Chapter 405: Poor Calf Puppet

The crystal table lamp on the dark sandalwood table reflects the glittering diamonds.

The cow puppet with its belly ripped open was lying crookedly on the precious table.

The letter was folded back intact.

It was as if it had never been opened, as if by doing this, everything could be restored to what Zhao Sheng had expected.

He gently removed his jeweled cufflinks and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his firm, honey-colored chest.

Zhao Sheng's expressionless face was filled with a gloomy and cold look. When the wind blew, it was like ripples on a lake. Then everything seemed to calm down quickly.

Did she want to take back so easily the sweet love she expressed to him day and night while she lay in his arms?

What is he that is elusive?

Forgot her?

Zhao Sheng looked at the diamond shining under the crystal lamp on the table. A fierce look suddenly appeared between his brows. As he gritted his teeth, an undisguised ruthlessness flashed across his face.

He stood up and walked out of the room, knocking on the bell of his father's room, briefly and quickly, full of his impatience.

After the third knock, Mr. Zhong opened the door and said, "Jiasheng, why aren't you resting yet so late? Is there something wrong?"

Zhao Sheng looked serious and asked in a stern voice, "Can I go back to the north?"

Mr. Zhong frowned, looking very surprised, "Don't you know?"

"When you agreed to come to Hong Kong City, it meant that you had to completely leave the North. Didn't the trustee tell you?"

Seeing his complicated expression, Zhong's father obviously didn't know anything. He turned his head to look inside the house and closed the door. "If you have anything to say, come to the study and talk to me."

The father and son went into the study, one on the left and one on the right, turned on the light and talked at night.

Zhao Sheng tightened his jaw and moved his thin lips slightly, "I can't go back? What if I want to go back?"

Mr. Zhong did not respond to his son's words in order to appease his anger, but chose to let him face the reality.

"No one is stopping you from going back. To be exact, it is the north that is prohibiting you from entering. The problem is not in Hong Kong City, but in the north.

According to the immigration and entry management for visiting relatives there, once you arrive in Hong Kong, your household registration will be cancelled there."

“Nominally it’s a family visit, but if there is real contact from overseas relatives, the North will immediately investigate the backgrounds of both parties.

As a Hong Kong official, I am involved in many factors, and the North will be more sensitive and cautious towards you.

If you are caught illegally entering the country in the north, they will even go deep into the interior from the coast.

I'm afraid I can't save you. I'm too far away to reach you. It's possible that you might catch a cold and die while you're in custody."

"......"

Zhao Sheng's eyes were dim, he looked dejected, with a look of sadness on his face that was hard to conceal.

Father Zhong sighed, feeling somewhat reluctant, "To be honest with you, you can't go back."

Why did he insist on meeting someone who had severed ties and changed his household registration long ago? When did Lin Jie become so confused?

Lin Yiyi's child has a tainted identity, so unless the North changes its policy, there is no chance.

Father Zhong continued in a leisurely tone, "Youyou and Mozi can apply for a family visit for their mother, but because of Lin Yiyi's real parents.

She was pulled in the middle, and the northern side was stuck in the files, and this road was not feasible. "

Zhao Sheng felt like most of his heart was being gouged out, empty, bloody, cold and painful. He considered all the possibilities, but he never expected that he couldn't go back.

He was abandoned and isolated, and he and she became people from two different worlds.

Father Zhong looked at his son's expressionless face and shook his head helplessly. After all, he was young and inexperienced.

"The only other option left is to sneak across the border, but given the reality, the chance of success is almost zero.

The eastern route is to walk over the mountains, the middle route is to swim more than ten kilometers, and the western route is to take a boat.

As the Deputy Director of the Security Bureau, I am naturally aware of the routes you can think of."

"If you sneak into Hong Kong, you might succeed, or it would be much easier a few years or even more than ten years ago.

But now it’s almost impossible.”

Mr. Zhong's words were like steel knives, piercing through hope with every word.

Zhao Sheng's face turned pale and his expression changed several times. There must be a way. There must be one.

"For now, we can only wait. In the past two years, there has been some loosening up in the north, and policies are changing every day.

I said I would help you find a solution, and I wasn't just pretending, you can rest assured."

Mr. Zhong patted his son's shoulder to comfort him.

Zhao Sheng couldn't sleep that night. Hatred and anger kept alternating in her eyes. She knew why she didn't keep him.

How is she going to survive alone in the north?

At this moment, Zhao Sheng regretted not telling her what was buried in Qianzhen's yard.

This cruel woman.

She is capable of abandoning her husband and children.

North of Ze County.

Lin Yiyi took her grain and oil book to the grain station to buy August's share, but was notified that her household registration had been cancelled and she could no longer use the voucher. Her grain and oil book was taken back and destroyed.

It took only two months from June to August to cancel the household registration in the north, which was quite efficient.

Unable to take advantage of the opportunity to buy food and pay off debts before the cancellation of her household registration, Lin Yiyi shrugged helplessly.

I went to the post office, wrote a short letter and mailed it to Ma Dongmei, explaining to her that the grains from March to June 1978 could only be counted as money for her.

He also urged her to read and study, and shared his learning experience with her.

With the end of the rainy season, time is rolling forward.

Zhao Sheng's household registration was cancelled, so naturally there was no such person as him in the steel plant. As for the work station fee, there would be no subsidy. However, Wang Dalu and Xiao Li were entrusted by others to help get the money and bring it to the people in Lihua Lane.

Lin Yiyi received 500 yuan as work fee, plus the savings book that Zhao Sheng left for her, she will be able to live comfortably for the next five or six years.

Time is approaching day by day, the hot summer, the rainy season, and the autumnal equinox.

In a blink of an eye, it was mid-October and the whole country was notified to resume the college entrance examination.

Workers and farmers, educated youth who went to the countryside or returned home, demobilized soldiers, cadres and recent high school graduates can all sign up to participate.

But there is an age limit, not more than 25 years old.

The next morning, Lin Yiyi asked Tian Meiling to accompany her to register, and bought a newspaper with the enrollment colleges and majors for 1977.

"Bring a one-inch photo to pick up your admission ticket before December 5 at the latest."

After signing up, Lin Yiyi finally felt relieved of the things that had been weighing on her mind for years. During these few months, she forced herself to shift her gaze and attention. Everything was just as she had imagined, and time would dilute any grievances.

There are all kinds of people out there trying their best to buy books and materials.

Lin Yiyi, who had been prepared long ago, was enjoying herself at home.

The past few years seem so long ago that they seem like a dream.
