Since the 1980s, with the further development of reform and opening up, people's concepts have gradually changed.
In particular, the concept of money is becoming more and more important in people's lives and thinking.
The biggest social feature these days is that a large number of young people returning to the city lack employment opportunities and hang out in groups on the streets.
This has led to a gradual increase in public security incidents in the past two years.
This trend will reach its peak next year, in 1983, and will trigger the first severe epidemic in the country.
The Laicheng Mining Bureau has encountered the same situation since a few years ago.
A large number of children of employees returned to the city from the countryside, but the positions and temporary positions that could be arranged by the Laicheng Mining Bureau were already full, and many children of employees who had no employment opportunities had nothing to do all day long.
The fat man learned from the uncles and aunts in the chess and card room about many influential figures among the children of the Mining Bureau at that time.
However, almost none of these young and energetic figures could survive the period from 1983 to 1985.
He even got shot seven or eight times.
The most unfair one was that he had just joined a gang and in order to join them he stole a passerby's hat.
As a result, he was convicted of hooliganism and sentenced to twenty years in prison...
Fatty collected a lot of relevant information through various channels and learned that in 1982, there was a small group of about five children of employees in the family area of the Mining Bureau.
They do almost everything, including fighting, stealing, robbing, causing trouble and molesting.
Among them, the group that was doing the worst and had the least courage was a small group of eight people.
But this small gang was the first to be dealt with after the strict D campaign began.
The biggest crime committed by this small gang was robbing and molesting a female educated youth from outside the city who was about to return to the city in a state-owned restaurant of the Mining Bureau.
A total of 121.32 yuan in cash, 25.4 jin of food coupons, and a lady's watch were stolen.
Because the leader was the cousin of the deputy captain of the joint defense team in the mining bureau's family quarters, the matter was forcibly suppressed by the deputy captain.
But who would have thought that when the crackdown began in August of the following year, this case that had been forcibly suppressed was immediately uncovered and quickly solved.
The final price these people paid was three bullets and a total of 110 years in prison.
In a corner of the lobby of a state-owned restaurant.
Ji Furong was eating meat-filled dumplings with big mouthfuls.
Beside her was a small bundle and a luggage roll.
No one in later generations would have imagined that such a gentle girl could eat so quickly.
But Ji Furong, who had just obtained the approval to return to the city, didn't care about her image. After all, this was her last day in Laicheng area.
She had been working in the rural areas of Laicheng for three years and had not eaten meat so indulgently for a long time.
"No wonder they all say the meat dumplings in this state-owned restaurant are delicious," Ji Furong broke off the last bite of garlic and swallowed the last dumpling happily, "I finally feel comfortable eating it."
Ji Furong was a girl who came from Jiangnan to work in the local village.
Since submitting her application to return to the city, she has resumed her daily bathing habit, so now to outsiders she looks much whiter than others.
Coupled with the remaining grace of a Jiangnan woman, she had already caught the attention of several young men who were eating steamed buns in a corner at the other end of the restaurant.
Coming to this state-owned restaurant to eat dumplings was part of Ji Furong's return plan, because she happened to be changing buses not far from the Mining Bureau's family quarters.
Ji Furong glanced at her lady's watch. The passing car would arrive in about half an hour. She planned to go to the window of the state-owned restaurant as planned to buy some dry food to eat on the road.
It wasn't that there was no dry food for sale at the place where she had originally queued up, but Ji Furong wanted to eat better on the way.
But she never imagined that her greed would eventually lead to such an outcome for her.
Ji Furong, who was carefully opening her handkerchief containing banknotes in front of the sales window, did not notice that there were several people standing not far behind her, staring at her handkerchief with shining eyes.
Just as Ji Furong turned around with the pancake rolled in oil paper, she suddenly felt someone slap her hand and the pancake fell to the ground.
Before she could exclaim, a teasing male voice sounded in her ears.
"Don't you have eyes? You're rubbing grease all over me!"
Ji Furong, who was still in shock, looked up and suddenly felt her wrist tighten.
The man actually grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
"Shut up!"
The fierce roar suppressed Ji Furong's scream.
Another young man came over with a sneer on his face.
"My brother just bought this piece of clothing and spent over a hundred yuan on it! How are you going to compensate me?"
Ji Furong had been doing farm work for three years and was quite strong. She tried her best to break free from the other person's hand, but she didn't expect her bag to be snatched away.
The person who stole the bundle easily found the small handkerchief containing the buns, money and notes.
"It's just this little, I'm afraid it's not enough to compensate!"
"You're being hooligans! You were obviously slapping my hand on purpose, and your clothes are half-new, with several patches on them, and are worth a few dollars at most!"
"Give me back my money, or I'll call the police!"
The young men looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
"Call the police? Go ahead and call. Do you want me to point you in the direction of the joint defense team?"
Ji Furong was flustered and looked around hurriedly, but everyone in the restaurant, including the waiters, lowered their heads and pretended not to see anything.
The spirit of bravery and courage that prevailed in the 1970s seems to have changed a lot in recent years.
The leading young man felt even more proud when he saw this. He knew very well that those who dared to confront them on the streets since last year had been beaten into a cowardice.
