"Oh! Big brother, I've waited for you." Chen Kai took the bag from the fourth master's hand, "As soon as you went out, my sister sent me a telegram asking me to pick you up. It's freezing cold here.
, If you want to stay in the guest house, there probably won’t be any room. Let’s go, let’s go! Come with me. When we get to the door of the house, we can’t make my brother feel wronged no matter what.”
Lin Yutong was a little confused by this enthusiasm.
The fourth master held Lin Yutong's hand and had to follow Chen Kai. He thought it would be far away, but he walked for less than half an hour and arrived at the bottom of a two-story building.
Chen Kai said: "This is the guest house of our forest farm. Can we stay here tonight?"
"It's good to have a place to stay, what else can I do? It couldn't be better." Fourth Master agreed with a smile.
His eyes flashed, and he understood something in his heart.
"We are not outsiders. Brother Chen, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it." Fourth Master added another sentence.
Chen Kai smiled sheepishly, "Let's go inside first, it's cold outside. Don't let the big girl freeze."
The Fourth Master smiled and pulled Lin Yutong, who was still a little confused, inside.
As soon as I entered the door and opened the thick curtain, it was much warmer inside. There was a heater, which couldn't be better.
Lin Yutong took off her hat and looked up. The fourth master had already taken off his hat and walked towards a middle-aged man. The two of them lowered their heads and didn't know what they said. Then she saw the fourth master waving to her, and Lin Yutong ran away.
Go over. Fourth Master nodded to the man, then took two keys and took Lin Yutong up to the second floor.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yutong asked in a low voice after entering the room.
"You rest first. I'm going out for a while. I'm downstairs." Fourth Master whispered, "That person has some background, and he probably still wants to do something about rice and noodles. It's the end of the year, so you have to be good at giving gifts to the bosses.
"
Lin Yutong's heart skipped a beat, "It won't cause any trouble." The flour in the space is much whiter than the flour now.
"You are here." The fourth master whispered in his ear, "Don't worry about it."
With that said, he turned around and went out. "Close the door from the inside."
Lin Yutong's heart ached. Without the Fourth Master, she would only dare to eat secretly if she had the space. Others wanted to exchange for food stamps, cloth stamps, etc., but she really didn't dare. For things like this, she really didn't know what to do.
How to deal with it.
The fourth master came back very late and smelled of alcohol. He also held a bowl in his hand, which was steaming.
I just came back after dinner.
"Eat something quickly." Fourth Master put the bowl on the table.
Lin Yutong took a look and saw that they were actually dumplings. They were also topped with braised pork and fried dried fish. The dumplings were also stuffed with radish and mutton. She swallowed the dumplings in her mouth and said, "What do you mean?" She ate and took them.
The fourth master said as he took off his clothes: "They think those rice noodles are for special supply. They want to get some for the leaders to buy for the year."
Lin Yutong was stunned, "Then what did you say?"
"My biological father's comrades took care of me." Fourth Master said calmly. "I'm not afraid of checking. It's true after checking. Those comrades are everywhere in the world. Where can I check?"
This is true.
"I promised to give them a batch before the year. I won't give them more this time. The tighter they are, the better." Fourth Master whispered.
Lin Yutong nodded while eating. She has to beg you every time in order to get greater benefits. She understands this.
"They have bought the ticket. It is a berth exclusively for leaders." Fourth Master lay down on the bed, "In addition, I have issued a business trip certificate for two* times. With this, I will stay in the guest house of the Forestry Bureau, and the food and accommodation will be free."
Lin Yutong choked. She knew that this man would not be able to resist him anywhere. It was no longer uncomfortable to travel far away. She wished she could pounce on him and bite him twice.
"Where are you staying tonight?" Lin Yutong asked. She saw him taking two keys.
"I asked for two rooms, but they have no control over where I live." Fourth Master yawned. "The second floor of this guest house doesn't accept anyone."
"There is a bathroom inside, you go and wash up first." Lin Yutong urged him. When the weather is cold, bathing is particularly inconvenient. This time it was just right.
It was snowing outside, and there was not much place to go shopping. I stayed in the guest house for a day, and on the third day, Chen Kai took me off to the train to Xi'an.
The sleeper berth is not spacious, but it is more comfortable than the hard seat. There are fewer people traveling far away at this time, so the train is not crowded.
Maybe the people from the forest farm said hello specially, and the train conductor even came over specially.
The two of them wore Lin Yutong's newly made sheepskin jackets when they went out. They were brand new. They were dressed so decently and had someone say hello to them, so they definitely couldn't neglect them. They had repeatedly stated that no one would move in again. This sleeping room was for two people.
People live.
The fourth master also nodded, as if it was a matter of course. Lin Yutong quickly took out a bag of fruits. They were all apples and oranges of poor quality. These are more valuable than anything else now.
She handed the things over and said, "I'll give you a share, so you can take care of me."
I have to stay on the train for two days and have to be cared for.
The flight attendant really didn't dare to accept it.
Fourth Master glanced at it lightly and said, "Take it."
After getting the things, the treatment was even more different. Hot water was delivered regularly, and hot rice and soup were served when the meal was ordered. Two extra eggs were also added.
So, apart from being bored and having some accidents, there was nothing else. During the day, Fourth Master mostly leaned against the car window and looked out to see what was going on outside.
After arriving in Xi'an, we traveled around for more than a day and took three bus rides before we arrived at the labor camp.
Except for the guards with guns, everything else here is similar to other farms.
"Comrade, do you have a man named Yin Changtian here?" Fourth Master stepped forward and asked the guard.
The guard first looked at the two of them warily, and then asked in surprise: "Are you here to visit Yin Changtian?"
Then there is this person.
Fourth Master breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, is it convenient now?"
The guard scratched his head, "I'm surprised, no one has ever visited him." He calmed down and said seriously: "It's convenient, of course it's convenient. But your luggage needs to be checked."
The fourth master's eyes flashed, he nodded with a smile and placed the two bags in front of him.
Inside are the coats, cotton-padded clothes, trousers and cotton shoes that Lin Yutong had put away in advance. All the gloves and socks are ready. They also brought a lot of meat. There are also fresh fruits inside.
Of course you are not afraid of inspections.
But if I want to bring something here these days, I have to pretend to go out and pick it up. It’s very inconvenient to go back and forth.
The guard looked at so many things in surprise, and then quickly zipped it up. "Please come in."
My attitude was very good. I didn't make things difficult for them.
Lin Yutong took an apple and two oranges and stuffed them into the guard's pocket before following the Fourth Master in.
The king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with. Although he is not difficult to deal with, he must be humane inside and outside.
After all, Fourth Master sometimes really doesn't think of dealing with little people like this.
Anyone who comes in and out in the past two days cannot escape the eyes of these door gods.
After entering the gate, there is a circle of houses built along the wall. One is connected to the other. The rest of the open space, except for the paths left for people to walk, is all crop fields. There are still unfinished fields in the fields.
What about corn stalks?
The wind carried sand, which drilled into my eyes.
Just when I didn't know where to go, a man walked out from the corner, fastening his trousers.
That corner must be the toilet. There must be few people here, otherwise they wouldn't leave without tidying up.
"Ouch..." The man quickly turned his back and straightened his clothes, then turned his head again, "Where did he come from? He's very faceless. Who are you looking for?"
Fourth Master said hello and then asked: "I'm looking for Yin Changtian. How can I get there?"
"Are you looking for Lao Yin?" The man glanced at the Fourth Master suspiciously, "Who are you?"
"My name is Yin Zhen. Yin Changtian is my father." Fourth Master explained.
The man was confused at first, then suddenly realized: "...Oh! You are his little son..."
The Fourth Master raised his eyebrows. It seemed that this father still cared about his son. He nodded, "Yes! I am my father's youngest son."
"Ouch! I really didn't expect it." He said quickly: "Let's go, let's go! Come with me." As he walked, he said, "I never thought it was you who came. You don't know, your father just came.
At that time, I talked about you every day. You are the youngest, and in this world... I don’t know how you live..."
The Fourth Master was silent, he was also a father, of course he understood the feeling of being a father.
I followed the person who led the way and walked in for more than ten minutes. When I arrived at the door of a corner house, the man shouted loudly, "Lao Yin! Lao Yin! Look who is here. You may not expect it."
A loud voice came from inside, "Who is here? Is it your daughter or your son? Here you go again to show off."
As he said that, the door creaked and opened from the inside.
A thin old man about fifty years old came out. He was wearing an old military coat that had been washed white and had several patches on his body.
"Look who this is?" The leader pointed at Fourth Master and said.
The old man squinted his eyes and looked at the Fourth Master up and down. The difference between a ten-year-old boy and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy was not the slightest bit different. Moreover, the Fourth Master's temperament, no matter how reserved he was, made him different from other peers.
There is an obvious difference. They are acquaintances, and they are hard to recognize at first sight. What's more, they are people whom they have not heard from for six or seven years.
"Father!" Fourth Master knelt on the ground.
In his heart, it was only natural for him to kneel down and give birth to his father. He took over someone else's body and became their son. He had to repay this cause and effect. As a son, it was unfilial to abandon his father when he was in trouble.
He felt that this kneeling was appropriate.
But for others, the son who had not been cared for for so many years suddenly appeared in front of them. He did not resent being implicated by his father, and came to visit him without avoiding suspicion. This is commendable.
Yin Changtian's hands began to shake, "It's Yin Zhen..."
