Chapter 23
On October [-]th, Zhang Jingyi came to the County Public Security Bureau for the seventh time.

Seeing the public security cadres affix a red seal on their materials, Zhang Jingyi burst into tears.

It has been seven days since he left. Zhang Jingyi bid farewell to his younger brother and boarded the train with anxiety, joy and a sense of confusion.

Just after lunch, Zhang Jingyi walked out of the Benxihu train station, and hurried to Hu Datou's house without taking a sip of water.

"Zhaofeng, Jin Baoer. Zhaofeng, mom is back, open the door for mom."

The courtyard door opened from the inside, and two dirty little faces appeared in front of Zhang Jingyi. Liu Jinrong looked at it, confirmed that it was his mother, burst into tears, and threw himself into Zhang Jingyi's arms.

Zhang Jingyi hugged his daughter and asked his son, "Zhaofeng, what's the matter?" After entering the courtyard, Liu Zhaofeng closed the courtyard door behind, and the three of them entered the house.

There was a hint of alcohol in the room, and the kang table was randomly placed on the top of the kang.

Liu Jinrong put his arms around his mother's neck: "Mom, I'm hungry."

Zhang Jingyi looked at his son: "Zhaofeng?"

Liu Zhaofeng said: "Mom, why did you come back? My sister hasn't eaten all day."

Zhang Jingyi said, "Where's your Uncle Hu?"

Liu Zhaofeng said: "The first two days you left were fine, and he brought back something. On the third day, he drank too much, and I gave my sister the leftovers from the previous day. After that, I only came back at night for two days. Yesterday Drunk again, didn't get anything back, my sister cried and was scolded by him. He, he still wants to open our box."

Zhang Jingyi turned his head to look at the box, the lock was still good, and asked, "What about others?"

Liu Zhaofeng said, "Go to work."

Zhang Jingyi asked, "Did he beat you?"

Liu Zhaofeng shook his head: "No, it's just scolding, he was lying on the kang after drinking too much, and my sister and I were far away."

Liu Jinrong put his face on his mother's face: "Mom, he is so fierce. Mom, I'm hungry."

Zhang Jingyi looked around the room in a daze, his mind was in a mess, Liu Zhaofeng called out in a low voice: "Mom."

Zhang Jingyi suddenly woke up, and handed Liu Jinrong to Liu Zhaofeng: "Hold my little sister, let's go."

Liu Zhaofeng took his sister and asked, "Where are we going?"

Zhang Jingyi went to get the box: "Go to your Uncle Qingyuan's house first, and then find a way after it's over. Mom got the household registration, if not, mom goes to the government."

Zhang Jingyi's heart is extremely firm right now, she wants to go to the government, her husband is a hero, her son is a hero, why can't she have a way out?
Zhang Jingyi took out 150 yuan and put it on the kang table, [-] was for the big-headed, and [-] was the food and lodging money for this period of time, carrying two boxes with difficulty, Liu Zhaofeng hugged his younger sister, and the three of them left the yard.

Zhang Jingyi locked the courtyard door. When she locked the courtyard door, she hesitated for a moment, but looked at the child, and her heart became firm again.

When they found the bus station, Zhang Jingyi was already sweating profusely. With the help of enthusiastic people, he finally got on the bus, bought a ticket, held his daughter and son in his arms and watched the scenery outside the bus. At this moment, she really wanted to The car never stops because she doesn't know where to go when she gets out of the car.

At the end of the ride, there were enthusiastic people who helped to carry the boxes down. The three mothers stood on the side of the road wiping their tears against the two boxes, and there was no one in Yang Qingyuan's house.

"Mom, I'm hungry." Liu Jinrong whispered while lying in his mother's arms.

Zhang Jingyi wiped his face and stood up, looked around, and handed his daughter to his son to hold him: "You just stand here, sit on the box and don't move. If you have something to do, just call. Do you understand? Mom, look for it." your uncle."

After thinking about it, Zhang Jingyi came to Yang Qingyuan's neighbor's house and knocked on the door. The first house was empty, the second house was empty, and in the third house, an aunt opened the door: "Who are you looking for?"

Zhang Jingyi bowed: "Hello, auntie. I am a relative of the 106 family. I am his sister. I lived here a few days ago."

The aunt looked over there: "Old Yang's house? Yang Qingyuan's house?"

Zhang Jingyi said, "That's right, Yang Qingyuan, I'm his older sister, and I'm from Zhuanghe."

The aunt asked: "You, what's the matter?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "He's not at home, I don't know where his unit is, can he come back today?"

The aunt shook her head: "I don't know if he will come back today. He works in the steel factory, but I don't know which workshop. The steel factory is so big and the area is so big that even an old lady like me can't tell the difference. Then You go into the house and stay for a while, wait a while."

Zhang Jingyi bit his lips: "Then, auntie, do you have anything to eat at home? It's not me, it's my two children who haven't eaten for a day and are crying from hunger. So am I. I really can't help it. I'll buy it. I'll give the money." He hurriedly took out the money.

The aunt looked around: "Where is the child?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "It's on the side of the road, looking at things." He pointed there.

The aunt patted Zhang Jingyi: "Hey, let's go and bring it here. You can rest assured that you can throw the child on the side of the road. There are so many cars in this car."

The aunt and Zhang Jingyi brought the child's suitcase into the building, and the aunt went to pour hot water for the two children, and brought the two children pastry and boiled potatoes. Zhang Jingyi asked for money, but the aunt did not: "Neighbors, neighbors, What is the value of a child eating a bite, don't embarrass me, you also take a break. Where did this come from?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "I just came back from Zhuanghe and went back to change my household registration."

The aunt asked: "Is it done? It's not easy to change the household registration these days. I heard that the household registration policy is going to change, and I don't know how to change it. Anyway, it will be more difficult to move in the future. I heard it is communalization and collectivization. I’m an old lady, even if I listened to it, I couldn’t understand it, anyway, people in the countryside will be crucified in the countryside, and they can’t go to the city, and people in the city can’t go to the countryside either.”

Zhang Jingyi asked: "Then I, who just moved out, can I still be let go?"

The aunt said: "I will pay you after you complete the formalities. I heard that food stamps will be issued in the future, and the food will follow the household registration. Food stamps are issued according to the household registration book, and the family has to buy food per person for a month. A person is more or less fixed. If you are here, the household registration and food relationship are nailed here, and you can’t buy food in other places. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.”

Zhang Jingyi asked: "Can't you buy food with money?"

The aunt shook her head: "I can't buy it. The country has regulations. It is not allowed to provide food to people without household registration, let alone between private individuals. It is against the law. The street just organized a meeting for us two days ago. In the future, we can only rely on With the household registration and food related to the designated place to buy food, people have the final say on how much to buy and how little to buy. In the future, you have to take food stamps to eat when you eat out, and it’s not the same as before.”

In fact, the state has already started the unified purchase and sales of grain, but the management has not been so strict, especially in the cities, there was no restricted purchase before 58 years, and there was a phenomenon of grain flowing back to the countryside.From the autumn of 58, grain management suddenly became harsh, so strict that it was unimaginable.

And Zhang Jingyi didn't know that he would soon be involved in an unprecedented turntable of fate.

Talked with the aunt, drank some water, Liu Jinrong fell asleep in his mother's arms when he was full, and Liu Zhaofeng was also dozing off at the same time. He took care of his sister for the past two days and didn't sleep well. Moreover, he was also hungry. .
