Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 187 Personal Issues
The interrogation lasted for more than two hours. Seeing that no more useful information could be obtained, Su Xiaotong was about to end it when Zhang Dajiang suddenly took the initiative to ask.

"Government, please tell me, do you know Su Zhaokang?"

"It's been almost twenty years, and you still miss him?"

Hearing the name coming out of Zhang Dajiang's mouth, Su Xiaotong laughed immediately: "Why? Is it because he led the team to arrest you at that time, do you plan to seek revenge on him?"

This statement directly shows that he knows Su Zhaokang.

"No, no, no, government, you are kidding. I just feel that you and Captain Su look quite similar in your features."

Zhang Dajiang quickly shook his head and explained.

Revenge? What a joke, what can he use to take revenge? He is already a 60-year-old man. Even if he is released now, it is still a question whether he can survive.

"Yes, you are not mistaken." Su Xiaotong nodded with a smile: "He is my uncle, and he introduced me to you today.

He told me that if we really had to say who knew the most about Beijing's "underground" affairs before liberation, it should be you, Master Jiang, and what he said was true."

Su Xiaotong patted the notebook on the table and said, "Master Jiang is Master Jiang. It has been so many years, but I still remember some of the things that happened back then."

"I can't tell whether you are praising me or insulting me. When people get old, they just like to reminisce about the past. I didn't expect that Captain Su, an old friend, still remembers an old man like me."

Zhang Dajiang paused here. Just as Su Xiaotong was about to respond, he noticed a look of hesitation on his face, so he didn't say anything. He waited to see what he wanted to say and asked Sun He to light another cigarette for him.

After smoking and thinking for a while, Zhang Dajiang raised his eyelids and looked at Su Xiaotong and said, "Although it was Captain Su who arrested me and made me a prisoner, I am actually very grateful to him in my heart. If it weren't for him, I would have been beaten to death long ago.

You are Captain Su's nephew, and you came to me with his guidance. I'll give you some useful information as a way of repaying him for saving your life.

You have been asking about my Shi Tou just now. I really don’t know the second Shi Tou, and there is almost no news about him on the street. This person is very mysterious.

But I knew the first Shi Tou. I just told you that he was killed by Xiao Ri Zi, but I was lying to you.

Although I, Zhang Dajiang, am not a good person and have done dirty things, the people I admire most are those who deliberately go against their daily lives.

I didn't intend to tell you the truth because I didn't want you to bother him again.

Of course, I'm not sure whether this person is still alive. He was pardoned in the tenth year after the founding of the People's Republic of China. After this prison was built in the ninth year after the founding of the People's Republic of China, we moved here. He stayed here for a year and then was released.

His name is Yu Kexun, I think you must be able to find his file.

Many people, including their own people who are not on the same line, may not know that there are four generations of this stone, because the first generation of stone is specifically used to deal with their own people, that is, those who sell out their masters for fame and fortune.

The reason I knew him was that he applied to go to the battlefield and when he said goodbye to his superior before leaving, he chose my place. I eavesdropped out of curiosity.

When they were talking, they mentioned Shi Tou who would take over, but they didn't specify who it was. I only heard the person online say that Shi Tou's responsibilities had changed and he would be dealing with your people.

I didn’t expect that after parting with Yu Kexun, I would meet him again in prison more than ten years later. I don’t know whether he recognized me at that time or not, because we were not in the same prison ward and had never spoken to each other, but he probably didn’t know that I recognized him.”

This is such a pleasant surprise!
Although the first Stone should be around sixty years old now, and it is not certain whether he is still alive, and even if he is alive, it is even more uncertain where he is, but having clues is much better than making a wasted trip.

Su Xiaotong suppressed his excitement and nodded calmly: "Thank you."

“No need.” Zhang Dajiang shook his head and continued, “Speaking of the man named Pan Youzhi you mentioned just now, according to your description, I remember that I had a frequent visitor there at that time. I don’t know his name, but he looked quite similar to the photo you just showed me, and he came there almost every day.

But he never stayed overnight and basically left at one or two o'clock in the morning. If you want to ask about this person, you can go find a girl named Chunxi who used to work with me. I can't remember her full name, but she should be around 40 years old now.

Every time that man came to my place, he would ask Chunxi to accompany him. This lasted for two whole years. He would come every day of the month except for the days when the girls had their red-wed couplets. That's why I can remember him.

In my opinion, Chunxi should know something about him.

As for the rest, you don't need to ask me anymore. I don't think those other things will be of any help to you, so don't bother me anymore."

"That's enough for me."

He had no intention of asking any more questions. He was not that curious about things that happened before liberation. If it weren't for the case this time, he would not have asked about the past.

"Sun He, do you have any cigarettes in your pocket?"

"Uh... I just opened a box and smoked two."

"Give him the rest along with the matches." After saying that, Su Xiaotong looked up at the guard: "Brother..."

"It's okay, Director Su. This is your reward to him. You can make an exception this time."

"Thank you"

"Zhang Dajiang, take good care of yourself and go back to rest."

"Give Captain Su my regards on behalf of the old man."

"must"

Watching Zhang Dajiang being taken away by the guards, Su Xiaotong and Sun He stood up and walked out of another door of the interrogation room and went directly to the prison leader on duty.

Transfer the file, transfer the file of Yu Kexun.

As for whether it would cause trouble to others at this late hour, he didn't care.

You can go to the Women's Federation to check the files about Chunxi that Zhang Dajiang just mentioned tomorrow during the day.

His uncle told him that the women who worked in such places back then were basically sent to labor reform, and the Women's Federation also registered each of them so that they could help them after they got out and prevent them from going back to their old ways.

Not every woman who works in such places is forced to do so. Some of them may have no other options at first, but later they get used to it and become lazy and gluttonous.

……

Lao Xu took Li Yancheng to sit at Director Fang's house for about an hour and then left.

Old Director Fang was demoted to a lowly clerk with nothing to do now. Although he has no power anymore, he no longer has to worry about so many trivial matters. He has only been retired for half a month, and he seems to have become a lot younger.

It can be seen that he is still very concerned about the work of the Social Affairs Bureau, especially the matter of Li Xueyi. He has also heard about it and kept feeling sorry for him. He also instructed Lao Xu to overcome all difficulties and investigate the matter thoroughly. Not to let a bad guy go, but also not to wrongly accuse a good comrade.

This is exactly why we are still investigating this matter.

"Yancheng, you will be there at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning..."

On the way back, Lao Xu started to arrange work again, but he was interrupted by Li Yancheng before he could finish his words.

"Director, are you sure? Tomorrow is Sunday."

"Sunday?" Lao Xu was slightly startled: "Oh, tomorrow is the 30th, tut tut, March is over again, the time has passed so fast.

Come to the office tomorrow morning..."

Lao Xu sighed that time passed so quickly, and then began to arrange tomorrow's work. Li Yancheng was stunned, but this time he did not interrupt his leader. He just waited until he finished speaking before speaking.

"Director, have you forgotten that Sunday is a day off?"

"I didn't forget, what's wrong?"

"Didn't you forget what work you assigned me for tomorrow?"

"My comrade, we are at war now. Why would the enemy choose not to attack us on Sundays?"

Li Yancheng really didn't know how to respond to this.

He wanted to say that now was a time of peace, not a time for war, but when he thought about it carefully, for their unit, the case in front of them was nothing more than a high ground that needed to be conquered.

"Okay, you are the leader and you are the most important, so do as you say."

"Brat, I'll give you a few days off after this case is over so you can have a good rest."

"Ha ha……"

Li Yancheng has long been immune to such empty promises.

"Why do I feel that your laughter is full of disdain?"

"No, no, you must be mistaken, I am absolutely smiling with joy."

"Let's not talk about official business, let's talk about personal issues. Yan Cheng, aren't you ready to solve your personal problems? For the promotion and appointment of cadres, whether the family life is happy and stable is also an important consideration."

"My boss, I don't even have time to rest. Even if I find a date, they will have to flatter me, right?"

Li Yancheng directly changed the topic to the lack of rest time, but he didn't expect that Lao Xu would slap him in the face with facts. "How did others negotiate? I know that Comrade Wang Zhongyang from the Investigation Department had a blind date just after the Chinese New Year, and the bureau's review of the woman has also passed, and they are planning to get the marriage certificate after the case is over.

Isn't he busier than you? Everyone in the Investigation Department has five night shifts every month. How did he find a partner?"

This……

Facing the contemptuous look that Lao Xu turned around and gave him, Li Yancheng could only smile awkwardly.

He forgot that nowadays, as long as both parties are satisfied with a blind date and both families are satisfied, they can get a marriage certificate. The step of dating can be skipped. After marriage, you two can talk slowly in bed.

So, it doesn’t take much time at all.

Oh yes, there is one more step in their unit, which is that you need to apply. The bureau needs to conduct a political review of the other party. If the review fails, I'm sorry, it won't work even if both parties are satisfied.

"Please rest assured, leader. I will take care of my personal issues as soon as possible."

"Don't just talk, take real action. If that doesn't work, ask someone in the office to introduce you to someone. Although you've been married before, there are no sequelae, and your personal conditions are good. You can be said to be a rare and good son-in-law.

I heard someone in the office talking about you the other day, saying that someone outside is interested in you and wants to introduce you to someone.”

Li Yancheng also knew what Lao Xu was talking about. Someone found out that she went to see Sister Hu in their office.

But when people heard that he was getting married for the second time and had no elderly people at home, they stopped talking.

Nowadays, it is not a good thing to have no elderly people at home, because that means there will be no one to help you in the future, such as taking care of children, washing clothes, cooking and cleaning.

If both of them are working, they will be very busy if there is no one to help them after they have a child.

There are very few people like Xing Lihua's mother who are willing to come and help, so Jin Zhihai was very grateful to his mother-in-law and father-in-law.

"Leader, I will definitely pay attention to my personal problems."

"Alas, I don't mean to rush you. Yancheng, you know that some people are worried about you going on a business trip to Hong Kong Island this time.

First of all, you are single. If one person feeds the whole family, you don’t have any ties here. The possibility of you falling behind after you go there is much greater than if you have a family.

Another point is that although you are divorced, you have never found another wife. Some people think that you still have feelings for your ex-wife. If that is the case, wouldn't it be like throwing meat buns at a dog if you were asked to go this time?
Yan Cheng, we are members of an organization, and we need to consider the problem comprehensively, not just our own preferences. Maybe you feel that you are very comfortable living alone now, so you are not in a hurry to find a partner, but this situation may be interpreted differently by others. "

Li Yancheng really didn't expect that because he was single, some people would think that he still had feelings for his ex-wife.

He was very clear that when the organization was examining reserve cadres, whether the cadre's family life was happy and stable was definitely a plus point.

Two cadres of the same ability and similar age are waiting for promotion at the same time. One is married and has children and has a happy family life, while the other is still single. Then the possibility of the married one being promoted will be much higher than the single one.

Because being single means instability.

Don’t say things like I plan not to fall in love or get married in this life. That’s bullshit and no one will believe it.

Old Xu, who was driving, then continued, "Yancheng, the bureau was able to approve the list and submit it because Xiaotong vouched for you in front of the leaders. Otherwise, do you think the bureau would agree?

Even if Director Shen and Director Zhong both agree, you will be left out when the team votes at the meeting.

Sigh... Think carefully about what I said. You are a smart guy, and you should be able to figure it out."

At this moment, Li Yancheng didn't know what to say except to remain silent.

If Lao Xu hadn't told him, he really wouldn't have known that Su Xiaotong had vouched for him in front of the leader.

He never thought that his being single would be used as an excuse to attack others.

Although going on business trip to Hong Kong Island is fraught with dangers, there are many people who want to go, not just one place, but people from other places also want to go.

If we get him down, the possibility of others getting out will be greater.

Su Xiaotong's guarantee for him was equivalent to gambling with his own future.

If he really leaves the team after he goes out, no matter what the old man of the Su family does, Su Xiaotong's future will be ruined and he will be in trouble, especially in the current environment.

"Thank you for your reminder, Director."

"You're welcome. You were doing well in the hospital. I was the one who transferred you here, so of course I have to be responsible for your future.

Besides, what's wrong with getting married? Just think about it, when you go home so late, there are still people who care about you, and there is a hot meal, how nice, right? "

"You are right. I really need to think about this issue seriously."

"Well, I'm glad you paid attention. Hey, to get to your house, we have to turn this way, right?"

"Yes, just turn around and stop at the second alley."

As they were talking, the car was almost reaching the entrance of the alley where Li Yancheng lived.

"Don't you need to see me to the door?"

"No, you should go back and rest early. It's only a few hundred meters from here."

"Okay, go back and get some rest early."

"Okay, Director, take care."

Standing on the side of the road and watching Lao Xu driving farther and farther away until the taillights could no longer be seen, Li Yancheng took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one for himself, then turned and walked into the alley.

Talking about someone?
Haha, that’s so easy. He really can’t accept getting the marriage certificate after just one or two blind dates. It feels like opening a blind box.

But what Lao Xu just said does make sense. He can't leave any handle for others to attack him.

The current environment will have to continue for several years. Others can protect you for a while, but it is impossible for them to protect you forever.

Lao Xu just said that Su Xiaotong vouched for him in front of the leader, but he believed that Lao Xu must have contributed a lot to it.

Are we just going to find one to make do?
If that were the case, he would rather marry Luo Yang's sister, at least he knows her well.

Huh?
Why did you think of that girl?
The letter was sent out this morning.

Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. The other party is thousands of kilometers away.

Besides, given her family's current situation, even if he wanted to find her, it's another matter whether he could pass the review.

"Dacheng?"

"Um, ah? Oh, it's Uncle Huo. Did you just get off the night shift?"

"Yeah, I just got back from get off work. Why are you back just now?"

"Haha, we worked overtime today and just finished."

"Your company is really great. I heard from Zhihai that you seem to have to work overtime frequently. I haven't seen you for a long time."

"There's nothing I can do. There are too many things to do." Li Yancheng smiled bitterly.

"Well, do your best. Okay, go back quickly."

"Okay, Uncle Huo, please take care. I just came over and saw that the street light on the west side seems to be broken, and the road is dark."

"It's okay. You can find your way back even in the dark by walking there a few times every day. Go in quickly."

Li Yancheng had already walked to the gate of the yard. The street lights on their side were still on, but there were no street lights in the west when he walked over just now. The lights in each house were also off, and the road was pitch black.

The situation in the past two years is really much better than in previous years. Although power restrictions are often imposed on residents to ensure industrial electricity consumption, it only happens two or three days a month.

Unlike before, the street lights would basically be turned off at 9 or 10 o'clock in the evening, and the power cuts would accumulate to at least one week and ten days a month.

Kerosene lamps are a must-have in every household.

He remembered that when he was in school, he did his homework under a kerosene lamp at night. After finishing, his face was black because of the smoke.

Sometimes, even if there is no power outage, the neighborhood committee will come out to check at night. If they find someone’s lights are still on after 9 o’clock, they will come to the door and urge them to turn off the lights and rest to save electricity.

If you light a kerosene lamp, no one will care about you.

Ugh……
