Today's Bincheng has a nationally renowned tourist area.
Its nature is basically equivalent to the "Eastern Suburban Alley" in Beijing, the "Five Avenues" in Tianjin, the "Bund" in Shanghai, or the "Eight Passes" in Qingdao.
That is the villa area at the foot of Nanshan Mountain composed of "Qiqi Street", "Jinan Street", "Wanghai Street" and "Shanlin Street".
This villa area is very close to Bencheng Government, Bencheng Railway Station, Bencheng Port and the largest commercial street "Laojinmen Street", making it an absolutely prime location.
Especially because of the beautiful scenery and hundreds of Japanese-style garden houses left behind, it is called "Nanshan Tourist Style Street".
So back then, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the situation was very similar to the situation when the "upper class" lived here during the Japanese occupation. It also became a living area for senior cadres.
For many years, everyone in Bincheng has known that the families who can occupy a small building in these streets are all Bincheng's dignitaries, so among the people, this place is also called the "aristocratic district".
The house that Yang Weifan took Hong Yanwu and others to see was a two-story small foreign-style building on the east side of "Wanghai Street" with its own courtyard gate facing the street.
After parking the car at the gate, Yang Weifan gave a few people a general introduction to the nearby situation.
"Almost all the houses in these streets were built during the Japanese rule. In the past, they were all the residences of senior officials of Japan's "Kanto Prefecture Agency." The most famous one is the castle-like three-story building across the street because of its full appearance.
It is made of limestone and is commonly known as "Stone Castle" by the common people. It is the official residence of the notorious and sinful Kawamoto Daisaku..."
"What? Who is Daisaku Kawamoto? Have you never heard of it? If you tell me, I'm sure you will be shocked. This grandson is the head of the Japanese secret service stationed in Bincheng. It is said that he single-handedly planned the Huanggutun Incident that shocked China and the world.
', killed the 'bearded handsome' Zhang Zuolin..."
"Ask about our house? It has a smaller origin. It seems that it was originally the residence of a Japanese military commander. Later, a Soviet expert lived in it during the Sino-Soviet honeymoon period. In fact, this was not the original residence of our family. I heard
My mother said that when my father was an official in Bincheng, he seemed to have lived in Zhang Zongchang's villa, but it was later taken back during the 'movement'. The current one was re-provided by the army when my father came back to serve after his comeback.
It’s smaller than the original one…”
Yang Weifan's words undoubtedly revealed a lot, and Hong Yanwu and the others couldn't help but look at each other. No one said anything, they all suppressed the shock in their hearts, silently followed Yang Weifan out of the jeep, and watched him dig into his pocket to find the keys.
But I do have to say that the conditions of this villa are really good, and it is just right for storing sea cucumbers. There is definitely a lot of storage space, and the privacy is pretty good.
From the outside, the entire building is not only protected by thick walls and iron gates, but several towering maple trees in the yard also act as a visual barrier, blocking several main windows, making it difficult to see.
The scene in the house.
When Yang Weifan opened the padlock on the door and everyone entered the yard, they realized that the structure and quality of the house were far better than what he had guessed outside the wall.
The walls of this villa are entirely made of beige rocks, the roof is covered with brown roof tiles, the wide and thick magenta doors open in opposite directions, the dazzling and long brass door handles are shiny, and there is a tall stone pillar in front of the door.
The lighted porch should be as stylish as possible.
The only slight regret is that the courtyard of the house is not large, and the basement exit reserved for burning the boiler takes up a lot of space. But the rest of the house is well-proportioned and has a unique atmosphere. There is a rockery fish pond under the shade of the trees.
There is a small bridge and flowing water, and the courtyard wall is covered with white roses.
Overall, this house has a unique appearance and an elegant courtyard. You can understand the identity of the owner more deeply at a glance. Even in this villa area, it should be top-notch.
At this moment, "General" and Chen Liquan finally couldn't help but marvel.
One said, "Yang Zi, this small mansion is not for ordinary people to live in! Isn't your father's rank too high? What kind of official is he?"
Another said, "In a few days, all the maple trees in the yard will change colors and it will be really cool. From my perspective, you will soon catch up with the 'Shuangqing Villa' in Xiangshan."
Yang Weifan was self-aware and quickly shook his head.
"I'm telling you two, please stop praising me so much. 'Shuangqing Villa' is where the great leader stayed. You think too highly of my father. How can he compare with the great leader? He is still several levels behind."
Well... to tell you the truth, my dad... he... is just an ordinary person. Just like the general public, he smokes, drinks, bruises his feet, and loves to curse..."
This is not nonsense!
Seeing that Yang Weifan kept his mouth shut and kept mumbling for a long time before uttering these words. Chen Liquan and "General" knew that people didn't like to talk about the situation at home, so they didn't continue to ask more questions.
After all, Hong Yanwu was well-informed. Based on what he saw, he could already determine some of the circumstances behind it.
I couldn't help but think: Damn, even though I knew this kid's father was not a young official, I didn't expect him to be so big. Looking at his posture, this kid's father was at least a cadre at the level of a military region. It's really evil. I want to hide in it for the rest of my life.
There's no way to avoid it. The high-ranking official named Yang...who could that be? Alas, we still don't know much about the naval force...
In this way, several people who had different feelings soon followed Yang Weifan into the house.
Once they entered, they realized that it was surprisingly luxurious inside!
Take the living room as an example. It has narrow oak floors, decorative concave and convex patterns in the corners of the room, a bone gray marble fireplace under the snow-white walls, a crystal-clear chandelier hanging from the ceiling and a large wooden ceiling fan.
In addition, there are seven or eight leather sofas, arranged around the coffee table like a conference room. It is actually almost the same as the furnishings of the old social capitalists in the movie.
This couldn't help but arouse the curiosity of "General" and Chen Liquan, as if "Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden", and looked at each large room from one to another.
There is also a study, dining room, kitchen, toilet, and two bedrooms downstairs. As for the upstairs, although there are not as many rooms as downstairs, they are brighter.
The best thing is that from here, you can see the beautiful Nanshan Park in the distance, and looking down from the balcony makes people feel very majestic.
Of course, the layout of all rooms is also beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
There is a telephone in the study, a refrigerator in the dining room, an electric oven in the kitchen, a shower head and a flush toilet in the bathroom, and a spring-cushioned copper-cast wire bed in the bedroom. All of these are visible to Chen Liquan and "General"
It was dizzying and the experience was amazing.
The most amazing thing is that they went around in a circle, and finally found another strange pine box-like thing next to the radio on the wine cabinet in the living room, with an opaque gray glass on the front. After looking at it for a long time, no one knew what it was.
What is it for?
They were confused, but fortunately Hong Yanwu gave them the answer, telling them that it was a "television". He also explained that when you turn it on, you can see the picture and hear the sound, just like watching a small movie.
This naturally made Chen Liquan and the "general" very excited, but unexpectedly Yang Weifan showed a strange look, which inevitably made them both skeptical.
But in fact, Yang Weifan was just surprised that Hong Yanwu knew this thing. He said that this "television" was imported from the Soviet Union, the brand name was "Ruby", and there were only 100 units in Bincheng, and even ordinary-level cadres didn't listen.
As he said, he asked Hong Yanwu where he had seen him?
But Hong Yanwu just smiled flatly and said that if Yang Weifan revealed the details about his father, he would tell him the answer.
As a result, Yang Weifan could only close his mouth and smile without saying a word.
Both of them played riddles and talked in a secretive way. But they were right about one thing. "Television" is such a wonderful thing!
As Hong Yanwu plugged in the power, and just turned the switch control next to it, the gray glass turned into a bright color. Then, Hong Yanwu turned the platform control again, and a small figure actually appeared in the glass shaking.
scene.
Taking a closer look, the guy inside was walking along the railway with a signal light. Then, the little guy heard the voice of Li Yuhe, which is familiar to everyone in the contemporary era.
In the eyes of Chen Liquan and the "general", this is indeed curious.
The image on the screen is exactly the same as "Red Lantern" shown in the cinema, except that there is no color and the image is much smaller.
And it's not very clear. Even the two lumps on Li Yuhe's face are blurry. Only Li Tiemei's fat face is big enough, and some details can be seen.
But no matter what, this is awesome! Think about it, who can show movies every day these days? It’s really a luxury!
So Chen Liquan and "General" still fully enjoyed the joy of surprise, their eyes were almost staring, and the two black faces were getting closer and closer to the TV.
Time passed slowly like this, and the model play gradually progressed to the last moment. Unexpectedly, just when the old devil was about to kill Grandma Li, an accident happened.
As the old devil shouted, his hands covered the entire screen like iron forks.
Following the "boom" sound, Chen Liquan and "General" were so shocked that they both hit their heads against the TV.
Although the two of them had watched "Red Lantern" countless times in the cinema and were familiar with this shot, the contrast on the black and white TV set was too strong, and the old devil's face was all frighteningly pale.
.
What's even more annoying is that there are some snowflakes floating on the screen at the same time.
The two of them were looking so intently that their eyes were actually about to fall out of their sockets, and they were in unbearable pain.
Then as soon as this shocking shot appeared, the snow-green light on the screen made them feel dizzy. Their bodies floated up in an instant, and they involuntarily plunged into the screen.
.
Needless to say, when Hong Yanwu and Yang Weifan saw their embarrassment, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
