official journey ups and downs

After lunch, everyone gathered in Liu Siming's dormitory.Shen Tong's luggage is simple, two pieces of clothes, plus toiletries are all his belongings.The appearance of Zhang Yisheng from the Agricultural Economics Station really surprised everyone.

I saw the gray suit he found somewhere, crumpled.The trousers were obviously too short, and the red socks were completely exposed.What is even more surprising is that he actually put on a tie, and the ill-fitting attire made people laugh and cry.Liu Huiman on the side couldn't bend down with laughter, Liu Siming and Shen Tong looked at each other, and burst out laughing.

After a big laugh, Liu Siming still asked with a smile on his face: "I said Zhang Yisheng, what are you going to do with this outfit? Go on a blind date?"

Zhang Yiyi was baffled by their laughter. He lifted his trousers and said, "Isn't this going out to attract investment? My wife said to dress up better, so don't make people laugh when I go out, so I took my suit from more than ten years ago." It's out. It's a little small, but it's okay." After speaking, he tightened his tie.

Liu Siming couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and laughed loudly.After a while, he wiped away the tears from his eyes and said, "I said, Lao Zhang, you're making people laugh when you go out in this outfit."

Zhang Yiyi smiled, and said, "I think it looks pretty, do you think it's Shen Tong?"

Shen Tong tried his best to restrain himself, with a bright smile on his face, and said to Zhang Yisheng: "Well, it's pretty good."

What was even more strange was that Zhang Yisheng actually carried two large bags. Shen Tong kicked his feet and asked, "Director Zhang, we are going out to attract investment, why are you carrying so many things?"

Zhang Yisheng bent down and opened the zipper of the bag, and said with a smile: "My wife told me that she baked some pancakes for me in case I didn't get used to them when I went out. A little bit."

After hearing this, several people looked at each other and burst out laughing again.

After a while, Li Maoshan, the head of Qiaobei Village, also rushed over.Contrary to Zhang Yisheng, Li Maoshan is casual, with a red vest, gray coat, polyester cardigans, and old cloth shoes, just like a rural person.

Other people in the town government looked at such an unusual style of investment promotion team, and even pointed and joked to Liu Siming from time to time.Liu Siming looked embarrassed and spread his hands to express his helplessness.

As the first team to go out to attract investment, Ma Guotao paid special attention to it. He personally saw Liu Siming and the others off, and made an exception to ask the driver to send them to the entrance of the village.The mighty work of attracting investment has officially started. Standing in the yard, Ma Guotao is very excited. Regardless of success or failure, this is always his own political achievement.

To get to the capital, they had to go to Longzhong City to take the train, so they took the bus to the provincial capital like migrant workers.Going to the provincial capital is no stranger to Shen Tong, but to Zhang Yisheng, this is his first time traveling far.Along the way, Zhang Yisheng was as excited as a child. He climbed to the window to look at the scenery outside and saw the beautiful scenery along the way.

It was already past 8 o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Longzhong City. Because of Liu Huiman's motion sickness, Liu Siming had to reconsider the itinerary. After obtaining everyone's consent, he decided to stay in Longzhong City for one night and start tomorrow morning.

Shen Tong was very familiar with Longzhong, so at his suggestion, he found a nearby hotel to live in.Due to the shortage of funds, the four men registered a large common room, and registered a slightly better standard room for Liu Huiman.

Although the car ride was a bit tiring, Li Maoshan and Zhang Yisheng's sense of freshness towards the city remained undiminished. Just after taking a break, Zhang Yisheng proposed to go out for a stroll and have a meal by the way.Liu Huiman seemed to have a little fever, so Liu Siming took the initiative to stay and take care of Liu Huiman, and asked Shen Tong to take Zhang Yisheng and the others out for dinner.

After the luggage was ready on the hour, Shen Tong took two peasants from the countryside who were dressed in "exotic clothes" and went out.Along the way, the two looked left and right, sighed from time to time, and asked Shen Tong about this and that.Shen Tong was a little helpless, but patiently explained to the two of them.

Just then, two policemen appeared in front of them...

"You guys, take out your temporary residence permit and ID card, hurry up!" A tall policeman said fiercely to Shen Tong and the others.Another shorter policeman was holding a baton in his hand, staring at each of them like a leopard watching food, afraid that the fat in his mouth would slip away.

"Oops!" Shen Tong's first instinct was that he was in trouble, so he must be calm at this moment.But I didn't carry my ID card with me, and put it in the hotel.So Shen Tong hurriedly took out a cigarette from his pocket, and said while smoking: "Comrade police, we are from Dongquan County, Longnan City, and we just stayed in a hotel. Didn't we just come out to have a meal? The ID cards are all in the hotel, or I'll go back and get them now." After finishing speaking, she was about to turn around and leave.

"Alas, what are you going to do? Come back to me." Seeing that Shen Tong was about to leave, the short policeman grabbed Shen Tong's neckline from behind and pulled it back abruptly.

Shen Tong was a little annoyed, swung his arm, and knocked off the policeman's hand.He said angrily: "I'm going back to get my ID card now, don't you guys want to see the ID card?"

The short policeman was beaten by Shen Tong, a little annoyed, he raised his baton to beat him.The tall policeman gave up, and the short policeman gave up.

"Who asked you to get your ID card? If you don't have an ID card, come with us." After finishing speaking, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said in a stern voice.

Zhang Yiyi and Li Maoshan were so frightened by this scene that their legs kept shaking and their foreheads were sweating, watching the police's every move timidly.

Shen Tong didn't understand what was going on until now, and it turned out that they were regarded as "blind people".Blind flow, literally, can be understood as blind flow.At a deeper level, it refers to the blind influx of rural population into big cities. The root cause of this problem is the imbalance of the urban-rural dual structure.In order to survive, a large number of surplus rural laborers had to leave their hometowns and look for employment opportunities in big cities. However, a large number of farmers flooded into cities, which increased the overall carrying capacity of cities, so "shelter houses" came into being.

The shelter and repatriation system is a social welfare measure used to provide shelter and relief to unemployed people and disaster victims who flooded into cities in the early 90s, funded by the government.But in the late 90s, the blind flow gradually increased, and some local shelters were far from being able to meet the financial allocation, so they changed ways to get benefits from it.The specific manifestations are: one is to contact some enterprises, and the shelter is responsible for providing free labor, and the enterprises pay a certain fee; the other is to collect dispatch fees.Take the initiative to contact the family members of the detainees, pay a certain fee, and the shelter will be responsible for sending the detainees back.Of course there are more upgrades, but these two are more common.

As a resource-rich province in the country, Dongjiang Province has a large demand for cheap labor, so there are naturally many blind people who flood into the provincial capital Longzhong City every year.Shen Tong used to be very clear about the asylum situation in Dongjiang Province in the newspaper office, and never thought that it would happen to him.
