Zhang Bowen has been in Zhoujia Village for two years and has become accustomed to farm work. Today is the day to receive his parcel.
The postman from the post office came to Zhoujia Village very early. When he arrived at the educated youth station, he called out, "Zhang Bowen has your package and a few letters. Come over and sign and you can take them away."
Zhang Bowen walked over, signed, took the package and went back.
The postman also gave Zhou Li a package, asked her to sign, and then rode away on his bike.
Zhang Bowen opened the package and looked at what was inside. There were White Rabbit milk candies, a cotton-padded jacket, two sets of clothes, dozens of Da Tuanjie banknotes, several various receipts, two canned fruits, and dried meat.
Zhang Bowen put them all away and locked them in the cabinet. He took out the letter and opened it. He saw that it was written by his parents, his brother, his grandparents, and others.
The letter only reported the good news, but did not mention what had happened. It spoke to the brother's heart, telling him to take good care of himself in the countryside and not to worry about them. It also asked him to contact the Zhao family.
Since the Zhang family did not take sides and just remained neutral, some people were dissatisfied and thought of framing the Zhang family. The director of the Revolutionary Committee of the Municipal Government looked down on the Zhang family and had long wanted to trick them.
The military also didn't want the Zhang family to interfere with their money-making, so they could only get rid of them so they could do their bad deeds in peace.
When the Qi family was working as spies, the Zhang family had evidence, but the city government would not let them report it.
The Xiao family also didn't want anyone to know what they had done together, so this gave them an excuse to send a member of the Revolutionary Committee to frame the Zhang family for treasonous intentions.
With the cooperation of several parties, they began to search Zhang's house and violently smashed and destroyed Zhang's yard.
Old Master Zhang was also very tough. He did not surrender to the Revolutionary Committee. He grabbed the young clerk and started beating him violently. He only let go when he was almost to death.
The Zhang family's property had been hidden long ago, and it was impossible to find it.
If they couldn't find anything valuable to frame him, that would be a loss. So they asked the clerk to put a few foreign books in Mr. Zhang's study. When they searched the room, they shouted, "The Zhang family has banned books. This is evidence of treason. Arrest them all and send them to labor camps.
This was a conviction. Old Master Zhang had known that this day would come a long time ago and had made arrangements. They packed their luggage and prepared to go to the countryside to work.
The Revolutionary Committee wanted to round up the Zhang family and send them all to labor camps in the northwest, where they would be exhausted and starved to death.
Someone sent him a telegram, telling him not to make arrangements for the Zhang family and to get out.
He was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He arranged for the officers to search the house, but they found nothing. The house was too clean. All the valuables were gone. There were no house deeds or land deeds, and no gold bars. He worked for a whole day in vain.
After leaving Zhang's house, he called Qi's family and explained the situation. Everyone had been sent down and nothing was found during the house search.
The Qi family didn't expect anything, they just wanted to muddy the clear water.
Zhang Bowen was very anxious. Something happened at home and he couldn't help, so he had to ask the Zhao family for help.
He hurried to Zhou Linlin's house and found Zhou Linlin as soon as he entered the yard. He told her that his brother asked him to find Mr. Zhao. Now his family has been framed and sent to the northwest. He hopes that things can change. It is too hard. He doesn't want his mother and father to suffer, and his brother should have the opportunity to continue to serve the country.
Zhou Linlin immediately drove to the post office and called her grandfather to tell him about the persecution of the Zhang family and ask if she could help them.
Mr. Zhao agreed and asked the Zhao family's allies in the military to issue an order to the Yangcheng Municipal Party Committee to change the place of demotion and also to guarantee that no one would be allowed to persecute the Zhang family.
This made Zhao Ergou, the director of the Revolutionary Committee, very angry. He said, "I haven't gotten anything, but I still have to listen to you. It's really aggrieved." He had no choice but to agree and let the Zhang family go to Zhoujia Village.
Zhang Bowen also knew that his parents were coming, so he waited in the commune. The weather was not very cold yet, and he waited for several hours before he saw anyone. He ran to Zhang's mother and father and wanted to hug them, but Grandpa Zhang would not let him and asked his grandson to go by himself. They were here for labor reform, so how could they implicate their grandson?
The village chief is here too. He has no choice but to come or he will be bullied. Someone won't let him go, so he has to go pick them up.
We drove a tractor to pick up the Zhang family, took them back and arranged them in the house built over the cowshed. Before they arrived, we cleaned up the house so it wouldn't be too cold. At least the yard was big enough to accommodate more than a dozen people.
The village chief also collected food in the village and left after making the arrangements.
Zhou Linlin started walking again, without taking her sister with her, and took the train to Guangzhou by herself.
Zhou Linlin left enough food for her sister, including dozens of kilograms of meat, and a large bucket of milk for her sister to drink every day. She also planted an acre of vegetables in the yard, which grew well, so there was no shortage of vegetables to eat. Zhou Linlin left with peace of mind.
After a few days, I arrived in Guangzhou and stayed in a guesthouse. I walked to the room, opened the door, went in and started to take a shower. After that, I started to eat a meal of roast beef to replenish my energy. I ate more than ten pounds of roast steak in the space and drank milk. I felt a little full, so I started exercises to help digest the food. I practiced martial arts for more than an hour, practicing all kinds of routines, and fighting with great vigor.
I was sweating, so I went into the hot spring to wash, and went to sleep as soon as I came out.
At night, they started the operation. They put on a black nightgown, took out weapons and smoke, and set out. They found the home of Zhao Ergou, the revolutionary committee, and jumped into the yard. They found several dogs and threw a few drugged sausages.
The dogs were very happy and started to grab the delicious food. After eating everything, they fainted immediately after watching it.
Zhou Linlin began to observe every room. The yard was not small, more than 600 square meters, with more than a dozen rooms. How greedy must one be to occupy someone else's yard? Everyone in the house had gone to bed. She opened the window of the room, put in a pipe and blew in the smoke that had been increased by dozens of times.
Soon the people inside stopped moving, opened the door, went in and started sweeping, taking away all the things.
Zhou Linlin began to look for the secret passage, and when she found it, she began to collect all the gold bars, antiques, and criminal records.
After the house was cleared out, the whole yard could be described as destitute, more thorough than the raids by the Japanese.
Zhou Linlin also left a few foreign books and the radio he used. After clearing all traces of her, she swaggered out of Zhao Ergou's house.
I went to the Qi family again to clean up the mess, but nothing was left. The Qi family was in a very bad situation this time.
The case was reported the next day, but no one could find out who did it.
Zhou Linlin reported all the bad things Zhao Ergou had done. The city government had no choice but to search his home. They found a radio station and foreign language books. This time he was convicted of treason and his entire family was shot. He also admitted that the Zhang family incident was a false accusation.
Now there is no way to get the Zhang family back. We can only keep the Zhang family’s house and their jobs. No one is allowed to occupy the house. A notice is posted that the Zhang family was framed by the Qi family and the director of the Revolutionary Committee was also a spy and was executed by firing squad.
Zhou Linlin had completed the task of defeating the traitor, so she took the train back to Zhoujia Village.
When we arrived at Zhoujia Village, we found Mr. Zhang and told him that an announcement had been posted saying that you were framed, Zhao Ergou had been executed, and the house had been returned to you. We asked him when you could go back and your job would be returned. Then he left.
