Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

Li Youcai jumped off the kang.

"Duoduo, come here, daddy will dress you."

Duoduo was playing with a doll. When she heard her father calling her, she put down the doll and walked over.

Let Li Youcai put on her cotton jacket.

"Xinyan, you should pack up and go to Dad's place first. You can have dinner there. I'm going out to do something later. Don't come back if I don't pick you up." Li Youcai tried to speak in a calm tone, but he still couldn't control his anxiety.

He used to be a gambler, and many people knew that he was from the Dongsheng Brigade.

If Yang Dahai and Erpi also knew about it, they could chase into the village and find their way back to their house by asking around. It would be too unsafe to leave Chu Xinyan and Duoduo at home.

Chu Xinyan is not a fool. On the way back from the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Youcai was acting very abnormally. It was the first time she saw Li Youcai so uneasy.

"You were acting strangely when you came back today, and you were restless at home. Is it related to those two people you met at the supply and marketing cooperative? Who are they to scare you so much?"

Li Youcai said, "Those two people are not good people. I offended them today and I'm afraid they will retaliate. You and Duoduo go to Dad first. I'll find someone to help mediate and pick you up in the evening."

"What are you talking about? Let's call the police. There are so many bad guys out there. You mustn't get involved with them. I just want to live a stable life." Chu Xinyan's eyes were red. She was worried about Li Youcai's safety and was afraid that Li Youcai would hang out outside.

Today, all the ticket scalpers called Li Youcai "Brother Cai", making Li Youcai look like a big gangster leader.

Li Youcai also knew those two bad guys.

Now Li Youcai is so cautious again, which makes Chu Xinyan wonder whether Li Youcai is still fooling around behind her back.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. I'm not fooling around. I'm doing this to prevent any problems. Once you and Duoduo are settled, I'll report to the police."

"I'll explain it to you when this matter is completely resolved. Now just listen to me and don't worry about anything. Take Duoduo to Dad's house and wait for me to come back."

Li Youcai quickly dressed Duoduo, then grabbed Duoduo's doll and stuffed it into Duoduo's hands.

He took Chu Xinyan to his father Li Guanghu's house.

"Brother! Sister-in-law." Li Youjie, who was sweeping the yard, greeted his eldest brother and his family of three when he saw them come in.

Chu Xinyan looked unhappy and went straight into the house holding Duoduo.

Li Youjie thought his elder brother and sister-in-law were arguing. He put down his broom and walked over to Li Youcai, asking quietly, "Didn't you and sister-in-law go to the county to buy New Year's goods? Are you arguing again?"

Li Youcai shook his head, his face full of seriousness. "I ran into trouble in the county today. I have to go out to do something. Let your sister-in-law and Duoduo stay here. Don't go anywhere at home today. Call Dazhuang with you and stay at home. If any strangers come, don't open the door! They may be looking for revenge on me."

"Besides, they have guns!"

When Li Youjie heard this, his eyes widened and he was completely shocked.

"Brother, who is that person? How did you get into such trouble?" Li Youjie asked in astonishment.

"They are two desperadoes. I can't explain them to you in just a few words. Anyway, you must be careful. The family depends on you, do you understand?" Li Youcai said in a deep voice.

Looking at his elder brother's serious eyes, Li Youjie nodded: "What about you? What are you going to do?"

"Those two men have committed murder and are wanted criminals. I'm going to the county town to report to the police now. I hope they can arrest them." Li Youcai said.

"Brother! You must be careful!" Li Youjie warned with his eyes wide open.

His brother had offended two murderers, and Li Youjie was very upset.

"Okay, I'm leaving. Please lock the door." Li Youcai patted Li Youjie's arm hard to wake the boy up, and then walked out of the yard without looking back.

Li Youjie ran to Dazhuang's house, called Dazhuang over, and then locked the gate of his yard.

Li Youcai changed into his tattered cotton-padded jacket with the cotton showing through, put on a cotton hat and scarf, and wrapped himself tightly.

After arriving in the county town.

Li Youcai bought a few bags of White Rabbit milk candy and then waited near the phone booth.

After waiting for a long time, Li Youcai finally saw two children on the street. They were dressed in rags and looked like two little beggars.

"Children, come here."

Li Youcai greeted the two little beggars.

"What do you want us to do?" The two children walked up to Li Youcai without any fear.

"Can you two do me a favor? Just say a few words on the phone. Whoever is willing to help me will get a bag of White Rabbit milk candy." Li Youcai took out a bag of White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket.

Gudong!

When the two children saw such a big bag of candy, they both swallowed their saliva.

"Give me the candy first, and I'll help you speak." The older child said in a crisp voice.

Li Youcai smiled. Although these two kids are young, they are quite experienced in the world of martial arts.

"Okay!" Li Youcai handed over the White Rabbit in his hand.

The child snatched the big White Rabbit and held it in his arms, as if he was afraid that Li Youcai would change his mind and take it back.

"What do you want us to help you say?" the child asked.

"I'll hand you the microphone later, and you just say..." Li Youcai whispered to the two children what to say.

After a moment, Li Youcai asked, "Do you remember?"

"Remember." The two children said in unison.

"Walk."

Li Youcai led the two children to the telephone booth.

The three of them looked so shabby that the check-in attendant inside frowned.

Li Youcai didn't bother to pay attention to the check-in clerk and threw two dimes into the box: "I'll make a call."

When the check-in clerk saw the money, he ignored it.

Li Youcai picked up the phone and dialed the number 01.

In that era, 110 did not exist. If people wanted to report to the police, most of them would choose to go directly to the police station. There was also a police phone number, but very few people used it.

Toot toot...

"Hello, this is the County Public Security Bureau..."

After hearing this voice, Li Youcai directly put the microphone next to the older child's ear and signaled him that he could speak.

The child held the microphone with both hands and whispered, "I want to report that the wanted criminal Yang Dahai and his accomplices are planning to rob the credit union tomorrow. They have guns!"

After the child finished speaking, Li Youcai directly took back the phone and hung up.

"Uncle, let me play one too, and then you can give me a bag of candy." The other younger child followed Li Youcai and said eagerly.

"Okay, but we have to go to another phone booth." Li Youcai said.

When the two little beggars heard this, they excitedly pointed in a direction and said, "There's a telephone booth over there."

On the other side, Teng County Public Security Bureau.

In the police telephone answering room, the person who answered the phone was a relatively young police officer.

After saying hello a few times, he hung up the phone helplessly.

"baffling!"

"Xiao Guan, what's wrong?" An old policeman with half-white hair standing next to him, holding a newspaper in his hand, saw Xiao Guan, who had just arrived, mumbling something and asked casually.

"It's nothing. I'm just a little confused. The person who called was a kid, saying someone was going to rob the credit union. Isn't that nonsense?" Xiao Guan curled his lips.

"Did the kid hit me?" The old policeman shook his head. "If you ask me, the call should have been made to the police station downstairs."

The Public Security Bureau has set up a police hotline, and all day long it's either people missing chickens, looking for dogs, or couples fighting. Now it's even more outrageous, even children are reporting fights.

Xiao Guan had just arrived and was assigned to answer the phone. He felt a little reluctant, but he didn't dare to complain like the old policeman, so he could only concentrate on registering.

Ding-ling-ling...the phone rang again.

Xiao Guan answered the phone: "Hello, this is the County Public Security Bureau."

As soon as he finished speaking, a child's voice came from the other end of the phone again.

"I want to report it! The wanted criminal Yang Dahai and his accomplices are planning to rob a credit union tomorrow. They have guns!"

"Hello! Can you speak more clearly? Hello? Hello?..." Xiao Guan shouted into the microphone, but the other party hung up the phone just like last time.

"Is it the kid from before?" the old policeman asked when he saw this.

Xiao Guan shook his head: "It's a child, but not the same one as before. He said exactly the same thing."

"what did you say?"

"They said that the wanted criminal Yang Dahai and his accomplices are going to rob a credit union tomorrow, and they also said they have guns." Xiao Guan frowned and told what he had just heard.

"Yang Dahai?" The old policeman stood up suddenly when he heard the name.
