Shen Qingyun really couldn't get any information out of the neighborhood committee, so he had no choice but to go to the local police station.
After arriving there, he took out the letter of introduction issued by the regiment and just mentioned Du Changyu's name. Unexpectedly, the police officer opposite suddenly raised his head and asked excitedly: "Comrade, are you from the pioneer battalion?"
Shen Qingyun was silent for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Yes."
He knew, because the letter of introduction given by the regiment had the serial number written on it, and as long as they were not in the same system, who could really figure out which serial number represented which unit?
The policeman opposite could mention the Pioneer Camp right away, which meant he must know something about the situation.
When the policeman heard Shen Qingyun say that he was from the Pioneer Camp, he suddenly became very enthusiastic.
He quickly stood up and led him to a small room with a table and chairs, which looked like a conference room, and then said to him, "Comrade Shen, please wait a moment. I will go talk to our director and ask him to come and talk to you."
After saying that, he ran out in a hurry.
Shen Qingyun sat in the room and waited quietly, but his mind was never idle for a minute.
Of course he was very happy to hear news about Du Changyu here. But suddenly being paid so much attention made him tense up.
He always felt that there must be something going on, something big, but he had no idea what it was.
While he was thinking about how to answer later, he decided to talk less and listen more, and if something bad really happened, he would find a way to get out of it immediately.
In short, you can't bring the trouble to your two children.
While Shen Qingyun was still thinking nervously, the young policeman came in with an old policeman who looked to be in his fifties.
It seems that this person must be the director he mentioned before.
Shen Qingyun quickly stood up and introduced himself to the director.
I heard that he used to be the battalion commander of the Pioneer Battalion, but has now been transferred.
Because I knew Du Changyu before, I took some time off during this business trip to come to his home to visit his family, but I found that no one was at home.
When he came to the police station to inquire about the Du family's situation, Chief Zhao's eyes showed obvious disappointment.
After Shen Qingyun finished speaking, Director Zhao asked tentatively: "Captain Shen, I want to ask, do you know the address of the Pioneer Battalion?"
Shen Qingyun was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Yes. I am still in contact with the camp. What's the matter?"
Upon hearing what he said, Chief Zhao's expression suddenly relaxed a lot, and the young policeman next to him also became happy.
Director Zhao immediately urged the young policeman: "Hurry up and get a pen and paper, and ask Captain Shen to leave the address, and make sure you remember it clearly."
The young policeman agreed and ran out.
Afterwards, he said to Shen Qingyun: "Captain Shen, you don't know, we really tried very hard to find your Vanguard Battalion, but we couldn't find it! What kind of confidential unit is this? Why is it so hard to find?"
Shen Qingyun was completely confused by his question.
The Pioneer Battalion is indeed a confidential unit, and the unit’s address is not disclosed to the public.
But this does not mean that the camp cannot contact the outside world.
If there is anything, you can contact the division, regiment, or local public security bureau, police station, or even the revolutionary committee.
How come it seems like being isolated from the world when it comes to Director Zhao?
Not to mention the Pioneer Camp, even if one really needed to find someone on Zhongshan Island, they would be found, the only difference being that the procedures would be more complicated.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there must be something wrong.
Shen Qingyun thought for a moment and spoke again, "Director Zhao, I wonder what you want to talk to the camp about? Can you tell me?
To be honest with you, after finishing things in the capital, I have to go back to the Vanguard Camp to take care of some things.
If it's not a confidential matter, do you need me to pass a message to the camp or deliver a letter for you? ”
When Director Zhao heard that he was going back to the Pioneer Camp, he became even happier.
He stood up excitedly and asked Shen Qingyun if his cup was full of water. Then he said, "Hey, Captain Shen, if you can bring us a letter of coordination, thank you very much!
To be honest, we have already written more than five or six letters to your city's Public Security Bureau and the Revolutionary Committee for this coordination letter.
I asked them to help find the specific location and address of your camp, but no one responded.
If no one responds again, we'll have to send someone over to look for it ourselves. But look at what we have…”
At this point, Director Zhao gave a bitter smile and said, "There are only three people who actually do the work, including me. I really can't spare any more manpower."
Shen Qingyun nodded.
Because of the current social trend, police stations in many places have merged with the Revolutionary Committee to work together.
Those people are good at fighting and killing, but they are not good at getting things done.
It seemed like he had been there for so long, and after looking around, he saw that the only one busy outside was the young policeman, while a bunch of other people were chatting and dozing off idly.
"What coordination letter? Could you please tell me the content? After all, I have to report to the leaders of the group when I go back." Shen Qingyun asked again.
"Of course, of course." Director Zhao nodded quickly.
"Actually, this is not a big deal. I'm just asking the people from the Foreign Affairs Office to find out if there are any other people in Du Changyu's family.
When we went to the neighborhood committee to inquire, we heard from an old neighbor that when his parents were alive, they once said that he had a son. I don’t know if that son is still alive? ”
"Why are you asking about his son? The Foreign Affairs Office? What's the relationship between the Du family and the Foreign Affairs Office?"
Director Zhao's words made Shen Qingyun's heart skip a beat. He didn't care whether his urgent questioning would make this person suspect something, so he asked repeatedly.
Fortunately, Director Zhao didn't think much about it, or maybe he didn't think this was a very important matter at all. When he heard Shen Qingyun's question, he told him everything in one go.
It turned out that in the first half of this year, a US delegation came to Beijing to visit China. The level of the delegation was very high and needed to be received by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
There was an accompanying staff member in the group, who found the reception staff and made a request to them before leaving at the end of the visit.
He said that the father of a good friend of his asked him to come back and find the Du family. Say you want to know how they are doing now and if there is anything they can do to help?
The man said that his good friend's father was very worried about his cousins and wanted to provide them with some help. If possible, I hope the government can help him fulfill this wish.
Director Zhao didn't explain it very clearly, but Shen Qingyun understood it immediately.
The person living in the United States he mentioned should be the cousin who caused Du Changyu's family to fall apart and be destroyed.
He might have been abroad for these years and felt uneasy knowing that the Du family was being dragged down by him, but he really couldn't help. Can't even get in touch.
And now, I don’t know how many connections I used, but I was able to get on board as a member of the visiting delegation to China when China and the United States established diplomatic relations and relations were at their most relaxed.
I want to use this method to get in touch with the Du family.
However, when he was thinking of these solutions, he might not have known that there were almost no people left in the Du family.
"The comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told the American that they could help his friend find the Du family and help them understand the Du family's situation. But the help they provided was no longer needed.
If our people encounter difficulties, the country will never sit idly by. Nor will they be reduced to the point where they need to ask for help from foreign friends.
After seeing that group of people off, the comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs entrusted the matter to the Foreign Affairs Office, and the Foreign Affairs Office found us.
After the Chinese New Year, that group of people might come again, and by then we have to give them a response to this matter. ”
At this point, Director Zhao sighed, "Captain Shen, you don't understand how hard it is for us! This leader just opens his mouth and we have to run around. The Foreign Affairs Office just made a phone call, set a deadline for us, and then didn't care about anything else.
But you say, there are only a few of us, who can run so far to find out the situation? Besides, there is no funding. ”
After hearing what he said, Shen Qingyun finally understood everything and his tense nerves relaxed.
At this moment, he has almost sorted out the matter.
According to Director Zhao, they had written several letters to the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the Revolutionary Committee, but in the end they received no response.
And according to what Xiao Zhang said before, the man that Dabao’s biological mother found has some influence in the city.
If he was not mistaken, that person either knew someone from the Public Security Bureau or someone from the Revolutionary Committee. You know, in the city, these two units are also combined into one office.
If this is indeed the case, then the rest of the story will follow naturally.
The man must have found out through some connection that the capital was looking for Du Changyu's family, and asked the unit to help send them back to the capital.
It is estimated that the coordination letter also explained the whole story, which made the couple feel that it was profitable.
But given the situation at the time, the woman had remarried, and it was obviously impossible for her family members to show up. So they set their sights on the two children.
They found a way to intercept the coordination letters sent from the capital, and then started to make a scene and try to snatch the child away.
I guess if Dabao and the others were really sent back, they would definitely bring the two children to Beijing as soon as possible, and it is very likely that they would negotiate conditions with the country in their name.
When Shen Qingyun thought of this, he felt extremely disgusted. I just felt that the decision to discuss this trip with Qi Feng was a wise one.
Speaking of which, this is really a good thing for the two children.
Although he could clearly see that neither the Foreign Affairs Office nor the police station was very enthusiastic about this matter.
Perhaps in their eyes, the Du family is still the family with overseas connections who deserve to be arrested and sent to labor camps.
However, Shen Qingyun, who has always been extremely sensitive to politics, knows that even if there are overseas connections, it depends on who they are with.
If those countries have not established diplomatic relations with our country until now, such an identity can really be overwhelming.
But the relative of the Du family is in the United States.
Both countries are now making active efforts to restore normal diplomatic relations.
At this time, it is impossible for the country not to try its best to meet the reasonable demands raised by the other party.
If Dabao and his sister were to come out and acknowledge their identity as a member of the Du family now, it is possible that this would change the current situation.
Shen Qingyun didn't expect to get any benefits from those people.
But he thought that if he could use this incident to remove the label of "collusion with foreign countries" from the two children's father's family, his good brother would be able to rest in peace even in his grave.
Moreover, it will only benefit the future growth of the two children and will not cause any harm.
After figuring this out, Shen Qingyun simply explained his identity to Director Zhao.
After hearing that he was the adoptive father of the two children of the Du family, and that the two children now lived with him, there was no need to contact the Pioneer Camp anymore.
Director Zhao didn't even bother to pursue the fact that he had lied before, and grabbed him and said, "Captain Shen, come with me to the Foreign Affairs Office now."
It was as if they were afraid that he would disappear on the spot.
When Yin Xiaoman heard this, he felt as if he was listening to a story, and a story with extremely twists and turns in the plot.
She had been worrying for so long, thinking of all kinds of worst-case possibilities, and in the end, it turned out to be a good thing? !
"So what should we do now? Should we help Dabao and the others pack their luggage? Who will go to the capital with them? Do you have to make another trip?"
The more she spoke, the more nervous she became, and she couldn't wait to take action.
Seeing her like this, Shen Qingyun smiled.
He took his wife's hand soothingly and motioned for her to sit down next to him.
"I've told you, everything has been resolved. If it weren't for the purpose of getting things done once and for all, I wouldn't have stayed out so long. If the two of them don't have to go to the capital, I won't go either."
"But didn't you say that those people wanted to see Dabao and the other one?" Yin Xiaoman was a little confused.
If she swore to never let anyone take her child away last time, then wouldn't it be stupid to not let them go this time? !
If there was anything that could be good for the children, she would have wished she could send the brother and sister over herself.
Hearing her ask this, a hint of subtle sarcasm flashed across Shen Qingyun's eyes.
He smiled and said, "Those people don't really want to see the two children, they are just going through the motions.
I told them that we are a confidential unit and even the two children cannot leave at will. If you must go to the capital, you have to go through layers of approval.
When they heard that this matter was so troublesome, they immediately said there was no need to come. As long as they had a certificate from their work unit confirming that the child was Du Changyu's, there would be no mistake. It is not necessary to meet the real person.
So I called Commander Cheng in Beijing and asked him to help get a certificate issued by the regiment and send it to Beijing. ”
"So you have been in Beijing for so long just waiting for this proof?" Yin Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief.
"Not entirely." Shen Qingyun shook his head.
"I also have to fight for the rights of our son and daughter!" he said with a smile.
"That's right." Yin Xiaoman responded with deep conviction.
"I asked them to restore the reputation of the Du family. The people in the Foreign Affairs Office said they didn't have the authority to do so and that they had to report it to their superiors. It took almost half a month to go through all the reporting. In the end, it was not approved."
"Ah..." Yin Xiaoman's face suddenly fell.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Just now, the man came back and said that everything had been done, so she thought there was no problem.
But now it seems that is far from the case.
"The Du family is all dead. Restoring their reputation at this time is basically equivalent to declaring that the previous punishment on them was wrong. No one is willing to take this responsibility. I was too naive before."
Shen Qingyun sighed.
"However, the people from the Foreign Affairs Office did help. Because Dabao's father was a martyr, they helped Dabao and his sister apply for a martyr's family subsidy.
The payment starts from the year Du Ge passed away and continues until the two children turn 18 years old. They are given a living allowance of 20 yuan each month.
In the previous eight years, all the subsidies for the two children, 3,800 yuan, were directly transferred from the Civil Affairs Department to the Security Corps, and will be paid to us along with our wages this month.
By then, this money..."
"Leave it for them." Yin Xiaoman quickly interrupted Shen Qingyun before he could finish his words.
Although Yin Xiaoman was a little confused by the sudden number, he was not confused at all.
This is the father of Dabao and Erniu. He earned this for his children with his own life, so he has to take care of the two children no matter what.
Ignoring the man's admiring look, she pondered and said slowly, "Although I don't know how many years I have to stay on this island, I think the children will be able to leave the island one day.
This money, including future money, cannot be touched. This money must be saved to buy a house and land for the two children in the future.
If possible, it would be good to use this money to go to school in the future. ”
Although she didn't know what the future would be like, Yin Xiaoman could tell from the man's words that Dabao and Erniu's ancestral homes were both in Beijing.
Erniu is fine, as she is a girl, there is no problem of continuing the family line. But Dabao——
He is the only child left in the Du family.
Even though Shen Qingyun didn't mention it, Yin Xiaoman understood that the man must still hope that Dabao would be able to return to the Du family one day in the future and shoulder the burden that he should shoulder.
But this thing is easy to think about but difficult to do.
Dabao and Erniu have been in the army since they were born and have been hanging around in this small circle for many years. Our understanding of the outside world is almost zero.
Apart from anything else, if I want to settle down in the capital, I don’t even have any relatives or friends who can help me.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, which one of these can be free?
Even his ancestral home has been distributed by the government to other people. It is estimated that he will not even have a roof over his head...
The more Yin Xiaoman thought about it, the more she felt sorry for her eldest son.
She had even started thinking about how to save more money so that she could save more for her eldest son.
At this moment, the man's words attracted her attention again.
"After I finished my work in the capital, I went to the Vanguard Group again and completely resolved the matter with that woman."
