"Open your luggage and cooperate with us to check."
The four police officers came to the compartment of this station ticket and patrolled around, and found a few people who were more likely to be traitors and asked to check their luggage.
Yan Chu's current body shape is also not bad, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a slightly square mandible, and a buttocks and chin. It is the standard handsome appearance of this era, and it is still the kind that looks very upright.
His skin was slightly dark, he was wearing a blue overalls that had been washed with some whitish color, he was wearing rubberized pull-back shoes, and a yellowed towel was hanging around his neck. He looked like an ordinary worker and peasant.
In normal times, the police who made surprise inspections would not pay attention to him, but who made him carry two large luggage bags with him, which fits the characteristics of Daoye.
Like Yan Chu, there are three more unlucky guys, most of them are single men with big luggage.
Those who brought their families with them did not attract the attention of the police even though they had a lot of luggage. Few of them came here with their children and wives. The train tickets are so expensive. How much is it, not worth it.
Among the four people who were drawn, three were reluctant. This thing was finally put into a nylon bag, and now I have to take it out again. What a hassle. Besides, there is no privacy when checking in front of so many people. It's not safe to expose precious things, or precious things, to so many pairs of eyes.
Only Yan Chu listened to the policeman's words, and with a silly smile, he untied the rope tied to the waistband of his trousers, and took the things inside out openly.
"Which stop do you want to get off at?"
This train departed from Shencheng, and the policeman asked Yan Chu when he was taking things out.
"Back to Pinghu, this time I went to Shencheng to see my aunt. She has been married to Shencheng for more than 20 years, and this is the first time I have visited her."
Yan Chu replied, he first opened a nylon bag, which contained more miscellaneous things.
"Shencheng is great. It's big and prosperous. The clothes sold there are beautiful and cheap. I bought these little skirts for my five daughters."
The temperament Yan Chu displayed was that kind of honest man, he smiled and took out a photo: "This was specially taken before I came here, my aunt is only my nephew, and I also want to see what my child looks like How about it?"
In the photo, there is an adult man with six children, five golden flowers from high to low, and a baby in the arms of the man. Judging by the clothes and appearance, it seems to be a son.
"Where's your wife?"
As long as it is not confirmed that the other party is a bad guy, the police these days are very kind. The police who inspected Yan Chu seemed to be of the age of a father. Seeing that Yan Chu was young but already had six children, each child was born. Looking good, he couldn't help but asked with a smile.
"It was difficult to give birth to the cub."
Yan Chu's tone was a little lonely, "Our place is far away, and there is no son who can't justify it. If I knew that having a son would kill her, I wouldn't let her have another child whatever I said."
Yan Chu shook the beautiful red dress in his hand: "When she was alive, she took a fancy to a dress in our mall, but it was too expensive, it cost more than sixty yuan, she was reluctant to buy it, now she is leaving Now, I have to burn one on the anniversary of her death, the clothes in Shencheng are cheap, this dress only cost me thirteen yuan, so my daughter-in-law won’t come to her dream and say I’m a prodigal.”
"And these skirts are all bought for my daughter. A child without a mother will be even more painful as a father."
Yan Chu took out the clothes one by one, but the quantity was not much, about a dozen or twenty pieces, but combined with the number of his children, each child actually only had two or three new clothes.
This amount was still within the acceptable range of the police, and with what Yan Chu said just now, in the hearts of the police, he was an honest and affectionate man.
"This can of malted milk was given by my aunt. It's for the cubs to drink. There are also these dried fish and shrimps. There are no seafood in Pinghu. Let the children try these things."
The fishy smell of dried seafood is still very strong. It was nothing when it was tightly sealed, but now that it is taken out and the small nylon bag that wraps them is untied, the smell in the compartment is a bit strong.
"Rhubarb, are you alright?"
The other three police officers have finished checking, and urged the police on Yan Chu's side.
"almost."
The policeman named Rhubarb replied that Yan Chu's attitude was very open from the beginning to the end, and he didn't think that Daoye's psychological quality could be so good. Usually those people would be scared to death when they saw them wearing police caps, and they would run away. Running, it is impossible to be generous enough to let you check things, and chat with you easily.
The policeman casually rummaged through Yan Chu's luggage bag. He didn't see any square boxes, so he let go and counted him through. Then he followed the policemen and went to check the next compartment.
After they left, Yan Chu stuffed back the few things he just took out, and the other luggage bag was never opened from the beginning to the end.
After the police left, the atmosphere in the box became much more relaxed. Some people continued to rest, and some people chatted. About an hour later, the men who ran to the back compartment came back, and I don’t know where they were hiding just now. I went, and I escaped this session safely.
Only Yan Chu noticed that there were six people who left when they left just now, and now only five came back. Did the one who didn't come back stay directly in another compartment, or was he caught
"Xiao Wu is too unlucky. It's all right now. Not to mention the confiscation of those goods, at least one or two years of prison food will be served. I don't know how to tell my siblings when I go back."
What can we do? This line of business is quick to make money, but it also has to take risks. Since we chose to do this line of work, we were already prepared to be arrested. It's just our bad luck, and we just happened to run into random inspections. "The group of people gathered together and discussed a lot. The people on the side were clearly different from them. They were afraid that they would cause trouble if they got close to them. Those people didn't care, and they gathered together to discuss in a low voice.
Yan Chu was not too far away from them, and with his keen ears, he heard their conversation completely. Sure enough, the person who didn't come back was arrested by the police.
Since the reform and opening up, there have been more and more police officers who have caught the bad guys in Shencheng. Everyone knows that there are many small factories in Shencheng. The clothes there are trendy, and the prices of watches, radios and TVs are cheaper than those in the inland areas. The most important thing is Find the right way, these things don't need a ticket.
There are even more rare Hong Kong goods, which can also be found there. In this way, the profits are higher than imagined when they are brought back to the closed inland.
However, there are risks in doing this business. For example, if you encounter spot checks like today, if you are caught, your things will be confiscated, and you will have to go to jail. The political review is so strict now. There is a person with a criminal record in the family, and the child wants to be a soldier or a worker. are difficult.
In addition, there is also the risk of the goods falling on the hands.
The cost of transportation is very high now, the original one bought a station ticket, it takes seven days from Shencheng to Pinghu, this ticket cost him 18 yuan, 36 yuan for a round trip, normal The worker's salary for one month, plus the cost of purchasing goods, if it really hits the hands, the loss is beyond the affordability of ordinary people.
Yan Chu closed his eyes and rested his mind. If he remembered correctly, it was only the third day, and he had to live in this carriage for five more days.
Drink the water in the kettle that comes with you. If you run out of water, you have to go to a place three carriages away to pick it up. With so much luggage, you have to save some water and reduce the number of times you go to the toilet.
I ate the cheapest multi-grain buns. The boxed meals on the train were too expensive for most people to afford. The buns I had prepared for seven days were hard to the touch, so I had to tear off a piece and put it in my mouth. Swallow further.
None of these were the most difficult, but the most difficult thing was the problem of washing. Thinking that he would not be able to take a quick bath for the next four days, Yan Chu felt his whole body start to itch.
After finally getting through the past few days, Yan Chu took two big bags of luggage, took a deep breath, and felt that he was finally alive.
In a crowded carriage, even with the windows open, the smell is particularly unpleasant. The smell of feet, sweat, and body odor can make you feel suffocated every minute.
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening when the train arrived at Pinghu, and there was no nightlife at this time. Except for the train station, the lights were everywhere. Clear the way.
Yan Chu took the shoulder pole that he had just put away on the train, and walked towards home with two big bags of luggage. In his memory, Yuan's home was in Pinghu City, about half an hour away from the train station by foot. .
Fortunately, the original body was in good physical condition, and he carried heavy loads in the past. He wheezed and wheezed about fifty or sixty kilograms of things, and after walking for more than forty minutes, he finally arrived outside a small courtyard.
Yan Chu knocked on the door, but the people inside didn't seem to be asleep. After knocking for a long time, he heard a noise, the light came on, and the door opened.
"My dear boy, you are finally back."
It was an old lady who came to open the door, walking tremblingly, looking down, her feet were bound, no wonder she couldn't walk fast when she walked.
This old lady is Yuanshen's mother. During the time he was away from home, this old lady took care of the six children in the family.
"Dad is back."
When Yan Chu carried two big bags into the yard, several sleepy-eyed children ran out cheering.
There are no fat kids these days. Fortunately, they are from the city, so they don’t have to go to the fields, and they don’t look black. They are white and thin, and they are kind of cute.
Yan Chu was holding the big bag when he was hugged by three younger girls. The children were nimble like monkeys, grabbing his trouser legs and trying to climb up.
Among the five daughters, the eldest daughter did not come out, and she probably stayed in the room to look at her younger brother. The second daughter is also seven years old this year, and she knows a lot about things. It is not good to act like a baby with her father like the three younger sisters, but there is something wrong in her eyes. Envious.
At this moment, Yan Chu was a little thankful that the waistband of his trousers was tied tightly enough, otherwise he would not have pulled off his trousers with such strength.
