause blisters on his hands and unbearable pain. On the side, there are strict supervisors who are always supervising them. If they slack off or make mistakes, they will be beaten mercilessly. Bang Geng tried to resist, but faced with the great pain and fear brought by the whip soaked in salt water, he finally chose to surrender.

When the meal was finally served, Banggeng stared at the food in his hand with great joy, but when he saw the two steamed buns that were smaller than his fist, he was stunned. Not only did the two steamed buns smell bad, as if they had gone bad, but they were also mixed with something unknown. They were extremely dry and hard, making them difficult to swallow. It took a long time to chew each time before he could barely swallow a bite.

Banggeng stayed in this mine for less than a year. Later, because the owner of the mine offended someone, it was taken over by people from another larger mine. Those who disobeyed or wanted to resist were beaten to death. Banggeng and others were sent to another place where the environment was even worse. Banggeng thought about escaping, but he was caught. Before being put in a dog cage, someone broke his leg and locked him in the cage for seven days without giving him food or water. When he finally survived, his right leg was left with sequelae because he did not receive timely treatment.

There were many large and small unscrupulous mines in this area, and mergers and acquisitions were taking place every day. Finally, in a province-wide operation, these mines were sealed off, the masterminds and accomplices were shot, and those detained, such as Bang Geng, were sent home.
