Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

Deling Labor Camp.

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

Zhang Jun in the opposite room was even more unbearable, curled up with a pale face, and the trembling wooden bed was making noise.

Jing Cuncheng gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Old Zhang, you bastard, you still say you can't move your nest for three days and three nights in ambush in the snow. Now you have a house and a quilt, you can't stand it."

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

However, the expected rebuttal did not come.

Zhang Jun closed his eyes tightly, his body was still shaking violently.

"Old Zhang?"

"Old Zhang!" Jing Cuncheng yelled, waking up the other two.

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

"Is there any more briquettes? Light up the fire and get some hot water." Guo Wei, who lives 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 icy cold. Below the stove are some firewood and a gray-black briquette.

"There's only one piece left." Guo Wei sighed, took out matches, and prepared to light the fire, and asked, "Who still has money?"

"I still have a little more, I can buy two briquettes." The last person in the room, Cheng Yu, was an intellectual, thin and small. He took out a small change from his shoe, then looked up out of the window, and said, "Is there any money?" Before evening, three briquettes will be gone in the middle of the night."

"It's okay, I'll ask the guard for another two yuan." Jing Cuncheng covered Zhang Jun with his quilt, and put on ripped 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, the two of us ran, you set the fire."

"Go and come back quickly, it's best to get some medicine." Cheng Yu wrapped the quilt up rudely, and said, "Be careful."

Jing Cuncheng and Guo Wei didn't say a word, they opened the door and trotted to find the guard against the cold wind.

The Laogai Farm is located in the Qaidam Basin, more than 100 kilometers away from the nearest town. It takes a whole day to drive and climb over a 3,000-meter-high mountain. The conditions are extremely harsh. In such a place, there is no need for prison-like iron gates and iron windows. As long as there are only two cars on the farm, anyone who wants to run is free. Just running out of the farm will exhaust you to death. If you walk along the road , without waiting for a suitable place to live, one day and one night passed. The farm could not find anyone by name, and then called out. The surrounding villages and towns leisurely prepared roadblocks and militia teams. If you are lucky, you still have a chance Save the fleeing guy.

The guards on the farm are loose, but the material management is very strict. In January, when the temperature drops below zero at night, the fuel is still not 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 initial stage of coming to the farm, many people were able to come up with money. Even if they didn't have any, their families had savings, and they would always find ways to send some.

However, now that they have been imprisoned for a longer time, there are almost no people who still have money. Cheng Yu still has a little change left, which he saved from his meal money.

Holding the money, Jing Cuncheng and Guo Wei knocked on the guard's room, feeling warm all over their bodies.

The cast iron stove in the room is burning hot.

"Lao Zhang has a fever, let's get some briquettes." Jing Cuncheng held Guo Wei back to prevent him from being too irritable.

Sitting in front of the stove, Tao Feng was strong and strong, but his face was filled with impatience, and he said: "You have distributed all the briquettes this week, if you don't have enough, go to the field department to pay for it."

"It's so late, there's no one in the field department." Jing Cuncheng said with his head down.

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

"Help me please,

little comrade. "

"Who is gay with you?" Tao Feng stood up suddenly, looking down at Jing Cuncheng.

"When a person dies, it's always bad." Jing Cuncheng understood the reason and said, "Lao Zhang is burning hot now, give some medicine, drink some hot water, and warm him up, and he will be saved. If it is because of The matter of a few cents is dead, don’t bother to mention it, his family has heard about it, and they are going to make a fuss.”

"A reactionary, why do you make trouble?" Tao Feng said sternly.

Jing Cuncheng accompanied him with a smile, and said: "Isn't the People's Daily not talking about this? Many people have also been rehabilitated and returned. Lao Zhang has not been rehabilitated, so there may be his problems, but let him wait until he is rehabilitated, or until he is rehabilitated." It is also your task to come down with the order. Hey, I have some money here, please help us hand it over to the field department tomorrow, and give us some briquettes today to save us, okay?"

Tao Feng looked down at the ten-cent note, put it in his pocket, poked under the stove with his foot, and said, "There are no briquettes, but for the broken ones, you can take as much as you can."

Guo Wei said angrily: "This is not enough."

"It doesn't matter if it's not enough." Jing Cuncheng grabbed him, then smiled at Tao Feng and said, "Guardian, if you have cold medicine, give me two more, and send it to the Buddha."

There is no shortage of common medicines in the Laogai farms. The fuel is because the mountains and roads are far away and difficult to transport, so medicines are easier to carry.

Of course, medicines also cost money. Tao Feng was unwilling to give them at first, but thinking of what Jing Cuncheng said earlier, he squeezed two for him.

Many people were originally detained in the Deling Laogai Farm. In fact, various judicial organs in Qinghai once held 25% of the country's prisoners. However, many people have been released one after another over the years.

At the beginning, the cadres on the farm were even anxious, for fear that the released Communist would gain power again and come back for revenge.

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

However, criminals and criminals are different after all, Jing Cuncheng's words are also reasonable. Tao Feng then gave medicine to avoid the root of disaster.

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

Others on the farm also heard about it, and you and I collected two dustpans of small coal so that they could burn the house a little warmer.

But there is only so much you can do.

Jing Cuncheng and Cheng Yu kept using water-soaked towels to physically cool down Lao Zhang. At noon, they got better, but whether it was the sun's credit or the result of the two people's busyness? Can't tell.

"The fever hasn't subsided yet." Cheng Yu poured some hot water into the washbasin, and said with a sad face: "The coal is almost used up again, so I have to turn off the fire in the afternoon. If I continue to use it like this, it will be useless at night."

"I'll ask everyone for an order." 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 food left."

"You should say that the rightist family has no food left." Jing Cuncheng rubbed his hands and said.

Cheng Yu straightened up, smiled wryly and said, "Are you still in the mood to tell jokes?"

"It's useless to have a sad face, you can ask for as much as you can." Jing Cuncheng said indifferently: "You can live every day."

So much for the conversation in the room.

When he was a child, Guo Wei came back with a frown, half-filled the dustpan with coal, and said, "I'll take out all the coal that can be taken out this afternoon, that's all."

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

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

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

bang bang.

The knock on the door startled the three of them instantly.

"Who?"

"Is Mr. Jing there? I'm 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?"

"Didn't you say that Lao Zhang is sick today? I went back and thought about it, so I brought a doctor to take a look. Doctor Kang, take a look?" Tao Feng said, giving up the seat to the doctor who brought him .

There was only one doctor in the labor reform farm, and he was usually indifferent to the prisoners, but this time he was a little special, sitting next to Lao Zhang with a smile on his face, and began to diagnose his pulse.

After a while, the doctor even opened the medical bag, took out a set of infusion sets and liquids in large glass bottles, and said, "I'm a little dehydrated, and I have a serious fever. First, rehydrate and reduce the fever."

"The room is too cold. Even people who are not sick will still catch a cold, and it will be even more difficult to recover if they are sick." Jing Cuncheng said with a frown.

Tao Feng immediately said: "I sent someone to fetch coal, and it will be burned for you right away."

"Is there a coal truck coming?" Guo Wei asked in a daze.

Cheng Yu chuckled and said, "There must be something coming, but it doesn't have to be a coal truck. Tao Guanjiao, if there is something good, please share it with us, don't hide it alone."

Guo Wei's eyes narrowed: "Is someone rehabilitated?"

Cheng Yu and Jing Cuncheng also watched Tao Feng closely. In the labor reform farm, what people look forward to most is to be rehabilitated and go home.

Tao Guanjiao 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 uncle is coming in two days."

"Xiao Wu is here?" Jing Cuncheng then asked doubtfully, "Xiao Wu has also come 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. I, Tao Feng, am a little man. If you like it, just take a look at me, and if you don't, just treat me like a sparrow, chattering, it's not in your business. Tao Feng smiled and lifted the kettle on the stove, poured water into the cups of the three, and handed the letter in his arms to Jing Cuncheng.

The letter was unsealed, obviously already checked, Jing Cuncheng opened it and scanned it, and said doubtfully, "I just said I wanted to take a look, I didn't say anything special."

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

"I know, in case we run away with money on us, how much did Xiao Wu send?"

"1,000 yuan, and 1,000 yuan in foreign exchange certificates." Tao Feng smiled humbly. Foreign exchange certificates must be exchanged for real foreign exchange, and at the official exchange rate.

The official exchange rate in 1983 was 1.97, that is, 1 US dollar to 2 yuan, while the black market exchange rate in the same period was almost 1 to 8, and it was 1 to 10 when it was very powerful.

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

Because of the cheating exchange rate, not only Chinese and overseas Chinese returning to China, but also foreigners who come to China will find ways to do private exchange in places such as the Seaman’s Club or the back alley of the People’s Bank of China. Some people who often travel to the coast of China The shipping company even directly states the exchange rate and exchange method in the seaman's handbook.

Of course, according to the rules, foreigners in China cannot use Renminbi, nor can they use foreign exchange such as U.S. dollars. They must be exchanged for foreign exchange certificates, but there are countermeasures and policies. Will refuse, and even officials rarely enforce such decrees.

However, the implementation of the labor reform farm is out-and-out. Just like in the city, most of the things in the labor reform farm require receipts. If you want to buy extra meat, you need meat coupons. If you want to buy extra coal, you need coal coupons. If you want to eat more, you need food coupons.

There are no restrictions on the use of foreign exchange certificates. You can buy as much as you want. Anyway, it is exchanged in foreign exchange, and the country will not suffer. It can be said that foreign exchange certificates are a kind of privilege in China.

In the reform-through-labor farms, many veteran cadres are in poor health, so the family can only find ways to buy foreign exchange certificates, so that they can easily buy food, clothing, or medicine.

However, most of the foreign exchange certificates sent to Deling Farm were thirty or fifty yuan, and rarely more than one hundred yuan.

The one-time 1,000 yuan foreign exchange certificate made the farm side think wildly.

Even Jing Cuncheng himself was thinking wildly.
