"Big brother, is something wrong? Mom rarely holds meetings for us."
"I don't know, we'll find out when we get there."
"Since everyone's here, get ready quickly. I'm holding a meeting for you all; it's extremely important, so you all need to make sure you're properly invited, understand?"
"knew."
"Then listen to me carefully. From now on, you can't go anywhere after school, and you can't linger outside. You have to come home as soon as possible, and you can't go out again after you come back, understand?"
"Mom, has something happened?"
“It’s not that something has happened, but something is about to happen. This is a very serious matter. If you’re not careful, you could end up in jail. And no matter how much power or money you have, you might not be able to get him out.”
"Mom, what's this?"
"Don't speak yet, listen carefully to what Mom has to say."
"oh!"
"Recently, the authorities are going to launch a 'crackdown,' which targets street thugs and the like—those who cause trouble for no reason, or those who lead a group of friends to fight everywhere."
You are all children, so you must not get involved in these things. Also, it's best not to watch anything exciting.
Starting tomorrow, after school, you two, the second and third kids, go directly to the elementary school to pick up Biscuits, Dumplings, and Little Ten and go home together.
Biscuits and Dumplings, you are the older brothers and sisters. After school, you must wait for your younger brother, Xiao Shi, at school so your second and third brothers can pick you up. If anyone else comes to pick you up, no one but family members can go with you, understand?
"Okay, Mom. Don't worry, I'll take good care of Xiao Shi."
"Third Aunt, don't worry! I will stay obediently with my brother and sister."
"Third Aunt, please be careful. I will take good care of my younger brother and sister. And please remember that we will not go with anyone except our family members who come to pick us up."
"Just remember that."
Fourth brother, from now on, after school you'll wait for your older brother at school so you can go home together. If you're hungry, grab a quick bite at school and eat your full meal when you get home. Remember, you absolutely cannot go home alone, understand?
"Okay, Mom."
"As for you guys, go home together after school. Remember, you can't go out alone, understand?"
"Mom, how long will it take?"
"I don't know! But I'll let everyone know after this is over."
Also, the most important thing during this time is to take good care of yourselves. You are still children. Even if you have been practicing martial arts since you were young, you are no match for adults. So don't meddle in other people's business after school, understand?
Finally, once you get home, if you feel bored, you can do your homework or read. If you're really bored, you can tear the house down, but you can't go out to play, understand?
"knew."
...
"Duan Miao, tell everyone not to wander around the streets unless they have to. Whether they have something to do or not, make sure they go home as soon as they get off work."
"Sis, is something wrong?"
"I can't go into details about what happened. Just remember what I said and pass it on to Sister Wang and the others."
"Okay, I understand."
The crackdown on each other is aimed at maintaining public order and protecting people's rights.
The first campaign focuses on cracking down on hooligan criminals and gangs, namely "surface-level criminal offenses," while also severely cracking down on murder, robbery, and major theft, and expediting the investigation of major cases and long-standing unsolved cases.
The second phase began with a deeper investigation of the criminal gang.
The third campaign will continue to focus on both severely cracking down on crime and implementing comprehensive governance measures, combining crackdown, prevention, and development to lay a solid foundation for long-term stability and security.
It's safe to say that every day you hear about theft of public or private property, particularly theft of a substantial amount, or repeated theft, burglary, theft with a weapon, or pickpocketing, punishable by imprisonment of up to three years, detention, or public surveillance, and a fine; theft of a huge amount or other serious circumstances punishable by imprisonment of three to ten years, and a fine; theft of an especially huge amount or other especially serious circumstances punishable by imprisonment of ten years or more, or life imprisonment, and a fine or confiscation of property.
These are all things I've seen and heard, but the most important thing is that sometimes at night I can clearly hear sounds of people being dragged away.
Not only are the police officers busy, but sometimes even Third Brother and his men are busy with the same things. However, when they are needed, it means that the matter is not of a normal nature.
I just didn't expect this crackdown to last so long, taking three years in total. But luckily, I had talked to my children about it beforehand.
Another thing is that we make them read the newspaper every day and talk about what happened, so that they can realize the seriousness of the matter.
Even I never imagined that in three years, not only the older kids like Mantou, but even the youngest Xiao Shi would change in temperament, no longer being impulsive but becoming more composed.
The children in the family are behaving more and more like adults, which is something no one expected, and the most unexpected thing. By reading the newspaper every day and analyzing the importance of things, plus the guidance of the elders in the family, the children in the family have all become little foxes, with a lot of tricks up their sleeves. Ordinary people are really no match for them.
...
After the land contract system was fully implemented, I contracted a piece of land near Miaoshan, which included mountainous areas, forest land, and existing planted land.
Another reason is that since the factory is now under the military's jurisdiction, and I can hire people to work, I used my own name and my mother's name to hire a few elderly farmers in Miaoshan, along with other villagers, to help with land preparation.
During this period, he spent his own money to buy four tractors and other agricultural machinery. He helped the nearby villagers by exchanging labor.
It can be said that they use their mobile phones to drive tractors to cultivate the land and harvest crops, while the others work manually in the woodlands and mountains.
As for the fuel for the tractors, they don't need to pay for it themselves; they can simply pay for it with their labor.
While they were clearing the original land, Zhang Jie, who had been working in the Production and Construction Corps, and several other veteran comrades insisted on coming along.
These are all retired cadres. They have nothing to do at home, so they either fish or play chess. When they heard that they had contracted a barren mountain and planned to plant crops on it, they insisted on coming along. They even said that if they didn't want them to come, they could just call a car and come by themselves.
