In the past, when he was on the road, he would have cold water and cold steamed bread at noon. How could he have eaten such hot and delicious food?
Seeing that he was still not satisfied, Sangzhi cooked another pot.
Although Sang Bei is young, his appetite has already surpassed hers. The family is not short of food now, and Sang Zhi is happy to let him eat more as long as it does not affect his health.
Director Zhang felt a little embarrassed.
It's both white flour and meat filling, how much food will it cost people?
Seeing that he was about to take out his food coupons, Sangzhi looked displeased.
"Brother Zhang, you are so polite, don't you want to have anything to do with us?
Even a simple meal is so cheap, and since we're riding in your car, I guess I have to pay you for the fare."
After saying that, he pretended to take out money.
How could Zhang Guohua possibly ask them for money? But on second thought, what she said did make sense. Some things are calculated too clearly, which can only make things more distant.
At worst, I can go to the farm and he will take better care of me.
After figuring it out, he didn't hesitate and scooped up a big bowl of wontons.
These wontons are so fresh.
During the break, he introduced the situation of the farm to Sangzhi.
The labor reform farm where they were located was organized into a military unit at the regimental level.
The main administrative departments include: Political Department, Administrative Office, Education Section (to educate prisoners), Prison Investigation Section (for prison reconnaissance), Employment Section, Supply and Marketing Section, Finance Section, Life Section, Infrastructure Section, and Production Section.
There are six branch farms under the main farm, equipped with a repair shop, test team, hospital, primary school and middle school.
There is also a 'Beidacang' which is dedicated to storing produced grain.
Each branch farm has four to five teams, which are engaged in production activities such as agriculture, vegetable, forestry and fruit planting.
So even though they are prisoners, they still have to do farm work every day and are not idle.
Now one company is in charge of two branch farms.
There is a settlement in each branch, which has a canteen and residences for caretakers.
Don't underestimate it, it's just a labor camp.
But the people inside are a mixed bunch, including prisoners, correctional officers, family members and children. It is completely a small society.
Due to confidentiality regulations, he did not tell Sangzhi the exact number of people, but only said in general that there were several thousand people.
Among the prisoners in labor camps there are political prisoners, criminal prisoners, and gangsters.
“Your brother is considered a political prisoner, but when collecting information, several types of criminals are mixed together for reform.
Once we get there today, settle in first, and then I'll look for an opportunity to see if I can arrange a meeting for you tomorrow."
Sangzhi nodded nervously.
After eating and clearing away the dishes, the few of them did not delay and continued on their journey while it was still early.
Interestingly, they passed by a place nearly an hour away from their destination.
Sangzhi felt that this place looked familiar at that time.
It seems like I’ve seen it in a dream.
The difference is that in the dream, the earth and mountains are covered with white snow.
At this time, the ground was covered with weeds.
However, the mountain scenery that has not been artificially developed is mostly the same.
Sangzhi didn't take it to heart.
This time they didn't stop in the middle, and they didn't reach their destination until around five in the evening, when it was almost dark.
The scenery in winter is already bleak, and the most exaggerated thing is that at three o'clock, after driving for two hours, all you see is a vast wilderness.
It wasn't until we got closer to the farm that we saw more signs of human life.
Director Zhang said that after the labor reform farm was built, it attracted many people to move in and settle down with their families.
In addition, the prisoners who had completed their labor reform became accustomed to life here and settled nearby.
The neighboring villages and towns began to prosper.
As we approached the farm, the first thing we saw were sentries standing around it and a searchlight moving overhead.
Surrounded by a crisscross of guardhouses and barbed wire, the car drove to the sentry post.
Director Zhang’s identity and ID were verified.
Only after registering the siblings' specific information did the sentry let them pass.
"I'm usually on duty and live in the dormitory. My house is empty, so you can stay there for the next two days. If you need anything, let me know immediately and I'll have someone deliver it to you."
Sangzhi was prepared to disturb him before she came.
Hearing this, he nodded gratefully without any pretense.
Director Zhang is the leader of the second division. He has a house in the residential area. When the car was driving there, he also passed by the prison cell.
The cell wall is nearly three meters high, a brick-red wall, and only one brick thick. If there were no barbed wire on the wall.
Sangzhi felt that with her abilities, escaping from prison would not be a difficult task.
Sang Bei also saw this scene.
Children can't keep things secret, so they asked questions that Sangzhi was also curious about.
"Uncle Zhang, the wall is so low, haven't any prisoners escaped?"
Zhang Guohua smiled and said, "Yes, of course you can. You saw it on the way here. There are farmlands outside.
In the second half of each year, when crops such as corn and sorghum grow up, it looks like a "green tent".
In the first few years, some prisoners took advantage of lax management and dug holes directly outside the wall. With crops as cover, they actually escaped.
But after the military control committee moved in, those uncles continued to patrol, and that kind of thing never happened again."
The car quickly passed by the cell, and Sangzhi looked away with regret.
Three minutes later, they arrived at the settlement.
It can be seen that Director Zhang has a high status here. The house allocated to him is in front of the telephone station and to the left of the cafeteria.
There are many sycamore trees around the yard. In summer, it must be cool with the shade of the leaves.
As soon as the car stopped, the neighbors who heard the noise came out.
Everyone was quite worried when Zhang Guohua didn't return for a long time after he went back.
It's good to be back.
But when the car door opened, it wasn't him who came out.
