"Xiyu and Jaylen are coming? Are they planning together?"

"No, it's just a chance. Maybe I thought of going together, right?"

"How are they now?"

"Jaylen is at work and is in a restaurant in Chongqing. She seems to be learning to be a chef. Xiyu has not yet worked. He didn't say it very clearly in his letter. Maybe it's a matter of trouble."

Xu Yunjian smacked his lips regretfully and lit a cigarette, "Xiyu, you are a good person and a righteous person, but he is too wild. He almost fought Zhuang Xiaoyong for the sake of the strong British and American affairs. Do you still remember it? Later, he almost beat Erdanzi, right?"

"Maybe it's because they are from the Northwest? I've heard that the people there are wild people. After saying a word, they will search the guys."

Lu Li shook his head, "No matter what, Xiyu is coming, if he doesn't say anything, we will not say anything, and live as long as we want to live - I will ask my second sister to apply for a temporary residence permit for him and rest in this room."

"It's even night to show us." Zhang Qing laughed and said, "Why should I pay him a salary?"

"Stop talking nonsense! They are friends, come and see us. What are you thinking?"

Seeing his face slightly dark, the few people stopped laughing, "Then, what's going on with Jaylen?"

"How do I know? Just come and see everyone? Don't say so much, you'll know when they both come."

A week later, Jay Chou walked out of the train station and hugged Luli with a big hug, "Haha! Xiaoxiao, long time no see!"

Luli patted his back and the two separated, "How are you? You've been walking for several days this time?"

"Isn't it? I'm so tired from two days and two nights! Let's go? It's your place here. Wouldn't you let your buddy sleep on the street?"

"We will wait a little longer, you may not know that Xiyu has also sent a letter. She arrived on the same day as you, just a few hours later than your train."

Jay Chou was overjoyed, "Really? Oh, this turtle son, I haven't contacted him for a long time since I left Lin Bian. After I came back, I wrote a letter to him, but he didn't reply, a turtle son thing."

Luli was amused, "Hey, you didn't say it very clearly in the letter. What are you doing in Chongqing now? How many days can you stay here this time?"

"It's only one week?" Jay Chou said: "My mother contacted me. She worked in a restaurant and was considered a unit of the whole country. But now she is still doing odd jobs and stakes..., don't you understand? She cut vegetables in advance, such as radish, cucumber, chili, onion, tomatoes, and cut them. When the guests are coming, she is responsible for the side dishes - that is, prepare the ingredients needed for each dish, such as fish-flavored shredded pork, which must be plated with shredded carrots, shredded pork, red pepper, shredded ginger, etc., and wait for the master to put them in the pot."

Luli was overjoyed and kept laughing, "Just do this? It's nothing. It's much easier than working in the countryside. She still has a salary of more than 30 yuan a month. It's good, not bad."

"Great ghost! Xiao Lu, you don't know that there are no idle people in the kitchen. Really, if you have time to sit down with those aunts to pick vegetables, you will be able to live easily! My wrist and knife are all full of tendonitis." Jay Chou said with a wry smile: "Hey, what are you doing now?"

"I, let's talk together when Xiyu comes."

"What, it's so mysterious?"

The two of them were talking at the train station and waiting for more than an hour. The train from Xi'an entered the station. Passengers carrying large and small bags walked out of the station gate. In this era, business trips to other places are for business purposes, because very few people go out for private affairs. After less than five minutes, the crowd began to be sparse, but Wang Xiyu was not there. "What's wrong, did he say he's here today?"

"Yes, the last time he sent me the letter he said was from today's train. Was there something delayed? Let's go in and take a look?"

"Let's go." The two of them raised their steps forward, and a person suddenly flashed by the roadside. They were covered in rags and their hair was dirty. A pungent smell rushed straight into the nose tube, "Xiao Lu, Xiao Zhou?"

The two of them stopped in shock and looked at the guy. They grinned at the same time, "Guawazi, can't recognize melon?"

"Xiyu? Why are you... so unlucky now?"

"Don't mention it! The goose came by the coal-pulling train! Is there any food? The goose starved to death."

"Not now, let's go, I'll take you back first, you..." Lu Li looked at him up and down, frowned, "Lao Wang, what did you do? You don't even have the money to buy a train ticket?"

"Don't say so much, take me to dinner first. I haven't eaten for three days. I'm starving to death."

The three of them got on the No. 24 bus, and it was fine if Lu Zhou and two were not there, but Wang Xiyu was so angry that he finally heard Lu Li speak in a Tianjin accent, so he didn't want to say much. The three of them sat at the Quanyechang Station and got off the bus like a rat crossing the street, "Xiao Lu, where are you going to take us?"

"Let me go, don't worry, I won't harm you." Lu Li led the way in front and led the two of them to the destination. When he arrived at the location, Jay Chou didn't care. Wang Xiyu was really scared: Mom, hey, facing the gate of the Public Security Bureau! Lu Li didn't want to send herself in? His face turned pale for a moment, but fortunately, the cinder and dust were covered in his head, so he couldn't tell.

"Hey? Old Zhou?" Xu Yunjian laughed, put down his business and welcomed him, hugged Jay Chou with big hugs. They were both old friends, so there was no need to mention the intimacy, "Hey, Xiaoxiao, didn't you say there is still Xiyu? Where is the person? He didn't come?"

Lu Li pushed Wang Xiyu forward, "Who said he didn't come? Isn't this?"

Zhang Qing and Xu Yunjian carefully distinguished each other, and then they recognized him, "Oh, Lao Wang, what's wrong with you? Why... Is this unlucky virtue?"

"Well, Xu Yunjian, you go to Liaoning Road first, find a restaurant to order some dishes for Xi Yu, and add a pound of rice. He hasn't eaten for several days - Lao Zhou, how are you?"

"I'm fine, I'm just a little thirsty." Jay Chou said with a smile: "Hey, you guys are... these are self-employed, right? Are you doing this now?"

"Yes." Lu Li nodded, "Zhang Qing, take Lao Zhouzhang, take whatever you like, I will say a few words to Xiyu."

From Wang Xiyu's look of escaping, several people could guess some clues. Knowing that he might have encountered something, he nodded as if he was not aware of it, and then he and Wang Xiyu entered the house. "Xiyu, you bear it first. I'll let Xu Yunjian buy vegetables for you. When you come back, you can eat first. After you finish eating, take you and Jay Chou to take a shower - when you get home, don't think too much about anything else, just keep your heart in your stomach. We are buddies, I won't hide it from you. In the past six months, I have made some money. It's no problem to say that you support a living person!"

"Little Lu...brother...thank you!"

"Don't be kind. By the way, what's going on?"

"My buddy is in trouble!"

"oh?"

Wang Xiyu sighed and spoke in a low voice.

He went back to the city in the middle of 1978. When he returned to Xi'an, he completed the transfer of household registration. What followed was the work issue. Wang's father worked in the Citizens' (Political) Bureau. According to the principle of replacement, Wang Xiyu could go to work smoothly, but he gave this opportunity to his sister. In his words, it was really meaningless to be one of the "Eight Majors". What does it look like to be a young man who sat in the office all day long? I have hands and feet, but can I starve to death?

The Wang couple thought it was reasonable and followed their son's opinions. They didn't expect that as more and more people returned to the city, the work became more and more difficult to find. The two elders of the Wang family were honest people without power and power. They didn't know anything about the back door and finding ways. Seeing that their son had no job, they were just anxious, but they couldn't help with anything.

It was postponed until the Spring Festival in 1979, and Wang Xiyu still had no job and had to eat the elderly at home. This made men in their early twenties feel particularly ashamed. They seemed to be unable to raise their heads in front of their family members, so they would never pay for their homes every day, becoming one of the unemployed young people wandering among the cities. This kind of life is very bad. Not only will it feel that no one cares about me, but in reality, it is also easy to make friends with a group of people with the same background and the same situation. Wang Xiyu is like this.

The next thing is simpler. Eleven or two young people gather together all day long to sigh for their own life experiences. Over time, their relationships become deeper and they can speak without any scruples. When talking about this kind of hopeless life, everyone develops from the initial sigh to resentment!

Sitting under the wall of the Xi'an City Wall, the March sun shone on his body, and several people were smoking and chatting, "My brother and their unit are so good. Good guy, during the Chinese New Year, an employee gave thirteen kilograms of hairtail fish!" One of the guys surnamed Tang said, "Tell me, is there any reason to say? We don't even have a job, and they give thirteen kilograms of hairtail fish alone?"

"What unit is that good?"

"Lock the factory." Tang said in a nautilitly, "There are more than 800 employees in this unit. The workers who have just entered the factory can get more than 30 yuan a month. I heard that many children from smart families in the city are in this factory. My brother... that's really awesome!"

“What do they do?”

"Who knows, it's just a lock anyway."

"Why, let's get some money?" Wang Xiyu suddenly became interested, "How about it? Let's get some money to spend it?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I didn't say anything. Go in and take a look tomorrow. I'll get out of the guys tonight!"

There was also a timid among the people who said timidly: "I'm afraid this is illegal, right?"

"What law is we breaking? We just want to have a meal. What law is we breaking? The Communist Party will not let the people starve to death! What are we afraid of?"

As soon as he made a promise, more than a dozen people started to act the next day. Wang Xiyu was too brave and led a dozen people to push the tricycle and stole more than 300 kilograms of scrap metal from the factory where the unit was piled up waste! When he was about to go out, he didn't forget to say hello to the guard with a smile! Selling the scrap metal, everyone had a big meal, and the remaining money was distributed equally. Wang Xiyu got more than 20 yuan! This was really earned by both hands. Wang Xiyu was overjoyed and consciously discovered a great way to make a fortune.

In the past three months, the theft gang committed crimes many times, and later pulled Tang's brother in. The other party was a group leader in the stamping workshop. His wife was four or five months pregnant and always wanted to take some nutritional supplements, but with his salary, he couldn't afford to make ends meet. He encouraged his younger brother and Wang Xiyu, and couldn't resist, so he got into the water.

Someone in the factory responded, and Wang Xiyu and others were even more in water. In three months, they stole more than two tons of scrap metal from the machinery factory, worth more than 10,000 yuan! That's not to mention that Wang Xiyu was getting more and more courageous. The scrap steel was no longer favorable and put his ideas on the copper material used in the stamping workshop. This kind of thing is more valuable than steel. He also went to the workshop with someone with Tang to see it. The complete copper material was processed and used by the punching press and turned into copper beans in one groove, and then transported to the assembly workshop and placed in the lock core - this is a good thing, with a large portion and a higher value; the best thing is that no one will pay attention to whether it is much less, and it is more convenient to transport!

So he discussed with Mr. Tang and asked the other party to put a lunch box in an aluminum lunch box with rice every day, wait for a week, and then sell it in a concentrated manner. Mr. Tang also thought this was a good idea. After all, compared with using tricycles to transport scrap steel, no one would doubt what would be hidden in the lunch box in the leather schoolbag, right? So several people worked together and the business was very prosperous!

But after being a thief for a long time, it is inevitable that people will be discovered. The incident was caused by accident. As an insider, someone from Tang once sold it with them. They found a local waste recycling station. While waiting for the weighing, the staff of the waste recycling station heard the conversation between the two people, "It's not possible recently."

"Why are you?"

"My aunt is going to give birth."

This sentence later became an important clue to solving the case. When the money was settled, Jingzha occasionally went to the waste recycling station to inspect it. This kind of thing happened frequently in the era of the time, but there was no other reason. The waste recycling station was a place for many thieves to sell stolen goods. When Jingzha arrived, he found that the copper material in the sack was used to fit the lock core. He took it in his hand, like a handful of gold beans, heavy and beautiful!

But in Jingzhang, this is not just as simple as looking good. After asking, the other party had neither a letter of introduction nor relevant supporting documents, and even knew the name. He knew that there was a problem. He visited one by one and soon found the root cause in the lock factory. "That's right, it was produced here."

Next, I searched for the perpetrator through the words "My aunt is about to give birth." First, through the factory, people who may have contacted these things will be found in the conference room, line up, and then called the staff of the waste recycling station. Captain Zhengjing handed him a cigarette, "Don't be afraid, light the cigarette and go in. It's him, just snatch the cigarette in front of him, and then you come out. You don't have to worry about the following things, do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand." The staff member went in and walked around, but did nothing, turned around and walked out.

"What's going on? No?"

"I can't recognize this... I saw someone who seemed to be him."

Captain Xingjing raised his hand and slapped him in the face! "CNM Ni! Why don't you move when you see it? Which one is it?"

"Yes...is the fourth one on the right."

"Get in and bring him out!"

Tang was arrested and wanted to resist for a few days at the beginning. After two electric sticks, he confessed truthfully like pouring beans on bamboo tubes. This incident attracted the attention of local elites. Even if more than four people committed the crime, the nature of the crime was escalated. As for how much money they stole, it was not a problem. When they were arrested, they would know it as soon as they asked.

When Wang Xiyu heard Tang's younger brother say that his brother was arrested, he knew that the matter was exposed: What kind of man must be able to withstand the torture of electric rods? There is no need to mention other more intimidating methods of forced (confession)? You have to run away quickly!
