Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

Chapter 188: Deling Farm

Deling Laogai Farm.

Jing Cuncheng put on all his clothes, wrapped in the quilt, still shivering.

Zhang Jun, who was opposite the room, was even more unbearable, curled up with a pale face, and the shaking wooden bed was ringing.

Jing Cuncheng knocked his teeth and said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, you are a cowboy king. What did you say about lying in ambush in the snow for three days and three nights without moving your nest? Now that there is a house with a quilt, you can't stand it."

After speaking, Jing Cuncheng twisted his body, hoping to warm his back a little bit. At the same time, he was waiting for the familiar rebuttal to come, and wanted to use his words to keep out the cold.

However, the expected rebuttal did not come.

Zhang Jun closed his eyes tightly, his body still shaking severely.

"Old Zhang?"

"Lao Zhang!" Jing Cuncheng yelled, awakening the other two as well.

Jing Cuncheng got out of the bed wrapped in the quilt, and when he touched Zhang Jun's forehead, his face changed, and he said in a deep voice, "I have a fever."

"Is there any briquettes? Set the fire up and get some hot water." Guo Wei, who was in the same room, said while looking at the earthen stove in the middle of the room.

The stove has been cold for a long time, and the walls of the stove are cold. Below the stove is some firewood and a gray-black briquettes.

"There is only one piece left." Guo Wei sighed, found the match, prepared to light it, and asked, "Who has the money?"

"I have one more point. Can I buy two briquettes." Cheng Yu, the last person in the room, an intellectual, thin and small, took out a change from his shoe, then looked out the window and said, "Also. Before evening, the three briquettes will die out in the middle of the night."

"If it doesn't work, I have to do it. I will ask the guards for two more." Jing Cuncheng put his quilt on Zhang Jun and put on torn cotton shoes.

"I'll go with you." Guo Wei rubbed his face, handed his quilt to Cheng Yu, and said: "Don't freeze you too, we two ran away, you made the fire."

"Go and come back quickly. It's best to get some medicine." Cheng Yu wrapped the quilt in a polite manner, and said, "Be careful."

Jing Cuncheng and Guo Wei didn't say a word, opened the door, braved the cold wind, and ran to look for the guards.

The Laogai Farm is located in the Qaidam Basin, more than 100 kilometers away from the nearest town. It takes a full day to drive and climb over 3,000-meter-high mountains. The conditions are extremely harsh. In such a place, there is no need for the iron doors and windows like a prison. As long as you are optimistic that the farm has only two vehicles, whoever wants to run is free. Just running out of the farm can be exhausted. If you walk along the road , Without waiting for a place suitable for survival, one day and one night passed. There was no one to name on the farm, and then call out. The surrounding villages and towns prepared for roadblocks and militias. If you are lucky, there will be opportunities. Save the escaping guy.

The guards on the farm are very loose, but the material management is very strict. In January, when the temperature drops below zero at night, the fuel still cannot be fully rationed, especially when the mountains are closed by heavy snow, the briquettes provided by the farm will decrease instead.

If you want more briquettes, you have to pay for it yourself. At the beginning of coming to the farm, many people are able to come up with money. Even if they don't have it, they still have savings at home, and they will always find ways to send some.

However, it has been longer since they were held in custody, and there are almost no people with money. Cheng Yu still has a small amount of money left, which he saved from his meal.

Jing Cuncheng and Guo Wei grabbed the money and knocked on the guard's room, immediately feeling warm.

The cast iron stove in the room is burning hot.

"Lao Zhang has a fever, let's get some briquettes." Jing Cuncheng grabbed Guo Wei, lest he be too grumpy.

Tao Feng, who was sitting in front of the stove, was strong, but his face was impatient, and said, "You have all the briquettes sent out this week. If you don't have enough briquettes, go to the market to pay for them."

"It's so late, and there is no one in the field." Jing Cuncheng lowered his head and said.

Tao Feng said indifferently: "That can't be helped. I'm not from the field department."

"Help, comrade."

"Who is comrade with you?" Tao Feng stood up all of a sudden and looked down at Jing Cuncheng.

"People die, it's always bad, right." Jing Cuncheng understood the reason and said: "Lao Zhang is burning hot now. Give me some medicine, drink some hot water, and warm it up. People will be saved. If it's because of it. The matter of a few cents is dead, don't you please tell me, the family members have heard about it, and they are also going to make trouble."

"A reactionary, why should he make trouble?" Tao Feng said sternly.

Jing Cuncheng laughed with him and said: "Isn't the People's Daily not talking about this? Many people have also been rehabilitated and returned. Old Zhang has not been rehabilitated, and there may be his problems. However, let him wait until he is rehabilitated or wait for the new It’s your task to come down under the order. Bah, I have some money here, so please help us to hand it to the field office tomorrow. Today we will save a few briquettes for our emergency, okay?"

Tao Feng looked down at the gross ticket, held it in his pocket, and moved under the stove with his foot, and said, "There is no briquettes. You can take as much as you can take away the briquettes."

Guo Wei said angrily: "These are not enough."

"It's okay if it's not enough." Jing Cuncheng grabbed him, and smiled at Tao Feng: "Discipline, give me two more cold medicines, and send the Buddha to the west."

There is no shortage of ordinary medicines in the reform-through-labor farms. The fuel is because it is far difficult to transport the medicines on the high mountain road, so medicines are much easier to carry.

Of course, medicine also costs money. Tao Feng was not willing to give it. Thinking of what Jing Cuncheng said earlier, he still squeezed two pills for him.

Many people were originally imprisoned in Deling Laogai Farm. In fact, various judicial organs in Qinghai once held 25% of prisoners across the country, but in recent years, many people have been released one after another.

For the first time, the cadres on the farm were even anxious, for fear that the ****** who had been let go would gain power again and find revenge.

Now that several years have passed, what they were worried about has not happened, and fewer people are leaving on the farm. The guards have returned to their old ways, and gradually there are signs of treating the remaining ****** as ordinary criminals.

However, after all, *** and criminal offenders are different, and Jing Cuncheng's words are also reasonable. Tao Feng then gave the medicine so as not to cause curse.

After morning exercises the next day, Jing Cuncheng returned to the room and continued to take care of Lao Zhang.

Others on the farm have also heard about it. You handed me one piece and collected two dustpans of small coals so that they could warm the house a little bit.

However, there is so much that everyone can do.

Jing Cuncheng and Cheng Yu kept using towels soaked in water to cool down Lao Zhang physically. It was a little better at noon, but it was the sun’s contribution or the result of their busy schedule. Can't distinguish.

"The burning has not subsided." Cheng Yu poured some hot water into the basin, and said with a sad face: "The coal is about to run out again. I have to turn off the fire in the afternoon. If I use it this way, it won't be useful at night.

"I'll ask everyone to go there again." Guo Wei went out as soon as he heard it.

Cheng Yu shook his head, looked at the closed door, and said helplessly: "The landlord's house has no more food."

"You should say that the rightists have no surplus." Jing Cuncheng rubbed his hands and said.

Cheng Yu straightened up and smiled bitterly: "Are you still in the mood to tell a joke?"

"It's useless to be crying, you can ask for as much as you can." Jing Cuncheng said indifferently: "A day can be counted as a day."

The conversation in the room ends here.

When he was a child, Guo Wei frowned and came back with half of the coal in the dustpan. He said, "What can be taken out in the afternoon, that's all."

Cheng Yu and Jing Cuncheng didn't speak. The three of them sat around the stove, changing Zhang Jun a towel from time to time, each thinking about their own things.

In the afternoon, the power of the sun became weaker and weaker, but the temperature of the stove did not increase.

Zhang Jun was still asleep, and the three of them were wrapped in quilts one after another, and there was no better way.

Bang bang.

The knock on the door shocked three people in an instant.

"Who?"

"Is Mr. Jing here? This is Tao Feng, and I brought the doctor." Tao Feng knocked on the door again.

Jing Cuncheng opened the door in surprise, saw Tao Feng, and asked, "Why is the discipline here?"

"You didn't mean that Lao Zhang was ill today. I went back and thought about it, so I brought a doctor to see it. Doctor Kang, look at it?" Tao Feng said, giving the doctor his position. .

There is a doctor in the labor camp, who usually treats prisoners indifferently, but at this time he is a little special, with a smile on his face, sitting next to Lao Zhang and starting to check his pulse.

After a while, the doctor even opened the medical kit, took out a set of infusion sets and large glass bottles of liquid, and said: "I am a little dehydrated, and the fever is more serious. First, rehydration and fever reduction."

"The room is too cold, even those who are not sick will have to catch a cold, and it will be more difficult to heal if they are sick." Jing Cuncheng frowned and said.

Tao Feng said immediately: "I have asked someone to fetch coal, and I will burn it for you right away."

"A coal truck is coming?" Guo Wei asked stupidly.

Cheng Yu laughed and said, "There must be something here, but it is not necessarily a coal truck. Tao Guanjiao, if there is any good thing, please share it with us, don't hide it alone."

Guo Wei's eyes condensed: "Did someone rehabilitate?"

Cheng Yu and Jing Cuncheng also looked at Tao Feng closely. On the reform-through-labor farm, what people look forward to most is to rehabilitate and return home.

Guan Jiao Tao smiled awkwardly and said: "I can't send the notice of redress. I just answered a phone call and received a letter. Mr. Jing's eldest brother will be coming in two days."

"Xiao Wu is here?" Jing Cuncheng continued with doubts: "Xiao Wu has been here before, but Tao Guanjiao didn't knock on the door before."

"Mr. Jing, don't run on me. You used to be a big man, and you will be a big man in the future. Tao Feng is a small person. If you want to take a look at me, if you don't want to, you will treat me as a sparrow. "Tao Feng smiled and lifted the kettle on the stove, poured water into the cups of the three of them, and handed the letter in his arms to Jing Cuncheng.

The letter was opened, and it was obviously checked. Jing Cuncheng opened it and scanned it again. He was puzzled: "I just said I want to come and have a look. I didn't say anything special."

"I also sent the money, and the field department deposited it for you. You know, large remittances must be deposited in the field department."

"Know, lest we run away with money, how much did Xiaowu send?"

"1000 yuan, in addition, there are 1000 yuan foreign exchange coupons." Tao Feng smiled humbly. Foreign exchange bills are exchanged for real foreign exchange, and they must be exchanged at the official exchange rate.

The official exchange rate in 1983 was 1.97, which is how one U.S. dollar can be exchanged for 2 yuan~www.NovelMTL.com~. The black market exchange rate during the same period was almost 1 to 8, or 1 to 10.

That is to say, a unit of 1,000 yuan of foreign exchange bills needs to be exchanged for 200 US dollars, and 200 US dollars can actually be exchanged for 1,600 yuan to 2,000 yuan.

Because of the cheating exchange rate, not only the returning Chinese and overseas Chinese, but also foreigners who come to China, they will find ways to exchange privately in places such as the Seaman’s Club or the back alleys of the People’s Bank. Some people often go to the coast of China. The shipping company even stated the exchange rate and the exchange method directly in the seafarer’s handbook.

Of course, according to the rules, foreigners cannot use Renminbi in China, nor can they use foreign exchange such as U.S. dollars. They must be exchanged for foreign exchange vouchers. However, there are countermeasures and policies at the bottom. Foreigners take renminbi to shops, and ordinary people do not. Those who would refuse, even officials, rarely enforce such laws forcibly.

However, the implementation of the reform-through-labor farm is complete. Just like in cities, most of the renminbi items in the reform-through-labour farm require bills. If you want to buy extra meat, you need a meat ticket. If you want to buy extra coal, you need a coal ticket. If you want to eat more, you need a food stamp.

There are no restrictions on the use of foreign exchange certificates. You can buy as many as you want. Anyway, the country does not suffer from foreign exchange. It can be said that foreign exchange certificates are a privileged existence in China.

In labor reform farms, many veteran cadres are in poor health, so their families can only find ways to buy foreign exchange vouchers so that they can easily buy food, clothing, or medicine.

However, most of the foreign exchange coupons sent to Deling Farm are thirty or fifty yuan, and those over one hundred are few.

The one-time 1,000 yuan foreign exchange coupons could not help but make the farms think about it.

It was Jing Cuncheng himself, all thinking about it in a random way.
