Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

Jia Dongxu had been sneezing non-stop on the morning of the first day of junior high school. "I must have drunk too much last night and didn't cover myself with the quilt properly after falling asleep, so I caught a cold," Jia Dongxu thought to himself. How could he have imagined that his name would be mentioned once or twice this morning, and both times were negative examples.

The New Year was over, and now Jia Dongxu had a bicycle. On the second day of the New Year, he took his mother back to Zhangjia Village, paid New Year's greetings to his uncles, kowtowed to his grandfathers, and then returned to Beijing with everyone in the afternoon.

Life goes on, day by day.

The time came to 1966. The revolution in Kaliman Island had long ended and the Republic of Lan Fang had been established for two years. Lou Weihua went there and became the first president of the democratically elected government.

The revolutions in Southeast Asia were all successful, and Chinese organizations in various places established socialist countries. In the past few years, Zhang Dabao went to the West once a year to collect their weapons and equipment, and then sold them to these revolutionary groups. He also went to Russia twice. Russia had more and more advanced weapons, so while Zhang Dabao was making money, the strength of the armed forces in various parts of Southeast Asia was also greatly enhanced.

Hong Kong and some labor-intensive industries have moved to the Republic of Lan Fang. Hong Kong has now become a central city for science and technology, finance, and tourism. Polluting enterprises cannot operate here.

Many factories have closed down, but the tertiary industry has developed rapidly, driving more people to start businesses and find jobs, so people's living standards have further improved.

Zhang Dabiao still likes to stay in Hong Kong, because Hong Kong has close exchanges with the rest of the world, convenient transportation, and the most smooth information flow. He came here in 1966. Zhang Dabiao has been paying attention to the situation there. He is also afraid that his brothers and sisters will be attacked by people with ulterior motives.

Someone once said that the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen.

After processing several documents in the office, Zhang Dabao received a message that Zhang Cuihua and Jia Dongxu were arrested. The reason given was treason, because Jia Dongxu's wife and children were not in the country and they often corresponded with each other.

The call was from Li Huaide, who called the office and told Zhang Dabao inside.

Zhang Dabiao called back, "Uncle, is the situation serious?"

"Da Biao, they were taken away from their homes. They are fine at the factory and everything is normal now. I have let Zhuzi's family live at home. It's a bit chaotic outside," said Li Huaide.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhang Dabao hung up the phone and called Shi Guijun again.

"I'm looking for Shi Guijun. Has he been transferred? Got it?" Zhang Dabao put down the phone.

It seems that I should go back. Sometimes when you give some people a taste of color, they will forget everything. It's a bit too much.

After arranging work in Hong Kong and other places, Zhang Dabiao said goodbye to his family and flew back to Beijing at night. Back in Beijing, he could not go to No. 95 Courtyard because it was not convenient for him to show up in his current identity. But he had already prepared, and there were still several small courtyards vacant, so he came to Ma Si Hutong.

No one has lived here for a long time, and the house is a bit dilapidated. When no one lives here for a long time, the house will deteriorate very quickly. I don’t know why. When I came here, I cleaned up the yard first. Fortunately, I have my own space, so I can clean up anything quickly. After cleaning, I started to take a shower.

When he came out during the day, Zhang Dabao had changed into a younger face and was dressed like the young people on the street. When he arrived at the Hongxing Street Office, his aunt no longer worked there. It was really a change of scenery. After leaving the street office, Zhang Dabao continued to walk forward and met an acquaintance, Shi Chu, the director of the Hongxing Post Office and Jia Dongxu's immediate superior.

"Director Shi" Zhang Dabao chased after him.

"Comrade, are you calling me?" Shi Chulai looked at the person in front of him. He didn't know him, so he had some doubts.

"Director Shi, I'm from Jiajia Village, Xiangyang Commune. I want to ask about Jia Dongxu," said Zhang Dabao.

"What about Jia Dongxu? What's your relationship with Jia Dongxu?" Shi came out and asked.

"I am Jia Dongxu's uncle. My name is Jia Youquan. My eldest cousin is Jia Youfu, who is also Jia Dongxu's father. When the villagers heard that something happened to Dongxu, they were worried and asked me to come and ask what happened," said Zhang Dabao.

"Come this way." Shi Chulai brought Zhang Dabao to a corner, looked around and saw that there was no one around. Director Shi came out and said, "Didn't Jia Dongxu's wife and children go abroad? Some people said that he was a traitor and was arrested. His mother was also arrested." Shi Chulai said.

"Has he been detained in the Hongxing Police Station?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"No, Director Cao is a friend of Jia Dongxu's uncle. He was worried about arresting people and detained them here. I heard that he was detained in the Xicheng Branch," said Shi Chu.

"Thank you, Director Shi. I will ask other people to see if they can make some concessions," said Zhang Dabao.

"It's not easy. Director Li of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is a bureau-level cadre. I went to protect them, but they didn't give me any face at all. It didn't work directly." Shi Chulai revealed a key information, that is, the person behind the scenes is not ordinary.

After saying goodbye to Shi Chuchu, Zhang Dabao came to the Xicheng Branch. He waited at the door for a while and saw a middle-aged policeman coming out. He went up to stop him.

"Comrade, can you please talk to me for a moment?" Zhang Dabao held a cigarette in his hand.

"Is there something wrong?" The middle-aged man asked Zhang Dabao with some confusion.

"I'm here to ask about someone. My nephew Jia Dongxu is imprisoned here. I'm his cousin Jia Youquan. I heard from Director Li that he offended someone. Who did he offend? Director Li didn't say. Maybe he was a relative? Our family has pooled some money and would like to pay our respects." Zhang Dabao stuffed a cigarette in his hand into the middle-aged man's hand.

"Jia Dongxu? The one with the outside connection? It's not easy to deal with me. I can't do it directly. He has offended too many people. The middle-aged man pushed the cigarette away.

"I'm not asking you to help release him. I know who it is. I also know a few leaders. Go and ask them for help." Zhang Dabao pushed the cigarette back.

"Jia Dongxu's uncle used to work in a steel rolling mill. He was a very domineering person. I heard that he was beaten to death. He fled abroad, but Jia Dongxu and his mother did not run away. People hold a grudge against Jia Dongxu," said the middle-aged man.

"Who did his uncle offend? Who did he offend?" Zhang Dabia knew as soon as he heard it that he had offended someone.

"In the past, the daughter of Deputy Commander Shan's family was named Wang. Now her brother Wang Hangtian is in power and wants to avenge his sister," the middle-aged man said in a low voice.

"Is this Commander Wang in the capital?" Zhang Dabao understood that it was indeed what he did.

"The former commander Ma is gone, replaced by commander Wang," the middle-aged man said, put the cigarette in his arms, looked around to see no one, and left.
